I wish I had taken pictures of these cupcakes, they were so impressive in the box of 12. I took a dozen to a friend's house and they opened the box and it was like Christmas!! The cupcakes were so nicely packed and aesthetically pleasing and even better, absolutely delicious!! None of the cupcakes I tried were too sweet and some were stuffed! The staff is so nice and helpful and they were so patient with my indecisiveness at the store. They have so many flavors it is hard to decide. I chose a mix of chocolate and vanilla cake based cupcakes and they were all delicious. One that stood out in particular was the cheesecake cupcake- it was amazing. Can't wait to go back! read more

Insanely delicious moist and Flavourful cupcakes and cakes! They can do no wrong, this is the type of place where the baked good are soo good you don't think about carbs or calories you just say, " we'll cross that bridge when we get there!" The price is reasonable only because these are EXCELLENT cakes (33 bucks for a dozen). I spend most of my life trying out bakeries, it is my pastime- trust me, you will not be disappointed. There's no private parking but those are small inconveniences for a taste of Heaven. Everything else is a blur, as I can't really think straight after biting into one of these endorphin producing cakes. read more

We tried Cupcakes by Carousel for a birthday and we enjoyed the cake options. We tried the Oprah Magazine favorites: Blue Velvet and Memphis Drizzle. They both were unique and tasty. We didn't try the cupcakes, so cannot speak to them. One issue with the cakes, however, that doesn't let this rise beyond four stars is that they make the cakes in their Nanuet location, and then freeze them. You actually cannot order a fresh cake, which is odd. Upon calling in an order, they start to thaw out the cake. They recommend keeping it thawed for two hours, at least before serving. read more

I can always count on their blue velvet cupcakes (or cake for gatherings) to make my day that much better. The buttercream frosting is the perfect consistency. Love love this bakery so much. I always tell my friends about it read more

One star and I haven't even cut cake till 1pm this afternoon. Here's the problem I hope everyone will consider when ordering a special event cake #1 : The cupcake shops are supposed to order specialty cakes if you want to pick it up on Ridgewood. The girls that work there have to check w the mother ship on everything in Nanuet NY. Annoying train your help accordingly period ! #2 I ordered a sheet style cake and was denied having these flowers told they couldn't put them on the cake I ordered.A true artist never says NO WHEN A CUSTOMER SAYS MONEY IS NO OBJECT ITS A 90th bday for my husbands mom.. The amount of avenues to find these flowers is endless w the internet #3 They told me they were going to put a white choc plate with the H90 BD MOM NANNIE THIS CAKE IS 11x16 & they put a piece of choc that is no bigger that a business card. So to have it even partially right b4 I decorate this cake myself I had to go all the way to Nanuet to get a proper sash that I'm my opinion is nothing still compared to what this will look like when I'm done. THIS IS NO FLY BY NIGHT BAKERY !! The idea that anyone thought sending a cake out this size w a business card size piece of choc for the writing in disgraceful & insulting. I still had to go 40min away to partially fix it & there was no offer of monetary compensation for all of their mistakes and my inconvenience The customer service alone is why I'm telling all of you make sure that you Check everything single thing you want f from this bakery that's obviously to big for its britches. COMMON SENSE COST NOTHING WHAT THEY FOUND Appropriate for the size of the cake I ordered means they have no common sense so make sure you exercise yours because I assumed i bakery of their caliber had it together & knew better. When you assume you make an ASS of U & ME. The decorated cake is all me not the bakery .except that sash I had to drive 40 min to get that so a 90 year old woman could read it ! read more

Friendly service. Great variety of cupcakes, all were pretty taste. I especially enjoyed the ones with the infused centers

A coworker got these for a birthday in our office. I thought they were really good. We all basically cut them in pieces and tried different ones. I had the vanilla with chocolate frosting, brownie, strawberry cheesecake, apple pie, carrot cake and cannoli. I think the strawberry cheesecake or the apple pie were my favorites. I would return read more

Delicious cupcakes! Cutely decorated and friendly service. I would definitely recommend

