    Cupcake list

    A fantastic cupcake place. It won cupcake wars and you can see why. Super friendly staff and "helped" us and pick the best cupcake! (We picked by ordering 6) haha!

    Carrot cake, chocolate strawberry, cookie dough, candy bar, vanilla dream, black velvet

    The absolute best cupcakes I've ever had! The cake is so soft, and the icing is fluffy and not super sweet/heavy. The candy bar was amazing, with bits of all sorts of chocolate candy bars on top. The store was really cute and service was friendly and helpful with the day's selection and ingredients. My son requested cupcakes for his birthday, and HappyCakes more than delivered on his request!

    I stumbled upon this place after a trip to Walmart. What a joy! Staff were friendly, prices are very reasonable. I bought one of every flavor. The cupcakes were fresh and just the right amount of sweetness.

    Housewarming cupcakes

    I bought a variety of cupcakes for a housewarming party and they were all delicious!!! I bought them the day before and they were still so fresh and soft and perfect. The flavors were delicious and I will be back for every occasion even if it's just a single treat for me!

    There's not much more to say that hasn't already been said: these cupcakes rock!!! Every. Single. Cupcake. It's pretty miraculous that every flavor tastes exactly like what it's named...and every bite is so very moist....and the icing is so fluffy...and the additional toppings (or not) are perfectly deliciously combined. The staff are always friendly, and every once in a while, they run out of some flavors by early afternoon - so you may want to go early to secure specific flavors. Another caution: parking can also be tight at times in this small strip plaza. The BIGGEST caution: You will get addicted, for sure. Even their box packaging is pretty!

    Morehead City, NC. What an amazing place for a cupcake! We've been here numerous times, and the service has always been 100% spot-on and friendly. These aren't your run of the mill dry cupcakes loaded with frosting. These are moist, through and through, with a bunch of flavors to choose from. My compliments to this business! Keep rockin' it!

    Black velvet, coffee, banana creme, turtle, cherry creme, and coconut chocolate.

    Delicious cupcakes and cookies! The oatmeal chocolate chip is a must! Huge cookie for $3.75! The half a dozen for $15 is a steal! It is only $3 a cupcake so getting a half a dozen is the way to go. Our favorite was the banana creme but everything was delicious. The cupcakes were moist and not too sweet. It actually reminded me of Molly's cupcakes in Chicago. Huge comparison and compliment if you've ever had Molly's cupcakes!

    Light, fluffy, and moist cupcakes with right amount of sweetness. Cute little shop with nice staff.

    a variety of cupcakes

    I yelped "desserts" and found this cupcakery. Great reviews and the fact that they won Cupcake Wars made me hop in the car for a cupcake run. I would normally prefer a slice of cake to a cupcake because cupcakes often can be dry or have too much frosting, but these were like mini cakes and were quite yummy. The cake was moist with a nice crumb (not too dense, not crumbly) and the frosting was light and fluffy and not too sugary sweet. The cupcakes are little works of art - beautifully piped frosting and decorative touches. If I was hosting a party or reception, these cupcakes would be a delicious, elegant touch. All of the cupcake varieties looked delicious so we got four to try - black velvet, carrot cake, key lime, and chocolate strawberry. Our favorite of the four was the chocolate strawberry (chocolate cake with strawberry frosting). The store is clean and modern. We went in the late afternoon and it was empty and they were out of two varieties. One of the reviews I'd read mentioned this could happen, but there were still plenty to pick from. A review also mentioned cookies but they didn't have any available. The lady working was very nice.

    2 each of Vanilla Dream, Black Velvet, & Fluffernutter

    Favorite cupcakes in the USA, and I've been to 48/50 states! You really can't get a bad cupcake here. Some of our favorite cupcakes are the Vanilla Dream, Black Velvet, Turtle, Fluffernutter, Chocolate Caramel Cream, Vanilla Latte, & Strawberry Lemonade. They won Cupcake Wars, and if you try them, you'll see why! The staff are all great too! We like to take our cupcakes to the Beaufort waterfront and look for dolphins and wild horses while we enjoy our treats.

    A half dozen todays flavors

    This is the best cupcakes in NC hands down. They won cupcake wars for a reason. The customer service is always good as the employees are always super nice and polite. They also have some really good cookies as well.

    cute lil box they came in

    Gorgeous and amazing cupcakes. Where I'm from you can get cupcakes for $7 that aren't nearly as moist and delicious as these are. And only $3 a cupcake(they're huge!). Watched them on Cupcake Wars and they're a much deserved cupcakery. Definitely will be back soon to try more flavors! Thanks guys!!

    Amazing cupcakes!! My brother brings a dozen every time he goes to Morehead, and I always look forward to eating them. The flavors change daily, and I appreciate that they have a monthly calendar of the flavors that are available each day on their website. I'm usually not one for cupcakes but I have to admit I am a sucker for these. They are moist and fluffy without being cloyingly sweet, and the frosting is to die for. Also a huge bonus - they stay fresh even after freezing. You know what they say... a cupcake a day keeps the blues away (probably not the doctor though). Do yourself a favor, and stop by!
