Cake Gypsy - Bakeries Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

Cake Gypsy is an amazing little find. They have a ton of great options from cupcakes and cinnamon rolls - with a variety of choices. We really like that they have cake batter, Nutella, and more. They change all the time too! They also do cupcakes for your dog! They've got peanut butter frosting and my dog inhaled it. Due to COVID they're only allowing one person in at a time but you order ahead, you can call and they'll bring it right to your car in a matter of minutes. I love them and was so glad to find them! read more

Sorry, this is one of the few times where I had a completely different experience than the rest of Yelp. I was looking for cupcakes for a bridal shower. After hearing about how great the cupcakes here were, I stopped in and bought the White Chocolate Raspberry and the Salted Caramel. Both looked absolutely incredible, piled with frosting and artfully decorated. However, when I got home and tried them with my fiance, they were just too much. Too much frosting, too much sugar, too much artificial flavoring. The artificial raspberry flavor was bearable, but the salted caramel tasted so strongly of fake butterscotch that I couldn't even finish the cupcake. I like to eat the cake and frosting together and am always looking for a balance of sweetness, but each bite was just too sweet for me. This despite having the biggest sweet tooth among my group of friends. The cake itself was super fluffy with almost a cotton-like texture to it, which is lovely on its own but couldn't stand up to the mountain of frosting on top. I actually threw out both of the cupcakes half-eaten since neither of us wanted them. It sucks to have to write this bad review, because every other part of my experience was lovely. The store was beautiful and spotless. The lady behind the counter was sweet as pie. She packaged up my cupcakes in a lovely plastic carrier with their label on it. The prices are more than reasonable considering how large the cupcakes are. Unfortunately, they weren't the cupcakes I was looking for. Judging by everyone else's reviews, maybe it's just me, so I encourage you to still try this place if you like sweets. I just won't be back. read more

Cake Gypsy makes the best cupcakes!!! I've had them 5 times now and they are always fresh. The cake is moist and the icing is perfection. They have so many flavors to choose from. Some of my favorites are the fluffernutter, peanut butter iced with m&ms, pumpkin spice, s'mores, and strawberry. I've had cupcakes from most of the other bakeries in CT that specialize in them, and these are my favorite. read more

I believe I just had the single best cupcake of my entire life!!! This cupcake was brought to me in Buffalo, NY via a friend from New Jersey! I cannot even begin to say enough good things about how delicious the Carrot Cake Cupcake was!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could!!! read more

Disappointed. Cupcakes were dry and not very flavorful. Not worth paying for. Taste by Spellbound bakery gets my vote for best cupcake shop in the area! read more

I drove all the.way from Middletown, knowing that they are open on Tuesday's. I arrived to find the lights on & door locked. No sign in the window stating the reason. A woman sees me from inside the store and just looks at me. I write a note that I came all the way from Middletown and slipped it under the door. She picked up the note and again just looked at me. I've never experienced anything like it in my life and I won't have to again as I will never waste my time again. Extremely unfortunate and disappointing! read more

Love the bright atmosphere of this place, very welcoming! There are loads of cupcakes to choose from that would fit anyones appetite! I purchased four cupcakes, all of them were really tasty and perfect size- not oversized like some other places. One thing I was kind of take back from was the service. The girl that helped me seemed unamused that this was my first visit and she pretty much just wanted to know my order and move on, which was odd as I was the only one in the store. I will definitely go back and try some more cupcakes! read more

Ordered a dozen different cupcakes on the morning of my daughter's birthday. 2 hours later, I picked up twelve beautifully decorated cupcakes. But the best part was that evening, when we tasted them. Amazingly fresh with wonderful flavors. You can't go wrong with Cake Gypsy!! read more

