Too sweet and artificial for my liking. Two out of three cupcakes seamed a day or two old. Frosting was hard and sugary. Definitely will not be returning.

After eating our MOD pizza in the parking lot due to Sacramento being in purple tier, we went here for some sweet desserts. I ordered a chocolate cupcake and the champagne cupcake, my partner ordered red velvet and carrot cake. The customer service was good, the bakery was clean, and they appeared to be following all the guidelines for this current pandemic. The cupcakes were very beautiful and such a work of art. I only rated it 4 stars because the flavors and textures didn’t blowing my mind. They were cupcakes and they satisfied our need for a sugar rush. I still recommend them because I liked the service and the cupcakes are super cute.

If I could give them more stars, I would. I needed large orders (4-5 dozen) 2 days in a row to brighten kids’ birthdays at local shelters, and placed the orders online a few days in advance. They called to confirm the orders and timing, and had everything ready on time. Packaging was perfect for keeping the cupcakes pristine during transport. They even delivered the second day to save me time. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Holy smokes.My wife and I went in today on a whim as we passed by. Ive seen this store on UberEats more than once but have never really vibed for a cupcake when I am on the app.Do. Not. Sleep. On. This. Place. As someone particular on her food choices I cannot wait to go back. Fantastic service and environment before we even get to talking about how -good- the food is.

Not sure if the cupcakes 🧁 we bought tonight were old but they were so dry and not moist at all. To spend $3 a cupcake it’s quite disappointing to get quality worst than what the grocery store sells. Will not be going back.

Review β„–10

Reviewing this based off the workers there. Today is my birthday and I last minutely find out my parents were not on the same page for where they were getting my cake so I offered to find and pick one up myself. I called this store asking if I came in and ordered cupcakes if the lady could kindly write happy birthday on them. Something that takes like 30 seconds to do and just about every place I know does it but I wanted to try something new. She tells me that I have to order ahead to do that and they have other orders to accommodate and I ask her β€œeven though this is the quickest thing like 30 seconds ?” And she claims I don’t understand and that she doesn’t have time to take 30 seconds to do that for me. Yet she had many minutes to spare talking to me on the 2 calls I made to her. Not sure how she’s helping the people who come in to buy cupcakes if she can’t spend 30 seconds away from making orders. I felt it was extremely rude because yes if I was in her place I would have done that. It does not kill to fulfill a quick task for someone. You want sales and to make customers happy right ? Just really bummed and bothered me on my birthday. Not planning on ordered here ever. Customer service is important.

I am basing my review on my cousins wedding I attended last year - this was the only fail of the whole wedding (That I was aware of as a guest) - These cupcakes were of course BEAUTIFULLY displayed - BUT DRY and not memorable with the flavor. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR EVENTS! Not fresh!

I stopped by to pick up a couple cupcakes on my way home. I chose the banana cupcake with cheesecake frosting and a maple bacon cupcake. They smell really good in store so when I got in the car I bite the banana cupcake. πŸ›‘ The entire cupcake was ice cold like it come straight out of the fridge. Let’s just say my teeth aren’t happy. So I put them to the side for a while and after several hours and go back for the same cupcake. The frosting was super super sweet and somehow I missed the flavor of banana in that at all. So the next day I go for the maple bacon and it’s dry and Lacks flavor. I’m good these are not the cupcakes I crave.

This place is amazing! My husband and I found them when we were sampling cupcakes for our wedding and we ended up using this company. They have so many flavors and all of them are great. They had great cutomer service and their set up looked so great. We also ordered cookies from them and they really were amazing as well. Thank you guys for a stress free experience through the ordering and setting up.

Review β„–31

My wife purchased a cupcake for our 4 year old daughter. Daughter complained that the cupcake tasted funny. She did not want to continue eating the cupcake, we thought it was an excuse for her to get something else for dessert till we tried it for ourselves and the cupcake tasted like mold. So we have 12 mini cupcakes and 2 regular sized cupcakes that are going in the trash. If I could upload a picture of the mold tasting cupcake for proof I would be more than happy to.

Review β„–32

They make great cupcakes problem is every time i go get a few now they all taste like refrigerator and its GROSS!! The show case is refrigerated Im not sure how long they are in there but the last 2 times i went they tasted like stale freezer burn and at $3 a cupcake thats not what i want just to toss in the trash. You know when a kid doesnt want to eat a cupcake its gross!! Maybe they should put a box of baking soda in the show case!? For the price they should always bw fresh.

Delicious cupcakes at an affordable price. a dozen mini is 15$, a full sized cupcake is 2.75$.friendly staff and lots of options but with the mini cupcakes they only have what is in the back on that day so you cant go in and customize the dozen on the spot. they have all flavors of full size available.

So the place is really good I discovered this place doing Postmates and now I come here often for my escape for sweet craving the other day I called to place an over the phone order in the lady on the phone was ranting about how she had so much to do so I told her if it’s too much then never mind then before hanging up the phone she said β€œare you freaking kidding me” then shortly I walked in to place my order and she was talking about me to another coworker about the phone conversation that she had had with me not even realizing that that was me that she had spoken with on the phone she didn’t even greet me she finished her conversation and then proceeded to help me. Today I went in there and I place my order I got my cupcakes and the young lady that helped me was already in the back when I walked in she asked me if I want to be a receipt after paying for my order I told her no she then just walked away from the register and walk back to the back I haven’t even left the store yet at this point I’m not sure what’s going on in the back but I was kind of interested considering how she just walked in the back while I was still in the store the customer service here is terrible but I love the cupcakes if there was another restaurant and the same owner in my local area I probably would go there instead of here

2 stars because the Customer service & overall look of the shop/cupcake(s) were Good but Wow, the Cupcakes tasted awful! I tried the Red Velvet & Fudge Chocolate caramel - The Red velvet literally tasted like regular cake just dyed red & the Frosting is supposed to be CREAM CHEESE tasting but tasted like Lemon smh. Dont even get me started on the Chocolate cupcake. So I definitely wouldnt recommend.