When my sweet tooth comes a calling, I immediately drive down the street to Cupcakes by Carousel and order my favorite Blackout cupcake. It is a moist chocolate cupcake topped with dark chocolate pudding and dusted with cake crumbs. The curious george comes in as a close second. Their red velvet is their most popular cupcake but I have not yet tried it out. It is a bit pricey with most cupcakes costing $2.75. They do have a love card which gets punched every visit. After 10 visits you get a free cupcake and large coffee or small tea or juice box. Besides cupcakes they also have cakes on site but if you want them custom made with writing on top you must order them a few days in advance. The shop is bright with bold colors splashed everywhere. It is kept clean and everyone is very helpful. Also they are gluten-free friendly! read more

I love walking into this place! Every time it lights up my day. Whether it's for picking up cupcakes for a special occasion or just an impromptu sweets trip, there's a fantastic selection in the shop. Very affordable here and it's my go-to cupcake shop these days. I haven't tried their cakes yet, but in time I hope to! One of my favorites is the s'mores cupcake, whenever they have it. read more

Cakes from here have become a mini tradition for each of my friend's birthday. Love the fact that you can come and pick up cupcakes if you are just in the mood for a sweet treat without having to pay for a whole cake and still have the same flavor and freshness. Blue velvet is my favorite and the coconut cake. Delicious! Parking is scarce in the area, so come prepare. read more

World's best gluten free cupcake. It was refrigerated/thawing, so I let it warm up while I sat in traffic all the way down to Newark. Highly recommend that strategy, makes rush hour go by much faster. The gals at the counter seemed disappointed that I wanted the gf cupcake because they "only had chocolate, with vanilla or chocolate frosting." To that I say, you sell the world's best gluten free cupcake. Don't apologize. No, you don't have all the gorgeous varieties you do of regular cupcakes, but this was absolutely worth the $4 or whatever it was I paid. Paired with Whose Coffee cappuccino, it was a good day in Autumnland. read more

Amazing bakery!! Their cakes are insanely good and also beautifully decorated! My favorites are the blue velvet cake and their blondies. I highly recommend this bakery for anyone looking for some amazing baked goods!! read more

Picked up a dozen and a half for a coworker who is leaving for a new position and oh my my my! The cupcakes, in the words of my coworkers, look like pieces of art. Too beautiful to eat but also too good not to eat. This place is a gem. So, if anyone needs a quick office idea or just want to bring some delicious goodies home with them, this place is it! read more

I love this place! Desserts are something I only have when I feel the calories are worth it. And Cupcakes By Carousel are worth the calories! Enjoyed the "Snowball" because I love coconut cake. Happiness is a visit to Akai Sushi (one block from the Englewood cupcake store), followed by a visit to Cupcakes By Carousel. read more

Delightful variety of fresh, gorgeous, delectable cupcakes -- actually more like mini-cakes, since many of them were intricately layered with wonderful concoctions of ingredients, and are rich enough to be cut in two and shared. These cupcakes were a real hit over the holidays with family and friends! read more

I really like the cupcakes here because they are both delicious and affordable! They have a good variety of flavors that are well decorated. The cake is usually moist and the always relievers on the flavor it says it is. Recently tried a strawberry banana stuffed cupcake which was delicious. They are usually about $2 which you can't beat! read more

My friend from Bergenfield brought me here after a disastrous vanilla cupcake at Zai's Dessertery. I lost all faith in vanilla cupcakes after making myself throw it up, until I had a Tie Dye at Cupcakes By Carousel. It was absolutely delicious, fresh and beautifully decorated!!! The service was pleasant and I will be coming back!!! read more

Eh, not a fan. These were emergency cupcakes that I needed for my two tikes. My son was celebrating his birthday, and I needed something small to blow a candle out to. I think it was the hard dried out icing that did it for me. And the kids flat out didn't like it, "mommy I don't like it" were their exact words. When a toddler opposes a chance at sweets, then something has to be wrong. read more

Delicious is how I will start this review. I had the pleasure of experiencing the blue velvet and banana nut. Best cupcakes I have tasted. They travel well and taste great even days after read more

