The Cupcake Company

This is probably one of my most favorite places to get cupcakes from. I’m visiting JMU this weekend, and i was surprised to see this new location open up. I’ve been to the original one, but I was excited to see a new location open where they are more exposed to the public. This place deserves more publicity.
Honestly this may be high praise for some people, but I truly believe the cupcakes made by this business are on par with Georgetown Cupcakes in DC. Since graduating from JMU, I have moved to the northern Virginia, DC area, and I have been to Georgetown Cupcakes multiple times. I feel that the cupcakes here are as good if not better, so The Cupcake Company is truly a HIDDEN GEM.
What makes this a great spot is that they always have a different selection everyday of the week! You definitely will not be caught in the moment where you have tried everything unless are here literally here everyday. My favorite by far is the cookies and cream cupcake which they sell everyday. This cupcake is legit crack! Words cannot explain how good this cupcake is. It utilizes Oreo crumbs so if you like oreos, this is your cupcake. I know that at the older location the cookies and cream was their most popular cupcake, but I am not sure what it is at this location. My specialty favorite where you have to wait till they make it available is the Hummingbird. My god is this cupcake good!!!
I am making it a goal to stop by every time I visit JMU, that way I can try as many of their cupcakes as possible. You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it!!!
No Hummingbird today to I had to settle for Cookies and Cream, which is just as good!
