CUPCAKIN BAKE SHOP REVIEWS

Ordered these cupcakes for my office, experience was very smooth and the cupcakes were a huge hit. Thank you so much to the team.

These cupcakes are 10 out of ten HIGHLY recommend. Moist with terrific icing my favorite is salted vanilla caramel both versions and the chocolate one that has that hostess twinkle look except way better. I live in los angeles and I will be making this a go to when up here.

These are definitely the best Mini cupcakes I’ve had in my life. We ordered them for an event at our Yoga Studio. I really appreciated that we could just order a mixed dozen that had mostly their signature “sinful“ cupcakes, with a few gluten-free and vegan options in there too. It made ordering a lot easier. Everybody just loved them so much. We will definitely be back.

U :DESSERT STORY REVIEWS

Mango Bingsu was great Definitely coming back to try cheesecakes.

Overall a pretty good dessert place! A bit pricey but pretty worth its price.

Great dessert place. Had the cake sampler and it was delicious. Took an extra slice of pandan coconut cake home.

LOVE AT FIRST BITE BAKERY REVIEWS

Obsessed with these cupcakes! I wish they were open longer so us 9-5ers could actually buy the cupcakes.

Best chocolate cake ever! It was perfectly decorated. Everyone loved was impressed. But the perfect decoration was nothing compared to the outstanding taste and texture. People wanted 2d’s and some of us had a 3d piece. That’s how good it was.

We love these cup cakes, however there are smaller than before. We know this place for more than 8 years, and always fresh and delicious.
