Very good cupcakes and great service. A must if in the Wilmington area. We had a coffee and cream, berries and cream, and classic chocolate cupcake.

Awesome cupcakes, made a gluten-free cupcake for my wife and she loved it. I had the peach cobbler one myself and it was also yummy.

This little place offers the best cupcakes I have ever had! My daughter and I started going to the S. Front Street location a few years ago and it NEVER disappoints. My husband and myself stopped in just yesterday while we were in town, and the service and cupcakes were exceptional as usual! We live about 4 hours away and stop in every time we are near by. My only regret was not buying more to bring back home with us. The owner is amazing as well!

Absolutely amazing cupcakes! We get these for every birthday, family event, bad day, and just because. However, they often close with no notice—even when they have their hours listed as open. We live almost 30 minutes away, and have driven downtown several times recently specifically to get cupcakes—only to find it closed. Closing when you need to, taking days off, and tending to your staff is genuinely really important. Not updating your directory listings, social media page, phone system, or literally anything to reflect the fact that you’re closed, however, is very uncool. It only takes 5 minutes to be considerate to your locals and loyal customers.Edit: 3 stars to 1 for the owner’s response. I am sorry for these hard times—I myself am overworked in a short staffed position, parenting, and facing these challenges. You should understand then how frustrating it can be when someone wastes your very limited free time. I also didn’t suggest updating everything every time you’re closed (notice the “or”)—but updating one thing takes less time than it does to post a note on the door. Several short staffed businesses in our area do it. But to post a note on the door means that customers have to drive all the way in before finding out you’re closed, and then driving all the way to the other location is not always an option. I am sorry to see such a harsh response. Sending best wishes to you.

Very disappointing. Cupcakes were dry and my son wouldn’t even eat one. The guy at counter used his bare hands to put strawberry on cupcake. Won’t return.

Awesome cupcakes and owner! Talk about a local owner working incredibly hard... almost (or entirely!) solo at times to adapt to this crazy difficult time for small businesses without sacrificing the quality of their product! Ingredients tasted fresh. Frosting was on light lighter and fluffier side which IMO MANY other spots ruin a good cupcake by murdering it with artificial tasting or overbearing frosting. Only fills orders THE DAY OF so be sure to get their early and get yours!

The cupcake was amazing. I had the peach cobbler and it really was the best cupcake I have ever had! The cupcake was so moist and the icing was delicious! The peach cobbler purée I put on top was top tier. It really was the icing on the cake literally lol! She was so nice too I really loved her hospitality!

Loved this place. The owner was so sweet and kind! We felt appreciated going here, it isn’t just business for her. She truly loves what she does and cares about the customer experience.

I was person who didn’t like cupcake that much because they were always super sweet and over creamery. However this cupcake just blew my stereotypes. I just bought two cupcakes but I really regret that I didn’t get more. Amazingly good! Price was bit high but totally worth it. Server was nice and friendly. Def coming back when I go back to Wilmington.

Cutest little spot. Freshly baked cakes topped with specialty favors as soon as you order. Loved the Turtle and nuts cupcake!! Thank you so much.
