My friends and I traveled to Nashville to celebrate our friend's 40th birthday, and I needed a cake for the occasion. I hopped on Yelp to find a cake shop close to our Airbnb, and The Cupcake Collection in Historic Germantown popped up. I'm so glad it did! From the moment I walked in, everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and genuinely nice! The cake was absolutely delicious, and the decoration was on point! It was everything I was hoping for and more. They truly helped make our friend's special birthday celebration even sweeter! The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. If you're in Nashville and looking for a delicious cake with beautiful decorating and amazing customer service, I highly recommend The Cupcake Collection. I would definitely visit again! read more

We decided to visit Nashville for our annual girlfriend's trip so I pre-ordered a cake from Germantown store. The cake wasn't ready when I arrived apparently my order didn't print out that morning. No problem because it only took the young lady 10 minutes to prepare my order. I ordered a Marble (chocolate & vanilla cake) Rosette Cake with cream cheese and chocolate buttercream icing. OH MY GAWD that cake was DELICIOUS. It was so beautiful but we tore that cake up. The young ladies working were friendly and the place was very cute and clean. I was picking the cake up on a Tuesday morning and there was a steady stream of customers purchasing cupcakes. I can't wait for the nationwide delivery. read more

As someone who bakes cakes often, I'm very particular about where I spend money for desserts. The Cupcake Collection has been a favorite of ours for a number of years and we always make a stop to pick up some cupcakes during our visits to the Nashville area or as in this case, just to pick up our cakeorder. The bakery is located in a nicely renovated blue house in the ever changing Germantown area surrounded by attractive upscale-like apartments and condos. If you're lucky, you can find street parking close by. The sweet potato cupcake was the first one I ever tried and the one that actually got me hooked on this place. It is always moist and super flavorful, so obviously I was so excited that I would be getting a three layer sweet potato cake for my birthday. We also purchased two cupcakes when we picked up the cake... a wedding cake cupcake and of course the sweet potato cupcake. Both were moist and delicious! Unfortunately, the sweet potato birthday "cake", with the usual vibrant spices, was clearly over baked. This made for a nearly burnt taste below the layer of thick buttercream frosting and the texture of the cake was therefore not nearly as moist as one would have hoped. In fact, we found ourselves eating the inner part of the cake and leaving the overly dark hard outside crust and thick frosting on the plate. This was clearly a "quality control" issue. Regrettably, as some bakeries expand and produce more product, quality often slips and fails to meet the expectations of repeat customers. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with my birthday cake and didn't eat or share nearly as much of it as I had hoped. In fact, much of it was discarded. I'll be reluctant to return to this bakery during my next visit to Nashville. However, my only advice to others would be to stick to the cupcakes. Those are usually delicious. That way it's not as big of an investment. read more

A few people recommended this place while I was in town. It was down from a restaurant that I was at so I stopped by. The cashier was so nice. There are so many options to choose from. I got a few different ones. They were good! I'm not a heavy frosting person, but I liked the taste of hers. It's a cute place. read more

After reading so many great reviews, I knew I had to stop in for birthday cupcakes while I was in town. Of course I tired the signature sweet potato cupcake and a variety of everything else that looked good! The young lady that waited on me was so kind to include a happy birthday topper and candle for the birthday cake cupcake. The cupcakes were as delicious as they looked. If I lived on the area, I would be there way too often. I'm glad I had the opportunity to support this business for my special day. read more

Black owned bakery. Happy Black History Month! They have multiple vegan cupcake options. All vegan cupcakes are also gluten free. I wanted to try all the vegan flavors so I got one of each, which totaled half a dozen. They came frozen. I was told that when I'm ready to eat one I just need to sit it out for about an hour to thaw. This has worked out well each time. VEGAN VANILLA CUPCAKE It was ok. The cupcake was moist but dense and it had the typical gluten free consistency and beige color. The icing is pretty great. VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE Good, just dense. VEGAN MARBLE CUPCAKE Good, but had those same remnants of that distinctive gluten free taste. VEGAN RED VELVET CUPCAKE Good. Slightly less dense than the chocolate cupcake for some reason. VEGAN SNICKERDOODLE Very good VEGAN SWEET POTATO CUPCAKE This one was perfect. So moist, fluffy, and sweet. You'd never guess this was gluten free. The young lady working that evening wasn't particularly friendly or pleasant. May have just been a bad day. More of a 3-star experience, but they got an extra star for having 6 vegan options. read more

