The service was quick, kind, and super accommodating, which made the whole experience even sweeter. The flavor was immaculate--moist, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. The space itself is lovely too: open, airy, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of room to move around. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or planning a towering 10-tier wedding cake, they've got you covered. They also have ample parking, which is always a win, and to top it off--they even sell adorable treats for your pets! A charming spot all around and definitely worth revisiting.

We stopped by the bakery on our way home from Winston Salem and met the delightful mom of the baker herself. One thing I really like is there's not a TON of frosting on the cupcakes, but more of a reasonable amount, just like Mama used to make. Everything looked wonderful so we placed an order for 3 dozen mini cupcakes and they Delivered them!! They were an absolute hit at the party & one guest, who normally is very careful about what she eats, had six mini cupcakes!! Everyone loved them and wanted to know where we got them and all the details. The frosting on the carrot cakes is cream cheese and was divine! The lemon was everyone's favorite and the snicker doodle with chocolate fudge icing was to die for! I'd give them 10 stars if I could!!

Upon entering the shop you are quick transported to a whimsical dreamland full of sprinkles and tiny pleasures. The lady at the counter was warm and welcoming, patient as I made up my mind. As I ogled the beautiful case full of perfectly iced creations, the choice was clear. Red Velvet. I was given my chosen cake in a cute box, a great touch I believe! The cupcake was moist, appropriately textured, but not too moist, for it would fall completely apart. When you break open the cupcake it remains intact, and doesn't crumble or lose integrity, this is key. Frosting was perfectly sweet and balanced, with the deep notes of the cream cheese. If you seek a perfect cupcake, come here and try a few flavors. You will not be disappointed!!

They have a menu that changes weekly, offering a variety of cupcakes, cake slices, cookies, cookie dough, and other items. Some of the varieties, like vanilla chocolate, and wedding cake, are offered every week. German chocolate is my favorite so I keep watch to see when that is offered. But other offerings are creative like banana pudding, hot fudge sundae, They offer gluten-free cupcakes as well. Cinnamon rolls used to be a treat just on Saturdays, but are offered on Fridays now too. Around the holidays, you can pre-order pies, cakes and other specialized items. They take orders for full cakes, wedding cakes, pies, cookies and cupcakes all year. If you have a sweet tooth, this is a great option to try some treats. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They even help take what you buy to your car if you get a lot of items at once.

Since that visit, I have returned once a week to pick up some Pupcakes for my pooch and of course, one or two of their unique and GIANT specialty cupcakes for myself! They have a few staple flavors that you can find every week such as ; Vanilla, chocolate, and banana pudding and also some staple mini cupcakes in a variety of flavors. Also weekly they will have a handful special flavors, usually seasonal. Right now in the fall/winter different variations of pumpkin/sweet potato have been available - Both are amazing! Other fantastic flavors have been vanilla-blueberry, vanilla-coconut, German chocolate, and Black Forest, to name a few. They even have a sugar free cupcake available in a different flavor each week. Let me tell you, if a group of 12 year old girls couldn't tell their chocolate peanut butter cup cupcake had no sugar in it, neither can you!! Also, I'm all about supporting small businesses, but women owned small businesses are even better! The owner, Deedee, is super friendly and helpful. I love chatting with her every time I drop in! I highly recommend this bakery the next time you have a special event or just have a hankering for a cupcake!

It also allows for seating inside and access to the seating out on the patio more easily accessible. The cases are rearranged now and they've added gelato. I didn't try that, but it looked interesting. The worker who waited on me was so kind and helpful, and apologized for answering the phone while I was in there (there was no need, because you're running a business, I get it), but she was so polite! They always have a fun assortment of flavors of cupcakes but it's rather hit or miss what quality you will get. They have fun combinations and flavors and are always beautiful, but sometimes they are quite dense, sometimes super moist, and sometimes dry and will nearly choke you. My default cupcake is always the yellow cake with chocolate icing. I feel like it's hard to mess up. However, I tried a cookie this most recent time and didn't love it. It was really thick and hard to eat. The flavor wasn't great, either. This is definitely somewhere to stop in and try- just to say you did it. They were on Cupcake Wars, after all.

As well as a crossiant cookie, or crookie. The frosting on all were sickeningly sweet. I scraped most of it off and just ate the cake part. Even on day one I found the chocolate covered strawberry cupcake to be dried out. And the chocolate coating had a strange oily flavor. The only cupcake I partly enjoyed was the kataifi filling in the Dubai chocolate cupcake. The crookie was okay. Very little of the chocolate chip cookie part had a crunchy crust. It mostly felt like eating raw dough texture if that's your thing. I wanted so bad to like the cupcakes but they were overpriced for the size and dry on day one. I'm a local so I will eventually try them out again. But, if I was visiting from out of town then I sadly would not return.
