I'm very picky when it comes to cupcakes but these are my absolute favorite! I will be ordering them for every occasion. Some cupcakes just taste like a sugar bomb and these are not that. The flavors are outstanding and one of a kind, the texture is moist and the icing is a creamy perfection, even better when cold. I ordered Caramel Macchiato (my #1), Pandan, Funfetti, & Chocolate w/ Vanilla Buttercream. Everyone at my party raved about these cupcakes. The owner was also very responsive and accommodating to all of my requests, he was easy to get ahold of, and delivered my cupcakes on time. Can't wait to have these again! read more

Raffie (the owner) has been a family friend for a long time. We appreciate all the attention to detail with his gorgeous displays. He hit the mark when it came to the flower choices and cupcake flavors. We chose strawberry, ube, banana turon (my favorite), cookies & cream and pandan. By the end of the night, there were only 3 cupcakes left out of the 12 dozen we ordered. The display was definitely the centerpiece of all the desserts, and the best decorative piece for our party overall. Lots of guests were super impressed and took lots of pictures. I highly recommend Just a Simple Cupcake for your party dessert display needs. read more

Cupcakes from Just a Simple Cupcake are always a hit! I've had cupcakes from Raffie at multiple events and recently had the pleasure of getting to order them for my baby shower. The ordering process and communication with Raffie was easy and he was punctual in delivering. Everyone always loves the flavors and it was no different for my event. They were all gone by the end of the event which I wasn't expecting considering we had other desserts. Many family and friends also complimented the cupcakes and asked where I got them from. Super appreciative for Raffie and will always recommend Just a Simple Cupcake to everyone! read more

Amazing Cupcakes with Filipino flavors. Raffi provided our cupcakes for my daughter's Birthday. Before booking, he met up with me for tastings. During the event, He arrived on time to setup.

Wanted to find a local baker that would deliver to Kaiser Vallejo and found Raffie's company, Just a Simple Cupcake, who caters! Communication was super easy over text, email or phone. I wanted to make custom toppers to add to the cupcakes and was able to get it to him before the ship date. This is how it turned out and the cupcakes were loved by my boyfriend and front line workers. Thank you Raffie for making these beautiful and delicious cupcakes for all to enjoy. We will be repeat customers and tell everyone about it! read more

Just a Simple Cupcake - a dozen cupcakes in a box - Desserts Near Me

I love cupcakes and there's not a lot of good cupcakeries in Vallejo, so I was pleased to stumble upon this place on Yelp! It was also a plus finding out they make unique flavors that are popular to the Filipino community! S E R V I C E: Raffie is prompt and so friendly. I emailed him about placing an order for my mom's birthday and just within the hour he emailed me back! At first I wanted all the Filipino flavors listed on the website, but he explained to me that the flavors change weekly and he doesn't have a front store and is renting a commercial kitchen. The flavors available this week are Turon, Ube, Buko, and Caramel Macchiato - I ordered all of them :). He delivered to our house and was so sweet! P R I C E Nothing to complain about. It is $24 a dozen and $6 for a delivery fee. However, if you live in Solano County, delivery fee is waived, you just have to order a minimum of two dozen cupcakes! * CUPCAKES * Deelicious! My favorite Filipino flavors (so far) would be the Buko and the Turon. All cakes are super moist and are topped with a simple buttercream frosting. These cupcakes aren't overwhelmingly sweet, which I love. Can't wait to try more flavors! read more

