Last time I came into this amazing place I made the mistake of not trying their pup cupcakes!…read more It was my dogs birthday so I made the drive from Long Beach to HB. Because 1- My dog is worth it. And 2- they have the best human cupcakes I've ever had lol When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the owner who is so incredibly sweet. She remembered me and greeted me like she's known me for years. They had a 4 pack of pup cakes already packed up. So I grabbed those and told her it was my dogs birthday. Don't forget to ask her if she has a free candle or birthday topper available! She usually has a bunch behind the counter she hands out. She gave me a candle (I got to pick out the color) and I got a little tiny happy birthday topper to put in the pup cake PS- the pup cupcakes smell absolutely delicious! The peanut butter frosting smells out of this world. I almost took a bite. As always, this place is extremely clean Staff is great! Parking is great! Flavors to pick from are great They have a huge variety. I'm so bummed I got there too late and missed out on their coconut cupcake and they had a pistachio one!! (Her flavors are always the best and always changing) So I had to go with my old trusty. I got a wedding cake one and a birthday confetti one. Again, these cupcakes are HUGE. They have the perfect amount of frosting vs cake ratio, they are not dry at all!!! Hands down the best in Orange County I got sucked in. She can make any of her cupcake flavors into a donut. So I tried the strawberry donut (inspired by her strawberry cupcake) the donuts are all in the back and not on display like the cupcakes are It's the best of both worlds The donut was light and fresh. It tasted like a Krispy Kreme but with the delicious frosting of a cupcake. This is on the sweeter side, for me? Sweeter the better. But might be too sweet for others. I can't wait to come back here for all my cupcake and cake needs in the future!!! Give them a try, you and your dog will be extremely satisfied (I have never seen any bakery that is this dog friendly!!)

A good friend of mine had a birthday party for her daughter and the cake was so good! When I asked…read moreher the name of the bakery, she provided me this cake shop's information. I went in for a custom cake order, and the owner was able to accommodate within a 72 hour window. I'll say that my daughter does not actually eat cake. She eats frosting, but when I tell you, she ate her entire slice including the cake and the buttercream frosting! The cake was so moist and so beautiful! The prices are fair for the quality that you receive. However, I will say that when I inquired on a separate order if she's able to accommodate for gluten allergies, she said unfortunately no. Although her website does advertise that she can. Besides that, this is a solid option for custom cakes, especially if you like them small and stacked.

There's not a lot of places in the local area that can accommodate for both vegan and gluten…read moreallergies, but this place can. I was able to order specialty cupcakes for my niece, and I was so impressed with the store and packaging and most importantly the taste of the product. I picked up a cinnamon roll to go and when I brought it home and heated it up for a few seconds, I tasted the best cinnamon roll I've had in my life. I am so excited to go back and try more!

My sister ordered a cake here for her son, and it turned out amazing! Not only was it absolutely…read morestunning, but it was exactly what my nephew had in mind. The attention to detail really showed. The frosting was smooth and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet--and the cake itself was incredibly moist with a light, perfect consistency. You can tell a lot of care went into making it. I would definitely recommend this place for both beautiful and delicious cakes!

I had such an amazing experience at this location! It was my son's birthday, and I was picking up…read morehis cake. Long story short, I realized the cake had actually been ordered at the Newport location instead of Costa Mesa. Dennis was helping me, and he was absolutely wonderful. He was so kind, patient, and accommodating. He went above and beyond by providing me with the same cake and even offered to call the Newport location to explain the situation. I've worked in customer service for over 25 years, and unfortunately, exceptional customer service like this can be hard to find these days. Dennis truly went above and beyond, and I was incredibly grateful for his kindness and willingness to help--especially on a busy Saturday. A huge thank you to Dennis and the entire staff for making what could have been a stressful situation so easy and pleasant. Your kindness and customer service did not go unnoticed! I will definitely continue coming here and purchasing all of my cakes from you. Thank you again, Dennis, and the entire team, for such a wonderful experience!

I came in on 8/2/26 to try their seasonal items: Raspberry Vanilla, Key Lime Pie…read more I brought my son with me to check out the desserts with me for the first time. He was so excited seeing the cake designs on Spiderman and Minions. We enjoyed our desserts inside. They only had 1 high top table with 2 high top chairs. I would say service was ok. I just didn't feel greeted with the most excitement by staff. Staff didn't care to know if we enjoyed our dessert, offer stickers to my kid at all. For a single parent with their young toddler, I think its important to make sure all customers enjoyed the dessert and the children have a good experience so that they always remember this place to request us coming back again. Thats just my advice when it comes to customer service for adults and kids. Though, I will try my best to be back for the raspberry vanilla cupcake, bc that did taste really good when I ate it elsewhere. Please keep this seasonal dessert permanently on the menu.

