Recently visited downtown Moorestown to grab a quick dessert bc of a sweet tooth. I popped into Cupcake Carnivale and was greeted by a gentleman who was very warm and attentive. He let me to peruse the options before I made some decisions. I went with two Bob Kelly cupcakes, one strawberry crunch, one peanut butter and chocolate cupcake and another chocolate ganache cupcake. I can't remember the last flavor, but I do recall the gentleman saying if I ordered six cupcakes there would be a discount. So, I know I grabbed 6. The prices were reasonable and I was happy with the pleasant experience. I left and ran to my car so I could try the chocolate ganache. Let's just say it was gone before I made it home. The chocolate was delicious and the cupcake itself was fluffy, sweet (not overpowering) and delectable. We finished the rest of the cupcakes over the weekend and loved each one we tried. I will definitely stop by again during my next downtime Moorestown adventure. read more

This cute lil shop on Main Street always caught my eye & we had to finally check it out. The store itself is small, no seating on the inside. We sat outside under the warm sun to try our tasty treats. The display case itself hade maybe like a dozen different flavors, most were common & some were not. We went when the MLB playoffs were happening & learned our baker was a Yankees fan. We bought 4 different flavors, all of which were tasty. You could tell that the cupcakes we had gotten were from the night before b/c they were still very cold, maybe even frozen. Icing was good, not overly sweet. WOuld have preferred to pick other flavors there (like Cookies & cream) but the flavors we picked were the ones available. Price for the cupcakes is comparable to other "cupcakeries". I definitely want to return to try a cookies & cream flavor profile & other flavors too. Otherwise the overall rating is good! read more

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Cupcake Carnivale. The owner was so friendly and explained pricing and flavors to us in great detail. He was all by himself making cupcakes, ringing up orders... he was really busting his hump! The cupcakes were very tasty as well and he even informed us that they were in a refrigerated case and would be best if left to come to room temp for 15 mins (he was right). I would much rather spend my money at a small business where someone is working hard to deliver great products than a chain where it's just mediocre at best. read more

I had stopped in to pick up some cupcakes for a Halloween event that night. The owner Jeff was a really nice guy. I saw the cakes and I was amazed at the time and detail put into each flavor and how they were decorated. Very talented and a great flavored cupcake. read more

Spotless small business with delicious baked goods and friendly staff. Their cupcake flavors are unique, and the shop is located on the very cute Main Street in Moorestown. I highly recommend their banana pudding, which has special flavors that rotate per week. Check out their FB page for each week's flavors. read more

Being new to the area, my wife and I walked along Main Street in Moorestown to see what businesses, and restaurants, there were. We happened to venture into the Cupcake Carnivale. Pleased with the appearance of the goods offered, we tried a few. It was a pleasant experience as we enjoyed our samples. Since then (only 2 weeks later) we have visited Jeffery several times and enjoy his tarts and cupcakes each night for desert. While the shop is small, the smell of freshly baked cupcakes will keep you coming back again and again. Jeffery is very pleasant to talk to, and will make you feel welcome each time you visit. We strongly recommend Cupcake Carnivale. read more

The owner is very nice love this spot for cupcakes on Main Street would recommend. The

Yummy cupcakes, moist and lots of fun flavors. Definitely worth a visit! We got cookie butter, Oreo, Boston cream! Triple chocolate, carrot cake. All delicious. read more

Sooooo good. I don't have any pics to include cause we ate those cupcakes so fast. My husband and I saw the truck at a food truck fest. Despite the crowd and popularity the service was quick and easy. Our favorites were the Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Highly recommend 10/10! read more

I first heard of this place when they came out to a work event that we had. I came by the store today but it was late on a Sunday and the clerk said there wasn't much left. Obviously there wasn't much left of the selections they had listed online, but I was able to find some things I was curious to try. read more

Second time here both times the cupcakes were excellent. I would recommend letting them sit out for about a half hour before you eat them, I know they tell you 15 to 20 minutes, but I like mine a little more room temperature. I feel like people are hating on the cupcakes for being cold, just let them sit longer and you want have an issue. I really like the adult style cupcakes that they had this time: margarita and pina colada, nice change of pace. Last time I was here they had a banana peanut butter pudding cup which was awesome. I like that there are tons of different options and that they are always mixing things up. The music, the staff, the atmosphere, the cozy little spot on main street in Moorestown.. It's great. Check them out. They did an excellent job with our call ahead larger order. Everything was great! read more

I like to start off by saying these are the best ever. They are fresh, moist, always a great variety to choice from and they are fabulous. Also the customer service is great as well. They are so polite and make you feel right at home. Thank you for making such wonderful cupcakes read more

I went to Cupcake Carnival in Moorestown! Wow their cupcakes are so delicious. I tried out a couple different options. I'm a huge fan of their cream filled cupcakes. We also tried their apple pie, it was delicious too. My favorite is the peanut butter and jelly cookie!! I highly recommend getting the cookie. It's a bit pricey, but great baked goods. read more

I loveeeee Jeff and the cupcake carnivale. Best cupcakes ever! Banana pudding is to die for, don't miss out on this adorable shop.

