Just when I think Frosted can't get any better, they go and master the gluten-free cupcake! As someone who has experienced how difficult gluten-free baking can be, I can truly appreciate this master piece from Frosted. If you're have celiacs disaease, have gluten intolerance, or just wanna try something new, order the pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese frosting from Frosted! It's amazing and tastes just like a regular cupcake. Sometimes gluten-free basked items can have a sandy texture or the taste can be off, but somehow they have come up with the perfect flour blend. I came in here on a Tuesday night to pick up cupcakes for my mom's birthday. As always with Frosted, I received serivce with smile, and even a free candle for my mom's cupcake. Everytime I visit Frosted, I love their cupcakes and friendly attitude even more than I did the previous time. YUM! Everyone was pleased with the surprise b-day cupcakes! read more

I used to really love cupcakes. I mean I guess I still do love them but I don't really eat them anymore because I'm too conscious of my growing waistline and kind of watching my sugar intake. The place is really cute and even though we came 30 minutes before their closing time, they still had some cupcakes leftover for us to choose from. They were really nice about us being there so late and even asked us if we wanted to eat them in the shop but we took them to-go. We decided on two cupcakes, both with a chocolate base. We got one with caramel buttercream frosting with toffee, and another with a coconut vanilla buttercream frosting. The caramel toffee cupcake was delicious. The frosting wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and didn't have any of that artificial taste that some frostings have. But more important,y the cake was baked properly. The coconut cupcake on the other hand wasn't that good. When I read coconut, I expect to taste coconut. Non existent here and that was disappointing. I don't necessarily think Frosted Cupcakery is somewhere you need to drive out of the way to but if you're around it, it might be a nice place to grab a quick sweet tooth fix. But then again, cupcake places are a dime a dozen these days so maybe not. 3/5 read more

I sort of OD'd on cupcakes there for awhile ... but Frosted Cupcakery (and Auntie Em's) has reeled me back in a bit. I love the clever flavors here, still have delicious memories of sinking my teeth into a Mexican Hot Chocolate cupcake (a past seasonal offering that I hope they bring back) and the classic Nutella cupcake. The cupcakes are buttery, fluffy and moist, perfect amount of sweetness and not too crazy on the ratio of icing to cake. Last week I grabbed the chocolate toffee caramel (yum!!!), cookies n'cream, peanut butter with crushed Butterfingers in the icing (!!!) ... all fabulous. I also nabbed some of the pupcakes (made of biscuit batter -- no sugar or salt and flavored with a bit of chicken or beef-flavored baby food) that my dog LOVES so we can sit outside on 2nd street and have treats together. Plus it gives me a glorious full minute of my dog's attention, an all too brief distraction before she goes right back to lunging after other dogs strolling by. read more

If I had to desribe the Frosted Cupcakery in one word, it would be: eh. I had been looking forward to trying a cupcake or two for a few months. But I never quite made it until this past weekend. I usually forgot about it when I was on 2nd Street since it's tucked away on a side street. When I did remember it was always closed. But I decided last weekend that I was definitely finally going to try it out. I read the reviews here so I was prepared for mediocrity. And that's what I got. I ordered a Strawberry Cream Cheese and a Lemon Cream Cheese. I also tried a sample of the Chocolate Peppermint. The Chocolate Peppermint was ok, but a little much. I don't think I could have eaten an entire cupcake. I'm not a big fan of mint, so this could be why. Although around Christmas time it might be good with a cup of hot chocolate. The Strawberry Cream Cheese was disappointing. My mom used to bake me a strawberry cake for my birthday every year as a kid, so I'm looking for that same quality in my strawberry cakes as an adult. The cupcake itself was a little dry (you can get frozen cupcakes at Ralphs that are more moist), the pink coloring was not consistant throughout, and all the flavor was in the frosting. Don't get me wrong, the frosting was delish (hooray for cream cheese), but a cupcake is more than just frosting. The Lemon Cream Cheese was less disappointing. The cake was a little more moist (even after sitting in my fridge for a few days) and the frosting was still tasty. The cake had little bits of lemon zest in it (at least I hope that's what it was) which added a little kick. The cupcakes are small (the same size as you would bake at home). I guess I just imagined gourmet cupcakes to be bigger and more glamorous than bakesale cupcakes. So I guess if you really want a cupcake, my suggestion to you is to buy a box of Betty Crocker mix (for the same price as one cupcake), make your own, and share with your friends! read more

