Best Cupcakes in LA. Hands down!



Joan's On 3rd cupcakes are reason enough to live in LA. Well that and their grilled ham and cheese, homemade burrata, maple rosemary chicken sandwich, gelato, peanut butter cookies, mac and cheese, and well...you get the point.  What specifically caught my eye THIS time, was the special raspberry vanilla cupcake I got last week that was filled with homemade raspberry jam. AMAZZZING.
