The Cupcakery

Unfortunately it looks like they are out of business. The note about being temporarily closed is still there, and now there is also a «FOR RENT» sign in the window :-/

These cupcakes are awesomerrrr!!! Make sure to try the vanilla with pink buttercream icing. Mmmmm… Service is great also.

Looks nice but the cupcakes are just ok.

Would it hurt them to smile? To engage in some banter? To acknowledge the customer who is both smiling and trying to engage in some banter? It’s a freaking cupcake place, for heaven’s sake. Sunshine and lollipops and all that!
I live around the corner. I’ve been here twice and was not especially impressed with the cupcakes (the icing of some left a nasty film in my mouth, and the flavours were ok), but even less impressed with the shop’s atmosphere. I love that the small shops along St Clair have a neighbourhood feel — this one seems to be going out of its way to be different — and not in a good way.
I have a young daughter and I have no doubt that if this place lasts she will want to visit it often. I’ll take her the extra few steps to Baked on Lauder instead. At least then we’ll be walking off the few extra calories, plus I’m pretty sure they’ll smile at us when we walk in the door.

Pretty to look at but not enough punch! I thought there was not enough flavour in the vanilla cakes. It tasted more like angel food sponge cake…
Out of all the flavours I tried I liked the Red Velvet the most, the cake was good and the cream cheese icing was just right.
I placed my custom order on Saturday and picked them up Sunday and the cakes stayed moist for a few days. I would have liked to try one of the ice cream cakes but they only come in packages of 6…
Lemon Poppy Seed — not lemony, tangy enough!
Let’s Be Berry — just white cake with a few blueberries inside — missing something maybe some custard inside would have been nice
Red Velvet
Going Bananas– not enough banana flavour!
Cookies and Cream — just white cake with broken pieces of oreo
Back to Basics — chocolate cake with vanilla frosting

These are the most boring, basic, uninteresting cupcakes ever. Taste like grocery store baked goods. Lovely packaging can’t make up for lack of flavour and obviously cruddy ingredients. Take your business to Dlish or Bobbette and Belle if you want real cupcakes.

Got one of those group buy deals for a dozen cupcakes… I recently had a party to attend, so I called ahead and asked them to set aside a dozen assorted cupcakes for me. The cupcakes were mediocre — nothing special. I agree with some of the other comments… For example, the After Eight should have had more minty flavour… The Chocolate Overload flavour wasn’t very impressive either. The Goin’ Bananas flavour was the only flavour that was impressive because it was so unique/​different. Even the Principessa was meh. Overall, I would not be coming back here. I’ve had better (and moister) cupcakes elsewhere…

These are my favourite in Toronto!
I travel everywhere and get a cupcake from every city and these are my fave!
Recommended are the cookies and cream and the Vanilla!!!
They remind me of my mothers cakes when I was a child :) Always fresh the cake is not heavy and just the perfect amount of sweet for the icing.
I buy them now for all my functions my celebrity clients love them
Thank you!

Having read the filtered reviews (most of which are mind-​blowingly awful), I am shocked and appalled to learn so many people in Toronto have such horrendous taste in cupcakes. They’re all on crack. It’s the only explanation!!!
This review does not need to be long. All I need to do is point you guys in the direction of a handy dandy diagram I drew to explain the anatomy of their new-​fangled ICE CREAM CUPCAKES. These are not, as my boyfriend and I assumed, a cupcake that replaces the buttercream frosting with ice cream. No, that would be way too easy.
This is a chocolate case with a layer of cake in the bottom (how they manage to keep it so fluffy, I’ll never know. CAKE SCIENCE!!), a scoop of ice cream on top of that and then a healthy (ahem) top hat of buttercream frosting to finish it off.
Diagram:
Nobel Prize worthy.
NB: You can only buy the ice cream cupcakes in half a dozen increments. Tragic.

Not sure what was going on this day. The worker didn’t look so happy to be here. We only got 1 cupcake, but it didn’t taste that great. It was the After Eight cupcake. The cake was a little dry. The presentation was a little messy. Also about $ 3.

As part of a wedding party shopping for dresses on Sat afternoon, we decided that best thing that we could do in between shop visits would be to get a cupcake. Unilocal Blackberry App and a quick search later, bridal party is selecting a 6pack of cupcakes (for about $ 12) for the road.
I sampled two, one «After Eight» with a very dense chocolate base and a disappointingly not-​minty-​enough icing, and a Vanilla base with fresh berries topped with lemon icing, which was by far the better of the two.
Pros: Fun experience, small enough and inexpensive enough cupcakes that you can justify popping int o eat one or two.
Cons: Good, but not mind-​blowingly amazing. I’ve had better cupcakes and I was tres-​disappointed by the After Eight’s lack of mint. No seating at all. A little table with 4 stools would be great for those who want to eat without balancing their cupcakes on various displays.

This place has the best cupcakes in the city!!! And I’ve tried them all :)
Their principessa (vanilla with vanilla icing) is incredible. I adore their lemon poppyseed and oreo, too! Their cake is perfect and the icing isn’t too airy or fluffy and has the perfect amount of sweetness to it, unlike other shops that just dump a spoonful of sugar ontop of their cake!
I have called on them to prep for lots of events and they always have done an incredible job! It’s a bit annoying that they’re closed on Mondays and Tuesdays because somehow my cravings always hit on Mondays :)
This place is the best in the city forsure!!!

Wandering in on a hot Sunday afternoon, this place was air conditioned cupcake filled heaven.
Tempted by the colorful display of cupcakes, we bought a few to sample.
The Principessa is a vanilla cupcake with pink frosting.
An extra point for being pink but minus a point for having over-​sweet sugary, non-​buttercream frosting.
The red velvet cupcake was pretty.
But a bit dry on the inside.
The icing was nice and the cream cheese wasn’t over-​bearing like some other places.
Overall, if I am in the area, I’ll pop in for a cupcake or two.
I wish they had mini-​cakes all the time, but those are only available by special order.

The Cupcakery popped up along the St. Clair & Oakwood strip a few years ago and stood out with its cute awning and window displays.
They do their cupcakes very well. The cake is springy, there is just the right ratio of icing to cake and the icing is not too sweet or unctuous. On any given day they will have six flavours on display of which two will always be some sort of vanilla and some sort of chocolate. The colour of the icing will vary so you have to read the labels. Each cupcake is $ 2.50 or you can treat yourself to a six-​pack for $ 13.
I can’t give them more stars because I always feel like I’m interrupting a conversation when I go in there. I’m not expecting McService, or looking for chit-​chat, but cupcakes are an indulgence and I don’t want to leave thinking that I could have better spent my $ 13 on essentials like a pack of diapers and a loaf of bread.

I recently surprised a good friend with cupcakes for her birthday. I read that most orders need to be called in 24 hours in advance. Of course, I forgot to call and when I did remember, it was 18 hours. No problem for the Cupcakery!
Top billings for offering me cheaper alternatives to my original plan. I thought of doing a letter a cupcake, spelling out «Happy Birthday»; instead, they wrote «Happy Birthday Tiff» on the middle cupcake and decorated the ones around it with sprinkles in my friend’s favourite colour.
The next day, I was in and out of their store in under 5 minutes. Also loved that when I went to pick up my order (STD cream in hand), they had already packaged it in a lovely pink paper bag with black tissue paper and a bow. It was so pretty, I almost thought of keeping the cupcakes for myself!
