Cupcakes & Co

They are still in business, just not at this location. I believe they moved their business to Irwindale.
The frosting consists of vegetable shortening (crisco) and some butter, with powdered sugar. The actual cake part of the cupcake is good.
a lot of people like these, but I just don’t. I think the frosting is poorly made. I would cut back WAY more on the crisco product. It might actually become a great cupcake. I have to say when these are ordered at my work, I cringe. The site of them is pure disappointment. They look beautiful, really they do. But they lack in flavor and texture. It’s too bad, because if they just refined the way they made the frosting they would have something of great quality.

I really, really love these cupcakes… and I’m not really a cupcake person. They’re really light & fluffy but also don’t skimp on the flavor. Since their shop closed down I call them up & buy a dozen every month or so just to tide me over… Just google them & they’re very friendly! Only bummer is that you have to wait a day to get them, but they’re worth it!
Mmmm…Nutty Monkey Love…

Best cupcakes ever! They’re huge and delicious! I’m so sad that they’ve left their storefront and hope they open a new one soon. I’m seriously jonesin for a cupcake!
PS I’m shocked at some of the poor reviews — I’ve been here many times and never had a bad experience. Their cupcakes are always moist and rich in flavor, and piled high with creamy, amazing frosting. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

My husband and I would always treat ourselves to these cupcakes when the storefront was on Magnolia. We’ve tried many other cupcake stores in the area, but nothing compares to our favorites we had there.
I recently planned a surprise 30^th birthday party for my husband. Even though the storefront no longer exists… you can still order the best cupcakes and cakes in Burbank for pick-​up or delivery. They designed a cake for us that was above and beyond anything I could have ever dreamed up to match our party’s theme. It was not only amazing to look at, but the most delicious chocolate cake I’ve ever eaten. The cupcakes were always our favorite, but this cake was more moist and the perfect balance of richness and sweetness. WOW!!! Everyone at the party was asking who made it.
Thanks Cupcakes & Co for being so attentive to detail and creating the perfect centerpiece for the party!!! Can’t wait for MY birthday cake. Strawberry is my favorite :)

My review will only be for the cupcakes. I have not been to the bakery yet for the service, location or ambiance.
My friend got me cupcakes from here and I tried a bit of it. They are huge cupcakes. I couldn’t even eat one whole one. I only took bites of some and was full. I guess this would be good for sharing with other people.
Red Velvet — alright. It was a bit dry but the frosting and the sprinkles (glitter!) was delicious! :D But I could not finish it.
Chocolate — I’m not a fan of chocolate and I only had a piece because I’m not a fan… it was alright. Don’t judge it on my chocolate review.
The cupcakes are HUGE. They could feed two small people. So I guess it’ll save you money.
Overall… eh go to Vanilla or Dots.
… Once I go visit the store, I’ll write a more thorough review.

Good Freaking Cupcakes…
psst psst, it is all in the frosting but to be honest if they had no frosting on them they would be just fine…
Stop by and give them a try! Delicious

This was my first visit – ever –to a cupcake store. My first choice was sprinkles, Crumbs, and then this place I end up going to because I work right across the street! I really was curious to see if all this cupcake hype was really goood as they say, and well – it was ALLRIGHT! The icing on my red velvet and my boyfriend’s carrot cake cupcake was kinda melted? Maybe cause it was 9PM and they bake their freshest cupcakes in the morning. If you don’t wanna drive too far for a cupcake this place is good!
I wanna try CRUMBS @ The Americana, next :)

Went back because I found myself in the neighborhood after visiting Ikea. Someone different was working the counter. She offered to walk me through the very full display of cupcakes, which was a problem last time. She was very sweet and helpful!
Wicked is my new favorite! It’s a chocolate cupcake topped with cheesecake, then chocolate ganache, then it’s rolled in white and milk chocolate curls. SO GOOD!
After an already fantastic visit, Maryanne came out to leave. Maryanne and her mother were on Food Channel’s Cupcake Wars! When I told her that I loved her stores and that I thought she should have won, she gave me a handshake and chatted with me.
Overall, it was fantastic! It’s cheaper to get a dozen — $ 30 instead of $ 36+

