The Most Flavorful Cupcakes in Cleveland

Cupcake Castle

★★★★☆ 3.6 (28) • $$

"Just what I do not need, another cupcake shop close to home. I'm in trouble. This location is very close to Pure Delite Cupcake but blows them out of the water. I like the interior of Pure Delite more vs the castle theme here but it's still all about the cupcakes. I ordered a root beer and a oreo cupcake. The root beer was delicious and is actually the first time I ever had a root beer cupcake. So delicious. The cake was most and the frosting was light and sweet but not too sweet. Just right. I only had 1 bite of the oreo but the frosting was different, more whip cream but it was still really good. I'll definitely be back as this is the best cupcake place in Akron/Fairlawn that I have found."

Kake Kutters

★★★★★ 4.5 (15)

"Such a cute little find! Amazing treats and such a cute atmosphere. The workers are all friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!!"

Grandma Campbell's Cupcakes Stand

★★★★★ 4.8 (9) • $

"These cupcakes are the best in town, moist & soft & so big that they come in, like, a paper cup instead of just a cupcake wrapper. I wish they were open on Sundays, but I'll just have to get my cupcake fix the other six days of the week. Try the lemon, & consider getting there first thing in the morning for fresh-out-of-the-oven goodies."

Corbos Pasta and Pizza House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (201) • $

"We only got a cannoli to eat for a dessert, but it was amazing. Never had one before and it was made fresh to order and blew me away how great it was. Service at the counter was nice and quick to serve us. Ambiance was fitting to the vibe of the community and bakery. Was a fun dessert stop."

Hometown Bakery

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"Hometown Bakery is a lovely addition to Vermilion. This area truly needed a local bakery! Its located inside a plaza and is definitely a strip mall secret. Hometown Bakery serves everything from granola and muffins to cupcakes, ice cream sandwiches, zucchini bread, and everything in-between.We ordered a custom cake for a birthday and it was luxe, delicious and a big hit. Keep in mind, this is a small town, so the owner does not yet have a menu of her custom cakes or accompanying pictures. The ordering process was a little stressful because of this (I appreciate photos because it helps me understand what I'm ordering). Be prepared to be patient if you place a custom order. Hopefully she creates a menu with photos soon!I totally get the vibe that Hometown Bakery might sell out early, so be sure to plan it at the beginning of your day. There's a few tables and chairs inside as well as a small coffee menu. The owner is very talented and takes a lot of pride in her work. I heard they may even offer classes soon, which would be a fabulous addition for the area! The zucchini and pumpkin bread here are absolutely fabulous. Don't overlook this made-with-love bakery!"

Lizzie’s Bakery Nut Free

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"Cute new bakery that is nut free bakery in Shaker Heights! Super brightly lit and clean. Their baked goods are great too. Came here with my husband Saturday morning to check out the place. Several people already seated enjoying coffee and cookies. I love that they have gluten free options and the fact that the whole place is nut free. So good for families with kids who have allergies!"

White Flower Cake Shoppe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (39) • $

"I am so happy with this place! I reserved the room for a party on Saturday, and it was a cupcake decorating party. Patrons are allowed to bring their own food and drinks if interested. That's what really sealed the deal for me in choosing this place. Alcohol is allowed!The owner (or at least one of them?) was very nice and there during the party. She kindly stayed away from the celebrations but was easily found if we needed assistance. Clean up was so easy going. I mean, I think we did a good job but she didn't even check! It is nice when people aren't over bearing. I have to give a special shoutout to the macarons. Crispy, but not crumbly, on the outside, soft and slightly chewy in the middle, with light filling. So damn tasty!! Also, it's been three days since the party and the cupcakes are still moist. Good eating!! My sweet tooth in satisfied."

Sweeter than Honeycomb

"Amazing selection of huge portions of cookies, cake, pie, chocolates, bread, etc. They have unique items also like pineapple cream cheese bars. Soft tasty chocolate chip cookie and fantastic cookie dough brownie."

Stephanie Marie's

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I ordered from Stephanie Marie's for Easter, Thanksgiving, and a birthday. I am hooked. I have never received as many compliments on a cake before than I did when I brought her cakes to the events, and everyone said it was the best cake that they ever had. Thank you so much for the cakes, and making them a hit at our parties. I can honestly say that no other bakery can come close to the quality!"

