Everything is top notch! Excellent flavor selection. My fave cupcake spot hands down. Hummingbird!! Apple pie has bits of apples and a crumble crust, also I love the minis. read more

A small shop with a big impact! It was a complete accident when I discovered this gem of a cupcake shop. I was intrigued and stepped inside to find a delightful interior and the friendliest employees. This spot has now become a regular stop for me. The rotating menu of flavors, as well as their gluten free, dairy free and vegan options (which are delicious!) make it an inclusive option. I love how natural the fruit flavors, like the strawberry truffle, are. One of my favorites is the fleur de sel which has that perfect saltiness to its chocolate base. Honestly all of the flavors have been a joy to try. The counter service is always friendly and so helpful! And if you're feeling like a smaller serving, they have minis! A great option for elevated cupcakes. read more

WOW these cupcakes were so cute AND tasty! We got the lemon blueberry pie and southern red velvet-YUM! I will definitely be back for more!!

The cupcakes here are exquisite! They have a wonderful variety of flavors and the icing is the perfect compliment to the moist cake. I like that the icing doesn't overpower the light cake. It's just the right about of sweetness! I ordered 7 dozen mini cupcakes in assorted flavors for a baby shower and everyone went crazy over the design and flavors. I highly recommend this bakery. The owner Maria is very kind and was extremely helpful. read more

While I'm hardly the cupcake connoisseur, I would attest there are few things in life that are as sweet and satisfying as the ones from Celebrity. Nestled in the heart of Rice Village, they remind me of my time back in NYC where I saw mini cupcakes all over the city (#1). Over the last dozen years, they've made quite the name for themselves here in Houston. The shop is small and thus the takeout game is where it's at. I would recommend calling ahead of time to book or ordering directly from their website for pickup. The cupcakes that standout for me are their carrot cake, vanilla bean, and hummingbird (sweet bananas with pineapple and cream cheese). The raspberry linzer bars, lemon bars, and brownies are underrated and deserve a lot of shine in their own right. While foodflation is in full effect everywhere, it's especially felt here. At $55 for a dozen cupcakes and $30 for the minis, my wallet hurts every time I walk out of here. Thankfully the service is quite good and the parking is usually not too full despite only having a handful of spaces. Their mini cupcakes are a nice changeup from the regular cupcakes, but even the latter feels a bit smaller than the pseudo baseball sized standards. All in all, this is a good bakery and a quality cupcake destination. I think as long as expectations are noted ahead of time, a good time can be had by everyone (#2). ___________ (#1) Courtesy of Baked by Melissa: https://www.yelp.com/biz/baked-by-melissa-new-york-3 (#2) Especially those with a sweet tooth. read more

Celebrity Cupcakes - smores , strawberry truffle , red velvet , vanilla , banana - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

These are some of the or the best cupcakes you will find in Houston. The flavors are so good, the cake so moist and the icy so fluffy! The minis have the perfect ratio of cake to icing and they are are my go-to for dessert for a party. The guests rave about them and have so much fun picking between the different flavors. I love, too, that when I go in, I often see the owner/chef doing her magic and greeting guests. Celebrity cupcakes is a true gem in a little shop in West U. Highly, highly recommend! read more

This has always been my go-to cupcake spot in Houston. Sprinkles and Crave is nothing compared to this place. I appreciate the mini sized cupcakes they have bc it allows you to try different flavors and it's the perfect size so you can get your craving fix but not eat an entire cupcake. Their cupcakes are always moist and I love that it doesn't taste too rich- most places have way too much frosting that's utterly too sweet. These are the perfect balance. My fav flavor is the SMORES! That graham cracker crust at the bottom is to die for! I purchase cupcakes from here for celebrations, bdays, and work functions. Ppl love it. It's surprising not more ppl know about it. I don't think they advertise and honestly they don't even need to bc word of mouth works better and it's free ‍ read more

Very shocked by how tasty these cupcakes were. I got the mini's, apple, s'mores, red velvet and dark chocolate with strawberry frosting. I will say the S'mores was disappointing, but the others were great! read more

One of my favorite cupcake places in the city. I've been going here since I moved to Houston. They always have fresh cupcakes that aren't overly sweet! Highly recommend. Love their red velvet. read more

