How I never knew about this, I simply do not know. Evidently, if you venture to Baltimore's Inner Harbor Wednesday through Sunday (maybe more often over the summer) you're likely to come across a little cupcake-on-wheels-operation known as
Perfect Cupcakes. If a truck and a golf cart got together and had a baby, the Perfect Cupcakes truck is what would come out. Take a look! How cute is that???

Perfect Cupcakes Owner Catherine Hamiton drives this little truck from Canton each day, setting up shop near the Pier 5 Hotel in the Inner Harbor, and sells cupcakes out of the back! The opening animation to her website is actually a girl (her) driving a cupcake truck to a "Cupcake Girl" song that Hamilton herself wrote! Very clever.
Hamilton has a wide variety of flavors, including her signature cupcake, Pink Velvet, along with Red Velvet, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Lemon, Coffee, Candy Cane, and a White Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. My sister was in Baltimore for the day and brought me a Red Velvet and a Chocolate on Chocolate. Cupcakes are $2 each or $10 for 6. Here are my reviews:
The Red Velvet was good, very sweet. Hamilton uses a basic sweet buttercream frosting as opposed to the traditional Cream Cheese Frosting normally found on Red Velvet cupcakes. This gives the cupcakes a completely different flavor than what you're used to, but this isn't a bad thing. The cake was moist and the large sprinkles on top gave it a nice crunch. While I think I prefer Red Velvet to have Cream Cheese frosting, I did like this cupcake.The Chocolate on Chocolate was very light in weight, and actually broke in half when I took the wrapper off and attempted to take a bite. Aside from being hard to handle, it was a good, average chocolate cupcake. The cake was moist and had more of a fudge like taste it, which I like. My only criticism with this one is that the chocolate frosting could have been a little bit richer, it only tasted one step above a grocery store frosting.
Overall, Hamilton has a good thing going! I would definitely recommend stopping by Ms. Sprinkles (the name of her darling little cupcake truck) and trying some of these cupcakes!
