Their food truck came to our apartment building a few weeks ago. While they were here, I got 2 cupcakes. A strawberry one for my husband and a salted caramel one for me. My husband really liked his strawberry one, even though he wished the flavoring was a little stronger. The cake was moist and the frosting wasn't overly sweet. What impressed him was that the strawberry flavor was also in the cake part. My cupcake had a vanilla cake and a salted caramel frosting. The cake part was moist. I found the frosting to be a bit too sweet and the salt flavoring was there but faint. Only after I finished eating the cupcake did I pick up on the salt. Like most places that offer something with salted caramel be it candy or a cake-like product, they went too easy on the salt. A little more salt and the cupcake would have been truly top notch. If I came across their truck again, I would definitely try some of their other cupcakes. Plus I would recommend others give them a try. read more

This was an unexpected, unplanned simply delightful treat. I stumbled upon the truck on 12th St, NW near Metro Center and decided to indulge. I chose a vanilla cupcake with lemon icing. I love that you pick your flavor/icing combo. Great idea so that you're not boxed into pre-determined combinations and it's so simple and quick for the icing to be applied (or not) to your cupcake of choice. When spotted again I will definitely buy more than one and maybe share! read more

I have no idea how good the cupcakes might be, as I didn't order them. The moment I spotted the low carb cookies my mind was set! Thank you Aaron! Here's the deal- no business is going to risk its reputation on a product unless they truly believe that it is at least as good as similar items out there. They want people to buy it once and then to come back and to also spread the word. These cookies are so good that I feel the need to spread the word, and I'm trying to figure out how to find the truck again. Keto diets are extremely low carb* and paleo diets avoid wheat** which makes them lovely companions in many specialty dessert recipes. Almond flour is a great replacement for wheat and is low carb. Add other quality ingredients and you'll end up with a winning concept. Add knowledge and experience and you'll end up with these delicious cookies. We bought two six count bags. Chocolate chip (2.9 net carbs per cookie) and iced lemon (.9 net carbs per cookie!) which cost $10 each. This is when I realized how important it is to have someone nearby to help you share the bag, because without a partner your brain will tell you to eat all of the cookies in one sitting. They were delicious! Three of us shared the treats, which are sweetened with monk fruit and are soft and crumbly but which did not fall apart in the bag on the way home. The lemon cookie was our favorite. Almond flour was an unexpectedly perfect pairing with lemon, and the final product was almost cake like in texture. My diabetic mother was happy that she got to have more than one at a time, and we were all so sad when the cookies were gone. I don't know what kind of magic happens in Aaron's Midnite kitchen, but I'm willing to taste anything he conjures! (*there's more, but this is the important bit right now!) (**yes, again, so much more, but let's get back to the cookies!) read more

My review is solely based on me not being able to find this place despite numerous trips to this location. I asked around and no one knew. I see most of the reviews are old, so maybe they moved to a different location. Not expecting an update during covid anyway, but I hope the owner jumps back into business after and makes this place easy to find. Best wishes! read more

Awesome! I went to an event today and this company was one of the food trucks there. I had the lemon cupcake with strawberry icing. It was a perfect size and it tasted sooooo good. I recommend them to everyone! My friend had the lemon cupcake also with the lemon icing. read more

My absolute favorite cupcake truck! Everytime they are close by I always make my way there to get my fix. I love how they put icing on the spot too so you can mix and match your cake and icing flavors. The cake is perfectly moist and the cream cheese icing is the best! I've tried pretty much every cake (well except pumpkin, just not a pumpkin fan) and icing flavors and have not been disappointed with any of them. Forget about those other ones with long lines around the block. These are 1000x better! I hope they open a location in DC or Arlington. read more

Loved my oatmeal cookie cup (tasted just like an oatmeal cookie!!) and requested extra frosting and the guy piled it on! Will return to this truck next time it's in my area! read more

