Half a dozen. From top going across... red velvet martini vanilla rum snickers chocolate peanut butter key lime pie and lemon
Dana O.

I wish I had seen the check in deal but it gives me an excuse to come back sooner. This place was amazing. I'm not a huge cake fan but I tend to like cupcakes more for the right icing/cake flavors. They offer an assortments of flavors that change as well as cake. They have unique alcohol infused cupcakes as well. All the icing was so fluffy yet flavorful and perfectly dense. The cake itself was also well flavored and soft. We were really pleased with the richness of the flavors like the key lime really tastes accurate but not artificial. My sister loved the alcohol infused ones. She said she could really taste the alcohol and the sweetness of the cake was balanced well with it. Cupcakes were $3.50 for regular ones and $4 for alcohol infused ones. Got half a dozen for $20 and I was happy to support this family run small business for quality dessert. I'll be back!

Red velvet and strawberry cupcakes
Suhana E.

I tried the strawberry and red velvet cupcakes. I thought they were average. The cupcakes didn't taste very fresh. They were not soft & moist as I would like and the frosting was not light & fluffy as I like it to be. The cupcakes I had were little dense and the frostings were a bit thick. Overall they were okay.

My mom discovered Cupcake People more than five years ago. She told me that she knew who was going to do my wedding cake -- Cupcake People. I laughed because not only was I not planning a wedding, I wasn't in a relationship. Because the location wasn't too far from my commute home, I stopped in one day to try their sweets. O. M. G. The wedding cake is simply divine and I still haven't found another like it. Their cupcakes are all extremely delicious, also. My favorite was quickly established -- salted caramel -- and this became my go to spot on the way home. Calories be damned. In the course of enjoying this guilty pleasure, I started dating the man who became my husband. I'd buy cupcakes to celebrate birthdays and just because. So when I got engaged in 2019, I asked how could I order a cake for my wedding. The owner told me just give them a few days notice and they could do it. Great! That was the idea for our October 2020 wedding -- and then Covid happened. So we went ahead and eloped at home and ordered a small naked cake. Perfect. We postponed our bigger affair due to the pandemic and it was scheduled for November 2021. Again, we knew we wanted their cake to be our cake. I requested a 2 tier salted caramel drip cake with salted caramel and wedding cake layers. I also ordered an additional salted caramel sheet cake for the wedding and a chocolate cookies and cream drip cake and cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner dessert. Because we our event would take place while they were closed, we received our desserts 4 days beforehand and froze them. They held up perfectly!! One frequent question we've gotten since the wedding was "Where did you get this cake?" My mama knew! Thank goodness for Cupcake People. My best friend is getting married in April 2022 and told me she was going to go to Cupcake People for her cake. My wedding planner grabbed a salted caramel cake after the wedding because it was so good. We are thrilled to create more Cupcake People fans! This is a great business in Gwinnett and is owned by a Black family. Wins all around!

Best customer service! My mom and I have the same birthday however I live in CA and she is in GA. I had multiple questions and requests for cupcakes to be delivered to her and they accommodated everything. I wish I could have tried them because they look fabulous. Rave reviews from my mom and her coworkers though. Thanks again!

Strawberry daiquiri, red velvet, coconut, n s'mores on the right is pink lemonade
Kousee L.

Overall, I like this place. I used to go here all the time before I discovered other cupcake bakeries.. The only thing I hate to say is that some if not most of their cupcakes differ ONLY by frosting, disappointing that they are just plain white cakes with like a generic birthday cake frosting or a chocolate cake with peanut butter on it and you call it pb cupcake then the other cake is the same choc. Cake with like chocolate frosting n drizzle or something on it and all of a sudden it's something else. It would be better if every cake had it's own individual uniqueness. BEST BEST thing is the alcohol infused cupcakes. Red velvet martini and strawberry daiquiri... Yummy!!

Red velvet, lemon, strawberry
Saida Y.

I ordered the red velvet, strawberry, & lemon cupcakes. They were all good, the icing was spectacular! I usually stay away from so much icing, but it was so good, I ate it all!

A dozen cupcakes that were ruined because the cupcake holders in the box are terrible!

In my opinion, it's the best cupcake shop in the greater ATL area. I appreciate the variety of flavors. I always want to try them all.

I don't usually do reviews however I definitely had to send one in reference to the satisfaction…read morethat we felt for our daughter Zoë's 1st birthday cake. We have gone through many vendors to have things done in the past and I must say by far this was one of the best experiences that we've had with working with a company for placing a order and having everything executed professionally perfect. Special thanks to Jeanine for being one of the sweetest, most professional and, caring owners that anyone can ever encounter. Thanks for making Zoë's Birthday Cake such a huge success! We will definitely be using you again! Very grateful, Sandra J for

I HAVE to tell you the story about our wedding cake! Tom and Jeannine with "It Takes the Cake…read moreLawrenceville" are SUCH dear people and I could not be HAPPIER that they made our cake!!! --------- 1: Jeannine and I corresponded through email and ironed out all the particulars of the flavors they offer. 2: Tom baked the samples and they tied them up in a ribbon, cupcakes with many different flavors for us to take home and try out. 3: They drove 3 hours to deliver it! I moved to NW GA from NE, and they didn't even hesitate to transport it all the way to where our wedding ceremony was. 4: We left a few flowers on the cake table in a jar and Jeannine decorated it BEAUTIFULLY. I absolutely ~adored~ how it turned out. They are artistic in more ways than one. 5: It was soooooo good. I can't even tell you how many times I have thought about it since. I need to place a continuous order for our birthdays and holidays etc. 6: And extra extra! They didn't depend on us snagging the top layer for the future, they brought us a COMPLETELY NEW tiny cake top, all wrapped up for our first anniversary- that is neatly tucked away in our freezer; we'll see how long it lasts though... Colton wants to save it, but I highly doubt it will still be there on May 3rd of next year, it sitting there calling my name and all... 7:Months later after the wedding - our guests and family are STILL talking about how "out of this world" our wedding cake was... is that even normal??? ---------- Can't recommend them enough! They are dear souls. Every conversation I've ever had with them - I have been lifted up and encouraged in the Lord. Love you guys so much! Senator & Mrs Hailey Ann Moore
