I was lucky enough to win a giveaway on Instagram and was able to try their cupcakes for the first time this way. Nice that they have a keto option for those that still want to satisfy their sweet tooth while sticking to their diet or have dietary restrictions. My favorite flavor that I tried would have to be the lemon or red velvet (pretty much my go-to anywhere). The cupcakes are moist and the frosting is rich and creamy. Very sweet, so great to share! read more

This place is amazing. I love their cupcakes, and their flavor variety is awesome. We go here a lot and I never get tired of it. I've also recently ordered a custom cake from them for my husband's bday, and they did an amazing job!! read more

Cake Fetish - Custom cake: caramel frosting, pumpkin cake and fudge filling. - Desserts Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Despite the somewhat drab strip-mall exterior, the decor at Cake Fetish is bright, colorful and modern with plenty of seating. The refrigerated display case next to the counter was nearly empty when I arrived at 2:30pm, and the standing refrigerator next to the entrance was totally barren. Consider placing an order ahead of time if you'll be arriving in the late afternoon. Don't let the grocery store-like appearance of these cupcakes fool you. They are delicious! The cakes are good but the real treasures here are the frostings. Both of the ones I sampled tasted exactly like ice cream! Crazy! I had the Birthday Cake (vanilla cake topped with chocolate buttercream and a maraschino cherry) and the Grasshopper (chocolate cake topped with mint buttercream). Birthday Cake: The crumbly cake was moist and slightly dense with a robust vanilla flavor that had a hint of sweetness. The silky smooth chocolate buttercream had a milky sweet chocolate flavor that tasted exactly like melted Breyers chocolate ice cream. Awesome! When I was growing up I always had vanilla cake with chocolate ice cream at my birthday parties so this really is a birthday cake cupcake. Grasshopper: The chocolate cake was moist, but it had a fairly rough texture (maybe due to refrigeration?). It had a moderate dark chocolate flavor. The mint buttercream was absolutely fabulous. It was light and fluffy with a buttery mint flavor. It didn't have the sharp (almost acrid) bite of fresh mint, so I'm guessing that they used mint extract. Either way, it tasted exactly like Baskin Robbin's mint chocolate ice cream, which is one of my favorite ice creams of all time. Delicious! What is it with Cake Fetish and their ice cream frostings? How do they do it?? read more

Solidly decent cupcakes... though, my teeth hurt when I eat them because they are SO sweet. To be this expensive, it should taste awesome, not just sugary sweet. read more

Cake Fetish - Nomnomnom - Desserts Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Okay so I'd come across this name many, many times before and never got the chance to actually try it. However, the name really caught my attention and when I was in the hospital a couple of months back, I tried it for the first time (compliments of my baby daddy)! I loved it sooooo, SO much that shortly after I was discharged, I HAD to go back & bring a friend with me lol. Now, the place in itself doesn't stand out (in my opinion) if you're driving by it. I say this because we GPS'd there & drove past it again that same day & I had completely forgotten it was there. It must be the color of the business sign, who knows... but when you go inside, I absolutely love the vintage type of vibe. Maybe it's not vintage? Idk, I don't work for HGTV lol. But it's really beautiful & has a great, calm vibe. There is a lot of options to choose from, so be prepared to rip out your hair on deciding. They even have the APS Goldbars which are AMAZING by the way. Those are actually decently priced at $2. The cupcakes, however, are a different story lol. I felt they were pretty pricey, BUT you sure as heck get what you pay for. These may be the best cupcakes I've EVER had, thus far. They're super moist, nice & soft. Perfect texture, delicious all around! The sweetness is perfect because it's not overwhelming. Of course, if you choose one with a very sweet topping that might change but I've tried quite a few and even the frosting isn't too crazy. They're truly beautiful looking cupcakes as well. My absolute favorite is the German chocolate cupcake. Lord will need to save me from this place because I will ALWAYS come back! They also have this really good Hershey's chocolate milk you should try! Please go to this place! You WILL NOT R read more

I tried these for the first time the other day after passing the location many times. I'm honestly not a huge fan of cakes/cupcakes but, wow! This company changed my mind. The cupcakes are moist, dense, perfectly sweet, and the frosting is top notch. They have a great variety of flavors to choose from (mint chocolate is definitely my favorite). read more

Delish! Have not been here in several years, but will remedy that. Big cupcakes, fresh, high quality ingredients, flavors perfectly meshed. Had German chocolate. Perfect! Not overly sweet in the cake but light, rich and sweet topping. And toasred coconut. Better than the GC cakes I have had from local bakeries. I will try more flavors. Also, the portion sizes make more sense than a big cake. I'm a cupcake believer now. read more

