Our amazing office manager purchased these for a special birthday party at our office. She told me that the owner hand delivered them! They were so yummy. They do something with the frosting and the flavors. The actual cupcake is pretty pedestrian but the frosting alone is worth it. Everyone really enjoyed them, so much so that the birthday honoree decided to take the leftovers home! read more

First of all, Scott is an absolute gem of a human. From our very first interaction, he was warm, responsive, and genuinely excited to help make my daughter's 9th birthday special. He was totally flexible and ready to bake whatever combination of cupcakes we needed. I took a bit longer than planned to finalize the flavors and quantity (classic busy-parent moment ), but Scott didn't miss a beat. Even with the event date quickly approaching, he graciously moved forward and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. We ordered 40 cupcakes--10 each of four different flavors--and every single one was outstanding. These Kick-Ass Cupcakes absolutely live up to their name. They were universally loved by everyone, from the birthday girl to every last guest. Thank you so much, Scott, for taking such wonderful care of us. We'll absolutely be back, and recommending you to everyone we know. read more

Scott was amazing to work with! He accommodated a last minute (under 24 hours) custom order and delivered exactly what was requested and more. The communication was prompt, pick up is quick, and most importantly, the cupcakes were tasty! I got the classic chocolate and raspberry vanilla and both cakes are moist while the frosting were delicious and did not have an artificial taste you would get from any storebought cupcakes. Highly recommend ordering from him. read more

Delicious cupcakes that are not overly sweet. I ordered four flavors with 6 cupcakes each flavor: BananaNilla Cream - I was surprised these were my favorite because I'm normally neutral toward banana. These had a delicious cream on the inside and vanilla wafer on top. S'mores - Fantastic presentation with the real chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow on top. Red Velvet - Moist and delicious like the others. Raspberry Vanilla - Nice fruit flavor with a bit of tart from the raspberry. I asked Scott what flavors he recommends I try in the future and he replied that it's difficult to answer because all of the flavors are based off his childhood favorites, but he named two to try -- Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Crunch (Oreo) and Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter. read more

The birthday potluck event was at noon and everyone enjoyed the cupcakes. For pickup, we arrived 10mins late due to traffic and he was still very flexible. Would highly recommend these cupcakes for your next event or a family or friends get together. He made pickup so smooth and quick. Scott is your GoTo person for cupcakes!! Thank you again! read more

These are officially my favorite cupcakes in the South Bay. No one comes close; they seriously kick ass. Baked fresh with TLC in a home kitchen, these cupcakes are incredibly moist, light, fluffy, packed with flavor but not overly sweet. The only challenge with no store front is it requires some pre-planning. But Scott is a master baker so reach out to see what magic he can pull off. Picking up the cupcakes we're a breeze. Scott was very communicative over text and swiftly brought my order to my car. It felt like I was visiting a friend. On to the cupcakes. I ordered: - Strawberry whip: my Korean mom approved! Super light, fluffy, moist, and gentle sweetness. My toddler and parents loved this one. - Strawberry lemonade: Let's start with the smell...HEAVENLY! The strawberry and lemon comes through your nose first. Flavors are mostly in the frosting but the cupcake itself is tangy and so moist. I love the cake. There's something about the way the frosting is twirled that looks so elegant and beautiful. It's topped with half a strawberry; so cute. - S'mores: This one surprised us all. It looks like it would be very decadent but it's still light and moist with just the right amount of sweetness for my liking. The toppings were so generous, picture-perfect, and so yummy--s'mores in a single, small bite! Will definitely get this again, along with the above. Watching everyone try the cupcakes was also entertaining. Our eyes lit up followed by a lot of "mmm"s lol. Can't wait for my next order and to try more flavors. Highly rated--to the moon! read more

I was in a total panic on the day of my niece's birthday party, scrambling to find cupcakes and cookies last minute. I stumbled across Kick Ass Cupcakes website on Google and decided to text them in a desperate attempt to save the day. To my surprise, I got an immediate response! Not only did he text back right away, but he also called me to make sure everything was squared away. Within no time, I had an order placed for 30 cupcakes. The best part? I casually mentioned that I was also on cookie duty (talk about procrastination) and asked if he happened to have any on hand. To my astonishment, he baked two dozen fresh cookies for me that same morning. And as if that wasn't enough, he packaged everything up and met me within an hour to hand-deliver the goodies. I was able to take them straight to the party, and let me tell you, they were an absolute hit! Everyone loved the flavors and kept asking where the cupcakes and cookies were from. I made sure to leave his card next to the treats, and people were actually taking pictures of it. Everyone could not stop talking about the flavors, freshness, and overall kick ass cupcakes! Kick Ass Cupcakes truly lived up to its name and saved my butt that yesterday. I'm beyond grateful and will definitely be coming back for all my future party needs. Thank you for making me look like the best aunt ever! read more

Let's talk about Kick Ass Cupcakes. These aren't your average cupcakes - they're absolutely delicious! Moist and flavorful, each cupcake is a little masterpiece. And the decorations? Beautiful and uniform, just like you'd hope for. But the real kicker? Scott was a total gem! He saved me from a major birthday disaster. A celebration snuck up on me faster than I'd like to admit, and Scott came through in the clutch. Big thanks to Kick Ass Cupcakes for making the day so special! read more