I stopped in after having lunch nearby. Several of the day's options were still available. The person checking me out was great in helping me choose. The place was small, but fun to see the cupcakes on display and the baking activity and racks behind the counter. And the box is great - built in holes to keep my treats from rolling around while walked them back to my place. An easy walk from around Rice, and very walkable on a nice day from the nearby medical facilities. read more

Celebrity Cupcakes - Two awesome cupcakes! - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Good. Friendly service. Four stars because they only serve strawberry cupcakes on a certain day and to my understanding it isn't a plain strawberry cupcake but like a strawberry truffle or chocolate mousse cupcake. I got the red velvet mini cupcake which was a little over $2.00. I ate it in one bite. Good but wouldn't be running to return here. Parking is great because they have their own dedicated lot. read more

A hidden gem inside Rice Village. I decided to come to Celebrity again cause it was super close by and one of my coworkers was celebrating a birthday. Thought a dozen mini cupcakes would be a nice surprise for everyone! I came on a random weekday morning and there was no one here - the display cases were full of large normal size cupcakes; with racks of fresh cupcakes behind the counter (both full sized and minis)! When you order, they grab from the trays instead of the display to ensure you get some of the freshest ones! I told the lady to select a variety of a dozen minis for me and I purchased 2 large cupcakes and a rice crispy treat for myself! Yum!! That rice crispy treat was exactly what I wanted! I tried one of the mini cupcakes and the chocolate was moist and the frosting soft! Very flavorful and delicious! The carrot cake cupcake was delicious - lots of nuts, not too sweet, and super moist! I didn't eat the raspberry lemon one until a day later and it stayed fresh, in the box in room temp, and was delicious the next day! I enjoyed these way more than the Crave cupcakes cause I think they're way more moist and a lot more flavorful! The coworkers agreed and enjoyed these a lot better than Crave and Sprinkles as well! Love this place - the only place to buy cupcakes for your special occasion! read more

The Lavender cupcakes were great. I was immediately greeted when I walked in the door. It is a cute little shop. i can't wait to try the other flavors! Going back for more Grapefruit Lavender and the Hummingbird! read more

The store is in a small strip mall next to a coffee shop. The bakery has a wide variety of cupcakes in both regular and miniature sizes. There is something baked fresh for every palate. The flavors were great and the cupcakes were moist. read more

So yummy! Discovered this gem b/c my bestie had brought me a box of mini cupcakes for graduation. I've been hooked ever since! Flavors rotate daily. In my opinion, Friday's & Saturday's are best to make orders b/c they have a ton of delicious flavors. I recently got the box of mini dozens. I love getting the minis because they are perfect to sample lots of flavors without breaking the bank! It costs around $22-23 for the dozen. I usually order online from their website & pay ahead to make pick-up easier. My favorite flavors are the Chardonnay lavender strawberry & Strawberry lavender grapefruit. I also really loved carrot, apple, and fleur de sol (sp?) flavors. The shop is cute but pretty small. It's located outside the Rice Village area with plenty of parking in the lot. It's more a grab & go kind of venue, but would totally come back again to try more flavors! read more

Celebrity Cupcakes has always been one of my favorite cupcake place. They have regular and mini size cupcake. See store website to see their daily flavors. Although this place is a trip into town from Cypress, I made sure I got my cupcake fix. Red velet is their most popular, so I definitely ordered two. Banana and Vanilla bean. They were all my flavorite. My daughter and I shared the banana flavor cupcake for the first time and surprisedly it was really good. We are not a banana person, but it was so moist and the cream cheese frosting had a nice touch to it. We also ordered the mini smores. It must be one of their popular cupcakes, because we got the last one! Chocolate cake with a graham cracker crust topped w/ toasted marshmallow. Must I need to say more? read more

A very nice bakery offering up a nice variety of cupcakes. My wife and I had a good time stopping here to get some dessert for later (B)

