The Cupcakery

Very very good! Our faves were strawberry shortcake, tickle me pink and red velvet! Well worth the price!

I love this cupcake store. My coworkers would bring me cupcakes from here because they knew how much I love sweets. The cupcake itself is dense and moist — so, if you’re searching for a lighter cake, keep searching — the icing is thick and perfectly sweet, and the cupcakes always look really cute arranged on the platforms.
So far, I’ve tried: Bugsy (carrot cake), Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Coconut Bliss, Kir Royale, Mocha Mocha, Mound of Joy, Oh My Gosh — Ganache, Southern Belle (red velvet), Strawberry Shortcake, Strawberry Lemonade, and PB Twist. Oh My Gosh — Ganache and Strawberry Lemonade were the ones that made me fall in love with this place. I’m a huge fan of the unique flavors, the texture of the cake, the icing, everything.
Basically, I have a dangerous obsession with cupcakes, and The Cupcakery doesn’t help it at all.

My favorite cupcake place in the area. Before I discovered the cupcakery I went to dimples cupcakes in downtown Frisco a few times and was always disappointed. Same few cupcakes to choose from, very sugary, the icing just simply is not good. Now the cupcakery has it right. Great selection, with random ones changing out. The icing isn’t too heavy, and I am able to stomach more than 1. I wish it was just a little more spacious. It gets crowded with 3 or more people.

I liked my cupcakes from here. They were fresh and moist and the flavors were great. When I went they had a great selection and the young lady that waited on me was very courteous. I will say this — in a cupcake war, this place has it all over the dry stale Sprinkle’s cupcakes.
I don’t understand how people who are disappointed in a place keep going back — there is obviously something that draws you there.

I love these cupcakes. The strawberry shortcake is amazing! I have also tried the red velvet. There’s just something about the frosting. Cupcakes are a little over $ 3 with tax. I guess that’s the going rate, but it’s worth it.

Wow! Amazing cupcakes! I like to think of myself as a buttercream icing connisour. The chocolate cupcake with buttercream icing, absolutely delicious. The buttercream is soooo smooth and creamy. Perfection! The strawberry was good, but the cake seemed a bit heavy.

I was impressed when we first moved out here to Texas in 2008 but the cake and service has gone downhill. For the price and the size of the cupcake, we could go elsewhere for better taste and service. The cupcakes were too sugary and dry that we couldn’t finish it. I hope the girls that work behind the counter will offer better customer service and welcome all their customers with a smile. I might try this location again since it’s so convenient by my work.

I’m sorry cupcakery but your cupcake reign has been usurped. Still my favorite red velvet that I’ve ever had but the other flavors can be a let-​down compared to the other champions of cupcakes.

I have been disappointed with this place several times, for several reasons. If it were just about the cupcakes, they would get a bit higher of rating. They are okay at best. The cake is usally a bit dry, but they do have really great thick icing. There are plenty of flavors to chose from, which is always important for a cake shop.
This place’s biggest downfall are the girls they have working there. EVERY TIME I have gone in, they have been rude. For instance, once I went in to buy cupcakes for someone’s birthday, I asked them to just write a number on the top with a little bit of icing. The girl rolled her eyes, and asked if I was aware she would have to charge extra. One, it’s just an icing number! NOT BLINKING LIGHTS WITH GLITTER AND SOUND! Two, is it really that much trouble? But whatever, I said that would be fine. She goes into the back and I can clearly hear her complaining to another girl about having to do the number. She comes back out and it’s completely sloppy and obviously done with no effort whatsoever… again, I just wanted an icing number on top: /​
I work near the shop, and several people have complained about the same things. When asked, I compliment the cakes but also warn about the attitude!

Tried the chocolate, red velvet, orange creamsicle. The red velvet tasted very buttermilk like which I did not care for, but the cream cheese frosting was pretty good though a little runny. The chocolate was an intense dark chocolate flavor, and my favorite, the orange creamsicle was absolutely delicious. The cake on the chocolate and red velvet were dry, while the frosting was not overly sweet but decent. The orange creamsicle cupcake was super moist and had a very unique flavor. Probably would not go back there again except for the orange cupcake or to try different flavors.

