The Cupcake Bar is SO MUCH MORE than cupcakes! I have used TCB for work morning meetings - custom donut bars make 7am meetings better, trust me! - and for parties and events. Most recently we used them for a holiday party and they had lots of fun elements for the holiday season. Our attendant had this adorable holiday apron and the entire experience is so turn-key, and lovely. I got so many compliments on our food and treats, and honestly - it was as easy as working with the TCB team to get us organized, and that was it! read more

TCCB is my go-to for interactive treats! From Caramel Apple bars, DIY Cupcake stations, roaming cigar boxes, roaming cannolis, roaming macaroons, and anything in between! They also have phenomenal gift boxes for adults and kids. Eleven out of 10 for detail, professionalism, and taste! read more

Kimberley, Lori, and the rest of TCB's team are fantastic to work with. As a local wedding planner, having vendors I trust to execute the vision we have for our clients is a must. Their team knocks it out of the park EVERY TIME. We have worked with them for interactive dessert experiences that guests rave about, all the way to welcome bags personalized to the nines. We love working with their team and would recommend them to anyone! read more

The Cupcake Bar is a great company to work with! They bring smiles to everyone's faces, they offer unique and engaging activations to any event and you can tell the love what they do! If you have a fun creative idea you want to bring to life, just ask, they will make dreams come true! read more

The Cupcake Bar - Cute activation we recently did! Graffiti Donut Wall! - Desserts Near Me

Not only do they make incredible cupcakes, but they are also committed to stopping food waste. They are an active participant in the Too Good to Go (TGTG) program. I've been lucky enough to have scored some of their TGTG contributions, getting the chance to discover different ingredients used in their products (popcorn and cotton candy recently). I've also received some unexpected items I didn't realize are used in their products--flavorings, cookies, etc. I'm so happy to continue patronizing them for cupcakes and with these fun TGTG bags. read more

Kim, Lori and the team are absolutely amazing to work with! I have had the privilege to work with them for many office occasions and every team I have had, has been amazing!

Pre-COVID I have been fortunate to have experienced the work of the Cupcake Bar at corporate events and some special pop-up events. It's always been a fun, creative, deliciously entertaining experience. If you ever have a need for a memorable and interactive cupcake/donut/apple experience for your guests (post-covid, of course!) definitely check them out! Like all businesses, these COVID times are forcing everyone to get a little more creative...and the Cupcake Bar team has delivered! Here are a few standout ways: 1. Cute holiday inspired and fun flavor cupcake combinations (i.e., Cinco de Mayo, Summer time, Christmas in July). The cupcakes are dee-li-cious! No surprise there, but we love the fun and tasty flavor combinations. 2. Candy and Sweet Treat platters: great combos of different candy types and sweet treats on a super cute platter. And as an added bonus, you can ship them anywhere for a small fee! It's a great way to have happiness delivered to the doorstep of those you love. 3. Gift Boxes: These are uber cute and soooo creative! I purchased the Father's Day box which were filled with locally sourced items like mixed nuts and cute non-perishable gifts (i.e. cute miniature table top books, leather coasters, and a reusable sphere ice mold). It truly is gift giving made super easy and with thoughtfully combined unique and fun gift elements. 4. Gluten Sensitive Cupcakes: Yummm! It's a chocolate/chocolate option but the frosting is divine. I could eat it out of a jar! SERIOUSLY, sooo good! 5. Subscription Boxes! Clearly we're fans of the Cupcake Bar, and who doesn't want a monthly delivery of sweets to get through this crazy COVID year? From cupcakes to s'mores to nut mixes and more, what a fun way to keep the sweet treats going. 6. The other standout thing about the Cupcake Bar is the their customer service. In a world filled with automation, great customer service truly stands out. They are quick to respond, can help with options and are just great to work with. Plus they have contactless pick up options too! So if you haven't tried any of the Cupcake Bar's new offerings, give it a try. There are plenty of options to choose from and your supporting a local (ATX) business. In these crazy 2020 times, that is needed more than ever. read more

Working with the Cupcake Bar was an absolute pleasure. We hired them for an in-office apple dipping event on Halloween. The team arrived early for setup, put together the most adorable on-theme tables, and served our associates with big smiles and professionalism. We will definitely be hiring the cupcake bar again! read more