Easily one of my favorite DC cupcake trucks!! That means a lot coming from a cupcake fiend! There's plenty of cupcake trucks in DC so what makes Midnite Confections different? They let you mix and match cake bases with frosting flavors so there are endless possibilities! There's always at least 5-6 cake flavors and frostings to choose from. After you pick your cake base, they hand-pipe the cupcakes right in front of your eyes. It may sound insignificant but the excitement of watching them personalize your cupcake with your choice of frosting makes my cupcake-filled heart flutter! Service is always friendly and the cupcakes are always delicious, no matter what cupcake/frosting concoction you pick! Highly recommended :) read more

I visited the food truck at Lenfant plaza one day for lunch. The cupcakes were okay. I thought it was weird that you have to give the flavor of frosting/cake combo but whatevs. I'm pretty sure I could make better cupcakes at home and for the price I prob will. Because the flavor didn't knock my socks off I'll be skipping this place from now on. read more

This truck visited our office park today and we looked online to see what our options would be. The choices online on the flavor calendar I guess do not apply? I was really unclear on that and disappointed when I went to place my order and the flavors listed on the white board did not at all match what was advertised online. I ordered cupcakes any way and they were delicious. The truck gives you a choice of cupcake and a choice of frosting then puts the frosting on in front of you. I originally chose 4 different cupcake flavors but after seeing the chocolate cream cheese cupcake, I changed all 4 to that. We did 2 chocolate icing and 2 vanilla. The cupcake itself was delicious and the frosting was not overly sweet and tasted fresh. I will definitely be going back for more and hopefully more flavors will be available. read more

Another sweet food truck option, while I enjoy a good steak sandwich from the back of the truck I much prefer something sweet from the back of the truck. I like how you can mix and match your frosting with your cupcake flavor, while I went ultra unoriginal with vanilla on vanilla, it is nice to see you have a variety of options. I was mixed on the cupcake overall, while the icing was much too sweet to my liking but the cupcake itself was nicely made, great flavor, nice density, fluffy and almost perfect. Overall nice cupcake and I could see myself returning in the future. read more

I visit this food truck near my job as often as I can, and their cupcakes are heavenly! i love the fact that I can select the type of icing I want for my cupcake! Packaging is simple but cute and perfect for my little peice of heaven! You must give them a try! read more

I've tasted a lot of cupcakes in my time. I saw this truck on my last day in DC and stopped by to grab a dozen for some friends (to share, of course). I wasn't sure what to expect. They kept the cupcakes in bins, pulled them out, and frosted them made to order. Brilliant! In case you have a hard time choosing, like me, they have flavors to choose from or you can match any cake with any frosting. Did I mention that when I came by it was buy 2, get 1? I told the server to get ready because I may buy them all. I was joking but the customers behind me in line were not amused. The cakes were sturdy but moist inside. I found myself questioning how such sorcery was possible. The frosting was just the right amount of sweet without being clawingly so. The black velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting is pure evil. My friends cursed me repeatedly for showering them with such decadence. The salted caramel butter cream drizzled with MORE salted caramel is luscious. Midnite makes cupcakes dreams are made of. I'm lucky to live so far away since my waistline wouldn't be able to manage it. read more

A little pricey ($3.50 a cupcake) but they are really good. I like the mix and match cupcakes and icing. I sometimes will ask what's a good combo to try and I usually will get two just because I'm greedy lol. Very friendly guy that owns it and will continue to get cupcakes whenever I see the truck! Treat yourself don't cheat yourself! read more

Short review - I've only had one cupcake from here (vanilla/vanilla) and I can say I would try more. The frosting was too sweet (one of the reasons I don't usually like cupcakes), but the cupcake itself was perfectly moist and tasty. read more

I have eaten a lot of cupcakes in my life and this is by far my favorite cupcakery ever. It is family-owned and -operated. The cupcakes here are far superior than Magnolia cupcakes, Georgetown cupcakes, Sprinkles, and Gigi's cupcakes. The black velvet is my favorite flavor. They also have specialty ones which flavors like mojito. The cupcakes are very moist and the frosting is rich, but not too rich. The cupcakes are frosted to order. I was very sad that I had to move away from Baltimore in 2015. They now have a food truck that goes to D.C. I recently visited my sister in D.C. and she surprised me with half a dozen! It nearly brought tears to my eyes. read more