Not only are the cupcakes phenomenal taste wise but they are CONSISTENTLY phenomenal. There are no "good days" and "bad days" and the quality of their product never lags. I've had the royal white with salted caramel butter cream mini cupcake, Red Velvet (multiple times), the lemon cupcake, Peanut Butter Chocolate cupcake, Orange Creamsicle cupcake & Carrot Cupcake. All were fabulous. Easily the best place on 2nd street for dessert. read more

This place is the best! It's my go-to place for special occassions (mainly birthdays). I haven't had a bad cupcake yet. My new fav is the Nutella Cupcakes. The frosting is creamy & sweet while the cupcake is a little understated (a perfect combo). I have to say that the service isn't the best. It's not horrible but it's no Starbucks. It's just a little bland. Wish it was a little better. But who cares?!?!?! Still awesome cupcakes!!' read more

I don't have a sweet tooth but Frosted has got me hooked! I have probably tried most of their awesome tasting flavors. Cupcakes CANNOT crumble when you take a bite into it or slice it, that's a no no. These cupcakes do not fall apart. They are so moist and flavorful. I love the Lemon Cream cheese! The cream cheese frosting has that lemon flavor too, so creamy & delicious! I love this cupcakery so much. Their flavors are really good! Seriously... really GOOD! read more

Just had something savory? Want to balance out your taste bud karma with something sweet? Are you in Long Beach? Are you on 2nd Street? Do you want cupcakes? If you answered "yes" to all the questions, then meet Frosted Cupcakery. This bakery makes cupcakes like it should be: moist, flavorful, and Pinterest worthy. I love that they don't skimp out on the frosting. Cupcake hack: pull the cupcake base apart from the top and make a cupcake sandwich. read more

So I feel TOTALLY horrible. I had just given birth to our first daughter...on MY birthday. So yes, we now share the same day! Kind of cool actually. My friends came to visit us in the hospital and one of them was a total sweetie and brought us Frosted cupcakes for our bdays and because I had just popped out a kid! I had been dying to try this place out, so what a great opportunity. The box had about 8 assorted flavors to try out. I will say...great idea but I wasn't impressed. I'm pretty picky about food... I consider myself a self-proclaimed food critic of sorts. The cupcakes were pretty dry and weren't really any better than the boxed cake mixes from the grocery store. Actually those are more moist than these were! The frosting was good, but again nothing spectacular. So if you are looking for GOOD cupcakes do yourself a favor... skip the cute concept cupcake shop and go to the best bakery around...Great Dane in Los Alamitos. Their cupcakes kick butt.. large, moist, yummy frosting....and they also have great bread, cookies, etc. read more

We drove aaaaaall the way down here just to try their cupcakes because we heard they rivaled Sprinkles. Well, no. Yes, they were cheaper, but much smaller. Cuter, yes, but very dry. I like my cupcakes soft and moist, not dry and crumbly. So, while the place was real cute and the cupcakes LOOKED cute, it was disappointing. I may have given them a 3 stars if I lived down the street and just had to walk over instead of having to spend over 30 minutes in traffic to get here. read more

