I wanted to love this place as much as the reviews think I should. Maybe I visited on an off day, or maybe it’s just not my cup of tea. I purchased a peach/lavender cobbler cupcake - there was no lavender flavor to it which was disappointing. The other flavor we tried was chocolate revelation & the consistency of the cake seemed very dry. The place itself was cute, clean, reasonably priced, and the proprietor is super friendly.
The cupcakes were delicious. We tried 4 different variety of cupcakes, and were not disappointed! The staff was friendly, and answered any questions we had about the different options. I was a little disappointed that only one location was currently open due to staffing shortages, but still worth the trip.
Hands down one of the best cupcakes I have ever had! I tasted the Key Lime, it was light and flavorful but not overly sweet. The crumb of the cake itself was perfect. This is a must visit place.
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.
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!
I absolutely love the Peppered Cupcake! I have been to both of their Wilmington locations and love all of the cupcakes I've tried. When I say they have options, THEY HAVE OPTIONS. Berry kinds, chocolate kinds, coffee/mocha kinds, pepper kinds, etc.Did I mention that their gluten free cupcakes are AMAZING?!!! My roommate doesn't eat gluten free but said that the gluten free ones taste even better than the regular ones. If I could go here every day, I would.
It's a difficult decision to select which delicious cupcake to choose. Be sure to ask if they have more of your selection! I thought the display case was almost empty but they seemed to have plenty behind the counter. Of course, I would have liked a larger cupcake because they were so good. Not inexpensive to be sure for a cupcake.
What a nice spot for a relaxing get together with a friend for an absolutely magnificent cupcake. There are plenty of flavors to choose from, some more adventuress than others, hence the name. They have reasonably priced coffee and tea to accompany these tasty treats. Stop by and give them a try, I don't think you will regret it!