Chanelle's Treatz

★★★★★ 4.5 (10)

"I just passed a MAJOR exam for school. I wanted to celebrate. I placed an order for a rainbow explosion cake. Let me tell you that this cake exceed my expectations. As you can see in the photo, the cake is beautiful! The baker is truly talented."

West Center Sweet Treats

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (5)

"Truly incredible! West Center Sweet Treats creations are delicious and beautiful! Communication is easy. Cake artistry at its finest. Madison has a wide variety of cake flavors, fillings and frostings. You can not go wrong with any sweet treat need from West Center Sweet Treats. :)."

The Sweet Fix Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (43) • $

"So excited to find a small bakery that offered vegan treats! We purchased the birthday cake and cookies and cream in a jar, both vegan and delicious. The service was on point, polite and insightful. The shop has many cake selection both vegan and non. Looks like at one point you could sit inside but that appears to be a prep area. Recommend supporting this sweet shop!"

Cakes DeeLux

"I ordered a cake for my daughter's first communion! It exceeded my expectations! So beautiful and the taste was delicious! Everyone raved -even the workers were asking who made the cake. This cake perfectly reflected the invitation that I gave to her to use an inspiration!! If you are considering a cake for your special occassion!!"

Mrs. Scott’s Sweets

★★★★★ 4.6 (12)

"Never let it be said that the world needs less donut shops. So the inverse to that statement is "thank goodness for the new donut shop in North Ridgeville Ohio". @mrsscottssweetsllc behind Get Go next to All Fired Up on Center Ridge Road is it just the right donut shop we need right now. They had me at fruity pebbles and kept me with Twix,Oreos, s'more's and all the other great concoctions they had that they call donuts. I was so excited I bought three dozen; one for my neighbors, one for the neighbor kids that were waking up from a sleepover and one for our household. My wife had the fruity pebbles and I had the chocolate with Reesie's cup and peanut butter. Both were #delicious , both were cake donuts and I even went back for seconds. They also have Macarons and cupcakes and cake pops. Definitely worth stopping into the next time you're going by. remember to #shoplocal"

Yellow House Bakery

"Absolutely amazing baked goods. Every time we stop things are fresh and delicious. They are open until sold out."

Colossal Cupcakes - North Olmsted

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (29)

"Is there any such thing as a bad cupcake? Funny thing happened on the way home from work today. I ran into my friend and was surprised with some great treats. Moist and huge. These are great cupcakes."

A Cupcake A Day...

★★★★☆ 4.3 (59) • $$

"So a nice cupcake place! We came on Mother's Day and the women working gave me flowers! We bought cupcakes for the whole family and they were perfect! We loved all the variety of flavors. Wish I lived closer!"

Cup Caked

★★★★☆ 4.2 (23) • $

"I've been getting cupcakes from here pretty much since she opened and have gotten a few custom cakes in the last 2 years or so. I've never had a guest say a bad word against the treats I served from Cup Caked. For my baby shower, I had a vague idea of what I wanted for a cake. Sherry did what she wanted and it turned out fantastic! I'm not creative and being the professional that she is, she was able to take my non-direction and make it great. My theme was "Ready to Pop" and she made the cake into an almost comic strip/pop art look. She was even sweet enough to make my cake pops look like balloons without me asking. My LO had her first birthday party and she made the smash cake look like a lemon for the "sunshine and lemonade" theme. Her prices are reasonable and I love the quality of cakes and variety of flavors. I've never even considered going to the local supermarket when I can go here."

Cakes By Maria and Joe

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (7)

"Maria and Joe are AMAZING! Killer cupcakes and cannolis...great people. LOVE supporting small mom and pop shops. Looking for a wedding cake ????? Go see this shop!!!!!! It's by Timberlake."