This place was funny. Well, not so much this place... but the experience I had attached to it was. Three friends and I sat in a diner, aimlessly wiling the time away. There was chatter, pictures were taken, and jokes were told. It was easy. It was calm. Our time together that night was coming to an end. Until, that is, someone in our party commented on the tastiness of Frosted's cupcakes. That was when the idle chatter ceased. A silence descended upon the table as four pairs of eyes met each other in turn. Cupcakes? We'd been together for hours. We'd had dinner together. It seemed that dessert was only the most natural of conclusions to our day's exploits. It was settled, then, in the quiet. We were to make a pilgrimage for cupcakes. End of story. Except this was at 8:35 at night, and Frosted closed at 9. We were not even in the same city. So, the pilgrimage became a compulsion; an adventure. We would have those cupcakes, come hell or high water. Our band of mismatched brothers (though two of us happened to be girls) piled in to the car and raced up PCH toward Long Beach. The drive is something of a blur. I seem to recall some minor breeches of traffic law, which I don't advocate, but I was not the one driving. 19 minutes later, the shop was in view. Of course, this was a Saturday night in Long Beach, so finding a parking spot would have been a miracle (this is the reason they lose a star). What then? What was to be done? There was no time to drive around looking for a place to park, and what's more, any spot that we found would have been at least a couple blocks away. It seemed we had lost this battle. The person among us who had suggested these cupcakes in the first place groaned in the agony of defeat. He loved these cupcakes and he wanted us to love them, but that was impossible if we never got to taste one. Another time then, right? Wrong. Our driver threw on the hazard lights, and parked in the last small space on the curb. While, again, I don't encourage the breaking of laws... to me, this did qualify as something of an emergency. It was then that I yelled, "No time to look around! First cupcake you see, you commit to it!" The four of us sped out of the car, ran in... and did exactly that. We each committed to the first cupcake we saw. We ordered, got our cupcakes boxed up, and were back out of that place all within 4 or 5 minutes. Epic? Yes. Do I suggest doing what we did? No. Were the cupcakes worth it? Yes. I suppose, really, that's all you needed to know. read more

This weekend, I bought $90.00 worth of cupcakes for a party... The cupcakes were really good... A little small compared to Sprinkles.... I am a very reasonable guy and never complained even in the store.... so here it goes.... I am really turned off by the service.... when I walked in.... I asked for 3 dozen... they cut me off at 2 dozen.... which doesn't make any sense.... would you want to make the extra money....then I asked them for a bag to carry them in.... they told me... sorry no bags.... So, I really needed an extra dozen... so, I had my brother go in later in the day.... a separate trip to buy the extra dozen.... they were stuck up to him as well.... we asked for some singles boxes...to give out to guests at the party so, they can take home cupcakes... the bitches there turned him down.... Thanks for trying to support your local businesses..... = ( Cupcakes are just fine... the girls behind the counter are bitches........ F*** your cupcakes....! I hope you go out of business! I am going back to Sprinkles or somewhere else.... read more

You know why I love cupcakes? Because it is a self contained sweet. There has only been one time that I actually shared a cupcake (well, many cupcakes). I was on a cupcake crawl and there was no way of trying every confection I wanted on my own...so I had a teammate :) I have frequented Frosted a handful of times since they opened in Belmont Shore. On my first visit I have to say that I was not all that impressed. What I realized though, is that the cupcakes that I prefer are plain and simple...I like white cake with white frosting. I remember uttering (albeit with a mouthful of cupcake) that I could make these at home. I am so shamed that I never really gave them the credit they deserved I just needed to try one of their more exotic flavorings :) Today I asked Kealoha if he would buy me a cupcake, I am not feeling too well and I knew that it would put a little smile on my face. We walked in and were welcomed with a smile and a hello. The new place is adorable with baby blue walls and the greatest glass case with the flavors du jour lined up for the taking. I asked about the Halloween-themed flavor of the month. She told me that it was orange cake with chocolate orange butter-cream. It had my name all over it (not really, it had a white chocolate pumpkin on it) and I had to try it. Kealoha picked a cupcake for himself, we waited while they were packaged and we were on our way. When we got home I was a tad bit bummed because they weren't in a cutesy little box. They were put in a white lunch-bag and stickered shut. I thought that both of our cakes were rubbing up against each other exchanging frosting flavors....UNTIL I OPENED THE BAG and found that they put each cupcake in a another paper cup that has a collar on it to keep the cupcakes from touching...BRILLIANT! I wasted no time getting into the bag and eating my orange with chocolate orange buttercream mini cake...it was delicious! I promise that I will never again purchase cupcakes that I can make at home, not when Frosted Cupcakery goes through all the trouble they do to taunt my world famous sweet tooth! read more

