Icing On The Cupcake

If you want a vey dense, greasy cupcake, try this place. I personally think cupcakes should be light and fluffy. These made me want to brush my teeth and take a shower after having half of one…

I had a very positive experience at the downtown location. I felt the customer service was personal and engaging. The two young ladies, Taylor and Kensey aka Liz, were more than helpful. They talked me through all the options of making a personal cupcake, and even gave me some great ideas for my friends birthday to go along with the cakes. With all the attention they gave me they never once neglected other customers. The pick up of my order later that week was quick and the cupcakes were delicious, highlight of the party. Will go back multiple times, not only for the wonderful cupcakes, but the delightful conversation with my new friends Taylor and Kensey. 10 out of 10

The frosting was way to think. It didn’t while off if it latterly kept its shape and fell off. I wish It was more light and fluffy then I would go back.

Their cupcakes are even more amazing than ever. They used to be located on Alhambra and closed for a while, then reopened. I love love love their cupcakes and the blonde brownies and they seem pretty nice every time I come. I just wish they would do the pecan mini pies. :)

Good frosting but the actual cake part was just alright … The lemon cupcake was so yummy.

Best cupcakes EVER! Nobody else compares. Fresh, flavorful and big. Their numerous flavors makes it hard to choose just one.

We ordered 100 cupcakes for our wedding.
They delivered them to our venue.
It was a hit! So delicious and custom ordered to match our theme.
Too bad our leftovers were forgotten in our friends trunk and ruined! I was looking forward to over-​indulging on those. Lol!

The good: I was sooooo excited to get my very own cupcake for dessert. I had a hard time choosing the flavor and the girl at the counter was very helpful explaining the differences and suggesting the limited run cupcakes. The store was clean and cute. I liked the pictures of the cupcakes ‘coming soon’, they looked amazing! Check out was a breeze and I found out they sell their icing in tubs if you just want that.
Good thing, because here comes the bad :(
The cupcakes were such a disappointment.
I’m talking about the cake part itself. The icing was really fabulous, but all
Of the cupcakes tasted like they were made with cornmeal. Very strange to have a corn flavored cupcake.
We tried the vanilla, butterfinger, Boston cream pie and the limited Mother’s Day rose.
Again, the frostings were really good. So good that we will probably make our own cupcakes next time and just get a tub of their frosting to go.
I so wanted to fall in love with this little shop… but the (5) stars didn’t align for me :(
Just 3 stars for the cute shop, the helpful clerk and the yummy frosting.

Great smiles greet you when you come in. The cupcakes are Devine. We ordered the Mint green cupcakes and they were delish. Will come back to try the others

their vanilla cupcake and the seasonal caramel corn are the best ever… but the store manager is a bitc&%@@@@!!! i have had several run ins with her… but mind you, when she is not there, the experience is wonderful… the location is in downtown sac and we usually get a measly 10% discount, but when she’s there, she doesn’t offer state employee discounts… okay stop lying lady!!! are you serious… every place downtown damn there gives state discounts to state employees and i just received one in her store a few weeks ago… i tell you some people need to get a life and stop taking their fucked off frustrations out on the customers…

This place is absolutely wonderful. Picked them up in passing by and was amazed at the cupcakes. Picked up the red velvet, snickerdoodle amongst others my family loved them. Highly recommend

Picked up my nephew from School and he asked me if we could go get cupcakes, he gave me directions to the place but they were gone. He was bummed but i found where they moved to on J Street via Unilocal app. Oh heyyyy
My nephew was so stoked, he got a vanilla and a red velvet, I got the lemon cupcake and got some other random cupcakes for my bro and his wife. Snickerdoodle, Strawberry, some berry tiny pies. I got to say my lemon cupcake was really good, it even had lemon pudding in the middle and I don’t really have a sweet tooth. The little berry pies were very yummy too.
Their staff is super nice and dealt with all the questions my nephew had for them.
Protip: If you go towards the end of the day there are slim pickens and sometimes the cupcakes are all out and left with the brownies and tiny mini pies.

Still delicious (use to grab them when they were further up on j st.) after all this time. I consumed the cranberry orange bloom cupcake this time.

First time ever to any cupcake store. Had the vanilla, which was the BEST cupcake I’ve ever had in my life! No, I’m not exaggerating. It was actually better than I knew a cupcake could taste! Will be back again and again, and of course the diet will continue to start tomorrow.
Sorry for deducting a star for the lack of comfort and vibe. It’s February and it was very hot inside, and without any seating. They’ve only been open a month so I’m pretty sure they are still working on it. Hopefully there’s a plan for the AC, because summer’s right around the corner.

The icing is worth a cheat day! I was pretty happy to hear that the establishment is back in business. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there were still a good amount of cupcake selections to choose from. The place itself is pretty bare still, it would be great if there were some seating inside to enjoy a cupcake or two… Anyway, there’s a cupcake flavor schedule so you know when your favorite flavors will be in stock. I ate the snicker doodle: tastes just like the cookie, and the chocolate chip: they definitely do not skimp out on the chips! Both cupcakes were dense and had a generous amount of icing, not to mention, they all looked so cute! I will definitely be coming back to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings.

So happy to see this cupcakery back in business in Midtown! I used to frequent the Alhambra location a couple years back for their yummy mini square lemon bars. Just happened to be strolling by and saw the new location open for business, so stopped in for a few mini cupcakes and good conversation. I’ll be back to place catering orders for work birthdays, and to the owners: Dijon and Corrina are awesome and made my happy fat soon to be diabetic ass feel very welcome!
Bring back those mini lemon bars, yo!

Omg j street needed this! It’s so good! And the service is great! I was just walking to work and I smelt something delicious and I had to get something! I ended up getting 2 cupcakes and a cookie! The cookie sandwich was delicious! The girl in the front recommended to me the bee/​honey cupcake and wow it was very sweet but really good! I’ve never had a honey cupcake before. This ones my first! And I also got the snicker doodle and I loved it! The cream cheese frosting is just perfect! I will definitely be back :)

Delicious red velvet and carrot cake cupcakes. Disappointed in lack of gluten free selections. Website advertises gluten free options and my wife was let down to find only one nasty looking gluten free cupcake.

This place is closed. Literally sitting across the street and its closed. Either update info if the address changed or take this down please.

I LOVE Icing On The Cupcake! Their cupcake flavors are so unique, and I absolutely love their frosting! My favorite cupcake is the Pineapple Rightside Up. My only complaint is that I really don’t care for their gluten free cupcakes. And to make matters worse, my beloved pineapple cupcake has now been changed to a gluten-​free version :(I’d be OK with a completely flourless gluten-​free cupcake (SusieCakes in Sacramento has a great chocolate one!), but the flour alternative IOTC uses just doesn’t taste good :/​Most of their cupcakes are amazing, and the employees are always very friendly.
