Abby Girl Sweets first opened in downtown Cincinnati on January 7^th, 2010.  Owned and operated by Nathan and Andrea Thompson, I was first introduced to these decadent cupcakes on a recent visit to Cincinnati. Having worked at Carew Tower a few years earlier, I was excited that this new cupcakery was located around the corner on Fifth Street.  I happened upon this pretty pink shop and couldn’t resist stepping inside to try a cupcake or two.

Each day, Nathan bakes 10 – 12 cupcake flavors per day, while his wife Andrea frosts them.  From cake to cheesecake based cupcakes, there are so many amazing confections to try.  Fans of the cupcakery can rest-assured that they can order from the menu of regular flavors while new flavors will be added weekly.

With so many spectacular choices, I finally decided on the Red Velvet cupcake which was decadent and moist.  Additional flavors include carrot cake, vanilla buttercream, pistachio, peanut butter cup and chocolate supreme which are all baked from scratch.

Paying $3.50 each for cupcakes up to five while a half a dozen to a dozen brings in $3.25 for each cupcake. Call Abby Sweets for pricing on large orders. Today there are three locations to include downtown, Blue Ash and Eastgate.

I’m looking forward to checking out their Facebook page to see which new flavors are added to their menu.  I’m sure their daughter Abby, the taste tester for the company, will give her stamp of approval.
