The best!!! James and the Giant Cupcake made our wedding cake & cupcake tower - not only were they DELICIOUS (and vegan and gluten-free!!!) and got tons of compliments/friends asking us where we got them/where they could get more, but they were also a dream to work with and made them beautiful! They set them up on-site for us & did a fantastic job. I highly recommend for weddings! I also will be back just for the cupcakes❤️Thank you!!!!!

Amazing cupcakes, cute shops, and nice staff! Aaaaand they always have gluten-free selections. What could be better?

I dont consider this a black owned business as the sign suggests

Cupcakes are pretty good run out pretty quick so get them early

Salted caramel banana cupcakes are amazing.

James and the giant cupcake is BIPOC woman-owned and my absolute favorite Bakery in the East Bay! Eurydice is a gem that comes up with cool flavor combinations, catchy names and bakes the best red velvet cupcake I've ever had! Several years I've replaced birthday cake with cupcakes from James and the giant cupcake, to rave reviews! The Emancipation of Mimi is a rare appearing favorite, never pass up a chance to get one.

So many good options to choose from. I think they're also one of the best cupcake places in the bay area

Brilliant Customer Service

Had an assortment of the cupcakes available (major bonus for the mini sizes) and will definitely be going back for more.

Can't just have one
