Rockin’ Cupcake

I love this place! Cupcake is so moisted & best there is! It’s a must! Sad this place closed down.

This store is closed.

We had our daughter’s birthday party here… Great fun! Karaōke, cupcakes and coffee :)
The décor was very girly, but that fit our occasion well.
The cupcakes we a little on the sweet side, but the red velvet was the best cakes. It now looks like this place has closed for good :(

Just came down when they were closed nd they let me in because I so desperately wanted one of their delicious cupcakes. Best frosting around!!! Come in often nd love it

I agree, I don’t understand the negative reviews for this place. I have been here three separate times and have never been dissapointed. The frosting is incredible and the cake itself was perfect. Don’t get me wrong, when I first went to Icing on the Cupcake I thought they were the bomb. However, this place is serious competition for them. The Nilli Vanilli is fantastic with the vanilla beans, yummy! and I’m really not a vanilla person. My advice is go have a cupcake here and be your own judge.

Ok I went here only because I had a
coupon. The cupcakes were ok, but icing on the cupcake is better. The variety was pretty bleh, my 7 year old barely even touched her cupcake. I had the snickers cupcake and was not impressed. Glad I only paid $ 5 for $ 10 worth.

I get my nails done at the salon next door so I wandered over one day and saw a birthday party in action. The idea of decorating your own cupcake was just fabalous to the little girls and boys. So I decided to I have my daugther’s 6^th birthday party there. She, the kids and myself had a wonderful time. The cupcakes are a perfect size, very moist and not overdone with icing.

The décor is very awesome and the staff is helpful and fun.
However, there isn’t much to say about the cupcakes themselves. The frosting is not great; taste store bought. The cupcake itself was a bit dry and made me sick. I ate a red velvet one and shortly after got sick but it was after dinner so I wasn’t sure if it was the cupcake. The next day I ate my orange cupcake and same results, I got sick again. I’m never eating there again.

Yes, the décor is very cool. Yes, the staff is helpful and fun.
However, aside from that there isn’t much to say about the cupcakes themselves. The frosting is not great; it is about as good as the canned kind you could purchase from the store. The cupcake itself was a bit dry. I tried the lemon and the red velvet and was not happy with either. I ended up eating a bite from each and throwing the rest away. The cupcakes did not rock my world.

To fully appreciate this review, you must first read my review of Cupcake Craving…
Ok, this was stop number two to find the best cupcake in Folsom to serve at our post-​elopement celebration. First impression was not all that great, walked in and there was no one at the counter. So I waited… and waited… and waited… finally I started to walk back into the kitchen to find the owner and an employee frantically working away.
Upon explaining that I was looking to buy 4 dozen cupcakes for my party, the owner was extremely accommodating and gave me a little taste of everything! Everything I sampled was moist (I hate dry cakes) and the flavors were so unbelieveably pure… it was like a taste explosion in my mouth. I narrowed my choice down to the red velvet (thought that was kind of weddingish) and placed my order. The cupcakes were so good… didn’t have to look anywhere else.
Ok, so now for the rest of my review. I prepaid, which seemed like a reasonable request since I had a pretty big order. The cupcakes were supposed to be ready at 4:00 on Saturday. About 3:00 on the day I’m supposed to pick them up, I get a call from the owner wondering if I still want the cupcakes because I never came in and paid for them! Now it’s panic time! We have 50ish people coming to our house in a few hours and no cupcakes! Luckily, we got the payment debacle taken care of. now on to problem number two. the cupcakes won’t be ready on time. The owner felt really bad and even offered to deliver them, but my husband went and picked them up (I wasn’t about to let the future of my party’s dessert rest on this lady!) and I must say that when he got home… all the mixups were forgotten… the cupcakes were gorgeous and tasted even better than I remembered. I would defintely go back, but if I was placing a big order, I would be proactive about calling ahead to check on it.

I still love this place. If it is possible, I love it even more than when I wrote my previous review. I recently found myself in the odd predicament of needing one gluten free and one vegan cupcake to accommodate kids in my son’s class on his birthday (I baked the rest of the cupcakes myself). Not only did RCC oblige, but they made my cupcakes and had them ready upon opening the store! Wow! I mean, I only bought a $ 1 cupcake and they really went out of their way. I really appreciate the stellar and dying breed of exceptional customer service they provided.
Thanks, RCC!

1 star because of the cool atmosphere/​décor
1 star for the cupcake not being terrible, but not much more to say than that. That being said, I ate about 3 bites and the rest of my $ 2.88 is going in the bin.

The cupcakes crumbled because they weren’t dense cake, and the frosting was lacking in flavor. Additionally, there wasn’t a selection when I went. Maybe four basic flavors left, so I got two minis. I didn’t finish them.

