Fairy Cakes Cupcakery

My husband and I got cupcakes from Fairy Cakes for our wedding reception in May, and a lot of our guests asked us where we got the cupcakes from because they were so good! The price is reasonable and everyone there are friendly and helpful. It is probably a good thing I don’t live near Fairy Cakes because I would go there all the time!

Amazing cupcakes! My boyfriend and i went here and got cupcakes on our anniversary and it was excellent! The frosting was so light and fluffy and the cupcakes were incredibly moist. The service was also fantastic! I loved it, looking forward to going back!

OMG. That’s all I can say. It was difficult to find because they don’t have their sign made yet, but once you find it, it is worth it. They are a little on the expensive side $ 3 a cupcake, but the taste will keep you going. I had an apple cupcake with a carmel crème frosting — what a way to enjoy life. So moist, so flavorful, so delightful. Just enough sweetness to get your taste buds interested. My husband had the vanilla cupcake. The frosting was sweet, the vanilla was not as good as mine — heavy cake not as light as I would like, but still tasty. The people are friendly and it is right by the zoo, so you can have a treat after seeing the zoo animals.

Yum. I pre ordered two dozen fairy funfetti mini cupcakes. Super easy ordering process and everything was exactly as I wanted it when I went in to pick them up. We were able to enjoy them after dinner and every agreed the cake was … yes, I’ll say it… moist and the icing was sweet but not overly sugary. They don’t recommend you refrigerate them and that’s important because if you get them too cold the frosting becomes crunchy! Too bad it was 90 degrees out the weekend I picked them up! Inside the shop is very large and comfy.
I think they do a great job and I certainly want to support small business so I will be returning to hopefully have another solid experience.

I ordered cupcakes for my daughter who was not feeling well. We live many miles away. Mo was sweet enough to arrange an ASAP delivery and, wow, did it make a difference in my daughter’s day. She told us that each was unique and amazing in its own way. She especially loved the salted caramel. She is a cupcake guru having moved from Washington DC and she said these rate very highly. I will be trying them, myself, in a few weeks. Thank you, Mo, and Fairy Cupcakes!!!

The cupcakes are delicious and the variety is plentiful. We ordered for my sons birthday and they were a huge hit. The site is clean and new but the thing I liked most was the service. So friendly and helpful. I was a first time customer and was treated like I’d been there fifty times.

Fairycakes has to be the best cupcakery I’ve ever been to. Everyone there is extremely friendly and willing to help you pick out the best cupcakes for your events. I would suggest the red velvet cupcake or the chocolate chip cupcakes. They also have the best chocolate chip cookies ever!

Fairycakes cupcakery is certainly amongst some of the tastiest good but so very evil deserts in the area! There so tasty delicious and moist with very unique flavors for sure!
One of these days if luck plays out I must try the Buffalo chicken wing cupcake! Now that’s about as different as they get!
Very quiet little nook inside to sit in and enjoy those mouth watering goodies! This place for sure has that famous slogan (one isn’t enough) and here is no exception to the rule either!
I can’t wait to try what they serve up next! I’ll be back!

Fairy Cakes Cupcakery is super cute! Every time I walk in I want to stay, have a cup of coffee and enjoy a cupake! But usually I just am in and out buying several cupcakes for a party. Recently I went in to buy some cupcakes for my mother’s birthday. She really liked the «Irish Carbomb» cupcake (so do I) but unfortunately they did not have any in stock. That didn’t stop me from not buying anything… all of the other cupcakes looked just as good! I purchased the salted caramel, a cookie dough cupcake, and a standard vanilla cupcake.
The frosting was delicious! So good! The actual cake part I was a little disappointed in that it tasted kind of dry. For $ 2.50−3.75 a cupcake I was expecting it to be a little more fresh? On the other hand these cupcakes are HUGE! Although I did manage to eat a whole one by myself…
The owners are very nice and gave me candles for the birthday!
I would definitely go back again!

