My sisters is the lemon cream pie, but always manages to eat my favorites as well, these are the best cupcakes in the bay, enjoy!!!!! read more

Literally thee best cupcakes & cakes in the Bay. I'll never order from anywhere else. Absolutely delicious - every single time.

I think I ordered just about every flavor of cupcake they had yesterday, and they were all amazing! There was a lemon pie and key lime pie that both had a graham cracker crust as well as filling and frosting. Chocolate is usually my favorite, and all the chocolate cupcakes were superb, but the vanilla berry cupcake might have been my favorite. The vanilla cake itself was amazing, with a nice tender crumb so that it was moist and delicious, and it wasn't too sweet, which I loved. It had a fresh strawberry filling and light buttercream on top. This is definitely my new go to dessert spot! read more

So delicious everyone loved their cupcake, also the shop is inside the Swans Market I was lost for a minute but it was my first time and will definitely be back. read more

See all

Love, love, love these cupcakes. they are moist w/the perfect amount of frosting, and the frosting is well-balanced w/o being cloyingly sweet. Our family's favorite is the red velvet and thank goodness, even during SIP, cupcakin' is keeping us supplied. my husband does this disgusting thing after he finishes where he chews the wrapper bc he wants to inhale every single morsel, if that's not the ultimate endorsement. also - last but not least, I'm so happy to support a woman, POC owned business. thank you cupcakin'! read more

Best key lime pie I've ever tasted in the form of a cupcake. Visually appealing as well. Go get you some!

I wish I wouldve took a pic before I ate them I got the vanilla salted caramel cupcake & the red velvet. The were soooooo good and moist!!!! read more

So - this one is a bummer. I really wanted to support Local, so for a birthday party, sight unseen, I decided to order 80 mini cupcakes for a party. I ordered them with the appropriately time, and received them when I was supposed to. All of that was great, delivery was quite expensive, but I figure that is on me. Where I struggle is that one of the cupcake flavors was legitimately bad. I think it was made incorrectly, or that something was missing, and, although I was offered remediation... The remediation would not have even covered, the cost of the cupcakes that were not good unless I spent hundreds of MORE dollars at the shop. refunding just the poor cupcakes would have sufficed - and led me to order from them again. To spend a premium price and not get premium service, not something I will be doing again. buyer beware read more

I am currently enjoying a slice of Cupcakin' cake leftover from my husband's birthday party last night. OMG - this cake was not only delicious, but GORGEOUS. Everyone at the party was blown away by both how beautiful it was and how amazing it tasted! We got a 9" cookies and cream cake, with ombre blue frosting to look like waves. They knocked it out of the park! And the entire process, from order to pickup, was simple and seamless. Their cake choices are fabulous and I can't wait to try more! If you need a cake, look no further. read more

The mini key lime and lemon are good, but the others are just okay. My kids got the red velvet and they didn't finish it. I came around 7pm on a weekday, there was one employee and she wasn't very helpful or friendly. I stood there for 5 minutes before calling her over for help, I think she was just sweeping. She never acknowledged me or even looked up. I would come back for the mini key lime and lemon, but the regular size one wasn't that good. read more

Just spoke with Ella, I hope that's how her name is spelled but she was amazing and super patient with all of my questions. I am currently planning a wedding and for those that have been there, you know the stress of finding the right bakery but with that being said I am super relaxed and happy with the customer service that she provided me with. I feel she didn't skip a beat, super informative and proactive. Thank you so much! read more

When I tell you these are addicting, please believe me ! The flavors meld together so wonderfully. The customer service is always fantastic & I love the fact that the Oakland location is a place that I used to frequent as a child-Swan's Market ! Thank you for bringing Cupcakin' to The Town ! read more

Cupcakin' Bake Shop - Vanilla Bourbon Madagascar, S'mores & Salted Caramel Vanilla & Chocolate - Cupcakes Near Me - Oakland, California

Out of this world! My life will never be the same. The most moist, delicious cupcakes I have ever experienced. For my birthday party, a friend showed up with a dozen of these cupcakes. I have never tasted cupcakes so moist and delicious. The red velvet was divine. I don't know how they make the chocolate salted caramel taste like such a deliciously cake version of an actual salted caramel. I'm strictly a chocolate girl, but I had the key lime pie cupcake and it tasted and felt exactly like Key Lime Pie. I am now a Cupcakin' Evangelist and will never be able to have any other cupcakes again. read more

