Well, the cupcakes for the event were certainly tasty but despite spending extra on special decorations and going over them via email with the owner, we got the regular decorations (which is pretty frustrating as this was my wedding). So, the store is good, but maybe don't request anything special.

These are my new favorite cupcakes. They were so good!! I'll be back for sure. We got carrot, lemon and red velvet and liked them all.

I ordered 100 cupcakes for my October wedding in Red Velvet, Hot Cocoa, Chocolate Lovers, and Chocolate Mint. The cupcakes were delectable and very photogenic, BUT there was one major problem with my order that was extremely disappointing. I ordered a certain number of my Chocolate Mint cupcakes to be gluten free, and this was written on my invoice. I even talked to them on the phone to make sure they'd mark these GF cupcakes CLEARLY, as I would not be the one picking them up on the day of the wedding. I was assured they would be marked. Sadly...the gluten free cupcakes were not marked at all, if they even existed. There was no indication or specialty coloring or marking to tell which ones they were, so my friends with celiac disease didn't get to have any cupcakes. This was really frustrating, given that I had specifically asked about this when placing my order and paying my bill. Bummer!!

I was in the neighborhood and saw this cupcake store, checked on yelp to see if it had good reviews and it did! I decided to pop in and use the excuse that it's my bf's birthday week to buy some cupcakes. I got the red velvet, chocolate marshmallow with coconut on top, the chocolate with cream cheese frosting, and pumpkin. All of them were delicious! The cupcakes were perfectly moist. The pumpkin had a great gram cracker crust at the bottom with pumpkin inside. The only cons were that the cream cheese frostings were too sweet and the cupcakes were slightly pricier. I would definitely get the pumpkin cupcake again. It had the most depth in terms of flavors and textures. I wouldn't get the red velvet even though red velvet is my favorite flavor usually just because it's too overly sweet (and my sweet tolerance is pretty high).

So cute and the staff is so friendly! Hubby and I were in the area so we decided to stop by to pick up a few treats. We got four cupcakes - apricot cheesecake, cookies and cream, red velvet, and burnt almond. I really loved the apricot cheesecake. It even has a graham cracker crust on the bottom! Love the tartness of the apricot with the frosting. All the flavors and textures really came together.

Cute store tucked away in the sprouts shopping center, not so busy on a Monday with a plentiful amount to choose from! Not ONLY do they sell Marianne's ice cream...but their cupcakes are bomb.com too! Too bad I didn't get a pic in, I gobbled the goodness up hella fast. I tried their burnt almond (not as good as Peter's but the cream in the center made up for that), day old mint choco (was like an Andes mint in my mouth mmm), and the red velvet (moist with a fairly good smooth buttercream). Give it a try, I mean, it's good quality cupcakes....how the hell can you go wrong!

This place is so delicious. My fiance and I go here all the time. Everybody is so nice here. He usually has ice cream and it's really fresh and delicious! The best flavor is heaven. I'll usually have a cupcake. My favorite is strawberry peanut butter and jelly. Soo good! The staff is extremely nice as well. We always go later so Alexis is usually there. She's very nice and always gives great suggestions! If you want a cute cupcake place with great people you should come here!

My husband and I really enjoy these cupcakes. They are always super moist and the frosting is not overly sweet like other places. It's right up the street from our house so it's a nice place to have close by that we can stop in and get a quick little treat from time to time. My favorite is the Chocolate Charm and my husbands is the Red Velvet. I do wish they would change up their flavors more often but overall the ones that I've tried are always great.

I absolutely love these cupcakes. I've tried the vegan, gluten free, and regular kinds and they are all amazing. We ordered 150 of these for our wedding, four of the gluten free flavors (salted caramel, lemon love, coconut, and chocolate), vegan vanilla, and vegan chocolate. Our guests absolutely raved about the cupcakes, and didn't believe us when we said they were gluten free. They even made us adorable jump cupcakes with wedding rings on them as an alternative for a cutting cake! Everything was ready early on the day of our wedding too, which was great. I loved the little decorations on each cupcake too - the mini candy lemon slices, peanut butter cups, caramel squares, and coconut flakes. Made it super easy to distinguish the flavors. My personal favorite is definitely the salted caramel or the lemon, but all of the flavors are tasty. The gluten free cupcakes in particular are delicious. Most gluten free baked goods are pretty dry, crumbly, and dense but these are super moist and airy.
Don't know how my man found these, but I'm so glad he did!!!! He surprised with some cupcakes, and they all look too pretty to eat but that didn't stop me. I went in for the carrot cake first, and OH MY!!!! The cake is so moist and the frosting is so light and not too sweet. Kara's cupcakes doesn't even come close to Cutesy Cupcakes at all!!! My new favorite!! Thanks my love!

I was craving cupcakes from my favorite bakery, Icing on the Cake, in Los Gatos. I didn't want to drive all the way over there so I decided to try Cutesy Cupcake that was a bit closer to my home. I shared 3 cupcakes with my bf: -chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting -chocolate cake with buttercream frosting -burnt almond The chocolate cake was moist but the cocoa they use doesn't taste very good. I wouldn't order a chocolate cupcake from them again. The cream cheese frosting was a bit heavy, I prefer a lighter texture. It wasn't overly sweet so that wasn't bad. The buttercream frosting was basic. Nothing stood out about it, good or bad. The burnt almond was the best of the 3. We both love almond flavored baked goods. I'd say the only disappointing thing about that cupcake was that they only put a teeny-tiny drop of pastry cream at the top of the cupcake underneath all that buttercream. It was so little that I honestly thought the baker forgot to put it in. Would I go back? No. I'll make the trek to Icing on the Cake, they never disappoint.

I just want to update this because it's been a while. I find the customer service and quality of cupcakes still superb here. The employees here always have a smile and are very helpful and friendly. I even have out-of-town friends and family wanting to stop in to take cupcakes to-go. They've increased their vegan selections, as well I've tried the day-old cupcakes here, and have not noticed any difference in quality. However, I just found out that on Tuesdays, they have discounted TWO-day old cupcakes! These are a real bargain. As always, quality was not compromised, even on the two-day olds.

We were looking for a good cupcake place in the area and decided to try it based upon their reviews. We were not disappointed. I'm big on customer service and, while there weren't that many people there when I went in, the young lady who greeted me was very polite. It was Valentine's Day, so I decided to purchase a half dozen cupcakes for my husband and son. As I picked each cupcake, she placed them on top of the display case so that I could get a better look at what I was buying before she packed them up. The cupcakes were moist and not too sweet. We liked them so much that I went back and got them some more recently. The apricot and cherry cheesecake cupcakes are my husband's new favorites. I like the chocolate lover's, my son like's the confetti. They have a great selection of cupcakes that seem to change daily and also offer vegan cupcakes.

Ordered a few dozen 48 hours in advance and picked up a few extra while we were there. Their website describes all the different cupcakes including vegan and gluten free options. Pickup was super easy and the cupcakes were a big hit. Because well, who doesn't like a little sugar?