My wife and daughter love their cupcakes. I'm in love with the banana creme pudding The owner either in the food truck or in the store always has time to talk to the customers We just left after having an almost 10 minute convo This poor guy never sleeps. Keep up the good work sir read more

This food truck was set up at a family event. However-you could NOT purchase ONE cupcake. You had to buy FOUR for $16 -------------no less!! I never heard of such a crazy idea!!! Are these people interested in running a successful business??? AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

There are a lot of food trucks, especially desserts around but Cupcake Carnivale remains my favorite. Recently I tried the red velvet, Oreo, strawberry lemonade, and cotton candy and all four were perfectly. I will say the cotton candy was one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. In fact, I wish Cupcake Carnivale had catered my wedding (and so did my husband!). All four were perfect. They each had a lot of frosting as well as the cake was baked well. Not only that, but the owner, Jeff is extremely friendly and passionate about his business. You can guarantee when Cupcake Carnivale comes to my area, I try and get there. I'll go every time. read more

Cupcake Carnivale - Red velvet, strawberry lemonade, cotton candy and Oreo. All perfect and I recommend. - Food Trucks Near Me - Moorestown, New Jersey

We had a poor experience. The cupcakes tasted like they had freezer burn and the guy we spoke to (assuming it's the owner) was not friendly and not helpful whatsoever. It was like we were bothering him with the questions we asked. read more

If you want an exquisitely delicious cupcake, try one of Cupcake Carnivale's. I bought four yesterday afternoon and just tried the chocolate mint. It was fresh and definitely has a chocolate mint flavor. The cake was moist, not underdone, just baked to perfection and the frosting was creamy and luscious. They also have flavors like Boston Cream, Red Velvet, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Birthday Cake, Blueberry Cream Cheese, and others. You may want to call and check with them on opening and closing times as they, like many small businesses, are short-staffed. They opened at 3:00 pm when I stopped by as they were setting up the refrigerator case which he was doing but managed to help me at the same time. Help support a small business and stop in. You will not be disappointed. I also wanted to add that I am a good baker and definitely know the difference in ingredients. The review that compared them to Shoprite cupcakes is definitely untrue! it is obvious he uses butter and top-notch ingredients in the frosting and cupcake. The prices are comparable to Whole Foods Bakery, which is reasonable for quality cupcakes and these are better. Anyone who thinks they are over frosted or too sweet is probably not an aficionado of dessert. I think Whoopie Pies and S'Mores are sickeningly sweet and these are not. read more

Not sure why some of these reviews are less than perfect. All I can say is that people are human and make mistakes. Regardless, in these times, please support small businesses. If you had a problem with service or product, please give Jeff or the staff a chance to make it right. One bad experience should not be a reason to give anyone one star. Give businesses a break! Stress is high right now. No excuse for bad service, I know, but I can tell you based on my experience and CC's several awards that this bakery is top notch. The ingredients are always fresh and always authentic. Customers rant and rave about Cupcake Carnival!! Most of my high school classmates have no problem making the long haul down south just to eat cupcakes made from the highest quality ingredients. Don't take "Karen's" word for it. Try them for yourselves. You won't be disappointed. read more

Fantastic cupcakes!!!! My favorite by far is the heath bar cupcake which has a heath bar crunchy coating for the topping and a delicious, moist chocolate cupcake. They change up their offerings weekly, but they always offer the vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. Either one is a good choice as well. Other favorites include the red velvet with cream cheese icing, the pumpkin flavored, and the apple cider cupcake. If you buy 6 you get 1 free. If you by 12 you get 2 free.They range around $2.75-$3.25, and while they're not huge, I think they're worth the price as a nice splurge. Join their facebook group so that you can check when they will be in your area (usually either Drexel University area or Community College/Spring Garden area). They also travel around to events and you can book them for parties and such. The owner is really sweet and remembers me whenever I drop by, which is always nice. Try a cupcake or 3! read more

Cupcakes were great for people with a very sweet tooth. The cupcakes were moist and had great flavors. Just a little too sweet for my liking. The price was okay I guess to for gourmet cupcakes. I'd give this place a second try and maybe get different flavors read more

Very nice staff however the product was a miss. The cupcakes had a nice presentation but the flavor was off. The cake seemed like the batter wasn't well mixed as it had inconsistencies throughout the cupcake. One bite tasted like corn bread and the next bite tasted like cake. The flavor profile of the frosting was also a bit off. I couldn't tell what the flavor was meant to taste like; it just wasn't well executed. I don't think I would be willing to try any again as the price is a bit much for the quality. read more

So I initially came across pictures of their cupcakes on Twitter and I was desperate to try them. Whoever takes their pictures does an amazinggg job. Since this is a truck on the move, I waited patiently for them to come to Philadelphia. They are really good about advertising where they'll be. Finally, one evening I found out they would be located by the Art Museum. They had about 6-8 flavors that night and 1 cupcake was $4, but you could also buy a 4 pack for $15. So having waited to try these cupcakes I was salivating over via a picture I thought they were pretty good. The frosting was tasty and not too sweet and they had a nice crown. Let's say they're better than average but I wouldn't say best I've ever had. read more

Amazeballs. Best cupcakes in all of the tri-state area. The wait is worth it. Everything is made from scratch.

