First, let me say I judge every cupcake against The chain Gigi’s cupcakes because they are my favorite. With that being said, I’d give this place a solid B. We bought a peanut butter chocolate and a vanilla vanilla. The icing was good and had the right balance of fat and sugar which is a great start on a good cupcake. It was decorated professionally and looked great. It did taste like they use butter extract which left a tiny aftertaste. The cake was dry and crumbling. We did buy 5 minutes before close but product should always be fresh. I felt like these were expensive for the size and quality. $3.75 for a cupcake the size you would make at home. Also, I had a hard time picking because of their limited favor choice. I would have bought the carrot cake flavor but it was flat and didn’t fit in the cupcake holder like it didn’t rise. Would have also tried the strawberry but it had a strawberry gelee, which I am not a fan of because it reminds me of grocery store cupcakes. My husband like the peanut butter icing but also thought his cupcake was dry. The chocolate icing on the chocolate cupcakes looked really light almost like milk chocolate. I think this place could be a five if they brought their prices down instead of charging $3.75. Georgetown Cupcake charges $3.50, but they also have better product with more flavor choices. I also think some summer flavors would be helpful. On the fence if I would try again.

Cupcake Cutie Etc. – Menu with Prices – Court Square, 109 S Ct Ave, Memphis

We end up coming here pretty often. The owners are great and very friendly and I appreciate that they let me use their bathroom. This place specializes in build-your-own cupcakes. You can mix and match any base flavor with any cream and top it with a number of fun toppings. My favorite base is the strawberry one and the pineapple one because they have little bits of their respective fruit mixed into the batter and it’s always a delight when I get a bite of one. I’ve tried a bunch of random combinations but my favorite thing to do is to ask them what they think goes well with what I’ve chosen. Sometimes it works out and sometimes I have to adjust it later but I usually leave with an awesome cupcake that is at least enjoyable, even if not my all-time favorite. They are also very accommodating here. They will add sparkles, color, and chocolate or caramel syrup for free. The sparkles are really popular with the people I have brought with me to visit. The large comes with one free topping, otherwise all toppings are .50 each. They have a rack to the side of discount cupcakes you can buy. They’re on sale because they were made the previous day. I usually check what they have there first. Oh, don’t forget to come in on your birthday for a free cupcake!

Gigi’s Cupcakes – Menu with Prices – 621 Dunlop Ln #116, Clarksville

Not that good. Me and the fiancée were in town visiting and we had a sweet tooth so we stopped here. The shop is a cute shop, as it is very clean and has an area for the kiddos opposite regular sized tables. There is also outside seating that is shared space in the plaza. The prices are pretty steep at $3+ per cupcake and cheesecake. But for a boutique cupcake shop, the price is standard. We ordered the strawberry shortcake cupcake, the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake, and the salted vanilla cheesecake. The cupcakes were okay. The strawberry shortcake had more icing than cake. It tasted good but not good enough to qualify as being a boutique cupcake because the flavor wasn’t very strong. The chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake was good and flavorful. The cheesecake was HORRIBLE. It was dry, not creamy, had no flavor, and didn’t have enough crust. It was hands down the worst cheesecake I’ve ever had. We should’ve saved the troubles and went to the grocery store because it just wasn’t worth the time, price, or disappointment.

Nana’s Tiny Cakes LLC – Menu with Prices – 9014 NE St Johns Rd #102, Vancouver

Nana’s is my go-to place for cupcakes in Vancouver. I’ve ordered over 15 dozen mini-cupcakes in the three years since finding Nana’s. I’ve had them cupcake cater my dad’s funeral since he LOVED their gluten-free cupcakes, I’ve taken them to parties, given a bunch as gifts. Everyone I’ve ever had try them, gets addicted. I’ve actually got 3 women mad at me, because they live in the area and now get cupcake cravings- so they all tell me they stop to pick one up every once in a while to get their cravings fulfilled. My personal favorite is their Key Lime, followed by the Root Beer Float, Chocolate… and normally I HATE carrot cake, but I accidentally ate one at my dad’s funeral, and loved it… so the carrot cake ones are my 4th favorite, lastly my 5th favorite is Lemon. They are dense cupcakes like some people have complained about ( Like seriously? Who complains about a dense cupcake? what do you want a twinkie cupcake sponge?)… and they are cupcakes- frosting is sugary, but its not over the top too sweet. I reading through these reviews and someone was complaining about their cupcakes because of this… did you not buy one to try it first? I always buy one to try if its a flavor I haven’t tried before. Nana’s is way way way superior to store bought cupcakes. And they offer a limited selection of cookies now and if you don’t want to get addicted, stay away from the Peanut Butter Bomb’s. OMGosh- so, so so good. The staff is always great and I enjoy stopping by now just to say hello, even if I don’t have a reason for getting cupcakes. If I could give Nana’s a rating on 1 to 5, I’d give them a 10