Frosted Cake Art

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"Beyond expectation. This is one of those special graces that you feel like only you know about.In 2021, Veronica and I started planning our May 2022 wedding. When it came time to try the cakes, we selected around 5 top rated cake places to try in the area. Frosted Cake Art was one of them. Mind you, before I review the cakes, know that Seema (Frosted Cake Art) is a home based business going up against long standing bakers, and the wedding venue itself which has over a dozen fine dining restaurants. We cannot complain about the other venues we sampled, however Seema's cakes were an obvious cut above the rest. "The Cake Tasting" itself was a beautiful experience, trying several frostings, cake types, and many fillings. Elegant and organized"The cakes" are consistently moist while still keeping their interior structure. We like to headline that point. Rare"The frostings" are ALL good. no alkaline taste, no granules, no empty taste, not hard like cold butter, nor are they too light and whippy. Smoothest texture you have ever experienced. Rare"The fillings" are exceptional. We wanted to use everyone of them. Even the more dramatic flavors we considered, although we didn't come in to the tasting thinking we would. All-in-all, for a small 75 person wedding, we decided to go with a multi flavored, 5 layer behemoth of a cake because we just wanted everyone to experience greatness. Greatness, folksSeema is a true professional. Seamless Seema. Aside from being a good baker, she has an excellent format of execution that sees the job through from beginning to end. She is patient and literally listens and applies all the details. She uses digital and actual templates throughout the process, willing to change and offer advice. Some fancy decorations we used....One was a "floating" top layer, giving a great effect. Another was a false cake layer where there was a statue of the bride and groom in a tunnel. She molded the bride and groom to spec. Seema used a picture of us both, plus a picture of the wedding dress. It was spot on and we plan on preserving this for life.God bless you, Seema. Thank you for an unforgettable experienceRick and VeronicaMarried May 28, 2022"

T'Cakes Cupcakes And Cookies

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"Love this little bakery for delicious cupcakes. I have stopped in here many times to grab a cupcake for a coworkers birthday or family members birthday. I have never been disappointed. They always have tasty flavors to choose from that I can't decide what to get."

All Occasions Bakery

★★★★★ 5 (10) • $$

"This is the place I've trusted to make special occasion cakes for like 9 years! They started with my wedding cake, which pretty much blew away any cake I'd tested up until then. Wedding cakes get a bad wrap for being beautiful but dry and tough to eat. Not here! They're beautiful and delicious, and literally every time I order from here, people rave about the cake and ask where I got it. Most recently (yesterday:) I served a gorgeous cake at my little's baptism. It was so pretty I didn't want to cut it, and was so delicious, fresh and light, everyone asked where I'd gotten it. I may have had two pieces myself. I also ordered the cutest Saint Patrick's day cookies which were also beyond delicious. They can pretty much make any cake you have in mind, and if you don't know what you want they'll help you pick the perfect design- they have tons of pictures to inspire you. And if you have nothing special coming up, just stop in for a cupcake or three- they're amazing, most recent faves are banana with caramel, and chocolate with salted caramel and pecans. Yum."

Patisserie 42

★★★★☆ 3.8 (4)

"I am afraid to let others know about this great bakery for fear they will be to busy for me in future. First off, called, left message and was promptly returned a call by Joanne. Joanne not only understood my complicated order but listened and reacted with great customer service. I then called to order a last minute cake to taste another flavor and i have to day, yum. Shared with my daughter, husband and son in law, who all agreed. It is very very good. Give them a try.In the voice of the Terminator "I'll be back""

Sunshine Cupcakes Etc

★★★★★ 4.5 (29)

"If you want the Best, Moist, Fresh bakery for cupcakes, and cake. Here it is! There are so many flavors too. I cannot say enough good things about this bakery. The only downsize is that I live just south of Cleveland, so it's not too close.There is no comparison. Great!"

Dudley Baking Company

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I had a birthday cake made for a friend by this bakery, and it was phenomenal. I don't usually eat a lot of sugar. However, this cake was so good I had more than a couple of pieces lol it was decorated beautifully. I wish I would've taken a photo, but didn't even think of it until it was all cut up and being eaten. I would definitely recommend this baker. The best part about purchasing from here is that it's a local company here in town."

Ieasha’s Cupcakes

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (5)

"I ordered some cupcakes from this establishment to be delivered via Postmates and was very disappointed. Not only was my order incorrect but the cupcakes were dried out and frankly store-bought. For a $3 cupcakes, I expected better! :( I do not recommend purchasing baked goods from this store."

