These were good, but I accidentally smelled them before taking a bite. They don't smell appetizing. But the flavor was good. It's a cute little place. We would come back here if we were in the area again. I'm glad they had a gluten-free option.

Holy cow! These are AMAZING!!! The frosting is the perfect amount of sweetness and cake is so moist. We got a variety of the April Fools cupcakes, plus the two wheat free flavors of the week.

Super nifty, had wanted to go for ages and got to experience the April Fool's selection. "Cheese Burger" cupcake looked and was so much fun.

Rude staff/owner. Small shop like she size of a small garage. Cupcakes not good, but look cool.Picked up for some ladies at shop that helped me out. Kind of felt bad when I left.

I have followed this bakery for a few years and finally made a plan to visit! I absolutely recommend texting and reserving your order because she does sell out fast! The interior is small but they use the space well, you do not feel cramped, and the wall papers are perfection. You'd probably think it was your wife's She Shed if you didn't know any better!They have many flavors of cupcakes- they update their Facebook page and website with the weekly flavors which includes ingredients and PICTURES! This week it was Girl Scout themed. The gal who helped us was so sweet and helpful. It is a little hard to find pricing information. When you find a cupcake shop you automatically think sweet - We were completely impressed with the balance in each flavor. Out of the 4 flavors we had, only 1 was a little sweeter.They are presented beautifully and the cakes are perfectly fluffy - not too dry, not too moist. They also offer Pupcakes for fur babies which our girls and even the cat loved! If you haven't stopped in yet, you are missing out!Pictured -- Top Row; Peanut Butter Explosion, Death by Chocolate, Thin Mint Ice Cream Sundae.

Amazing, I mean really amazing cupcakes! I love the variety and how beautiful they are and the fact that you can get cupcakes for your pets puts it over the top! In my life I never thought I would purchase a cupcake for my dog! The staff is always friendly and very helpful! A must if you want a sweet treat!!!

Hella good and hella expensive. If you can afford the treat, I would highly recommend this place. My old boss would bring these in to thank us and it was always amazing.

No one can beat the flavor variety here! We tried the banana pudding, death by chocolate, beer butter and tres leches. All the bad reviews unfortunately carry some truth. Death by Chocolate - the buttercream is heavy, it taste pure sugar and not good quality fluffy butter and u wish it actually had some flavor. The cupcake batter is dry. I wish it would be more crumbly. Banana Pudding - really good, the torched merengue cover was done really well! The cupcake itself could've been a bit more moist but for this topping it was a big problem. Tres Leches - the whipped topping was nice and delicate, but the batter was so dry and for the authentic tres leches, it lacked the tres leches soak mainly the coconut milk flavor. Butter Beer - tasted great, the frosting was good but again just wish that was lighter. Service was great and ordering very easy. Cupcakes were priced right, and despite of some of the misses on the batter and buttercream frosting, I would round this review to a 4-star since it was the most convenient way to order and the creativity and beauty of these cupcakes.

If you haven't tried The Salted Cupcake before, they have a new weekly menu starting on Tuesday and runs until Sunday. Five unique creations each week along with a set of recurring favorites (including Pupcakes!). They get reallyyyyy creative with some of these cupcakes. I've had them twice before and loved them so much. They're very light, delicate cakes that don't sit heavy in your stomach. Let me know which one sounds the best to you. Death by chocolate - The naming on this one is pretty on point. If you're a chocolate lover, get this ASAP. It's the perfect balance of richness, sweetness, and cocoa flavor. It reminds me of the classic Hershey's chocolate cake recipe if you're familiar with that. Chocolate frosting was delicious and had a very mild cocoa flavor. Ganache filling was heaven. And the flourless brownie on top was much better than a cherry. It was dense but crumbly and delicate at the same time, 8/10. White chocolate raspberry - I'm a massive raspberry fan soooo... this one was my favorite. The raspberry buttercream is to die for. It's not very heavy on the raspberry flavoring which works really well with the light vanilla bean cake. The raspberry filling was thick and sweet which added a great contrast to the cake and buttercream. The white chocolate snowflake garnish was a beautiful touch. It's really simple but absolutely delicious. Definitely more sweet and less rich than the other two cupcakes, 9/10. Salted cupcake - The chocolate cake was moist, light, and fluffy, same as the Death By Chocolate. The caramel sauce on top was absolutely delicious (surprise surprise it tasted like caramel). The peanut butter buttercream frosting was a bit strange to me. The texture was perfect - melt in your mouth and had a good airy/light texture. It tasted like peanut butter for sure. But it had this strange artificial kind of taste to it. Funny enough it reminds me of this chocolate peanut butter protein powder I just got, that's the kind of weird taste I'm talking about. Still great though, 7/10.

We have been fans for awhile now and ordered The Salted Cupcake for our wedding. We ordered 200 cupcakes, and we have about FOUR left over at the end of the night!? Everyone LOVED the cupcakes and raved about them. We chose around 6 different flavors and they were all hits. They were so easy to work with and did a great job. We are so glad we went with them, and can't wait to enjoy our anniversary cupcakes?

I had heard the cupcakes were amazing so we called for a gender reveal party. Great cupcakes with baby boy blue in the middle. Will return for more.

Attended a wedding and had the cookie dough cupcake. The best cupcake I ever had! We don't live in the area, but I will definitely stop in next time I'm in the area.
