Beyond being a local bakery, Jan is so detailed and creative in crafting new flavors. I love the maple cupcakes. Jan's cupcakes is my go to place to give thank you gifts to my local real estate vendors. All of those vendors love the thank you cupcakes. Finally Jan uses cake flour not all purpose flour and why her cupcakes are so moist. read more

Cupcakes By Jan - A special thank you gift for Mother's Day. - Desserts Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

Came in for a little something for our dad. We picked out two cupcakes. I wish I had taken a picture but we got the red velvet and the lemon blueberry. Both were beautiful and delicious. About $5-$6 each for one cupcake. The store is cute and the lady was friendly. Lots of other things to choose from like brittle and brownies. read more

She has always made special orders for me, and they were wonderful. She also has many wonderful items for immediate purchase.

Cupcakes, candies all delicious! Cookies as well. Sweet lady who bakes them is awesome.

Kingman is lucky to have a dessert place like Cupcakes for Jan! When you step into her store, it can feel a bit overwhelming, because it's like stepping into dessert heaven! I expected the store to have a small display of cupcakes, but I was wrong. She's got everything: cupcakes, pies, cakes, cookies, macarons, cream puffs, and yes even jewelry! For my first visit, I got the Assorted Cupcakes Box. They were all delicious and each cupcake you eat just leaves you wanting more! I'm definitely coming back. Also, Jan is as friendly as the other Yelp reviewers say she is. She's just a sweet, genuine person with a love and talent for baking. No wonder she's been in business 10+ years. read more

We happened into this place by accident. WOW! Go here. It is awesome. We talked to the owner and she is a retired exec pastry chef from a major casino hotel. Luckily, I do not live close by. I would be broke and obese! I had the lemon raspberry cupcake and it lasted for 2 different desserts. If you are cruising kingman on route 66 give her a try. Highly reccomended. read more

I've been there several times and Jan not only has great tasting cupcakes, everything in her shop tastes and looks good.

(Review is from earlier in the year before covid-19 was everywhere) Though the name is called Cupcakes By Jan, there are way more than cupcakes here. You can also purchase cookbooks, jewelry, sandwiches, soups, other types of desserts, and more. Honestly, not what I expected because I was expecting only cupcakes, but it was great to look around at everything. The only downside are the hours. It's 7 am to 5 pm daily except Sunday when they're closed, so the only time I could visit was on Saturday when I wasn't working. I purchased a cinnamon roll cupcake with cinnamon cream cheese, a white cupcake, and a cheese danish. They were absolutely delicious. I think I'm tied between the cinnamon roll cupcake and the cheese danish. Good thing I can just purchase both and not have to decide on one or the other. It's been awhile since I've gone back to Kingman, but the next time I swing around, I'll visit Cupcakes By Jan. There's more cupcakes and food I want to try out! read more

The light, flakey, buttery crust is beautiful and the the filling is bursting with not-overly-sweetened cherries. I truly felt the love Jan pours into her sweet treats! read more

Stopped by this cupcake shop when visiting Kingman. First of all I wish the outside looked better. If you were driving by there is nothing to draw your attention. It was even hard to tell what it was. This inside of the place was pretty cute. They have plenty of different kinds of cupcakes and some other pastries. They also sell some other little things, looks like to make the place seem less empty. There is a back seating room that is pretty nice. There is a charming feel to it. We purchased several different cupcakes. The vanilla and chocolate were pretty dry and disappointing. The carrot was good and the pink one had great texture, moist and good flavor. Overall we did enjoy this shop even though several of the cupcakes are disappointing from being dry. I think with some recipe changes this place can be a lot better. If you are using box mixes I would recommend adding pudding mix to it, which will make them incredibly moist. read more

The cupcakes and fudge were absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back the next time we're in Kingman.

Best cupcakes ever. Always fresh and never dry. Great prices. I would eat them daily if I could.

Oh my gosh! Moved in next door, saw the sweet(pun intended) cupcake sign. Within 5 minutes a guy from Vegas pulled next to me and said you gotta get some cupcakes! They are the best! I had already planned to, how can you not get 1? Igot3! I just had the yellow cake, white frosting, chocolate drizzle, cherry stuffed cupcake! What were those things in the cherry goo? Real cherries! 5 to be exact! I just became spoiled! See you next time! COOKIES! read more