I've worked with The Cupcake Bar for multiple events and orders through work and on my own, and I cannot recommend them enough! My previous workplace booked them for a cupcake bar and everyone loved them! The ordering, set up, theming, and cupcakes themselves were amazing, and it wasn't long until another one of our branches booked them again. Once the pandemic hit, we worked with them ordering corporate gifts for employees and they nailed it again! I never hesitate to think of them for gifting ideas, party ideas, and delicious desserts. That's why they immediately came to mind when I got engaged and started wedding planning. From planning to execution, Kimberly helped me with it all! I got married just about a month ago, and I still hear about how guests loved the cupcakes. They have an extensive menu of cake flavors, toppings, frostings, and fillings! And they do have GF ones! I LOVE The Cupcake Bar and its team. They have a wonderful group of people who's excitement and laughter are contagious. I look forward to more from them and to work with them more in the future! read more

Love The Cupcake Bar! They have always been a great resource to me for dessert bars for events and gifting for clients. Always very communicated and professional.

The cupcake bar operated a caramel apple stand at the UT college of liberal arts fall carnival, and they were delicious and so cute. Students got to pick from a red or green apple and add toppings such as toffee and crushed m&Ms. Each apple was finished off with glitter spray too. They were sliced on request for ease of eating. read more

The Cupcake Bar - Desserts Near Me

I wanted to take a chance to update with my most recent personal and professional experiences with Cupcake Bar. If the bar was set high before, they have managed to exceed all expectations - AND during these strange times! The Cupcake Bar has found some incredibly creative ways to stay relevant during this pandemic. I reached out to them at the beginning of the summer looking for a summer picnic alternative for my company and they created a festive Summer Survival Kit for our employees filled with whimsical and useful items. They even managed to brand EVERYthing. Not just the packaging and the koozies and water bottles - they branded custom sunscreen packets! And the quality was excellent. I've had company branded goodies before from other companies that looked cute, but the items themselves were shoddy and the snacks were subpar. We had some soda bottle gummies in these care packages that looked great and tasted absolutely delicious. We have an employee who considers themselves a "gummy connoisseur" (seriously) and even they were very impressed! Beyond all of this, Cupcake Bar also made the shipping and delivery of 340 packages across Austin, Dallas, and Rockville MD a breeze. We already plan to use them for future packages - even if it's mainly to help us with the shipping and delivery piece. I would much rather support a local company and pay them for their time than have to handle that on my own for so many employees. But another example of their spectacular service would be our next project of custom t-shirts - they quoted us two versions of packaging and shipping and were happy to work with our current vendor. But they also mentioned a vendor they are working with (who also print masks, btw!) that turned out to be way cheaper and local and able to get us the style of shirt we wanted when our corporate office's vendor was out of stock. I am such a fan of this company that I decided I also wanted to personally sign up for their Sweet Subscription Boxes. I figured my family and I deserved to treat ourselves monthly as we get through this crazy year! And it has been such a joy to get these. They are beautifully packaged and a great mix of yummy and useful. It was so nice to have sparklers handy on Fourth of July for the kiddo and the marshmallow roasting kit was worth the August monthly cost alone! That thing is brilliant and will be a staple for our family forever. The options in the Austin smores box also opened our eyes to options we never even considered - my son loved mini M&Ms on his smores and I was surprised by how awesome a Reese's cup turned out to be! And that's the heart of the matter, really. Lori, Kim, and Cupcake crew bring such fun and innovative thinking to the table. Paired with their high quality and impeccable customer service, they are just a dream to work with. I cannot recommend them enough for your company needs and your personal sweet tooth! read more

Absolutely amazing! We used them as our one of our featured desserts for our wedding in June of 2022. I was so impressed with Kimberly and her teams response time, warmth, and eagerness to collaborate. I asked for a custom Texas flag donut wall and they blew me away! People from our wedding still brag about the doughnuts and the display. They also sent a thoughtful card after our wedding that meant so much. I highly recommend! read more

A big thank you to the Cupcake Bar for going above and beyond in arranging a last minute cupcake delivery to celebrate my daughter's birthday! Because the bakery had already closed, I sent them a DM on IG the night before to ask about placing an order for the next morning. They replied almost immediately to help me with my order. I want to thank Laurie and her team for this amazing customer service, fast delivery and great communication. They really made my daughter's birthday special and she said the cupcakes tasted delicious and were so cute in a pink box and ribbon. When I visit Austin next month, I plan to stop in and try a cupcake! read more