Get there early as the choices are few late in the day. Cupcakes and goodies are truly delightful. Mom and pop shop so the customer service is kind and friendly. We are from out of town so this place was a nice surprise for dessert after a good dinner. read more

I needed a sort of specialty cake for my husband's 40th birthday. The people at this bakery made it happen with no problem at a very reasonable price. The bakery is very clean and cute and this will be where I get all of my birthday cakes in the future! read more

These are some of the best cupcakes I've ever had, and I lived for ten years in Austin, a city that went absolutely cuckoo for cupcakes back in the early 2000's. By that I mean, I've tried a lot of cupcakes and these are up there at the top of the list. First of all, and probably most importantly, the cake part of this cupCAKE is not an after thought, or merely some sort of "icing delivery system." No, this cake is actually very good cake all on its own. Secondly, the yummy cake has just the right amount of delicious frosting. I am not a fan of frosting overload. I like to be able to take a nice bite of cupcake and not come away with a snoot full of frosting, you know? Anyway, these little gems are deeeelish and I will be back for more, though currently my fave is the lemony one. read more

My favorite cupcake place in all of Albuquerque!! I'm not sure what they put in the vanilla cupcake batter but it's AMAZING. I bought my wedding cupcakes from here 10 years ago and it's nice to see the quality and service has not changed a bit! It's only improved! Also they are locals! Wonderful gem of Albuquerque!! read more

This is my second time visiting Cake Fetish since moving here from California. Both times, as many reviews have commented on, service is not super friendly. I find this pretty typical of ABQ though. However, the cupcakes are very good. I purchased three and split them (seriously) with my husband. We both agreed the chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting was up there at the top of the "best cupcake" list I'm compiling. The red velvet was a little dry and something was off about the center cream in the German Chocolate cupcake. I would definitely buy cupcakes here again...I have a small sugar problem:) read more

We spent Mother's Day weekend with our mothers testing cakes in Albuquerque to choose our wedding cake for our wedding in December! We chose to go with Cake Fetish. The wedding cake turned out to be absolutely perfect and was so delicious! It was so moist and flavorful! Not to mention absolutely classy and gorgeous! Thank you Cake Fetish for our gorgeous wedding cake! read more

Love Cupcakes? Why don't you try a "Devil Made Me Do It"? Or a "Pucker Up"? How about a Sleepless In Albuquerque, Love Monkey, Zen, Margarita Madness, Zen, Yin, Yang, Joy Ride, Chai Latte, Velvet Elvis, Envy, or a Razzmanian Devil? The owner's creativity is seen not only in the naming, but also in the taste of these yummy cupcakes. A cupcake at the "Cupcakes" in Chicago costs $3 each. What a rip off! At Cake Fetish, they are $1.75 each or $10 for a dozen. Mini cupcakes are $6.50 a dozen. There are 12 different varieties (I think Chicago's has 6) every single day. I went to a low key wedding a couple of months ago, and instead of an expensive wedding cake, they had hundreds and hundreds of cupcakes. What a cool idea! Cupcake fanatics in Chicago and San Francisco, check this place out. You may want to take the store home with you. It's that great. PS: For the record, I'm still off sugar. (and I don't miss it one bit). I'm just reminiscing. And I will definitely have a cupcake when I'm in Albuquerque next. read more

I went back and forth with the owner to place a custom cake order. I received a quote from the owner and wanted to proceed with the deposit, etc. and never heard back from her. I tried calling the store, and instead of trying to help me, the employee simply said the owner was out of town. I was not getting a good sense from the bakery, so I tried one final time and emailed the owner. Again, no response. At this point, I had wasted enough of my time with Cake Fetish and moved on to another bakery, which worked out great for me. I guarantee that I will not be wasting my time again with this bakery. read more

My quest to eat cupcakes across the country took me here yesterday afternoon. I feel like I should apologize to the young lady working. Clearly my attempts to buy cupcakes were bothersome. So, for whatever I did that made you treat me like my business and my presence were an utter disgust and waste of your time, I'm sorry. Really. I hope your day (and your attitude) improved. Now, the actual cupcakes. We got the mini mixed pack. The cake was moist, but lacked flavor. The frosting was an odd hybrid of whipped cream and butter that was disappointing. Overall, the quality was on par with a supermarket bakery. Not terrible, but not great. As a whole, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively. I wouldn't go back. read more