Finally!! Cake Gypsy has opened its second store, and in a very convenient location along Route 44 so I can stop in to stock up on delicious cupcakes!! Cake Gypsy has classic, basic flavored cakes with unique frosting and topping combinations to make truly delicious cupcakes. The bakers of this shop make over 30 flavors of cupcakes every day including gluten free, vegan, and sugar free. You'll definitely be able to find a flavor you'll love. You can't go wrong with the flavors here!! The bakers even made mini cupcakes for customers to sample on opening day!! I got a mini salted caramel cupcake with a little homemade caramel candy on top as well as a mini orange cake with orange frosting that tasted just like a creamsicle. When you stop in, try my favorite: the Snickerdoodle, a vegan (made without dairy) cinnamon cake. It's absolutely delicious!! Also be sure to try anything with the mocha frosting. Yum!! Also created by the staff are homemade chocolates and truffles, with an entire wall of the shop featuring other candy treats. The shop also has a coffee and Gypsy Tea bar with over 20 flavors of artisan and organic teas. The shop will also be featuring other bakery items daily and have weekly specials. Cake Gypsy's tremendous success with these treats as well as support from its patrons has led to a wonderful second storefront, which is beautifully decorated and laid out nicely. The only downside of this new location is that it is not handicap accessible. It's a step up from the curb, then a step up to the building's front door, then a step up into the shop. The staff at Cake Gypsy, including owner Deanna, is incredibly kind and hardworking. They make cupcakes constantly, so you know what you get it incredibly fresh, especially with the high turnover since so many stop in!! A key concept that I will undoubtedly take advantage of: a customer loyalty and reward program. I get rewarded for eating cupcakes? Yes!! If you want fresh, scrumptious cupcakes, then visit Cake Gypsy. There's a reason the owner opened a second location!! read more

This place is a great little gem on Rt 44. Its a little hard to see off the road (tip: Its by the UPS), but the selection is massive and the service is great. They let you take your time looking at all the cupcakes, and will make some on the spot in case the one you wanted is out. The prices are pretty reasonable. Keep in mind that they are regular sized cupcakes (no muffin-sized Crumbs cakes here), which is great for sharing. The canolis are also great. While I was there I saw people asking about large orders for birthday parties, which I assume is very popular with them. I'll keep that in mind for my next event. Also, the hours are perfect. They are open during my drive home from work (Simsbury to West Hartford), so this might get dangerous. read more

Cake Gypsy - Huge cupcake selection! - Bakeries Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

I personally did not enjoy my cupcakes, the cake was very dry, and I was not impressed with the selection. It appeared mostly to be vanilla or chocolate cake with a million different frosting options. Overall it was a dry cake, and the frosting was too heavy and sweet. Comparable to a grocery store cupcake-which isn't my thing. read more

I'm not usually one to post reviews especially poor ones at that but I felt very upset and disrespected. I went to Cake Gypsy to get some cupcakes as I was heading to a friend's house later in the evening for dinner. I had tried calling to place an order but no one was answering and at one point I had gotten through and I couldn't tell if the worker hung up or if we got disconnected but I was just about to pay when it was disconnected they had my contact number and I didn't receive a call back. Which was fine because I do know they tend to have an amazing selection during the day so I decided to stop by. I have been the pick up person for my company many times and have no problem going in and picking out a variety of flavors. As I'm heading in I realize I need to find a restroom. I'm 7 months pregnant and it comes on very quickly LOL. I walk into CakeGypsy and remember there was a bathroom when I got stuck in a long line once. I walk over and the door is open so I go in. Lock it behind me. But as I am going one of the workers walks in and then closes the door. It's embarrassing but of course it happens. I wash my hands and head out and she's standing so close to the door and I said "oh I'm sorry!" And she said "just so you f***ing know. THIS is not a public restroom! Maybe f***ing ASK someone" and as she was walking in to the restroom I looked at the door and there wasn't a sign. The door was open. It's not like I was using the restroom and then leaving. My baby just really loves to kick me right there and as a woman I thought she would maybe understand. She was blond with bangs. Not sure of her name. But I was shocked. So I started to walk in to order the cupcakes and she came out of the bathroom and went behind the display walls and was TALKING ABOUT ME to her coworkers saying the nastiest things about someone she doesn't even know. I stood there for about 15 minutes as there was no one in the store and no one helping me. Then, I realize they're all on their phones in the back and talking. That's disgusting. I didn't know phones were allowed around food. All and all it was a disgusting experience and I refuse to ever go back. I told my coworkers about this and as we used to order a lot of cupcakes and sweets we have decided that the CakeGypsy culture and reviews are not something we support. It was the worst customer service experience of my life. At this point, I felt really embarrassed and sad so I left. I was in tears. It was humiliating. read more