CupCakes & Beyond – Menu with Prices – 9540 Lee Hwy, Fairfax

I needed to satisfy my craving for sweets and went to Cupcakes and Beyond. The location was easy to find. The interior is adorable and simplistic. The cupcakes are nicely displayed on an L-Shaped countertop glass case on cake plates, and labeled. In addition to cupcakes, wrapped cookies, coffee, and juices are offered. A menu is posted with all the cupcake flavors offered, which I was happy about because the flavors on display weren’t what I wanted. However, vanilla bean and a strawberry cupcake were offered but only the vanilla bean was available. I ordered two vanilla bean cupcakes The person assisting me, went to the back of the store and prepared the cupcakes, and the person assisting me went to the back of the store to prepare them. The cake was moist and the frosting was light; the flavor was good. The cupcakes cost $3.00 each which more than what I wanted to pay but I wanted to show support for the business, as well as satisfy my sweet-tooth. I highly recommend this establishment to others.

Couture Cakes By Nika – Menu with Prices – 10373 Warwick Blvd, Newport News

This is the best bakery to grace the Earth! (I still don’t understand why people would go anywhere else in Newport News) Maple Bacon Cupcakes Ok my review is done. LOL! Ive grown up around amazing bakeries, I even grew up with Amish and Mennonite bake businesses. Living in Va Beach, I am near some fine bakeries but still only go to one…..25 minutes away and across a bridge tunnel and that is this fine shop by Nika. Many places will make cupcakes or cakes and call it something due to the frosting having that flavor. But Nika goes above and beyond making both the frosting and cake go with the intended flavor. Where a run of the mill business will have a Key Lime cupcake with only the frosting adhering to the flavor and the cake being a generic white cake; Nika will have a key lime frosting and cake with lime or graham crumble. Want something unique? Try her Lavender cupcake. Want to die by chocolate, get the Chocolate Overload with some actual chocolate bar on top. Have a cheat day with the amazing Peanut Butter fudge. Or want the recipe Oreo is seeking, have her cookies and cream cake……Hell, have them all there isn’t one you’d go wrong with. The cupcakes are the tip of the iceberg. She is an artist, bakes cakes, cookies and anything else…… Finally, we had her do our wedding. My god the almond cake melted in your mouth. The crowd went gaga over her cake and were more than happy to take some cupcakes home. And after a year of being frozen until our anniversary it was still an amazing bite. If you want to be the toast of your party….just get 2 dozen different cupcakes and you’ll be welcomed back! MAPLE BACON CUPCAKE!!!!!!!!

Smallcakes Cupcakery and Creamery Menu with Prices 1506 Mt Vernon Ave, Alexandria

I bought a couple of cupcakes the other day from Smallcakes. I have actually been trying to visit since they opened but their hours are, frankly, terrible. I think it’s best to sum up the positives and negatives in a list. Positives: +Best cupcakes I have had in a long time! I really enjoyed the chocolate cream more (it’s like a 930 club cupcake or you could say, one of those Hostess ones with cream in the middle and thick chocolate icing) than the cookies and cream but both were perfectly cakey (not dry at all), very chocolatey for the cake portions, and sized nicely. + icing in general: the icing is my favorite part and I LOVED this icing. Not overly sweet but still quite rich. The chocolate icing was thicker and creamier while the cookies and cream was slightly more fluffy but well-flavored definitely with a vanilla base but hints of oreo. +Pricing: Each cupcake was slightly over $4 which I think is reasonable considering their size. I only ate 1/2 of one at each sitting because they are large and rich. I think there is a military discount because I was asked if I was military. Negatives: – Hours: how can you be closed on Sunday?! They are missing out on so much potential business given the amount of people that congregate in Pentagon Row on Sundays. Also, how can you close at 8pm on weekdays and 9pm on weekend nights?! Again, so much business lost! I can tell you too they definitely have closed before 9pm because when hubby and I tried to go there are 8:45pm one Friday night, the door was locked and the register person was counting the money. -Chocolate cream cupcake had less than a dollop of cream inside. If you advertise there is cream, it should be more than a tiny dot. Neutral: *The register person was not unfriendly but not friendly either. *I came at 7:30pm on a weeknight and the chocolate flavors (cake and icing both) were limited. They offer ice cream and coffee too. I will definitely return for cupcakes in the future and possibly for ice cream since there isn’t anywhere else for that in Pentagon Row. I just wish they would revise their hours to be open on Sunday and be more flexible with their closing time. Otherwise, I’m a fan of Smallcakes!

