I was disappointed with these cupcakes. They looked really cute in the case. I couldn't wait to try some out. I found out they were $3.50 each and though yikes, this place isn't even in Boston, these better be good. I chose a red velvet and a marble. The first thing I noticed on the red velvet was that the cake was more of a pink color, not really the dark red. Hence, it didn't really taste like a velvet, it was kind of bland. The frosting was like shortening, whipped very high and dense. What I didn't like was that they hollowed out some of the cupcake to add more frosting to the middle. The frosting was already 3 inches high and hard, it was ridiculous. I want a cup cake..not a frosting cup. The marble cake was a little bit better cake wise. I was able to taste the chocolate and vanilla. The frosting on top and the hollowed out middle was again a huge disappointment. For $3.50 they were a big rip off. The ratio was 85% frosting, 15% cake. I've had so much better. At least they have other desserts and ice cream to keep them afloat. Service was good but I definitely have had better, less priced boutique cupcakes.

If you have a sweet craving for ice cream, this is the place to come. Award winning ice cream and cupcakes, fast and good service, on a hot day in Rockport is the perfect dream like vacation spot. They have multiple cones and so many choices, I felt like a child again. Transported to ice cream heaven with lots of Jimmies! Honestly for me, Jimmies made the ice cream shine like no other ice cream I have ever had! Must go back to try a cupcake! Soon I promise!

I've been to Rockin' Cupcakes a couple of times and I have to say that these are the best cupcakes I have ever had. Today I tried the Elvis cupcake which was a banana and chocolate chip cupcake with a peanut butter frosting. Typically cupcakes with peanut butter are very heavy but these cupcakes were light, fluffy, moist and just delicious. It literally had the best flavor combinations I've ever had in a cupcake. I almost went back for another one it was that good! While I was eating it, I also wondered if a chemist made this particular cupcake because it was literally the most perfect cupcake I've ever had. Yup, i'm a sugar-aholic and so I died and gone to heaven when I took a bite of this cupcake! I also tried a confetti type cupcake which is basically a traditional vanilla cupcake with frosting and sprinkles and that was also delightful. I've also previously tried a cookie dough cupcake and that was just ridiculously amazing. Cupcakes are quite popular right now and it is amazing what places will charge for a cupcake, but Rockin' is by far the best. I would absolutely recommend these cupcakes!

So it was $3.50 for a red velvet cupcake (pictured) which is on the pricey side, but being in Rockport, in that little village - It's well worth it and a great quick bite. Oh, and there is a secret hidden little dollop of frosting in the center of the cupcake! Why, hello, you :) Although, if you're with me.. it'd be the cupcake, the an ice cream, and a hotdog and clam strips. Dammit.

I can't say enough good things about this place. I called around to all the bakeries in Gloucester to find a birthday cake or cupcakes for my cousins wife's birthday. It was nearly 5pm as I am located in California where it's only 2pm and since I was so last minute about this everything was closed. Luckily Rockin' Cupcakes was open because Ana answered and helped me put together an awesome selections of cupcakes. They even delivered it within an hour and a half of placing the order!! Not bad for a Saturday night during quarantine times. She also wrote a little birthday note for us and threw some candles on top. From the pictures they look like they are amazing quality and very fresh and the customers service I received was top shelf. My cousin and his wife loved them and said they are really delicious. Can't wait to come visit my family and try them for myself. This was a Hail Mary to look like a decent in-law that paid off amazingly. Very personal touch to this order so without even trying them I can already recommend them to anyone in the Rockport/Gloucester area. Thanks again!!

Black Razz! yum!

I was on vacation in Rockport for a week in August, while walking around town I couldn't help myself to stop in the shop to check it out! I am such a cupcake fan and spoiled by Trophy's cupcakes in Seattle. When I saw all the display of the cupcakes, I seriously was in awe and didn't know which one to get! The cupcakes looked amazing and colorful! After contemplating for a few moments, I went with Black Razz. This wonderful chocolate cupcake was filled with raspberry frosting in the inside as well as on the top of the cake. The frosting on the top was also drizzled with chocolate. The cupcake was good but little on the sweet side; I needed tea or something after eating that! It is definitely a treat to have while shopping in town! :-)

I think we should've gotten cupcakes, but we got ice cream instead. And it was solid ice cream. Good, sweet, cold, creamy.