I don't get it. When I was there, the service was rude. When I wanted to buy additional cupcakes the retail person waited on the person in front of me, then turned her back and went into the kitchen. Even though I was standing right there at the counter. When I went there the cake was bad. Oh, the flavors all sounded good. But the flavor had been muted by long refrigeration. The cake was hard and tough and dry. So, bad cake + bad service. Would you go back? Not me! read more

All of these rave reviews make me wonder if I just showed up too late to the game. We tried their cupcakes as well as a cake from there and were just not that impressed. After eating several different flavors of cupcake I have to say that the only one that really stood out was mocha. The cake we had was chocolate with chocolate frosting and raspberry filling. Pretty basic, but we like that in a cake generally. Unfortunately all of them were on the dry side and the chocolate cake did not taste very chocolaty. It was as if they did not add enough baking chocolate to the recipe or something. I felt the icing was oily and not very palatable. Something about the flavor oil I think made it a bit "off"... probably artificial flavoring... which while cost cutting is also off putting. They are adorable, which would be fantastic if I had only wanted to Look at cupcakes... All in all it makes me sad to "meh" a cupcake place, but I feel like it is the best I can honestly give based on our experience. read more

This is such a cute little store with the most amazing cupcakes. They have so many different varieties and daily specialties that it makes it fun to pick out your favorite flavor. Gluten cupcakes we're also available. The staff was friendly and gave me a punchcard to encourage my return. I ordered a lemon cupcake that was full of flavor and sure to be one of my favorites. read more

Cupcakes are yummy. Duh. Cake Fetish is a pretty darn good cupcake shop. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I have always been greeted warmly and treated well, never rushed or given the cold shoulder. Excellent customer service. The selection is pretty good, lots of varieties to choose from. They have daily standards as well as day of the week standards. Each season they switch up flavors so you don't get bored with what's available. Each flavor has its appeal, and there is something for everyone. I have to agree with other posters who have commented that the cake part of the cupcake is on the dry side - my advice to the owners would be to experiment with their recipes to work on a moister cake. That would really make a difference in the overall quality, as well as bump up my rating to 5 stars. All in all, Cake Fetish is absolutely worthy of your business, but if they worked on the moist issue, they could really soar. Thumbs up! Go enjoy a cupcake! read more

Discovered this place on a family trip, shortly after really getting into my cupcake crazy. Decided to drag the whole family along to show them the wonderfulness of cupcakes. Should have tried it first on my own. Were they bad? No, not at all. They were ok. But just ok. A little dry actually, which to me, is one of the worst cupcake mistakes one can make. We had three (one each) and tried them all around. Again, the flavors were fine, but the cakes themselves left something to be desired. The staff was nice, but a bit distant. I wish there had been some cushy chairs, etc, but it is what it is, and it's not bad. Just not yet amazing. read more

What sets Cake Fetish apart from other cupcake establishments is selection - Cake Fetish has it. While most cupcake places will have, at best, six different types of cupcakes on any given day, every time I've walked into Cake Fetish I've been greeted with easily a dozen different types of cupcake. The selection isn't simply a choice between chocolate, vanilla cake and variations on the same frosting - take a gander at the menu on the website, I can't even begin to keep the different names and flavors seperate. Coffee frosting, Mint chocolate, strawberry filled, strawberry banana filled, peanut butter, the list goes on... ...But how do the cupcakes taste?! Pretty good. With names like "Sleepless in Albuquerque," "Zen," and "Drama Queen" Cake Fetish is clearly not a place that takes itself too seriously. The cake has always been moist, if not uniquely notable. The frosting has great flavor, but tends to come close to supermarket oily (as opposed to bakery buttery). Oh, and the prices aren't bad, either. At under $2 for a regular cupcake and a mere 55 cents for a mini cupcake, you can afford to try EVERY flavor offered that day. read more

It's hard not to smile upon walking into cake fetish -The sweet aroma, the display of beautiful cupcakes, and the cute cashiers! The cupcakes are amazing, however the frosting is a little too sweet for me. read more

The cupcakes are delicious! And so pretty! Great owners. Must try!! We have been getting them since they opened many years ago and they never disappoint! Be sure and try a Velvet Elvis! My fav! read more

Absolutely love this place. Cute little shop near mall and cupcakes are amazing, all of them!