Oh, Farragut Square, Jurisdiction of food trucks, You host many treats, But among the sweets, One truck stands above all else: Midnite Confections. Decadent, moist cake, Iced to order at the truck. Mix and match with zeal. Black velvet, chocolate, Creamsicle, vanilla bean, All cake flavors great. Icings are stars too; Don't miss salted caramel With its tan drizzle. For cake to icing The ratios are perfect, A rare feat indeed. Friendly purveyors Offer 3-for-price-of-2 To cheer your Mondays. read more

I got the midnite chocolate with chocolate frosting and vanilla with vanilla almond frosting. The cake was moist and tasty but the frosting was a little too sweet and thick. I prefer butter cream frosting so I didn't live theirs. I would still visit this truck whenever I crave just a chocolate cake. read more

These are the best cupcakes ever! Every flavor is delicious. The black velvet is my favorite!

Best cupcake in DC. Moist cake, flavorful icing. I've tried Georgetown, Sprinkles, Crumbs, Baked & Wired and others. This is the best. (Baked & Wired is just as moist, but it's tough to get a flavor profile from their cupcakes because the cake/icing is just too sweet.) Mondays at Farragut. $3 per cupcake, $16 per 1/2 dozen. read more

I'm all about customization so I really love that you can mix and match cakes and frostings. Had the Cinnabon cupcake with chocolate frosting. Really moist, fluffy, and had all the right, subtle flavors. Not overly sweet either. $3 per cupcake is standard. Baked and wired still wins all but I like this place better than Georgetown Cupcakes. read more

I'm not even a huge fan of cupcakes, but these are SO GOOD. Our whole office is nuts over these cupcakes. I've never been to the store in Baltimore, but their truck visits Farragut Square once a week. Usually I request half the icing because the cakes are outstanding all on their own. read more

The cupcakes here are really good. I and my coworkers all enjoyed them greatly. I was skeptical because even though I LOVE cupcakes and baked goods in general, this cupcake craze is a bit ridiculous. I've tried many cupcakes though G'town, Baked and Wired, Hello, Crumbs, Red Velvet, Sweet Lobby and many of the trucks such as Curbside and such. This truck was one of the better ones I've tasted. These cupcakes were moist, the frosting was not too sweet, and overall the size was a good size cupcake. A bit pricey at $3 per cupcake though; however, that does seem to be the going rate for such things. I got the Vanilla Almond (which was confetti cake, DELICIOUS!) with vanilla almond frosting, chocolate on chocolate, black velvet with salted caramel frosting, sinabon with chocolate, and midnite with cream cheese frosting. All of them were hits with the group I was with. I would definitely return to this truck and try the actual store in Baltimore. read more

Worked with one family members of the business. He would occasionally bring in cupcakes for us to sample. Many different flavors and every single one of them were more delectable than the next. My favorite would have to be the Apple Croustades! That was the softest, most delightful cupcake I've ever tasted. Almost shed a tear after the first bite. They had even real pieces of apple in them. I would suggest them for any type of occasion from birthday parties, prom, workplace to even adult parties! They are wonderful! read more

Apparently this is a pretty famous brick and mortar in Baltimore, but I had no idea when I tried it. I was in Farragut Square killing time before an interview, saw the truck, and thought, "Ooh, cupcakes!" because those are the sort of deep intellectual thoughts I have going into job interviews. I've now been back a couple of times, because the cupcakes are delicious. They ice them to order, which means you can mix and match cake and icing flavors, though they also have some recommended combinations. They won me over with their seasonal cupcake, the pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. The cake was light and moist, the frosting not overly sweet, and just overall excellent. Since then, I've had the midnite (cream cheese and chocolate chips baked into the inside of the cupcake!!!) and the full moon, because who doesn't love bourbon vanilla. It's a good thing I don't find myself downtown more often, because I'm sure I'd have gained a few pounds by now! read more
