I recently was at my Girlfriends mom birthday party. She brought cupcakes from this establishment. She got several different flavors. I tried a few of them and they all were dry and the frosting was pasty not tasty. I asked her where she got them because she needs her money back. She told me a lot of people at the party were saying the same thing. She called the owner and he was so rude to her. I couldn't believe he was in business with the way he treats his customers. I would never buy anything from this place and will never recommend this place to anybody. BEWARE OF OWNER!!! If you have a problem he will fight you to fix it.

This is my first time going to the store, when I walked in there was no another counter and someone eventually came out and helped. It was a bit weird cuz it seemed like the person was upset that I was there to buy stuff which meat for a confusing interaction. I went to looking for a variety of cupcakes and their selection was quite impressive. I got a mix of different flavors for my guests. Everyone got to try the different flavors unanimously agreed that they were delicious. Overall I recommend this place for their cupcakes. As for the customer service piece we'll see next time maybe it was just an off day.

I was staying across the street at the Residence Inn and walked over to the shopping center. It was my husbands birthday so finding this place was perfect. I got a pack of mini cupcakes and 3 regular sized. I loved the peanut butter cup one and my hubby the birthday boy, enjoyed his s more one. Going to stop by again before leaving town and get some more

Came here for gluten free cupcakes. No thrills bakery and service is just fine. The cupcakes are not cheap and to top it off if you want something specialty wise. Like allergy friendly cupcakes you pay near 5 bucks a piece. Those that I received were god awful. Felt like they were maybe 3 or 4 days old out of a freezer. Very plain, thick like a cake mix, basic flavors like chocolate or vanilla. Can't recommend. Maybe the regular selection is amazing but if you have allergies and a love of cupcakes just stay with trader joes or diy. This isn't it. MAD PLAIN AND DRY!
I cannot recommend this place. I got two of the “snazzier” whoopie pie type cupcakes as recommended by the salesperson. I even picked one of the more “popular” flavors.
Both cupcakes I received were dry and less flavorful than any safeway or even walmart cupcake I’ve had. Not worth the price, not worth the trouble or time. Just go get a set of cupcakes from your local grocery for the same price as one of these, and they will feel and taste better. Maybe some of the other flavors are tastier than the two I tried, but these were so lackluster that I do not think I could be convinced to return and try any more.
I do not recommend the lemon one or the banana cheesecake unless you want dry, tasteless, and bland attempts at cupcakes.
Both me and my girlfriend were so disappointed with the cupcakes that we couldn’t even manage to finish half of them. Yeesh.

I went to Cupcake Craving and it's tucked away in the shopping plaza right next door to the Nike Clearance Store. I almost overlooked it. It looked a little dark and the front entrance is not at all eye catching. I think I randomly looked up and saw the sign. The sign is nice. I am a person that sticks to my favorite flavors but, I wanted to try something new. My favorites are carrot cake ? or lemon cake ?. I tried their champagne cupcake. It was pretty and tasted pretty good but, next time I will try one of my classic favorites. I'm sure whoever loves sprinkles and sweetness would fall in love with their champagne cupcake. ? It's probably a little girl's favorite and a favorite to display at parties.

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome they have cupcakes for kids
Short version: Lots of cupcake and cookie varieties. Reasonably priced. Good, fresh, moist cupcakes. I'll go again.
Longer version: While my wife visited Michael's "for just a moment" (read: At least 30 minutes), I and my two tween children visited Cupcake Craving.
The kids both got chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. There were several versions of chocolate with chocolate to choose from and my children, being rugged individualists, both chose the most basic version. (Kids. What are you going to do?) Neither of them would let me share their cupcakes, so I can only pass on their reviews: a thumbs up from my son and a "really good" from my daughter.
I got a maple bacon cupcake. I'm going to nitpick at it a bit, but it was good. I will definitely go back to try other flavors, but I probably won't order this one again. I'd expected the cupcake to be maple, but it was (or seemed to be) vanilla. It was a good cupcake, moist and not cumbly, but it wasn't maple. It had lots of bacon bits. That should be a positive, but the inside bacon was very limp and chewy and kind of flavorless. Not bad, but not great. The top was iced with a delicious maple ganache sprinkled with bacon bits. The icing was fabulous. The bacon, unlike the inside bacon, was more jerky than crispy. Good bacon flavor, just hard to eat. I can't fault them too much for this. Almost every maple bacon donut I've ever had has the same problem putting crispy bits in moist pastries. Like I said, it was good, just not what I'd hoped.
But I will go try some other flavors next time. Definitely somewhere I'll go again.
If your cravings include dry and flavorless then this place is for you! I stopped in for the first time today, I purchased 4 cupcakes. A lemon raspberry, carrot cake, vanilla rum and some sort of chocolate fudge. These cupcakes are a little pricey so you have a certain expectation when paying a pretty decent price. Honestly I wouldn’t call these a cupcake, although they look like an amazing cupcake they fall extremely short. The cake is more of a sponge texture, very dense. Extremely dry! 1st up lemon raspberry; had no lemon flavor, overly colored yellow with artificial dye, the raspberry center tasted ok. It was nothing special and overly sweet. 2nd the carrot cake, more of just a spice cake, also very dry, minimal flavor. Nothing about this cupcake tasted or smelled like carrot cake except the carrot drawn with icing. 3rd the vanilla rum, I had high hopes for this one based on the description of it. Again very spongy and dry, no flavor. This one was supposed to have a custard filling, there was a pea size amount of custard in the top of the cupcake. The almonds on top had the most flavor. 4th up and by far the worst the chocolate fudge, this one was topped with canned frosting if I had to guess Duncan Hines milk chocolate, so it at least tasted somewhat as a chocolate cupcake should. Unfortunately the cake part was as if you took a boxed cake mix and left out the eggs and oil. These cupcakes are not something myself or my family would crave, but if you are not looking for flavor or a good tasting cupcake then this place is for you!! As for myself and my family we will not be back. I hope this review helps.
