Simply Cupcakes Bake Shoppe

Outstanding cupcakes! I’ve tried all the ‘upscale’ cupcake shops (Sprinkles, Casey’s, etc) and the red velvet is right up there with all of them! What a find in Modesto.

Mmmm! Gourmet cupcakes will run about $ 2.50 for one cupcake. But it’s worth it.
I have only tried they’re cupcakes not cakes or anything else.
If we are in need for something sweet this is the place! They bake their cupcakes daily and keep them refrigerated. I know people have gone bananas over a certain lady who makes cupcakes and sells them out of a pink food truck– but trust me, these are way better! Especially since they haven’t been sitting in the window of a hot truck!
I highly recommend getting the pink champagne cupcake. It is the most popular one, and sometimes goes fast. Overall their cupcakes are flavorful, moist and light and airy. They say «Keep Calm & Eat a Cupcake» right?!

This place is closed. On Facebook she said that she’s moving out of state. Sorry to see that these economic times have closed another business.

Went by today to get my fav cupcake. Crap… they are closed… as in packed up nobody there! So sad.

The cupcakes themselves are good but I feel like every time I go in the prices were raised AGAIN. I know we are all trying to make a living but its a little bit much now.

THIS BUSINESS HAS MOVED TO 1017 J St Modesto, CA 95 354. The new business name is CUPCAKES! BAKERY AND COMPANY

I love cupcakes!!!
Living in the Central Valley our options for good cupcakes are very limited. Until now. I first discovered Simply Cupcakes on the Internet. So I was in the area and stop by because cupcakes are the perfect dessert.
The counter service was great and courteous. I had to try the red velvet cupcakes and the cake was very moist with a homemade butter cream icing. The vanilla icing on the red velvet was good as well. They do run out of the red velvet so get there early or place an order.
I will return if I am in the area.

So I have always been one to watch those tv shows about the greatest bakeries and amazing delicious desserts; however how many of those can be found in Modesto?
Well, today I think I had the most amazing Lemon cupcake ever. My mother brought me home one and it was absolutely delicious. The cake was moist and crumbly and the lemon frosting had just enough lemon flavor to give it the extra mile… and to top it off? A pinch of lemon zest to make it even better.
I cannot wait to go into the bakery myself to experience the great customer services my mother told me about when she was there. And whats more perfect than going to a great dinner downtown and walking down the way to get a delicious cupcake to share with my husband?
Definitely telling all of my friends to come. Thank you for finally opening up a bakery in Modesto worth mentioning! :)

Visited their new shop on J Street betw 10^th and 11^th in downtown Modesto yesterday and sampled as I wanted to place an order. Overall fabulous! So far my favorite is the Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream — that was absolutely perfect: the buttercream tasted like the real thing and just the right amount of sweetness. The cake had the ideal crumb-​moistness thing going on. It was a winner!
I also tried the carrot cupcake with cream cheese frosting: the frosting is yummy with nice tart-​sweet balance, but the carrot cake itself seemed more like a muffin in texture, though the flavor was good, though I could see where others might like it.
Now today (brought some home) the Lemon-​Lemon: the frosting is good, but the cake needs more lemon flavor in my opinion, but I do really like lemon and would have liked the cake to be a bit more moist, but lovely crumb.
I have an order for 2 dozen to pick up this weekend to share with a group of friends and I’m looking forward to having more.
BTW the lady who waited on me was very gracious.
Lastly, I’ve often had «Crumbs» cupcakes from NYC and LA and I’ve had «Kate’s Cupcakes» from San Jose, and these were on par with renown «Kate’s». They’re not the same style as «Crumbs» (not filled), so not a fair comparison there, but they do not have the universal intense flavor that Crumbs attains.

Okay… I ordered 24 little cupcakes for $ 30 dollars for my 2 year olds birthday party. When they called to tell us they were ready they said that we still had an unpaid balance. Turns out that the order was written down wrong and they made 24 large cupcakes which are twice the price. Heres the deal, mistakes happen, i would have been fine just taking the larger cupcakes even though thats not what we wanted.
However, thats not what happened. I was told that i could either pay the difference for the larger cupcakes or get my $ 30 dollars back and leave with no cupcakes. It was the day of the party and i was not going to go home to my wife without cupcakes (that story would of turned out worse than this one).
So basically i got told «sorry we made the wrong cupcakes and you owe us money for our mistake.»
Thats like ordering a small pepperoni pizza and getting a large combination and then being asked for the difference in price… Really?
The cupcakes tasted great, but i will not be back.

