It's all in the frosting! Homemade and perfected no nonsense according to my 17-year old that's super serious about her cupcakes! "I want these at my birthday party"! Fluffy, fresh and delicious. So good they have only one kind - pink and golden! read more

ScottCakes - All pink cupcakes - so good only one kind! - Bakeries Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

I had heard about this place for a whole year from my 13y and husband who had gone the year before (apparently every night of their stay :) When we all went this year (grandparents, kids and adults), the cupcakes were TRULY THE BEST WE HAVE EVER EATEN (like RIGHT NOW, I wish I had one as I write this). Amazing taste, amazing consistency, just amazingness all around. So fun to walk there as a family after dinner anticipating the deliciousness, get a whole box to enjoy on the street outside and walk around w/all that yumminess in our belly and happiness for being in PTown. Thank goodness they deliver off island too :) read more

So this is an obscure baby boomer culture reference, but do you remember an old Shirley MacLaine comedy where she kept marrying men who died in comical ways while she got richer and richer? One such man was Pinky Benson, a dancer who becomes a movie star and has everything in his Hollywood mansion painted pink including Shirley. That's what came to mind when I entered this subterranean shop. Everything was pink. What a happy place to be. Other cupcake bakeries will try to wow you with their diversity and elaborate muffin top decorations, but this place offers only one kind, a classic vanilla cupcake with a generous dollop of pink buttercream frosting (Photo 8). They come in two sizes, the $5 Classic and the $2.50 Mini (Photo 5). Jamie W and I bought two of each, scampered to our Airbnb, and devoured them. Pinky would've been furious because there wasn't a trace of pink left. CUPCAKES - 5 stars...when you do one kind right, what else do you need?...also eliminates idiots who can't make a choice...am I right, ladies? AMBIANCE - 5 stars...if Pinky Benson came back from the dead, here he would be SERVICE - 4.5 stars...sweet TOTAL - 5 stars...the ideal ending to an evening of debauchery in P-Town RELATED - Exploring Provincetown?

They have one item & 1 item only, in 2 sizes - a yellow cake cupcake with pink buttercream icing. Yet this place is a must go-to. The BEST Cupcakes I've ever had and completely consistent every time I've ever gone there. They're open until Midnight for your late night snacking needs & they're DELICIOUS!!! Can't say enough about how good these little pink iced treats are but you NEED TO GO & EAT THESE!!! read more

These are the BEST cupcakes we have ever had! Don't walk, RUN to this place! You will be glad you did. There is one type of cupcake available but it comes in a mini or regular size. Let it be known that if there is one choice, it must be damn tasty. It was! Since we had just finished lunch so we got the minis; but I wish we would have taken some to go. The service was great! I didn't ask but hope they can ship these to Austin for me! PS: they had a gluten free option too! read more

The rumors are true, Scott Cakes are genuinely good! Great service, and you don't need to ponder what to get - they only have one kind of cupcakes (aka Scott cakes) which come in 2 sizes, regular size and mini. The cake part is moist and the frosting part is soft and semi fluffy. These are just sweet enough and for me eating 1 was just enough. read more

Very moist cupcake, the mini size is perfect! Service was fast, and it was very chill inside. They legit only have one flavor, but it's a classic flavor. read more

Came back here while in PTown, and it still lives up to my wife's standard as the best cupcake. We got the buy 5 get 1 free (5 each), and the cupcake was still moist for the next 2 days. read more

Scott cakes was a lovely dessert in ptown. They serve pink cupcakes and not a lot else. The thing is, that id always rather have a place do one thing really well, rather than sell a bunch of mediocre products. Definitely check them out for a sweet treat. read more

I am a chocolate cupcake girl 100% of the time. I stumbled in this place and asked if they were out of chocolate cupcakes. The lady behind the counter said they don't sell them and they don't need them. I couldn't resist that confidence. This cupcake tastes how I want a Twinkie to taste. I had great nostalgia for Twinkies, but the first time has on as an adult spit it out. This has that lovely sponge and the perfect consistency and not too sweet frosting of my nostalgic dream Twinkie. read more

I love a good vanilla cupcake. I can't believe i've missed this place the last 2 times i've been to Ptown. It's below some stairs from street level and i'm so glad I found it this year. Wow, these are some of the best cupcakes i've ever had! Perfectly moist, just the right amount of frosting to cupcake ratio, and darn they are delicious! I got 2 minis the first time we spotted them. The next day I had to come back and get more as it was my last day in Ptown. Don't skip ScottCakes!! read more

The waiter at Lobster Pot told us about this bakery where 1 guys only sells 1 item: a vanilla cupcake with pink frosting. We decided to go find it because this waiter said it was the best cupcake he's ever had. I love this place, conceptually: a small bake shop that literally specializes in 1 exceptional thing. However, execution-wise, I don't think it lives up to that concept. Don't get me wrong, the cupcake is quite delicious... but is it delicious enough to get me to come back time and time again? Probably not. Also just way too expensive for the size read more

