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!

Dallas cowboys cake
Nicole C.

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.

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!

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. In the end I chose the Salted Caramel chocolate cupcake . It was scrumptious. My friends had a few other flavors and enjoyed them as well!

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.

The cake came out so cute and was a hit with everyone ! Not a crumb left over. Definitely one of the best in the area

Cupcake cake that honors the flag of my daughter in law's home country of Argentina.

Great service on short notice for a custom cake for my baby shower. The designer was most accommodating. And the cupcakes were delicious.

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.

Gluten free carrot cake and chocolate cupcakes.

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!

I enjoy supporting local businesses and am very happy to endorse cupcake magician. They're a gem tucked away in red bank and offer so many delicious cupcake flavors. I ordered a half dozen and really enjoyed the oreo, cappuccino and red velvet ones. If you're looking for good cupcakes I definitely recommend checking out Cupcake Magician.

Cupcake Magician catered dessert for my daughter's baby shower. I have never had so many guests ask "Where did you get these cupcakes? They're amazing!" They truly are amazing, incredible, and WOW! And on top of that, John and his staff are just as amazing to work with. Thank you, John, so much for being "the icing on the cake" of our celebratcupcake

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

I stumbled onto Suzi Cakes after having to pivot unexpectedly from a bad experience trying to order…read morefrom a local (new) bakery. Suzi Cakes could not have been nicer or more accommodating with just 2 weeks notice. The communication was so simple, professional, and pleasant. They delivered the cake exactly when they said (in the pouring rain) and even placed the topper and flowers on it before leaving! And then the cake itself...oh my yum! We did Vanilla with Oreo Mousse filling and it was DELICIOUS. The cake was so soft, fluffy, and flavorful. And the filling was awesome! I know I've found my new bakery for future events!!! Thank you Suzi Cakes!

Edit: To answer the owner's comments, we gave some the cake away to a relative, hoping they would…read moreenjoy it more than we did. They ended up not enjoying it, so that's why there's some missing and none of us wanted to eat it anymore! Spoke to Suzi when picking up the cake and explained to her that the cake would not be eaten on the day of, but instead two days later. The cake was for September 1st and that happened to be Labor Day so I had to pick it up earlier! She said, "That's fine," and it can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and in the freezer for up to three months. So, not sure why there's a sense of judgement, cakes should be able to be stored for longer periods of time! And we wanted to order from a bakery specifically, since it was a special occasion. Not sure what your reference to a "squished" cake has to do with it food will accumulate residue in containers overtime! 9/12/25 From seeing professional pictures online of the beautiful cakes on Google Reviews of Suzi Cakes and good reviews on Yelp, I genuinely thought that the red velvet cake I ordered over the phone with Suzi would be amazing. Boy, was I wrong. I had to throw out the cake after 6 days because no one wanted to eat it anymore. We gave some part of the cake away to a relative, so we didn't consume much...not sure if they enjoyed it either. There were 'red' flags that I noticed when placing an order with Suzi. I chose to ignore them because I needed a nicely catered cake for my sister's birthday. Suzi sounded very direct over the phone and sometimes dismissive, so I felt that I needed to truly know and prepare for how I wanted my cake each time I called. I could not go in person to explain or show pictures due to the distance from her business in East Hanover. Suzi gave me the listed price of $90, and I personally thought it was overpriced for a 7-inch, single-tiered cake. I originally did not want to place with Suzi, but I could not find a place around me that would do a red velvet cake legitimately, besides Coco Luxe Cakes in Peapack and Gladstone. Coco Luxe discontinued their red velvet cakes, unfortunately, which is the cake I truly needed, hence why I ordered here. Next, trying to find the suite number and building for this place was a nightmare, another red flag. It's very tight behind some train tracks and very easy to miss. Thank goodness for advanced technology and Google Maps/Street View for helping me navigate. I called Suzi on the phone so she could service me at the front desk to get the cake. I picked up the cake and truly believed that I would make my sister's birthday special, and I planned everything perfectly. I stored the cake in the fridge for 2 days before eating and followed all of Suzi's storage directions. We tried the cake and it was awful. It had a fermented-like taste, and we could not eat it. I saw a similar review on Yelp of someone having Suzi make their cake for their wedding, and their wedding guests could not eat it; it was that bad. I was hoping that would not happen to me, but it did, surely. The icing was hard, dry, and chunky; the cake itself lacked flavor. I got a red velvet cake from ShopRite in July for $16.99, and it tasted way better; just the cake was a little dry. I called Suzi to give her some feedback so she knows. She informed me to come back so she could examine the taste, but at that point, we threw the cake out. $90 truly wasted. Can't really ask for a refund, I guess, because I never came back to her about it, because her location is almost an hour from my house...not sustainable for me. Despite the good reviews, I will never go to Suzi Cakes again. I will stick with another recommendation I got from a relative for Coco Luxe in Peapack if I want a professionally made cake from a bakery. My sister's birthday was ruined, and no one in my family liked the cake. The price for the cake was outrageous, and compared to other local bakeries in the area, the price does not justify the taste. The presentation of the cake is good, but the taste is abysmal. Save yourself, your palate, and your wallet by looking elsewhere!
