    That's don't impress me much!…read more That's the feeling I have. Queens Cup has been on my list for about 3 years. I admit, I am weak for frosting so I figured this had to be a win for me. Good location, tough parking if you can't get in their small lot and good luck scoring a table (i think there were only 2!) But that's not the reason for disappointment. It's the product. Magic cookie bars are one of my favorite sweet treats so I had to buy one (at a high cost of $7!) It's heavy and dense but the flavor... the crust was inconsistent. Too thick and too think at points. The taste... it tastes like an M&M (with a slight hint of coconut.) I could have saved myself a lot of money just buying a bag of M&M's. But I don't like M&M's! See the problem? (And there were small M&M's on the top which is ok but it was overpowering.) I also had to try something cupcake related right? My daughter got a huge slice of funfetti cake. I had one layer of the cake. I can share the frosting was thick and dense. I like it sweet and melts in my mouth. Thus was not that. The cake itself was dense too. I was my cake fluffy. Overall I was let down and Queens Cup is off the return list.

    Updating my review to reflect the continued lack of gluten-free offerings. And the few offerings…read moreavailable are usually also vegan. Since they've redesigned the space (years ago at this point), I have not been thrilled with a visit here. It's not bad, but I will no longer go out of my way to go here.

    I'm newish to the area and I've been hearing a buzz about this place for a while, so I had to check…read moreit out. There are two locations but the one in Canton is temporarily closed. This one is located in Avon in the Old Avon Village plaza. There were plenty of parking when I went. The bakery is pretty spacious with some tables and seats. The display was filled with delicious looking cupcakes and other treats. They are known for their cupcakes. I got a few different ones to try with my family; the Oreo, funfetti, and brownie flavors. We were all very happy with the outcome; they were moist and up there with the best cupcakes I've had in a while. They also have gluten free, vegan, mini cupcakes, and cupcakes kits. Other treat options were the chocolate covered Oreos and cannoli chips and dip. I bought a few of those Oreos and they didn't disappoint. I can't wait to go back and try out more treats!

    This lovely place is already rated one of the top cupcake shops in CT so the 5 stars should come as…read moreNO surprise. Their Avon location is cute and quaint and boy of boy does it smell good when you walk in! I've gone here many times to get some sweet treats for the kids and I. They NEVER disappoint. My daughter usually cons me into getting way more than we need but I'm never truly upset about it because everything is so good. I for one am not a big super sweet frosting person. I've always preferred the whipped cream frosting or cream cheese frosting but their buttercream is something that even I enjoy. They keep their peanut butter options completely separate from the other flavors and even asked if I wanted my peanut butter cupcake in a separate box for allergy purposes. They offer dietary accommodations including gluten free and vegan as well and they have a table of delicious chocolate dipped Oreos and beautiful hot cocoa bombs. There's also an ice cream counter. They even have something for the 4 legged friends!! With multiple locations they are pretty accessible to give a try

    If variety is the spice of life, then Frosted Swirl has all of the flavor you need to fill your…read moreadventure palette. Even though small, each cupcake is a solid bite, with just the right amount of filling and frosting. My recommendation, is that unless you have a solid dislike of a particular flavor, just go for a surprise variety. I guarantee you will miss out on some unique flavors that may not have been chosen by how you feel at a particular moment. For example, we had a surprise chocolate chip pancake cupcake, with the miniest of pancakes on top of the frosting swirl with a maple something in the middle.Yum I also love the very simple cherry cupcake- with a cherry filling and drizzle. My daughter also had these cupcakes as a tower at her wedding a few years ago, and after everyone was full from dinner, these were the perfect little thing to munch on before, during, and after hitting the dance floor. The professionalism and perfection that go into each cupcake is to be seen, and tasted, in person.

    Valerie at Frosted Swirl Cupcakes was wonderful! She was so accommodating, organized, and her…read morecupcakes are incredible! Her flavor combinations are fantastic. My favorite was the Maple Chocolate Chip Pancake and my wife's was the Peanut Butter Cup, but they were truly all delicious. We chose to do a variety of mini cupcakes for our wedding and our guests LOVED them. We maybe had 5 left over, and that is with us ordering more than recommended. Valerie also worked with us to do a wedding cutting cake and executed our design preference perfectly. She also perfectly handled the delivery, set up of the cupcakes on her displays (would recommend purchasing that option), as well as the pickup of the displays (would also recommend purchasing that option). She was so considerate of our time and space that I couldn't even say thank you! We could not be happier and are so glad we chose Frosted Swirl to be our baker for our wedding.

    At the suggestion of my Yelp friend Anne C, I visited A Cupcake for Later while I was in…read moreWillimantic for the day. Appropriately, I was not buying cupcakes for contemporaneous consumption. They were indeed for . . . Later. I bought 5 different flavors to share with my family. I bought two lemon, because I definitely wanted to try the lemon. I also bought a Chocolate Peanut Butter, a Biscoff,, a Salted Caramel Butter Pecan, and a Strawberry. I tried the lemon and the Salted Caramel. The cake and icing in both were fresh, and had good flavor and texture. The flavors were accurate to description. There was a small reservoir of flavoring that extended from the bottom of the icing layer into the cake. That's always a nice touch in my book. My one note rating-wise, is that the cupcakes were not as ornate as the top tier CT cupcake places I've been to. Still tasty though. The shop was more functional than cute, but it was definitely professional and clean. Service was helpful and friendly. 4.25 Stars

I ordered cupcakes for a birthday celebration for my husband who lives in a nursing facility. I picked them up the day before and they were perfectly packaged for travel. After keeping them refrigerated as required they were fluffy and delicious. The fillings and toppings so rich and fresh! They disappeared as if by magic! I sampled the lemon cream, Boston cream and the carrot cake. But the menu is quite large and price points vary by size and "fanciness." You're sure to find something delicious for an event or just to have with a cup of tea. They make cakes as well from small size to all size wedding cakes. The service was flawless from phone order to pickup and the staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this wonderful spot for a treat for now ... or later!
