Just received a surprise delivery from work colleague. Wow! What a nice surprise for my Friday afternoon. They're delicious and flavors are spot on. Thank you!! read more

ALCOHOLIC CUPCAKES!!!!! It's like the universe was looking in on my life and created the perfect union of my guilty pleasures.* Peanut butter and jelly? For the kiddos. Chocolate and peanut butter? Ho hum. Booze and baked goods? Now you're talking! GP caught my eye with the frosting. Walking into the Encore Liquid Lounge (which sells a good its a$$ can't cash, but that's another thing), I was hypnotized by these strange blue cupcakes. Anyone who reads my reviews knows I can't resist anything colored blue, purple or red, so I had to know what was up. Imagine my surprise when I discovered by blue hypnosis was due to Hpnotiq cupcakes! You read that correctly: BLUE cupcakes made with and tasted like Hpnotiq. And, yes, you could get a buzz. Well, you know I had to have one. Or, 8. Tracey, the owner, is rightfully proud of her product and after we got to talking how I was going to be her new best friend/stalker, she made sure I left with a small box of the baked goods. Lest you think, however, that I am not klassy and only fall head over heels for blue treats, I'll have you know that I gorged on: cognac, amaretto, apple martini (GREEN with apple bits on the inside!), and strawberry margarita (keep me near the cross; these made me go on a mama-slapping rampage that was only quieted by passing out from the sheer rip-your-clothes-off goodness at eating a strawberry cake, topped with berry/tequila frosting and filled with boozy berries treat). Don't sit in judgement of me: you would have done the same thing.. and I might have been drunk from cupcakes (first time for everything!). These truly are guilty pleasures but don't wait too long to deny yourself. What's life without some indulgence? *Well, not *all* of them. Ohh yeahhh!!! read more

This is my 1st time writing a review on here but these cupcakes are that good!! I contacted Tracey (the owner) a year ago because i wanted soemthing different for my birthday dinner party She immediately scheduled a tasting for myself and 2 friends. These cupcakes are so good the only bad part about them is choosing a flavor!! I ended up ordering a few dozen of the minis and she even delivered them. My friends cant wait til my birthday this year to see if i have some more of these tasty treats. read more

Cupcakes tasted okay but the images on the site were incredibly misleading. The cupcakes were tiny and over priced. Expected to purchase 6 cupcakes for my sister's birthday but they were so small, we had to go out and buy regular cupcakes to replace. Was a complete waste of money. read more

Tracey is very helpful. She's been patient with me from beginning to end. I found her on yelp about a month ago and knew right away she would be the perfect person to go to for the dessert for my graduation dinner. First, my fiance and I did a tasting at her house. It was $10 and we shared everything we tasted. I loved how she welcomed us in and let us taste everything. I also found out she does (wedding) cakes!! Anyway, I ended up deciding on Strawberry Margarita, Hypnotic, Vanilla Vodka, Bailey's Chocolate and Caramel for my alcoholic cupcakes, and Eggnog and Red Velvet for the virgin cupcakes. All of them were awesome! I will definitely come back to Tracey in the future. There's nothing better than getting great customer service and great products in one place. read more

Heard about this place from a living social deal. The owner tracey is very nice. i placed my order for delivery with no problems. There is a $10 delivery feel. The flavors of the cupcakes were good but i felt the cake was a bit dry. Maybe i like my cupcakes too moist. She is very creative and the cupcakes are nicely decorated. Just not sure i would order from here again. There was also a 4 hour delivery window. So I couldn't do anything as it came by the 3 and a half hour mark of the 4 hours. read more

Guilty Pleasurez Cocktail Cupcakes - virgin cupcakes, apple martini, orange crush, chocolate caramel - Desserts Near Me

Do not order from here! The cupcakes are deceptively small! All of the photos on the website and grubhub are falsely advertised to make them look bigger than they really are. For $2.50 a cupcake it is a complete rip-off. Giving this place a one-star to compensate for all the high reviews read more

