She made a professional commitment to a project involving a photo shoot for her product and…read moremarketing. She then did not just back out, but completely disappeared. Didn't respond to texts or emails. Just vanished. It is extremely unprofessional and speaks volumes to her acumen as a business person. She inconvenienced my entire team and me, and demonstrated where she falls in this small and competitive field.  She should strongly consider how her actions and lack of follow-through affect others, and how her disregard for common courtesy and standard professionalism cast an extremely negative light on the business she is purporting to cultivate. I can only speak to my experience with her--extremely disappointing and profoundly unprofessional. Disregarded commitment, left us empty-handed at the last second, and didn't even have the courtesy to communicate any of it. Perhaps she will figure it out someday.

Chocolate and peanut butter? Ho hum. Booze and baked goods? Now you're talking! GP caught my eye with the frosting. Walking into the Encore Liquid Lounge (which sells a good its a$$ can't cash, but that's another thing), I was hypnotized by these strange blue cupcakes. Anyone who reads my reviews knows I can't resist anything colored blue, purple or red, so I had to know what was up. Imagine my surprise when I discovered by blue hypnosis was due to Hpnotiq cupcakes! You read that correctly: BLUE cupcakes made with and tasted like Hpnotiq. And, yes, you could get a buzz. Well, you know I had to have one. Or, 8. Tracey, the owner, is rightfully proud of her product and after we got to talking how I was going to be her new best friend/stalker, she made sure I left with a small box of the baked goods. Lest you think, however, that I am not klassy and only fall head over heels for blue treats, I'll have you know that I gorged on: cognac, amaretto, apple martini (GREEN with apple bits on the inside!), and strawberry margarita (keep me near the cross; these made me go on a mama-slapping rampage that was only quieted by passing out from the sheer rip-your-clothes-off goodness at eating a strawberry cake, topped with berry/tequila frosting and filled with boozy berries treat). Don't sit in judgement of me: you would have done the same thing.. and I might have been drunk from cupcakes (first time for everything!). These truly are guilty pleasures but don't wait too long to deny yourself. What's life without some indulgence? *Well, not *all* of them. Ohh yeahhh!!!

Day old cake had a distressing, rubbery frosting coat - weird and gross. Is marshmallow frosting a thing ? And how hard is it to take a cake order a week in advance and execute. Also downgraded a star as I facebooked messaged and called and left messages multiple times before someone finally got back to me. Dissatisfied, disappointed. Upgraded to 3 stars. The cake was moist and the Bavarian cream tasty. 4 layer cake (nice surprise) though the whipped cream was too rich and tasted vaguely like marshmallow. Still Stand by portion comment ... portions are stupidly small. I paid $4 for a smore thing that is literally an inch long and half an inch wide. I ordered a bday cake (6") they said could feed 12-16 people (maybe if they were dolls). It looks like a miniature cake that cost $60. Asked for simple, elegant design and got a white cake, red letters and 10 chocolate shavings. Simple, sure but no ones vocabulary can be termed elegant. Wow. Do not recommend at all. Very disappointed

Yuuuup, I'll be here on a monthly basis. They also have a punch card system. Every 12 cupcakes will get you 1 cupcake for free. The inside is super cool, there are numerous spots for photo ops and they even have a ring light and camera holder if interested in using it. My first time visiting I tried the following cupcakes: chai pumpkin latte (daily special and DANGGGG DELICIOUS), Almond wedding (my least favorite but still good, I think almond cupcakes just aren't for me), cookies and cream (divine, rich, 2nd favorite), and the Boston cream (also 2nd favorite lol). All of the cupcakes were moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. They are made daily and you can feel and taste the love. Area 51 is definitely my favorite cupcake spot of all time. I've gone to Area 51 probably every week since finding em and I can't get enough. They also made cupcakes for my baby's gender reveal. They were extremely accommodating and everything turned out perfect! I highly recommend them for custom cakes, cupcakes, or even just grabbing 1 of their daily made cupcakes. SOOO GOOD!

I've been a longtime fan of Area 51 Cupcakery, so naturally, I trusted them with one of the most…read moreimportant desserts I've ever ordered -- a custom cake for my brother's first-ever surprise 50th birthday party. Two weeks before the event, I came in person with a printed cake design, a clear color theme (green, cream, and white), and a macaron accent order to go with it. I was flexible on the design details, just committed to the vision. On the day of pickup, I arrived a little late -- my fault -- but there was no cake waiting, and my order couldn't be found. Hannah behind the counter did her best, and when owner Robert walked in, I calmly explained everything from the start. I won't lie -- I was heartbroken more than angry. This was a big night. What happened next is why I'm writing this review. Robert and his team didn't hesitate. They snapped a photo of the design from my phone, asked every detail, and promised to make it right -- with Robert personally delivering the cake to the venue (thankfully just 5 minutes away). And he did. He showed up with the cake designer in tow and delivered something truly stunning: a handsome, elegant cake that fit the theme perfectly and genuinely wowed my brother and guests. And the flavor? Their Atomic. Banana (pudding), strawberries (jam), and chocolate, vanilla & banana cake. YUM! It was incredibly moist and delicious. What could have been a devastating hiccup for such a milestone night became one of the most memorable parts of the celebration. That's a testament to Robert and his team's character, dedication, and craft. Thank you, Area 51 Cupcakery. We've loved your cupcakes from day one, and this experience only deepened our loyalty. We'll always come back.