FINALLY an amazing cupcakery in the central valley. I was so sick of driving to the bay area to satisfy my cravings.
This place is truly amazing. I got the red velvet and ate it while driving… mistake. I devoured that thing because it was so delicious. I ended up with frosting on my nose and crumbs all in my lap. And I didn’t even care. I wish I had bought 2.
FYI I think the frosting is amazing, light, soft and perfectly sweetened without being too much. The cupcake was a good size, $ 2.75, and the cake was so soft. Like I said, I inhaled it.
I will be back. Probably every week. Winning!

C cupcake is the boom people are very freindly and all the flovors taste really f good!

Love, Love, Love this place! Owners are kind, friendly & hard working people!
They make cakes and cupcakes and have now expanded to cookies and bars!
I use them for holidays, parties whatever I can find an excuse for because everything they make is soooooooo delicious!
Very evident they use high quality products and make it all fresh.
You will never want to eat a cupcake from the grocery store again after trying these!

Professional and superb service.
I ordered a beautiful 3 tiered cake for my daughter’s first birthday and 40 additonal cupcakes.
After the party was over I only had 1 cupcake left (which I managed to hide from others). I got so many compliments from the beautiful cake and the delicious and moist cupcakes.
The cake and cupcakes were fresh. Definately not made the night before nor days before.
The quality in their ingrediants is evident.
I will ONLY use them for my cake needs from now on!
Photos to follow.
Thank you Simply Cupcakes Bake Shoppe for being in Modesto!

I consider myself a cupcake-​aholic and these cupcakes are BOMB-​DIGGITY!!! Love them… one bite especially any flavor with the cream cheese frosting puts your salivary gland on overload! I have only tried the chocolate and carrot cake both with cream cheese and they were delish! If I hated myself, I’d consider eating a full dozen all by myself, but I know I’d hate myself in the morning! Anyhow, going back next week to indulge in the red velvet and what ever else strikes my fancy! For what it’s worth, they are pretty as they taste and Sprinkles ‘aint got nothing over these guys!

Outstanding cakes — so delicious. A bit of a drive but well worth it as the selection and quality are top notch. The owners are so nice also.

i was lured in by the sign on mchenry that said CUPCAKES, i’m not going to lie. you walk in and its just one room with a table and several cupcakes to choose from. straight to the point– BAM! CUPCAKES. and delicious ones, at that. i was greeted by a very kind gentleman who promptly boxed my cupcake o’ choice (red velvet) and sent me on my way. i’ll most definitely be back.

really good, decent price at 2.50 per cupcake. I have just been spoiled by babycakes in San Diego so I couldn’t give 5 stars because I have experienced a little bit better. I’ll be back though, San Diego is far away…

Cupcakes are the perfect dessert. You get all of the deliciousness of cake in an adorable and petite package. Plus, you don’t feel as guilty when you enjoy one little cupcake as opposed to a ginormous piece of cake.
Living in the Central Valley, our options for cupcake purchases are severely limited. Until now. I first discovered Simply Cupcakes on the Internet. After wiping the drool off of my keyboard I focused on procuring one of these delectable looking treats for my very own.
The shoppe (love the olde English spelling) is located off of Bangs Avenue in Modesto, close to McHenry. If you know where Edwards Cake & Candy Supply and The Lunch Pail are located, you can easily find Simply Cupcakes. It is in the row of buildings right behind the above mentioned businesses.
The interior of the shoppe is very tiny. I was greeted by a pleasant and soft-​spoken gentleman. The shoppe features multiple everyday flavors, but it is first come first serve. I found that out the hard way the first time I tried to purchase a cupcake. My suggestion is to arrive early to ascertain you get that cupcake of choice. Today I was fortunate enough to pick up two Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.
The verdict? OMG!!! I thought I’d died and gone to heaven after taking my first bite. Those cupcakes are some of the most moist and tasty cupcakes I have EVER had. Seriously. The cupcake itself was so flavorful and the frosting was definitely cream cheesy, but really light and fluffy too. Loved it.
My only wish is that Simply Cupcakes would expand their hours of operation. They are currently only open Wednesday-​Friday 11am to 5pm (or until sold out). Unfortunately my work schedule does not allow me the luxury of becoming a frequent customer, but I will definitely pop in whenever I have a day off to get my cupcake fix. ;)