These cupcakes are great all the kids loved them. The staff is very friendly. This is the 2nd year I had cupcakes made I will definitely come back next year thanks guys read more

I was a bit disappointed a couple of weeks ago when I ordered a cake from Cupcakes By Carousel & when I went to pick up my cake it was nothing like what I had ordered. I went in to order a cake about 5 days before the date I needed it for & was told that it was too late to order a cake that was decorated using fondant. I understood... (although on a different occasion was told the cutoff time was 3 days before at I believe 12pm) so I stayed in the store looking for a new idea of a cake that would work out for both me & the time restrictions. I discussed a new cake with one of the girls working & was told that the next day I would get a call confirming the order. I did get a call, again saying that my idea would not be possible because of the color I wanted (I wanted part of the cake to be black) again I understood & once again I came up with a new idea. This time I e-mailed the store & got an e-mail back staring that they would confirm the order with the bakery. Later I got a call saying that my idea would be possible. I wanted a white,black & yellow frosted cake (I will insert photo). When I went to pick up my cake i was given a plain white frosted cake. At no point was I told that the cake would be plain white. At no point did I ever tell the employee I spoke to that I would do with a plain white frosted cake. When I spoke to the girl for the last time the only detail that was discussed was the fact that the cake would be $10 more if I went with a 2 layer cake like the picture. I explained that I only needed a one layer cake. The girls that work there are super nice & while i tried not to be rude I did express my disappointment at the time of pick up. I had no option but to leave the store with the cake I was given since I had a party starting just a couple of hours later... on top of buying the cake I had to also buy some supplies to try & decorate my own cake. read more

The cupcakes were pretty and a box of 12 was comparable to the price of a cake from King's. However, the good decorations did not carry through to the taste and no one from our birthday party liked it. Not sure if the cupcakes were light on flavors or just were not fresh, our guests did not like them - and most took only 1 bite. I probably will not go back but will get the supermarket cake for the next birthday party. read more

I tried 2 flavors - Lemon and Mocha, and this was my first visit. Pros: the price was fair and the packaging was cute. The icing is fluffy and airy (I think they whip it) and not heavy. The lemon was pretty darn good! Oh, and there really isn't a place to sit. But that's okay because there's a starbucks just around the corner. Cons: The batter part of the cupcake pretty much tasted like the ones you get out of a cake mix from your local supermarket. This was especially for the Mocha flavored one, the Lemon Coconut was pretty tasty I must say. I hate to say this, as it makes me seem to support retail chains more, but they naturally can't beat Magnolia. Though I must say, the ingredients do seem lower fat with the splenda and whipped icing instead of heavy buttery icing! read more

I used to be obsessed with this place. Their cupcakes were good and key lime pie was AMAZING. Now the key lime pie is just ok and has to be ordered way in advance. The cupcakes is where they have really dropped in quality. Every time in that past two years that I have gotten their cupcakes, they were either stale or mehhh. I don't even bother any more. Too many disappointing experiences. Oh and I have gotten a chocolate cake a few months ago that was disgusting and had to be thrown out. read more

I stumbled upon this little cupcake shop and thought sure, why not? The space is cute and the counter folk were friendly. I tried the red velvet and a few mini's to go. Overall the cupcakes were decent, good even..fabulous? Hmm, I wouldn't go that far but tasty enough, the cake was moist and thoughtfully decorated. I'm definitely open to trying them again though the next time I'm traveling through this part of NJ. read more

This was my first time but definitely will not be my last. I probably got there a little before 7 but they had a large variety to choose from. I got a total of 6 but only tasting half of 2 so far and they were the BEST cupcakes I have tasted in a long time. I read one review and I wanted to taste the blue velvet. I am so glad I did! It was sooo moist and delicious. I happened to be in the area so I decided to try them out. It is located a little further from me than I would like but it will be worth the trek. read more

Very good cupcakes! However, they need to work on their customer service. The young ladies that work there never greet or thank me for my business. That alone will keep me from NOT returning. read more

