The sweet aroma filled the room. The desserts appealing to the eyes and making my mouth water. So many options. I had to make a decision. Customer service was pleasant. They handled each customer with care. They didn't rush me. I know i took too long to decide. After finishing my order I kept adding to it. I had to hurry and leave tge building before I added even more to the order. I ended up with 4 delicious cupcakes and a gooey butter cake. Everything was so good. The gold rush was the last cake that I purchased. I had completed my order. But got back in line to get it. 2 ladies told me that I can go ahead of them. I told them I already ordered and I'm ordering again. I initially got 3 vanilla butter cream cupcakes. Then I saw the gooey butter cake. I asked the young lady to add that too.. My coworkers placed their orders. Their desserts are kind of pricey. At least they are on my opinion. But they are very good. Of course there's parking out front. read more

Love the cupcakes and the staff are so nice! We enjoyed our visit very much! Will definitely visit again.

This location is kind of hidden. It's in the back corner of a strip center and off the main road. However, it is still easy to find and parking is a breeze. Yesterday, Sophia my little fur-baby had a vet appointment that was just a block away. Being a good dog dad, I made sure she arrived early. In fact, we were so early I had time to kill so I made a stop at, The Cup. To my delightful surprise, they had a special on two of my favorite flavors and they were combined into one cupcake. I love lemon & raspberry. The cupcake was called, Spring Fling. It was a lemon cake, with Raspberry cream cheese frosting and a raspberry filling. The cake was moist and soft. Most importantly, the frosting was not overly sweet and did not overly dominant the cake. It was just the perfect amount of topping. The lady working the counter was attentive and made friendly conversation. I was glad to see that they are part of the, Gift-A-Meal program and that they offered Student Discounts to those who attend SIUE. That's community supporting community. read more

The cupcakes were delicous. However, I found the menu to be a bit confusing on the prices. Totally my fault. However, delicous cupcakes and desserts. Would come again read more

My wife is always looking for good buttercream frosting...let me save you the time looking...it's right here! The cupcakes are amazing and the frosting is perfect. We got a 6 pack of cupcakes and a cookie. The girls at the counter were extremely nice, we told them we had never been there, and there was no pressure to make a quick decision. We stayed there and ate one of our cupcakes. They have a couple little spots to sit and eat, so we didn't feel rushed or anything. Just relaxed for a bit and enjoyed a cupcake together. Worth the time to stop into this one. :) read more

The cupcakes here are delicious and they offer gluten free cupcakes as well. The only issue is they don't always have an abundance of gluten free cupcakes on hand. So if you are wanting gf cupcakes for an event, call way in advance! Otherwise, the service, and the products are great!! read more

The Cup - April fools cake 2024 - Bakeries Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

Tried this cup cake bakery on a stop over in Edwardsville and were pleasantly surprised. We tried two seasonal cupcakes (pumpkin spice and a mint monster). Both were moist and tasty. The icing on both was also quite good, with flavour that complemented the cake. The monster was festively decorated with a candy eyeball on top, and the pumpkin spice had a nice piece of good quality chocolate on top. We also tried the butter cake, which was also quite good. I'll also mention that the cashier was friendly and helpful, but didn't offer anything more than what we asked for (the only question she asked us was the name of our dog). read more

Always a great place for dessert or a birthday platter of mixed items! Our fav in the ville! read more

It smells amazing when you walk in. It's very cute on the inside. The staff had a very warm greeting for me as well as a great attitude and answered all my questions. The cupcakes themselves are just a bit underwhelming. read more

I loove The Cup in Edwardsville! Their cupcakes are great -- so many flavors of cake that taste like what they are -- each different from the rest. I appreciate that they don't overdo the frosting -- what you get is a jumbo cupcake (suitable for splitting, even!) and a nice topping of real buttercream icing, also in real flavors. And the people are so nice -- cheery, helpful. This place is the best. I haven't tried their full cakes or cookies yet, but soon. read more

Amazing!! Decent prices. Go early, they run out of flavors. Birthday tradition for our family read more

Absolutely delicious cupcakes every time! When I don't have time to bake myself or need a few of a special flavor...I drop in and pick some up. read more

Cup cakes are fantastic choice is the excellent various flavors service quick and polite every thing is fresh.

The best sugar cookies! Super nice staff and yummy cupcakes too. Ordering online was easy!

I really enjoy the cup they had the best cupcakes! Their cupcakes are better than Smallcakes, Jilly's and all the other cupcake bakeries in the area. The thing I love about the cup is that they have a jumbo size cupcake and it is competitively priced. I don't mind paying three dollars for a good cupcake that is moist doesn't have too much frosting but has enough frosting to complement the cake and has a good variety of different cupcake combinations. The cup is consistent the service is always great whenever I go and their cupcakes are always fresh moist and delicious. I'm glad to see they are expanding and getting into catering cupcakes to weddings and otherbig events because their cupcakes are much better than some wedding cakes I have had. I love they have a rotating menu of speciality cupcakes but also has the standard flavors all the time as well. This weekend I took advantage of the April's fool cupcake that was decorated and served like a box of Chinese takeout fried rice and it was cute as well as delicious! I also Like their cupcakes because even though you may not eat a cupcake on the day you purchase it it still taste great the next day. A lot of cupcakes if you store them overnight they do not taste very good at all but one thing I can say is that the cups cupcakes always taste great even after sitting overnight and being consumed the next day. read more