Had a very pleasant experience with Just a Simple Cupcake. My sister's baby shower was coming up and she wanted cupcakes from this bakery because of the unique Filipino flavors. I had ordered 3 dozen cupcakes for my sister's baby shower. Buko pan Dan, ube and Turon cupcakes were delicious! The cupcakes were dense in a good way, but not too sweet. Ube flavor was very subtle. Turon cupcakes had a crispy fried garnish on top, which added to the aesthetics of the cupcake. Each cupcake was simply topped with buttercream frosting. Yum! The price was reasonable. A dozen cupcakes for $24, which is not too bad compared to other bakeries in the Bay Area. Delivery fee was $8 to Richmond/Pinole area, but $6 if you're in Solano County. I was so happy that the cupcakes made it to my house safely and in beautiful condition. Minus one star because there was some miscommunication regarding cupcake flavors. Emails back and forth was helpful, though. Also, my sister called JASC the day of delivery to confirm some details, but they did not respond/call back. What I really appreciated, though, was that JASC included cake toppers for the cupcakes. I ordered the cupcakes a couple weeks in advance, so they did not have the cake stand available to rent anymore, but they threw in the free decorations, which was really nice. Thank you, Just a Simple Cupcake, for a good experience. I would not mind working with you again in the future. read more

Just a Simple Cupcake sells simple cupcakes, nothing more. locale: juneteeth festival, berkeley (6/26) flavors available were red velvet, chocolate, buko, ube, ....the flavoring is in the base, not the topping. topping flavors are only vanilla butter cream and another sweet one ? sampling: ube cupcake 2@ or 3/$5 -sweet flavored topping, base had slight ube (taro flavoring) -not my kind of cupcake 2.5 stars off the top -not artisan cupcakes. -good average cupcakes. read more

Yep, definitely glad I went back to them for my son's birthday this time around! I had to plan this party more or less last minute *cough, I procrastinated lol*, so I was scrambling to get everything together. I remembered how delicious Just a Simple Cupcake was, but was bummed when I saw on their website that they needed at least 3 days notice. It was two days before the event where I asked if they can still take my order, and they were more than happy to do so. When it came to figuring out a delivery time, I was bummed again when they said that the earliest they could deliver on Saturday was between 10-11 and I needed it before then because I was taking to a party in the South Bay that I had to help set up. I didn't make it a big deal because it was my fault to begin with to give them this last minute order. So I had to try to rearrange things so that I could be home to accept the delivery. But to my surprise the night before he emailed me saying that they were able to deliver an hour earlier! He definitely didn't have to do that but the fact that he went above and beyond to accommodate me, without me having to ask him to do so, that was awesome. Thank you SO much Raffie! You and your team are amazing! I look forward to ordering all my cupcakes from you! read more

We came across this place at the Annual Jelly Belly Candy palooza event. They were one of the last booths we saw. I'm not a big cake/cupcake fan, but I'm open to try new things. Just a Simple Cupcake caught my husband's attention. I think it's because he saw the word, FILIPINO! (which is so funny, since my husband is NOT filipino). The flavors were definitely unique, Ube (purple yam), Pandan, and Turon (banana). As a filipino, I thought it was neat to have a different representation of the "usual desserts" (Aka Halo Halo). The cupcakes were good. They weren't dry and I was able to actually taste the unique flavors. read more

Marvel at how a cupcake can taste like buko pandan (Google "buko pandan" if you are not familiar with the Filipino version of a fruit salad.) Bite into the violet splendor of ube fluffiness. Experience banana turon greatness. These flavors are unusual for the cupcake world and Just a Simple Cupcake deliciously infuses this homage to Filipino-ness in their inventive baked goods. read more

These cupcakes are very moist and delicious! I met this family at the Fairfield Farmers Market back in October 2011. I talked to them in length about their story on how their business got started. They are a lovely Filipino family that make a lovely, great tasting cupcake. I am not a huge fan of cakes for dessert, mostly because many cakes I've tried are too dry or overpowered by the heavy frosting! This cupcake is moist and not too sweet. The frosting is a creamy, light, buttercream with just the right touch of added sweetness. I will order cupcakes here for future family gatherings because my family loves sweets! Check out their Facebook page! Let's keep this locally family owned business going! They use fresh and locally owned ingredients! Simply Yummy! read more

