    I ended up at Cupcake Magic after a day of fruit picking. My friend wanted vegan cupcakes and heard Cupcake Magic made some bomb cupcakes and other tasty treats. We walk in and are greeted by an older couple who, I assume are the owners of this little cute establishment. The first thing I noticed is how visually beautiful the cupcakes and the many other desserts looked. I'm not into vegan cupcakes and asked if they offered non vegan options! Thanks goodness they do! I was eyeballing the Carrot cupcakes, however I do not like raisin in Carrot anything. Luckily, for me the owner doesn't put raisins in the Cupcake! I ordered 2 Carrot and 2 Red Velvet Cupcakes. The owner tells us her best selling cupcakes. I must have great taste. #1 is Red Velvet #2 is Snickerdoodle and #3 Carrot. Yum! I couldn't wait to get home to try them. The Red Velvet was damn good! That Carrot though... Sweet goodness, that was a very moist flavorful tasty treat and that cream cheese frosting is so creamy and not too sweet and the right texture. I wish Cupcake Magic were closer to me. They not only have Vegan options,but Gluten free and Sugar free! There is a No Refund Policy!!! on all orders and purchase, but instead Store Credit.

    Purchased 25 total cupcakes for my daughter's birthday celebration. The work was so sloppy as if it was thrown together last minute. They were not neat and edges were all uneven. They were extremely heavy and beyond dense. The hope would be that they would at the very least just be neat and generic like the regular grocery store cupcakes. I addressed this with a manager at the store when I called and received a generic response that it may simply be my standards. I then text photos to him per request and did not get any response back at all. Both customer service AND quality is lacking. So disappointed. Would recommend just purchasing from a regular grocery store to help save money ($3/cupcake) and spare the disappointment.

    Will definitely be going back there in the future for my all my birthday cake needs. Everyone I spoke with was so kind and helpful. The pricing on the two cakes was awesome and they were delicious! I am not a buttercream person but I loved it! Thank you guys so much I can't wait to do business with you again! You made my babygirls day special

    This place sure stands up to its name! We came in here because we were in the area and wanted to check out some cupcakes and was so glad we did. As we walked in we were instantly greeted by a nice lady behind the counter with a big smile on her face. The first thing I noticed is there was only 1 customer sitting down inside and was automatically thinking twice about why he was the only customer here. I'm glad that didn't stop me from checking out a couple cupcakes to take back home and try. They had so many different kinds to choose from it took me a couple minutes to decide, not to mention they even make vegan cupcakes. Apparently their delicious too! After getting home and trying my first bite of the red velvet, I was in cup cake heaven! It was so moist and delicious all the way through. It was like they really made magic happen with these cupcakes! I was wishing I had gotten a dozen because even the carrot cake one was so yummy! Now every time I am in the area I'm going to have to come back for more.

    Beautiful baby shower cake

    Thank you for the beautiful and very yummy cake for my daughters baby shower. This was in 2018 but I lost my photos and finally found one to post. We still have some of the live succulents that you used.

    I gave a picture of what I wanted from Pinterest and she NAILED it! Everybody was raving about it at the gender reveal party. It was soooo beautiful I hated to cut it :) it was just as delicious as it was beautiful. I will use Cupcake Magic for all of our parties!

    I've been coming to Cupcake magic for years.. haven't been in a couple years though. After reading the recent reviews, I was a little worried that the food had gone downhill. Not at all!! We went this morning and it was as good as I have always remembered! New owners seem really nice. I gave 4 stars because of a few things I noticed.. employees were using the inside tables to make chocolate covered treats and it left no seating for customers. :( And we came an hour after opening and they were still putting cupcakes out, personal opinion-it should be ready by opening. Otherwise a good visit!

    Birthday cupcake delivery
    William B.

    I received a dozen cupcakes from Cupcake Magic as a birthday gift from my parents, who live on the other side of the country. It was a complete surprise and I was out at the time, but the woman who called me politely asked a time that would be good to deliver the cupcakes. The man who dropped them off advised me that if I didn't finish them I could freeze them to preserve them better. He was extremely friendly, and my parents said that the staff was also very nice when they were placing the order, even making suggestions on which ones to get. The cupcakes themselves were delicious. The peanut butter, with rich peanut butter cake and a whole peanut butter cup baked in, sticks out in my my mind as a favorite. But the orange creamsicle and mocha flavored ones were also superb. The frosting is rich, but not sickeningly sweet and the cakes, as others have mentioned, are dense. None of the cupcakes were dry, as others have mentioned, but as days pass they do become somewhat drier. This is expected of any fresh baked food, though, as there are no preservatives. The solution is to eat them all or share them with others! Check them out!