Wow! That is all I can say about these cupcakes. I called Tracey on a Friday morning to talk about the possibility of making cupcakes for my daughters' bridal shower. A few hours later I had in my possession 5 dozen PERFECT cocktail cupcakes. They are a work of art and the TASTE, my gosh, it was like eating a cocktail. She prides herself on the initial "aroma", the "look" and the final "taste". THESE WERE HIT! The girls had fun figuring which cupcake was associated with what drink. Tracey was great to work with, very friendly, patient with my inability to decide about which flavors and how many to order. We also me her mother! What a wise, articulate women. She has such a unique product, perfect in every way! Tracey, you should be on the "Shark-Tank" show. I am sure everyone would be fighting over your product! You could open stores EASILY and sell out on a daily basis! Good luck to you, I am sure I will be running to Bolingbrook again for a few dozen more in the near future! Rehearsal Dinner???!!!! Be prepared....:) read more

This is the second time I ordered cupcakes. Once again, I was not disappointed. The cupcake itself is very tasty. Each has an appropriate amount of liquor. Not overwhelming and definitely not faint. I will order again for my special occasions or just because. Perfect for bridal showers, weddings and even birthdays. Very reasonably priced as well. I look forward to seeing what creations she comes up with in the future. read more

Guilty Pleasurez Cocktail Cupcakes - My top favorite is the Strawberry Margarita. Yuuummy!! - Desserts Near Me

It's a little disconcerting when yours and everyone's review that was negative is taken down from yelp for absolutely no reason. I know for a fact there was two other people who had similar experiences to mine and there reviews as well as mine were removed. So I will go ahead and write my review again. I purchased two Groupons for this place based on all the epic reviews on this site. I called a week ahead of when I would need the cupcakes and the woman chose a different date for me to pick up the cupcakes and limited me to 4 Flavors I could choose from. I asked if I could have them in 2 weeks instead of a week and she told me they were already booked. I'm not sure if I believed her, I had a feeling she just wanted me to use my groupon ASAP before the deadline started coming up and more people with groupons began contacting her. Despite all this, I was optimistic. I agreed to pick up the cupcakes on the day that worked for her (did not work well for me) and picked 3 out of the 4 Flavors she offered me: strawberry margarita, apple martini, and baileys chocolate and caramel. When I picked up the cupcakes, I could tell they had been frozen previously. I kind of thought that was strange since I would assume a normal bakery would give you fresh cupcakes/breads/etc. The 1 star rating is based purely on the cupcakes taste (not customer service): quite simply, the cupcakes were dry and bland. They were decorated beautifully (minus the withered strawberries on top of the strawberry margarita cupcakes which I am sure was from them being frozen for so long) however nedo one enjoyed their cupcakes. Not even a little. We ended up tossing them out. If I didn't get such a laugh watching my friends try to be polite about the cupcakes at first, I might have been embarrassed. However, we got quite the chuckle out of it. I can't help think that these cupcakes might have been decent if they were not old and placed in the freezer, but I guess I will never know. I did not even bother using my second Groupon. read more

The mini cocktail cupcakes and devil's food whiskey cake were perfect for my father-in-law's 80th birthday party! Many compliments, generated lots of anticipation and there were no left overs. Moist and fresh and so surprisingly tasty the flavors were perfectly balanced. Tracey delivered an amazingly large variety of flavors. Guests will talk about these very unique creations for a long time. read more

See all

Absolutely fantastic cupcakes! Tracey, the owner, has really come up with a fantastic concept. The cupcakes almost look too nice to eat and they taste as good as they look. Cocktail cupcakes and virgin cupcakes are both excellent. Do yourself a favor and get an assortment! read more

These cupcakes are AMAZING !!!! I've tried the pina colada and the rumchata cocktail cupcakes and both were GREAT !!! I hope the owner get a store location soon . U will see me everyday lol . read more

Tracey is so wonderful. She helped me arrange a surprise delivery of cupcakes to my husband while he was staying in Bolingbrook for work. She nicely hand-wrote a card with my message on it and it looked like she really took the time to make it look nice. The cupcakes were delivered on time to the hotel, without my husband seeing anything or being aware of anything before they were delivered to his door. He LOVED the cupcakes, couldn't pick a favorite. I'll definitely be recommending Guilty Pleaurez cupcakes to his colleagues! read more

These were hands down THE BEST cupcakes I have EVER had & I'd like to consider myself a bit of a connoisseur. You cannot go wrong. Tried a sampling of mini cocktail cupcakes and still can't decide which was my favorite because they're all THAT good. I will be a repeat frequent customer for life!!!!! Customers come first here, something hard to find. Great communication from start to finish, ended up getting in an accident on my way to get my order (which she was able to accommodate for last minute, which should be a 5 star review in itself) and was able to pick them up the next day with 0 issues and Tracey took the time to make sure I was ok. Love Tracey! Love Her Art! Don't even think about it! Just order! :) read more