So this is an obscure baby boomer culture reference, but do you remember an old Shirley MacLaine…read morecomedy where she kept marrying men who died in comical ways while she got richer and richer? One such man was Pinky Benson, a dancer who becomes a movie star and has everything in his Hollywood mansion painted pink including Shirley. That's what came to mind when I entered this subterranean shop. Everything was pink. What a happy place to be. Other cupcake bakeries will try to wow you with their diversity and elaborate muffin top decorations, but this place offers only one kind, a classic vanilla cupcake with a generous dollop of pink buttercream frosting (Photo 8). They come in two sizes, the $5 Classic and the $2.50 Mini (Photo 5). Jamie W and I bought two of each, scampered to our Airbnb, and devoured them. Pinky would've been furious because there wasn't a trace of pink left. CUPCAKES - 5 stars...when you do one kind right, what else do you need?...also eliminates idiots who can't make a choice...am I right, ladies? AMBIANCE - 5 stars...if Pinky Benson came back from the dead, here he would be SERVICE - 4.5 stars...sweet TOTAL - 5 stars...the ideal ending to an evening of debauchery in P-Town RELATED - Exploring Provincetown? Here's my collection of places l've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3MzCyr8

They have one item & 1 item only, in 2 sizes - a yellow cake cupcake with pink buttercream icing…read more Yet this place is a must go-to. The BEST Cupcakes I've ever had and completely consistent every time I've ever gone there. They're open until Midnight for your late night snacking needs & they're DELICIOUS!!! Can't say enough about how good these little pink iced treats are but you NEED TO GO & EAT THESE!!!

I stopped in the other day to get some vegan cupcakes to bring to a dinner party. They had a large…read moreselection of flavors and the cupcakes all looked beautiful. The cupcakes tasted amazing, too! The cake part wasn't super-moist, so it held its shape and tasted great, but the frosting was the real star. The frosting on the lemon cupcake was intensely lemony, and the chocolate frosting was rich and smooth. I and the other non-vegans at the party couldn't tell that they were vegan, and our host was delighted to know that there is a bakery nearby that caters to her needs. I'll definitely be coming back to try the regular cupcakes soon!

I'm back, again, to clarify. I wish I didn't have to leave a * to initiate a review but won't let…read moreme proceed without giving @ least 1 *. In response to Shironda W's (owner of Cupcake Therapy) she needs to take responsibility & update her forms or state the delivery policy under "Terms" on website. I was not aware (not stated on the website) the driver is not allowed to leave delivery with "random people" @ any hospital. When I instructed delivery be left with a specific floor (the cupcakes were for everyone working on that floor), I should have been contacted prior to delivery if a specific name of someone to accept delivery was required (I was not contacted). These cupcakes were not for a patient (certainly would be a very hungry patient) but for the nursing/administrative staff. Number listed on form was general number for Beth Israel Deaconess, yes, but again, if driver asked where Stoneman 5 was there would not be a problem. Again, read the information prior to delivery so driver can have any questions clarified & this problem could have been a non-issue & delivery could have been made on date & time it was promised. Clearly not the fault of the purchaser that there is a flaw in the design/content of the on-line order form. Having my contact number listed only under the billing that driver does not have, not my fault. Very easy to blame the customer (who will NEVER be a repeat customer) instead of taking responsibility for your mistake. Regarding not receiving a voice mail from me. I called when I saw an email (again no phone call) stating deliver was not made. Had you took the time to call me right after notified delivery could not be initiated, perhaps you would have done the right thing and returned that day with cupcakes while they were fresh. I called during business hours in hopes of speaking to a human being but no answer so left a VM. Very easy to put blame on customer & not take responsibility. Certainly makes me appreciate companies that do right when an issues arises. Do better for the next person!!!!!!
