    Cupcakes..... variety pack
    Caren F.

    Tasty and moist. The icing was a little too sweet for me. But the cupcake itself was moist. I had the chocolate with the pink frosting in the pic and was yum! It was pretty big so I was able to cut it in 1/2 and save the other 1/2 for later. Service was great. They young lady there was quite welcoming. The place was located next door to a pizza place. So perfect if you had dinner and wanted a dessert. Will def come here again!

    Sooo, Icing on the Cupcake wasn't my first choice for cupcakes, but being out of options, I turned here. I had to interact with several people working here - of the four people, one provided good/friendly customer service. They called me the day before my order pick-up date to tell me they didn't have a flavor I ordered weeks in advance. I told them the flavor I'd replace it with and that was that...there was no, "Sorry for the inconvenience" or "Thank you". After all that, the following day, I found out that they didn't make the update, and they wrote on the receipt "two missing". My mom picked up the order for me and when she saw the receipt, she asked them about it. The employee was confused, asked someone else about it, and then said to pick two from the case. So..l guess if my mom didn't say something I'd be out two cupcakes I had paid for? Later, when l opened the box to set up for the party, I saw they gave me the incorrect flavors for two of them. I don't really love paying for something that's not what I wanted. Just as an FYI, they charge your card as soon as you place the order, rather than the day of pick up like many bakeries/food establishments. Too many strikes for this business. I won't be back. Note: The cupcakes themself taste fine, but not the greatest cupcake I've had; also, definitely not worth the price tag if you're paying for flavors you're not receiving.

    Too Good To Go order

    Came to Icing on the Cupcake for a Too Good To Go order. It's located in downtown and next to / connected to Chicago Fire. Besides cupcakes, they also have brownies and cookies. Street parking only. My Too Good To Go order was a variety of 5 cupcakes. They didn't list what the flavors are, but they look to be: Banana Strawberry Cinnamon/churro Vanilla with chocolate frosting Oreo The cupcakes were a little on the dry side and the frosting was way too sweet, but overall they were good.

    We've been patronizing the IOTCC brand for many years. After a light dinner a sweet tooth kicked and off we went in search of today's cupcake treats. My favorite flavors are Hummingbird, Bee Hive, and Pucker Up. Today I planned to get ONE cupcake. But thanks to Kaylene, who told us the cupcakes were BOGO (we arrived 10 mins before closing). So! We got enough for the house, plus some! Caramel Macchiato, Mocha, Carrot, Pucker Up, Vanilla, and Pink Delicious was our winners dozen for the day. Got home and enjoyed the vanilla and I'm so grateful IOTCC hasn't tampered with the recipe. Perfection must be left alone. Thanks again, Kaylene!

    I used to LOVE this place but this last time ordering left me a little torn...my cupcakes were nothing to rave about--they weren't even really decorated...I ordered a merry Christmas red velvet and there was nothing special about it...no topper like the Christmas tree one and all the others just seemed like shadows of their former selves. Not sure if that was just today or if this is a permanent change but I miss the cute touches like hearts and drizzles that make the cupcakes feel special. The lemon is still the star. The hot chocolate one literally just tastes like regular chocolate. It was meh. A little dry. They were fine overall just didn't hit the same in terms of visual appeal and flavor. Compare photos below from three years ago v my most recent order. The pink delicious alone explain it all.

    The order I paid for. Confetti cupcake and Oreo cookie.

    I'm disappointed to give this review. I first tried this place when I was using the app too good to go and with that I would definitely write this place a 4-5 which brings my review today two or three because if it was just today alone, I would rate it one or two. The selection was very minimum . That I could've been OK with however, when I got home, I was really looking forward to trying something delicious. The cookie was an Oreo cookie. I would rate that a zero out of five and the cupcake itself. I would write a one and a half out of five. This is very painful for me to write because the fact that the cupcakes were good when I got them off the other app I decided to go in order on my own and pay full price . If this had been my first experience, I would be very upset . The price for one cupcake and one cookie was over $10. When I got home and I went to taste the cookie, it was hard and stale. I was only home a short time even asked my husband did you leave it open or anything because I was shocked. It was well lit in the business the gal at the front was nice and is the reason for me not giving a 2 star. The selection was very limited all in all I was just very disappointed. It was just a very bad visit. I wasn't too impressed by the inside. It would be nice if it was a place where you could go and sit down, It's almost like a pop-up. .

