I kinda feel bad for this place since they inadvertently walked into this Yelp. An unusual set of circumstances led to me being the unfortunate victim of a a tongue assault by their cupcakes. We were coming back from DC and per our usual ritual bought a batch of Georgetown Cupcakes to our friends in Lumberton. Strike number one against this place is that we actually had the gold standard of cupcakes to compare them to in the house that night. My friend had purchased four cupcakes from this place after a short day trip to Fayetteville and offered them to us as a taste test. The flavors she had were red velvet, strawberry, banana budding, and some type of double chocolate. Second strike against this place is the cupcakes weren't all the nice to look at. It looked like a 6 year old that overdosed on Ritalin helped their mom frost them. Now on to the taste test: 1. Red Velvet - Can't blame them for not getting this one right since most places don't. The frosting was sweet enough to induce a diabetic coma. The cake didn't taste like red velvet at all. Just not good at all. 2. Strawberry - would it really hurt this place to go out and get real strawberries? For $3 a pop I need real ingredients not imitation flavors. The artificial strawberry flavor was so strong and fake that it could have fronted as one of Amy Winehouse's notoriously bad weaves. You will need plenty of drink to wash the taste out of your mouth. You can get away with low quality materials at a bake sale but not at a gourmet cupcake place. 3. Chocolate Cupcake - when I took my first bite of this one I was confused. How you make a chocolate cupcake without any flavor is beyond my comprehension. I have heard of flourless chocolate cake but never flavorless chocolate cake. 4. Banana Budding - Suffers from imitation flavors again. At least it was moist but not much else to say. The third strike is obviously paying MORE money than Georgetown Cupcakes for something far less superior. To be fair I didn't really visit the place itself so I can't comment on customer service or the shop itself. For that reason I will give them a 2 stars and not a one star. If you go buy only one cupcake to try. You may find yourself disappointed by getting a half dozen. read more

I went to the Cupcake Gallery at Cross Creek mall and their cupcakes were not worth the money or the calories. I can make better ones at home!! And they put the cupcakes in these boxes that smashed the icing...you expect something more elegant and functional when you pay that much for cupcakes! It was a big disappointment :-( I did hear that their store downtown is much better....but we haven't tried it yet. read more

Well...I went to the one in the mall....not only were they WAY overpriced....but werent very good either. I paid over $16 for six cupcakes! What a rip off for cupcakes that are small and arent very good either. I wont be going back there nor will I even give the one downtown a try. Im sure they'll taste just the same. YUCK!! read more

Cupcake Gallery - the outside of a cupcake shop - Bakeries Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

The cupcakes are ok but I have had better. IF you need a sugar fix, then this will do the trick however there is nothing special about this place. I ordered 1 red velvet, pralines and cream, banana pudding, and some other white chocolate cupcake. Ok, but not going to blow anyone away. Banana Pudding Cupcake: The cupcake tasted like banana cake and the frosting was ok but I expected some cream in the middle. I wanted to be surprised. I was let down. Red velvet: Nothing special. It was moist and well cooked. Cream cheese icing was standard. Pralines and cream: the cupcake was plain and the only thing remnant of pralines and cream was the topping. I was clearly disappointed. They need to spice it up a bit. For fayetteville the cupcakes are WAY, WAY, WAY overpriced. read more

I bought cupcakes from the Cupcake Gallery at Cross Creek Mall, nice clean place, location near the carousel and helpful friendly cashier. I love the cupcakes!Many delicious varieties. Im a photographer and the cashier was kind enough to let me take photos of the cupcakes( I will post pics soon. I bought the Fayetteville Cream Pie, the Banana Split cup cake they were delicious, my children and I enjoyed the sweet treats. I will definetly visit again, and I will visit the one on Person Street also when I get a chance. . read more

See all

We got the banana pudding and chocolate covered strawberry cupcake and both were terrible! They tasted completely artificial, and just plain disgusting. Don't waste your money! read more

I give four stars on one basis, my girlfriend had asked for one thing for her birthday.... 27 birthday cakes. I went to them and they made my 27 different types of cup cakes for her birthday and it was a big success . With that said I never tried them so I can not say if they were good bad or indifferent but she loved them and everyone said they were good. One more thing they looked very nice as well so that is one of those stars also. read more

Friendly staff however the cupcakes were over priced for what you get. The flavor profiles of their cupcakes struggle to make the grade. After having Sprinkles, Georgetown Cupcakes, and Magnolia's this place is on the level of a 6 year old with an easy bake oven. read more

The strawberry cupcake is just okay and the others are terribly overpriced and terribly equal in taste and quality. Total fail on this place. read more

Great place to bring your daughter and hang out downtown. The cupcakes are pretty good.

Cute & quaint little cupcake bakery. I love that it's a father/daughter business. Good variety of flavors: red velvet w/crm cheese frosting, strawberry shortcake, tiramisu, banana split, rocky road & more. They are extremely generous w/their frosting w/c I find myself scraping half off so that my blood sugar doesn't shoot through the roof. A little pricey but if I'm not mistaken they have happy hour on Thursdays when the cupcakes are half off from 5-6pm. Definitely a good sugar fix if you're strolling downtown. read more

I went there today after having lunch at the Taste of Africa and since I am a peanut butter feen I wanted to try out their sweets. I was greeted with by a really nice lady who said her baker was frosting a new batch of peanut butter cupcakes and I could have one shortly. She said they just opened and there is an eclectic open space inside their gallery for parties, church groups, and what not. I think for a new business trying to get off the ground they are doing just fine. My cupcake was extremely tasty and they didn't skimp on the frosting, peanut butter cup topping and the cake was moist. I will be back! read more

Overpriced, artificial flavors, dry cupcakes. A disappointment and waste of money. read more

Cupcake Gallery - a variety of cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

Awful cupcakes! I had been craving lemon cupcakes for months and decided to go ahead and give cupcake gallery a try even though i had my doubts. I wish I hadn't wasted 17 dollars for the half dozen of their so called " cupcakes"! They must be using cheap ingredients or something because the cupcakes lacked flavor and contained so much sugar that it made me sick. Forget this place and make your own or just order online from a real cupcakery. :) read more

Cupcakes are delicious. Service is friendly and courteous. The new place is comfy and inviting. Love it!

I think the cupcake craze is overrated, but theirs are very tasty and sortof reasonable ($2 or $2.50 as I recall?). The PB&J is worth trying, and the key lime is a flourescent extravaganza of lime, if that's your thing. Peanut butter and chocolate are my thing. Mmmm. read more

Awesome place to have in Fayetteville! The owners went above and beyond for a special order for us, and they produce a great product-- all the flavors are delicious! A fun, local place to support! read more

I love cake, so I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to baked goods. I'm a fan of Food Network's Cupcake Wars, too, and thought it'd be fun to try an actual cupcake bakery. I was so disappointed. I can't say that Cupcake Gallery's cupcakes were much better than any grocery stores...they were just different. However, I can say that their cupcakes were nothing like anything you can get at an artisan bakery or bake at home. The cake was dry and the icing was really gross. You can definitely taste the shortening in the frosting, which is so unappetizing. My main complaint is that their focus is on cupcakes, and they fail. Try harder Cupcake Gallery! The atmosphere was OK. Although it is a family owned business, I really didn't like the family hanging out and not working while I was trying to enjoy my cupcake. The business office setup in the dining area is a big turn-off. read more
