This place is seriously amazing. I've been here multiple times. This place is my favorite spot ever for dessert treats. Everything I have tried has been excellent. So much love goes into there products. There key lime cheesecake cupcake is the greatest thing I have ever eaten.

These cupcakes are AMAZING - I don't usually rave about cupcakes but these are SO good and I actually felt compelled to write a review! They taste like homemade - dense but really moist with a lovely crumb. I ordered almost every flavour (wonderful selection!) - but actually tasted the lime curd (real curd inside) and double chocolate (chocolate heaven). This is the best cupcake place I have ever been to (Sprinkles is meh in comparison)!

Cupcakin' Bake Shop is in Virginia Bakery's space. the display area is spacious. offerings: minis and full size cupcakes with flavors etched on the glass in front. i'm was curious how the cupcakes tasted. don't eat as much as before. eats: chocolate vanila. (3.95) -nice chocolate flavoring on top, the sweetness from the cream was overbearing. i no longer have a sweet tooth. kids will love the cupcakes. street parking only. service quick, efficient and corteous.

First time I ordered, I believe the owner helped me package the large 8 dozen order of the minis, without issues. She even gave me some free cookies for the large order. My staff loved the cupcakes so I went back today and ordered 8 dozen more of the minis. The cashier misunderstood me and only packaged 1 box of minis, but when I requested 3 more, she stated that I had a limit as to how many minis I could order. I was completely confused as to why there's a limit on how many cupcakes I can order. I had 4 sites in total to provide cupcakes to, so I was in a bit of a dilemma. Luckily it all worked out, but they should let customers know to preorder if we're not able to pick up a few dozen cupcakes the day of. It felt as if I was begging for cupcakes.

I have never ever ever ever ever in my whole life tasted a cupcake as good as the cupcake I bought today from the shop. I bought the Keylime pie cupcake, the textures were on point, the buttercream was superb, and the moistness of the cupcake itself was delightful. I'm glad I only bought one because if I bought more I know I would have eaten them all. My daughter got a mini version of the classic vanilla and the salted caramel, both of which she said were perfectly delicious.

I ordered two dozen to a outdoor birthday party yesterday. So many folks came to me and said this was the best cupcake they ever had! Where is it from?!! Key lime and blackberry lemon were huge hits. You have new fans, Cupcakin! Peeps from Southbay are going to come out for more. Also, have to say the staff was super nice as I kept changing my order to add a few more cakes and flavors.

Here I was thinking the cupcake trend was passé, but not at this bakery! I got one of every mini cupcake they have and ate all of them they were EXCELLENT! I can't even pick a favorite because they were all so good. The frosting was creamy and not super thick and it did melt a little throughout the day but it tasted amazing.

Wow, this place is the real deal! I'm actually a pretty big fan of Sprinkles but the flavors and quality at Cupcakin' are next level. I ordered 4 cupcakes just because (: and I ate 3 in one sitting! Key Lime- this one was impressive - I loved the textures (including the crust) and the flavors. Tied for my favorite! Blackberry lemon- flavor of the month, to be honest I felt this was not great. Would give it 1/5. Too one-note and kind of stodgy Vanilla salted caramel - perfect balance of flavors, and the icing is so light Chocolate salted caramel - not surprisingly this was my other favorite. Can't go wrong with this combo and Cupcakin' nailed it! Can't wait to come back, although I need to show some self control next time
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!! I needed to order a cake & thought I'd give this place a try! I had never tried any of their goodies so I opted for the TOFFEE CUPCAKE!!!!! It was DELECTABLE!!!! Ordered a strawberry cake which was a BIG HIT! The birthday girl really enjoyed it. Not to mention that I also got the Boston Cream Pie, Red Velvet, Lemon, Salted Caramel cupcakes...YES I left SOME on the shelf, but NO ONE COULD BLAME ME IF I CHOSE NOT TO. Lol I'll definitely be a return customer, I'll just need to exercise more *wink*

Amazing cupcakes. First time trying so we tried the carrot cake, double chocolate, key lime, red velvet, and salted caramel cupcakes and mini cupcakes all of them were wonderful. Best cupcakes I have had. Perfect cake under perfect frosting. Will definitely be back for more

Literally the best cupcakes I've EVER eaten!! The "key lime pie" w/ dreamy cream cheese frosting, lime curd, graham cracker crust bottom & supper moist yet lighter than air cake had me scraping the crumbs off the paper cup like I was eating an artichoke. I tried 5 different mini cupcakes & all were amazing. The Red Velvet was also way up on my top 3 best list. You can't go wrong... unless you DON'T go!
