Iveycake

In my opinion, best cupcakes in Franklin and Middle TN. They are absolutely amazing, and I’m a touch critic when it comes to cupcakes. The staff is also so welcoming and sweet! Love this place a little too much for my own good :)

Loved this place! Its the tiniest blink-and-you’ll-miss-it place. but the cupcakes are SO LEGIT. Lots of fun flavors (including some seasonal) to choose from. My personal favorite was the ‘I do’ wedding cake flavor cupcake. The staff were as sweet as their cupcakes! You have won’t regret visiting here. I can almost guarantee that you’ll leave with a smile. :)

These cupcakes are great. They’re not all icing like some of their previous competitors but the actual cake is very moist and yummy — I feel like it’s a very well balanced cupcake, icing to cake ratio. Haha seriously.
Minus 1 star because I feel like they’re never open when I go. I’ve only actually been able to get a cupcake twice but I’ve gone to the business maybe 10 times and they were closed. Weird hours? Inconsistent hours? Or maybe I just have terrible luck.
But nevertheless they’re tasty !

DELICIOUS!!!
I usually do not like icing. I’m very picky about the consistency and freshness, and I’ll scrape it off and eat just the cake portion. Not here! The icing is amazing. Oh it is so good.
I got the BFF cupcake. It’s a plain chocolate cupcake with cream cheese cookies and cream icing with an Oreo on top. The chocolate cupcake was so moist, and I could go on and on about the icing.
The cupcakes have adorable names and detailed descriptions which I really appreciate. The woman who helped us was very polite too. I’ll be back whenever I make it down to Franklin.

These are my favorite cupcakes in the world — and I’ve eaten a lot of cupcakes. I love the little boutique, and the staff is always super nice. The cupcakes are just incredible. My favorite is pumpkin, which is only offered in the fall, but every flavor I’ve tried has been outstanding. I have also ordered the mini cupcakes for events, and they were just perfect! Iveycake is by far the best in this area.

I love these cupcakes. WAY BETTER than the market dominating Gigis, they are moist, really like the frosting, and their flavors are good also. They’re aren’t too overwhelmingly huge just the right size.

Really enjoyed the variety of cupcakes they have. We got 4 different kinds to try and they were all delicious. The names they use are pretty funny too. I’m visiting from LA (where there are too many cupcake places to count) and the cupcakes here trumped many of the ones in LA. Coming here again next time I visit Franklin!

I was never a fan of cupcakes until I discovered Sprinkles (when I lived in California) but still I only wanted to eat the BEST cupcakes. My coworker was having her last day and I wanted to get cupcakes so I looked up places and decided to try Iveycake. They were amazing and my co workers loved them.
A few months later…
I work with dogs and it was my dogs Birthday so I wanted to get custom cupcakes I figured because Iveycake is so good it would be too expensive I looked around and none of the other places sounded right. I went to the Franklin location to ask questions they were very helpful and it turns out I think IveyCake ended up costing the least. Everyone thought they were super cute and they were delcious a few of my coworkers have confessed to going there multiple times after trying them at work.
So in short they have great customer service (at both locations), too many options, custom options for parties or just for fun. Everything is good so far my favorite might be the mint one its just like eating chocolate chip mint ice-​cream.
Thank goodness I don’t live near by or I would probable be stoping by everyday to try another flavor.

Best cupcakes to date! I’ve heard Carrie Underwood used them for her wedding cake– if this is true, I would absolutely understand why. They were most and delish! I hope to go back someday!

As I continue my search for the perfect cupcake — until I can make it to Magnolia Bakery in NYC — I believe I have found one of the South’s best offerings here in this Nashville suburb.
If I had to guess Iveycake’s secret, I would suggest that often falsely maligned cow product: butter. The cupcakes are moist without being sticky, and they seem to leave a thin film of butter on your fingers.
I tried the Salted Caramel and thought it was a perfect example of understated decadence — without that sickly, sugary taste you find at some of the chain cupcake establishments.
The bakery is small but seating is available at the adjacent deli which is charming in its own right. But who cares about ambiance when it comes to cupcakes! Heck, I’d eat a good one while sitting in a dumpster.

Below are what I think of the flavors I’ve tried. They are called different names in the store like Beach Bum, Bad Kisser, Etc, but to avoid confusion I thought I’d just be direct. You’re welcome.
Strawberry — meh. ok. not a strong strawberry flavor. I would have liked to see half a fresh strawberry on it or something. the cake part seemed a little dry. it was pretty and pink though.
Salted Caramel Vanilla — again, the cake part was just so so. the frosting was ok and i liked the touch of a pretzel on top even though the pretzel was a bit soft (which understandably happens when you put something hard like a pretzel into something soft like frosting)
Chocolate Mint — WONDERFUL!!! The chocolate cake part is heavenly. Rich and dense and moist. I wish I knew how to make a chocolate cupcake like this. the mint frosting is so good and i love the little andes mint on top. My favorite of their cupcakes and perhaps any cupcake place i’ve tried.
Chocolate Coconut — same sublime chocolate cake base. the frosing is like a mound of, well, mounds filling. dense and coconuty. solid cupcake.
Apple Spice — the only non chocolate cupcake i tried where the cake was flavored well and not too dry. it was appropriately spiced and homey. I liked the butterscotch frosting and pecans. one i would get again.
Bottom Line is that the chocolate cupcakes are wonderful, spiced ones are good, but the strawberry and vanilla ones I wouldn’t pay $ 3 per cupcake for.

