So happy to discover this amazing cupcake shop through the fundraiser for Rowan's mobility van. They are right in Columbia, near Victoria Gastro Pub and down the street from the Target in Dobbin Center. As a dessert lover, I give these cupcakes a 10/10! They are SO moist, fluffy, generously sized, and not too sweet. We loved them so much that we went back the very next day for more! Our favorites were the Rowan Special, Carrot Cake, and Vanilla, but honestly, every single flavor was so good. They also have ice cream and make custom cakes. It means so much to see a local business not only make amazing desserts, but also give back and support Rowan and our community Definitely recommend stopping by! read more

This spot had almost everything. Ice cream, cupcakes, cakes, or banana pudding. One stop shop for me so I enjoyed it. Their cupcakes are delicious and the cake is soft. The banana pudding was excellent as well. The banana pudding ice cream might be better than the actual banana pudding. read more

Came here for first time to pick up some cupcakes for my work colleagues as a Friday afternoon pick me up treat- the place is bright and roomy and very simply decorated - but they don't need fancy they just need cupcakes! they had tons of flavors and the man helping me was friendly and affable. I did buy some of the fundraiser cupcakes as well as a bunch of others- everyone at work raved about the freshness and moistness of the cakes - I had the chocolate on chocolate which was yummy. The only downside is they are very pricey. read more

I called several times over a few days inquiring about an order of custom cupcakes to celebrate my coworker and never heard back. Each time I called I was told that someone would get back to me and no one did. read more

I saw Zen Zan's Tiktok and couldn't believe I didn't know about this bakery. I was the first customer when the doors opened on Saturday morning. I confess, I was skeptical that the cupcakes were fresh. The customer service was nice. Ordered a box of 4: Oreo, yellow with chocolate buttercream, chocolate with chocolate ganache and red velvet. Cost was a little less than $20. Each cupcake was delicious. The red velvet was the best I've had in a long time. Super moist! My daughter loved it but she's not a big icing fan so she scraped it off. I thought it tasted delicious. Next time, I'm getting banana pudding. read more

Customer service was 10/10 and cupcakes were 10/10. I felt for something sweet while I was in the area and this place came up. I'm so glad I decided to pop in. I really liked the photos in front of each cupcake describing exactly the flavor and toppings. I would 100% visit again whenever I'm in the area. read more

Needed a quick sweet fix and was recommended to try Icing on the Cake. So glad I tried it! I had the strawberry crunch ice cream. It is made in store, and boy was it good. The ice cream was rich and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. I also bought a key lime coconut cupcake. It was delicious! Soft and the icing was just right! The owner was so nice and polite! Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Wowsers!!! I'm not a huge fan of sweets, but I love a good cupcake. I recently discovered icing on the cake after grabbing one from my nail salon right next door. After trying the mini cupcake I knew I'd have to stop in to icing on the cake to try some more on my next visit to my nail salon. All I have to say is...these cupcakes are phenomenal. They have a variety of fun and classic flavors. I went with the red velvet, as that's always my go-to. The cake was delicious, moist and the frosting was the perfect cream cheese frosting you'd expect on a red velvet cupcake. The cupcakes are a perfect size. Well worth the $4.50. This will most definitely be my go-to bakery. read more

I went in around 5:45 and to my surprise they had a ton of mini cupcakes in different flavors! I couldn't decide on which I wanted, and selected four, but the gentleman gave me the other one as well! They were also INCREDIBLY soft and moist, which is pretty awesome at the end of the day! They tasted great, and i will be back again. Wish I lived closer! read more

If you are in the mood for some great cupcakes. O was heading to a cookout and was tasked with getting some cupcakes. Icing on the cake is near my house so I decided to give them a try and I am definitely a fan. The parking situation is dicey but they do have some spaces reserved for their customer. The lot is shared with a few other businesses and one is a popular bar so just be prepared. When I came in it was towards the end of the day. The owner was actually there. He greeted me and told me about the selections they had remaining for the day. Inside of the shop it was quite clean. The owner said they prepare the cupcakes daily and the selections do change up. I got a dozen and was on my way. When I got to cookout they were a hit. Everyone loved them. Before I knew it there were only two left: I ended up trying the chocolate one. It was delicious. The icing was sweet but not overwhelming. The cake portion was moist and fluffy. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors. read more

2.1.24 This shop recently opened about a 1.5 months ago. They are located by Victoria's Gastro Pub, McDonald's and Exxon. They sells cupcakes, cakes, pup cakes, ice cream, cookies, and bottled beverages. I came on a Thursday night fifteen minutes before closing so there were only three cupcake flavors left. That's why I knocked off a star. I purchased an ooey gooey cupcake and a scoop of the Snickers ice cream. The ice cream was creamy and rich. Perhaps it was soft serve as it wasn't as firm as ice cream I typically eat. My husband thought the portion was generous for a single scoop. Initially he wasn't going to have any as he is trying to lose a few pounds, but one bite and he was hooked. I haven't eaten the cupcake, but it looks tasty. The associate who served me was really nice. She greeted me upon entering and thanked me when I left. My only suggestion would be to provide chairs and have napkins, lids, and spoons accessible for patrons. That would keep the line moving when they are busy. I definitely plan to come back to try their other cupcake flavors, cookie & cream ice cream, and cookies. So happy to have another bakery to buy sweets from when I have a craving. Note: They are closed on Sundays. read more

