Cupcake Magician is an amazing bakery with the sweetest owners. I don't live in the area anymore, but whenever I'm back home and need a cake to celebrate a birthday, Cupcake Magician is my go-to place. The cakes are always delicious and beautifully decorated. Everyone who eats them always asks where they came from! A lot of times, birthday cakes taste like... well, birthday cakes--you know, the standard yellow cake with overly sweet, artificial-tasting frosting. But not these. These cakes taste homemade, fresh, and made with real love. I also can't wait to try their cupcakes--they look just as amazing! If you're in the Red Bank area, this is the place to go for any celebration or just to enjoy a delicious treat! read more

The owner couldn't be more charming and friendly. So many styles of cuppa cakes! I see coconut so I know what I shall get today! So delicious. Boston cream cuppa cake was also divine! Peanut butter and raspberry cheesecake cupcake is for tonight! Yummy!! Tidy and sweet! I like the photo of Frankie blue eyes Sinatra too!! What a lovely town!!! read more

Their cakes are magnificent! Not only do they create beautiful cakes and cupcakes, but the taste and texture is out of this world. It was a bit challenging to finalize my order this past August 2025 for my bridal shower, but they did a fantastic job with my main cake and the multiple cupcakes ordered. They also put it together fast as we encountered a few hiccups and almost canceled the bridal shower, but The Cupcake Magician delivered and saved the day for sure! The lemon cake with raspberry was our main cake and I can't describe how spectacular it was in every way possible! Thank you! I highly recommend them! If having any doubts, just don't anymore... place your order! read more

These cupcakes were beautiful and delicious! Exactly what I wanted!! I ordered these cupcakes about 2 weeks before my friends bridal shower. I spoke to John and he was super friendly & polite! Ordered regular cupcakes and a side of gluten free cupcakes (which were kept separate from the regular - amazing!). 11/10 will be ordering cupcakes from here again! read more

I called in a cake order less than 2 weeks before I needed it and the my were able to accommodate me and I was very happy. So the cake was beautiful, the buttercream was also really good. We ordered a Jersey Velvet for 4/7/24 since my sister was turning 16 and she loves this character. This is like my 4th cake in 4 years and I haven't had their jersey velvet, but I have had their red velvet and the chocolate cakes in the past. The Jersey velvet was a little light in flavor than I remember, but I also had it in a cupcake too, so that could make a difference. I still really like this bakery and I am always going on and on about their cannoli, chocolate dipped cannoli and their s'mores cupcakes! I have been going here since 2016 and intend to continue doing business together. read more

Amazing cupcakes my favorite is the cannoli cupcake but i may have tried more than my fair share of other flavors, the owner is amazing also so talented and creative the cakes she makes are art work read more

I ordered a Dallas cowboys cake for my boyfriends 50th birthday which I picked up Sunday. The reason I am giving 4 stars is because I received a call around 2pm saying we are only open til 3 and your pick up time is 4. Sorry the person who took your order must of made a mistake. I won't be here at 4. So I had to have someone else rush to go get it in a short amount of notice. Thank god they helped me out today and As someone who is very organized and scheduled this was disappointing when you rely the day of for a service and to be honest I was thrown off track for my party that night because of this and I ordered way in advance. So while I was trying to get balloons, gifts, party favors ready for the party my whole schedule changed which was super inconvenient for me. But mistakes happen and I was understanding. I was able to have someone pick it up before 315 and I am glad I had someone who was able to make it on time. Just some advice definitely confirm they will be open and make sure the business hours match your pick up time so your not thrown off as well. On the other hand I'm giving this 4 stars because the cake was absolutely delicious I received many compliments at the party and the way it was decorated was more than I anticipated. I was pleasantly surprised when I seen it. The chocolate mousse inside was delicious and the buttercream was the perfect sweetness and not overdone. As someone who normally doesn't like sweets or cake this made me take another bite. Everyone at the party even hard critics asked where I purchased this from. The second thing for Red bank Being usually very expensive this cake was very affordable for the amount of work and quality and quantity. I was expecting a higher quote for this cake. The pricing of this place is very low. My boyfriend was really surprised and loved it. So although I had a bad experience in the beginning I ended up getting a beautiful cake at a great price. I would order again all in all. Thanks cupcake. read more

I had high hopes for this place because it checked off all the boxes for a good spot. High ratings, great people, and solid looking product. One of the featured cupcakes was the bacon topped cupcake. What an interesting combo but unfortunately it wasn't for me. The peanut butter cupcake was better and had a little surprise inside with even more peanut butter. My wife ordered the red velvet cupcake as well. The cake part of all the cupcakes were moist and perfectly done. The issue I had was the frosting. It tasted like eating butter. There was something off with the balance of the frosting. The lady in there was really nice and the service as a whole was awesome. The cupcakes all looked great and the cake park was nicely done. I couldn't get over the fact that the frosting tasted like I was eating a stick of butter. I wish them the best! read more

I visited Cupcake Magician last week with some friends. The cute little storefront held so many different flavors of cupcakes. It was so hard to choose which flavors I wanted.

