    High priced below average cupcakes. This place is just not it. I passed by this place a bunch so o figured I'd step in, and wish I hadn't. I stopped by to pick up four cupcakes and it cost me $14! - red velvet - no flavor, dry -chocolate - better cupcakes at Walmart - lemon- so dense it felt like I was eating a biscuit instead of a cupcake - peanut butter- good peanut butter flavor The customer service was AWFUL. Was not greeted when I came in. I had never been there before so I had to ask if they did 4 cupcakes or if there was a number to get. Didn't even get asked what flavors I wanted, I basically had to ask if they were ready. No communication other than giving me the price. I saw two people in there and neither acknowledged me, other than what they were forced to do. Will never return here and I'd suggest finding a different spot. Nothing Bundt cakes is across the street with way better cakes and wayyyy nicer service.

    I was excited to find a cupcake place that had gluten free and vegan cupcakes as I am a cupcake and cake pop lover! I saw this establishment on my way to oak lake park, nice place to stop after some exercise. Pros: service was very friendly, they had several options of cupcakes and cake pops to choose from. The small establishment was very small/cozy and appeared very clean. They have one small table for patrons. I enjoyed looking at all of the decorations and cake options. They offer discounts on purchases if you sign up with their shop, I was happy to receive a discount on my first purchase as well as receiving a free cake pop just for checking in with Yelp! Masks were required, social distancing signs were in place. I don't recall seeing hand sanitizer. There was no available bathroom to wash hands. As for the gluten free cupcake I had, it was rather on the dry side, it wasn't very tasty at all, I was rather disappointed. I ended up throwing it away (it's my first time in my life not eating my entire cupcake). My toddlers regular cupcake was just ok, she liked it. The cake pop was not delicious or moist, such a bummer. I had planned to order cake pops for my daughter's birthday but I definitely won't be getting them from here after tasting my free one. I was really surprised I didn't like any of the options I tried considering they were featured in cupcake wars. They also sell cookies which I didn't try. All the way to the right is a large refrigerator that has all the gluten free/keto options. Keep in mind the GF cupcakes are smaller than the regular cupcakes. I hope to give them a try one more time the next time we are in the area.

    Gluten free cherry pie

    We stopped here for a cupcake for a celebration and bought the gluten free strawberry crunch cupcake and it did not disappoint. There was strawberry puree filling and the frosting wasn't too sweet. Also bought a gluten free cherry pie. A few days later we went back and got the remaining pies they had. This was the best gluten free pie crust at ​any bakery across the country. The girl was very polite and didn't mind listening to my story about how we came across their shop. It was a pleasant experience across the board.

    I came to Carolina Cupcakery with one goal in mind, which is to eat some Red Velvet cupcakes. The first thing I noticed is the amount of cakes, cupcakes, and sweets that they have inside the store. I felt a little bit overwhelmed, but it feels like heaven. The store was very well decorated, but I noticed that the store was not well lit. I was surprised to learn that 1 red velvet cupcake cost me more than $4 (including tax). Even though it was a little bit pricey, the cupcake was really good especially the cream cheese frosting. The cupcake is not very sweet, but the cream cheese is a little bit sweet. It's a little bit moist as well, which is what I always look for when I eat cupcakes. In the end, I enjoyed my cupcake a lot. I just wish that the price is a little bit cheaper.

    Their cupcakes are AMAZING!!! They have all kinds of cupcakes and desserts. FYI - They make Keto and Vegan cupcakes too!

    These are definitely huge cupcakes! Good to split with someone. Place was clean. Lots of options to choose from. The French toast cupcake was awesome! Very different but tastes like the real thing! If I was ever close by I would definitely stop in more, but unfortunately this place is sort of out of the way :/ Really good cupcakes though!!

    found this place in the plaza where I was ordering some takeout. I ordered a lemon, Pink Champagne, key lime, and a strawberry jumbo cupcake 4-pack. So picked up some red velvet vegan Donuts The lemon cupcake was slightly dry. They state that they bake every day m house. I kind of felt like this cupcake was a day old. It's covid era and businesses are slow so I wouldn't be surprised and I can't be mad at that. The Pink champagne cupcake was interesting. I didn't quite understand what was the flavor that they were going for. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. The cupcake itself was not very flavorful and also a little too dry. The lack of sweetness isn't a terrible thing considering that there was a lot of icing. The key lime tart cupcake was quite moist. The combo of tarte sweet icing in subtle cupcake was a perfect combination. Strawberry cake is always one of my favorites and I look forward to almost always picking it. especially when a place brands themselves by using real strawberries. I found out there strawberry cupcake was a decent contender amongst strawberry cupcakes. The strawberry in the cake itself brought great flavor and the icing provided a good balance of strawberry tart-sweetness. Overall, All of the icings were sweet and created a balance for the lack of Sweetness in the cupcakes themselves. The red velvet vegan donut was unique. I'm not a huge chocolate fan yeah. I knew I wanted to try the red velvet cake donut. They did a good job and I was happy that I had two to enjoy. The customer service was great here. Even through the pandemic, the young girl at the counter was friendly and allowed me to take my time picking my desserts. Note that If you are vegan, gluten-free, dairy free etc.. this place had an option for anyone's pallet, dietary restrictions, taste buds and that was pretty cool in my book! There are even pet treats here! I frequent the Virginia Beach area to visit family and I'm sure I'll be back soon

    Carolina Cupcakery worked with my small wedding budget. I was still able to get the delicious, tiered cake I was dreaming of!