I love little neighborhood cupcake shops. This one has several locations here in Dallas, and even one in Vegas! The Cupcakery is a cute little shop with gorgeous looking treats. I think the edible glitter on some of the flavors is a nice touch– they are almost too pretty to eat.
Some of the flavors are hit or miss. Kir Royale is definitely my least favorite which was a surprise to me since my favorite favor on the planet is raspberry. I just didn’t care for the flavor of the champagne frosting. The frosting is overwhelming on cupcakes here (I usually scrape half of it off), so if you are a frosting lover you are likely to love the Cupcakery.
Some of my favorite flavors include the Coconut, Lemon and Red Velvet. I am a huge fan of cream cheese frosting, and it is delicious here. I have picked up a dozen quite a few times for my co-​workers for birthdays and showers and they always rave about them. It is a little bit pricey, but most of these type of places are. It just goes with the territory.

I give a thumbs up for the flavor combinations. The cake itself needs work. One of the cupcakes was dry… that’s just not cool. It’s worth a try? But if you want moist, flavorful, and spot on every time? Sprinkles. Sorry Cupcakery.

I agree with Lisa T. that the flavors one chooses makes a cupcake the best or the worst.
I wanted to try this place for a long time after a couple of visits to Trufire Kitchen restaurant nearby.
They had a good variety that day and I had a tough time choosing. Finally I settled for a Coco Frauline — nutty and not very sweet and my hubby had the Banana Cream Bomb — cream was sweet and the cake was soft. Both were good in their own way.
Will walk in once in a while and try some new ones for sure.

All of their cupcakes are dry and flavorless. They say it is piña colada and it just tastes like a vanilla cupcake with a little pineapple and coconut in the frosting. Not feeling them at all.

These cupcakes look impressive but I found the actual flavors to be hit and miss. My rundown of the 6 we tried in the order of best to worst:
Bugsy (Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting):
hands down the best of the batch. moist cake and the frosting was perfect cream cheese — not too sweet.
Coconut Bliss (coconut cake with vanilla frosting sprinkled with coconut flakes)
most coconut cakes are too sweet for me, but this was good, you got the taste of the coconut in the cake and the frosting, but it wasn’t overwhelming.
Boston Dream (yellow cake, bavarian filling, chocolate ganache)
cake was moist, filling tasted like custard and the chocolate ganache was a good texture. Liked this one a lot.
Chocolate Peanut Butter (chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting)
I hated the cake on this one — it was really dry. But the frosting was absolutely fabulous. Still, it’s a cupcake, not a frosting holder.
Kir Royale (raspberry cake with champagne frosting) —
Got the opposite experience here — the cake was fabulous, but the champagne frosting was overwhelmed by the champagne taste. And I love champagne, but this frosting was just gross.
Southern Belle (red velvet, cream cheese icing)
Such a disappointment, it wasn’t rich red, it was clearly yellow cake with red food coloring, which made it taste like crap. The frosting was the same cream cheese from the carrot cake, which I liked, but come on now.
So despite my mixed reviews of the individual cupcakes, I will still come back — there are a few flavors I still want to try. But they aren’t going to win any glowing recommendations like I give to Sprinkles and Society Bakery.

I’m on a new hunt. A cupcake hunt. Ever since I read about the Cupcakery I’ve been looking for an excuse to make the trip to Frisco. As luck would have it, my guy needed to exchange a shirt and the only other Macy’s that had it in his size was at Stonebriar. Plus, we just got a place and wanted to check out the IKEA since it had been awhile since we’ve been there (now I remember why, so exhausting!) So, we grabbed Angela G. and made a day of it. She and I have been known to make after-​work runs to Sprinkles… at first I really loved it, but honestly, I do find it a bit overrated and just too darn sweet and heavy.
The Cupcakery was a very refreshing change.
For one, the cupcakes aren’t disgustingly huge. Sometimes you want a cupcake that doesn’t set you back like 550 calories, just a little sweet treat. They’re just the right size, especially if you want to get a couple to try or share. We had come here before dinner with the intention of eating them for dessert, but we couldn’t resist trying just ONE first. The Coffee and Bailey’s with the vanilla latte cake and Bailey’s frosting was so moist and delicious. I have to say, I didn’t really taste much Baileys but just in general the thing was super good, and made it REALLY hard for us to save the rest: piña colada, southern belle (red velvet), orange julius, annnnnd… the kir royale (Katie C. and Kristen G!!!).
After dinner, we rushed back in the car for a cupcake sharing frenzy of sorts. The first one I bit into was the piña colada. I squealed. It was so damn good. I wasn’t expecting the textural surprise of the coconut in the cake and the pineapple pieces in the pineapple cream cheese frosting. It was SO moist, and the icing SO creamy and delicious. The nuts sprinkled on top addded a bit of crunch that made me wonder why more cupcakes aren’t garnished with nuts (this from the girl who used to hate them).
Yes, the cream cheese frosted cupcakes were kept in a refrigerated case but it wasn’t as cold as a regular refrigerator and I see why they do it – we left our cupcakes in the car while we ate, and the icing was pretty soft by the time we got to them. So I don’t fault them at all for that.
I begrudgingly gave it up after a few bites for the first cupcake swap. Next I got the Southern Belle, their version of red velvet. This one wasn’t as good as the piña colada because it was just not as… velvety as it could have been. It was a tad bit dry too, but only a little. The raspberry cake in the kir royale was sooo tangy and moist and fruity and delicious! The champagne frosting was good, but a little too sweet for me. It was a very light and fluffy frosting, not hard and dense like most of Sprinkles offerings, so I did love that about it. I got a taste of the orange julius as well and again, on the non-​cream cheese frosted cupcakes, I liked the cake better than the frosting. But if you like orange dreamsicles then you will love this cupcake. I really loved the intense orange flavor in the cake.
The best part of all of this is that the lady manning (womanning?) the shop told us that in a month or so, they’ll be opening up another location in downtown Dallas!
Overall, the piña colada cupcake was possibly the best cupcake I’ve ever had. However, I’m curious what else is out there. Also, I wish their SUPER cute aprons were a little more affordable!

