We went to eat in Downtown Walnut Creek, I promised my little one a cupcake and she did not forget. As soon as we finished lunch, she was on it. Cupcakin' Bake Shop for the win. We ordered a couple mini cupcakes, which are the perfect size for a two bite dessert. We got a chocolate one and another with vanilla frosting and sprinkles. Cute mini cupcakes, not too pricey and delicious - smiles all around.
I haven't had a fancy cupcake in a long time so this was such a treat! The inside is decorated simply with a focus on the cupcakes. I LOVED the creme brulee cupcake I had, the custard was delicious and I loved the caramelized sugar topping. I also loved the mini cupcakes to try other flavors, the double chocolate, carrot cake, and key lime were delicious too. The cake itself for all the flavors I tried was so moist and perfectly cooked. I can't wait to try more flavors!
I was looking for a place to find some good desserts. I found this place on Yelp. When I entered the shop the staff were very helpful. I ordered a chocolate salted caramel and carrot cake cupcake. Both cupcakes were delicious and very soft. Ambiance was customer service friendly and very clean. The cupcake selection was great.
This was my first time going to the WC location, and it was cute! I got the carrot cake cupcake and of course it did not disappoint. They also have a great deal on day old cupcakes (they still taste delicious). Definitely my go to cupcake spot.
I loveeeeeee Cupcakin! I literally rave about their key lime cupcake, it is my favorite! I am just a little bummed with their reward program and how their system is set up. I wanted to place a custom order online for a birthday but I realized there was no way to confirm if the order was going to translate into earning rewards points. I called the Walnut Creek location and the associate was very nice but she explained that the only way to accumulate rewards points is to go in store and make a same day purchase. She did offer to have someone take my order over the phone but told me I still wouldn't accumulate points that way because there system just isn't designed like that. Seems a bit unfair to their customers...I decided not to order.
Ahhh, cupcakes. We love the Cupcakin' Bake Shop location in Berkeley on Shattuck and just had to check if the Walnut Creek location was just as good. The answer? Yes it is. We got six cupcakes as our sample size: strawberry, cookies n cream, key lime, carrot cake, Madagascar vanilla, chocolate chip (limited flavor). They were all fantastic! Moist, not too sweet, perfect ratio of frosting and cake. I do seem to recall that the strawberry we've had from Shattuck has a ribbon of strawberry jam through it, but maybe they just don't do that anymore. And honestly, it's ok if they don't because they are still freakin' amazing! Strawberry and key lime are my favorites. But you really can't go wrong with any of them. These tasty treats don't come cheap, but they are so worth it. And you can save a dollar of you get the "baked yesterday" cupcakes. They taste just as good and will still taste good even two days later than that (if they last that long!) Or get the mini cupcakes. They have the same attention to detail as the regular sized ones. Which is something I love about this bakery; their mini versions are exactly the same as the regular size, just smaller. If the regular is filled or has a cookie base, the mini will also be filled or have a cookie base. No shortcuts are taken. I'm so excited to have this location as an option. Both are about an hour (one way) from my house, but these cupcakes are so good I have no issues making the drive just to pick up a dozen or so. I love this place!
OMG - how do I even begin to explain how good these cupcakes are. I stopped by randomly as I was in the area & wanted something sweet. I knew as soon as I tasted their oatmeal cookie that the cupcakes were not going to let me down! Everything was super flavorful & sweet but not overpoweringly sweet (if that makes sense). It's $4.50/each & at first to thought that was a bit pricey for 1 cupcake... but I totally get it & it's totally worth it. The staff is friendly & helpful, and the space is really cute. Looking forward to coming back & hopefully hosting a party soon which will give me a reason to place in another order!
Great cupcake spot that features alot of different and yummy flavors. They also sell older cupcakes for a discount and mini cupcakes, which is nice to sample. The double chocolate was very good as was the key lime. Service was fast and friendly. Place is small so can get crowded.
The cupcakes at Cupcakin' Bake Shop were really good--moist, flavorful, and definitely worth trying! My favorites were the peanut butter and carrot cake, both had great texture and just the right amount of sweetness. The only reason for the 3-star rating is the customer service. The employee helping customers was on his phone with headphones in and having personal conversations while working, which made the experience feel a bit unprofessional. Other than that, the cupcakes were great, and I'd still come back for the treats!
My friends and I were craving a little sweet treat after our dinner so we stopped by and got the strawberry cupcake and carrot cake cupcake. So delicious! The strawberry frosting was sweeter than the carrot cake frosting but neither of them were too sweet. I personally liked the carrot cake cupcake more. I wished we had gotten more to share but I'll just have to wait until we come back!
I'm posting a third review because I had no idea they sell day old cupcakes! The mini day olds sell for $1. And guys...they're hella moist snd scrumptious still! Everytime I come here I'm sad I didn't order more. When will I learn my lesson and get at least half a dozen?? Who knows. Anywho this time around I got the key lime and the Oreo. I'm not a key lime pie girl but I like some tart based pastries so figured I'd give it a try. I mean, what could I lose, it's $1. I bit into that thing and instantly regretted that I only bought one. FIRE! Love the crust on the bottom too. Adds a nice texture. I liked it more than the Oreo one. Wish I remembered to snag a pic of the key lime one.
Stopped by on a whim during Father's Day and family birthdays week in June. The person was so helpful in advising what was available and popular, as well as their pricing. I was able to grab a strawberry, cookies and cream, red velvet, and crème brûlée. Lastly, a vegan option which was banana blueberry. The cupcakes were a hit, I do believe the crème brûlée was the favorite. The vegan cupcake was good, although tasted like something I'd prefer to eat for breakfast. So I did, with coffee. Would definitely return, and thanks for accommodating!
Service was quick and easy. I love that they sell day old and two day old cupcakes. Better than throwing them away! The peanut butter was just okay, not a ton of flavor. The apple caramel was delicious! We also tried a lemon that was excellent! I didn't see that they sell drinks, but we had our own. We'll definitely be back to try more! read more