    Do not buy cupcakes from here. Their recipe has changed and they no longer make the deliciously dense cupcakes we've grown to love. Instead they sell these weird overly sweet, spongey tiny cupcakes no better (or bigger) than your average supermarket cupcake. There is nothing defining or outstanding of their current cupcakes, in fact you'll see that they are mostly frosting now. I've stopped coming by to check out their selection because every time I do, I become irrationally angry thinking about how delicious these cupcakes used to be. Not to mention they no longer advertise their daily cupcakes so you just have to take a risk by walking in and getting stuck with something like a gluten free blackberry cheesecake that feels like it's scratching your throat the whole way down. If you want some cupcakes, save yourself some money and just go down to your local Bel Air or Nugget and order yourself a dozen cupcakes for no more than $12/dozen and they'll taste just as good or better.

    Gluten free candy cane
    Mel L.

    I have been coming to Icing on the cupcake for years, but not as often lately since I don't get to come to midtown as often as I used to. Although cupcakes aren't the trendy 'viral' sweet that they were about 8 years ago, I'm happy to report that these cupcakes continue to be delicious and worth a visit. I've always been impressed with the flavor and quality of their gluten free items. I tried the gf candy cane and also picked up my favorite gf brown butter coffee cake cupcake. Both were good and the brown butter continues to be my favorite. They offer gluten free and vegan options along with standard cupcakes. The person who helped me was super sweet and made the experience even better. They have flavors they offer daily as well flavors that change depending on the day of the week so check their site if there is a certain flavor you want. My top recs are the brown butter, snickerdoodle, peanut butter and jelly, and the lemon.

    Trice O.

    Haven't been here in a while...actually it's been since they moved from Alhambra street. Nonetheless, the ambiance is clean and customer service was basic. The cupcakes are still delicious. Although they serve a variety of cupcakes, I typically come for the pb&j cupcakes. They're unique treat and a peanut butter lover's dream.

    Blu M.

    Tasty cupcakes! Definitely some of the better cupcakes you can get in Midtown for sure. I have gotten a variety of flavors, and my favorite has to be their chocolate salted caramel and classic pinkdelicious. The cake is moist and tender, not crumbly or dry in any way. The frosting is not too heavy or too sweet, which is fantastic. The frosting to cake ration is also great! I appreciate this stores variety of flavors. I have also gotten some orders on Too Good To Go and those have been great too. The cupcakes are still fresh and not old tasting. Give this a try if you are looking to try this spot with not risk! Overall, a tasty option for sure! Give it a try

    I ordered a few dozen cupcakes with them for my mom's Vampire Diaries themed bday recently (really long story) and I'm was beyond impressed with them! We got a bunch of different flavors to try and every one of them was fantastic. The woman I spoke with when I ordered was patient while I looked through the options they had (there are a ton of them) and the person that helped me when I arrived was super nice too. I threw a couple of cake toppers on top and these were 100 times better than ordering a regular birthday cake :)

    Rocky Road and Vegan Chocolate Turtle
    Melissa G.

    I stopped by the J Street location for a Too Good to Go pickup. Too Good to Go offers customers a surprise bag with at least 4 cupcakes of the store's choice for a reduced price (nearly 75% off). I didn't have much variety, as my box came with two Rocky Road and two Vegan Chocolate Turtle cupcakes. Both were delicious, but I prefer the non-Vegan ones since they weren't as dry. I arrived to pickup on a Friday afternoon, and I was greeted by friendly staff and a case full of fresh cupcakes. Staff asked if I had any allergies before giving me a box with nuts. I appreciated the consideration, which made their customer service stand out. The store is small; however, it's connected to Chicago Pizza. Given the shared space, you can order cupcakes from next door and have them brought over. I would love to come back for pizza and cupcakes of my choice next time! Overall, great first experience.

    How long can these be stored? Party is next day after pickup.

    I would really try to pick up on the same day as your event. The cupcakes (especially the filled ones) tend to fall apart or start to droop, especially with the thick layer of frosting on top.

    Are the vegan cupcakes soy free?

    What's days do they have guava?

I stopped at Pushkin's Bakery with a friend one morning and went straight for the Mud Pie Cookie. Rich, decadent, intensely chocolatey, and somehow gone much too quickly.

The cupcake flavors change throughout the year and I love having a variety to choose from. If you're looking for something special, plan to order ahead to customize your order.