Had a great experience with Scott/Kick Ass Cupcakes. We hired Scott for a primary cat themed birthday cake and an assortment of mini-cupcakes, including a vegan option. All of the cakes looked and tasted amazing, including the vegan option. (Most of the vegan cakes I've tried previously were very dry, but Scott's were not dry at all). We also got great feedback from our guests...some of them very tough customers. Will definitely call on Scott for future baking needs. read more

SCOTT IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD - my coworker and I were given the last minute task of a big cupcake order for a client that had to be delivered by end of day. Things were looking bleak, when we stumbled upon Kick Ass Cupcakes and were given the best customer service of all time, and a last minute order of the most beautiful, fresh cupcakes you've ever seen!! I don't live in San Jose, but anybody who does should look truly nowhere else - this is the place to be. read more

I usually am not much of a cake/cupcake lover, but a friend of mine shared her Kick Ass Cupcakes with me and wow!!! I officially have a sweet tooth!! Hands down the BEST cupcakes I've had. Worth every dollar spent. The quality of the cupcakes is phenomenal and his decorating skills are ON POINT. I will be ordering my daughters birthday cupcakes with you. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your work. read more

Absolutely awesome cupcakes and Scott definitely gives 150%! I ordered last minute for my daughter and he went way beyond the call of duty to make sure that she received the order the next day even though he had a very busy delivery schedule. T The cupcakes are not only hand crafted with love but are beautiful and super yummy as well. Love this small business! A+++++ read more

My absolute go-to for special treats in the Bay Area. Scott is a pleasure to work with, making each order a breeze, and our recipients cannot get enough of his incredible cupcakes. Highly, highly recommend for anyone needing a cupcake vendor for birthdays, events, corporate gifting, or just because. read more

I most recently ordered cupcakes (vanilla with strawberry filling, banana, and lemon and their fruit tarts) with buttercream frosting. He was able to customize the frosting on the cupcakes to match the baby shower colors and also included edible baby shower toppings (rattles, bottles, baby toys...etc). Lindley is easy to communicate with. From the start of our email communication, he responded in a very timely manner and made the ordering process so easy. On the day of the event, he dropped off the cupcakes and tarts early, which worked out for me and I was able to set up the dessert table with plenty of time. Overall, I had a great experience. I highly recommend him for your events whether they are small or large. I will definitely be ordering from him again for future events.

Lori makes the cupcakes in her home, the minimum order is a dozen...she can deliver or you can pick them up. And the cupcakes...they are works of art. They look beautiful, you don't want to touch them and disturb their perfection. Until you eat the first one and you have the delicious flavor of chocolate with a 'high hat' of marshmallow inside, or carrot cake, or vanilla and coconut...and then, instead of not wanting to disturb the visual perfection, you will have to fight the urge to dive face-first into the arrangement of cupcakes and devour them until they are all gone! I am drooling as I think about these cupcakes...ahhhhhhhhhh.

The vanilla w/choc buttercream was comparable to kara's cupcakes. The party fave was red velvet. The choc w/choc buttercream was ok. my fave at kara's cupcakes is chocolate velvet - must try! I give Little Miss Cupcake 4 stars in taste and 4 stars in customer service. Lori was quick in replying via phone & email but I don't think she understood what I wanted. I was quite disappointed in the decorations and what they cost. I expected more for what we paid. The "toppers" were not at all like the photos I sent as examples. If we order again, we'll skip all decorations and do it ourselves. It's wasn't worth paying $0.75 a topper. For the price of the toppers we could have bought another dozen cupcakes. Great cupcakes but not the best.

Also, she was so accommodating by making this cake on a Thursday when her availability is strictly weekends. However, if I knew that asking for an accommodation would mean my needs wouldn't have been met I would have looked elsewhere. I ordered a 7 inch buttercream cake but instead received fondant which went uneaten. I went back to review the invoice she sent and I realized there was a portion that said fondant but it also said buttercream so I just ignored it because I had no problems with the previous cakes I had received. This cake was for my friends son so I was so sad when they complained about the toughness of the fondant. I should have contacted her prior to make sure it would be buttercream but I believe she also could have let me know she would have been diverging from what I requested. Especially because $220 isnt cheap :(. The inside of the cake was great!

~Catered Heavenly Goodness~…read more I have had the chance to try Joanne's deliciously baked treats on two separate occasions and I want to say she's got the hands of God when it comes to baking. -----TASTE------ I tried her mini mango macarons (which btw, are perfect for baby showers because they're mini) and the mango cream filling was one of the best I've ever tasted. It's probably because she uses real fruit and high quality ingredients. I have also tried her red velvet cupcakes. They were moist and ugh, the chocolate chips inside each bite made them even more perfect, if possible. Just thinking about these makes my mouth water as I'm writing this review. -----LOOK------ Joanne works very hard at making sure her customers are happy with their order, even working well into the morning hours to make sure each and every item is perfect. Everything is professionally done with a touch of homemade goodness, which gives it that unique flare that lets other people know the pastries weren't ordered en mass at a pastry shop down the street, but done by a professional baker. Her baking skills are very versatile. If you can imagine it, she can bake it. If I ever get married one day, I know who I will be contacting to bake for my wedding.