Drool. This place is amazing. Such a variety of flavors - and apparently they had even more pre-covid. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful. They have cupcakes with stuffing in the middle and without. They also have a selection of gluten free cupcakes. I tried the Caramel Apple and Raspberry Cream - both are unbelievably delicious. He had the peanut butter cup and Oreo and thoroughly enjoyed them. I plan to come back and try at least a dozen more. read more

I am gluten free and had the red velvet Cupcake. Holy cow! Like I could eat a million of them. The frosting was insane. YUM. Also. My husband who isn't gluten-free and ~doesn't like cupcakes~ LOVED this place. He specifically referred to the cream puff cupcake as "the best cupcake I've ever eaten In my whole life." read more

My girlfriend got me a few cupcakes from here for my birthday. She got a boston creme, cookies and cream and 2 plain funfetti cupcakes (my favorite) that she decorated for me because the only ones there had bright pink frosting haha. I ate a bit of the Boston Creme, it was ok basically a chocolate iced vanilla cupcake with a dollop of "creme" aka the best part. It needed a lot more of that to qualify as Boston Creme in my opinion. Cookies and Cream was solid and the funfetti wasn't bad. The cupcakes overall just didn't seem that fresh. Not sure I'd return. read more

RUN, don't walk to this cupcake shop!! I was searching Yelp for a bakery that had gluten free cakes/cupcakes and stumbled upon Cupcake Magician. In a pinch to find a dessert for a family member's birthday (who has a gluten allergy), I placed an order for a dozen cupcakes. I was able to place an order for 6 gf carrot cake cupcakes and 6 chocolate cupcakes. When I went to pick up the cupcakes, I also purchased 5 specialty, non-gluten free cupcakes. They looked too good to resist! I purchased the cannoli, raspberry truffle, black and white milkshake, cookie dough and strawberry shortcake. We had all the cupcakes the day after and they were FANTASTIC!! You wouldn't even know they were gluten free!! The carrot cake was definitely everyone's favorite but the chocolate was still very delicious. For individuals following a gluten free diet, the chocolate cake tastes just like a Devil Dog! The specialty flavors were also very delicious. I cannot wait to go back! read more

So disappointed. The cuPcakes look amazing and the staff was so friendly. But the cake was so dry. My cupcakes were so cold I couldn't enjoy it right away. I went home left them out to soften and tried one. And just not what I was hoping for. Cake was dry and crumbly. Really wish they weren't because I would love to give this place 5 stars. Sadly I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Best. Cake. Ever. Wow! Loved the goodnight moon cake they made for my son's 1st birthday. It tasted absolutely delicious- so moist & yummy and not overly sweet. They were also super nice & the cake was affordable too. Thank you so much! This will now be our go to spot to make his birthday cake each year read more

I went in looking to order a cake for a surprise party after The Flaky Tart closed, leaving us scrambling last minute! I sampled 3 flavors and landed on the tiramisu flavor cupcake. I ordered a 12 inch cake of this flavor and they delivered a massive and gorgeous cake. When you see a cake that size you worry about it being dry, but that was not the case. This cake was so moist and flavorful, and that marscapone filling- TO DIE FOR. Thank you for creating such delicious cakes!! We will definitely use them again :) read more

The Best cupcakes ever! Catering party makes a great impression with guests! Everyone Loved for my daughters graduation!

Came in here today just to get out of the sun but of course I peaked at the cupcake case and saw a Lemon cupcake with curd in the center. Well the curd did not taste like curd it was more pastry cream. None of it had much Lemon taste but by far as a regular vanilla cupcake it was fine. The other one that caught my eye was the Magical Unicorn cupcake. Funfetti cake, rainbow icing, glitter and pearls. The cake was a bit denser then the Lemon. Other then that they tasted very similar. The Unicorn and rainbows are so trendy right now for some weird reason but can't last that long. Kids will love the look of this one. Unfortunately the box got dropped on the ground and the picture is horrible. My apologies, the store did not pack these like that. They also have a few gluten free cupcakes. And all cupcakes are reasonably priced at $2.50 read more

My sister stopped by to check out Cupcake Magician. They happened to have gluten-free cupcakes ready to buy. She brought me this cupcake, and it was perfect! The icing is so light and smooth!

