Lavish Cupcakes

Found this place after we found our regular cupcake shoppe closed down. They have many flavours on hand and all so far have been very tasty and moist. The service has been very friendly. They answer any questions you may have about the product. We were very satisfied and this will become our new regular spot when we need cupcakes.

While I love the opportunity to support a small business I have to say I was extremely disappointed with this place. I walked out mad at myself that I had just spent a small fortune on some dinky cupcakes. I was also not impressed with the taste, as they are small cupcakes I suppose it is difficult to keep them moist because the one I ate was incredibly dry. The red velvet cupcake I almost ate had a hair stuck under the icing which put me right off. There were two women working in the location and I did not find either to be particularly friendly.
Suggestions:
— remove the tacky barcode stickers from the top of your glass displays
— make a sign with the name of each cupcake flavour to display in the cases.
— adjust your pricing. I get that it is a niche business and you need to make a profit but when I can go elsewhere and walk away with a full specialty cupcake for the price of your mini cupcake it leaves a bad taste in my mouth

I was here about a week ago to pick up some cupcakes for a co-​workers birthday. I bought 12 of their mini cupcakes with the following flavours:
— Chocolate Chip
— Red Velvet
— Double Chocolate Caramel
— Dulce du Leche
— Lavish (which is a chocolate cupcake with a whip cream filling)
— Coconut
The cupcakes we delicious! Because they were mini cupcakes, I didn’t feel guilty eating two and still got a generous amount of icing. They were sweet but not too sweet and they were light and fluffy. Great texture and taste.
When I walked into the shoppe, it smelled heavenly. The woman behind the counter was busy chatting with another customer but she called a baker out right away to help me. The first question I asked was, «Do you have anything with bacon?» the baker said, «No, unfortunately, but I wish we did!» Here’s to hoping they add a funky bacon cupcake to the menu!
I have to say I was disappointed that I could ONLY get mini cupcakes on walk-​in (I could have ordered regular size, or even giant cupcakes if I had known in advance) but I suppose mini cupcakes were a good way to get a ‘taste’ for their product. They had 12 varieties for me to choose from but I only went with 6.
I would definitely head back here and may even special order some regular sized cupcakes the next time I have something to celebrate!
4 stars because they had only had mini cupcakes and nothing with bacon. Yeah, I love my bacon that much! ;)

I’ve definitely had better but I have had worse also, however for the price point ($ 2.25 per mini!!) I would say that they were a bit overpriced.
I just walked in and although the man at the counter was absolutely delightful it isn’t enough to keep me coming back since the cupcakes were just alright. The red velvet didn’t have the right flavour and just tasted like chocolate, not to mention there was not enough cream cheese in the icing. The piña colada was just vanilla with coconut while a true piña colada flavour should have a taste of pineapple and the dulce de leche hardly had any caramel or taste other than vanilla with extra brown sugar.
The buttercream held nicely though but the cake was dry by the time I took them home to eat after dinner and I had only purchased them at lunch time when they were fresh tasting at that time.

I didn’t feel that the cupcakes are worth the price. I find Lavish Cupcakes to be very expensive in comparison to many other cupcake specialty bakeries. First off, the texture of the cupcakes are good, very moist and flavorful but the overall design and the look of the cupcakes lacks design. They’re not very appealing to the eye. Last time I was there, I was hoping to order some goodies for my friend’s birthday and one of their staff told me that they only specialize in cupcakes and not whole cakes or other pastries which was kind of disappointing. I did not end up ordering from them because I went to Nedege instead for a better deal in terms of price but it would have been nice if they had more selections. The location of Lavish Cupcakes is in a commercial plaza near Weston and Langstaff. It was difficult to find and somewhat hidden, odd location for a cupcake bakery if you ask me, and parking is free in the plaza.

Lavish Cupcakes makes the best cupcakes! I come from a far distance and it is definitely worth the drive. I highly recommend the red velvet, piña colada and vanilla cupcakes. The cupcakes are very moist and delicious. Although pricey, it is worth it!

They’re not cheap, but find me a gourmet cupcake shop that is!
I stopped here on the weekend to grab some cupcakes as a gift (that’s my excuse!) and was not disappointed.
They have a delicious selection of miniature as well as large cupcakes and to tell you the truth, I’d take them all. I bought 6 minis which came to almost $ 14 so you can do the math, they’re not cheap but it’s a luxury. While I was waiting, the gentleman behind the counter gave me a sample cupcake to taste, pure heaven.
The thing I like about these cupcakes is that they’re not super sweet like some of the other shops I’ve purchased from. (Always for a gift of course) So my choices for the half dozen minis were:
Red Velvet*
Au Chocolat*
Black Forest
Cherry Chip
Orange Creamsicle
Mocha Maddness
Simply Vanilla*
Tuxedo Marble*
Tiramisu
Pina Colada*
Midnight Colada (Dark Chocolate Version of Pina Colada)*
AfterBite (Dark Chocolate with a hint of heat)
Chocolate Chip*
Cookies in Cream
Mint Chocolate Chip
Camp Fire (Chocolate, Marshmallow, Graham cracker crumble)
Lychee Martini
Sassy Strawberry
Razzy Raspberry
Chocolate Cinnamon Role
Sinful Cinnamon
Cinnamon Apple pie
Pumpkin Pie
Lemoncello
Oh Canada (Maple)
How can one decide??? The cupcakes marked with a «*» are the ones that are always available. Well worth the drive out here. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

An extra .75 cents per mini to visit here.
The owner is friendlier. The décor isnt as nice compared to nichols.
The vanilla based mini-​cups were good.

Best cupcakes ever!!! They are all as good as they look! The flavors explode in your mouth, and they’re so moist, quite addictive actually. Each cupcake is decorated intricately! Looks to good to eat! They make a perfect hostess gift, or any gift for any occasion! Worth every penny! Great job Lavish… they truly are…

Lavish Cupcakes are delicious, cute and pricey!
Great when I am on a diet and want to restrict my sugar intake…
Mini Cupcakes at $ 2.25 that I can just pop them in my mouth and finish one in one bite… but at this price point. I am eating slowly… really slowly to savoury every bite.
Hmmm… the cake base is really moist and the frosting is so good…
Remember I am on a diet… so this can be a perfect size…
Regular Size is $ 5 each… My «lunch special» cupcake…
There are also custom fondant super cupcakes for special occasion for $ 125. My «Omakese» Cupcake…
