Absolutely perfect experience! Reached out about a month before my good friend's birthday and worked with Tara to create this beauty, with fresh flowers and macaroons. Tara was so professional and reached out to confirm all my ask and details. The cake was so delicious!! Service and communication was perfect throughout the entire process. I would definitely use The Cupcake Queen again in the future and refer to all my friends/family. read more

So many goodies to choose from! What a little gem downtown Waxhaw loads of cupcakes brownies that are thick gooey and chocolate, pound cake, coconut macaroons, custom cakes, so many flavors to choose from that change daily. You won't be able to choose all that you want without getting a bag full. Custom orders available, holidays and corporate events welcome. Plus it's all super cute and Pink! Drop on by they are closed Sunday and Mondays but there is still plenty of time to get your fill. I recommend this spot to all. read more

I am a huge supporter of fellow local businesses. So when our daughter showed us a photo of a simple designed sprinkle cake with a smiley face for her 13th Birthday, I finally had the excuse to order a "custom" cake from The Cupcake Queen. I also expected it to look like the photo I downloaded on the businesses website because that's what you expect when you order a "custom" cake right? First photo was what we asked for and second photo is what I picked up on my way to set up for the party. When I told the employee at the register that it wasn't quite right she took it to the back to where I assumed a quick fix would happen and I'd be on my way. The owner/baker/artist came out herself instead, holding the cake and insisted on schooling me on how she "cannot make the cake look exactly like the photo provided because I do not know the source of the design and it isn't my original". It's a smiley face. Yes, just a smiley face. For a girl who hasn't had a party in years because of Covid and just asked for a simple smiley face cake. She brought the cake back out with an icing smiley face on it in the color of beige, like the chocolate icing that was inside. That's fine and all, except it was invisible against the sprinkles. I had to go and quite frankly wasn't prepared to be confronted in that way while picking up a cake so I let it be and left with my beige smiley cake. We had a laugh at the party when I told the story, so I guess it wasn't a complete loss. Communication was key here. If you don't really do custom cakes then you should let everyone know on your website while placing an order, BEFORE they pay, what you let me know upon pick up and after I already paid. Your pride in original work is appreciated, however it isn't what everyone wants all the time and you need to give the customer the option to choose you or not while knowing what they may or may not get. We appreciate honesty. read more

Fantastic triple chocolate cupcakes! Phenomenal chocolate flavor, moist and delicious cupcakes. I loved the texture. They were fabulous! I loved the chocolate icing.

I love supporting local businesses, so I was excited to try The Cupcake Queen. I got the S'more, and Plain Jane. They were awful. The frosting was grainy and coingly sweet. The cake itself was dry and tasteless. We actually threw them out, and at $7.00, that wasn't easy to do. As nice as the owner is, we will definitely not be going back. read more

I ordered and purchased cupcakes for my daughters baby shower. We had not had any of their cupcakes before and wanted to support a local business. I gave them the theme of the shower (baby woodland animals). The cupcakes were plain ugly, with red clay & forest green colors. And they were the driest cupcakes we had ever eaten. I will not go back. read more

I live in CA and have called twice and had a 1/2 dozen cupcakes delivered to my sweet niece in Waxhaw. The staff has been beyond kind and the cupcakes were a hit both times, by the entire family. I love that they offer this service - it is a great way for me to treat my family to something tasty, with the element of surprise, at a very reasonable cost. As long as I have family in the area, this is my go-to bakery for sending anything sweet. read more

First let me say this, the actual cupcakes are to die for! My friend surprised me by having minis delivered to me for my birthday. Holy smokes, those little minis didn't last, and I'll be coming back for more! Next let me say that the owner Tara called to follow up with me, and she was such a delight! She wanted to make sure everything with the delivery went well, and I was very pleased she took time to call me personally. This woman really cares about her business!!! I would encourage you to support this local business not only because the cupcakes are just amazing, but supporting a local business with an owner who truly cares about the details is amazing to me! Thank you Cucake Queen for coming to Waxhaw! We are so excited to have a delicious cupcake store near us! read more

This place needs to stick to cupcakes. Please run don't walk if they are recommended for a wedding cake vendor. Our cake was a hour and a half late. We needed to cut it earlier than planned because it was falling over. We purchased a cake stand that we couldn't even use because the cake was too unstable to move. And if all of that isn't enough the cake was not what we payed for. The colors completely did not match our color scheme we asked for gold design she gave us silver. She pretty much made up her own design which was not the design we asked for. She didn't use buttercream icing. We acted for champagne flavor cake and we got dry sponge cake. Her cupcakes are extremely moist but it does not translate into her cakes. We reached out to her about our dissatisfaction and she didn't even have the common decency to apologize to us this is our wedding cake. Horribly customer service and delivery of a product. She basically took our money and did what she wanted to do not what we paid her to do. Honestly it seems like she did our cake last minute which left her with no time to complete it the way we Paid her to complete it. For sure the worse part of our wedding. read more

I moved from the Bay Area to Charlotte. If you have been to the Bay you will know they have some of the best foods. I have had cupcakes in the Bay which were very good, but Queen's cupcakes takes the way cupcakes should be to another level. They are DELICIOUS, DÉLICIEUX, DELISIOSO . read more

I have visited several times and have tried a variety of flavors. I have never been disappointed. Every time I go in there is always new flavors and usually a few flavors that I hadn't seen before. Strawberry Banana, Raspberry, Marble, Ya Killin' Me, Canoli, Peach Bliss and trust me they are the best. I brought home Strawberry Banana yesterday and my son's reaction to the taste was awesome. He said it was the best tasting thing he had ever had in his mouth! I agree. We are so lucky to have such a treat right here in Waxhaw! I would drive 100 miles for these cupcakes! They also have gluten free options and you would never know the difference. read more

Disappointing experience. We were so excited to support a local Waxhaw business while celebrating my sons First Holy Communion. When arriving to pick up our special order cake, it was completely opposite from what we had ordered. The owner showed no concern. If you are looking for a local bakery with amazing customer service, this is not the one. I would suggest that you keep looking or be prepared to be disappointed. read more

Yesterday our six year old grandson in Waxhaw, NC had an accident and was seen by Urgent Care. Living some 750 miles north of Waxhaw, and wanting to do something quickly that would bring a smile to his lips, we went online and ordered a half dozen cupcakes and some cookies from The Cupcake Queen. The order was delivered within 45 minutes and arrived just after he had returned home. Our grandson's mood brightened right away. And the cupcakes and cookies were truly delicious. Thank you Cupcake Queen!! read more

visited today with my sister and mother. the employee was extremely nice and knowledgeable which was refreshing. the place had a cute set up. we ordered 3 different cupcakes to split amongst ourselves: blueberry lemon, red velvet, and plain jane (vanilla). out of the three, the blueberry lemon was the best. the red velvet was good also. however, the plain jane was disappointing. it didn't have a real vanilla taste, and it resembled cornbread in texture. so there's room for improvement for the vanilla. over all a good experience and we plan to return to try more flavors! read more