Honestly Im not big on sweets but my boyfriend LOVES cupcakes. Saw this place unexpectedly while coming out of Michaels..and all I can say is WOW! It was so rich and moist! I usually hate store bought cupcakes because the taste and texture is never good to me. But wow this place nailed it! I might have to come here to see if they make wedding cakes or birthday cakes. Highly recommend

Excellent cupcakes, decent price and a guaranteed way to please any crowd or be the talk of any event. Cupcakes are perfectly cooked, come in interesting themes and flavors and keep well in the fridge. This place really knows how to make a cupcake and in all the places I have been to in the area, this is by far the best.

I love cupcakes, so I was really excited when I discovered this place. We opted for very basic cupcakes. I had the vanilla and my friend had the lemon. It was terrible !!!! Tasted like it came from the box that I could have made myself. The decoration are nice and the selection is big, but the overall quality is horrible.

I wish this business well, but gotta be honest. The cupcakes were somewhat dry and disappointing. The vanilla one tasted more like sponge cake than vanilla cake. The peanut butter/chocolate and all chocolate ones needed to be moister.

De
Review β„–59

The frosting was way way way toooo sweet! It was like eating many different sugar alone itself same time. Although the bread part was amazing! I wouldnt recommend banana one because frosting was bitter and Caramel tastes like bubble gum. Pink champagne one was really good, frosting was way to sweet that it was hard to enjoy. The carrot cake was amazing frosting was way too sweet but tastes better than all the others. I wish theyd reduce the sweets. Not going back again, not worth the money.

Over priced. Per cupcake I spent 2.75I bought 8 to try the flavors. None impressed. The cake on the ones I bought were a dry or old. Overall just not worth the trip. Icing on the Cake in Sacramento had a smaller selection the day I went in, but all 4 I tried were moist and had good flavors.

2 stars, because the cupcakes are pretty and so was the associate: gross pumpkin cheesecake cupcake. I asked the associate to redeem my opinion of the quality of the cupcakes by giving me something better and she said no, you have to buy one. I just did! I bought one, and the batter had no flavor but that of a refridgerator. Way to go, Cupcake Craving. Thanks! You sure know how to get rid of a craving AND a customer. .

My Daughter was craving cupcakes being 5 Mons pregnant.So we stopped here and I was so disappointed when I tasted the lemon cupcake it had a weird Taste. The Banana cupcake Frosting was like modeling clay, And the cake it self was not fresh it seemed like a couple days old .Just not Tasty and not satisfied.Sorry the cake was like it just sat in a freezer for days . Now I have a headache from that weird lemon flavor ! Yuck!!I gave it 2 stars because presentation was good. And customer service, the young lady was nice.

Review β„–65

Meh- if you are going to go to the trouble of opening a cupcake business you should learn how to make good cupcakes. The frosting is fine but the cake is mediocre and at $2.75 its a rip off at this quality. Better go to etorres or somewhere where its worth the calories. Either that or get cupcakes at the supermarket that taste like this.

I purchased two Groupons for Cupcake Craving at $18.00 apiece for $30.00 merchandise for each one.. Locations were listed as in Folsom and Sacramento. Folsom is closer to me so this was perfect.Imagine my shock and surprise to find that the Folsom location called Jakes Desserts was no longer around- Gone, Zippo not there at all.I called the Sacramento Store (note here that there never was a phone number for Jakes listed) The gal in Sacramento said oh yea that place closed. You have to come down here to Howe and Arden. Really? I live in Cameron Park!!! Now after reading comments I have decided it is not worth my time to deal with this silly company. I will look closer to town.

So far the worst cupcakes Ive tasted. Very thick and dense like a store bought muffin. The frosting and buttercreams were made great. I tried the Banana cupcake that was supposed to be stuffed with Caramel but when I cut it in half The cupcake was so thick the caramel was barely there. It was about less than a penny size and hard instead of a soft caramel. It may also be that the cucakes were served so cold almost frozen and that hardened their caramel. I also tried Maple Bacon cupcake, that was possible the worst. It was so dry and crumbly and had bacon bits all through out the cupcake. It was really really bad. I gave it to my 6 yr old and he just threw it away. And I bought the coconut praline which had no frosting only topped with toasted coconut. The cupcake was so dry and hard to swallow. I took one bite and had to throw it away.Im not writing this review to be mean, I am writing this in hopes that the baker reads this. I would look into improving the batter used to make the cupcakes. They should be light moist and fluffy. When I dig my fork into it, it should be effortless. Somehow They are coming out waay to thick and dry. I would also look into the fridge that you have them displayed in the front and make sure you are storing them at the proper temperature to avoid freezing them or serving them too cold. That can change the tastevas well. Wish you the best hope it helps.
