mmm cupcakes. yah they make em here. and they make em GOOD. in my mind there is a formula composed of if the bakery charges too much/too little and the cupcake is too big/too small and the quality is disgusting/delicious. ok so alyssa;s cupcakes were reasonable priced, well sized and delicious. so the formula works out that THIS PLACE ROCKS. sure, it is totally off the beaten path if you dont live in wallingford. but i think its worth going a little out of your way for reasonably priced well sized deliciousness. and the staff was friendly, so that helps! read more

See all

I LOVE this place. The owner (Alyssa) was so nice and helpful. She took all of my suggestions as well as collaborated with her own ideas (asking me first before doing anything with the cake). She is enthusiastic and it's clear by the outcome that she really puts heart into all of her work. Not to mention the prices are amazing low for such high quality work Like like like read more

My favorite cupcake place in the area, whenever I need cupcakes I always go here! She even has cake pops some times! The first time I ever went here was during shark week and she had the cutest cupcakes made with little shark fins!! The only downfall is that whenever I go in there aren't many cupcakes left. Which means she's doing a killer business but I wish they had more! read more

I don't write reviews very often, and when I do they are usually to warn others but I feel COMPELLED to write a GLEAMING recommendation for Alyssa and her team. First of all, I probably wasn't the easiest customer to deal with. I wasn't clear with much of anything: my pick up/delivery dates, what exactly I wanted (the look, flavors, size) but Alyssa went out of her way to make sure she provided me with a stellar product, and out of this world it was. The cake was a Casino Themed birthday cake and everything about it was INCREDIBLE. It was highly detailed, with multiple colors and layers and the details were intricately placed. Every person at the party (about 80 guests) commented on how beautiful the cake looked and made jokes about how they didn't want to cut it. It's funny how everyone kind of expected, this cake is for the looks not for the cake inside, but they were absolutely wrong. Everyone was BLOWN AWAY with the cake inside as well. I cant tell you how many times I heard the phrase, "I think this is the best cake I've ever eaten." It was moist but fluffy and the flavors, forget about it! We had funfetti and the reece's pieces flavor inside with buttercream frosting.......TO DIE FOR. I live in Stamford, CT and went out of my way to Wallingford, CT for this cake. WORTH EVERY SECOND. Thank you Alyssa and your team!!! read more

Wonderful new addition to Wallingford. My husband has been there twice in 3 days, enough said? I found the cupcakes to be moist, flavorful and absolutely delicious!!! Loved the buttercream frosting as well as the cream cheese frosting, can't wait to try their cakes. I have been to Georgetown Cupcake in Washington D.C., Magnolia Bakery in NY, and a specialty cupcake bakery in Newport RI, name not worth remembering and thought that Ayssa's were so much better!!!! So happy they are open in Wallingford! read more

Alyssa's cupcakes & cakes rock! I ordered a Pokémon cake for my son's 7th birthday. She provided excellent customer service & was so accommodating! I usually go to Sugar's Bakery but now I don't have to travel so far for great treats! I love that she has mini cupcakes and her walnut scones are delicious (light & flaky, just how I like it). read more

We have used Alyssa for our children's last 5 birthdays. Not only are her cake's beautiful but they are delicious as well! She is also extremely easy to work with and is excellent at communicating with her customers. Highly recommend! read more

Cute little bakery in the center of Wallingford. I love sweets, so it was hard to just pass by without stopping. I opted for one cupcake to bring home and share with my husband. It was blueberry coconut. I was pretty good. I had to take away one star as the frosting is super sweet. I mean really over-the-top sweet. Otherwise, the cupcake was tasty. I'll be back to try the PB chocolate cupcake! read more

Cute bakery but the frosting is WAY too sweet and more often than not cakes are dry and crumbly. For the price I'd much rather take a drive over to Sugar Bakery for a consistently good cake/cupcake. read more

Great experience! Alyssa and team made an amazing and unique geode cake for my best friend's bridal shower. It was amazing looking and tasted SO GOOD! It was also gluten free. The best gluten free cake I have EVER had! Bravo and thank you! read more

