Batterz Up

i’m gonna have to agree with everyone else in that this place DEFINITELY looks shady and weird as it’s in a tiny isolated strip along hwy54. you’ll miss it if you’re not careful.
but the cupcakes are pretty good. my coworker brings some in every so often, and i haven’t had one that i didn’t like. Not as good as goodybox though. these are pretty standard flavors and didn’t blow me away. but still satisfactory when you have a sweet tooth.

Its in a really weird location but my husband thought, «don’t judge a book by its cover.» We went in and ordered two cupcakes. The cupcakes are better than GiGis cupcakes but not as good as Sugarland or Cupcake Shoppe. It didn’t taste like he batter was made from scratch; it tasted like it was out of a box. If we are going to buy cupcakes I expect them to taste like something that I couldn’t make at home.

Batterz Up made my son’s first birthday cake! It looked awesome! They made his cake with less than a week’s notice and made it exactly as I asked. It looked great and all the kids loved it.

Wow. Best cupcake I have ever had. I got the peanut butter surprise and it was so much better than Gigi’s or any of the franchises. The frosting was magnificent and the cupcake was just the right amount of moist. Great service and so many flavors. I’m definitely using Batterz Up for my sister’s birthday party coming up!

I would give it a 2.5. After posting the comparison shot of cupcakes– Batterz Up vs GoodyBox Cupcake, here’s my review of Batterz Up cupcakes:
Icing– Batterz Up– granular texture, too sugary for me, reminds me similar to the supermarket stuff.
Chocolate Mix– the top poofed over the paper rim, thus causing the top to be heavy and detached from the bottom. The batter was moist, but not as moist as GoodyBox Cupcakes.
Filling– I had the turtle cupcake which had a carmel filling. I think I just prefer a ganache filling. Period. The day I went that was not available, not sure if this is on other days???
Service– just fine and friendly.
Location– has a cute seating area to the side, looks comfy. A little hard to turn into the parking lot as you approach the rush hour on chapel hill road coming from Cary.
Box Presentation– I found it a little harder to get the cupcake actually out of the box. After I compared both boxes side by side, I think the higher sides insert from Batterz Up makes it a little harder to actually grab the cupcake out of the top of the box. Perhaps that is just me, but that was my experience. I liked the neon pink boxes, very eye catching. I would suggest they perhaps put a label or something so that folks will remember the bakery’s name easier.
Price– Batterz Up– cheaper by about 1.00.
Summary– both are good, but in my opinion, I just like the quality a little bit better at GoodyBox Cupcake.

I noticed Batterz Up for the first time last week, but it was after they had closed for the day. Made a return trip to try them out and was very pleased. A nice mix of flavors without wasting space on ones no one really wants to eat. Solid cake, very good frosting. Would return regularly if they were a little closer to home. Only $ 2.50 for a cupcake too, which is cheaper than the Chapel Hill places with which I’m familiar (Sugarland, Gigi’s), and the product was better.

Wanted to find a new bakery or support a local bakery so my wife and I tried Batterz. The cupcakes certainly have eye appeal but taste like Betty Crocker. You can tell they are box mixes used but think the frosting is the only thing they make. The cupcakes were moist and the frosting has a different after taste, maybe to much vanilla in the mix?
Certainly wouldn’t recommend unless you truly can’t make your own cupcakes. Should have known when we sampled the brownie they had out and I make the same thing out of a box to. If your looking to try something different give them a chance but GiGi’s is much better.
Also not sure when others went we did after 11 am and there wasn’t all the extras of cinnamon rolls or monkey bread. The only option was peanut butter balls which we didn’t try and sugar cookie shaped as a heart which we did buy which was good but had a heavy after taste I am thinking was vanilla flavoring again.
Try at your own risk or save money and buy Betty Crocker mix at your local grocery store.

Stopped in here after going to the locksmith next door. I cannot remember exactly what flavor cupcake I ordered but it had banana frosting with a chocolate drizzle and banana chip on top. I thought the cupcake was very yummy and the perfect size. I liked that they had variety in the cupcake flavors and did not stick to just the classics.

I really wish this review was for the cupcakes or some food I had tasted there but it’s not. I checked the website and saw they closed at 8, so I drove on over there. When I pulled in, the writing on the glass confirmed they close at 8, it was 530 on Saturday. The open sign was still switched to open but the open light was off, no biggie there’s someone inside. The person inside proceeds to turn off a light and then walk to the door and lock it before walking to the back and turning off another light. Mind you, I’m right in front where he can see me and I can see him. I feel like he did that because he saw I had pulled into the parking lot. Rather than just coming to the door and saying sorry we closed early, he made sure he locked it and walked away. I can’t see myself doing business at a place like that. I was right outside, it’s not like I showed up after all the lights were out and the door was locked. All of this was done after I pulled in the parking lot. Either way, I won’t be back instead I drove top GoodyBox.