Delicious. The only word that comes to mind when I think of the cake we had for my son's birthday. Everyone raved and wanted a piece to take home. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is due to the fact that I ordered 6 sprinkle cupcakes and got 6 with flowers on them. If I was the one picking up the order I would have said something, but my husband had no idea...yet thought it was weird that I ordered flower cupcakes for our sons birthday. Oh well, lesson learned. Next time we will check the order before we leave. We will be back again. Thank you so much. read more

I love cupcakes and this place is right around the corner from my job and every Tuesday we send one of the valets to grab us some cupcakes because every Tuesday is $2 Tuesday. All the cupcakes just $2. They have such a great variety to choose from but my favorite is the Strawberry Cheesecake one mmmm. All of them are delicious and worth a try. The workers are friendly and love to answer any of your questions. They also have something I've never seen before a blue velvet cupcake. Very Tasty. They have things called icing shots which is pretty much self explanatory (sugar overdose) Go try one out next Tuesday! Hey its only $2 read more

I can't believe some of the reviews on here!! I was having a legit craving for cupcakes after missing out on the wildly popular Georgetown cupcakes, so I was determined to find something in my area. Super cute store, very friendly and knowledgeable staff with the most delicious and moist cupcakes topped with the perfect amount of frosting that was not overly sweet. I can't rave enough. We got the blue and red velvet and the chocolate mousse! All three were winners but the velvets are something I know I'll be craving again soon. Also, Tuesday's are $2 cupcakes which was a win win for a first time patron. read more

LOVE these cupcakes, a tad pricey, but a good treat! The Red Velvet is top notch, however the PB cup is my hands down favorite! They do a twist on a chocolate hostess cupcake that is also great. Maywood Market sell them on the side, but for the same price & they are often stale, so be careful. read more

Not only do the cupcakes LOOK awesome, they TASTE awesome too! Key Lime, Brownie, Napoleon, Peanutbutter cup.. the list is endless. So many choices and flavors! Side note: I called for a dozen assorted cupcakes last wed 8/14. Got stuck in horrible traffic and was there after closing. The girls working were so nice to let me in and get my cupcakes! I cant thank you all enough for that! read more

I have given it a 5-star. In my book, the cupcakes are delicious and always fresh. I have ordered cakes several times and they are always moist, fresh, creamy and just the right amount of sugary yumminess. To top all this stuff of, the stores appearance and customer service is always excellent. Making the whole package, amazing!! Adding more to my review, last week for an event I bought 2 Red Velvet cakes, and 1 Blue Velvet cake, - they gotten RAVE reviews and everyone asked for more. read more

Best cupcakes in the area, I love this place, I just wish they were open later but hey its Jersey. Great flavors, unique, and fresh

Ordered cake for mom's 70th birthday party. Bakery was unable to duplicate simple design of a cake posted on their own website. Below are 2 images of what was ordered vs. what I received. Number 70 missing yellow icing, all small flowers missing green leaves, missing several small flowers, 4 large flowers positioned in a row on right side of cake instead of clustered on left side, flower colors far less vibrant than image, etc. Longtime fan of their cupcakes, and staff was pleasant, but custom cake ordering experience was very disappointing. read more

My 3 favorite flavors here are the Curious George, Banana Split, and the Blue Velvet. The Curious George is a vanilla cake with a banana fill in and topped with peanut butter frosting which is then dipped in chocolate and drizzled with caramel. Sounds heavenly, no? The Banana Split is pretty self-explanatory as is the Blue Velvet. I don't know what it is about the blue velvet, but it's light and moist and topped with cream cheese frosting. All of their cupcakes are refrigerated, which makes for a cold cupcake, but is necessary because of the fruit fillings. read more

It was a beautiful sunny Valentine's Day at 2pm when I stopped into the Englewood shop to buy cupcakes for my daughter. I have never encountered such a young miserable person. Not a smile on her face, no response to my pleasant comments. I am so glad my kids were not with me to witness such a horrible attitude. I will go to House of Cupcakes in Clifton before I go there again. I was at the House of Cupcakes just yesterday to get cupcakes for a customer of mine, the people greeted me, they were pleasant, plus they had a much greater variety and a much more pleasant display. Never Again! read more