These were some of the best cupcakes I have ever had. They were so moist and yummy that I can't stop thinking about them. I would recommend the strawberry margarita, Baileys chocolate and caramel and the amaretto. Tracey was an absolute pleasure to work with and I am so happy we found her! We will be ordering these cupcakes for every ocassion! read more

My friend uses Tracy and referred me. I was very excited to order from her. I had a friends birthday so I thought this would be a perfect item to bring to the party! Well was I wrong! I ordered the cupcakes and had it set up for me to pick up at the Chicago location that was online. When I got to the bbq place they had no clue about it and said they weren't a location yet for pick up. I showed the lady working there my email conformation and she called right away. Tracy's husband said yeah he wasn't going to have them there. No one ever called me to let me know that the cupcakes weren't going to be delivered to the store!! I scheduled a 2:30 time and was there at 2:30. Funny thing is she called me the day prior to make sure that I was going to that location! I went to my car to call her, she ignored my call. I immediately called my friend who got in touch with her. She told her that she didn't even have all the flavors I wanted! How unprofessional! A call telling me this would have been nice. I wouldn't have had to drive out of my way, and I could have figured out something else. The cupcakes were delivered none of the flavors that I ordered. Tracy never called me back to apologize or anything. And yes I was still charged the full amount for the cupcakes! read more

Guilty Pleasurez Cocktail Cupcakes were a referral to me by a venue I was thinking of hosting my 40th birthday at. Although I didn't go with the venue I did call Tracey of Gulity Pleasurez and place an order. She was easy to communicate of the phone and very descriptive of each cupcake that she offers. The prices were reasonable, delivery was prompt and the display was awesome. The fact that name cards were added for guest read what they were eating before grabbing for the pretty one was an added bonus. Some cupcakes had more punch than opthers but Tracey did explain to me that would be the case. The mocktail cupcakes were a hit as well; very light and moist. I have already recommend Guily Pleasurez to others and will continue to do so. Tracey you Rock! Yolanda Calumet Park by way of Chicago read more

I ordered from Guilty Pleasurez for my graduation/birthday party and Tracey definitely delivered. She offered a plethora of different flavors that I could choose from and was a complete professional. The cupcakes were delicious and my guests definitely agreed. I would highly recommend Guilty Pleasurez for your bakery needs and I will definitely be contacting Tracey in the future. read more

Guilty Pleasurez Cocktail Cupcakes - a display of cupcakes - Desserts Near Me

The cupcakes were NOT good, they weren't moist and the liquor taste was nonexistent. Tracey, the owner acted as if I was bothering her to order. I had very restricted pick up time because everything was Inconvient for her. I paid over $50 for one dozen. What a waste of money. read more

I ordered a dozen cupcakes to bring to a holiday party. I was so excited to try them based on all the rave reviews. I knew when ordering it said mini-cupcakes but i guess i just didn't realize how small they would be. They are TINY. And for $2.50 a cupcake, so not worth it. I was embarrassed to be walking into this party with these tiny cupcakes, so I had to run out to the store to buy something to go along with it. They tasted fine, nothing special, and I couldn't taste the alcohol. Won't be ordering again. read more

I consider myself to be a cupcake connoisseur and have had cupcakes from the city's biggest names (Crumbs, Molly's, Sprinkles, Swirlz, More... just to name a few) and I must say, I was impressed by Guilty Pleasurez. Not only are the flavors delicious, but the cupcakes are beautifully decorated. The owner/baker Tracey is beyond nice and responsive and super creative. If she doesn't have a flavor listed, it does NOT mean she can't do it for you. Her cupcakes really added something special to my birthday celebration. Oh, and for the nondrinkers, her nonalcoholic cupcakes are equally as good. You won't be disappointed. read more

I called about 5 hours prior to needing a half dozen cup cakes and they were made! Not only so fast, but some of the best cup cakes I have ever had. I think if they had a store front, they would put most other cup cake stores out of business. These are that good! Will definitely be going back here for more!! read more