    Peanut Butter & Jelly

    The first time that I discovered that Yuba CIty had a little cupcake bakery, I must tell you, I was ecstatic! I have a thing for sweets, in general and cupcakes are as good as it gets. I mean, a portable cake, when a fork isn't (usually) needed? Hell ya! I know I sound like a total fatty but don't hate. When I accidentally came across Cupcake Magic, it was when we coming to dinner at Sopa Thai right next door, it was closed. :( But fear not, I made sure i went soon after. And boy, was I pleasantly surprised. Tami and Laurie (the mother and daughter team who own this little shop) are fantastic people. Tami is usually the one that I see, the few times I have visited; but she has been nothing but the sweetest lady. I have tried several of their cupcakes, including some of their seasonal/monthly specials, and I have yet to be disappointed. The cupcakes, yes are a bit heavier than your average cupcake but I have yet to have a dry cupcake like some previous reviewers have mentioned. Every time I go, it seems like the cupcakes just keep getting better. Tami comes up with such great flavor ideas. Also, they make MINI versions of many of the flavors (for $1-2) so you can try some of the flavors. The Pink Champagne started to be one of my favorites, I loved the addition of Pop Rocks sprinkled on top of the frosting, but as I've continued to try more flavors, I continue to change my favorite. The Black and White is a great traditional flavor, as is the Coconut. During the summer, they had a Banana Split flavor that tasted just like a banana split in cupcake form! I also thoroughly enjoyed the Peanut Butter & Jelly Flavor. All the fruit flavors are amazing as well, Lemon, Blackberry, Strawberry, Orange, Ginger Peach, Tropical Sunrise, you name it, it's great. The only 2 flavors that weren't MY personal favorites have been the Snickerdoodle (no frosting, which is my favorite part) and the Guinness with Stout frosting (But I don't really like Guinness, or Stout) lol. My favorite (right now) has to be the Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcake. I mean come on, salted caramel with actual bits of Sea Salt throughout the cupcake and and frosting; they were like little crunchy gems. When I enjoy a cupcake, I personally like to twist off the bottom part and eat that first. and then enjoy the last little bit of cake with that mountain of deliciously rich frosting. And you know what, they twist off perfectly! Unlike that famous Sacramento-Roseville cupcake chain that everyone seems to love (*cough Icing On the Cupcake I'm talking about you *cough) the cupcakes do NOT crumble all over the place! Cupcake Magic not only sells cupcakes, they sell other yummy confections such as Chocolate Covered Bacon, both milk and dark; chocolated covered pretzel sticks, chocolate covered strawberries, cake pops, etc. I love Cupcake Magic and I only wish that they were closer, now that we no longer live in Yuba City

    The cupcake and their specially made lettering just for me!

    I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. I've visited many times and have gotten excellent service and cupcakes each time. The owner is such a delight to talk to and does her best to accommodate your needs and wants. One visit I'd like to point out is when I came in for one of their giant cupcakes. I preordered it in their Oreo flavor. It was for my husband's homecoming. They told me they didn't have any decorations specifically for that occasion but would think of something. The thought that they were willing to make it extra special for me even when they didn't have the supplies was a very nice gesture that I welcomed gladly. Coming in to pick it up, I didn't know what to expect and kind of expected for them to say they didn't go through with anything. But lo and behold the words "Welcome Home" in chocolate delicately placed on the cupcake. It was perfect. I was more than satisfied with the whole process, their customer service, and the cupcake. My husband certainly enjoyed his favorite flavor in giant form as well. I look forward to continually enjoying their cupcakes and creations and would have to say that you must try the bacon maple cupcake as it's the best one we have tasted yet.

    The peanut butter chocolate chip cupcake was very dry and not very flavorful. The price should match the quality of the cupcake.

The lemon blondie was also very big and was more on the sweeter side than the tart side which is not my preference but my other coworkers liked it.
