Sorry to say that, a 6" cake that we purchased recently (Mar 2024), from The Cupcake Shoppe at 2587 Yonge St was totally underwhelming. We initially stopped in to TCS to satisfy a drive-by cupcake craving as the shop was very inviting inside and out and there was available parking in front. Staff were also friendly. However, the cupcakes didn't impress. But, as I was purchasing them I noticed a stunning rose decorated cake on display, made a short inquiry and placed an order for the same but in lemon flavoured yellow. Later, by phone when confirming the order I addressed numerous google review concerns re dryness, cake texture etc with a staff member and was told that this was usually due to customers storing them in the fridge which, we didn't. In any case the pink rose cake was so spectacular looking I placed the order a couple of days later anyway. Sadly, we were disappointed. The dryness that many reviews speak of is definitely relevant. The overall flavour is also lacking. Won't be returning.

Been coming here for years (like a decade) and it feels like the quality is declining, while the price keeps going up. The cupcakes used to be super high quality and had a super moist, fluffy, medium crumb, with not too sweet icing that was flavourful and appeared to use actual fruit. The last few times I’ve been over the past few years, the cupcakes are overly sweet, with a dry fine crumb, and sweet, flavourless, almost gritty icing. I don’t know if the ingredients or recipe have changed but it’s been a let down every time.

We've been eating their cupcakes since we were teens! And now my sister has had her baby shower cake and cupcakes from the shoppe and her daughtet's first birthday cake and cupcakes! Always the very best. The customer service too is as pretty and delicious as their products! Special shout to Sam.

I got a birthday cake here and it was mediocre. I personally loved the design, the atmosphere, and the service that was provided! The cake itself, maybe it’s the choice I had, just tasted average.
I LOVE this place!! The BEST cupcakes EVER!! The buttercreams are my favorites - not too sweet, just smooth and delicious!! I call the owner, "The Cupcake Lady" - and she never forgets me!! It's super to have a first-rate product, and an owner - and servers! - that treat you like you're Number 1 - just like their treats!! Try them!

We were able to place a last minute order for a work baby shower. Cupcakes were delicious and and most importantly nut free as we were dealing with a serious food allergy. Highly recommend!