I am a cupcake lover, very picky eater and an honest lil reviewer.... Eh hem... so here it goes, -Prices Fair $2.95 for the reg size.... -Service:nice with a smile on top -Cleanliness- pretty darn clean and it smells like sugary heaven inside, you almost (I said allllmost) -don't need to eat one- the whiff is almost enough..... -....... The last comment of heavenly sweetness leads me to this... you know how sometime things smell soooooo good, and you think they are going to taste just as glorious as that "smell" well these cupcakes dont.... dont get me wrong some of them are very yummy in my tummy and probably in your tummy too, but I have had better..... -Presentation is clean cut like a preschoolers hairdo on his first day of school. -This place must be doing pretty well even in the current economic state, they used to be in the same area (Belmont shore-off second st...) but they were tucked away on a side street right off of 2nd st. towards the end of the strip... for those of you who are not familiar with the area the end of second st is not to popular with the folks there's not as much down on that side, and no one really veers off the 2nd st. path... I am sure rent was muuuch cheaper. So now... They have relocated to the beginning of the strip actually on 2nd st. it self.... so HURRY and give them a try you be the judge, b4 their heads get big and they raise the prices..... read more

10x better than Sprinkles. Don't waste your money on those knock-offs they call cupcakes; buy them here and save a quarter or two per. AND Frosted has ice cream-filled cupcakes, pup cakes (for your dogs), and other cute little add-ons. Variety! read more

I'm so impressed with their cupcakes. I'm normally not a huge cupcake fan bc I don't like the "oil-yness", or the heaviness from frosting, or it might be "dry or crumbly", or the taste of "artificial flavors." Well, I have found one of the best cupcakes I've ever had! * MOIST, MOIST, MOIST * Natural flavor! * The name of the cupcake says it all.. if it says Carrot Cake, it literally is carrot cake, not "fake" or "wannabe" carrot cake. My favorite flavor: STRAWBERRY!!! It had actual pieces of strawberry inside!! What a surprise! I was so thrilled & so happy & so impressed that strawberries were inside my strawberry cupcake. Oh! and there was a cute "strawberry" gummy on top! :) Another flavor: Carrot cake. It tasted just like carrot cake, with cream cheese frosting on top. I'm not a huge fan of carrot cake, but if you are, you'll definitely like this one! Sadly, I was not too impressed with the ice cream in the middle cupcakes because it just tasted like cake & ice cream.. but a cold, hard cake and ice cream. But I did have a pretty awesome flavor. It was chocolate cake ice cream with Coffee & Choc Chip ice cream!! mmm.... yum yum read more

Found myself nearly lost getting to Belmont Shore. T.G. for GPS! I waited in line for nearly 15 min. But worth the wait for their Red Velvet Cupcake! Depending on the day of the week, some may have a hard time parking. read more

This has been my favorite cupcake spot for sooo long. Their cupcakes are reasonably priced & they taste AMAZING. I've been requesting them for my birthday for the last 5 years. I've tried most of their flavors and none of them disappoint. The key lime is forever my favorite though. They're soft, buttery, and the sweetness isn't overbearing! read more

LOVE IT. I'm usually not one to go into these cupcakery boutiques and go crazy, but for some reason Frosted really stuck to me the first time I heard about it. Ice cream IN a cupcake? That sounds amaaazing! And it was! My boyfriend and I shared a red velvet cream cheese vanilla bean ice cream cupcake and it was heaven. We were already super full from our meal beforehand but we just had to stuff this ice cream cupcake because it was so delicious. I honestly think that it would've been even more heavenly if we were patient enough to let it thaw out a little more but we just had to dig in and it was still really good. Worth it to me for $4.95, especially since it was also like twice the size of a regular cupcake. I also got the caramel chocolate toffee cupcake (I think that was what it was called) and the carrot cupcake to take home. The cupcakes were $2.95 each. They were both SO MOIST. The people I shared them with loved them as well. One of the best cupcakes I've ever eaten. I love the frosting and the little toppings of the toffee on the cupcake too. Yuuuums, I wish they had more locations closer to my home :( But this will do for now since it's not too far from my school, heh read more

They have one gluten-free flavor for the day which was perfect for my gluten-free friend's birthday. I got the birthday box which was extra $ and a cute birthday sign for extra $. A little annoying that they nickel and dime for stuff like that but for a birthday, I'll take it. The cupcake itself was delicious (it's gluten free after all) but not the most amazing gluten-free cake that I've had. I'd love it if they had more gluten-free options and hone that recipe some more. The service was friendly. I'll definitely be back to try their regular cupcakes! 4.5 stars pending taste of regular cupcake. read more