I was getting my kicks on Route 66, but then veered off the path to see what was kicking on Stockton Hill. I spotted the word 'Cupcakes' before anything else. Cupcakes by Jan. I had to stop, but after the fact of putting out $32 plus tax for a dozen treats, I should have kept on driving. These cupcakes may have been baked at home, but they are not homemade. The lemon flavored cup tasted like yellow cake mix. The plain cup tasted like angel food cake mix. The "spicy" apple cup was not in the least bit spicy and tasted like cake mix. The brownie tasted like cake mix. The carrot cake cup was the most disappointing. I tasted no carrots what so ever. Need I go on? If you want to support a local Kingman business, then by all means spend the $2.69 per cake, but in my opinion it's not worth making a special for. You just might end up as disappointed as I was. read more

Stopped by while we were in Kingman today & will definitely come back to this cute little shop! It was a great atmosphere and the nice lady working here was such a sweetheart. Oh and it smelled so sweet & wonderful that I wanted to buy the entire store. I managed to control myself tho and only left with a Boston Cream, Ding Dong & Yellow sprinkle cupcake to bring home for my kids & a strawberry cream cheese danish for me & hubby to try in the car. Also some adorable chocolate turtles filled with caramel and pecans. We loved everything! I especially loved that the cupcakes were a healthy jumbo size, they were light and airy and nothing was overly heavy or sweet. We can't wait to come back & try more next time we're in town :) read more

Will be back next time we make a day trip to Kingman. We ordered about half a dozen cupcakes and they were all good. The chocolate ones though were a little dry. There is a variety of flavors which is nice. The cupcakes are standard muffin size and price wise it is not expensive. If the owner is reading this, I suggest changing the yelp price from $$ to only $. Your shop and prices is very affordable and having that $ would have your bakery show up more when people are looking for cheaper places to eat at. read more

Great little bakery with wonderful cupcakes, pastries, cookies, muffins and customer service. Their is no longer a cafe only a delicious bakery open on weekdays only. No day old anything as Ms. Jan donates all day old items to the Cornerstone Mission to help feed the homeless. Maggie the pup is cute. They also sell jewelry, salt water taffy, cannolis, drinks and local wildlife artwork. They have been in business for going on a decade. Great items cupcakes are $3.00 and pastries and 3 big cookies go for $2.75 but for every 8 items you get one free. Ms. JAN makes over 300 kinds of cupcakes a week. And yes she takes special orders. The Boston Cream Pie cupcake and the Cranberry Orange muffin were delish. Stop on by open 0700-5:00pm Mon - Fri closed on weekends. Just a block off of Route 66. Tell her Kacee sent you read more

New phone #: (928) 529-5062 Cupcakes were excellent! Great customer service. We ordered 4 different kinds (Double Raspberry Chocolate, Boston Cream Pie, Brownie Stuffed Red Velvet, and Simple Elegance) and they certainly tasted as delicious as they looked! Worth the stop! read more

Jan personally prepares each cupcake and pastry in her on-site kitchen from her own recipes. Each cupcake is a work of art and just as delicious! We love them and love giving her gift certificates to our friend on special occasions. read more

I had the clam chowder soup bread bowl. Howard had the ham sandwich. The clam chowder was delicious. It was served in a bread bowl. Very good chowder Howard had a ham sandwich in a croissant. He loved it. I followed up with a lemon bar. Yummy yummy yummy, so good I brought one home. We leave Jan's baked goods. She has one of the best cinnamon rolls we have ever had. Her cupcakes are masterful. It s always an excellent experience when we stop there. I haven't tried her other soups, but I will. I love soups. read more

Very nice Woman with a lot of hospitality. Her Cup cakes are great. Don't tease her Dog she gets very upset almost murder like.

This is my second review of this place. Jan is way more than just cupcakes, so don't let the name just pass you by. Let the name intrigue you to stop by and see just what the "more" is. My bride and I stopped in for a danish, some baklava, and coffee. Sat in a beautiful relaxed dining area, had some quaint one-on-one conversation and even visited with the talented Jan herself. Such a sweet soul with a God given gift and talent that she loves to share with others. In Kingman, AZ? Stop on by. Say hello. Stay for a danish and coffee or a delectable lunch. Take something to go. And we'll see you here again. Have a great day! read more

Love, Love, Love!! When I am in town I like to stop in here for my sweet tooth cravings. Don't let the name fool you, Jan has loads of delicious sweet and savory items to choose from. Her customer service is wonderful and she is just a joy. I recommend taking a trip, you won't be disappointed. read more

Decor was cute and the staff was friendly. One star for each. The carrot cake cupcake and icing tasted like they came from a mix and had a mix texture as well. The carrot cake had no carrot pieces and tasted like boxed spice cake. The icing had an orange flavor and tasted like canned icing from the grocery store. I did not eat it. Not a fan. read more