If you judge your cupcakes by their frosting then you should place this place at the top of your Folsom Cupcake list.
Given that this area used to be a barren wasteland of cupcakes, I’ve been known to eat a cupcake just because it was a cake in the form of a cup with frosting and it was local. But now that we have 3 cupcake shops to choose from, I can start to be a bit discriminating.
I’m a plain vanilla girl when it comes to flavors as in I like a nice white cake with vanilla frosting. Rockin Cupcakes has a very moist vanilla cupcake, where the crumbs aren’t stale and doesn’t fall apart when you bite into it. You can also feel the nicely baked top when you bite into it like a muffin top.
The frosting almost melts in your mouth which is how I like it. If you want your frosting to pop off like a hat, go to Cupcake Craving (where this has happened to me), if you want to bite down and feel the sugar crystals along your teeth, go to Icing on the Cupcake, but if you want a smooth, not-​cloyingly sweet frosting with visible vanilla beans which perfectly compliment the cake it sits atop of, go to Rockin Cupcake Café.
Up until now I’d always sneak off to Icing on The Cupcake when I had a wicked urge for cupcakes only to sort of regret it once my tastebuds were overloaded with the smack of sugary frosting on their cakes. The frosting at Rockin Cupcake Café’s leaves me with less of this residual snack guilt since it is sweet without being over the top and just the right texture.
I’m not a Red Velvet or chocolate cake person so can’t judge based on those factors. But for frosting this place wins hands down. It’s so good they even sell frosting shots (cups of frosting) to enjoy on their own. I haven’t ever had one but seems like something to enjoy if ever on a carbohydrate bender.
Only criticisms are the cupcakes are smaller than the rest (though that’s probably for the best), sometimes there were no vanilla cake options (all chocolate cake or other), needs a website or some place to check on their daily flavors and closed on Sundays. I hope this place lasts but something tells me it’s hidden in plain sight.

Just had my daughter’s 5^th birthday party there. Her and 6 of her friends decorated cupcakes, played games, danced and truly had a blast. Very nice alternative to the usual birthday parties. My only recommendation would be to have the staff trained a little better on how to run a party. Very nice girls, just a little green about being the host. Would recommend this place for sure.

The Rockin’ Cupcake Café has been open for ~3 weeks now.
They had some samples of gluten free chocolate cupcakes that were really chocolately and decadent. Also, they had a «healthier» version of carrot cakes.
I tried the unhealthy version of the carrot cupcake here at Rockin and I was very pleased with the soft frosting because I think the frosting @ Icing on the Cupcake is too hard in texture and too sweet. So yay for the nice frosting at Rockin.
The cake itself was moist and with a special touch of pineapple. The nuts were wholesome and wonderful in the cupcake. I am a big fan of Red Velvet myself but I can settle for a Coco Velvet without the food coloring if Rockin decides to make it.
The truth is that I’ve been eating A LOT of cupcakes lately, even attending the Cupcake Wars in SF this past weekend so I thought this Rockin Place was pretty good and I really love that they try to make cupcakes healthy and edible for those who cannot have gluten and have other special dietary needs.
Would really love to see MORE creative flavors since this place seems like such a fun creative place with the decore and cupcake names… Maybe offer green tea cupcakes? Earl grey lavender? maybe something spicy like a Mexican hot chocolate?
They have decently priced drinks to go with your cupcakes. Ice milk anyone?

OMG another cupcake place in Folsom! But this one is better cause it’s a «café» you can get drinks that are pretty cheapers :)
Priced competitively
++This place is experimenting with healthier cupcake options like gluten free, low sugar, and vegan!
Rockin’ CC has the potential to be what you want it to be. They are eager to meet customer needs
Let it begin, the cupcake wars, battle ground: Folsom!

Adorable spot, if a little hard to find.
True to it’s name, it has a music themed, well, everything. The cupcakes have music names, a piano mural and overall great environment. I do think someone else mentioned the cupcake walk, which is a nice touch for the kids and the seating is fantastic.
Now to the cupcakes. They serve in small batches, which I find refreshing. I have been to Icing on the Cupcake and got a headache from the pile of overly sweet «poop» frosting and unimaginative garnishes. They do not have the same flavors everyday. But always have the basic vanilla (real vanilla bean!!! Finally someone is brave enough) and chocolate. Someone mentioned not having red velvet and I had a different experience. They will make the vegan red velvet as long as you let them know ahead of time and just order the regular cream cheese frosting. One of the flourless ones is so good, (I tried a sample) I bought it and had no problem paying the extra quarter for it. The carrot cake was good.

Not sure if Folsom needed another cupcake shop, but I definitely like the fact that this one has seating! I liked my cupcake, and the kids enjoyed the cupcake walk (a little musical cupcake dance to get a free cupcake). All the cupcakes are named after songs, and the store has lots of music-​related decorations. I had the lemon cc with lemon curd and lemon frosting. It tasted homemade, cake had a good texture, not airy, and the frosting was not too sweet. It was also a regular cupcake size, not the ginormous ones we get from Icing on the Cupcake. So that was a little off-​putting, since the cost was $ 2.75, which is more than IOTC. Loved all the seating and the fact that they had coffee/​tea/​hot chocolate. Service was amateur… teens falling over themselves, not sure what to do, snapping at each other… hopefully that stops soon!

I heard there was a new cupcake place in Folsom, so I though I’d check it out.
First off, nice place, I like the color scheme and the way it’s decorated. But that’s not why we’re here. We’re here for CUPCAKES!
–1 star for the lack of flavors
–1 star for the fact that their cupcakes look like cupcakes that I can make myself
–1 star for purposely not serving Red Velvet Cupcakes
I came in, and the flavors were lacking. When I had asked (I assume it was the owner) if they had red velvet cupcakes, she had said that she decided not to make red velvet cupcakes because of all the red dye that goes into the recipe. Now, I understand that red dye is bad, and blah blah blah, but if you don’t want to eat it, then don’t. But I know that everyone just loves red velvet cupcakes. It’s a little treat that someone likes to have once in a while. Right after I had asked, another guy came in looking for red velvet cupcakes as well. She said no, and he went on his way. I think this might be a bad business tactic.
I felt bad for coming in and not buying anything, so I bought one of their Vanilla cupcakes. It was okay, nothing to rave about. the cupcake itself tasted as if it had been sitting there for a while. Kinda hard in some areas of the cupcake, which was a turnoff.
All in all, a sub-​par cupcake place. I think they need to really step up their game, especially with 2 other cupcake places right down the street.
