They always have the best cupcakes. The store is always impeccably clean. And the people working act like they live their jobs, as they are always so happy/cheerful. The photo attached is not a mistake. It looks like Orange Chicken, but is actually their April Fools offering. Believe it or not, that is all cake and icing and sauce. They do a great job all the time. I also found the "hamburger and fries" cupcake the did a couple of years ago for July 4. They're always doing fun stuff like this.
Still the best cupcakes around. Thank you for keeping your quality to an outstanding level. It's a home run every visit.

Watch the counter service ladies touch her face and her hair then reached in to grab the cupcakes with her bare hands. No handwriting, no glove, and not even a tissue paper. Absolutely disgusting and should be a health code violation. Wont be back.

Everytime I come in all of the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, I never have to wait to be greeted even if there is a line of customers getting cupcakes. The cupcakes are always delicious, I've never had a bad experience.

1 Pumpkin and 1 Peanut Butter Cup, both were amazing

Quaint, friendly, and delicious! If you are lucky enough to show up when they have their chocolate mint cupcakes, definitely try them. I tried the chocolate mint, coconut, strawberry, and confetti. All were great. The icing is flavorful, but not too sweet. The cake is moist and delicious. Coconut was light on the coconut. Strawberry had strawberry cake. Confetti was real basic, if you want something on the plain side. The Chocolate Mint was by far the best. I heard about the place in a ST Louis travel magazine. I was heading to Edwardsville anyway. Nice community. This shop is everything you want Edwardsville to be.

Clean facility. Friendly staff. And most importantly, DELICIOUS cupcakes! We tried the Chocolate Mint, Strawberry, Coconut, and Confetti. All were fantastic. The icing was flavorful, but not too sweet. The cake was very moist. The Confetti was fairly plain, if you're looking for something basic. The Strawberry was made with strawberry cake. The Coconut was light on the coconut. The Chocolate Mint was definitely the best. Just the right balance of flavors. A+++ We found out about this place in a ST Louis Travel magazine. I spent summers with my dad in Edwardsville growing up and was already planning on revisiting the old neighborhood. This place is everything you want and expect Edwardsville to be. Great experience.

The Cup has cupcakes like no other bakery. I call them gourmet cupcakes. These are not your average cupcakes. They are large, moist, and delicious. There are various flavors or specialties. My absolute favorite is Gold Rush.

We love the Cup! October is my favorite month, because the Mummy and Monster are the BEST cupcakes! Now to just convince them to make a Nutella cupcake... :)

Great cupcakes and some of the best icing in the world. Love to give the cupcakes out as gifts. Only real problem is the shop hours. They tend to open late which is unusual for a bakery. Check the hours before you stop by.
very friendly person waited on me and i tried 5 different cupcakes which were all scrumptious!

These were worth the money until they got greedy and started skimping on the frosting I mean these are not cheap, but to cut on product all the while expanding the store size is like giving the middle finger and the last couple months the cake on the cup cake hasn’t always been fresh either, maybe frozen ??♂️ I don’t know but the quality is not there like when they first opened. And when they run a special of the month it’s unacceptable not to have them on hand?Now there is “Nothing bunt cake” up the road and they are new but fresh is a guarantee ?. I hope the cup gets their act back together because the next time will be the last for me if the frosting is skimpy then they can keep it and I will gladly pay for better down the road.

This place is a sweet spot in my heart. Especially the week before father's day!! The banana cream cupcakes are SO amazing.

Love these and appreciate that there is a vegan option available. Just wish there were more vegan varieties.

The vegan cupcakes fall apart after you bite into them, rather impossible to eat the normal way of eating a cupcake and they only have one kind of vegan cupcake.