Hold onto your hats, there's a 5-star experience in Kingman. If you've spent any time there, you are as shocked as I am. I noticed Jan's as I was driving by, and my mom gave her high marks. But I left it at that. But then I found 2 cupcakes in my Easter basket. Yes I'm 45 and still get an Easter basket. You don't? Then your mom sucks. Back to my review...one was cream filled and topped with orange icing and one was chocolate with strawberry icing. Unfortunately, Lent was over and my husband was back on sweets and I had to share. But these were good sized cupcakes, so sharing wasn't terrible, just not preferable. The cakes were super moist and fresh. The icing was the perfect amount, and not overly sweet, yet not that horrific not sweet at all crap that tastes like someone piped a pound of butter on your cake. It had a very nice light texture. We also got two mini pies...lemon and cherry. Both were good, but I think Jan really shines in the cupcake arena. Hopefully, there's enough appreciation for her product that people will spend a little more here, rather than settle for Safeway. read more

The absolutely top cupcakes, scones, and desserts in Kingman. Jan personally makes the delicious food. We are regular customers and have shared desserts made by Jan with friends and everyone impressed read more

So, I have already written a review on here for Jan, but I needed to update the viewers on how the wedding went. Again, she did not disappoint. She took the time to carefully plan the presentation. The set up was a little girl's dream; making cards for each one of the particular cupcakes with detailed descriptions and placing them on glass boxes and under individual cake stands. The guests, even from various cities nationwide were astounded. Everyone raved on the uniqueness and taste. Aromas filled the Hualapai Mountains with Banana Cream with a Graham Cracker Crust, Chocolate Raspberry with a Grand Marnier filling, Pineapple Coconut Rum, and Strawberry Mousse just to name a few. I would not recommend anyone else to do your wedding cake, even if I was in another city. read more

Second time getting cupcakes while in town and pleased with all choices made, I guess Jan the original owner has retired as I was told tonight when I went in. 4 stars because the place doesn't really have any designation of anything it needs to be organized and set up to appear as a little cupcake store where you can sit or go... Lots of unused space read more

I called ahead, because my husband wanted cinnamon rolls.. she was kind enough to save all of them for us till we arrived.. thank you for that! They're little on the pricey side, but so delicious it worth every penny. read more

Service was pleasant. That's it. Cupcakes WAY over priced. Fudge too high priced as well. No one else in the place. Not much of a selection on the cupcakes. Fudge selection "okay" but flavors were the usual. I bought 2 cupcakes and asked them to be boxed individual. She squished them both which defeated the purpose. Need to price appropriate. read more

Delicious, homemade cupcakes, cakes/pies, danishes, and other goodies. Definitely worth checking out. 10/10 read more

Amazeballs! Bust thing I have ever put in my mouth. No kidding. She bakes them fresh every morning at some ungodly hour, and for 20 something dollars you get 9 gormet cupcakes AND FUDGE! I realize I may sound like a fat a $$ after saying that, but if you've had them, you understand . . . read more

Very disappointed. Hours online two places say open til 5. Get there & only open til 10am!

Cupcakes are a box mix and same goes for cakes. Their not made from scratch. Their not made fresh daily, she freezes/refrigerates them. The sodas are expired and she still sells them. The pastry's half are home made and the other half are bought at a store. The pies are frozen and never home made. There's mold in the spatulas but she still uses them. Owner is not a friendly lady. She will complain about you as soon as you leave. The jewelry is from wish.com. read more

Amazing the best! Easy parking, cupcakes are a little bit of heaven. Worth the trip going through Kingman as a side trip.

Not impressed. I mean I make my own homemade frosting and pastries and if I had to guess this place is using mixes and canned product and calling it there own. Maybe adding a little flavoring or garnishes to make it their own. Some like it, but if you know homemade stay in the kitchen and make your own!!! read more

The cupcakes, while very pretty and presentable are way too sweet. I know, I know Cup cakes are supposed be sweet however, If you receive a toothache from eating one my guess is that is way too sweet. read more

Another delicious batch of cupcakes!!! Can't say enough about the food. We have special diet needs (no dyes) and there is always enough of a selection for us. We have Birthday cakes made by Jan that are dye free, and yet beautiful. Out of town guest from Chicago and Germany couldn't get enough. This is worthy of a stop by for sure! read more

Absolutely fantastic cupcakes, pastries, and coffee. I make a habit of finding a cupcake place everywhere I travel, and Jan's tops places in Vegas, Kansas City, and elsewhere. Her bearclaws, cinnamon rolls, and scones are some of the best I've ever had. My wife and I are there almost every week. Now she makes excellent fresh bread too! The cupcake selection has some consistent options, but there's always a flavor you haven't tried yet. Add to all that one of the kindest, most friendly proprietors in town and you have a cozy bakery that Kingman is lucky to have. read more