I think this place sharts on Sprinkles. Sprinkles has always been aight, but damn, they ain't even a close second when Frosted is in running. These things stay moister than a shart in the heat of summer. And that cream cheese icing on top is just icing on the cake. Every flavor is a winner. Throw 'em all in a race and it's a gazillion-way tie for first place. First place ribbons all around. I think I could eat about seven of these in one sitting with the assistance of a half-gallon of Lactaid milk. Then I could hop on over to Sprinkles and literally shart on 'em. read more

Cupcake crisis! I had to figure out where to get my boyfriend the most delicious cupcakes for his birthday. I didn't want to drive over to BH to Sprinkles or over to Dots in Pasadena, so I settled on Frosted. I showed up about 1 hour before closing and they still had some good cupcakes left. I ended up purchasing 1 dozen. Very friendly staff. Flavors purchased-- 1. Red velvet 2. Lemon cream (SOOOO GOOD! This one is the best!!) 3. Orange cream 4. Strawberry cream 5. Chocolate (blah- moist, but plain, boring chocolate) 6. Chocolate mint (not moist, but darn good frosting!) 7. Carrot cake The pupcakes (mini cupcakes for dogs) were a bit on the steep side-- they are about the size of a half dollar and cost 1 1/2 half dollars (75 cents). Pricey! read more

WOW! Nutella frosted vanilla cupcake topped off with half a Ferrero Rocher candy. Just wow. I came here with my sister and cousin after our morning gluttony at Creme de la Crepe (as if 3 savory and 2 dessert crepes weren't enough). My cousin had been raving about this place for months but each time I came down for a visit, it was either when they were closed, or our timing was just off... UNTIL NOW. Because we weren't sure when our next visit would be (ok, who am I kidding, we're just greedy), we ordered a whole dozen - 6 nutella cupcakes, 2 cookies and creme, 2 chocolate toffee, and 2 red velvet cupcakes. In our defense, two of us were just trying to get adequate nourishment for our 8 hour drive back to the Bay. Go hard or go home. read more

By no means am I some kind of "cupcake aficionado", but this place is the tops. I've only had Sprinkles and Auntie Em's (in Eagle Rock), but I will say that Frosted is definitely up there in terms of quality. I tried both the strawberry cream cheese cupcake and the chocolate caramel toffee cupcake. The strawberry one had a strawberry gummy on top, what a nice little touch. The toffee one was crazy delicious. The actual cake itself on both cakes were so moist. You could taste the freshness. While some people will complain about the prices, you gotta understand that these prices are the norm for "boutique cupcakes". If you want to save some cash on your cupcakery, you might as well stop by your local Albertson's and get a nice little 12 pack of cakes. But if you're willing to pay a pretty penny for some quality cupcakes, then Frosted is your spot. No more driving all the way to Beverly Hills, Eagle Rock, or Newport Beach for your cupcake fix. I now have yet another reason to visit 2nd Street more often. read more

Frosted Cupcakery rocks! Whenever I am traveling in a city new to me, I try to find a cupcake place to check out, and they all pale in comparison to the Cupcakery. Some are too generic, some taste like muffins (the worst!!), and most look good but taste bland. Frosted Cupcakery is consistently moist and flavorful--my favorite is the Royal White, but I also love their ice cream cupcakes (too big for 1 person--get a friend to share with), and the salted caramel hi-tops. In fact, this place is so great that I didn't even consider any other place when thinking of who to get cupcakes from for my wedding. This place is amazing! read more

Super-cute shop, with no lines like Sprinkles (at least not when I've been there). I think the frosting here is not quite as sweet or overpowering as Sprinkles frosting, which is probably a plus for most people, but not quite as much for someone who's a frosting nut like me. Of the flavors I've tried, my favorite is the vanilla with vanilla frosting. Overall, though I like Sprinkles cupcakes better, I prefer Frosted Cupcakery for the friendly service, the more pleasant experience (you can actually sit down at the counter and eat without a mob of people crowding you out), and the cute packaging. read more