Delicious cupcakes - satisfying my sugar fix two days in a row while on vacation in Provincetown. My kids just couldn't get enough. The bakery only serves one color frosting - PINK. Nothing to think about, just run over and get some. Comes in a mini or standard size cupcake. There's bistro tables outside if you wish to eat them straightaway. Or the super friendly staff can box them up for you. Depending on how many you buy, they usually can box it without an issue. We grabbed paper plates and just gobbled it up in an instant at one of the bistro tables. Can't miss the bright pink storefront but know it's one level down from street level. For those who can't do stairs, there is a sloped ramp/walkway that goes down to the shop, just hang a sharp right. read more

ScottCakes - We bought two minis. OMG, so good. - Bakeries Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

I love dessert, so I was curious to try ScottCakes. We tried to visit one day this last summer, but we came at the wrong time and they were closed. Made it back another day on our Ptown vacation and finally got a few. The cakes are a bit on the pricey side, but this is Cape Cod in the summer and most items will be costly. The cupcakes themselves were fairly average, I'd give them a 7.5 out of 10. There was nothing that really wowed me, especially for the cost. The cake portion didn't wow me and the frosting was just OK. I expected them to knock my socks off. Were they bad? No. It would be nice to see more cupcake flavors available too. read more

Received my gingerbread men in a reasonable amount of time. Would have appreciated 2 brief emails saying working on your order and a brief notification of shipment. The cookies just appeared at my door about 3 weeks after ordering. I would still order from ScottCakes again. Cookies are great size for decorating and come very well packaged. to avoid breakage in transit. read more

Amazing cupcake! Worth the stop and no decision necessary outside of how many to order! read more

If you go to ScottCakes, you will have the best cupcake of your life. He only makes one kind, and the reason for this is that he knows best. He has truly perfected his craft down in Provincetown, and it shows. These cupcakes are the perfect after-lunch snack to munch on as you walk up and down Provincetown's Main Street. 1000% worth the price (large cupcakes are $4). Usually, Scott himself is there, working the register and warmly greeting people who walk in. Lots of related merch and decor inside to check out, but overall a pretty small shop. Highly recommend! read more

ScottCakes - Storefront - Bakeries Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Went to ScottCakes in Provincetown on Cape Cod, as it was strongly recommended by a few women who were exiting the bakery as we were contemplating going in. I love cupcakes like the next person, so we decided to go in. The pink frosted cupcakes looked great and ended up tasting great as well. However, when my husband paid for the two cupcakes we bought, but did not tip, the gal at the register ringing us up gave him an eye roll and an under her breath laugh. When we are buying two cupcakes that to begin with, are not cheap, and we were very friendly and complimentary of the cupcakes, we found it offensive that she reacted like she did. More training of employees interacting properly with their customers needed there. read more

I'm a big fan of this simple philosophy: do one thing and do it really well. And, if you can survive as a business making pretty, pink, vanilla concoctions....fabulous! I was in Provincetown a few weeks ago and was happy to see that ScottCakes was open. Sometimes it's closed when I've visited off-season-ish. The smell is divine and the person behind the counter was friendly. I snagged a mini cupcake to devour ASAP and picked up a half dozen larger ones to bring back to the hotel for sharing. These are super sweet; so prepare for a sugar coma if you eat a whole large cupcake. Vanilla cake is moist and the products are always really fresh. The frosting is true buttercream...simple and yummy. This is not a variety-laden "crumbs" type bakery. Vanilla frosting on vanilla cake. You get what you see and smell. Sweet. read more

Wow. The place looks cute and the line goes quickly. They only offer 1 flavor of cupcake in a small or large. The cupcake was surprisingly disappointing as it truly was nothing special and tasted like the cupcakes mix and frosting mix you buy at a grocery store that you could make at home. I think people go here bc of the color of the frosting, but it just tastes like vanilla. This is a skip for me in the future. read more

They do one thing and they do it darn well! I got the mini cupcakes. They were soft and so delicious, couldn't stop eating them. The buttercream isn't too buttery or heavy. Just the right amount of cream and compliments the fluffy cupcake well. The interior is super cute and everything is pink themed. They do mini size ($2) and regular size ($4). The best part? They accept credit cards! read more

Stopped in during our trip to P-Town to try these iconic cupcakes! I was glad that they offered both mini and full sized cupcakes. The cake was so moist, and I appreciated that the buttercream wasn't overly sugary. It was very light and satisfied my craving for sweets! Though I'm a chocoholic and wish they had a chocolate option, I respect what they're doing by picking one thing and doing it right! read more

Cute little cupcake shop. We saw a handful of people with pink boxes while walking down Commercial Street and wondered where they came from. I saw someone eating a mini cupcake and it looked super moist so we decided to pick some up. They're buy 5 get 1 free, so we got half a dozen. The price isn't too excessive, given that I'm from NYC and everything is expensive here. The cupcakes were just OK - not bad, but nothing to write home about. The buttercream was not too sweet, which I like, but the entire cupcake just didn't have too much flavor. read more

Best cupcakes! open late. friendly service. Fun atmosphere!! I wish i got more cupcakes to take home.

