Cupcake A La Mode

Cupcake A La Mode was my favorite cupcake chain when I used to frequent the plaza. With bright colors, pink all around, the cupcakery was a delight. This one in Lee's Summit? Not so much. None of the pretty colors. No sparkle, no glam, not the same at all! My toddler and I split a strawberry cupcake. We inquired about their selection, wanting to bring home a dairy free treat for her brother, but the employee wasn't too confident about their ingredients. Also, while we were snacking, a lady walked in and asked the employee a flavor suggestion for a girl's birthday. The employee basically said "I don't know" and left it at that. Being the chatter box that I am, I spoke up, suggested the delightful strawberry cupcake, and the lady ordered quite a few.Spruce the place up and find some employees a bit more enthusiastic about the product, please!

We took our daughter to get a birthday cupcake on a weekday afternoon and we arrived to a full selection of cupcakes. All flavors including their specials were available as well as cake pops and truffles. She chose Dr Love, an incredible moist chocolate cupcake with fluffy strawberry frosting and topped with a strawberry and chocolate syrup. The frosting won with this one. She couldn't eat it all. Are the expensive, yep. Right under $5 for one but I bake at home and baking the cupcakes is tough enough to make them perfectly even. Icing cupcakes is an art. You are paying for the art of the cupcake. They also use quality ingredients (you can see their stock from the counter). I knocked a star off because although the man at the counter was kind he was aloof and kind of a bummer for a little girl on her birthday about to get a delicious cupcake. The actual eating area needs an update, there is nothing about it that makes you want to sit and enjoy your cupcake. This place for sure has potential to be five stars.

These are THEE BEST cupcakes around, always fresh and delicious. DoorDash tends to do a bad job delivering them all upright so recently I've just picked them up myself to deliver them and have had zero issues with tipping over. My absolute favorites are the wedding cake and let it snow, but I've never tried one I don't enjoy. Perfect little 4pack makes the best gift too! All my friends and family have also enjoyed them thanks to me.

Sorry to report the former cupcakery has left and we now have Cupcake A La Mode. What I hoped would just amount to a name change amounted to more than that. 1. No small mini cupcakes available except by special order2. On Thursday's (not certain about other days) there are no specials - full price ($4.00 ish) for one cupcake3. No water cups available - they will sell customers bottles of water. (At $4.00 a cupcake they should give ya a dixie cup of water...) 4. My 'nutella' cupcake was similar in taste & texture to those grocery store or walmart bakery cupcakes well-meaning co workers bring in for a 'treat.' The kind where you thank them, take one bite while they're around, and then inconspicuously ditch them. No real chocolate or hazelnut flavor, but it was dark in color... if that's supposed to count for something... nah, it really doesn't. It was overly sweet and on the dry side. Baked today? I highly doubt it.The only thing that would have made this bitter pill of a mediocore cupcake go down better would have been... ahem.... some water.

I asked if it was real buttercream . I do not like shortening or that fake frosting all the stores order in a vat. She assured me it was real buttercream...It was pretty bad frosting.. all I tasted was powder sugar and water. Very sweet. Should have just rolled them in sugar. The almond one had an over powering fake almond flavor. That was just wrong. I don't know who taught these people how to make frosting but this isn't right . Get it together you have a great location but people want quality. Pinch of salt is also necessary .

cupcake a la mode is not the same anymore. cupcakes not as fresh...went on monday but tasted like it was a week hold.

I used to love getting cupcakes from here but the last few times we've went the service is awful and options are limited. This time they finally had my favorite cannoli cupcake. Super disappointed when I took a bite and the icing was hard and the cupcake was under cooked and doughy. For the prices they are asking they must do better. What happened?

The cupcakes here are amazing! I have really enjoyed every cupcake I have tried, but my favorite is the wedding cake. The cake is moist and delicious, and the frosting is amazing! I normally do not eat frosting on cake but I do on these cupcakes!

Do not recommend this company, especially when delivered with GrubHub. I ordered $60 worth of Cupcakes, and this company packaged them so poorly that when they arrived they were all on their sides and inedible. See the picture attached. When I told GrubHub immediately of the issue GrubHub allegedly called the merchant (which is Cupcake A La Mode) and the merchant (Cupcake A La Mode) declined a refund for the order, though their packaging caused the entire order to be delivered broken and inedible. Despicable company and they will be hearing from the Missouri Attorney Generals office.

I ordered cupcakes for my daughter 3rd Birthday Yesterday And When I Say I'm Very Disappointed The Cupcakes We're HARD DRY TO SWEET ICING WAS DRY HARD AND TO SWEET I Can't Believe Trying Then Dir The First Time And This Is What I Get On My Baby's Birthday Smh NEVER AGAIN!!!