This place is amazing! I needed a cake for my mother's 90th Birthday party. I found Alyssas on line and looked at the cakes on her gallery. Everything looked great so I went into the shop and met Alyssa who was hard at work in the back. She is very sweet and communicates very well. I ordered the 12 inch two layer buttercream cake, with Buttercream frosting in Lavender/Purple Ombre. When my husband, who is not usually impressed with baked goods, picked up the cake, he was blown away. It was impressive, and was the highlight of the party. SO many people commented about how beautiful it was that I lost count. The taste of the cake equaled its beauty! Moist and chocolatey, with raspberry filling, it was incredible. This girl has talent! I can highly recommend Allysas without reservation!!! read more

Let me start out by saying I'm not a huge cake fan. However, the couple of times I've dealt with Alyssa and her staff have been amazing. I have a friend who is gluten free and she made cupcakes for me with no hesitation. My friend said they were very good. They also made a cake for us for our Relay for Life wrap up, and although that event was rained out, those who had the cake spoke highly about it. My dog is also a huge fan of their doggy treats and they don't bother his stomach which is a huge plus with his sensitive stomach. So, although I can't really comment on the product myself, the customer service, atmosphere and staff are definitely top notch. read more

The cake was amazing! It was a great success!! Thank you so very much. I will be coming back!! read more

Alyssa's Cakery - Thank you for the cake it looks amazing!! - Bakeries Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

STAY AWAY!! Horrible customer service and quality. The cake fell apart due to large cracks in the bottom tier. Alyssa said it must have been from the car ride. The cake was fine until we tried to serve it. It should be obvious to a "professional" that the bottom tier could not support the weight of the top tier as evident by many cracks in the bottom layer. Instead of admitting that she made a huge mistake, Alyssa chose to blame the customer. Very unprofessional! Don't waste your money. read more

I met Alyssa at a charity event for the Meriden Humane Society last August. Opening a storefront was a dream of hers. She made it come true this spring. It's a small quaint shop but the cupcakes deliver in flavor. The flavors are inventive and the cake is moist. She is a one person operation right now (along with family help!) so be sure to place cake orders ahead of time because she does run out of slots. read more

Alyssa's Cakery provided cupcakes for a baby shower I hosted for my daughter. The owner and staff at Alyssa's Cakery were helpful, professional and accomodating. The cupcakes were fresh, beautifully decorated and delicious. We had the pistachio and champagne flavors. read more

Alyssa made our wedding cake, my husbands birthday cake as well as various other cupcake orders for different events. The cake here is SO good and the designs are unmatched. Highly recommend read more

Have been there a few times looking for that delicious, moist cupcake that a few have mentioned. Sorry, but just have not found it. Those cupcakes are dry! Agree with previous reviewer that cupcakes are small. $3.00 for small, dry, "gourmet" cupcake. Frosting also very sweet. Cupcakes look pretty and Alyssa very friendly but definitely needs to improve the quality of her product. At best, rank it as 3 stars. read more

Stopped in here with a friend during our walk and it was super cute. We both got iced coffees and they had a nice mix of fixings: soy milk, almond milk, melted sugar, all set up with cute mason jars etc. We got the mini cupcakes, as there were so many choices and they are only $1 each. We also got some mochi iced cream. I got the chocolate coconut and it was really yummy. The only downside is she doesn't yet do vegan baking, which would be great for my husband. She did mention that she does gluten free and dairy free, so maybe vegan is on the horizon. I'll definitely go back, since it's a cute little shop, fair pricing and supports local business. read more

Alyssa did our daughter's first birthday smash cake & cupcakes for all the attendees. I couldn't help but grab a quick piece of the smash cake while the birthday girl was going to town on it. Amazing! The cupcakes were also delicious and very moist. read more

awesome! Treated myself to some cupcakes today (my bday:)...got 4- and no, I didn't eat them all but sampled each. one coconut, one reeses's and two (yummmm) Cadbury crème egg- probably special for easter...so great:) They are a little smaller than some I've had to reference previous reviews- but they are better than most:). Moist cake, great frosting, not overly sweet like a few places, fillings and or toppings (depending on which type) fresh. Kudos to the fact that there were three women working (one deep in baking) and all three smiled and spoke to me, wished me a happy easter. I have been in a few specialty shops where the employees act as though they are doing you a favor by serving you. I appreciate places with good customer service. read more

I love this place! Her mini cupcakes let you sample all the flavors in smaller sizes.

