As we travail along this holy quest, we will consistently update the following list in an effort to share with our readers the ones that have come close, and yet still found wanting.

Runners-up, beginning with the most delicious and descending to the just-all-right delicious:
1. Baked and Wired's Lemon Raspberry
2. Crumbs' Fluffernutter
3. Georgetown Cupcakes' Pumpkin
*As an extra service, we will tell you the cupcakes to stay away from at all costs:
1. Crumbs' Blackout
