First of all, if you want to be able to even buy a cupcake, make sure to go early in the day, because even if they run out SEVERAL hours before closing - they will not be baking any more. Which is lame in my opinion.Second, the cupcakes themselves are OK. My recommendation is to scrape off 80% of the frosting because it’s just too much. The frosting to cake ratio is completely off. You’ll end up with a mouthful of super sweet goop if you don’t. But the frosting is pretty good. The cake part itself is too light for my taste. Very airy and crumbly which is why the frosting is an issue. And the fact that each cupcake is $5 each is ridiculous. And the mini cupcakes, which are exactly half the price as the regular cupcakes at $2.50? Don’t bother. You can eat them in one singular bite.All in all, I may or may not come back.

To be honest I don't know how to APPROPRIATELY describe these joints. Pricy but worth it.

As a parent of two students at School of the Arts I want to tell you how much I appreciate you for giving the students cupcakes on Fridays for showing homework. I'm sorry that you've had to put a stop to it due to some students taking advantage of your kindness. Thanks for your generosity.

Great selection of cupcakes for about $5.00 each. They also have minis for about $2.50. They also sell candles for those in a pinch. We picked up a vanilla, carrot cake, pumpkin spice, and lemon. Loved the lemon and carrot cake. The pumpkin spice lacked flavor and the vanilla was sweet but bland compared to the others. Would recommend and return for the carrot cake alone.

The best gourmet cupcakes in town! Super cute cupcake shop that I've been frequenting since 2012 for special occasions and the new cupcake flavors that they debut monthly The Pecan Turtle and Lemon are some of my faves

Unbelievable icing. Intense flavour hard to describe but possibly the best I've ever tasted. The cakes themselves were so moist and also flavourful. Well done!

A dessert staple in the area. If you're on a diet and just want a small, sweet treat, go for the mini cupcakes!

The raspberry lemonade cupcake was so good! But $5 for a regular-sized cupcake is ridiculous. Probably won't be back, sadly

Sometimes I think fancy desserts like these are wasted on me since I am a plain eater. I prefer vanilla cake with a thin layer of frosting. But then I'm reminded that cupcakes can be for everyone! This darling little shop sticks with one thing rather than trying to do too much. I appreciate that. Each cupcake is a tiny work of art-and you're paying for that beauty. Sure, the flavor is good, but it's the artisan design that warrants the fat bill. It may not be a daily indulgence, but a stop to celebrate special occasions.

The staff here is friendly and the storefront is lovely. The offerings sound good, but I have had a few different cupcakes here over the years and they are all pretty flavorless. Get a coconut cupcake and it's mostly sort of dry and blandly sweet and not like coconut. None of the options I have tried are very flavorful.
Omfg what's better than divine. These cupcakes are more magical than just cake. The women who work there are very sweet. I am dreaming about returning and eventually trying every cupcake. I had the strawberry cheesecake and I literally can't stop talking about how great it was

Had a few of these at work and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and delicious the cupcakes tasted. I loved the strawberry cheesecake one- the bottom even had a buttery crust. The consistency of the cupcake was soft and springy, just melt in your mouth good!