We went here today because I had a coupon for a free cupcake. My daughter acquired it from her school on her birthday (great way to get people in and then make them spend more) and we wound up buying two more. They were moist, creative, fresh and super yummy. We got the devil dog, the hot cocoa and the chocoloco?? The service was patient and friendly. The only con is the unicorn one was sold out and the parking in the area is difficult. read more

I work near another place that sells cupcakes and had to come here because it was closing with their weird hours. I am happy I did because my family enjoyed the cupcakes from here! Ordered the cannoli, mint frosting on chocolate cupcake, Mr. Plain, and Boston creme. Honestly it's one of the better cupcakes I've had in NJ. It's moist, the cupcake frosting isn't too thick, hard, or too sweet. The only cupcake that I wouldn't buy again is the cannoli. The filling isn't in the cake itself, is literally on top of the cupcake serving as the frosting. It was a little overwhelming as I felt like I was eating directly from the piping bag. I definitely would come here again! There are also gluten free and sugar free cupcakes here, but the varieties are limited. read more

I bought a couple cupcakes from Cupcake Magician a couple years ago, but I wasn't impressed. I thought the cake was so dry so I never went back. Last week someone I know was telling me how they love Cupcake Magician, and go there for their cupcakes so I decided to give them another try. I purchased three cupcakes a carrot cupcake, a cookie dough cupcake, and a peanut butter explosion cupcake. The cookie dough cupcake was too dry, and I didn't care for the frosting on that one at all. The peanut butter explosion cupcake had a delicious ganache frosting and the peanut butter filling was good, but the cake part was dry so I just ate the top part since I enjoyed the ganache. The carrot cake cupcake was moist, and I found that one to be good. The cake part to the cupcake tasted like it been in their refrigerated case too long. I'm use to going to bakeries that make their cupcakes in small batches like Sweet in Belmar and Sugarush in Red Bank so the cake is always moist because they make them fresh everyday. This bakery has a huge selection of cupcakes, and I came in 15 minutes before close. There was still somewhere around 70 cupcakes on its shelves so I doubt they tossed them all out and made fresh ones for the next day. So I'm guessing that's why two of the cupcakes I bought were dry. I say go to Sugarush in Red Bank were you are guaranteed moist cupcakes. I'll still give them another try since there are many good reviews. The cupcakes all in all were just ok to me. I would of really enjoyed the peanut butter explosion since the stuffing and ganache was delicious if the cake part wasn't dry. Hopefully, next time I'll have better luck here. read more

The cupcakes here are delicious. Each cupcake is $2 each, while some of the more popular flavors are $2.50 each. This place is pricey for a cupcake, not pricey compared to a meal. I loved the Jersey Velvet cupcake, the Red Velvet cupcake, and the Chocolate Chip cupcake. Their most popular flavors is the French toast. I didn't try it, but I tried the icing on my sister's, and it was delicious I normally dislike cupcakes because they are too sweet, but the icing on these cupcakes were perfect. They weren't too sweet and were moist enough to melt in my mouth. read more

I rather have a cupcake than an ice cream, especially from their gluten free case. What a treat! Someone who makes yummy gluten free cupcakes.

Whenever my friends and I would go to Red Bank, we usually swore by and stopped at Sugarush for cupcakes and would rave about it to everyone. When we went to Red Bank today, we found out that Sugarush closed down their storefront ops, and we looked for another cupcake place in the area and came across Cupcake Magician. WE HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT. Cupcake Magician is incredible, and their cupcakes are sooooo much better than Sugarush's. The cake was perfectly airy and not dense, and was moist, and the frosting was AMAZING. I can't believe I haven't heard of this place before! Definitely try it out if you're in the area. Their customer service is great, too. 10/10 would recommend read more

I was recently given these cupcakes as a birthday gift, and they were absolutely delicious! I am gluten free and it's tough to find desserts that measure up, but Cupcake Magician's gluten free cupcakes were so good. I had a variety, but my favorite was just the traditional chocolate cake and vanilla buttercream icing. The owner was extremely knowledgeable of gluten free diets and took great care when my boyfriend inquired about it. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning! read more

I walked in, ordered 6 cupcakes, and then realized I didn't have enough cash on me. The gentleman who assisted me said "Oh, just come back with the cash later."; he didn't even take the few dollars I offered. I did return to pay shortly afterward. The feeling of being trusted (I'm a woman of color and trust me, WE"VE been through a few things!!) and treated so nicely left a HUGE impression. read more