We are honestly so privileged to finally have a place like this in Wallingford. Her cakes and cupcakes are literally the best in the whole surrounding area, blows Mr. D's and all of those sheet cakes from the grocery stores completely out of the water. My family ordered me a red velvet cake for my birthday and it literally was the best cake I've ever had in my life. Love the seasonal cupcake options as well! And the staff is so friendly, Alyssa's is the place to go if you need a cake/cupcakes no doubt. read more

She did it again!! Cake after cake and honestly the best ever! Alyssa did my sons first bday cake and his second, and the details on the cake are so amazing time after time. She really puts her time and dedication into this amazing talent that she has. Thank you so much for our Minion cake, minion chocolate dipped strawberries, and minion cake pops. Everything tasted and looked amazing! Cant wait for the next event! read more

Alyssa is incredibly talented. The cakes are stunning and the details are fantastic. The best part is that it tastes great too so you get the whole package with this shop! read more

Had the pleasure of working with Alyssa and her husband Dan this weekend at Celebrate Wallingford . She stayed up two nights baking for this event!! The cake pops and push pops were fabulous !! I had chocolate on chocolate cake pop , it was moist and delicious !!! To DIE FOR !! This girl is a hard worker and sweet as the sugar she uses. Check out her Instagram for pics on her products, they are gorgeous !!! read more

The first reason you should buy cupcakes here is that they are AMAZING!! Fresh, moist, flavorful and well balanced cake to frosting ratio, and so many flavors. The second reason is the owner. She is a delight and great to work with! Our first purchase was the design your own cupcake kits that we brought to a bunch of friends during the quarantine. Every single child had a blast doing this fun project and eating their masterpieces. The second purchase was a mixed dozen for a birthday. I made a mistake and missed the pick up window. The owner was so accommodating (and she didn't have to be, it was my mistake) to schedule an alternate pick up time. She even tossed in extra cupcakes. I mean, who does that...accommodates a mistake and then rewards us with extra cupcakes? Anyway, if you are craving cupcakes, then order from Alyssa's Cakery. You will not only be super satisfied, you will come back again and again! read more

We hired Alyssa to make mini-cupcakes for my daughter's bridal shower and she did not disappoint! The cupcakes were not only delicious, they were beautiful, and Alyssa delivered them on time, as promised, and displayed them beautifully for all to see! Thank you, Alyssa! read more

I love love love Alyssa's fakery! I trust her for all my parties :) she did a gorgeous Sofia the first birthday cake for my daughters first birthday and an amazing casino themed cake for my dad's 50th. I would def recommend her over any other bakery in town. She also runs specials that I adore like Christmas time she did cake pops in mugs which was perfect for my co workers & her Mother's Day cupcake bouquet was beautiful! Her work is not only perfect but the cupcakes taste better than they look (imagine that!! Lol) read more

A co-worker brought Alyssa's mini cupcakes in to work about a month ago. They were out of this world good. Good to the point where I am relieved we don't live any closer to this cakery. I sent my daughter there last week to pick up a variety of cupcakes for my husband's dinner. To start with, these cupcakes are visually appealing. They look as delicious as they taste. The variety that was available was impressive. We had seven or eight different flavors. The cupcakes were not dry. They were firm, in order to hold up to the tower of frosting on top of them. We shared the varieties in order to be able to try lots of different flavors. The lemon/raspberry and the chocolate peanut butter, oh my. If you're in the area, stop by Alyssa's and treat yourself to a few minis. I promise you'll be glad you did. Yum! read more

Amazing, delicious, tasty, and beautifully crafted desserts!! Alyssa's cake and cupcakes were the perfect choice for our wedding. Alyssa was so helpful and kind, she worked with my schedule to meet her and sample the cupcakes. The shop is adorable. Stop in whenever you have the chance! I highly recommend Alyssa and her team!! Thank you so much!! read more

Absolutely delicious and moist red velvet cupcakes. Even the second day, they are so yummy.

