Hands down the BEST cupcake I've ever had. I've had buttercream frosting and even make it myself, but this buttercream is different and oh so delicious!! Did I mention the cake is good too?!

The Salted Caramel cupcake (not pictured here) was heavenly!
Our first time here and we will definitely be back!

Awful cupcakes, very little cake and that was dry. They look beautiful but beware.

This is the coolest idea for a cupcake joint. You walk in and pick up your cupcakes, pay online, and enjoy them on your walk around downtown. I enjoyed the two gluten-free flavors that they offered. Delicious, though definitely on the sweet side. ❤️

This shop is top of the line. Friendly staff who shared the story of the store as well as explaining each flavor. Very soft and light cupcakes. Some were layered with fruits, purees etc. The icing is light and just enough sweetness. We tried almost all their currents flavors. The display is simple and well marked.

Purchased a cupcake yesterday. As I was eating I found mold in the middle. At first, I thought it was randomly a piece of blue cheese. Since that was the flavor I was getting, but then, as I looked closer, I realized it was mold growing on something in the cupcake.
—I really appreciate the additional comment/ follow up from the owner. I can say that the cupcake was delicious up until that point. 😆. I hope you find a solution!

Idk, I used to live here years ago and visit quite often. I seem to remember a crumb that was moist and frosting that while distinct, wasn't overly sweet. My family loves cream cheese frosting. There wasn't a single cupcake with traditional cream cheese, which was disappointing. I purchased an assortment of 18 cupcakes at $5/ea, and none of them lived up to the hype of the description. Its a self service bakery, so maybe the cupcakes that I chose hadn't been freshly rotated, idk, but they were each dry, some tasted nothing like their description, and the frosting mostly buttercream was cloyingly sweet, lacked dimension and just not enjoyable or palatable experience. I purchased for the sitting up at my aunts house, for my uncle's passing. No one was impressed. Also, be careful. Nothings labeled so you are unable to advise people of what they're actually eating. I couldn't remember each flavor, so it was a go at it at your own risk type of thing. Hard pass, which is kind of sad. Sometimes if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I guess this business model works for them, but I wonder if it's to the detriment of the actual quality? Eh... idk, but I do feel like I wasted money on very expensive cupcakes that just didnt live up to my memory of what this place used to be.
My daughter chose a cookies and cream cupcake and as she was eating it (maybe 10 minures after purchase) we found mold in the center. My child is allergic to mold, so this could've been very bad if I hadn't caught it before she ate it. I had planned to go purchase more cupcakes to take home, but I'll pass. I'd also like a refund. FYI, tried calling the number and did not get an option to leave a message. Also, tried FB and got a message saying you won't respond there. So, before you blast me, as you did other people who complained of MOLD, don't try that with me, I even asked another local business if they knew how to contact you. You may want to try actually speaking to customers and not avoiding them.

What a cute shop! Love that it’s on the honors system. A dozen fun cupcake options available. The chocolate frosting was awesome. By comparison, the cake portion was a little dry. Overall a fun spot to try when you’re in downtown Wilmington.

My husband and I have been to Wilmington twice and make sure to grab several cupcakes during our visit! They are delicious and not too heavy which we love! Wish we had cupcakes like these in Charleston! Keep up the good work!

Bought some cupcakes last night (6/4/25) for my wife’s bday. Our first time trying and we were so excited. We got home and decided to save our treats so we put them in the refrigerator. Well today I get home from work and decided to have a sweet tray for a snack. I start eating a cupcake and notice an odd taste from the filling. I look down a find mold. Needless to say we will not be going back.

Beautiful place; my wife was looking for anniversary cake for us to eat. We picked 4 delicious cupcakes from this store. Thank you for honoring the Lord Jesus Christ by playing Christian music. The checkout process with the QR code was streamlined. God bless you and your business!

I thought the experience was so cute and unique! Lovely experience! Wish the cake part of the cupcakes was a tad larger and that there were different icing types to choose from, not personally a fan of buttercream. But otherwise some of the best tasting cupcakes! Thank you for helping our experience in Wilmington be great this weekend 🫶🏽
