Date of visit: August 9, 2023 We spotted this little shop on our walk over to the Peabody Hotel to check out the ducks and made a point to swing back through on the way back to our hotel and are glad that we did. The cupcakes are essentially Build Your Own. Select your base (strawberry, lemon, vanilla, etc.) and then pick your icing (peanut butter, chocolate, so on and so forth), and then a topping such as peanut butter chips or coconut. I would have appreciated a little better signage for the toppings and icings, but the price for these was not bad and best of all, the cupcakes were very good. I went with a vanilla cupcake, covered in peanut butter icing and topped with peanut butter chips. Seemed like I got the last of the chips so my timing was good! read more

We stumbled upon this gem walking around Memphis and we are so glad that we did. They had a large sign outdoors so we immediately knew we were walking in to cupcakes. It smelled so good when we walked in. We took a minute to just look around. They have a basket ball game in the entrance much like something you'll see at the fair or chuckie cheese, so that was cool. On to the cupcakes. We ordered two vanilla cupcakes. Butter cream and cream cheese icing. The cupcakes are pretty big and they were extremely fresh. Sometimes cupcakes can taste too thick but these were fluffy and tasted like they were homemade. You can also add toppings. I like mine plain but the gentleman added some sprinkles for a nice touch. The service was great as well. They've been open for about a year. Def be back. read more

Nice dessert spot! I like how one can decorate their own cupcake, and how there's a special cupcake flavor for the week offered along with the other, standard flavors (chocolate, vanilla, etc.) There's a ton of toppings to work with; if you're not looking to pay full price, there are day-old cupcakes offered at a discount to use. Other desserts are also offered, such as cheesecake and brownies. I absolutely loved my large brownie - it tasted homemade, which is how it should be, haha. A surprise was how friendly the service was. There's a big sense of pride that the the owner had for the bakery, and it comes through in every sense, from the ambiance to the desserts. read more

Stopped in on our downtown stroll. My friends just had to get a funnel cake. Mask required for entry which we happily obliged. Despite the drizzle, there were a stead flowing customers. I chose the lemon and a strawberry cupcake. Service was quick and hassle free. I was able to use tap and pay without issue. We sat and ate. Staff engaged with customers which is a plus for me. Readonly priced items that taste amazing. read more

I am so excited to see this place move to a new location! We have been here often and most recently they donated a lot of cupcakes to teachers of Shelby County Schools during Teacher Appreciation! I recognized the sparkles This place specializes in build-your-own cupcakes. You can mix and match any base flavor with any cream and top it with a number of fun toppings. My favorite base is the strawberry one and the pineapple one because they have little bits of their respective fruit mixed into the batter and it's always a delight when I get a bite of one.   They will add sparkles, color, and chocolate or caramel syrup for free. The sparkles are really popular with the people I have brought with me to visit. The large comes with one free topping, otherwise all toppings are .50 each. They have a rack to the side of discount cupcakes you can buy. They're on sale because they were made the previous day. I usually check what they have there first. Oh, don't forget to come in on your birthday for a free cupcake!

We were so exciting after our first visit and our first Cupcake Cutie cupcake that we planned to celebrate our last night in Memphis with a cupcake. We have our own electric scooter that we use to travel around the cities we travel to. They fold down and we haven't ever had a problem sitting them next to the wall inside any place we have visited. They don't take up much space. Unfortunately, we did not have this experience at Cupcake Cutie. I walked in pushing my scooter - so excited to get in line and select which cupcake we would enjoy. My boyfriend had already folded his scooter and was carrying it behind me. My excitement dwindled when the guy behind the counter yelled very aggressively stating that we were not allowed to have our scooters in the store and we needed to put them outside. I politely explained that they were our scooters and they were not cheap so we did not feel comfortable leaving them on the street. He very aggressively stated again that we needed to put them outside. We ended up just leaving as we did not want to support a business that not only did not respect our personal property, but would treat their customer in such a rude manner. I would not go back to this establishment. read more

Great concept. You select the cake from 2 different sizes and from about 6 or so basic flavors. Then you choose the icing and the topping. Decent late hours. Parking is tough around there. Hopefully you walk into this establishment. Cake wasn't as moist as I would have liked, but I cannot complain. read more

We were walking by after a day at the Civil Rights Museum, and the owner was out front grilling, and invited us in. My wife and I loved the cupcakes. She had a strawberry cake with lemon icing and gold glitter. I had the Oreo cupcake with butter crepe icing and black&white chocolate chips. The cake was perfect: moist without being clumpy, fluffy without being dry. And the butter creme icing hit every pleasure nerve in my brain! I can't wait to go back to Memphis just for more of these cupcakes!!! read more

Cute little shop!! The cupcakes are heavenly!! So many flavors and toppings!! Don't sleep on the cupcake shake, it's my favorite indulgence from this place! In the summer, there's outdoor seating and year round there are board games to keep you hanging around. The owner and his dad are kind and friendly! read more