We loved these cupcakes so much that we are having them for our wedding reception.
About 5 years ago, I was working a Canisius Camp, when one of the other coaches brought us cupcakes from his daughter (fairy cakes). I don’t even remember which flavor I had, but it was incredible!
Rewind to 2015 when my fiancé and I are in Buffalo and we are trying to figure out what to do for a wedding cake. One of our friends advised that we taste some cupcakes, so we go to the store front and try a cupcake. Unfortunately, but fortunately, we went with my cousins and parents, so we ended up getting almost every flavor.
WOW! Best cupcakes we have ever had, better than Crumbs (R.I.P) or DC cupcakes. Some reviews complained about the cakes because it has more of a muffin texture, but it is necessary to offset the flavor of the frosting, and this in fact works really well.
We loved the chocolate chip cookie dough so much that we are having a round for the wedding with that flavor inside the cake along with a decorated vanilla frosting. Surprisingly, the mini cupcakes with the round was a much more affordable price than a cake at Dessert Deli.
Lastly, Mo Torpey the owner, was such a pleasure to work with. We cannot wait for everyone to get a taste of the Fairy Cakes :)

I work across the street at the Zoo so naturally if I or any coworkers have a sweet tooth, we will do a cupcake run. This is a super cute spot with a real friendly staff. They always have a variety of cupcakes for their daily selections and they display their cupcake flavors on their Facebook page every day. You can really never go wrong with one of their red velvet cupcakes, which is on the menu every day to my knowledge. I really like their blueberry pancake cupcake with maple frosting and bacon pieces. It’s really one of the best things to break up your work day once in a while. I do suggest stopping by on a weekday or earlier in the day so all options will be available. Sometimes on weekends and in good weather, they can sell out due to the crowds and families across the street. We have many families on their way out ask about where to get a treat and we always refer them to head across the street to Fairy Cakes.

I usually don’t like cupcakes. I find them either too dry or too sweet or too bland or too overpowering. But, the cupcakes at fairy cakes are just… perfect. No matter which cupcakes I try from fairy cakes, they always manage to make me happy.
The cupcakes aren’t the only things I like about this place though. The store itself is pretty awesome too. Nice little decorations, cute furniture. Makes you feel comfy and right at home.
I think the only bad thing about this place is the odd hours they’re open. They’ve been closed quite a few times when I’ve tried to visit. So make sure you check their hours.

This was my first time ordering from fairy cakes… The cupcakes were truly delicious but pretty pricey! I ordered a dozen mini fairy-​fetti cupcakes and a dozen devils food cake with Oreo butter cream cupcakes. So 24 mini cupcakes (like 2 bites a piece) for I think $ 46. So almost 2 bucks a piece! I feel like that is a lot for mini cupcakes but when all is said and done they were a total hit and very tasty. I liked the Oreo butter cream frosting on the devils food cake… soooooo yummy! Definitely worth the visit!

I visited Fairy Cakes for the first time last week to satisfy my sweet tooth and absolutely loved it. The inside of the store is clean, inviting and super cute. They didn’t have much of a selection because they were working hard on private orders that day, but what they did have was delicious. I tried the chocolate stout cupcake with Bailey’s frosting and it was aaaaamazing. The frosting was to die for. Not too sugary, super creamy and amazing. And it was a pretty substantial cupcake too! I’ll definitely be going back for more soon and can’t wait to try more flavors.

Thing is, I’m not even a Cupcake kinda guy.
This place is right around the block from me, so I figured I’d check it out. The staff is extremely friendly and helped me narrow down my decisions. It was between the Loganberry or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I was talked into the cookie dough one, and holy crap, that was a phenomenon cupcake.
The frosting tasted just like cookie dough, and the cupcakes was moist. The bottom had a ‘cookie cake-​like’ texture that was unreal.
Easily the best cupcake I’ve ever had in my life… and I’ve had my fair share of cupcakes in my day. This was the first one that ever made me say «wow».
Give these guys a try, You won’t regret it!