Wow! Simply great cupcakes! The cupcakes exude home baked goodness, but elevated with great tastes and quality. I had a strawberry cupcake, and was pleasantly surprised by the little pieces of strawberry throughout. Perfect execution of a homemade cupcake. I also love that they have gluten-free cupcakes. The shop is part of an existing home, but they are clearly super professional when it comes to making cupcakes. And the service was warm and welcoming as well. I only discovered this place because I happened to be walking down the street, and I couldn't resist the temptation. I'm so glad I stopped in! I will definitely be back! read more

Without a doubt my favorite cupcakes in Nashville! I don't even love cakes/cupcakes, but the sweet potato cupcake is one of my favorite sweet bites in the whole city. All of their cupcakes are perfectly fluffy, with a not too sweet, creamy frosting. They have classic flavors, and also a rotating menu of specials. The people are super duper kind, it's definitely worth a stop if you're in the Germantown area! read more

Some of the best cupcakes I've EVER had! We understand why they're famous. These cupcakes literally melt in your mouth. The strawberry cupcake was top-tier. It had a great flavor, and the strawberry pieces blended in so well. Probably the best strawberry and sweet potato cupcakes I've ever had. My fiancé said the Marble was very moist. This was our last stop before heading to the airport and these cupcakes traveled with us all the way to North Carolina. These cupcakes were so good I took super tiny bites, hoping they would last longer, lol. 10/10 highly recommend and I'll also attempt to have some delivered to me since the owner said that was possible! We wanted to support a Black-Owned business while we were in town, and this one definitely did not disappoint. read more

These cupcakes are the absolute best in town. The sweet potato is my personal favorite but you can't go wrong with any flavor. I found this place randomly walking around Germantown and became A forever follower even though I've left Nashville. I was back in town this weekend and had to grab a cupcake or two or three!! The owners are just lovely and the staff is always friendly. You can order for events and they even do customized cupcakes! read more

Let me preface this by saying I love sweets. With that said, these cupcakes are incredible! They have such a wide variety of flavors, they are a great size and come with plenty of frosting. The cake portion is not dry and the frosting is sooo yummy! They are definitely on the sweeter side, but then again, it is cake. Well balanced flavor and plenty of options to pick from, will definitely be back. It is a small location in germantown with street parking available, we went on the weekend and had no problem with parking but the area can get packed on certain days so you may need to walk (which isn't a problem as the area is safe and cute to walk around). read more

A great dessert after an amazing dinner. read more

We saw Cupcake Collection on our walk to dinner and saw that it was "sold out" and wonder how can cupcakes be so good that it's sold out? So the next morning we were finish with breakfast at Monell's and pass by Cupcake and they were just opening. We came in and they were super friendly. She was busy making pre orders. We decided to get 4 flavors- sweet potato, sweet lemonade, marble and Germantown chocolate. We thought the sweet potato and the sweet lemonade were the best. Very good. We ate it after lunch at Hattie's. Great palate cleanser. The place is small, looks like a house. It's family owned and they work hard. Good stuff! read more

I was in Nashville for the first time on vacation and read great things about The Cupcake Collection in Essence magazine. Without a doubt I made plans to stop by to try their treats while supporting a local black business. The location is a small but cute bakery within what seems like a house. I arrived about 2 hours before closing and upon walking in, I was greeted kindly. Unfortunately they were out of most the flavors I had wanted to try so, I settled for a red velvet and a wedding cake flavored cupcakes. I decided to indulge in my cupcakes on the porch. Firstly, both of the cupcakes were moist and flavorful. I mean, they were GOOOODDD! Probably one of the best I've ever had. Of the two, I loved the wedding cake cupcake which surprised me because it has almond buttercream and I was apprehensive as to what that would taste like. It was superb! The sweetness on both flavors was balanced very well. I had to stop myself from eating both of them in one sitting lol. Nonetheless, it was really good and I wished I had more time to go back and purchase more. Luckily they offer online ordering, so guess who will be ordering very soon? *points to herself*. I highly recommend to others and I would surely return if I'm in Nashville again! read more