Absolutely amazing cupcakes, they are of course made fresh EVERY day, and you pick everything , and I do mean everything. First you have an assortment of cake flavors at your fingertips, then comes the hard part, picking your icing, only to be followed by a candy store worthy array of dressings to finish off your very own masterpiece. Don't walk here, run.... This is truly a place you will love to visit, again, and again. read more

First I'll like to start by congratulating the owners of this cupcake shop and much success. This was a pleasant find while walking in the area. Nice decor on the inside and very welcoming by the owners themselves. Now on to the cupcakes, I ordered two 1 chocolate (plain no frosting) and 1 French Vanilla with frosting. Both were equally good and extremely moist and fresh. Only one concern and that's price points, I don't often buy cupcakes so I'm not familiar, but I thought 2 cupcakes for $10.93 was a little expensive. But hey what the hell do I know...right....Godspeed to you guys.... read more

Wow! Just stopped in because they flagged us in off the sidewalk and couldn't be happier! They are so friendly and this is such a smart concept, basically a build your own cupcake bar.... but the cupcakes are REALLY good. I've had lots of cupcakes, and these stand out. The cupcake is fluffy and moist and the flavor stands up, isn't drowned out by the icing. The icing is sweet but not too sweet, perfect! Way to go guys! So glad you flagged us in, we will come again! read more

I was in Memphis yesterday for my birthday. Was just walking by, and a sign said cupcakes caught my eyes. A pleasant gentleman said we have cinnamon buns as well. So I went into this cute little bakery, and fail in love. With being able to build my own cupcakes, to the BEST cinnamon bun AKA sinabun & brownies I've ever eaten. So now I'm back home in North Carolina, trying to figure out, how often I can go to Memphis just to get a cinnamon bun and brownies. Not only was the food good, but the customer service received from the owners was absolutely amazing felt like eating dessert with your family. I definitely will be coming back to Memphis and coming to cupcake cutie. read more

This location is located in the main/downtown Memphis area. It was odd as I walked up and a barbecue grill was in front of the entrance. There were 2 nice gentlemen selling smoked sausage. I looked up at the sign to confirm I was at the cupcake place. I was indeed at the right address. I walked in to an establishment with character, modern, cozy happy decor, very clean and welcoming ambience. A nice gentlemen greeted us when we reached the counter. He explained the concept of the ordering process. The owner came out from the back. I asked which cupcake is your number 1 seller? The owners response was all cupcakes are a number one seller here. I was trying to purchase the recommended flavor. I ordered the Strawberry Cupcake with half buttercream and half Lemon Icing. The owner suggested lemon icing on Strawberry Cupcake. I didn't care for the Strawberry Cupcake at all do to the lack of moisture. The owner asked how was it and I told him I like moist melt in your mouth cake. Cakes that you can smell the butter and smell the flavor. He advise me that the strawberry is baked with fresh fruit which causes the cupcake to loose it moisture. Most strawberry cakes only has bits of Strawberry but his has a lot as well as the cupcake is battered pure red. The cream cheese icing was delicious and the lemon icing was over powering the strawberry cupcake. The owner suggested I try the plain vanilla with vanilla icing. He suggestion was great. This cupcake was moist, soft and melt in your mouth like cotton cady. It had high rise in from but a pillow soft in texture. Flavors was sweet not overpowering simple and elegant taste similar to a traditional wedding cake. I didn't get pixture of the strawberry as I trashed the cupscake and the delicious Vanila I ate to fast!! I will return but make sure everyone knows soft cakes for me only. 4 starts for location, tenacity, honest, flavor or vanilla, the exceeding customer service, and friendly. read more

This establishment is permanently closed. We walked to it and the store is completely empty.

Found a gem in downtown Memphis. Just taking a stroll through downtown on South Main St. and there it was. The family is super nice and the cupcakes are awesome. Also, there's some good tunes playing, some nice games on the tables (checkers, connect four, uno, etc...). You can customize your cupcake which my wife thought was pretty stressful and awesome at the same time but the employees are there to help you make your decision. Also you have to try the cake shakes!!!! read more

Stopped in yesterday after having dinner. We have time before our Orpheum show. The shop is very cute and the counter person was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got two pieces of cheesecake.

My Nashville granddaughters and I were exploring South Main on a Sunday afternoon and discovered Cupcake Cutie Etc. Even though we just left a restaurant too full to order dessert, we found ourselves drawn into Cupcake Cutie! You get to choose the type of cake you want: vanilla, chocolate, & red velvet are what I can recall. Then, you select your icing and toppings, kinda like an ice cream or frozen yogurt place. The kids loved it to say the least. We ordered one for their older brother, who wasn't included in our "girls" outing. His sister him a chocolate cupcake, cream cheese frosting, peanut butter morsels, and sliced almonds. Well, he forgot it to bring it with him on the trip home. Grandpa and I really enjoyed every bite! If I know my girls, this will be a "must-go-to" for their future visits. I hope so! BYW, the cupcakes are really big and absolutely fresh! And, they have ice cream, too! read more
