St. Louis Cupcake

Stumbled upon this shop on accident. The cupcakes on display looked cute and appetizing, so I purchased two to sample: chocolate and vanilla. The cake on both cupcakes was on the dry side and lacked flavor. The buttercream icing’s consistancy was fine, but it was way too sweet, making it hard to finish.

It’s cute and small little shop. The owner wsa VERY NICE. We ended up getting 2 of each of the cupcakes… they were small, one bite small. We liked the PB&J one the best. I was disappointed that there weren’t full size cupcakes.

I went here today & was pretty disappointed with what I got. They sell «mini» cupcakes now instead of full sized, and I say «mini» because what they served me was a small sample of a mini cupcake at best. The «cake» portion was about the size of a quarter & had an odd texture. (Honestly, how could you get a solid texture with a quarter-​sized «cupcake» though). The icing was really great though, so I gave it two stars. Also, it was way overpriced. $ 3 for 3 quarter sized chunks of cake? No thanks.

If it was about cupcakes baked by an overworked mom at midnight after finding the flyer for the next day school bake sale stuffed in her kids backpack, ok, but for a professional $ 3 small cupcake, save your money. I stopped in for the first time today and tried a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting and caramel center. The cake was dry and overcooked, butter was the overwhelming taste of the «chocolate» frosting and the caramel center was a dot about the size of a red hot. A professional food critic once shared with me that baking a cupcake that is not overcooked is a rare talent and with this cupcake experience I would have to agree. Maybe I got one from a less than batch? I will save my cupcake cravings for Sweet Art or making home made.

My new favorite bakery. I stopped by a afternoon to check this place out. It is a very nice local place and the workers were very nice and happy to display todays flavors. There were common flavors like vannila and lemon drop. But therere were also creative flavors like peretzel with choalate, and hot fudge sunday :-). The flavors were very very yummy. My fam and i loved them so much they scarfed down them in less than a min she also makes them all by hand there crazy good.

They are SUPER friendly here. I felt like they were part of my family with how they treated my family.
The cupcakes are good, but not amazing. We ordered a few of them and they all seemed like they may have been baked the day before in that they were kind of dry. The chocolate cake really didn’t taste like chocolate.
I probably won’t come back because I think there are better places for a cupcake in Saint Louis, but they are really nice people here.

St. Louis Cupcake was good, but just average in the world of gourmet cupcakes available in St. Louis.
The butter cream frosting was a bit too rich for me. Like I could barely finish the cupcake rich. Based on the first few bites though, the pretzel cupcake was very good. The cupcakes are on the smaller side and are $ 3 each. $ 15 for ½ a dozen. Not a great value based on price and quality. Minor selection and apparently they sell out quick.
Owner who was working that day was very sweet and makes all her cupcakes every morning right there in the small shop. She will wrap them up in a cute box for you if you’re giving them as a gift.
Cute little place and worth stopping in for a treat or «sweet» gift, pun intended ;) if you’re nearby.

Some of the friendliest people ever! Very cute little shop.
We bought 3 cupcakes. 2 of the three were hits — 1 was a miss — of course, mine was the miss. The boys raved about their cupcakes — I was green with envy.
I am all about second chances, so until next time St. Louis Cupcake!

My husband was doing some computer work for St. Louis Cupcake and decided to grab one for me. To avoid going out on a trek to find flan at 11pm to satisfy my out of control pregnancy cravings, he comes home and sets this cupcake in front of me. I raised an eyebrow at him like «really? A cupcake?» It takes a heck of a lot to impress me as far as cake is concerned, so he was really putting his life on the line for this one. Then he told me it had caramel on it. Strike 2 sir, do you really want to try for 3?
So me, being the kind of girl who wouldn’t dare give my kids the satisfaction of fighting over it, cut it in half and took a bite. Then another. Then I cried a little… it was by far, THE BEST cupcake I have ever had in my life. I don’t even know what kind it was, all I know is that the icing was rolled in pretzels. Yes, pretzels. Needless to say folks, even if he didn’t have to go back there tomorrow for work, I would have sent him back anyway! I just hope he gets there early enough to get me the same kind.

I really wanted to like St. Louis Cupcake, but I was under-​impressed with the yellow cupcake with vanilla buttercream I purchased. First, I was astounded by the price for a conventional treat. For $ 3 each, I was expecting a cupcake other than traditional flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet. Also, the yellow cake was rather dry and bland. The icing was much too sweet and gritty.
The women were pleasant and helpful. I hope the product improves as the shop itself is cute.

As big fans of cupcakes, we are excited to have a cupcake shop in Webster Groves. Upon entering the store we were greeted by an enthusiastic employee who went out of her way to explain all the different cupcakes to us. As others have mentioned, the cupcakes are a little smaller and $ 3 a piece. We purchased a container of 6 for $ 15 so that we could sample a variety of flavors. All of the cupcakes were moist and flavorful, with the Lemon Drop probably being our favorite. I would agree that the filled cupcakes were pretty much lacking a filling. I cut one in half to take a photograph for the review, and you couldn’t even see the filling in it. Having said that, I would definitely go back to St. Louis Cupcake.

