Whether you are celebrating a birthday or just looking to indulge your sweet tooth, cupcakes are a great way to treat yourself to a little dessert.

Using Yelp reviews and ratings, Eat This, Not That! compiled a list of the best cupcakes in each state and where you can find them. While there is no shortage of the sweet treat across California, only one bakery could take the top spot.

"From dipped to filled to sprinkled, the perfect cupcake can be hard to come by. Whether it's texture, moistness level, or cake to frosting ratio, it's easy to cross the line between sickly sweet and 'to die for' good. These 50 sweet shops across the country seem to have perfected the art of cupcake baking, and we can't wait for you to visit them."

According to the website, the best cupcake in all of California is at... Danville Bakery in Danville! Here's what Eat This, Not That! had to say about the shop:

"Unfortunately, the original Yelp pick, Cat's Cupcakery, has closed. The site urges people to try Danville Bakery run by Karen Cordeiro for all their cupcakes and sweet needs. Yelp reviewers cannot heap enough praise on the beautiful creations at this bakery."
