Ya, loved their first two locations. This one is a bit of a non-starter for me, but I wish them luck.

I saw that. Truly disheartening. By far the best cupcakes in the City!
I patronized them less after the location at Yonge/Davenport closed. That was much more convenient to me as an east ender than the Trinity Belwoods one. But I still made it down there 2-3x per year.
I wonder what the reason is for the closing.

I always felt D'Lish left money on the table as they tended to close very early each day, nominally 5pm, but really as soon as they sold through which was sometimes as early as 2:30pm.
They always lost out on the after-work, on-my-way-home, I want something with dessert market. They also always opened close to lunch, which meant no access to the cupcakes for office meeting crowd.
Loved their product, the business model I was iffy on........
I have never understood the appeal of cupcakes. Give me a good slice of cake any day. What makes a good cupcake?

Same thing as a cake.
Moist, rich, flavourful.
Difference is that it's hand-held, no utensils required, and the portion tends to be smaller than a typical piece of cake, which means fewer calories; and of course, a cut-open cake dries out, where cupcakes hold their freshness longer.
But all that frosting? Doesn’t that negate the saved cake calories?
