The Most Delicious Cupcakes in Charlotte

Villani's Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (442) • $$

"Sampled a variety of sweets and baked goods from Villani's twice in the past year or so. The croissants have been my favorite and they are huge!! The butter and almond are both yummy and very easy to heat up leftover at home in the oven wrapped in foil. Their sweets and macarons have been completely hit & miss but I wouldn't not give them another chance."

Cupcrazed Cakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (301) • $$

"Very cute shop in Baxter with delicious choices of desserts. We ordered three cupcakes for the kids and they loved them. They are pretty big and sweet so they ate about half, then took the rest home for later. The shop owner was there and she was friendly and helpful. There are places to eat inside. Cozy, cute ambiance."

Cupcake Delirium

★★★★★ 4.7 (128) • $

"This here is a review of the bakery itself, not the truck. Actually I'm not even sure if the truck is still a thing, but it would be cool to see it somewhere if so.Coming in is confusing at first. They're actually a part of the strip mall - at the very end. It's a cute set up. Very colorful and inviting. Parking is a pain. I recommend backing in. Inside they have a tall display case with about 8 different flavor concoctions. Seems like they change up most of these every day. They probably also have a daily limit where they shut down once sold out. They sell "day old" cupcakes on another shelf. I came in on Valentine's Day and they were going nonstop.I ordered a box of four which comes to $10. If the guy running the register didn't suggest it, I wouldn't have even known. (Even though there's a sign or it.) You can also buy just one for $3. So getting four is quite a deal. If I heard correctly, when you bring your box back in they'll give you a cupcake in exchange for it. I think that's awesome that they see the value in not wasting. Also, what a way to get people to come back in?I got a blueberry french toast cupcake with bacon on top. It was amazing. The bacon was just enough salt to pair up nicely with the sweet frosting. The filling of a sort of baked blueberry reduction was unexpected and scrumptious. I also got a banana pudding, red velvet and "death by chocolate" for my girlfriend. They were actually out of those but were making more in the back at that exact moment. They hooked me up. They put the cupcakes in plastic cups turned upside down. It's ingenious really. Clearly I'll be back!"

Sweet Cakes Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (66) • $$

"Wonderful Birthday Cake.Decorated tastefully and delicious too!A perfect dessert ending after dinner at Choplin's"

Cosmic Cookie Bakery

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (80) • $

"Okay so I seem to have become addicted to this place. There are a few inconsistencies I need to point out though. First is that like other Yelpers have noticed this bakery has three different names. The name above the front door, the name on the receipts and the name on the emails. They need to pick a single name and stick with it.The second inconsistentcy is that you don't have any idea what's available from day to day and if it's moist or dry. You might think that I'm only talking about the cake being dry, but oddly I've also experienced frostings that are dry as well. So it's really hit or miss when you visit.. I've sampled almost everything they have and I think that I'll stick with what's been proven to be good.The carrot cake and the Hershey chocolate cake were excellent. My friend also enjoyed his cupcakes."

Smallcakes Ballantyne

★★★★★ 4.6 (41)

"I needed some cake. Cake is one of my weaknesses. Smallcakes makes the most moist and delicious cupcakes around. These will fall apart as you try to eat them, but you'll be savoring every crumb. The cakes are perfectly flavored and baked and the frostings are sweet, smooth, and serve as the perfect compliment to their cake pairing. The staff is friendly and fast. They get orders out the door here. You can dine right inside or take your Smallcakes on the go. Pricy but the quality is so worth the cost. Go grab some today. You will not be disappointed."

Dough New York Style Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (62) • $

"Best NY bagels in town! No lie! The owners are amazing as well. We've been coming here for years. We highly recommend!"

Sugarlicious Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (54) • $$

"The struggle to adhere to a healthy diet is intense, the pitfalls and sugary temptations are plentiful. I want this bakery to be in the Charlotte city border, but that's bad news for my waistline. The only thing keeping me from more frequent trips to Sugarlicious is the rush hour traffic on 85S.I haven't had the cupcakes consistently enough to really comment on them fairly. What I always leave with, are the very tall cake slices. These are so very, very good. I like the rotating flavors, every trip I'm not sure what is going to be available. I have yet to be disappointed with any cake I've taken home with me. I love how their brownies have chocolate chips inside of them, and they are on the firm yet moist side. Unlike other brownies with the consistency of a brick, which makes them not my favorite treat. But not here. I'll be back again and again, unfortunately! ;)"

B'zzz Cakes

★★★★☆ 4.3 (33)

"ordered a custom cake from B'zzz Cakes for my wife's birthday, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I provided a price range and a few parameters like "lots of chocolate," and let them get creative. The cake they made was amazing.One thing to note is that the cake is delivered frozen, so plan ahead to give it time to thaw. Overall, B'zzz Cakes did an excellent job, and I highly recommend them for any special occasion!"

The Cupcake Queen

★★★★☆ 4 (27) • $$

"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."

Nothing Bundt Cakes

★★★★★ 5 (17)

"Always love visiting this location! Staff is always welcoming and helpful. The ladies here take their time to help you and answer any questions you have. Each customer is greeted upon entering and if they're busy, they let you know they will be with you shortly. My favorite location to frequent."

Jewell Treats

★★★★☆ 3.8 (28) • $$

"I ordered cupcakes from here for a company party. They were so good! I asked for a variety of cupcakes. My favorite was the carrot cake one but loved the red velvet cake as well. Everyone loved the way they were decorated! Also, so thankful for the nice lady who brought my cupcakes out to my car. Curbside pickup in uptown is a lifesaver!The only drawback is the size of the cupcakes versus the cost. $3 is a little high for such a small cupcake."

Sweet House Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (20) • $$

"They just moved to Uptown Shelby and this place is AH-MAZING! They had $2 cupcakes all week for their grand opening! I bought 2 Cherry Lemon Sundrop, a Banana Pudding, Pineapple Cherry Cheesecake, Cotton Candy and a Orange Creamsicle cupcake. They were all GOOD, but that cherry lemon sundrop cupcake was the BEST cupcake I've ever tasted! Definitely check this place out! So so so worth it!"

Cold Stone Creamery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (15)

"The staff greets you with big smiles and tangier readiness to make your sundae is exceptional. I've visited this location twice, now. Once in the evening and once during the early opening hours on a Sunday. One visit required constant watch of my friends little boy, but the staff didn't mind him wandering about. Luckily, he was distracted from being too mischievous with a mouthful of ice cream, from time to time. We wrangled him up when other customers arrived, and thankfully, the shop isn't too big and doesn't have much other than a bathroom for him to get into. The ice cream is always delicious and the young ladies did an excellent job concocting our creations. I enjoyed both visits and am glad to have ice cream even closer to home."

Nothing Bundt Cakes

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

"So excited to have this unique delicious cake shop open in Pineville. The cakes and cupcakes are amazing. Consistently delicious and always a treat to have or share with friends. If you haven't tried them yet- where have you been? These delicious cakes and cupcakes will make you a favorite at any party you bring them to ! Absolutely delicious desserts Two thumbs way up."

All Mixed Up

"Was driving by and thought o would try. So glad I did. These chocolate brownies with a ganache frosting were AMAZING! I originally ordered one took a bite in the car and went back to get four more for my family. Yum! Must try !"

Candy’s Cheesecake Shoppe

"Some of the best cheesecake and the cookies are delicious! The people were nice and even came to my car as she knew it was our first visit and she wanted to make sure I received a punch card. Cute shop and great service! We will be back."
