Amy's Cupcake Shoppe

We had the BEST girls night taking Amy's macaroon making class!Located in downtown Hopkins is the cutest little bakery. The class takes place in the back kitchen area where they have designated baking stations with all the tools, equipment and ingredients set up for you! We had so much fun being able to pick out our own colors, fillings, and flavors. Im a red velvet girlie and my friend chose to do a fun, champagne filling flavor! There were so many flavors and colors to choose from, you really can't go wrong! Amy, the owner, leads the class and is so kind, down-to-earth and helpful with every step. There's a break halfway through the class to allow for your macaroons to bake. This is the perfect time to grab a quick drink or bite to eat at one of the nearby bars or restaurants. Although I doubt I could ever re-create these master piece macaroons on my own without Amy's expertise and help, it was a really great experience and the best, most delicious macaroons I've ever had! We each came out with a big batch and box of our own personal creations and was able to enjoy them for days after!! I highly recommend the class or just stopping by to purchase for the best macaroons ever!!

You might think this place is only for cupcakes, but you'd be wrong! Their cupcakes are amazing, but I chose the caramel roll, which was pillowy soft and the caramel was really delicious and buttery. you can get a variety of coffee beverages also. Definitely a great go to in Hopkins. They also organize an annual bakery and brewery bike tour that features 32 miles of round trip biking and six tickets for beers and baked goods along the way!

I have already been a fan of Amy's for the occasional sweet treat, but taking the macaron making class with Jenn took my adoration for this local bakery to new heights! We got to pick out our own flavor combinations and Jenn patiently walked us through the process, giving us helpful tips as we went. The class allows for a dinner break, giving us an excuse to check out one of the many restaurants within a short walk. We ended up coming home with an abundance of macarons and the recipe to make them again at home. Getting to work "behind the scenes" in the bakery with only a group of 4 made the event feel personal. We all learned a lot about technique while having a wonderful time. I highly recommend the experience!

so happy I treated myself & da adorb hubby to the Macaron of the Month Box from Amy's Initially, the flavors drew me in: Lychee Lime, Coconut Raspberry, Vanilla Latte, and Rosewater And then I was blown away by the beautiful packaging and the delish macarons.... Omg!!!You TOTALLY knocked them out of the park!!! NAIL IT!!! I used to spend hours making batches of macarons trying out the Italian, French, and Swiss methods but never reached anywhere close to this level of perfection!!Look at these: Unbroken beautiful macaron feet Smooth, crispy, eggshell like top Filing Ratio Matching shells 12 fresh macarons, 3 per flavor, in temp-resistant packagingI'm now an Amy's Cupcake Shoppe stan Gotta support your local baker extraordinaire!!!

I needed a last-minute gluten and dairy-free cupcake for a friend's birthday. I called Amy's, and they informed me they had a vegan, gluten-free burnt butter option that was "most similar" to white cake (which I was looking for). I quickly drove there and grabbed two of those and six other flavors for the rest of my party. At the dinner party later that night, my friend was amazed by her special birthday cupcakes and couldn't stop raving about them. She said they were absolutely delicious. I usually don't eat specially-made cakes because I don't have any allergies, but I tried a bite, and they did not disappoint! Unbelievably divine! Oh, and the frosting - can we talk about the frosting for a second? I usually take off 3/4ths of the frosting on any cupcake I eat. I gobbled up all the frosting on Amy's cupcake. It is amazing. It is light, but not too whipped. It is flavorful, but not overly sweet. I'm not sure what she is doing, but it might just be the best frosting I've ever had. Strike that - it is the best frosting I've ever had. My friend and I are planning a trail walk now, just so we can go get burnt butter cupcakes again! Amy's Cupcake has really nailed it. We will definitely be back. Amazing!

Wonderful store. Everything is delicious! Very friendly staff.I LOVE the macaroons!! Cute gift shop too!

Drove 20 mins to get here and it was worth it! They had multiple cupcake options to choose from where you can find a type that fits your palette. I got the mint chocolate chip and almond wedding and my roommate got the funfetti birthday and vanilla bean. The icing was nice and not thick at all and the cake was soft! They had a small seating area and free water if you decide to eat in the shop! Will definitely be back! I will try the macaroons next time

Service was terrible. I don't know that I've ever waited longer with a more rude staff for a product you can make better at home.

Amys not only.makes some of the best cupcakes in the city, they make some of the best desserts overhaul. Everything from the macaroons to the cookie sandwiches are Divine. Inadditon, they can do custom orders like a beautiful stein cake they did for our Oktoberfest party.

Nice local hometown business and great service, friendly and caring. They have nice employees!