Been wanting to try this place for a while so when I finally walked in and saw the beautiful cupcakes inside, i couldnt wait to take one home and stuff my face with it. The frosting was okay but when I bit into the bread itself. it was like wtf? It was bland and dry. Definitely not fresh!
It was supposed to be a mango cupcake and nowwhere did I taste mango. I thought maybe I got the one bad cupcake and proceeded to try the other one I bought which was the banana with walnut. I had the same wtf moment… Frosting was okay but the bread was mediocre. Dry and no flavor. So I guess I’ll just drive farther out to get my fill of cupcakes somewhere else

I can’t speak to the cupcakes as I have never had one here. For my birthday, however, my special lady friend got me a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream something or other. I’m not much of a desert guy but holy diabetes, this was some amazing stuff. According to my girlfriend, the staff was very friendly and they gave her the candles for free. I’m sure that’s all true. Now give me more cake.
On a related note, it’s amazing how much cake the human body can hold.

Cute little shop in Burbank — watch out Yummy Cupcakes! We drove by it on our way to dinner and I declared that I HAD to try this place! After dinner I was worried that they closed, but they were open until 10pm! You never see that so you know they’re smart about catering to Burbank’s nightlife.
Only a few cupcakes were on display but the chick working there was very well-​informed and listed others that were available in the back. She mentioned that they make them to order, which I think is pretty ballsy — you want cupcakes NOW but you also want them fresh so you gotta be a little patient. I ordered a red velvet and a blueberry with cream cheese frosting and graham cracker crumbs.
First of all the cupcakes are HUGE! You do get what you pay for ($ 3.25ea to be exact). The red velvet was good — I thought the frosting was alright, too runny for my taste but then I found out that it’s a whipped cream cream cheese. Interesting. But not amazing.
The blueberry was excellent. I ate the whole thing for breakfast w/​my morning tea :) I loved how moist the cake was, how perfect the frosting was and how fresh the blueberries were.
This was definitely a good find and I would probably go back after a movie or something.

I’m not really a fan of cupcakes. Or dessert in general. But I had a REALLY good one today.
Today, one of my co-​workers brought in a box of cupcakes from Cupcakes & Co. It was a variety pack of 12 cupcakes — 6 flavors, 2 each. I was lucky enough to pull a blueberry cupcake… and it was DELICIOUS.
The cake itself was nice and fluffy, and filled with plenty of blueberries. There weren’t too many though, as the cake did not turn the least bit soggy. The cream cheese frosting was pretty light… it seems like they use less powdered sugar than other bakeries. I hate thick, heavy frosting, which I usually scrape off. This was perfect. Not to mention, there were maybe 10 (TEN!!) fresh blueberries on top, and a ring of sweet, nutty, and crunchy crumbs.
THANKS FOR THE CUPCAKES, DON! BRING MORE!!!

I’m still giving this 4 stars, because although the cupcakes are divine and I like the location, both times I’ve been there they have like 4 or 5 types of cupcake only. :-(
I WILL SAY HOWEVER… This time I tried the banana cupcake with cream cheese frosting, praline almonds and caramel. AMAZING!

To be honest, I’m not much of a cupcakes fan when it comes to choosing something to eat for dessert. I’d usually resort to a nice fruit boba drink, ice cream, cookie, or a combination of the three for a sweet fix. However, my family went here on a recommendation from a friend, who told us about this place. Curious, we found a place to park, and we went inside.
The shop itself is quite small on the inside. There is a small bar table with several chairs, but my guess is that this place is meant for take-​out. I had a hard time deciding what kind of cupcake to get, so the people behind the counter suggested that we try the ube/​taro and cheese cupcakes. We ended up ordering the ube and cheese cupcakes. The ube pastry tasted really good, but the cheese cupcake… WOW, it tasted like sheer bliss for me! It’s akin to a really good cheese bread, but in a muffin form. Crisp on the outside, and great cupcake texture on the inside (hence the rating). I ended up liking the cheese cupcake so much (there must be some magical, mystery ingredient that makes it so good!) that my family ended up ordering a dozen of the individually-​wrapped mini cakes.
Overall, if you are looking for a great cheese pastry that comes in the form of a cupcake, go to Cupcakes & Co. Granted, it’s located in a place where it may be hard to park your car (we ended up circling the parking garage a few times!), but if you’re getting cheese cupcakes only, it’s definitely worth the trip.
Based on that experience, I’ll have to try the other flavors available at this bakery on future visits.

