I Am Cupcakes

Trying not to be harsh
A little hard to find and underwhelming
Not a lot of selection and not memorable
I wasn’t expecting much since I found a deal on Groupon for it

They did have amazing cupcakes, did not like how they were always closed but cupcakes were great. Recently learned they closed down, not sure how! Every time I went they were all sold out and I barley was able to get one I liked. But hey, never know the situation, sad to see them close.

I’m in love!!! I am not a cupcake fan, for the most part I find the cake, as well as, the icing disgustingly, instant tooth rot sweet. When I’ve received cupcakes or attempted to try a «new» shop, I’ve never made it past half the cake without having to drink half a bottle of water! And needless to say a pinky swipe of the icing and it would be scraped off.
I am cupcakes are gloriously good! The cake is perfect! Homemade Moist and sweet, the icing is creamy, flavorful and the right touch of sugar. Two cupcakes in… no water! I actually had a nice, creamy cup of hot chocolate! I would say I AM CUPCAKES has passed the test! Kudos! Highly recommended!
P. S. I WOULD HAVE TAKEN PIX but they GOT IN MY BELLY to quick. Mmmmmm nom nom nom

Very nice staff. But I was highly upset after I saw the Ninja Turtle cake was missing important details that were in picture provided. The cake was really small for the cost. As for taste, I was not able to say it was delicious and other party moms felt the same. Never again!

Their cupcakes are good but their inconsistent schedule pisses me off. They’re closed every time I go. I might as well just not go anymore.

I Am Cupcakes is delicious! Yes, they are expensive but so addicting and tasty. I usually bake my own cupcakes but I was having a birthday dinner for a friend at my house last minute and didn’t have time to bake. I called this store and ordered 1 dozen cupcakes. They asked me what colors I want, what flavors, etc. I wound up choosing chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and mini Oreos on top. I always thought cream cheese frosting only worked with carrot cake/​cupcakes but wow I was wrong. They were incredibly delicious and moist. Just perfect. I ate 2 and my friends are a few as well. I brought some to work the next day but only the most VIP friends at work were offered these precious cupcakes. If I happen to run into a situation where I need to order cupcakes again then I will definitely get them from I Am Cupcakes.

I have stopped in a few times when I’m visiting friends in Teaneck and I love this cute little sweet spot.
My fav cupcakes are the red velvet, French toast & pb&j. I love love love the cream cheese frosting on the red velvet & French toast! The pb&j has a jelly filling & rich peanut butter frosting (duh, it is pb&j)…I’m not into coconut but my boyfriend loves the cupcakes w/​the coconut on top.
As far as customer service the ladies that have helped me have always been friendly and helpful w/​suggestions. I can’t remember names but I just saw 2 of them on the cupcake show on the food network.
I give this place 5 stars — tasty cupcakes & good svc, what else can you ask for at a cupcake shop?

Three stars for very friendly service. Not all the same flavor cupcakes are available everyday. They suggest you call first, someone who answers will say to call the day before to order a certain flavor. I never did, I doubted they would make just one. The store is also closed sometimes. Not consistent at all. I can only assume since it’s a small family business it’s hard to stay open and cater/​handle events at the same time. It’s a girly type of store by the way of décor. Butterflies and sparkles and the color pink is what I remember. I went twice, and both times the cupcake cases were practically empty. Is that a good or bad thing? I don’t know. I just felt that I had to choose what was left or whatever was made that day instead of having their menu available daily.
The actual cupcakes are VERY dense and small, but there is a ton of frosting. Maybe too much IMO. I’ve tried: peanut butter and jelly, almond joy, red velvet, vanilla and carrot cake. Not a lot of flavor in the actual cupcake, the frosting is SUPER sweet. The frosting consumes the cupcake. I happen like a better ratio in cupcake to frosting. The peanut butter and jelly, almond were SO SWEET. Great concept, just didn’t nail it perfectly. It’s just a different style of cupcake. If you happen to like a really really sweet frosting, piled high on your cupcake, then this is the place for you. Just don’t expect to walk in to try a certain flavor in their menu when you do. You might have to call them a day ahead.

A friend invited me and my husband for dinner. I wanted to bring some cupcakes for dessert. I saw good reviews of I Am Cupcakes, so I stopped by on the way to purchase some cupcakes.
There were not many cupcakes displayed. It looks like they make only a certain amount to sell each day. I bought 8 different variety of cupcakes.
The cupcakes were lovely. So pretty and colorful and looked so appetizing. That’s why I am giving a star, for the pretty appearance.
The cake itself was good, too. Moist and well made. There goes another star for them.
But, it’s the icing! I really don’t get why a lot of bakeries overload their frosting and icing with sugar.
Yes, I love sweet treats and desserts. But, I don’t like eating just sugar! Especially, when I am paying that much money, I expect something more than just sugar! I bake at home myself. You can make good desserts without pouring tons and tons of sugar in there.
It seems like people these days just love to gulp down food loaded with salt and sugar, and believe that it was good. But honestly, I think a lot of restaurant just like to use heavy salt and sugar to cover up the bad taste or ingredients of their food.
My friends and I had to take off the icing on top and still could not eat more than one each. Four of us took four cupcakes and split them to taste different cupcakes. Red velvet, pecan pie, strawberry shortcake, and almond joy. All well made moist cakes that were sadly overloaded with heavy and overly sweet icing. After eating, your mouth and stomach feels heavy and yucky from the overwhelming amount of sugar…
I would go back… if they cut down on the amount of sugar in the icing! At least lower the price a little if you are goung to give me something that is half sugar!