My friend has been following this food truck on social media waiting for the chance to go for a while now. I'm honestly not a big fan of cupcakes but don't say no to trying desserts! I would say these cupcakes are super fun. Between the bright colored icing, the fun designs, the toppings, it makes your eyes light up. There's a good ratio of icing to cake, which tends to be a problem with a lot of cupcakes. Now the icing was pretty good, not too sweet but you can taste the flavor. The actual cake part didn't impress me at all. The chocolate cake didn't pop with flavor and the texture could've been a little denser. read more

Awesome cup cakes made with ingenuity, pride and love. Jeffrey is creative and very dedicated to his craft and his customers.

Stopped in on way my way through town to treat myself to some birthday cupcakes. I had never been in. The counter person was friendly and warm and answered all of our questions. The owner came out and chatted us up for a bit two. We felt so welcome! The cupcakes were some of the beef I've had. The frosting is sweet and buttery and my mouth is watering just typing this. Definitely check them out! read more

I'm a self proclaimed cupcake snob, I would expect a cupcake shop to have the most moist and delicious cupcakes homemade fresh cupcakes with attention to details when icing. These cupcakes looked like the just quickly massed iced them visually sloppy, as far as flavor not fresh and the flavor was comparable to hotel box mix. I get the whole employee issue but that excuse is getting overplayed. Save your money and time just head to Egg Harbor City to SIMPLY SWEET CUPCAKES! Cupcake wars winner if you wanna spend your hard earned money read more

The best cupcakes my wife and I ever had. The owner is very creative. Worth the drive to get my sugar fix!

This place is my addiction! I like to try the different cupcakes and I'm never disappointed. Everyone is so pleasant and you're greeted warmly. read more

Delicious, destination-worthy cupcakes. Reasonably priced. Creative flavors. We loved the Biscoff-Vanilla cupcake; the Vanilla-Peanut Butter (there's also a chocolate version); Boston Cream Cupcake; and Blueberry Pancake Cupcake with cream cheese frosting. Most have buttercream -- and it's perfect. Not too sweet, not too buttery, just right. We had to tame ourselves to only buy 4 but now have an excuse to return. We were visiting family for lunch on the charming Main Street of this cute, historic town but would head here again even if we had no other draw. So many dining choices up and down the street... but eat light so you can come here for your dessert. (Table out front and another indoors to eat on the spot, if you like.) Upbeat, enthusiastic, cupcake-loving staff were a pleasure to interact with. Pink pastry boxes with card-board cupcake supports make for safe transport and attractive gifting. read more

Okay so the cupcakes are phenomenal. The cake is moist and the icing is perfectly sweet. This year for Thanksgiving my mom got our desserts from here. Best decision ever. I NEVER liked pumpkin pie before in my life, this one was so delicious and fresh. The maple whipped cream was a perfect touch. We also got the apple crisp, another delicious dessert. The Apple cider cupcakes (I believe that's what the flavor was called) were amazingggg! I already can't wait for next thanksgiving Thank you so much for all the delicious flavors, these desserts never disappoint. read more

The absolute worst service I have witnessed in a long time. I went in to the Cupcake Carnival a few days back and ordered a 12 pack of cupcakes. The young women at the front looked terrified when what I assumed to be the owner came up behind her and practically slapped her hand out of the way. He was incredibly rude to me when I had simply switched my order around a couple of times. The cupcakes themselves were decent but based off of the experience with the man working there, I can not say that I will return to this spot. read more

Tried 3 different cupcakes here. The best was the basic vanilla. The cupcakes were good, but nothing special. At $3.50 each when I bought them at Love Park, you can find better cupcakes cheaper elsewhere. But if you are craving sweets and you see this truck it will satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

I went into Cupcake Carnivale for the first time the other day and I had a great experience! Jeffrey was so helpful and answered all my questions. I got a few cupcakes and LOVED them! The cake was so moist and the icing was so rich on them. Nothing that I could ever bake at home! I recommend to everyone looking for a great cupcake!!!! read more

Back in Philly on a business trip! Picked up some cupcakes for a few clients and discovered a great place!! Cupcake Carnivale. Awesome! The service was great - If you're in the area you definitely have to try them, the heath bar crunch are my favorite but you have to try the red velvet. I cant wait to go back and try the other varieties. read more

My first time there and I got the banana-oreo- peanut butter pudding. It was the most amazing, fantastic, yummy, homemade tasting treat! If the cupcakes are anything like this pudding they have to be the best cupcakes ever. Cant wait to try a cupcake and get some more of this pudding! read more

I wasn't impressed. I'm fact my cupcakes tastes way better. They were dry with lots of icing to compensate for the flavorless thing

Yummm. Really good product. However, I was somewhat turned off by Jeffrey's response to Harriett T. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, especially in today's world of social media. I think he should have 'bitten his tongue' and just acknowledge and thank her for her input. Maybe selling one cupcake at a higher price might help further spread the word of how his cupcakes are so wonderful. read more