I saw some things about it online and took the family to the grand opening. In a word, RIPOFF. The cupcakes are $ 3.00 a piece for a 2.0 oz, 1.5″ bottom diameter cupcake. The taste is ordinary although they are pretty, but not anything special. Any cupcake listed as filled, means a drop inside, not a filling. My daughter thought she had the wrong cupcake when she could not find any filling. We cut the rest in half to find the drops on the inside.
For the money, in the ‘hood, Serendipity beats them six ways to Sunday. For cupcakes, everyone but Sam’s does.
Color me one and done.

I was excited when I found out that a cupcake bakery was opening up in Webster!
They have a conventional selection of cupcakes and some novel ones: classic vanilla, chocolate velvet, vanilla fudge, carrot, key lime, lemon drop, royal raspberry, toffee, latte, hot fudge, cookies n’ cream, black n’ white, pumpkin, s’mores, vanilla caramel, and red velvet.
I’m not a fan of stuffed cupcakes, but if you are, STL Cupcake has the hookup. As mentioned by other reviewers, these cupcakes are more petite than the average size. And for three dollars a pop, I find that steep. Even if they bake ‘em fresh everyday and use «fine ingredients» (from their website, I don’t know what constitutes for fine), I still think the price is a little high.
The icing on these babies are as tall as the cupcakes themselves! I got nothin’ against that :) The red velvet has one dollop of cream cheese and one dollop of buttercream frosting. YUM! The cream cheese frosting was a little too sour for my liking but still good none the less.
If you’re in the neighborhood and wanna sooth a sweet tooth, check out STL Cupcake.

I was craving something sweet on a Sunday afternoon, and I remembered that St. Louis Cupcake had recently opened. It’s in Webster Groves, which is super close to Maplewood, so I decided to stop by.
The place itself is cute and small; it’s located in a little shopping strip.
I walked in and was immediately greeted by the friendly shop owners. They were really excited to explain each flavor of cupcake they had to offer.
The cupcakes that were available were pretty simple: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, chocolate velvet, hot fudge, raspberry.
I went with a red velvet cupcake and a chocolate velvet cupcake. They were both pretty small, which was fine (I HATE the gigantic cupcakes at Jilly’s — they’re just obscene). I thought they were a little expensive at 3 bucks each, but whatever.
The cupcakes themselves were good. The frosting-​to-​cake ratio was darn near perfect. The frosting was super tasty on both the red velvet and chocolate velvet cupcakes. The cake was moist.
So why only 3 stars? I feel like while STL Cupcake definitely has some solid offerings, the cupcakes just aren’t creative enough. Chocolate? Vanilla? Red Velvet? They were good cupcakes, but EVERYONE has those.
If I’m going to spend $ 3 on a cupcake, it should be better than something I could whip up from a box at home. Give me something creative and innovative (like The Cup’s Maple Bacon cupcake)!
I hope this place does well, but they’re going to have to think outside the box a bit if they want to compete with the other cupcake shops in the St. Louis area.

Yum! When I saw this place was open, my sister and I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to check it out. We walked in and were the only ones, though there were several people working — I’m assuming all the family members. I love supporting local, family owned businesses, and this place will definitely have my business!
They had probably around 8 types of cupcakes available. They are nice looking and smaller than any of the other cupcakes I’ve had, but not by much. It makes them better, in my opinion. The thought of eating a huge one like they sell at Jilly’s is daunting. The cupcakes have a lot of frosting, but not too much. It’s kind of dense, not too messy, which I liked.
I got 3 to share: S’More (chocolate with vanilla buttercream, graham crackers sprinkled on top and a Hershey bite), Toffee (vanilla with vanilla and toffee sprinkles on top), and Red Velvet. Red Velvet is the standard that I always get to compare to other shops. I LOVED it, and the toffee one. The cake was dense and soft at the same time, not dry, and the frosting was really yummy. It was much easier to eat than other cupcakes.
The shop is new and right now just offers cupcakes, mini cupcakes and some bottled drinks. I’m sure they will adjust to fit the needs of the community. I’d love to see hot drinks offered. I’d go here over Starbucks any day, especially if they served a good local coffee, like Goshen.
Webster University students will definitely like going here, which is within walking distance!
I’ll definitely be back!

Hooray for St. Louis Cupcake! I went on opening day to support the local business. They had about 6 different flavors of cupcakes available at the end of the day. I bought a few chocolate ones with vanilla icing and sprinkles. The cupcakes are smaller — these are not the super large cakes you’ll get at some other shops, but good things can come in small boxes! The cake was moist and flavorful and the icing was so good! The cakes are about $ 3/​each. They have some seating but not much — the shop itself is pretty small but clean and bright. Everyone was very nice and helpful. I am so happy to have them in the neighborhood!