I love I am cupcakes! They’re friendly, accomodating and even helped me when I got lost on my way to get my cake and cupcakes (which were amazing!) Im from Montréal and I was able to get exactly what I wanted. You ladies rock! See you soon!

Love it love it love it, the taste delicious, the price is excellent and great location, well decorated fun place to visit … Great customer service friendly and approachable will definitely return … And I loveeee the pink box and turquoise color bow lol

On I Am Cupcakes website it states that the store promptly opens at 12 on Saturdays, and so on Saturday I arrived at I am Cupcakes at 12. However, there was a sign displayed closed until 1pm. And so, I drove around for an hour or so to kill time. When I returned at 1 something they had 3 types of cupcakes out and a few more in the back. Just the whole presentation of the store did not agree with me. If you say you’ll be open at a certain time, you should be aware that customers will then come at a certain time. Be prepared!

Great cupcakes friendly staff and great selection. They use fresh ingredients and pack cupcakes In nice boxes.

Very delicious Cupcakes and lots of different flavors, pretty much any flavor you can think of they have. Owner is very cool, smiles all the time.

The owner helped me, and she was super sweet… just like the cupcakes! I got a variety, and they were all good (by report!). My son loved the Oreo cupcake. Yum!

I absolutely love specialty cupcakes! This is a growing trend and now there are so many stores that sell gourmet cupcakes! I’ve tried them all! Let me tell you when it comes to desserts, I am obsessed! I work in the food industry so I have tried A LOT of restaurants and food services in big cities and in local towns.
So to get to the cupcakes! Out of all the cupcake stores I’ve tried, I was very dissappointed in I Am Cupcakes. I shared the 8 cupcakes I purchased one of each kind with some of my colleagues and we all came up with the same conclusion. There is nothing special about it for the price that is being sold. I can tell especially with the peanut butter and jelly cupcake, the ingredients used were not up to par when we say gourmet cupcakes. Definitely the real peanut butter and good quality jelly was not used or at least did not taste like it.
Not only were the ingredients used were poor, the size of the thing was so tiny! The frosting ratio to the cupcake was astonishing. There were a lot more frosting than the cake! This is probably the smallest cupcake I’ve ever seen and had compared to all over 20 gourmet cupcake shops I’ve been to. I Am Cupcake charges $ 2.75 & up for each cupcake.
The store was very gloomy, dark and looked not too clean.
Definitley not somewhere I would like to go and pick out some baked goods.
All I saw was 1 display window for cupckaes and that’s it. Oh yea maybe an old table and a chair too.
The whole point is… So what if the cupcakes looks good? They do NOT taste great. I will definitely not go agaiin. My professional opinion, not worthy of marketing this particular place until they learn to get it right.

I love my cupcakes and have been a big a fan of some of the other cupcake shops in the area. When someone metioned trying this place because I was going to be passing by on my way to a super bowl party. I thought why not. I didn’t really expect much but thought they would be fine to bring along.
I was so suprised. The place is so cute and the staff was so friendly. They were quick to make up some extras of the flavors we wanted.
The cupcakes were a huge hit. They were moist and the frosting was not to heavy and sweet. That can kill the cupcake.
We all loved them and we will be back. Everyone had a different favorite but for me it was the Peanut Butter and Jelly… Soo Good!

Awesome cupcakes. Dare I say, better than Mr. Cupcakes? My favorites are the cupcakes with a cream cheese based frosting, such as the red velvet.

Cute and delish!
I checked this out on Lor A’s recommendation and I’m glad I did. The woman working in the shop when I went by was really sweet and immediately leaped into explaining the cupcakes they had that day.
I was a bit disappointed that they had only limited flavors, but it makes sense given the lack of foot traffic coming in and out. I wanted to try the smores, mint chocolate and the chocolate chip cookie cupcakes. Instead I tried a few others — my favs being the panda and red velvet.
Not the best cupcakes I’ve ever had, but definitely good, and they’re such nice people! If you get the «special» of the day, it’s $ 1.75, otherwise they’re $ 2-​$ 2.50 each.
The woman advised me that if you call a couple days in advance, they’ll make whatever you want. Keep that in mind if you’re picking them up for a dinner party!

Visited I Am Cupcakes to pick up dessert to bring to a Friday night BBQ. This place is located on the corner of Main Street and John Street in Little Ferry in a «house storefront» if you will. I was warmly greeted by the owner when I stepped inside and she thoroughly explained all of the varieties of cupcakes she had that day. They did not have an overabundance of cupcakes at that point, but I should point out that it was 6:00 PM.
I decided on a dozen mixed variety of cupcakes — red velvet, Snickers, Oreo, S’mores (my favorite dessert EVER), and a few vanilla cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles for the less-​daring, faint-​of-​heart folks.
The cupcakes were a huge hit. The S’mores cupcake had a graham cracker crust on the bottom, topped with fluffy marshmallow frosting. Even my man (who is not a dessert fiend like I am) loved the red velvet cupcake. He commented upon the denseness of the cream cheese frosting, the moistness of the cake and the overall weight of the cupcake. He’s going to give me a run for my money if he starts Unilocaling! His sentiments were echoed by the other folks at the BBQ.
Each cupcake was between $ 2.00 and $ 2.50 each, but believe me when I say that they were well worth it.
This place blows Mr. Cupcakes away. Don’t even bother schlepping to the mall — go here instead.