Went to the zoo with Bradley on Sunday. As we were walking back to the car we ran into Fairy Cakes Cupcakery. I have heard of the bakery before, but have no idea where it was located. Until now.
We walked in and first thing I noticed was how cute the decorations were! People on Unilocal have complained that it looks like a little girl’s room. I think that was the point! With a name like «Fairy Cakes» it HAS to look like a little girl’s room!
I ordered the Red Velvet cupcake and Brad orders one with blueberries and a bacon flavored frosting. We pretended to be judges from our favorite TV show, Cupcake Wars. I know those judges hate when people make Red Velvet, but I loved it. I had the best cream cheese frosting ever! The cake was very moist and delicious. I had a bite of Brads as well. While I am not a fan of blueberries, I thought it, too, was delicious. I loved the bacon frosting.
We finished our cupcakes and I wanted to try another one. We got the dark chocolate with mint frosting to go. While our cupcakes was getting wrapped up, we had a chance to talk to the baker. She told us about all the different kinds they had and what sells the fastest. I definitely want to try their cookie dough or grasshopper next time. She said to check out their Facebook page and every day they post what cupcakes they have.
I definitely will come back here! Delicious cupcakes!

A very cute and spacious shop with plenty of seating. I could definitely see having a kids party here, though I didn’t notice much in the way of kid-​sized furniture. The air conditioning was very welcomed after playing tennis on a very hot afternoon.
The offerings were nicely displayed and labeled. We asked the friendly young lady behind the counter which cupcake flavors are typically the most popular. My friend decided on the popular «creamsicle» and I opted for the «brown sugar cake with cinnamon buttercream». I felt that the brown sugar cake had a consistency more like that of a muffin. It had a nice spice to it and wasn’t overly sweet. I tried the creamsicle and thought that it was a bit too sweet for my liking. Both the cake and frosting were quite sweet (we even left half of the frosting uneaten… gasp!).
Overall, it’s a great little place and a nice addition to the Parkside area. Although this was my first visit, I’ve been following them on Facebook for quite some time and I know that they are doing a very good business there. They also seem to keep very busy with various custom orders. I’m sure that it doesn’t hurt that they are conveniently located right across from the zoo!

And my saga for cupcakes never ends… but since I tried Zillycakes and Firefly I had to try my local Parkside spot. I went in and dropped $ 25 on cupcakes which I must say was the only downside to my whole experience (or I’m just a fatty). The cupcakes were great in interesting flavors (and bigger than my girl Zilly’s!). I must say… with enthusiasm… that I do believe Firefly’s were a better cupcake! The frosting on some of the cupcakes was just too sweet! But don’t get me wrong, I ate ALL of them. The best being the salted caramel… mmmmmmm!!! But now that Firefly is coming to Elmwood I think they might be my local pick. But if you love sweets as much as me I think this place is definitely worth a try especially to see what recipe they are cooking up this week!

Other reviewers have mentioned that the cupcakes lack freshness and flavor, and I completely agree. I was also disappointed by their selection for a Saturday afternoon. Maybe 9 or so varieties, and they didn’t have their novelty Buffalo hot wing cupcake, something I would expect them to carry on a weekend.
I picked the Elvis cupcake – banana cake with peanut butter frosting, honey drizzle, and bacon on top. I was excited but disappointed. The banana cake was bland and tasted as though it was baked, frozen, then thawed that morning to frost and put out for sale. It didn’t «wow» me and was a bit dry. On the positive side, there was a generous helping of the peanut butter frosting, but that, too, could have been a little more «peanut-​buttery.»
The store was nicely decorated but empty of people. The staff was friendly, but the people who work there are not going to keep me coming back– it will be because the cupcakes are out-​of-​this-​world. To be fair, I will try Fairycakes again on another Saturday afternoon to see if I have a better cupcake experience.

I wanted to love this place. Nearby my house, carrying my favorite treat, what more could I ask for? Well, freshness and flavor for starters.
I do admit to going there in the afternoon, never in the am, when perhaps they are fresher. But its cupcakes, for me an afternoon/​evening treat. Perhaps they are sitting out so long they seem a little stale by the time I get them.
Then, I have tried a few flavors, but none «hit the spot». Flavors don’t seem to be rich enough, yet the frosting/​icing is very sweet. Somehow so far none has been more than a 6 on a scale of 1 – 10. My cupcake companions have agreed with me, not the best cupcakes they have had.
At $ 2.75−3.50 a «cup», they are not cheap (although compared to some others in town a «bargain»), yet they do seem more on the mass produced side than I would have expected.
If I was rating just cupcakes, this would be a 3. However, I will give props to the simply lovely space you have created inside. It really is a warm nice place, and if I liked the cupcakes more I would move in. That space gets the rating an extra star. Its really terrific.
