    Cupcakes
    Cathy C.

    Long time fan of That One Cupcake Place. Today they showed a lemon drop sponge cake cupcake I just had to try. It was amazingly moist, full of lemon flavor in the cake and icing and not too sweet overall. Highly recommend!

    These are by far the best cupcakes I've had! They also have Vegan, Gluten Free and Vegan-GF cupcakes! There are new exciting flavors everyday, so it never gets boring. I've tried so many flavors, can't pick one to recommend. Get an assortment of flavors in a 6 pack or a 12 pack.

    My roommate in college got me started on these cupcakes and they are just great. This was my first time stopping there myself. I went past the building on the road and had to turn around because the sign is really small and unless you really know where your going you'll miss it. I grabbed a 6 pack of cupcakes and paid $14. I live for peanut butter in a cupcake so I got the monster cupcake and it just does not live up to its name. The peanut butter frosting is very dry, with oatmeal pieces and reeses pieces on top. The actual cake part was strange. It tasted more like cornbread then cake, but sweet. Still have 5 more, but I hope they get better. Update tried the brownie batter cupcake and the frosting is perfect with brownie bits and tastes perfect, but the cupcake is lacking something.

    I was so excited to stop in That One Cupcake Place but they only had a few different cupcakes available. We inquired if there were more in back but were told no. I absolutely love the almond cupcakes and the vanilla cupcakes! The only option for vanilla was gluten free which were $4 per cupcake. We bought a six pack for $14 and had to purchase the gluten free cupcakes separate. The shop is beautiful and inviting. The cupcakes are absolutely delicious! We just wish we weren't so restricted.

    I learned of That One Cupcake Place from fellow Yelper Keyla. Man she hit it out of the park with this cupcake place. What That One Cupcake Place does right is make the most awesome cupcakes in the universe using fresh ingredients with Fabulous Frosting! I got a selection of cupcakes for my crew and we all sampled each one. Cupcakes are happiness wrapped in parchment paper. I will say I had a couple chocolate cupcakes and the cake was not as moist. I can tell you the Lemon Raspberry was a home run. Wow, the cake was so amazing, a flavor party explosion in your mouth. Pure awesomeness! The Birthday Cake was just as amazing. I also tried the French Toast, Cookie Dough which has amazing frosting, yummy. The Monster, Turtle, and Snickers. Wow, what a sugar high. We had a couple of these three days old because we were traveling and they were just as fresh. Amazing! I will be back when I visit CR again!

    One word: Amazing! Was heading back to Peoria, IL from Minnesota and stumbled upon this adorable place and let me just say... how I fell in love and these cupcakes tasted mouth watering! Highly recommend!!! Love! On top of being exquisite the price doesn't break the bank. The more you buy the more you save! Worth every penny!!! EVERYONE should stop here!

    Growing up with a pastry chef mother made me something of a food snob. The disdain she had for store bought baked goods hasn't quite left me to this day, though I've tried to become more trusting. TOCP's cupcakes make me hopeful. Their decadent flavors are still a little over the top for my tastes, but the cake is perfectly moist and the icing is rich and flavorful. Unlike other places where the cake is dry and flavorless and the icing tastes like straight powdered sugar. These are generously sized cupcakes in a variety of flavors, made locally with the best ingredients (read: real butter!). At both locations, the employees have been beyond friendly and eager to answer any questions. With discounts for larger quantity variety boxes, TOCP is great for treating your friends! Grab some a pint of locally-made ice cream too for cupcakes à la mode.

    I was on my way to look at a new place and saw the sign for That One Cupcake Place. Well, I just had to stop and see if they were open. Lo, and behold, I got lucky! They are now open on Sundays! The place has almost an olde-timey soda shoppe feel to it. Very sweet. Perfect for the sweet goodies that they produce. It took me a while to choose my cupcakes, but the place wasn't busy and the lovely lady behind the counter was happy to tell me what was in each cupcake. I finally settled on 4. (Normally, each cupcake is $2.75, but if you buy 4 it's $2.50 and if you buy 12 then it's $2.00.) I choose the strawberry cheesecake, a tiramisu, a chocolate chip cookie dough and a cherry almond. The cake is dense and moist, just incredible, and the icing is sugar overload! I will be honest and say that 1/2 a cupcake was perfect for me, but the other 1/2 kept beautifully until the next day. It's so rich and moist that it didn't dry out. I look at it as stretching my dollar without giving anything up! I am definitely a fan of this place! I was happy to hear that they have another location in Newbo City Market that is open Thursdays-Sunday. I will be making another trip to Cedar Rapids soon!