DS Cakes & Sweet Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (43) • $$

"The polish cheesecake and strawberry muffins are great. The staff is awesome too. The new location looks great."

Even Batter

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (20) • $

"I never gave this place any thought of stopping in. It's not very impressive on the outside and the sign is not eye-catching and kind of hard to read. But my boss wanted me to get a cake there so I went in and I had read the reviews before going in. I can understand why people think that Jean is a little on the rude side. She was not rude to me but it's definitely not a warm fuzzy feeling when you're in there. It's all business and she is very good at what she does. We got a retirement cake of a golf course and it was perfect and it tasted fabulous. It was $80 for half a sheet cake which is much more than I would spend normally. She gave me a cookies and cream cupcake to try - it was so soft and so good and a caramel macaron that was excellent. I don't know if I would get another cake because of the price but I wouldn't mind stopping in for a special cupcake now and then."

Nothing Bundt Cakes

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Really, what is there not to love about Nothing Bundt Cakes? I stopped in for my free birthday Bundtlet last week. The woman at the counter was super friendly and fast, wishing me a happy birthday two times. I got the confetti cake bundtlet to celebrate the special occassion and it was delicious. Super moist and the best part is definitely the buttercream icing! There's kind of too much icing for the actual cake, but it's so good, you can just eat the icing by itself. This shop was probably the nicest one I've ever seen. I think it's new. Everything felt very clean and pristine. I first had Nothing Bundt Cakes at an event, which I think is perfect. You can order a variety of the smaller cakes for guests to eat there or to take on the go without all of the cake cutting hassle."

Bakes by Jill

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"We recently had a catered breakfast here at the office. Bakes by Jill was recommended. We had an amazing assortment of coffee cake and carrot cake muffins. Wow the muffins were moist and explosive with flavor. My favorite was the coffee cake, nice crunchy top, middle was baked to perfection and the muffins held together while eating them. To understand how good the coffee cake was you have to grasp the carrot cake, which was filled with a cream cheese center surrounded by fresh warm carrot cake. Full of flavor, moist on the inside and structurally sound on the outside. The carrot cake was almost as good as the coffee cake, but there has to be a winner and a loser, unfortunately today the carrot cake came in a close second. Any other time Mr. carrot you would have won; but today the clear winner is the coffee cake. Try them both and decide for yourself!"

"This place is unbelievable. Super helpful and friendly staff. The most delicious cake I have ever put into my mouth. This cake was gone in 3 days. Great size and absolutely delicious. Can't wait to have this cake again."

Rocco's Cupcake Café

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"YUM! Hefty on the frosting, but I'm not complaining! I am in love with the red velvet and their monthly/daily flavor changes are such a fun touch! It's quite a small cozy location! The coffee is also pretty wonderful, always friendly staff and I honestly have not a lick of complaints."

Michael Angelo's Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (169) • $$

"We came for Packzi from Columbus, after seeing this bakery on Facebook. They were out of the poppyseed and raspberry, but bought a peanut butter and strawberry cream to try. I will order in advance the next time we come up. I was thrilled to find poppyseed roll and kolachky cookies, so those came home with us, too. Just like my grandma made! Forgive me if I spelled the treat's names incorrectly."

Amelia’s Cakery

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"I ordered a Baby shower cake from Amelia and got the most beautiful, adorable, precious cake complete with gorgeous frosting rose details on the bottom layer. The colors , sage, gray, and pink, matched the nursery colors perfectly. The cake was adorned with adorable fondant farm animals too. It was a huge hit at the baby shower. Sounds of "mmm," "yummm," and "this is soooo good" could be heard all around the room. The white Almond cake with pink champagne frosting was to die for....all homemade too...even the fondant! Thanks Amelia!!She does fabulous themed kid cakes, birthday cakes, and cupcakes too."

The Cleveland Cupcake Company

★★★★★ 4.5 (29) • $$

"My workplace ordered cupcake catering (!) from this local company for a party, and it did not disappoint. Great presentation, cute little notes and designs, and, of course, the cupcakes themselves were fan-frikkin'-tastic.Later, I ordered some of their bacon-chocolate-chip cookies for myself and almost ate all of them just for lunch one day. What can't bacon do?"