I'm not sure what the hype is about - seriously! I've experienced much better service and better tasting cupcakes from a grocery store, unfortunately. I'll elaborate... To begin, the ordering process was a nightmare. Apparently, a customer is ONLY able to get cupcakes at the owner's convenience. I had a Groupon and attempted to follow the rule of placing an order of at least 72 hours in advance. I called on a Wednesday to place an order for the upcoming Saturday. The "order taker" (an older woman, who I found out later was not Tracey) promptly halted me by explaining that "they already have a lot of orders for Saturday". Ummmm, ok. I tried to ask if they were open Sunday, and again was stopped almost mid-sentence. She interrupted to tell me that "tomorrow would be better for THEM", even though my order was for pick-up, not delivery. I was caught off-guard, but nevertheless, foolishly continued the conversation. I then told her that I had a Groupon. "SIGHHHH" was the response I received. She flatly asked me to read the Groupon and tell her the Groupon number. I complied, but at that point felt that she was beyond annoyed. I told her that it didn't expire for a month and would be happy to place my order at a more CONVENIENT time. She pretty much shot down that idea as well by telling me that they'll be busy with orders for other people with the same Groupon trying to beat the expiration date. Alllllrighty...finally on with my (gulp) order. She asked what flavors I wanted. I asked what was available and wanted a description of each. She replied "haven't you been on the website?" I was literally speechless. I whispered no, but explained I'd take "whatever" at this point. So I ordered lemon drop, amaretto, and bailey's chocolate & caramel. She asked when I planned to serve the cupcakes. I told her Saturday and SHE decided for ME that my cupcakes would be frozen when I picked them up. I immediately told her that I'd rather have them fresh. Again, she felt that frozen would be better regardless of my preference as the customer. :-( Then, SHE arranged the pick up time. She asked what time would I be able to get there. I told her between 4:00-4:30. She told me that 5:00 would be better for them - why ask me then?!! Of course I agreed (out of fear) and showed up promptly at 5pm ON THURSDAY. I received my FROZEN cakes, along with defrosting & storage instructions. I followed both to the "T" and was LESS than impressed. Out of the 3 flavors, only the bailey's was barely edible. All were extremely dry and had an awful FREEZER taste...hmmm I wonder why?!! The frosting was cloyingly sweet & the unsavory FREEZER taste overpowered any hint of alcohol. They didn't taste fresh at all. I ended up trashing the rest - NINE cupcakes, to be exact. I'm all for supporting local businesses, but I expect an acceptable level of professionalism, outstanding customer service, and a superior product. Sorry, Tracey, you seemed like a nice lady (from our very brief interaction) but I will NOT return to your unprofessional "business". Good luck... read more

All of my adult siblings were in town for Christmas and we wanted to have a get together with all of our friends. I heard of Guilty Pleasurez via Yelp and Facebook reviews. Tracey is amazing! I called her and she had an assortment of cupcakes ready for me within 2 hours. I picked up my cupcakes from her house and she explained the flavors to me and gave me instructions to keep the cupcakes moist. The cupcakes were a hit with my siblings and our friends. I tried the Hypnotic and the Strawberry Margarita cupcakes and they were delicious. I will be back whenever I have a party or get-together. read more

These cupcakes are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! The best I have ever tasted. I took 2 dozen of the virgin cupcakes to a birthday party and everyone enjoyed them. All the cakes taste exactly like the flavors they should. Theywere moist with a perfect texture and beautifully decorated. There are so many flavors to choose from, Lemon Drop was my favorite. I will be ordering more in the future. read more

My friend and I bought a strawberry margarita cake for a friend's birthday and I went back for a lemon drop for another friend's b.day. One word: Delicious!! Tracey makes awesome cakes (and pretty too) and everyone wanted a slice. This will definitely be a place where I'll buy specialty (alcohol infused cakes and cupcakes) for special events in the future. read more

I ordered 2 dozen cupcakes from here, because it was on Living Social. I have never tasted such dry cupcakes in my life. I drive all over the city and suburbs looking for the best, this was horrible. They could not fill my order because they said I did not give enough notice(2 weeks) how much time do you need?? They were having an event the same day so I had to take what ever they ordered to fill my order. Which was fine, the usual chocolate, vanilla, red velvet. The frosting on the cupcakes were hard and the dough was very very dry. I was choking on them . Decided to taste the red velvet same thing and no flavor at all. Will never order from this company again. Very disappointed. read more

great cupcakes!!! great service, will definitely order from guilty pleasurez again!!. terrific concept!!!