We got two mini cupcakes. It was moist and good for a vanilla cupcake though it did remind me of grocery cake mix. I'm not sure what the background is as to why there is only one flavor, but I think the real test would be what other flavors would taste like read more

Scottcakes is amazing but losing a star due to unreasonable hours! We literally had to make it a point to check everyday and see when Scott would decide to come in... One day, the store had a sign that said "Be Back at Noon!" for three DAYS!!! Luckily, we were able to stop by on the last day of our vacation and try the scottcakes. They were amazing, moist, buttery, and just the perfect little treat. The store is super cute inside. read more

SERIOUSLY!!!! We walked by this place and a PASSERBY recommended it! These cupcakes are perfect. Truly. Rich buttercream frosting and a delightfully light and airy cupcake. Love the fact there is just ONE CHOICE...and a delectable one at that. Love the branding, everything. There are some tables out front, but we did not even have time to sit down before gobbling down these tasty treats. Lovely balance of sugar in the frosting and not too sweet. We've sampled cupcakes all over the country and these are now the gold standard. Other cupcakes' frosting is too thick or too sweet and the cake is too dense...I really loved the consistency of the cake. So so so this is what it feels like to match taste buds with a cupcake at your level, what the hell is the catch?! Mmmmmmmmm read more

Someone on the beach suggested I check out ScottCakes. They told me that they only sell one flavor of cupcake, but it's really good. In my head I'm thinking, "Okay but how good a cupcake be. And only one flavor?" Let me tell you, we ended up buying a dozen for our week-long trip. These cupcakes are the perfect decadent bite for those who like to treat themselves on vacation. read more

I know what you're thinking... all they sell is cupcakes, and only 1 flavor?? Trust me, this has been a mandatory stop on our annual Cape vacation for several years now. All I can say is OMG. I'm not normally a big "Sweets" person, but I would crawl over a dying relative to get to one of these f-ing cupcakes!! Seriously... The - Best - Ever! If you're in P-town... get yourself to ScottCakes!! (PS- right across the alley there is a great little french bistro to grab some yummy coffee to go with your ScottCake.) read more

On a crawl through town at the end of our evening - we heard the siren song of Provincetown's famous pink iced cupcake. Had to try one ... and if you are familiar ... compared it to my beloved SusieCakes back home. My partner loved the ScottCakes cup cake ... so I'm going with her recommendation this time. For me ... it was probably more of a 4 star based on the icing - but I am spoiled by SusieCakes. Love that they are open late. The service was friendly and they were happy to share the ScottyCakes story with us! read more

The BEST cupcake I've ever had - ever!! Seriously, don't get just one or two, grab a dozen because you'll regret it if you don't.

I was in Ptown for a week last week, stopped here 3 times. These babies refrigerate well, and it was just as good 2 days out of the fridge as they were the day we bought them. Very simple, very well done, buttercream outstanding! read more

My friends and I were looking for a place to pick up a cake for another friend's birthday, and several other business owners recommended ScottCakes (cupcakes only, no cakes). I had also happened to visit earlier that day to treat myself to a cupcake, and fate would have it that I ended up in the late afternoon to buy another six pack for the six of us. The lone employee was busy applying icing to a fresh batch of cupcakes when we walked in and immediately turned to us and eagerly agreed to adding extra icing on the cupcakes we bought. The interior is tiny and a bit dark. There is just one small counter. Not a place you sit down and eat. They specialize in one kind of cupcake and one kind of cupcake ONLY. There are regular sizes and minis. Very simple and straightforward. Buy 6 and pay for only 5! Great deal. Friendly, engaging service. Divine cupcakes! Perfect for the late afternoon pick-me-up. Or an early-morning snack. Or a mid-day snack. :) Definitely stop in. Don't think. Do! read more

Our cottage was located just a few minutes from Provincetown so we decided to stop by and I saw good reviews for ScottCakes on Google & Yelp before going. While walking around town we came across it so we had to try! The tiny shop was very cute and smelled heavenly. If they made a candle of this shop we would purchase it! The staff was very friendly and kind. We got the smallest scottcakes because we were already stuffed from other treats. It was well worth it. So delicious! The cake was perfectly moist and flavorful and the frosting was its perfect compliment. Not too much & not too little frosting. There's only one kind of cupcake here and it's vanilla with I believe vanilla pink frosting. However, no other flavor is needed it's perfect! Stop by for a small treat that you're bound to miss once leaving the Cape. read more