Cute little shop. I do wish people in the area would actually wear masks, especially when they are going in large groups. But other than that I like that all of the cupcakes are properly displayed behind the screen. I got a double chocolate, a vanilla or white with milk chocolate that was my favorite and a pumpkin cupcake. The cupcakes themselves were pretty moist, and the buttercream wasn't too sweet it was very light which is hard to find at cupcake places that like to overdo all of the sweetness. read more

Let's start by saying it's worth the drive. The cupcakes are always airy and moist. The staff is always smiling and friendly. The restaurant has seen for you to sit down and chitchat and catch up with friends. read more

Cupcakes were tasty but overpriced. We ate inside even though it was dirty. They cater to a certain type and I guess we weren't that type. Not overly rude but looked down their noses. read more

Yummmm! Theses aren't your everyday cupcakes. They taste great, there's a lot of choices and they're big. We buy a couple, then share by cutting them in half. read more

Clean facility. Friendly staff. And most importantly, DELICIOUS cupcakes! We tried the Chocolate Mint, Strawberry, Coconut, and Confetti. All were fantastic. The icing was flavorful, but not too sweet. The cake was very moist. The Confetti was fairly plain, if you're looking for something basic. The Strawberry was made with strawberry cake. The Coconut was light on the coconut. The Chocolate Mint was definitely the best. Just the right balance of flavors. A+++ We found out about this place in a ST Louis Travel magazine. I spent summers with my dad in Edwardsville growing up and was already planning on revisiting the old neighborhood. This place is everything you want and expect Edwardsville to be. Great experience. read more

The Cup is always consistent and yummy! My favorite is the red velvet cupcake. My husband always goes for the lemon or Reese's peanut butter. My favorite part about their cupcakes is the icing. It is the absolute best. Very creamy and sweet. read more

Yep, this place is amazing! Heard so many great things about it and finally was able to give it a try tonight. Couldn't settle on one cupcake, so I got four of them. The tuxedo (double chocolate), confetti, coffee streusel, and another chocolate one. Wow-- so moist, compact, and cool, just the way I like cupcakes. And the frosting? Out of this world and bursting with delicious flavor. I will be back time and time again! read more

Delicious cupcakes and gooey butter cake. Always a lot of flavors to choose from. Great for birthdays or just a little pick me up!

The vegan cupcakes fall apart after you bite into them, rather impossible to eat the normal way of eating a cupcake and they only have one kind of vegan cupcake. read more

I'm not even sure 5 stars can express how much I love The Cup!!! These cupcakes are top notch. Not the normal cupcake size - much bigger! The flavors are spot on and the quality is above and beyond. I love the seasonal selections and the different options available. I've enjoyed each flavor and there is no way for me to pick a favorite. Next on my list is the oatmeal cream pie...I'm afraid I may find a new addiction though ;) read more

Love the cup. They did my wedding last year. 150 cupcakes all variety and a tier cake. Also got them a week or two ago for my birthday. I remember coming here in high school when it first opened some 7-8 years ago in Edwardsville and coming to eat delicious cupcakes with friends. Our favorite is the lemon drop which is on a rotating list with other cupcakes and sadly wasn't the week of my birthday so I got strawberry instead. All are delicious, can't get much better than this! read more

Delicious moist gluten free and regular cupcakes with fun flavors. Try the tuxedo, the lemon, cappuchino or plain banilla. Real buttercream frosting! read more

I had worked for two of the cup locations five years ago. The cleanliness in the back of the cupcake shop is GREAT. They keep everything in pristine condition. The product is made well. I still go back every now and then for a cupcake. Which says a lot because after having worked with the company for almost two years I still want to eat there. The best are the Mummy, the Italian Creme, Wipeout, Maple Bacon, and Gold Rush. My mouth is watering just typing this. read more

This is the perfect place to go and grab a sweet treat. The Cup has the best cupcakes in town; everyone in Edwardsville knows that! Their workers are friendly and the way that the shop is decorated makes it an awesome place to relax with the perfect cupcake. I usually don't like sweet things because I don't have a sweet tooth, but The Cup's Cupcakes are seriously an exception to that! read more

Nice clean business with very good cupcakes affordable price and very pleasant staff will be going back in the future. read more

The Cup - Bakeries Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

I am writing an update for this place because I've recently been back there and I bought some cupcakes for my weekend co-workers. I also got one for myself because I couldn't resist and I guess, I just want to reinforce the fact that this place really do make great cupcakes! My co-worker's first initial reaction from a small bite was "mmm this is pretty good" and after the second bigger bite, he stated "This is pretty darn good!" and later on added that he'd have to say it's the best cupcake he's had! That was of course, followed by the "I told you so" but honestly, The Cup makes such terrific cupcake and I am glad it's close by. I need to come here more often. The people that work there as awesome as well and very helpful. When I was standing in line waiting for my turn to order, I noticed that they have so much patience explaining their cupcake varieties to the curious (might I add, drooling) clients! Among their many selections I've tried are the tuxedo, double chocolate (delicious!), and their red velvet and I have to say, they were all very tantalizing! :D read more

I just stopped in for coffee (wish they were open earlier than 9:30 - I'd do breakfast here on occasion!) but couldn't resist buying 2 cupcakes. Both were superb! Best cupcakes I've ever had! On a side note, I tried the cupcakes from 2 other "Cupcake Stores" in a nearby town. Those cupcakes were good but didn't stack up to the Cup! read more
