Rocket Queen Cupcakes

I needed cupcakes to bring to my daughter’s classroom and since there is one gluten free kiddo, I called a few bakeries in Albany. We are new to the area so I knew nothing about any of them. When I called Rocket Queen, I was informed that they did have gluten free cupcakes so I asked if I had to order them or if I could just come buy one and then regular cupcakes for the rest of the class because I needed them that same day. «We have some made, so you can just come by» was the reply I got. SO I drove WAY far out onto a hwy, following my GPS in my car… I finally found the street and the house, but there was no indication that it was a business– not even a sign on the mailbox or garage… I assumed that I had to be in the wrong place so I called phone number back and got no answer. For the next 20+ minutes, I drove around the neighborhoods, looked online and called over and over again. No one ever picked up and I never found it. Luckily, Market of Choice in Corvallis had gluten free cupcakes so I went there. I did get a text from the number that I was calling that said «who is this?» (probably because I called so many times). I sent a text back explaining that I was the one who called earlier and I drove around looking for them. The only response I got was «I’m sorry». I think that answering your business calls with a text is unprofessional, and I think that an explanation would have helped. Luckily, I looked at Urbanspoon and saw that they had replied to someone else who had the same problem or I never would have know what happened. Disappointing and a HUGE waste of my time/​gas.
Suggestion: Update your address on Urbanspoon, Unilocal,etc. If you moved to Portland in April as your Facebook page suggests, I feel like 10 months is enough time to have done that.

Such a life saver!
When the bakery hired to make our wedding cake stopped returning our calls, Rocket Queen stepped in to save the day (with less then a week’s notice)! I didn’t realize how lucky I was the other bakery backed-​out (and kept our deposit!) until I had my first bite of my wedding cupcake.
Perfect combination of moist, sweet and soft. My guests raved about how beautifully they were arranged, how deliciously intense the flavors were and how perfect it was to mingle with a cupcake in hand.
She is truly the master of the cupcake.

I wanted to impress my Batman Lover of a boyfriend so what better way then to get him batman themed cupcakes! I’ve heard great things about rocket queen and I was set that she would create my master piece for him!
I order 3 dozen cupcakes, Oye como va which was amazing! Fresh and full of flavor, I honest wanted a margarita after eating that cake! Then was Dr. Feelgood, this was also superb. If you are a chocolate lover this hits the spot! Finally a red Velvet, very delish!
Rocket Queen did an excellent job on the order, the theme was spot on and he loved every cupcake! She is an amazing baker and such a nice person :) if I ever need anymore special orders I’m going to her!!!

Rocket Queen makes the best cupcakes I have ever tasted (and any time I go to a new town, I generally try to check out the cupcakes, so it’s not like my experience of cupcakes is limited to grocery store stuff or anything).
Jessica is really creative with the flavors, and I have never tasted anything she made that was not delicious. The cake is perfect — I hate the word «moist» but it really is. The crazy flavors are fun but when you try something basic like a vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream you can tell what an artist she is – there’s nothing boring about her basics.
Darn it, now I want a cupcake.

True story: Eating one of the Rocket Queen’s Lemon-​Raspberry cupcakes in bed resulted in accidentally waking my husband from a deep sleep with my sugar-​satiated moans of mastication. I would have been embarrassed about displaying that level of passion over a cupcake but it really was THAT good.
Un-​freaking-​believable how delectable this lady’s cupcakes are. Do yourself a favor and try the enthralling complexity of the «Wine Colored Roses» (Merlot and balsamic in a cupcake? Yes, please.)
Or wrap your mouth around the perfectly balanced and indulgent «Squealer» (bacon maple buttercream perfection). Or grab any of her other flavors– this woman and her team can’t make a mediocre cupcake.

I have a serious addiction to these cupcakes, I think about them all the time. The flavors are so interesting (can you say carrot cake with goat cream cheese frosting? OMG), and I have loved every single concoction they’ve come up with.
Fantabulous.

Lots of people can bake cupcakes. And there are plenty of other boutique cupcake shops. Rocket Queen Cupcakes is less about cupcakes and more about embracing an attitude, ambition and ass-​kicking-​lifestyle that is unique. There is nothing else like it in the Mid-​Valley.
It sounds corny but I’m totally serious. Just meet the owner Jessica and talk to her for 3 minutes. You’ll know what I am talking about.

The are the best cupcakes I’ve ever tasted.
Jessica is always creating new crazy recipes that just might work. And you know what? They always work. Every cupcake I’ve tasted has been awesome.
They have a large size and a small mini size which is perfect for little tastes of a bunch of different kinds.
Alright, now I’m hungry…

Jessica shipped me some Squealers (bacon maple cupcake) and they were SO GOOD, even after being shipped. Most cupcakes are all about the frosting-​to-​cake ratio, relying on large amounts of frosting to compensate for bland cake. But Rocket Queen cupcakes are good all the way through — you could totally eat the cake sans frosting and it would be delicious!
Candied bacon is also, by the way, the shortest path to my heart.

I Love the Product, the business and the people — what more can you say!
Rocket Queen is very interested in working with local business to create win win situations, their product is top notch and their committment to customer service is of the highest standard.
Plus they are just a ton of fun to be around!
I really appreciate their willingness to have GREAT TASTING Gluten Free options that are every bit as yummy as their gluten filled counter parts.
The Master Baker Jessica handles every special order with grace and humor.
I would not hesitate to put my desert needs in their hands — whether it be for a platnium level wedding or a single thank you gift!