Alyssa saved my wedding!!!! My current cake girl kept giving me the run around on price and delivery two weeks before my wedding. I called Alyssa and she made it happen. Just TWO WEEKS BEFORE, she made me a beautiful 65 red velvet and cookies and cream cupcake tower and delivered it for a very reasonable price. Everyone loved the cupcakes as well as the display. I would highly suggest Alyssa's Cakery to anyone I know!!!! read more

Horrible. Fair disclosure, I have not tried the cupcakes. But based on the quality of the $50 custom cake I bought a few months ago, I am betting that everything is blah. Our cake for a family member's birthday party was of course greatly anticipated. From the outside, is was decorated as requested. However, it was the driest cake ever. Imagine only having the cake to serve to attendees and it was such a bust. It really puts a damper on the event. Again, maybe the large local residents who are hooked on crap coffee at dunkin Donuts, sweet potato fries at knuckleheads, etc find substandard cupcakes appealing. After all, all that sugar will hide many a flaw. This bakery deserves to be in a town like Wallingford because it would likely already be closed in a town with more discerning consumers. But even so, I give this dump another six months before...buh bye. Do not buy their so called cakes. If you are looking for a good cake, go to lucibellas in new haven read more

Alyssa made my wedding cake, well cakes I should say! I gave her the challenge of combining a classy elegant wedding cake and a crazy MUDDY grooms cake and she pulled off my vision perfectly! Everyone loved not only how it looked but how it tasted! I would recommend Alyssa's cakery to anyone! She also made the cupcakes for my "will you be my bridesmaids" invitations :) read more

My wife and I used Alyssa's Cakery for our outdoor wedding reception on 9/27/2014. From the start, she listened to everything we wanted. After a few taste testings (all of which were delicious), we ended up with 3 cupcake flavors (pumpkin, chocolate squared, and french vanilla) for our cupcake tower and a different flavor for the little cake on top. When we requested french vanilla, she said she had not made that before, but went ahead and gave us three variations from scratch. Alyssa was with us every step of the way, flexible with any changes we gave her, friendly, and very professional. Cake delivery was early and ready for the reception. Her company provides cupcake towers if needed. We also wanted to get "to-go" boxes for our guests so they could take them home. She found wholesale boxes and provided them when the cake was delivered. The final product was beautiful and delicious. Our guests still talk about their cupcakes. She took into account all of our wedding details and seamlessly created a fantastic dessert that fit our wedding and personalities. We loved our red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and cannot wait to thaw it out for our 1 year anniversary. read more

If your looking for an amazing cake or cupcakes, Alyssa's needs to be your go to spot! I've been purchasing cakes there for years. Alyssa and her team are always very happy to help you pick the perfect flavor and decor for your cake. She is always on time for when you request to pick it up your cake or cupcakes. Also, if your looking for an awesome hot or iced coffee, you need to try their coffee selection. It is delicious. read more

The cake I ordered for my daughter's 1st birthday last year was absolutely beautiful. Received many compliments. Customer service was very friendly. However, the cake itself did not taste good at all. It was so dry and crumbly. My guests also agreed (which was embarrassing). Grocery store cakes are more moist and flavorful with better quality. I was extremely disappointed since it was not cheap either. I ended up throwing the whole thing out. What a shame because the cakes she does are beautiful but the flavor and cake quality just aren't there. read more

Alyssa made a Game of Thrones cake for a joint 30th birthday party. It was amazing. It tasted delicious and everyone at the party raved about it. She had said she never did a Game of Thrones cake, but you could never tell. It looked like she made a million of them. She made an "iron throne" out of rice krispies and the chocolate cake inside was delicious! I cannot say enough about Alyssa's cakery. Her cupcakes are amazing and she even offers minis. Also the coffee...out of this world. She really helped make our 30th birthday special with the Game of Thrones cake. We will continue to go there! read more
