I used Flavor Cupcakery for my recent wedding (11/20/2021), and I’m very pleased with that decision. Shelley was consistently quick to respond to any and all e-mails I sent her, and she provided just the right amount of guidance and suggestions along the way. The...entire process was incredibly straightforward, and I never once felt stressed about it. The cupcakes we ordered for our guests were a hit (Double Chocolate and Classic Vanilla), and the cutting cake we ordered for ourselves was almost too pretty to eat, but I’m glad we sliced it up, because it was delicious! Thank you for being part of our special day - you certainly made it sweeter! ;)More

We ordered online for Easter. Several selections were gluten free (GF) cupcakes for special special guests at our dinner. when the cupcakes were picked up, there were 3 missed from the order. Staff was notified and after a lot of confusion, they did not have...the GF black bottoms and gave him GF strawberry instead. Said they didn't have anymore left. We didn't want strawberry and that was not was ordered at 10:30 in the morning. If the computer system doesn't keep up with inventory online, then please don't use it. we should have been notified if they couldn't give us the order paid for! Staff showed no concern for their error either. Not even a apology. we will never order online again.More

We ordered 7 dozen for a baby shower and wanted to hand them out as favors. We asked for light fall colors of frostings and blush/pink. Since the fall October menu was up with special fall flavors, we chose that option and the raspberry amaretto...flavors . These cupcakes were absolutely the tastiest and most gorgeous cupcakes we have ever had. First of all the appearance of these beauties sets the taste buds on high alert. The dollop/swirl of frosting looks cloud-like and the garnishes hint the flavor of the cupcake. Next the cake part of the cupcake is fresh and moist with an amazing taste of it's flavored name. Some of them have a filling (surprise) in the center as well as the garnishes on top. They are not overly sugary sweet so the flavors are the dominant taste. These cupcakes are what one dreams a perfect cupcake should be. They are superbly dreamy HEAVENLY delights! We love the excellent communication and customer service as well. Our guests for the drive-by shower were thrilled with the favors as well and I am getting calls with many compliments. I highly recommend purchasing the cupcakes from this establishment. We all agreed after tasting them that if you purchase a cupcake anywhere else, you are wasting your money. The price is a little more than you would spend at a grocery store or another bakery but they are certainly worth it. We purchased seven dozen for pick-up along with individual clear plastic cupcake containers. The cupcakes in containers were layered in several bags with cardboard separations on each layer. The cupcakes were picked up and transported by car about 30 minutes. They arrived in great condition ready for presentation. These are great when you crave a dessert or they make a super special gift!More

Delicious cupcakes! If your looking to indulge.. this is the treat spot. The flavor options taste exactly as they are named. Strawberry cheesecake taste just as so. Moist cake and not too sweet icing. My daughter enjoyed the birthday cupcake and my other half said...the snickerdoodle tasted just like the cookies. Are they pricey, yes they are.. are you getting what you pay for, yes you definitely are. Lip smackin yummy.More

The Cupcakery has made their expanded space fresh and cheerful. One is "greeted" on entry by a huge selection of fresh cupcakes. The selection of macaroons is also large, and there are other pastry choices. There is a good choice of coffees. One can eat...at tables lining the wall with windows or take one's selections home. There is also a room where people can meet with staff to plan weddings and other occasions. Staff are friendly and helpful, and service runs smoothly from where one orders to the station where one collects and pays. A great place to get a late morning pick-me-up.More

The first time I tried Flavor was via their food truck at work. Great (but not for the waistline:-o) to have one so close. We've only tried the Cupcakes which are amazing although hear the cakes are excellent also . They have a good variety...of Chocolate based flavors as well cheesecake and fruit varieties & they do have seasonal flavors. Salted Caramel, Strawberry Cheesecake, S'mores & Red Velvet to name a few. Prices are competitive. Servers behind the counter are always smiling and helpful. A food Network Cupcake Wars winner that lives up to the hype!More

My first encounter was a chance meeting of the owner. And, i noted all the ingrediants she had at check out counter and that's when I learned about the Cupcakery. Gluten free and Vegan are just two of the many varieties. Carrot, Oreo and Cookies...and Cream just to mention a few. And, a free cupcake for every 100 you.buy.More

While waiting for our lunch order at the restaurant next door I decided to check out this place to see what type of goodies they had. There are lots of cupcakes to choose from, most with unique flavor combinations. I got a black bottom and...a cherry pie cupcake along with a salted caramel macaroon (After seeing so many posts lately about macaroons I have to admit, my curiosity was piqued). I had planned on taking the sweets home for later but we were hungry so we ate the macaroon and thank God we did because it was so delicious that I bought a half dozen more to take home. They are richer and have a much better texture than others I have tried. We took a couple to my mother in law and she loved them so now I have a great gift idea for her since she is so hard to buy for. The cupcakes were also very good but the macaroons will keep me coming back. The staff wasn't all that friendly which is why I didn't give 5 stars.More

We have traveled to many restaurants and have sampled great desserts in different areas . I am also from a family of homemade skillful cake bakers. As a judge of delicious cakes, I feel the Cupcakery is my top choice for excellent cupcakes. They even...won first prize in the war of cupcakes on the Food Network Channel. The Food Network Channel includes only the top Cupcakery's in the U.S. for the cupcake contest ( they call it war) I have to make sure my car does not steer me into their parking lot. ( somewhat kidding) I have so many favorite flavors. They are moist, decadent, delicious, beautiful, unusual and out of this world. I ordered them for my birthday party. The cupcakes were a big hit. Everyone loved them. The place is always busy. You can call ahead with special orders. A very pleasant staff helps you quickly . Flavor also has a reward program after so many purchases . The place is pretty, whimsical and exceptionally clean. .More