I have traveled the world, and without a doubt these cupcakes are high on my list of best ever tasty treats. For the last couple of years for my birthday I treat myself to a dozen of different ones. All are good. read more

Cake Gypsy - Cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

very friendly staff, the cupcakes are phenomenal. however i will say... the cupcake to frosting ratio is a little much. trust me, i love sugar and could happily lick granulated sugar off my fingers, but the cakes are SO small compared to their tops and the amount of frosting piped on top of them. not proportional at all. like 70% frosting to 30% cake. justtttt too tiny cakes and too much frosting but that's the only bad thing i can say read more

Crazy sick awesome! Lol If you need to put on weight this is the place, if not run a few extra miles......almost impossible to eat just one

I picked up an assortment of cupcakes here for my son's class on their recommendation since they have items that are allergy friendly. I tried a bite of a confetti cupcake and thought it was great! I went back again with my son to try some more flavors. On our 2nd trip the vanilla cupcake had great flavor and the cake was moist. I am not a fan of frosting, so I cannot comment there. The chocolate cupcake however was much drier and didn't have great flavor. I would be interested to try some of the other varieties, but overall they have decent cupcakes. We also picked up some dog cupcakes for our puppies that they seemed to enjoy. This is a very cute shop and definitely worth trying. The allergen-friendly items are an added bonus. read more

Awesome cupcakes with chocolate frosting and I never would have known they were GF (we tried funfetti and chocolate)! Also tried mini cannolis but they were too sweet for me. read more

Absolutely loved the cupcakes here! We went roughly 1-2 hrs before closing and they were almost sold out of everything! We really enjoyed the red velvet, lemon, and raspberry cream ones! My goodness.. absolutely sweet and moist! Loved it! Definitely will be back!! read more

This is a gem of a bakery. The cupcakes are outstanding and the staff is very nice. Besides being delicious, the cupcakes are moist and tasty. The recipes are well thought out and the combinations are equally well done. Easily my favorite bakery in town. The bakery is well lit, clean and has a nice selection. No hesitation in recommending this business to anyone. read more

I love this bakery so much. The owner is so kind. All of their cupcakes are SO GOOD. I am absolutely in love with the uniqueness of their flavors and presentation. All of the cupcakes are so pretty and perfectly decorated. read more

Best cupcakes around. I always get their custom minis. There cannolis are out of this world too.

Delicious cupcakes and an amazing variety--bought for two birthdays while my son was in school nearby.

I don't know what the rave is. finally tried and the cupcakes were not anything special.

While their cupcakes are really tasty and are good for three days, the service is very slow. Waiting in line while there are multiple workers yet a long line and only 1 or 2 people taking orders seems odd. There should just be a person dedicated to check out when there is a line so those taking the orders aren't then following them to the register to ring them out. Will still come and wait in mine because they are that good!!! read more

The cupcakes are out of this world. Always a new cupcake to try. They are beautiful and delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and artistry of these gorgeous, delectable treats. read more

The staff was so accommodating with my order. I ordered 24 mixed holiday, birthday, fathers day, mothers day, anniversary, graduation etc. Everything we missed with family during covid. They did not disappoint us! We were so happy with there choice of decorations and the flavors we ordered. The staff was so friendly and excited when I picked up my order. Thanks so much for the wonderful cupcakes! They were so festive, tasted so moist and delicious! Happy Everything and Merry Everything! E.Flynn read more

Wow. I have had other cupcakes, but these really don't compare. A lot of the other companies are plain cupcakes with fancy frosting. These are the whole package. Really. Get up and head here for a cupcake, you won't regret it. read more

Best cupcakes ever! Hands down the most flavorful and the best assortment of flavors!