Absolutely beautiful and incredibly delicious! My boyfriend surprised me with a cake from Cup Cakin' for my 35th birthday, and everyone raved about it! It was perfectly moist, full of flavor, and just the right amount of sweetness. I added my own gold edible glitter to it, it was perfect! The cake served around 12 people and was very reasonably priced. Since then, I've gone back for cupcakes and plan to keep supporting this wonderful business for future celebrations. Both the quality and service have been consistently excellent! read more

Never knew there were outstanding cupcakes until I tried Cupcakin'. They have an amazing selection of flavors and each cupcake is a work of art. I think I've tried every flavor at this point and can't pick a favorite. The bakery is very well kept and whoever is working is always friendly and ready to offer up recommendations. Cupcakin' is our family's new go-to for any and all celebrations now. :))) read more

Located on Main Street in Downtown Walnut Creek! There is street parking but also garages near by. The store is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. No one was in front when we entered but someone came out from the back within a few minutes. There were many cupcakes on display to choose From but I was here to pick up a Key Lime Pie cake and Strawberries and cream cake. The key lime pie cake was ok. The cake was a vanilla cake with a key lime custard and a graham cracker crust. The crust was my favorite. The cake over all was way too sweet and there was not much curd in it. The Strawberries and cream cake was the same cake layers as the key lime pie cake but with strawberries in the middle. Not many strawberries but very few. Very awkward that they misspelled Birthday on the cake. I wish I caught it before I left the store. Both cakes VERY sweet. They're soaked in a sugar syrup so they were moist. Overall, at $45 a cake, the cakes were very mid. Nothing special or spectacular about the cakes. read more

Honestly you just can't miss with any of their cupcakes. I personally love the minis because they're just fun to eat and you can try multiple. If you're lucky they might have day olds available. Their employees are always super sweet and helpful. I went in yesterday and they had Valentine's Day specials. My boyfriend is obsessed with the key lime cupcake. It even has graham crackers on the bottom. The devil is in the details! read more

I simply will not get cupcakes from anywhere else ever again. Period. These are the kind of cupcakes that make you question every other dessert choice you've ever made. Moist cake, frosting that's basically a spiritual experience, and flavors that disappear faster than my willpower at a bake sale. I tell myself I'm buying them for the kids, but let's be honest--the kids are lucky if they even get one. Enough said. read more

Stumbled upon this shop and got a slice of cake as well as 2 mini cupcakes. The cake was nice and moist but I was told it was one flavor when it was obviously not. The store associate was unsure of the flavor and guessed. Being it looked yummy I figured it was worth the shot of trying it. The frosting did not compliment the tasty cake or filling. If you have any kind of food allergies be warned employees are not sure what ingredients or flavors each item has. The two mini cupcakes were sadly very dry. Prices are ok. Could be better but definitely could be worse ($$$) Shop is kinda basic with awkward seating available. Wish they would put more attention to labeling the cupcakes in the showcase rather than just use a sharpie and post it note. Overall the service was lacking as the shop associate seemed aloof. read more

I was visiting the area for one night and I had to stop here for my favorite cupcake place of all time. The cupcakes are absolutely delicious and the frosting is light and airy, but still really good. I can't get enough of this place hands-down my favorite cupcake place in California. read more
