Picture it: my first week in Munich. Surrounded by carnivale treats, and just the typical Bavarian…read morefare (bread, so much bread. sugar, so much sugar. nuttellllllllllla). ...and... I managed to find the only "real" cupcake shop in the entire city. When I learned that Robin W had NEVER tried this cutesy "delicacy" we made a beeline for Wir Machen Cupcakes, and did away with that little problem forever! Now don't worry, surely I'm going to try all the wonderful Bavarian desserts and pastries...at least a bite of each. I promise. But, cupcakes called and we answered. It's not inauthentic, it's research. We had to go and make sure this stuff was the real deal. Well I did, since Robin wouldn't have known...but you get the idea. And I am here to attest: the cupcakes at Wir Machen are EXCELLENT. A bit of backstory: I don't even really LOVE cupcakes. I get the idea, I love sweets...etc, etc. But I could never really get down with the trendy cupcake thing in the states. Sure I've enjoyed a cupcake or two (or 50) in my day and I'd never turn one down, but I was never one to be all drooly wooly (fanatical) over them. Honestly, a bit too sweet. That was always my complaint... Well, Wir Machen made my dreams come true...as Germans aren't as prone to the overly-sweet tastes of Americans/Aussies, etc, they tempered the recipe. And I am here to divulge, it's RIGHT on the money. I had the coconut flake cupcake, and it was dreamy. Soft, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly portioned. Have mercy, really. I will go back and try some others. The shop itself is beyond adorable with a chic comfortable vibe. It is quite small though, so be warned. 4 chairs and 2 small tables...I'm sure in the summer months the sidewalk is fair game as well. They also serve coffee, of course. It would be the perfect treat to sit here with a mini cake and espresso for just a few minutes to stop time. It would. German cupcakes. Can and will be done, here. Approved. Price a little over 3euro/each. Oh, and Robin obviously approves of his first cupcake...you can read his review for more. You're welcome Mr. W!

If you REALLY concentrate and try not to be distracted by all the cute details in the shop to…read moreobjectively judge the cupcakes, then you'll probably draw the conclusion that they're really nothing special (in my opinion this applies to cupcakes in general). Cupcakes are basically a tiny muffin with a very very greasy topping. In the specific case these tiny muffins are also very expensive. The above follows from the fact that I'm more a person of substance, less of form. I admit that the little place is cute and the idea to open here a little shop dedicated to the greasy American specialty with all the creative toppings is original. I'd give 4 stars only to this idea. That said, the place is so tiny that it gets claustrophobic if just 2-3 customers are in line for cupcakes. And it can also take AGES before it's your turn since the waiters (super nice and friendly, this must be said) also have to make and serve coffee to the people occupying the two tables in the back. I don't want to give a bad review, it's just that Wir Machen Cupcakes is yet again one of those places that suddenly becomes fashionable in this city and everyone says great things about but there's no real objective basis for that. A typical Munich thing.