Cake Collection Boutique – Menu with Prices – 7001 St Andrews Rd A14, Columbia

This place is amazing!!! I needed cupcakes for a baby shower that I was throwing on a Monday, and unbeknownst to me, just about every bakery in the area is closed on a Monday. I was so lucky to stumble across this adorable place. The cupcakes were beautiful and absolutely delicious. We got a variety of flavors (cookies and cream, chocolate peanut butter, red velvet, tropical carrot, triple chocolate and red velvet with Nutella icing). Everyone agreed that they were HANDS DOWN the best cupcakes theyâ??d ever eaten. The cake was moist and the icing was perfectly sweet, flavorful and delicious. They also have absolutely amazing customer service. I certainly know where I will be getting cake/cupcakes/cake pops from in the future! Highly recommend!

Cupcake Junkie Menu with Prices 12240 Coursey Blvd, Baton Rouge

If you like cupcakes, even if you don’t, you’re going to be HOOKED on this! The first time I ever tried CJ was at work when my boss brought in some treats for us. He bought everyone a Mardi Gras cupcake, I don’t think it was king cake however. The cupcakes are such a fair size that it’s worth every penny. I bit into the cupcake and my life was seriously changed. I am nooottttttt a fan of icing but this icing was like sheer magic. It started off sweet and then there was this tang that I couldn’t pin point, and almost don’t want to because it would keep this magic alive. On top of that, the owner is such a sweet girl and works so hard. If you haven’t seen her cake for events on her instagram, again YOU NEED TO! Support small business, and… treat yo’self!!

Gimme Some Sugar – Menu with Prices – 137 King St #101, St. Augustine

THIS PLACE! I love the name, the logo, the cupcakes! We chatted up the owner Kim- who’s dedication and passion for her shop simply shine through! I was guessing cakes in the case- pretty thoroughly I might add. I ended up with the white-chocolate raspberry cupcake & hubby tried the limited time offer- German chocolate cupcake. We both were in cake and icing bliss. Gimme some sugar is the best cupcake I’ve had in a while! Try them out! And enjoy the photography art throughout the cupcake gallery!

K Squared Cupcakes – Menu with Prices – 200 N Battlefield Blvd, Chesapeake

This place is hands down has the best cupcakes I have ever had! I’ve tried a variety of cupcakes in the area and I have to say that these are by far the absolute best!!! What I like most about this place is that they are able to offer a variety of cupcake flavors, while still getting each flavor SPOT ON! The carrot cake taste like carrot cake, the red velvet, like red velvet, the strawberry, lemonade like strawberry lemonade. In addition to these classic flavors they have a variety of innovative flavors that are also spot on that I enjoy. I’m not big on chocolate they have one cupcake featuring the flavor that is actually one of my favorites. I’m a person that prefers more savory flavors, but this place definitely brings out my inner sweet tooth! The facility seems to be very clean. The service is great!!! It appears to be a family owned business and the owner and other staff are always very warm and friendly, and very accommodating. As expected, because of just how good these cupcakes are they frequently sell out of certain flavors. However, they always seem to be prepared and have extra cupcakes available and will readily put the correct frosting on top to complete your order. Overall this place is AMAZING!!!!! But what puts the icing on top of the cupcake lol is that they always are professional and deliver. I have placed large special orders with them for events and they always are able to get me exactly what I need and exceed my expectations. I’m happy knowing I can rely on them. I will continue to frequent the location to satisfy my sweet tooth, and for special order for special occasions.

Cakes ‘n Things – Menu with Prices – 1 Sunny Dr, Harrisburg

Let me start out by saying, I love cupcakes. I’ve been to almost every bakery in and around central PA. I also make it a point to visit any bakeries that are near any of my vacation destinations throughout the US. Heather’s Cupcakes has the best cupcakes I have EVER eaten. I decided to stop there today because I noticed their storefront while I was driving to work one day. I looked them up online and it turns out they just opened in August. My fiancé and I shared the vanilla, double chocolate, snickers, and chocolate PB cupcake. Usually when I try a new cupcake/dessert place, I always have one favorite – but all of the cupcakes we tried today were so good, I can’t pick one that was better than the other. They were all fantastic. If you love cupcakes, I highly recommend this place!

Sweetness Desserts – Menu with Prices – 2034 N Valley Mills Dr, Waco

What a lovely shop! The ladies are very nice, too. We live several hours away, but when in town, we eat at a restaurant nearby. The sign and front windows drew me in, but the cupcakes will have us return every time we visit Waco! The shop is absolutely charming, the dessert displays are enticing, and the free samples are a wonderful way to “preview” the cupcake flavors. One sample of strawberry cupcake and I was hooked!!!! All the desserts are beautiful, but the strawberry cupcake is made in beautiful colors, and the icing, made with real berries, is incredible. It even has some sparkle!!! The cookies looked delicious, and all the desserts were artfully made. A sample of the fudge cupcake was very good, but their strawberry (one) is the best cupcake I have ever eaten!!!!