The order was ready right on time, and I was even able to pick it up a little earlier, which worked out perfectly. It was packaged really well and held up perfectly during my 45-minute drive with the AC blasting! Overall, such a great experience!

We have been customers of Patricia's for over 3 years, and there is a reason we keep coming back!…read moreFrom the very beginning, she has consistently made cakes that are not only absolutely delicious, but also beautifully crafted. Our wedding cake was everything we could have hoped for. We had 3 layers of different flavors: chocolate cake with fresh raspberry & chocolate mousse filling, lemon raspberry cake with raspberry jelly & cream cheese filling, chocolate cake with fresh strawberries & chocolate mousse filling. The taste of each layer was incredible--moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Visually, it was stunning: elegant, sophisticated, and beautifully detailed. It fit our wedding aesthetic perfectly and looked like a true centerpiece. What I appreciate most is the consistency, professionalism, and care she puts into every cake. She truly combines artistry with incredible flavor, and our wedding cake was the perfect example of that. If you are looking for a cake that tastes as amazing as it looks, I cannot recommend her enough!

On my last visit, I got the zucchini bread. I really like their zucchini bread because it's really moist and not too sweet. Each order comes with 2 slices for $5.75 plus tax. The zucchini bread tasted good, but it fell apart pretty quickly, so I think I may have gotten a batch that wasn't baked properly. When I do get donuts, I usually go for the chocolate Long Johns or the custard malasadas. Both are tasty!

I recently had an espresso or coffee based buttercream on a chocolate cupcake. That frosting was Magical! I highly recommend! All the women that work here to create these little cake perfections are also the sweetest! Thank you, Frosted Cupcakery!

Why have Holey Grail Donuts when you can have Frosted Cupcakery instead?!…read more Okay, that might be quite the low blow considering that Holey Grail Donuts recently closed for good here in Long Beach, but Frosted Cupcakery seems to have withstood the test of time for ~20 years. Possibly a testament to how good their cupcakes really are?! So I had a Fivestars reward for a free cupcake from Frosted Cupcakery, and since I was planning an afternoon getaway by the beach, I wanted to stop by to claim my free cupcake before expiry. Frosted Cupcakery is located in Belmont Shore two doors east of where Holey Grail Donuts used to be. If you're still not sure where that is, it's on 2nd St about a couple blocks east of the intersection with Livingston. They had a bunch of different flavors to choose from, but the Royal White Cookie Butter cupcake piqued my interest since it sounded like a winning combo that was hard to beat. I asked the employee to describe what it was, and once she said the words "Biscoff cookie", I was immediately sold! They had plenty of that flavor's cupcakes in stock, which kind of led me to believe it wasn't a popular flavor, but I still went with my gut instinct. The employee grabbed a Royal White Cookie Butter cupcake from the display case, placed said cupcake in a white paper bag, added a Frosted Cupcakery sticker on top, and handed it to me while wishing me a good day. I did ask her how long the cupcakes would last in the fridge, and she went to the back to ask a supervisor, giving me more time to peruse the available flavors shown in the display case. She came back shortly later to inform me that the cupcakes should remain good for about 2 to 3 days on the counter. On the way out, I also grabbed a Frosted Cupcakery card, which contains the contact info for the shop as well as the list of cupcake flavors, some of which are seasonal, gluten-free, or even vegan! The card also mentions that the cupcakes are handcrafted, likely with love. I spent a couple more hours chilling by the beach before going home to finally enjoy my cupcake. I noticed there was an unusually large see-through (grease?) spot on the side of the bag, which almost made me think it wasn't a cupcake inside the bag. When I took out the Royal White Cookie Butter cupcake from the bag, I noticed a divider between the frosting and the wrapper, which I thought was a nice touch to separate the two entities of the cupcake. However, I struggled a bit with removing the divider before taking my first bite, which was superb! The buttercream and cookie butter crumbles on top did make for a winning combo, and I wish the flavor could have been prevalent below the divider as well. However, even that flavor seemed to have dissipated after the first bite akin to an exponential decay. They have a few tables inside where you can enjoy your cupcakes with friends. However, take note of the fact that they only allow a maximum of 2 dozen cupcakes for walk-in customers; this is denoted by a sign on the display case. If you want more than 2 dozen, you'd have to place a special order, likely online, but I'm sure over the phone would work as well. Parking? Well, certainly not the easiest as it's in Belmont Shore. While there is a small parking lot directly behind the cupcake shop, I believe it's either paid parking or reserved for other businesses like Philz Coffee or F&M Bank. I had to find a spot on Livingston and walk over, which wasn't too far of a walk, but could be worse on the weekends. Overall, I liked the complimentary cupcake that I got courtesy of Fivestars, but I didn't think it was *that* good to warrant the 5th star from me. I do agree it's a great spot to order cupcakes from, especially if you're planning a day at the nearby beach!