The place is every cupcake connoisseur’s dream. Exotic flavors. Decadent frosting. Orange frosting that tastes like a Flintstones popsicle. Okay, maybe that’s just my dream anyway.
Problem is there’s so many to choose from. I’d start with the Kir-​Royale a raspberry cupcake with a champagne butter crème frosting. Whoever thought of pouring champagne into butter and sugar then whippin it up is a genius. Their carrot cupcake is out of this world. Perfect balance of spices, coconut, and walnuts and a fluffy cream cheese toppin. Not too sweet. The Red Velvet and Kir-​Royale are worth the trip. The people who work here really take the time to explain what’s in all the cupcakes. I also tasted the Piña Colada which I didn’t care for ’cause it had the mixer taste. Lemon was pretty good, but missing that extra zing for lack of lemon juice or zest. Strawberry shortcake, one of their best sellers was good but too sweet. Presentation is amazing. Cupcakery’s edible glitter makes traditional sprinkles a thing of the past.

The Boston Dream is my all time favorite!!! I am so excited that they opened a location in Frisco, it’s much closer to home. =)
My husband first bought these for me from the first Vegas location the week of our wedding. He bought a dozen assorted, and we munched on them the entire time we were there. I don’t care what they say, they’re still good 3 or 4 days later. OH, you can buy ‘day old’ cupcakes at the shop for half price — they still taste the same and they’re cheaper, but these cupcakes are so good i’d pay full price any day!

Ok, I had to trek out to the Cupcakery again for some holiday goodies. I tried some additional flavors:
Coconut Bliss is my new favorite. It is perfect for those who are not big on sweets. The coconut cuts a lot of the sweetness from the chocolate icing.
Southern Belle is their signature cupcake and it is stellar with cream cheese frosting atop the most moist red velvet cake I’ve ever tasted.
Peppermint Bliss (seasonal) is a minty alternative to the typical plain choco and has a nice clean finish.
Oh My Gosh Ganache is a typical vanilla cake/​choco icing blend with a strange truffle inside.
I also discovered that they sell a half dozen random assortment of day-​old cupcakes for half the price. Nice!

Yum! This has won the top spot on my expensive commercial cupcake list! I read Annie’s review Friday and my cupcake addiction kicked in immediately. I knew I would be at the Cupcakery before the weekend was over.
Saturday late morning I made my way to the shop (cute little place!) and took about 10 minutes deciding which cupcakes I couldn’t resist. I ended up with the following:
Boston Dream — Very tasty — like a Boston Cream pie cupcake :)
Kir Royale — OMG — this was my favorite! Delicious!
Southern Belle — Red Velvet — normally I don’t like red velvet but this was yummy!
Oh my Ganache — Sadly this was my least favorite. I think it could have been delicious, but it wasn’t as fresh and moist as the rest of my choices
Strawberry Shortcake — This was also tasty, but I didn’t get any vanilla cake — it was allllllllll strawberry. Tasty, but not what I expected.
Lemon Berry — Pretty good if you are looking for lemony cake :)
Pricey, but worth it — unlike some of the other «cupcake shops».
I’ll definitely be back!