I ordered half a dozen cupcakes via DoorDash to celebrate hubby's birthday and was pleasantly surprised! The cakes were moist in the inside while still maintaining their integrity outside, and they were not overly sweet so you could taste the flavors coming through. My favorite was the carrot cake, but honestly they were all so good! The price was also reasonable, plus there was a little discount through the app. Definitely worth a try for you'd like to try something sweet and new. read more

I was craving a cupcake and this place was open late for a bakery, so I decided to give it a try. The place was pretty large but a lot of it wasn't being used so it felt a bit cold and empty. Upon entering, I was greeted by the employee. I came around an hour before closing and they had a good selection left still. I decided on a strawberry cupcake. I also was thinking of trying the ice cream, but the employee had already boxed my cupcake up and went to checkout. One cupcake was 4.50, which I feel like is a bit high for a basic cupcake without any toppings/decorations. The cupcake itself was fluffy and soft. The frosting was pretty sweet for my taste, but I do prefer things less sweet. I'm not sure what they use for the flavoring, but I wish there was more of a prominent fresh strawberry flavor. I was personally in the mood for the kind of cupcake that was dense and moist, so maybe strawberry wasn't the right move. Maybe I'd have been more satisfied with something like a red velvet. Overall though, the cupcake tasted similar to what you could make with a box mix. It was okay but it didn't blow me away. I would give this place another chance, and maybe I'd find a flavor that I'd like better. I'm also curious to know if the ice cream is made in house and if it's any good (I'm eyeing that banana pudding flavor!) read more

These cupcakes were so delicious- way tastier than I expected based on us just randomly finding this place! We found this place while going to dinner nearby, and then decided to come back for cupcakes the following week. We got six different flavors and they were all spot-on. Their website still needs some work, so it was hard to tell much about the place beforehand, but we are so glad we gave them a try. Their website says they do custom cakes but doesn't have much information- based on the cupcakes, we would definitely want to give them a try for that in the future! read more

Cupcake was still frozen in the middle so obviously not baked fresh. It tasted like box cake

Got three different flavors and man oh man they were delicious. The peanut butter chocolate, the hostess cupcake and the traditional yellow and milk chocolate. The first thing you notice is how big these cupcakes are and then if course they moist, yummy flavor. The frostings are thick and sweet, the perfect addition to the already perfect cupcake in bottom. I love 30 minutes away and I won't hesitate to go back there just for these treasures. Go treat yourself. read more

Best cupcake I ever had! We ate it before we left the parking lot. Soooo moist and fresh!

I wanted a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting, they didn't have it, but the man behind the counter said, "let me make you one"! Went into the back areas and came out within a minute with a beautiful chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting, it was DELICIOUS, sooooo moist and the frosting has real vanilla beans you could see. I then ordered a vanilla with vanilla, and carrot cake. Both were sooo moist! My favorite turned out to be carrot cake! Customer service alone would make me go back , But the cupcakes are Great and I highly recommend this place! read more

I do extensive "research" on cupcakes and ice cream (you're welcome) and I am telling you, this place is amazing. The cupcakes are somehow both dense and fluffy, the icing sweet and delicate. And the ice cream! I will be working my way through every flavor, but so far I can say that the Creamsicle is the best I've ever had. The orange and vanilla each came through distinctly yet blended tastes as well. Icing on the Cake is a DELIGHT and if you haven't tried them yet, you are missing out! read more

This place is right near my office and has been on my radar for a while. I stopped in for a quick treat. Nice, clean spacious store and the guy who helped me was kind and pleasant. They have a nice selection of cupcakes and the presentation is super cute. I had a strawberry cupcake. It was perfection! Moist cake and mouthwatering icing.$4.50 per cupcake but these things are huge! You can split one between 2 people. I got a peanut butter cup cupcake for my work bestie. She loved it! I highly recommend and will be back. read more

These cupcakes are THE BEST! My daughter loves the vanilla cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting. I have tried nearly all of them. They are always moist, flavorful... simply delicious! Even better it's a small business. I am all about supporting our small businesses! I hope this one will be around a hundred years from now! read more

Have gone twice and both times cupcakes were excellent. Cake is light and fluffy and icing is not overpowering. Will definitely go back. read more

Wow yum! I tried a chocolate with chocolate buttercream and it was fantastic. A little pricey but the cupcakes are large.

Delicious cupcakes!! Best in the area. Highly recommend you check them out! We have visited on two occasions and have both the regular size and mini size. Both times the cakes were light and fluffy in several decadent flavors. read more
