2024 Carrot Cupcakes
The Carrot Cake Man
For more than 40 years, Vernon Wilkins, a.k.a. “The Carrot Cake Man,” has blessed West Philly and University City with sweet and fluffy carrot cupcakes topped with a thick layer of cream cheese icing. On rare occasions, they’ll pop up in corner stores, but you’ll most likely find these sweet treats wrapped in cellophane and ready to enjoy at Lee’s Deli on Baltimore Avenue and Four Worlds Bakery on Woodland Avenue.
