We'll definitely go back here on our next trip to Wilmington. The displays of cupcakes were beautiful. Each one is individually packaged, so everything is very neat and protected.

It feels futuristic and reminded me of Japan with how efficient and easy it was. I tried the Birthday Cake, Caramel Macchiato, and Cookies and Cream cupcakes. Each one was fantastic--the cakes were moist, and both the whipped and buttercream frostings were delicious by their own merits. The Birthday Cake was classic, Cookies and Cream was rich and indulgent, but the Caramel Macchiato stole the show with its spot-on coffee flavor. Overall, everything was fun, convenient, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

You only think you've had good carrot cake until this place showed up on our google search. We…read morecelebrated my father's birthdays in Wilmington (we're from Texas) and we were blown away by how decadent the carrot cake was. Everything tasted like it was made from scratch and they even used custom colored icing on the top to make it special. The icing tasted so fresh, not the store-bought fake flavor you can get from a grocery store. 10/10 - we also had the key lime pie and banana pudding (because, why not) and I still can't find the socks I was wearing when I tried them because they were blown off. Amazing, we will be back!

We were out running errands, and we were in the mood for cookies. We saw this cute bakery in a…read moresmall strip mall many times in our travels and stopped in. It was late afternoon, so most of the case was empty. That is usually a sign of tasty treats. The lady behind the counter talked about the items in the case, the specialty (banana pudding) that's made from scratch, and how amazing the cakes are. We bought two chocolate chunk cookies to enjoy later. But, we will definitely come back to try something else next time.

OMG, Cape Fear Rum Cake, at 114 North Front Street in Wilmington, has become one of those places we…read morecan't stay away from. We don't stop in as often as we're in town (our loss, honestly) but it has never disappointed in all the years we've been coming here. The rum cakes are moist, and the flavor range is wide, gluten-free included. Usually the owner is there, or someone in the family. They take real pride in the work - and they should - cause it's incredible! The cakes make good gifts, too. Each one gets vacuum-sealed, so it stays fresh for up to six months. If you're one of those folks who say "I usually never have rum cake unless I'm on vacation in the Carribbean"....change that and come here!

The cake was fixed at the other location and I went there as well to speak with them regarding pick up. Both locations are wonderful inside smells so good I could barely contain myself from getting cookies and cupcakes! I was there on a mission lol so I did leave with 2 chocolate cupcakes and the order for our son's cake. If you want a professional cake done this is the place. Keep in mind you pay for what you get and the cake was totally amazing! The graphics and all point on for our son's commission gathering. I want to thank each one from both locations for doing this cake for us! I highly recommend them both locations! Just a note for cakes made you'll need to go over to there Kerr avenue location. Outstanding Apple Annie's hands down the best in town!

The only reason you didn't get 5 stars is because I ordered 15 pastries and the girl behind the counter was squishing them in small paper bags until I caught her and had her put them in boxes.

There are quite a few outdoor tables, though. Tried the Sinful caramel pecan carrot cake cupcake. The caramel was put on the cupcake after I selected it. It was very good, tender, sweet. I especially liked the small chocolate toffee cookie topping. The cupcake was very expensive, a gourmet cupcake price at $4.50. It was on the smaller side. Maybe if it was a little bit bigger, then I would've been more satisfied. So probably not a place I would frequent often just because of the price. But boy was the cupcake good! The owner was very nice to talk to.