I'm really not that big on cupcakes, mostly because I feel like super-sweet frosting is used to make up for a cake below that is unexceptional... HOWEVER! When I walked in to pick up a last minute batch of mini cupcakes I ordered the day before for a small celebration for my 5-year old daughter, I was immediately drawn to all of the fruit-based cupcakes and the ones with lavender frosting. I got a mini 4-pack for myself in addition to my order, and WOW. I think the lavender frosting on grapefruit cupcake was my favorite of them all. The frosting was not overly sweet, and it was light and fluffy, not a dense paste of buttercream. The cake itself was moist, and the small bit of filling gave it a pleasant grapefruit edge to finish the whole couple of bites off. Everyone there was very kind, and the shop is really cute. Parking is a bit tight, but since people are mostly coming in and out all the time, it is manageable. They handed me all of the cupcakes I bought in the mini 4-pack directly off of the trays they had cooked them on. The pricing on these cupcakes feels right. I will definitely come back, but I probably wouldn't bother with Crave or Sprinkles, for comparison. Those cupcakes are pretty pretentious for what you are getting, while Celebrity Cupcakes is earnestly working toward being something really special. read more

They are absolutely delicious. Friends brought them over for the holidays and we loved them. I personally visited yesterday and they are just as delicious as well as excellent engaging customer service read more

They not only make really tasty cupcakes but they are super friendly & nice. The service is excellent & they also deliver. I cannot say enough kind things about the staff, and everything they sell is perfect! The cakes are beautifully decorated and there is a large variety of flavors!! Thank you Celebrity Cupcakes! Ann Stewart read more

Very cute dessert shop! The cupcake aesthetic is A++ and the taste is solid too. My friends and I got the dark chocolate (standard), apple (fav! The inside was moist and cinnamon-y), red velvet (great, but you can't go wrong with cream cheese icing), and s'mores (thought I wouldn't like it but the marshmallow icing was surprisingly good and not overly cloying). I have to be honest and say that I prefer the decadence of Crave cupcakes a little more, but Celebrity is a great option if you're in the area! read more

Celebrity Cupcakes - Dark Choco, S'mores, Apple and Red Velvet - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

When it comes to cupcakes, Celebrity is my fav. I always get the minis because it's too hard to choose just one flavor. Their red velvet is the best as well, moist and not too dense, and the cream cheese frosting is rich and flavorful. I like to go on the weekends because that's when I can find the Chardonnay flavors, which have a tangy kick to the icing. I'm thankful I don't live close by. I'd be there every Saturday. Definitely recommend! read more

Celebrity Cupcakes - Two gluten free red velvet, strawberry Chardonnay lavender, strawberry truffle. - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cupcakes are consistent, never dry/hard. Better than crave and sprinkles. Flavors we usually order: Strawberry truffle Hummingbird Italian cream Red velvet Carrot cake Raspberry truffle read more

Despite their small and relaxing outdoor patio, Celebrity's cupcakes was just not my cup of tea. All the cupcakes were aesthetically nice. But, for me, they were entirely too sweet. I had the red velvet cupcake, which was itself moist enough. But, that huge mound of sugar frosting on top was cavity sweet. To balance it out, I just mixed the top icing part with the cake. This made it less sweet, but it was still sweeter than I'd like. Now, if you're a huge sweet tooth and like your desserts super sweet, this spot is definitely for you. read more

I was actually surprised by how good these cupcakes are lol. I randomly walked by it and decided to give it a try. The quality of these cupcakes are top notch & the customer service was excellent! This is a business definitely worth supporting. read more

I was drawn to this cupcake store because of the pictures!! The way they squeeze the frosting on top of the cupcake is so cute!!!! I came yesterday and parking was easy to find. The shop seems small, but with a open design, it looked big! There wasn't too much flavors, but there were a few unique ones like banana and strawberry. I ordered the strawberry and my boyfriend got the red velvet. Each cupcake was $3.75, which is kind of pricey for a small cupcake (smaller than sprinkles/crave). The red velvet was moist. The strawberry cupcake was a little dry, but the frosting balanced it out to make it more moist. The frosting is soft and not super sweet. I'd like to try the banana one next! read more

Celebrity Cupcakes - Strawberry and red velvet - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cupcakes are delicious. There is no denying that but they need to do something about the gnats in the case. Its disgusting! I never even noticed because I always get the mini cupcakes because I like variety. But this weekend I was bragging on how good they were to a friend and we stopped in while shopping. She refused to get anything and pointed out the gnats in the case. There were so many it was so obvious. Also about the minis... the obnoxiously enthusiastic girl that working on the weekend always says and I quote "They come in set of four which four would you like?" But the menu clearly says that one mini cupcake is $2 and comes without a box. That either needs to be removed or they should stop trying to play semantics to force people to send more money. read more

