My wife is medically required to stick to a Gluten free diet, and baked goods are something she really misses. Not only were they able to bake her a dozen gluten free cupcakes for her birthday, but they did it on short notice AND then stayed open a half hour late when weather delayed me picking them up. Cupcake and a smile, you literally saved the (birth)Day! Thank you so much! read more

These are some of the best cupcakes I've ever had. Moist and light with perfect frosting.

The cupcakes were very delicious and well infused with the flavors that were advertised. I loved all the different but tasty frostings as well as the moist and flavorful cakes. The duo made the cupcakes to die for. The packaging was on point as well. I really loved the strawberry cupcake, which was surprising as it is not usually my go to. read more

2 words : freakin yummy. I was heading to pick up lunch next door at pier 36 and was craving cupcakes. I pulled up to the shopping Ctr and looked up and LO and behold I parked in front of this little cupcake shop. It was fate. I picked up a pancake bacon cupcake, coconut walnut cupcake, a cc cookies cupcake ($3 each) and a cowgirl (nuts with coconut) cookie $1.99. A dozen cupcakes is $30. Ate the big cookie on the way home. Perfection. Not too sweet and crispy outside chewy inside. The cupcakes were kinda small but were so very very tasty. Sweet but flavorful. The other flavors were the classic strawberry, chocolate, wedding cake, red velvet but I like to try unique flavors. I'd def be back! read more

Cupcake and a Smile - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've had cupcakes from all over the great state of Texas, that includes the huge franchise who will not be named and one off mom and pop cupcake shops. But i can honestly say without a doubt these are some of the best if not the best. MOIST, flavorful, solid price point. The owner and baker Sharndell really knows her cupcakes. If you call a day in advance you can place an order for cupcakes that are on the menu or even some that aren't on the regular menu. I placed an order for a strawberry cheesecake, peach cobbler, carrot cake, wedding cake, and maple pecan yesterday and they were ready today! Last but but not least that carrot cake cupcake changed my life for the better...it's like a good woman! read more

Cupcake and a Smile recently catered an event at my work. They arrived on time and were friendly and easy to work with! A lot of people raved about the strawberry cupcakes and the cowboy cookies. They were more affordable than other food trucks in the Houston area, so it's great for a small/medium event. read more

What a great bakery and a nice owner! My daughter has just moved to Houston, and I ordered cupcakes for her birthday. Communication with the business was great, and the cupcakes were both pretty and delicious. Delivery was made on time, and I received a call from Sharndell to let me know. Wonderful service--now both my daughter and I know of a wonderful bakery near her! read more

I've had this business bookmarked for quite awhile, but hesitated to make the drive from the EaDo to Richmond. Mostly I was afraid that I'd drive all the way and receive some subpar cupcakes. Well, yesterday my boyfriend and I were downtown at the Gingerbread making contest and low and behold, I spotted the Cupcake With A Smile food truck. I immediately checked my Yelp to ensure it was the same business and quickly walked over. The lady was super sweet at the window and I ordered a Wedding Cake cupcake, an Oreo cupcake and an iced cookie. A chocolate cupcake had fallen in its package, which I assume was "unsellable," so she gave me that too. I waited until I got home before I gave them a try and Oh! My! Lord!!! These cupcakes can only be described as heavenly...no make that legendary! The icing was phenomenal, but amazingly the cupcake itself was soft and moist. Goodbye Crave & Sprinkles, I'm driving to Richmond from now on! read more

Don't let construction prevent you from enjoying the delicious treats and friendly service! You may have had dry, unappealing, Kindergarten-style "colorful rocks" served by a lazy, distracted clerk...but not here! I enjoy the chocolate and red velvet, not to mention the other special versions like salted carmel. The cupcakes are professional in appearance and always moist - like a cupcake should be! I am not sure of the "how", but all you need to do is ask yourself the "why". Why aren't you driving there now? I enjoyed an assortment of flavors as a special request on my recent birthday and they did not disappoint! They were reasonably priced compared to other Sugar Land establishments of similar fame. You should give them a try! read more

Most cupcake places over to the frosting and try to make the cupcake look "pretty" but you end up paying $3-4 for a cupcake that taste like crap. But you won't get that at Cupcake and a Smile! OH MY GOSH! I absolutely love the S'mores cupcake. I wasn't sure which cupcake to get, when I asked which one to get, she recommended S'mores. It was a chocolate cupcake with a gram cracker type crust on the bottom and chocolate chips. The cupcake was so moist/soft loved it! Also, I picked up the Oreo cupcake for my parents but it looks so good. read more

The cupcakes are GREAT! My babies will be happy #foodtruckfridaycomcast read more

I had Cupcake and a Smile cupcakes today for my birthday as a surprise from my husband. He had cupcakes delivered straight to my doorstep. He said everyone was so very nice to him and he was very happy with service. I as the birthday girl today am very happy with the cupcakes! They tasted amazing and were so moist. To the lady who delivered them, thank you for being so incredibly sweet and wishing me a happy birthday!!! I will be a returning customer! read more

Tried the strawberry cupcake and it was to die for! Hands down best strawberry cupcake I've ever had. Flavor was strong and the cake was moist. Much better than the typical big box cupcake stores. Can't wait for my next cupcake! read more

Just tried these for the first time and I am in love!! The lemon cupcake was perfection. My husband had the smores cupcake and it had a graham cracker crust on the bottom, out of this world good! I won't pay $3-5 for most fancy cupcakes because the taste is off or the icing is weird, but I'd buy these again and again. I hope this food truck frequents my area because I am a fan! read more

The moistest cupcakes ever! I had the pumpkin cupcake. Usually these are dense and heavy, but not this one. So very good. I had a bite of my son's strawberry cupcake. It we made with real strawberries. No box mix! I'm not a red velvet fan but I had a bite of my husbands and I would have eaten the whole thing if I could have. It tasted like it was supposed to. Not red chocolate like so many people make. Definitely visit the store or find the food truck. read more

Amazing service ! This will be my go to cupcake place from now on! I can't say enough how incredible the owner is. The day of my mom's birthday I called to make a cupcake order so it could be delivered at the elementary school she teaches at. I wanted the cupcakes to get there in time before the students were gone (she teaches special ed) and cupcake and smile accommodated my last minute cupcake request and pushed up the delivery time . Great assortment , great service , will be using them for all my sweet needs in the sugar land area. read more

I tried a strawberry cupcake at the yellow rose derby bout and it was AWESOME! So yummy. The cupcakes taste so fresh and I could really get a real strawberry flavor.

Even though she was already booked for the day, she delivered cupcakes to my husband within hours of making the order. I'm amazed at the customer service! This was my first time ordering from here, but it won't be my last. Thank you so much for helping me raise his spirits on an otherwise terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. AND IN THE FLOODS EVEN!! Thank you is not enough to show how much I appreciate you. read more

It is so refreshing to find quality cupcakes that aren't slathered in inches of icing! I tried the snickerdoodle, wedding cake, and chocolate. The snickerdoodle and wedding cake were DELICIOUS. However, the chocolate on chocolate was a bit dry and tasteless.The frosting was great, but the cupcake needs a little bit of work. I will definitely be back for more! read more