This nice cupcake place. They are close to the RTP. The Mocha cupcake is good. I try to support family owned business.

What a delightful place! What I love is that they don’t overdo it on the portion sizes, like other places I’ve been. It’s something you can actually eat all of without feeling dreadful afterward. And they haven’t fallen into the trap of the mile-​high and concrete-​dense frosting. I don’t know about you but I don’t want ²⁄₃ of my cupcake to be sugar and butter whipped into mortar. There was a great selection of creative choices. I adored my choice of the Black Forest, a lovely combo of chocolate and cherries. And the frosting was light and fluffy. The atmosphere inside is almost as nice as the cupcakes. It felt very cozy, clean and comfortable. Your nose knows you’ve come somewhere good the moment you walk in!

Delicious cupcakes and friendly staff. Cupcakes are huge but normal sized. Perfect for a snack.

This morning on the way to the office, I decided to stop in because I was craving sweet sugary carbs. I did not realize they opened at 10am, but the door was unlocked and a person from the kitchen appeared with a friendly smile. First thing I noticed were the cupcakes to the right, but being that it was early, I wanted a pastry instead. I could smell cinnamon and sugar in the air, the cashier said that she had just baked fresh monkey bread. I decided on a cherry turmover and blueberry muffin. The cherry turnover was flaky and delicious. I didn’t care too much for the muffin, because I prefer them crusty on top. I had a sample of the vanilla cupcake and it seemed moist and fluffy. I’ll have to grab a red velvet and a maple bacon cupcake on my next visit. If you’re ever driving on 54 on the way home from work, stop in and give them a try. I’m all about supporting local businesses.

So as we were driving back from grabbing lunch down the street, we saw the cupcake sign from the road and decided to pull in real quick to check it out. The space is very simple and very friendly.
Since peanut butter is basically my kryptonite, I got the peanut butter surprise? cupcake, and then spotted the cupcake of the day, maple bacon. I also picked up a cookie dough ball. Why? because it’s cookie dough and it’s delicious, duh. The fiancé got the red velvet and the turtle cupcake. All four were pretty good, by mine were my favorite, obviously ;)
I noticed they also had some enticing baked goods like cookies, monkey bread, cinnamon rolls, and whatnot. They also had a gluten free selection of goodies.
Would I come back here? most definitely. I would probably do a ½ dozen though to save some cash, and bring them to a gathering, or maybe just for me.

Drove by here on the way to lunch and made a point to stop on the return to work. I am in favor of supporting small local businesses. The owner has done a nice job of remodeling this space to open their «sweet» shop. I bought the peanut butter surprise and carrot cake cupcakes. My co-​workers bought some pecan fudge and red velvet. We all enjoyed our cupcakes very much. They have a variety of cupcakes (about 10 maybe) and as the other reviewer mentioned offer other items — varies by day & time of visit (doughnuts in the morning — ltd variety) The nice lady working was very pleasant and threw in some peanut butter balls rolled in chocolate & pb morsels as a bonus (they were so good!)
The size of the cupcakes are a bit smaller than other store offerings (& food trucks) but they are also only $ 2.25 ea or 6 for $ 12. Everything was great from our point of view and definitely worth a visit to satisfy your sweet tooth AND support a LOCAL business.

If I’m being totally honest, the 2-​star «meh, I’ve had better» rating would hold true here. However, I’m bumping them to three stars based on factors other than the taste of the cupcakes. Also in the case were scones and cookies. The full menu reveals artisanal breads and specialty fudge. I love the variety which most cupcake shops don’t offer (although, note, the shop doesn’t house everything every day. Special orders are required for some items.)
I wound up with 6 cupcakes, none of which really wow’ed me. The cake part is on the small side compared to some competitors, but they have pretty towering mounds of frosting. The frosting is stiff and a little gritty. The cake ranged from dry to moderately moist. Solid flavors were the chocolate turtle and red velvet. But the best of the bunch, by far, in my opinion was the Pina Colada — a yellow cake with white frosting, spiked with pineapple bits and smothered in coconut flakes. Aside from that flavor, they honestly sort of seemed similar to what I might make from a box; no fun cake fillings, not particularly smooth, creamy frosting. At $ 2 and change a pop, they are not a bad price. And the simple pink packaging is nice if you’re presenting them to someone.
Location is wonderfully visible from the road, but parking can be difficult to get out of, since you’re basically reversing directly into traffic. Give it a shot. And consider non-​cupcake options!