After stoping in after a long day at work... watch the older lady(I think the owner) belittling her co-worker was sad to see. She did not wash her hands and did not wear a hair net...see her curly hair being flung around.....I did not feel like taking a chance! read more

Love supporting small businesses! Their cupcakes are delicious and they have so many varieties. Usually when there are a lot of options, you sacrifice quality but I haven't found that here. Also, sometimes cupcake places have dense, dry cupcakes and this is NOT the case with Cake Gypsy. Their cupcakes are fluffy and moist. I will say - we are not big on frosting, so we tend to take some off. Would love to try options that are not frosted or have ganache instead. read more

Not worth the money. Dried out, obviously not fresh. Very disappointing as I gave them a second chance.

This is the place to go for cupcakes.. the cupcakes are never dry like so many other places, there is always a good selection of flavors, and they have the cutest doggy cupcake too! The salted caramel cupcake has my heart. read more

For my coworker's last day at our company, my team wanted to do something special for her. She was about to go on a 2 week road trip so flowers would not do. After searching online for bakeries that deliver (we live in different states) I found Cupcake Gypsy on DineinCt.com. I was able to order the cupcakes and have them delivered at a desired time. Super convenient!! I got my friend a 12 pack. Let me tell you there were so many good flavors it was hard to decide! We settled on Somoa, Strawberry Shortcake, Hot Fudge Sundae, Peanut Butter Cup, Coconut Cream Pie, Tiffany, and Unicorn. The Tiffany and Unicorn have basic vanilla flavors but look gorgeous. I highly recommend them for parties! My friend raved about them all. Her favorite was the peanut butter cupcake. Not surprising because she LOVES reeses. She also said the strawberry shortcake reminded her of a strawbery frosted Dunkin donut. They were all so moist and she could not stop raving about them. They made the perfect companion on her roadtrip. Between her and her husband I think they only lasted 3 days. In summary, I would definitely get Gypsy Cupcakes again for any of my CT friends. Thank you for making delivery so easy during these Covid times!!! read more

I've been a few times and each time it has been great. The people working are very nice, very nice service. Every cup cake I have tried has been wonderful. I went in today and asked about their watermelon cup cake and I loved it. It tastes incredibly like a watermelon. And of course all of their other cupcakes are 10/10 would and will eat again. read more

Made fresh everyday, never stale leftovers. Hands down the place to go if you want the largest selection available everyday without preorder. Staff is wonderful, as you struggle to decide what you want they don't rush you at all. Never had a bad experience. read more

Disgusting cake pops! none of my family members liked the inside. They only look pretty. Very dissapointing first time experience.

Great bakery with wonderful cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. For stay at home orders, they're still open and they only let one customer in at a time. The door is locked, you ring and they let you in. You exit out a different door, and then they wipe down and can let the next customer in. They have gluten-free stuff. I talked to them about it but haven't tried any yet. I'm not gluten-free myself, but I have a lot of friends who are! Funfetti cinnamon rolls are our favorite so far! read more

So happy with my order from Cake Gypsy! First, the woman who took my order was the kindest person I spoke to (throughout the surrounding area) when inquiring about cake pops. She was so helpful and accommodating. The cake pops are worth the money, they are gorgeous and delish. definitely recommend this place!! read more

Had a funfetti cupcake- the cupcake tasted and acted like a box mix. It fell apart and was crumbly, and couldn't support the weight of the frosting. The frosting itself wasn't great- while I was impressed at the actual decorations and color, the taste of the frosting left something to be desired. It tasted almost like there was lard mixed in, and wasn't a pure butter cream. I personally wouldn't order from here again. Two stars because it's better then a grocery store cupcake. read more