I contacted Raffie about a month before my wedding because things fell through with my original baker at pretty much the last minute. Raffie was extremely responsive which was a breath of fresh air! We scheduled a tasting for the upcoming weekend and he met us in our neighborhood with 4 cupcake flavors to try. We ended up ordering 3 flavors that he brought for us to taste (Ube, chocolate, cookies & cream), plus the turon flavor which is his best seller, all at a very affordable price. On the day of the wedding, Raffie was very punctual and set up the display beautifully on stands that we had provided. Our guests raved about the cupcakes. I will definitely be ordering more in the future. read more

I ordered 3 dozen cupcakes for my daughter's 1st Birthday. I didn't realize until later after the delivery man left, that I received a dozen Buko Pandan instead of a dozen Rocky Road. I was pretty disappointed because that was the flavor I wanted the most and didn't like coconut flavored cupcakes. Hours later the man delivered 6 of the 12 Rocky Road. My cousin was the one who answered the door, so he didn't realize why someone was delivering 6 cupcakes or the situation. I appreciate that I received some of the Rocky Road but wish I had received the full dozen since that was the flavored loved by everyone. Still waiting for that other half dozen of Rocky Road... ‍ read more

These cupcakes are so delicious and reminiscent of the desserts from my childhood. The Turon cupcake is so moist and the Lanka or jackfruit frosting is just to die for. This is a local business owned by awesome people. You gotta try them. My personal fave is the Ube or taro cupcake! I would kill for Ube cupcakes and believe you me...I had murder in my eyes after scarfing down one of these! Hahahaha! They deliver and just need 24 hours notice. Raffie is awesome nice. Let's promote and support! read more

I just came from Vallejo Farmer's Market and it was nice surprise to come across their cupcake stand. I was shocked that they had unique flavors and it was great that they had samples to try before purchasing. I tried the Buko Pandan and Ube (Taro) being Filipino I knew these flavors and my son tried the Red Velvet. We both thought they were GREAT, moist and flavorful. Yes, the frosting is a vanilla buttercream, but it didn't over power the flavor of the cake or too sweet. To me it was a perfect balance! The customer service was great! Especially when you know exactly what you are selling that's a big plus for me! I support local businesses and will be back next Saturday to hopefully try some of their other flavors. read more

I got married a few weeks ago and our cupcakes were definitely a highlight of the event. We chose turon, ube, peanut butter chocolate, and pumpkin spice, and our guests are still raving about them. All of the cupcakes were gone by the end of the night to our surprise, as we thought we may have gotten too many cupcakes! We told Raffie that our theme for the wedding was rustic, and he set up an absolutely BEAUTIFUL display that blew us away! They were also very friendly, easy-going, and accommodating throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Hasn't returned our numerous calls nor answered an email. I'd give zero stars if anything

Came across a random cupcake stand by pleasant hill Bart. I thought it would be regular cupcakes but to my surprise there were very unique flavors. Ube, turon, Buko, Lanka and etc. being Filipino I knew these favors and never thought it would be made in cupcakes!! I haven't seen them for awhile in pleasant hill Bart stations.

I can't believe it took me this long to write this review. Raffie did the desserts for my wedding, and I could NOT have been happier. I was anti-cake for my wedding, and honestly was thinking about not doing dessert at all. I just wasn't into it. Luckily, my mom had seen Raffie's work at a friend's party and told me that I would like his cupcakes. Man, was she right! Perfectly flavored, not too sweet (although he said he could make them sweeter if we wanted!), and perfect density. He was super nice all throughout our tasting, and besides bringing several flavors for us to try, he also brought a binder full of different layouts he could do. I chose a rustic one, since that was my theme, and he said okay. That was it. SOOOOOOOO simple. I didn't micro-manage or worry about anything. Come the wedding day, Raffie did the entire setup for my display and it was DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! I can't even believe how freakin' beautiful it was! And those cupcakes were fantastic the next day =) =) I'll definitely use Raffie for nay of my cupcake needs. read more

We saw them at Vallejo Farmers Market and spoke to the owners Raffi and sorry I forgot the lady's name. But they were both very professional and very informational.
