Colossal Cupcakes - North Olmsted

I've visited this location twice and want to like it, but it is a little lacking. A single cupcake will set you back ~$7. They are big, and have interesting flavor combinations with tasty icing. The signs around the store really make you expect more, and that's where it's a bit disappointing. The advertise soft serve, and while there is a machine, it does not appear to be functional, or maybe it's just not in use. Either way... there is not ice cream. There's a cute little vending machine with a lot of pink princessy goodies, but it doesn't work. They only have bottled drinks, and a kind of weird selection. And the staff really aren't interested in the product - they ask what you want, but don't really offer suggestions or do anything other than stand behind the counter. Normally, I don't care, minimum wage does not buy enthusiasm, but it's cupcakes! Don't you have a favorite?

Not terrible but definitely not good. The cupcakes are large and the made-from-scratch cake is tasty, but the icing tastes strange. At this price point, I was expecting something exceptional. The only exceptional thing I got was a few overpriced cupcakes that I am not excited to eat. The shop is cute though. I should have read the reviews before wasting my hard earned cash.

Service at the N Olmsted store was great! Brie was very kind and willing to help us with our order and she just seems like a great asset to any business! My favorite cupcakes at the moment are the Oreo cheesecake, the one with the animal, cookie, lemon raspberry,.... Hmmm so many! The cookies and cream (i think) Macarons were to die for. And the sugar cookies Omg

Years ago I used to go to the downtown location when they first opened and the cupcakes were actually good. The quality has really gone down based on my experience at this location. Sure, there are a lot of cupcake flavor options that'll get you excited and perhaps confused on what to order, but don't expect any help from staff on deciding what to order. Finally settling on a confetti cupcake, I paid my $5 and got ready to enjoy a sweet treat. Sadly, the cake was dry, not like a typical soft moist cupcake should be. The pound of frosting on top is just for fluff. It was a bit hard (as if it sat out and dried up) and not like the typical smooth frosting you want to eat. There are no vegan options. Not sure if it's the recipe or the cupcakes sold are old. They sell a few cookies that are also $5 or 2 for $7. None really looked appetizing. The 'everything cookie' seems like a hodgepodge of 'let's throw a bit of chocolate in here' approach. So it's m&ms, choc chips, peanut butter cups, pretzels, etc. Way too much going on! Also, none of the cookies have descriptions on what are in them. The cashiers just wait there for you to pick. How about a smile and asking if I have questions or making suggestions (especially since I did mention it's my first time here)? The decor, albeit meant to be cute seems a little tacky with plastic chairs. Perhaps it's a way to distract from the dry cupcakes. (Loved the former pink sofa they had downtown, which gave it a more classy princess vibe.) The gum-ball display is ok and adds an element of color for photo opps. The sparkling floor is nice. Finally, I wanted to get another cupcake and needed some silverware too. I waited by the counter for a long time and no one ever came out. I literally had to open and close the door just for a bell to ring on the door and alert staff of my presence. Pretty annoying for someone in a hurry. Located in a small strip center, you can find free parking (unlike downtown). No restroom. Overall, not worth a stop given the quality of cupcakes gone downhill.

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.

Giant cupcakes! The place is absolutely an adorable candyland! Only complaint is the frosting wasn't the best for me and a bit pricey

You need to come in to colossal cupcake! The baker,cashier Saja was so happy to help us choose our perfect flavor! I tried the carrot cake was sooooo good! The cupcake was huge and So worth the price! The inside is so cute too perfect for girly girls and princesses!

Delicious homemade frosting ( not commercial). Clean and cute environment. Great service! Give them a try!

The cupcakes are way overpriced. The cupcakes are large terribly sweet and awfully dry. I have been there three different times and was unimpressed each time. I will not be back.

I was excited to try these much-talked-about cupcakes but was disappointed with the experience. For a $7 price point, I expected more than what was offered. A significant portion of the cupcake's size was due to an excessive amount of frosting, which I found to be inedible. Beneath the frosting, the actual cake did not meet my expectations either. It had a peculiar texture that didn't quite hit the mark for me, and the flavor was unexpectedly salty. Overall, the cupcakes did not live up to the hype. This was my second time trying them out. There won't be a third.