Dear Cupcakin' You're cupcakes are amazing!! So moist and tender with the perfect amount of frosting. My favorites are the key lime and salted caramel vanilla. Please don't ever stop making cupcakes! You are my new "go-to" place for any occasion. read more

Love it! I had the salted caramel chocolate. Great cupcake. I think this place is in a bad location though. You smell raw fish and tacos from the adjacent restaurants if you stay and eat the cupcake inside read more

Yo Believe the hype, best cupcakes in the streets!! Get there early because the Carrot Cupcakes which are by far superior to any other carrot cupcake I've experienced sells out. read more

I have was going to give it one star due to service. I purchased two cupcakes for two people and when I asked for it to be boxes separately, they wanted to charge me an extra .50 cents. I asked if I purchased one now and one a few minute later, she then would package them separately. The cupcakes are already 3.75 each. Though the cupcakes are good, I will not return. read more

Best cupcakes in town, hands down. Their chocolate salted caramel cake is just to die for!!! I can't wait to get that one for my birthday in August. Very easy to order ahead online on their website, or simply walk in and buy whatever you see on display in the window. read more

Great phone service for a birthday order. They were clear on the cost, options, and pick up window and procedure. Picked up items with no fuss. Only complaint was having to sign with a community pen for the order, I prefer places to have a new/used pot of pens for single use. read more

Litterly the best cupcakes. I come from Vallejo just to get them. The staff could be a little friendlier. Ive met two or three different staff and their attitude was just ok. But whatever, I go for cupcakes not friendships. Ive had at least 6 different flavors and they were ALL GOOD! read more

We stumbled upon this cupcake shop today so after we had lunch around the corner, we came over and grabbed a few to take home (June's flavor of the month - s'mores, funfetti, key lime, and carrot cake). The cupcakes are gorgeous AND so delicious. The two ladies working behind the counter today were so sweet and courteous. We will definitely be back! read more

The best cupcakes to exist on earth. Omgosh I've been craving a celebration dessert after passing a huge audit at work. I found this place after a failed attempt to pick up cupcakes in Danville (I have a review for that place). You cannot go wrong with any of the flavors from this bakery read more

Amazing that's all I can say I mean every time I go it's a hit. Very moist, consistent flavor. Can't wait for my next event so I can have them make my cake. read more

They already have a superior product in the cupcake space! I send vibes of success and abundance to this business! Thank you! read more

My sister and I came here not knowing anything about it. I got the lemon cream pie and my sister got the red velvet. I'm not a huge cupcake fan but this was probably the best cupcake I've ever had. The lemon frosting was so light, creamy and tangy, the cake melted it was so moist, and there was a graham cracker crust that was unexpected and added to the full pie experience, but in a cupcake. I definitely want to come back to try more of their flavors. My sister loved the red velvet too. read more

I was happy to place an order with CupCakin for my special needs grandson's 14th they were recommend by my brother-in-law. I play the order then realized I made a mistake with the order. I attempted to go back into my account that I had made with them but it had no record of my account. So, I called and left two messages one at the Shattack store then at the Telegraph store. I called the next day to confirm the mistake with hopes the would h their policy which they did not. I was told they had not checked the messages so I could no change my order. So Customers be aware they don't honor their policy read more

I had one of their cupcakes at an event recently (okay, 3) and I literally can't stop thinking about them! That Lemon Cream Pie one tho!!

Amazingly delicious omg!!! I got multiple flavors for a party and everyone was so happy. The cherry on top is getting to support a local Black-owned business. I also got the gluten free one - I wish they had more gluten free flavors. read more

Absolutely insanely delicious. I don't have words for the experience that I had eating those cupcakes. They were just so moist & jam packed with flavor. read more

Bad experience! Cupcakes are good, but service is bad. We called in ordered 4 dozens mini cupcakes for next day pick up. When We go to pick up they put all together in one boxes. We asked for can you put separate boxes for each dozen. She told us she can't. She have to charge $1 for each empty box. I have no choice, because this is a gift for different people. I have to pay extra $3. I really don't understand when we called in order how come they don't tell us you will put all together. You should let customer know. Why you need for $1 for each box? This is your fault. read more

I love your cupcakes and they are the best that I have ever had, but today your employee at the register was wearing her mask around her chin not covering her nose or mouth. At one point she coughed into her mask, but given that it was not being worn properly part of her mouth was exposed read more