Amazing customer service! the banana and lemon were decent. The mini taste like the regular sized ones. I also had strawberry, smore, chocolate truffle, red velvet and milk chocolate. They were baked well and fresh. I would consider returning to try hummingbird and carrot cake. I would recommend sticking to white cake based cakes. read more

A solid cupcake shop! I tried the chocolate cupcake. The cake was fluffy and moist, and the caramel filling was so good. I haven't been to another cupcake place that puts caramel filling inside their chocolate cupcakes - this was a unique experience, and I enjoyed it. Their display of cupcakes is beautiful and I'd be down to come back and try their other flavors! read more

Celebrity Cupcakes - Chocolate (caramel filling inside!) - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

FYI, the parking lot here is not that great. The cupcake itself was okay, kinda sweet but nothing special. Each cupcake decoration was really cute though. The only thing that bothered me was when asking about each cupcake flavor, she just responded dryly with the cupcake's name (which was already labeled, btw). Are you not going to give me a description of your cupcakes or are you just going to assume I would know what a hummingbird would taste like? lol, whatever, the employees isn't friendly here so spend your cupcake money at Crave or Sprinkles, where the staff are actually welcoming. Yelp say two stars = "Meh. I've experienced better.", but since their cupcakes were really cute, I'll give them 3. read more

Celebrity Cupcakes - Cute mini cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Well... I picked 3 dozen mini cupcakes today and I wished I was informed that the support is not as secure as you would buy the regular size. I was shit out of luck because the middle portion was not securing the cupcakes and so whenever the box moves ever so slightly, it would tip over. Anyway, I was shocked to see how discombobulated the cupcakes were upon opening it. It didn't survive the drive. Spoke with manager to see if they can redecorate it, but Unfortunately 1) it's not sanitary (which I understand 2) they just wont do it. and was told I "oh well, sorry" so I'm screwed. I was also blamed that I hit a bump and was accused of everything else because "this never happens to us". And to be clear, I drove smoothly on my way home. I was just told by another staff a while before speaking with Maria (the manager) that another costumer had this happened. I'm very irritated.... Customer service blows. read more

Overall, the cupcakes themselves are 3 stars- the cupcakes themselves were pretty dry and that's a lot of what the cupcake is about. Of the ones I ordered (apple, lemon coconut, chocolate, chocolate truffle, Belgian chocolate with peppermint, southern red velvet), apple was by far my favorite- it had little apple pieces in the batter which was awesome. +1 star for service: Ordered these delivery originally but they had a hard time contacting me. They were SUPER accommodating about getting them to me/having me pick them up and letting me take off delivery charge. So service was great. read more

Celebrity Cupcakes - Cupcakes-box of 6! - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have been going to Celebrity Cupcakes since I was a kid (2010) and they always have the best customer service and best tasting cupcakes.

I've been back to Celebrity and had a dozen brought to me by a family member. Unfortunately, I have to reduce my original rating of 4 stars down to 3. First, the icing on several of the cupcakes is nasty. I have tried at least 6-8 different cupcakes. I do like the red velvet, but the bright blue color is a little off putting. The thick (cream cheese?) icing on another cupcake was so gross I had to spit it out. The building is still adorable. The place is very small but very cute. The lady behind the counter may need to stick to just making the cupcakes. It felt like veiled hostility when I was there. I do have to say that I like Sprinkles a LOT more. It's not because they are new, I just really like their red velvet and black&white cupcakes. I think cupcakes are one of those things that appeal very differently to different people. Like, are you a Coke or Pepsi person. I've learned that I am not a Celebrity Cupcakes person, but I'm sure others will be. read more

I got four cupcakes for my friends birthday. A little pricey for 4 cupcakes, they were good but I wish they were a little bigger. I got the vegan red velvet, carrot, chocolate vanilla bean, coconut. All the cupcakes tasted good but were a little greasy. The cupcakes were moist and the icing was good. They weren't overly sweet but I prefer little icing and more cake. Overall they were good and I recommend getting the flavors, especially the chocolate vanilla bean and red velvet. read more

Cupcakes here are good and taste homemade, but they're expensive. I also wish they asked if I was eating the cupcake there or taking it to go - they package the cupcake in a nice box and I felt bad throwing it away literally 10 minutes later. It felt so wasteful. read more