    Cup cakes are old. They are dry, there are many cupcake places in town and this would be my least favorite.

    My Mom's Bakery is the first new Czech/European bakery to open in the Cedar Rapids area in quite a…read morewhile (it's located in the quaint town of Ely, just 10 minutes from Cedar Rapids by car, or a fun 45 minute bike ride on the Cedar Nature Trail), but despite being so new, they are already a strong contender for baking the best kolaches in the region. My Mom's Bakery opens EARLY every Tuesday through Saturday: they start baking their goods in the wee hours of the morning, and by 6 AM, their front doors are open and their kolaches and other baked goods are ready to be enjoyed. Their hours technically go until 11 AM, but they actually close for the day when they sell out, which is almost always earlier than that because they are so popular. So, it's important to get here as close to 6 as you can if you want the best selection. As I mentioned earlier, their kolaches are some of the best I've ever had. This quintessential Czech pastry, which comes in many different fruit (or possibly cheese or poppy-seed) varieties, is a very popular treat in this part of Iowa. However, even though it's easy to find kolaches around Cedar Rapids, it's difficult to find really good, traditional ones. The kolaches here remind me of the types I used to enjoy when I visited Cedar Rapids as a child, with a super light, airy dough and generous helpings of fruit in the middle. Their other pastries, including pecan cinnamon rolls and lemon bars, are fantastic as well. My Mom's Bakery also has a brand new, state of the art espresso machine, and they offer a full range of espresso drinks. I really enjoyed their plain espresso, but you can get drinks with milk as well. The shop itself is small, with just some counter seating (as well as a couple tables out front), so it's probably best to plan to take your baked goods to go. They do have a large, clean bathroom. The staff here is super nice, and we really enjoyed chatting with them about their story and operation. They obviously put their whole heart into this little shop, and it shows. We can't wait to come back the next time we are in Cedar Rapids.

    If pictures could smell, the fragrance would be sweet, yeasty, and soothing. It is like walking…read moreinto my grandma's house when she was making cinnamon rolls. I get here at about 5:55 on a Friday or Saturday to get my fix. I've heard they can run out before their closing time, and I don't want to take that chance! Always cinnamon rolls...but this morning, a lemon bar too. The lemon bar is fragrant and the crust is buttery perfection. After a few bites from my new favorite, I moved on to the pecan roll. Goodness gracious they are delicious. Perfectly baked bread and the caramelization and nuts are perfectly toasted. I hope to see you at 5:55 am at My Mom's Bakery!

I was happy to find the small shop in the early afternoon on a warm Saturday. The sweet, understated smell that enveloped me when I walked in confirmed I was at the right place. As I arrived later in the day and was only looking for a sweet treat (or two), I was fine with the limited selection of cupcakes and cookies in the up front case. There may have been more available to me if I asked. The person that came out from the back was very kind and offered a free sample of the bread pudding they had that day: cinnamon roll. The small bites of the sample (warm, gooey, cinnamon with frosting) convinced me to get a full size. Wright Touch also had a cupcake flavors of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, red velvet, and mint chocolate in the case and I choose the mint chocolate. All the cupcakes have a filling in the middle. Both the bread pudding and cupcake were great. The cake and frosting were dense and not too sweet. The bread pudding was everything you would hope for from a cinnamon roll and then some: soft, sweet, and chewy. Tasted homemade and I have no notes. I would highly recommend checking out Wright Touch for a sweet treat or bread pudding. I can't wait to go back!

    Whatever Sprinkles Your Donuts!…read more For nutritional and blood sugar reasons, I largely stay out of donut shops. There are exceptions like Tim Horton's in Canada and most recently Donutland. This is the real deal and with lots of delicious sugar bombs to choose from, courtesy of an engaged staff. And contrary to the urban legend, no donut-loving police officers were present during my visits. Prices have gone up over the years, with my chocolate old fashioned the first morning, and what I call a "Hawkeye Sprinkled" donut the second morning running at $1.84 each. The first morning's donut was consumed on the way to Iowa City, while the 2nd one was saved for the airplane flying out of Cedar Rapids. I found their coffee to be pretty good too. Note: Plenty of casual inside seating is available, as is nice selection of branded items.

The filling tasted like a fresh blueberry pie: bright, jammy, and perfectly balanced against tender, slightly pillowy dough. The glaze was light enough to let the fruit shine.

This was my first Donutland donut, and it surely won't be my last. I'll be back.
