    I ordered several dozens of cupcakes for a group event here. Their website is simple and easy to navigate & place an order. I loved the variety that they offer. Besides regular ones, they have vegan & gluten free options. At time of writing this they had a bunch of cute Easter versions and I enjoyed it. My favorite was strawberry and birthday. They were ready on time and they loved the cupcakes.

    Strawberry cupcake with cream cheese icing
    Allison B.

    I have to preface by saying I'm not a huge cake person, but I do like a little cake now and then. I bought some cupcakes for my bosses birthday. The GF one was reportedly dry and crumbly, although the icing for all the cupcakes went over well so there is that! I got the strawberry cupcake and initially it tasted really good (it's my fave), but then it had a weird, bitter aftertaste. The icing was really, really sweet for cream cheese icing. Almost too much sugar so I couldn't taste anything else. All in all they weren't amazing, but they were ok for work birthday cupcakes. I give them a 5/10.

    The lady at the front was so nice! My go to cupcake place when I visit Indy! My favorite was the vanilla birthday cake cupcake. These cupcakes are huge and affordable! The shop is colorful and cute!

    Jumbo GIANT Happy Birthday to Me Vanilla Cupcake
    Richard Walton C.

    After doing a lot of walking downtown visiting memorials plus climbing lots of steps, I needed a second wind. What better way than a good old fashioned sugar rush, yes? Where can you get a lot of sugar to digest? The Flying Cupcake, that's where. They have GIANT cupcakes with a lot of icing to boot. I ordered the Jumbo GIANT Happy Birthday to Me - Vanilla cupcake. Everybody says I'm boring because I order vanilla over chocolate too much. Hey I like vanilla, okay? The cupcake was outstanding! Oh yes, it was fresh too; the cake was nice and moist. Definitely hit the spot and got me back on my feet with a second wind. I also decided to buy a couple of things for my granddaughters upcoming birthday next month. Even though she will now be a teenager officially this year, she's not too old for a Sally Sprinkles squishy. And I couldn't resist the pink T-shirt that says, "Someone Bring Me a Flying Cupcake." She likes t-shirts that say stuff on them. By the way, regarding parking on Mass Ave. I learned something today. If you text yourself the receipt after paying, the meter will not only text you with a receipt, but then also text you again when your time is about to expire. Awesome!

    Lunchbox Cake
    Layne D.

    I ordered a lunchbox cake (mini cake that feeds about 2 people) for my partners birthday since we were going to be in town. Ordering ahead was super easy online and I got to select the location and time for pick up. I've never been here before so I was hoping the photos and positive reviews were accurate. I ended up arriving about an hour before my selected time on the day of pickup but the cake was ready and waiting. It was exactly as pictured on their website! The birthday funfetti cake even came with a candle. The cake was good! The frosting is a bit on the sweet side but overall we both enjoyed it. The cake was moist and the lunchbox cake was the perfect size. I would definitely order again if in the area!

    Strawberry Shortcake, Jumbo GIANT Happy Birthday to Me Chocolate Cupcake, Salted Caramel Apple
    Ti'Asha O.

    These cupcakes were the perfect compliment to a hand written card for two of my friend's birthdays. The presentation of the actual cupcake and the packaging always makes the experience feel special. The customer service has always been friendly, polite and efficient. I wish the cupcakes were more rich or moist. It's like the cake part is missing something but I can't quite put my finger on it exactly. It's still a cupcake so it's hard to go wrong! Definitely a must- try more than a must- have.

    Got a vegan vanilla birthday cake cupcake. It was extremely delicious - moist, not too sweet, and well portioned. The staff was kind & the vibe is eclectic. Definitely worth a visit.

    Cake

    Horrendous!!! I got a vanilla 2 layer cake with buttercream frosting. The cake was gorgeous ands was made on time, but it was $125 and tastes like actual play doh. I so wish I could have my money back. My friends party was ruined bc of this cake. I don't know how this place is so popular, they really need to change their recipe!! Do not go here if you want an edible cake!!!

    The "Mike Pence"
    Emm M.

    Very good cupcakes. I got the "Mike Pence" cupcake. It was dry aesthetic and tasted good. I thought the rainbow was made of candy, but it's a plastic ring, and I'm not a fan of that. Friendly servers in the food truck & it was a quick line despite having so many people.

    Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter
    Erin D.

    i am not a Huge cupcake fan, but i am a fan of the flying cupcake!! i've had friends get me them a few times (hence why the picture says anna lol) and it is always a great surprise. the cake part is moist and spongey, not dry like other cupcakes seem to be. the only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is they use a Ton of icing and i personally don't love that much, but the taste of their icing is amazing!! especially their peanut butter icing

    Lemon cupcake
    Rachel S.

    Delicious German chocolate cupcake, and huge! Also didn't realize it was the sister company to the Lemon Bar in Zionsville. The red velvet is fantastic! I also have tried the vegan lemon which was delightful as well.

Yes, these are quite a bit pricer that's for sure. People were buying one of everything in line. I was like wow! Some Items the combinations of flavors didn't appeal to me. I love tiramisu and pecan pie so I got them both. One suggestion I would have is to have utensils and napkins at the table for people to use. The pastries I bought are really temperature sensitive and need to be kept cold. Both had a cream - mousse inside. They wouldn't last long only a day or to the next. I loved the pecan item I ordered. It was great! The tiramisu one I wouldn't order again. The bottom flakey part was so bitter. I love coffee and expresso and tiramisu. But, the whole thing just wasn't what I thought it would taste like. Now I know. :-( Creamy, sweet, smooth, with a kick of coffee all come together to make a great tiramisu. This is what most people love about it. I don't know if they are planning on opening a store or not. The pop ups are doing well it seems. I will try other items whenever I can get to one of the pop ups.

What went from ordering 1 pastry each turned into 8 total.. and we regret nothing. The Tiramisu Danish was exactly as I had hoped for! The bitter taste of espresso paired with the sweet mascarpone cream filling reminded me of the holidays when I would watch my mom make tiramisu for our family. While a lot of people prefer a sweeter espresso, I thought this was perfect and very true to a traditional tiramisu taste The Pear Kouglof reminded me of a fresh yeast donut that's been tossed in sugar This was a very kid-friendly pastry in taste and while I wasn't too blown away by it, it did make me wonder if I would have preferred it with a stronger, more potent, fruit. The Cherry Basque Cheesecake -- this pastry was the house favorite. The texture of this cheesecake was creamy, but somehow still spongey.. cakey, but more like pudding. Mix that with the juiciest sour cherries and the crunch of a biscoff crust.. mind blown was an understatement. We're looking forward to what Beurre Sec has planned for their next pop-up