The Cupcake bar team was an absolute joy to work with for a recent virtual work team builder! This is the second time we've worked with them and once again, they nailed it. The communication was great - they had a full team assigned to ensuring a seamless, positive experience from start to finish. Love how they worked within our budget & stayed on top of all the kit shipments (even for an international team member)! Highly recommend the candy sushi workshop for your next team builder or party - engaging, unique & kid-friendly. Nothing but great things to say about this small business - check them out for some sweet fun! read more

We have planned several virtual events with The Cupcake Bar and keep coming back for more. All of the classes are so much fun and interactive. These events have made a drastic impact on our team culture. Working with The Cupcake Bar is always a great experience from initial conversations, to booking, shipping, and the final event. The team is always on top of every little detail which I really appreciate, not to mention they are extremely nice and pleasant to work with! If you are looking for an amazing vendor for virtual events, I highly recommend The Cupcake Bar. read more

I got to try the Cupcake Bar at a conference I recently attended. They catered the cupcakes for the interactive dessert session which was quite popular. The conference attendees all seemed excited about the made-to-order cupcakes. You got to pick the base, filling, icing, topping, etc. then a cupcake bartender will make it in front of you. It is like Build A Bear version of cupcakes if you know what I mean. The cupcakes were pretty I have to say. Some of them even have glitters on. I suppose you will produce fabulous glitter waste later? IMO the build-your-own-cupcake idea is great but the taste of the cupcake itself is really NOT on par. It was too sweet and sugary! It seems like the majority of the reviewers liked their cupcakes tho. But I really don't think I'm an outlier b/c my friend also said the cupcakes were too sweet and she didn't like them either. I mean I totally get the creative and chic image they are trying to project but looks can only go that far. Regardless I still appreciate our conference organizer for hiring them b/c we at least tried something different! read more

I was looking for a way to support local businesses and somehow happened upon the Cupcake Bars Mother's Day kit. It was lots of fun goodies from local businesses and right up my alley. The delivery was contact-less and the cupcakes were tasty. Moist and delicious. I really liked that they worked with other local businesses to put together candles, loofah, bath bombs, cuticle cream, etc. it was the perfect way to pamper myself for Mother's Day. read more

I was having an outdoor graduation party and The Cupcake Bar's donut station could not have been a more perfect addition to the day. First of all, the online selection system was convenient and helped me feel like it was very clear what I was requesting and what I could expect. On the day of the party Ashlyn showed up with plenty of time to manage parking and setup with ease- and she brought such a great attitude to the event and was nice to work with. To top it off, the donuts were actually delicious and photo-worthy. I would definitely recommend The Cupcake Bar's donut station and would gladly use them again for other events. read more

If themed, cute sweet treats are you quest, then look no further. Cupcake Bar is always taking their creativity to the next level whether it's their careful attention to detail, or adorable themed treats almost too beautiful to eat. Just check out the treats from their Cinco de Mayo cupcake box (in the photo). Not to mention, their customer service is always off the chain and ordering online is super easy. DEFINITELY a no-brainer when a holiday/celebration is coming up and I want to "wow" my guests - and me! read more

First time experiencing a Cupcake bar - which was at my place of employment. The friendly staff set up the table with adorable decor that definitely showcased the cupcakes. They were very professional while also being engaged with those choosing their cupcake flavors. There were a variety of flavors to choose from, which included the cupcake, filling, icing, and toppings. Everything was delicious! I loved the Tres Leches cupcake with the praline crunch on top - amazingly good. If you want something different for a work event, birthday party, or any kind of event - consider this place. Its fun and delicious! read more

Kimberly, Lori, and the entire cupcake bar team are the epitome of local businesses that are friendly, responsive, and deliver great products. I've used The Cupcake Bar for my kids' birthday party and all the guests kept raving about how fun the experience was. And the kids loved it! They loved to customize their own cupcakes however they chose. And you're not committed to eating the same cupcake flavor over and over again. Also, I've used The Cupcake Bar for gifts and most recently for my husband birthday. My husband loved the little Austin TX-centric gift box.l with a coaster, piñata, coffee table book. It was perfect! I'm so glad we have a gem such as The Cupcake Bar in Austin! read more
