Lemon Raspberry

I was paying enough attention during my infrequent Avon visits to know that Cake Gypsy would be a good dessert bakery. The problem for me was that, I was not paying enough attention to know that Cake Gypsy is in fact, absolutely freaking fantastic! I finally visited. I was immediately struck by how uber cute the shop is. Clean whites. Bright Yellows. Candy borders. Giant Cupcakes. At least one Giant Ice Cream Cone. Wood floors. Cupcake tower after cupcake tower. And so on. And SO forth. 10/10 atmosphere that I didn't see coming. The cupcake options were top tier in terms of types and quality. I don't know how they possibly can have so many on display. There must have been around 30 varieties and about 10 of each kind on display. They can't possibly sell that many cupcakes while they're still peak fresh can they? I don't know that, but I know this. I bought a half dozen to split with my family. I had a Coconut Cream cupcake on Day 1 and a Lemon Raspberry on Day 2. They were maximum fresh. My son said the same thing about his Ice Cream Sundae cupcake and Reese's Cup cupcake. That's all I need to know. We also agreed that they're our favorite cupcakes in CT. They're standard sized cupcakes rather than oversized, which I appreciate. They're priced accordingly, and frankly seemed like great value. The cake was light rather than dense and heavy. The icing was perfectly formed, but still smooth and velvety. The flavors were pitch perfect. I cannot imagine better cupcakes for my tastes. I was focussed on the cupcake side of the business, but I did notice that they had ice cream as well. Their website mentions hot chocolate bombs. I don't even want to know about those. Cake Gypsy is amazing! I can't wait to go back. And probably won't. Five Stars

After much mulling, I've figured out what "bugs" me about this place - it belongs on the coast. It feels like it belongs in a beach town, but instead is a perfect summer stop inexplicably in Simsbury. There are designated parking spots, and it shares the building with a shipping store. But when you walk into the mercifully air conditioned space and are greeted by the cheerful bright yellow - total beach vibes! The Cake Gypsy has everything but cake - cupcakes a plenty, ice cream, cannoli, candies, and frozen drinks. (I recommend a frozen drink on a hot day while you browse cupcakes. The hot chocolate is delicious) The cupcakes are amazing to see and will take time to pick the best one. They're moist, the frosting is plentiful without being too sweet, and by the register there's even a pup cupcake! The owner is super friendly, thanked us for coming in while we thought over our frozen drinks (they have some seating by the entrance), and let us know where her other establishments are located. The employees were well staffed by numbers, and therefore everything was pulled quickly.

Always the absolute best cupcakes anywhere in the state. Hands down. Enough said. But really, go get these cupcakes. Perfect for a quick stop or last-minute ordering.

A cute shop, fun, interior design. The cupcakes are average at best, nothing out of this world. They just look prettier than they taste. Allergen friendly. The staff are nice.

It's hard to tell what's sweeter -- the gorgeousness of the store, the tempting variety of their goods, or the sweet disposition of their staff. We visited Cake Gypsy Avon yesterday to pick up some cupcakes with our grandchildren in mind. When we told Missy who they were for, she became an enthusiastic fountain of knowledge letting us know which ones were very popular for kids. She was as sweet as could be, and a real joy to work with. We ended up with 6 cupcakes including MIssie's kid-friendly recommendations of Birthday Cake, Cookie Dough, Worms & Dirt, and Mermaid. They were gorgeous to look at and were delicious. We bought two cake slices for ourselves - cinnamon walnut and crumb cake. They were both very good but I'd say the cinnamon walnut was moister and better. Everything cost $23 and that was a very fair value for what we received. Thank you Cake Gypsy and thank you Missy for a great customer experience.

Ambiance: this place is adorable. Very dainty and sweet. Perfect vibes for a cupcake place. Service: each person we encountered was beyond friendly. Food: their cupcakes are to die for. Extremely moist, amazing flavors, and the decorations are on point. We will definitely be back.

Cake Gypsy is a really great cupcake store in Avon Village Marketplace. It's so cute. There's plenty of parking. The place is full of cupcakes. You have so many choices. They will put a nice Happy Birthday sign on the cupcake! There's treats for doggies too. They have gluten free things too, and there are other desserts too, like cannoli. Service was nice.

Safe eating confirmation

EXCELLENT place to get your sweet tooth fix settled. Their specialty is Gluten-Free, vegan, dairy-free, peanut safe. The great thing with all of that is, it's not taste-free (meaning, it doesn't taste nasty) the vegan cupcake with dairy-free frosting tasted very good. My combination of choice was the red velvet cake with strawberry frosting. The second choice would have to be the lemon cake with lemon frosting. Find out your combination by indulging in a bite or two, or three.. Or a dozen. Great tasting cupcakes for those who have food allergies.