Ooooooooooh SCARY EVIL GOOODNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW ! I was just "knocked out" by the delectable red velvet cupcakes !!! It just screamed melt-in-your-mouth-goodness in every bite!!!!! Fresh, QUALITY ingredients you can taste it! I am a stickler for good baking - you can just "tell" by the first bite if its going to be good or not or just so-so. These were OFF THE CHAIN BABY!!!! I am a die-hard Starbucks girl and I have to say THESE bites of oure "evil-goodness" spoiled me for any other red velvet treat.........sigh yes even Starbucks..... The service is delightful - they don't just treat you like "NEXT !" Its like you are a valued customer and you are taken care of couteously. I have to add they box the cupcakes PROPERLY - with waxed paper in between them - they obviously not only take pride in their baking quality goods but packaging as well I I nearly dropped-on-the-floor when I opened the box at home...they were INTACT !!!) Oooh I'll be back with this "wicked-goodness" why go any place ELSE? I just hope I can tear myself away from the red velvet goodness!!! They are absolutely delectable !!!! Try some you won't be dissapointed!!! read more

Hands down THE best cupcakes in the southland! My absolute favorite one is the Strawberry Cream Cheese...YUM! I forgot who Sprinkles was for the longest time. I wish they had more stores around the LA area! PS The Red Velvet is my hubby's favorite :) My Yorkies also LOVE their PupCakes :) read more

They are easily the best cupcakes in the LA/OC area. I ordered 3 dozen cupcakes for a baby shower and they were delicious and decorated to perfection. They were so accommodating to all of my requests and do not charge extra for customization. The mint chip is personally my favorite. Love that they do gluten-free and change the flavor up every couple months. If you order them by the dozen they let you mix and match flavors and icing. Every time i've been here the service has been great. They are open till 9pm which is great for anyone that's been hitting up happy hour and has a craving for something sweet. Also love that they sell pupcakes for the doggies. read more

Delicious goodness! I had the peanut butter cupcake. Moist, delicious and not a long wait. YUM! My girlfriend had the mint chocolate chip. Can't wait for my next cupcake adventure here! Friendly staff too! :-) read more

Cupcakes were good and shop was trendy leaning to the cutesie side. What did stand out was the option of the ice cream cupcake. I had the red velvet with vanilla ice cream and found it to be almost like a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake. Not bad overall but nothing to take a detour for. read more

Went in today for the first time. Great selection and variety of cupcake flavors. I wanted to be plain and old fashioned so I bought one red velvet cupcake. It was the best red velvet cupcake I ever had. It had the right amount of icing and the cake tasted fresh. The only reason why I gave it a one star off is because of the parking. It was either street parking which is hard to find or the parking lot which charges $1 for every half hour. The parking lot across the street is only 25 cents, wish I knew this earlier. But I will be back to try the other flavors :) read more

Well hello pretty little red cupcake. I'm sorry, but you just look so good I'm going to have to eat you now. I've only tried the red velvet so far, and it was yummy. I don't usually like frosting. I'm one of those people who try to eat as little of it as possible. Yes, I'm one of the people who sometimes even scrape off the frosting. Well, it's definitely not gonna happen at this place. The frosting is part of what's so good about it. YUM. I'll definitely be back, and definitely try some other flavors as well. read more

My friend brought me here one friday afternoon for some cupcakes. I have never seen this place so i was surprised there was a "Sprinkles" like cupcake shop around here. It was a nice and small little cupcake shop with a couple of employees and a front display of cupcakes. It was pretty clean in there and really....white. There were about 7-10 different types of cupcakes to choose from and i saw the toffee chocolate one so i had one of those. So my friend got two of those and 2 other ones. I forgot what it was called but it had chocolate frosting and chocolate sprinkles. It's still hard for me to believe that cupcakes are now running around $3 a pop and that is RIDICULOUS! So while i was eating my cupcake i could say i was...satified. It was alright, a little on the dry side, but not bad. read more

this is my go-to when needing a sweet little treat for friends, parties and just this week... MOM's day! i sent these babies across country and mom was tickled to indulge in the deliciousness. and it warmed both our hearts to reminisce about our walks down 2nd street when she's in town. so u see, its so much more than just a cupcake and they totally get that! wrapped to utter cuteness, not that it stayed that way thru transport. but, its the thought that counts and i have the pics to prove how pretty it looked on its way. i remember this tiny spot when it first opened around the corner from 2nd. happy to see their continued success and i will continue to support this SWEET business! read more