–Red Velvet Cupcake Review–
A friend bought a box of these sweet little things after dinner at my house. She knew I’m a red velvet cupcake junkie and always on a hunt for a good one. The cake was simple and light, the frosting was just right, not too much cream cheese flavor and not too little. Basically, it was an A-​OK RVC!

Friend brought this over one day and I thought the cupcakes were just okay. Considering that there is so much competition in LA for the best cupcake this place is not it.
The frosting was just okay and the home made look made it seem like I could potentially make this at home.
For how overpriced the cupcakes are now a days it needs to be amazing.

I love the cupcakes here, however when a friend threw a bridal shower for my wife, they ordered a huge cupcake and it was a nightmare even getting the manager lady on the phone to order it. After several Attempts and the lady not returning phone calls she got the large cupcake. With was put on a flat piece of cardboard, like a pizza box, and she said it would be ok even though we knew and insisted it wouldn’t. Sure enough it fell over and we had to improvise by taking the half smashed cupcake and make it look like it came like that. When she called and complained the lady offered no service to remedy the situation.
Good cupcakes,
BAD BAD service.
Customer service is important now a days. Hope Th’s biz can afford to lose us and the 1000’s we know

stumbled on this cupcakery and decided to check it out. the quality of the cupcakes could be better. the only reason i picked one out of the window was because it was UBE flavor. that’s when i found out from the cashier that the owners were pinoy. the cake was dry. if it weren’t for the frosting, i would have had to wash it down with something. i have to give them some for the frosting, however. it was ok and creamy… and not too sweet (typical Goldilocks type of icing). as for the quality of their cupcakes, i think they are overpriced at $ 3. the cool thing is they’re open till 10pm.
on an interesting note, i was informed that their specialty is the cheese (cheddar) cupcake. they’re not frosted… i imagine it’s the cupcake version of an ensaymada. and, their biggest distributor is Seafood City… if you don’t want to go all the way to Burbank to try one, grab one at your nearest Seafood City (they also travel all the way to the Las Vegas location!).

Havent had the cupcakes here, so i cant speak on that…
I’ve had the apple pie. VERY GOOD… Best apple i’ve had in a while. Someone was kind enough to bring us one at work, while it was still warm. This apple pie was a monster. It’s piled high… Crust on top had a lil bit of streusel & brown sugar. The apples were thinly-​sliced and generously distributed. It wasn’t too heavy on the cinammon, Just the way I like it. Damn delicious… I had 2 servings. It was perfect.
We were also fortunate to sample one of their Ube cakes. YUM… Ube is a type of purple yam used in desserts from the Philippines. I’m traditionally not a fan of Ube cakes or rolls. But this was REAL GOOD. It was not very rich. It was deliciously light… The cake itself was moist, the frosting was light and had a hint of Ube in it (that was different, good different) and there was a layer of Ube in the middle of the entire cake. Hands-​down BEST Ube cake I’ve had… Though I’m no expert, I dare you to find one better tasting.

A received a gift of six cupcakes from Cupcakes & Co last week, and three of them are still languishing in my breadbox.
The red velvet has cream cheese frosting that is so shiny and slick, it reminds me of the time I licked Crisco off a spatula. It was like a tasteless, oily nightmare of a cupcake with a dense almost brownie-​like cake finish.
The Strawberry shortcake cupcake looked promising enough to try, with its crumb-​cake base and moist yellow cake sitting precociously atop (it all fell apart when I bit into it), but unfortunately it was topped off with the same tall oily dollop of slime for frosting– only this time it was tinted pepto bismol pink and adorned with a gelatinous strawberry.
I was originally excited to try the green tea flavor, but I think I will give it a pass. Sprinkles didn’t gain such popularity serving cupcakes that taste like this…