They won best bakery in Nashville for a reason. They truly are the BEST! The cupcakes are the most delicious cupcakes I have ever tasted in my entire life. And I’ve tasted a LOT of cupcakes! The staff is very helpful and sweet. The store itself is beautiful and the cupcakes are gorgeous! I LOVE IVEY CAKE!
EDIT — their CAKES are just as delicious as their cupcakes. FYI! Amazing! :)

I enjoy a lot of different cupcakes, but if I’m choosing… this is the one.
I don’t care what flavor is your liking — you will love something there and it will become your new fav.
My current addiction when I allow it, their Red Velvet. OMG. Sooo good it’s what I’d call «smack your mama good.» So moist your fingers are slightly buttery after you eat it. Yep, seriously. Cream cheese icing so smooth and rich you thnk you can’t possibly finish it, but it’s just a simple little cupcake…
I love the boutique-​feel, love the owners and friendly clerks, and love that they are connected to Franklin Mercantile. Stop there for breakfast, grab cupcakes for lunch, your day is done.
I surprised a scrapbooking group I went to in Springfield one time with a dozen of these for sharing. and they were all claiming to sell their houses and move to Franklin. I agree they should, but for more reasons than just cupcakes. Although…
Stop in, you won’t be sorry — unless you’re on a diet!

Lovely cupcakes.
My husband and I made two visits to Iveycake during a weekend trip to Franklin. We had a variety of cupcakes and each one was it’s own kind of amazing. Seriously. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

I’m not on the cupcake bandwagon but the IveyCake in Franklin is just so charming and the cupcakes have cute names. (Maybe all cupcake shops have cute names? Like I said… not a cupcake-​o-​phile.) I actually like the cake part. it’s not all about a pile of frosting.

The Iveycake shop is as cute as it can be and it’s cupcakes are definitely eye candy. The icing is deliciously sweet & dense but turns each cupcake into a very top heavy cupcake! The cake reminded me of Crumbs with a texture almost like sweetened cornbread. Nonetheless, they were still a delicious treat after lunch & I would go back again!

I’ve never been a huge fan of cupcakes, but I simply adore Iveycake. First of all, connecting it to Franklin Mercantile Deli… genius! The owner is exactly what you would expect the owner of a cute cupcakery to be like. The cupcakes are phenomenal. Like one of the previous reviewers said, Iveycake actually pays attention to the cake part. They even have great names for the cupcakes: «The Crazy Ex», «The Bad Kisser», «Hot Mess». The whole place has that sense of cutesy Southern humor that I’m usually not fond of, but in a cupcake shop it’s perfect! There’s a sign at the register that reads: «Salt increases your blood pressure. Sugar increases your smile.» Love it!
The two I need more of in my life: S’mores and Chocolate Ganache covered Coconut. Yes ma’am!

Confession: I don’t get the cupcake craze. There are all these cupcake stores sprouting up faster than cookie-​cutter subdivisions. I’ve never been impressed by cupcake bakeries until I had IveyCake.
Unlike most cupcake stores, IveyCake focuses on the cake part, or at least cares about making it really really good. Instead of putting a small, mediocre cupcake at the bottom of a pound of frosting, IveyCake has about 10 different cake choices and wonderfully paired frostings. They’ve given fun relationship-​themed names to each combo, such as Gold Digger, Bad Kisser, Crazy Ex, and Big Dreams. The staff is helpful, plus it’s fun to ask the owner questions like, «Tell me about your Crazy Ex. Should I try that?»
Skip the other cupcake places and give IveyCakes a shot. I’ve even had them at weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. They’re always a crowd pleaser.
Tip: Arrive early to get the best selection. Check their website for the hours and days they are open, because they sometimes change.

I don’t know what’s sweeter – the red velvet or Ivey the owner, but either way they make a mean cupcake. Featured on Food Network’s ‘Cupcake Wars.’
Banana cupcake is awesome as is anything with the cream cheese frosting. Country music and a cupcake anyone?

The beat cupcakes i’ve had outside of New York City. They’re exceptional. GiGi’s is awful … This place should replace all of these GiGi’s popping up around town.
I had the vanilla/​vanilla and the red velvet. Couldn’t have been happier.
I will drive from downtown Nashville just to have Iveycake. A+++++