Frosted Cupcakery - perfect goodie to send home to mom! - Bakeries Near Me - Long Beach, California

I know my (designer) cupcakes, trust me-- i'm the cupcake princess. Frosted is not bad, but it's not the best either. They have decent flavors and they are all so pretty, but i'm not a fan of the consistency of the cake and their frosting is overwhelmingly sweet (& I have a huge sweet tooth). Basically, if I'm craving a cupcake, I'd rather drive the extra twenty minutes to Newport Beach to get some Sprinkles than settle for a cupcake at Frosted. Unfortunately, Frosted is the only cupcakery nearby so I don't really have a choice when I need to fill that craving pronto. Also, I was speaking with an employee who told me that some of their cupcakes aren't even made in the store and that they are actually ordered from an outside source. Oh no! :( Maybe that explains why their cake's consistency is not as good as Sprinkles or Kara's? Anyway, stopped by here last week (my second time) to grab my dog a pupcake and to try their ice cream cupcakes. My pup seemed to love the cake (but he loves everything and everyone) and I throughly enjoyed my ice cream cupcake even more than one of their regular cupcakes. I suggest trying those-- they are way better than coldstone's ice cream cupcakes for sure! read more

These cupcakes are delicious!!! I've had several flavors including: Strawberry Lemonade (3.5 stars), Pumpkin (5 stars), Mango Coconut (3 stars), Chocolate with Caramel Toffee Buttercream (5 stars), Chocolate with Nutella Buttercream (5 stars), Red Velvet (4 stars), & Chocolate with mint chip buttercream (4 stars). They're mostly all good. Haven't tried the ice cream ones yet though. Favorite of all time has to be the Toffee one. I just finished one right now & it's perfection. Not too sweet, fluffy, moist, & not too overwhelming. Frosted is perfect for custom orders (call 48 hours in advance) & all of their flavors are online. I've ordered twice from them & they've been great every time. Wonderful customer service & their store is adorable too. 10/10 would recommend getting your cupcakes from Frosted. read more

Someone brought cupcakes from Frosted to work the other day. I've had them before. They are very similar in style (and flavors) to Sprinkles. I actually like Frosted a little better. On occasion, Sprinkles can be a little on the dry side for me. I have had quite a few different flavors from Frosted, and most of them were good--the red velvet and the royal white with Nutella buttercream really stood out. The strawberry was kind of disappointing. The cupcakes are very pleasant looking and the overall appearance/design of the boxes/containers is quite nice. read more

Good cupcakes. I wouldn't say great though. I got a couple vegan ones for myself and they tasted homemade, but the frosting was very funny, although tasted fine. I also got some non-vegan ones for my family. They liked them, but thought the batter had a kind-of eggy texture. They also thought the flavors were all very similar with not too many differences besides the toppings. Also kinda small in size. Sprinkles Cupcakes are bigger and more worth it, in my opinion. Overall, we enjoyed them, but for the price, not really worth it. read more

FYI: IMPORTANT UPDATE. the strawberry cupcake is ONLY the best cupcake ever AFTER ONE DAY. why? because the extreme quantities of butter in the frosting soak out of the frosting and into the cupcake. the butter is what keeps the cupcake moist and soft on day two. but on day one, you can barely taste the strawberry flavor and there is this overly rich buttery taste in the frosting. my friend bought the cupcakes yesterday and when i tried them immediately afterwards, i was sooo disappointed. but then my roommate suggested the day two theory. so i tried them again just now and OMG. delicious. perfect. moist. perfect. did i mention perfect? so, advice. buy strawberry cupcakes. leave on your counter overnight. eat on day two. with a fork. (the BEST way to eat cupcakes.) melt a little. feel your tastebuds do the conga on your tongue. let me know what you think. :) read more