Best cupcakes in Albuquerque! Let's be serious there aren't many options in the town. And they all use regular butter cream, thick and grainy - yuck. I despise regular butter cream and thankfully Cake Fetish takes the time to make French butter cream. I've been to the other shops in town and it's crap in comparison to CF. They have a great variety of flavors, cupcakes are moist and flavorful. read more

I thought the cupcake I ordered (grasshopper) was good, although overpriced. $2 can fly at Magnolia in New York, but not in Burque. The saddest thing about this place is the interior. They had an opportunity to create a really cute environment in which you would want to stay, order coffee, and chat with friends. Instead this place looks like a 1950s nearly bankrupt diner. You want to get your cupcake and get out. You do get a sense that the staff is like, "Oh God! A customer!" The woman who waited on me told me she couldn't wait to leave for the day. read more

The girls and the owner here are amazing...plus so are their cupcakes. I can always find exactly what I need and get Friendly service! Thank you! read more

Cake Fetish - Perfect thank you for an office on a Monday! - Desserts Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Came here on a Friday afternoon by recommendation of a coworker. I was skeptical since I'm a cupcake snob, spoiled by being able to travel a lot and taste from Georgetown cupcakes to Kara's cupcakes... I ordered 3 cupcakes including the red velvet and I was pleasantly surprised by how moist and tasty it was! I was very pleased and though no cupcake can replace the decadent Kara's I must say they were pretty good. read more

My husband and I went to this place to see the desserts since we saw the fun car in the parking lot. We bought 6 cupcakes and 2 pupcakes. My dogs INHALED their treats. The cake portion of the cupcake was so moist and delish! My husband was raving about the cake itself. The frosting however all seemed to taste the same, aside from the mint one. They do have Keto cupcakes and when I start doing keto - I want to try them! We will probably go back but in the meantime, we will keep looking for our favorite cupcakes. read more

i have been coming here for years for one cupcake.... the half baked. I find it odd that most of the time I am unable to get it unless i can go in first thing in the a.m. that is rarely feasible but as a business you should make sure your top selling cakes are available. ( went in with kiddos at 11am and we were met with the young blonde girl's uncaring "sold out"). as opposed to spending 15-30 dollars, I spent nada. I decided to not return again. I will figure out other options and tell my husband to go elsewhere for our special occasions. read more

Best cupcakes in town! Great variety of flavors with the best fillings and frostings as well. Anyone with a sweet tooth is sure to love this place for a sweet treat. read more

First I should say I am not really a "cupcake" person per se. Molten lava cakes are my fav -- but that's not cheap or easily found. When I want a quick and easy sugar fix, I would definitely return again. It's located near the Coronado Mall, in the same complex that Stanton Optical is at. I'm giving 5-stars because of the excellent service I received. I came in AFTER closing -- yeah I'd hate me too -- and they still serviced me with a smile :) I purchased the livingsocial deal and paid extra to make it a variety (only about $3 extra). It was super yummy! Unfortunately I have no freakin clue which one I like since there was a dozen -- each a different flavor :/ The icing is not overly sweet and the cupcake was moist. The decoration on the cupcake was super cute! I loved it so much I purchased the deal again! :) read more

Coincidence or was it luck? Found this establishment across the street from the hotel was staying at... Awesome a cupcake place! After my sister introduced me to Miss Priss cupcakes in Long Beach, CA I've have a new found respect for them. The taste, the decoration, the service - basically the overall quality. Walked in this establishment which had quite a few original selections. Purchased 4 different types to taste and came out with the same conclusion. The frosting and extra sprinkles, candy on the cupcakes is to primarily compensate for the cupcake itself. It was bad, it just didnt have the soft or moisture taste that my taste buds have been accustomed to when eating a cupcake. It was okay to try, but that its. Wasnt terrible, but it wasnt great! read more

This place doesn't meet the same standards as some other big city gourmet cupcakes- but I don't think you'll find better in Albuquerque! When I decided to have cupcakes in place of a traditional wedding cake I went to every single cupcake bakery in town- they delivered a well priced beautiful product! As far as customer service goes- possibly some of the worst in Abq. Can you not even give me a fake smile when I hand you money? read more

Honestly the best red velvet cupcake I've ever had in my life Definitely going again!!!

We've been coming here for the past year and I'm finally reviewing because today we brought 6 Beautiful Cupcakes home and they are amazing! The cookie dough was full of chocolate chips and chunks of cookie dough - totally worth every bite! Why do I love this place? The cupcakes are moist and dense, the middles are filled with extra sweetness, each one is full of flavor and the frosting tops each one perfectly! Thanks for satisfying my sweet tooth :) read more