    I hired Carolina Cupcakery for my wedding cake. They have great customer service. The ladies I worked with were so sweet and friendly, and prompt to respond. I had a small wedding budget, and they worked with me to get the 3-tiered cake I was dreaming of. They were even willing to use the cake decor I had purchased on Amazon. Our cake was delivered on time and looked beautiful. Very happy!!

    Pumpkin cupcake with espresso frosting

    Cupcake was beautiful. Taste wasn't as good. I order the pumpkin spice cupcake with espresso frosting. Sadly is was very dry and heavy and the frosting was too sweet. Cupcakes are large but $5 seems a little expensive for a cupcake.

    Very slanted cake.

I wanted something small since it was just for the two of us. They made us a "smash cake" for a great price. I paid the first half of the deposit when I placed the order, and the second half once I had the gender results. They were able to make my cake that same day! They told me 3pm and when I arrived the cake wasn't finished. I had to wait 15minutes and the piping did look a little rushed. I would have preferred they said a later time and were able to make the piping look as neat as possible. This being said I'm still impressed and grateful they made the cake on such short notice. I also requested pastel colored filling and it was very dark. Unfortunately I did not love the taste of the cake and couldn't not eat more than a few bites. The vanilla icing was overly sweet. I would be interested in going back and trying some cupcakes though! Overall the cake served its purpose at a very great price!

I don't know how anyone else is going to top this. I could not get enough of these cupcakes.

    I stopped by Custom Cake Cakery today to pick up some cupcakes. I used to come here before when it…read morewas a different bakery years ago. So it was my first time here since they changed. I was greeted right away. The young lady at the counter was nice, she was patient, and she answered all my questions. The store is a vibe. There are beautiful flowers and decor, and it's pretty and clean inside. There's a table inside, but it's not much space to eat there. So it's more of a pickup type of bakery. They had several different flavors of cupcakes in the display which all looked tasty!! They also sell custom cakes and other baked goods. I grabbed my cupcakes but I was taking pics for my review. So as I'm taking pics, I'm smiling and minding my business. A lady walks in and you can tell she was in a bit of a mood. She started talking to the girl behind the counter in a rude tone. So I went on taking my pics, and the counter where the register was, had several boxes, so I sat my cake box down on this little cart that had toppings. I thought it was too cute not to get a pic of. All of a sudden I hear the same tone say "please don't sit anything there"! I wasn't aware she was talking to me at first so, she said ma'am and I turned around. She told me no, don't put anything on that, we take that to shows or for catering. She said it could get scratched up or dinged. I apologized and moved the box. She was still talking. So I said ok. I mentioned there wasn't a sign up or anything to alert me that it was a problem. But I wasn't being rude or weird. I mean it literally was a small dessert box. When we both walked outside I told her I wasn't trying to be rude, I just wasn't fond of how she was speaking to me and thought the sign would help avoid conflicts in the future. She obviously didn't want to talk about it, so she said we never needed a sign because no one has ever done that before!! As if I'd broken some unspoken law. Lol. By this time I was confused as to what I did that was so wrong, I even had to giggle because this small situation didn't warrant her being snappy. I tried to give her grace because I don't know what kind of day she was having. But I'm assuming she's the owner at this point. She should definitely get her tone in check, because customers can pick up on your nice nasty approach. I thought this was going to be a good experience, but it left me confused and a little disappointed. The whole vibe was light and airy before she walked in. As for the cupcakes they were not what I expected. I got a mystery box so it was a mix of cupcakes they pick out that are leftovers from the previous day. But these had to have been from several days ago because each and every one was hard, none were moist. Very heavy cupcakes. There was carrot cake, I think a maple one, lemon blueberry, and chocolate. I noticed the carrot cake one had the after taste of raw flour.. . The chocolate one and the lemon blueberry tasted the best out of all of them, but each one of them had to much extract, except the chocolate one. I'm not just saying this because of the encounter we had. I don't hold grudges, this is an honest reaction. I had been excited to try this place because I have a sweet tooth. Maybe the fresher cupcakes taste better, so I'll give them that. But these weren't good to me. That's just my opinion, but still check them out, maybe it'll be a different experience and you may enjoy the flavors!! Again it's a gorgeous store!!

    Given the sheer number of positive comments I received during the birthday party where these cakes…read morewere the star, I would be remiss in not providing a review. As you can see from the pictures, the birthday cake and "smash" cake are absolute works of art. Our requests along with the artist's input ("baker" seems inadequate and probably inaccurate...) resulted in visually stunning, whimsical and an utterly ideal end product for the precious one year old baby girl guest of honor! But the accolades do not end with the visuals. I am grateful for the expertise and guidance received as I ordered for our party. I could not have asked for a better outcome. The actual cake was flavorful and tender. Even with the cakes still chilly from overnight refrigeration, the texture was light and moist - rich in taste with so many rave reviews from our guests. Since nana got to keep the leftover smash cake remains, picking through the baby's carnage has absolutely been worth the effort. If there is a "negative" it would probably be along the line of costs but given the nature of government imposed exorbitant taxes, there isn't much we can do about that. The first time I ordered any custom cakes elsewhere, the smash cake was a courtesy and provided at no charge. With that said, there absolutely is no comparison in end-products. We received two unique, beautifully crafted delicious cakes. And given how many years it has been since venturing in to the world of custom cakes, the price seems commensurate with inflation and nearby comparisons. So, I think this whole venture proves you do "get what you pay for" and you will find only praise for Custom Cake Cakery.
