PinkaBella Cupcakes

They have really good cupcakes. Seems to depend on flavor and day though. I’ve special ordered the pink champagne ones twice and they have been moist and delicious. The frosting was very good and very pretty for a girls birthday party as they had pink pearls. I also love the cookie dough Cupcakes as well! the only negative is sometimes we have tried a flavor and the cupcake itself was dry or overlooked but the frosting itself is always good.

My sister received one of these cakes for graduation and was extremely disappointed! The cake was so overly expensive but a huge margin it was around $ 100! Then when we opened the box with excitment to see a hundred dollar cake we opened it to find they didn’t even get the colors of the cake right! Plus the zebra stripes we asked for were black and white straight lines! On top of that the chocolate bread was stale tasting and no what moist! Overall the cakes taste was not very good even for a $ 20 cake I would be disappointed. I’d urge you to not purchase a cake here.

These are the best cupcakes. I tell people that, but they don’t believe me until they get one and say things like «…the CAKE. THIS ICING. THERE’S CREAM IN THE MIDDLE.»
Any of the ones with fruit in them are so fresh and delicious. The strawberry ones in the summer are the best!

I got a Groupon and got cupcakes to donate to a fund raiser. They were generous and helpful and the cupcakes were reported to be dee-​lish! Thank you, PinkaBella!

Used them again for a baby shower this summer and it was perfection once again! They are my go-​to place for cupcakes and cakes! We ordered two dozen mini lemon cupcakes!

I love these cupcakes, but the prices seem to keep going up. Even my mom was shocked I spent $ 8 on 2 cupcakes :/​also a little background music would be great since its so quiet!

Throwback… when PinkaBella Cupcakes used to be exactly $ 3.00. They keep raising the prices I believe it was $ 3.25 now $ 3.50, whats next $ 4.00 for a cupcake? Theres too much frosting on the cupcake and the frosting was toooooooooooo sweet. Every time I go here its the same flavors over and over again. Care to switch some out? It would be nice to have some sort of pumpkin spice, cookies and cream, french toast, etc flavors. The whole vibe of this place is a little tacky, it would be nice to have some light music playing because its so damn awkward walking into a really quiet shop

Too expensive!!! 1 dozen Boston Crème Pie cupcakes = $ 50. Other than that they were very good and the presentation was nice. The price blew me away, I guess I don’t like cupcakes that much. Maybe 1 cupcake for a special occasion would be a better way to get around the sticker shock.

Good cupcakes, good selection, good service. I have been craving good cupcakes – grocery store cupcakes just were not cutting it. We happened to stumble in and went in immediately. We were greeted promptly and in a friendly manner. I chose a red velvet and coconut cupcake, my husband chose cookie dough and some kind of peanut butter madness. We both agreed they were good– cake was moist and light not dense. It was on the more crumbly side. There was a lot of icing but that’s how we like them. The icing was not overly sweet, it was a good balance. I really liked my coconut cupcake. We spent about $ 15 on 4 cupcakes. I read another reviewer saying she spent $ ²⁰⁄₄ — the cost does depend on what kind of cupcakes you choose. All the cupcakes had little signs with their names and prices. When we walked in it was a middle of the week evening and they still had quite a variety. There were a few empty spaces (about 4 or 5) but there were at least 8 kinds left for us to choose from

We compared these to frost, hands down these are better! Wife and I loved loved them.

These are good solid cupcakes. The cake is usually moist and the frosting not too over whelming. They do interesting and seasonal flavors that are always good.
My wife and I used Pinka Bella to cater our wedding and opted for the almond cake over the traditional vanilla and it was a huge hit. They came and set it all up at just the right moment before our ceremony and the display looked great.
We usually try and stop in if we’re at the mall and grab a couple to take home.

Delicious! Everything was a hit at my husband birthday party, which was also the same day as the Super Bowl! the Seahawks cupcakes were wonderfully decorated and yummy. And my husbands cake, the boom!!! The best cake ever!!! Thanks PinkaBella Cupcakes!!!

Good lord! I’m surprised they are in business. I got some cupcakes for my husbands 30^th birthday.
They just opened, so I was hoping for the freshest. But the cupcakes were cold, and dry! When I called to ask if they were fresh.
the employee said they were made the day before and they keep in the refrigerator over night, sometimes a few days.
So for $ 3+ per cupcake. Go to Trophy Cupcakes or make your own. Really, the worst cupcakes.

Ah-​mazing! Very cute inside but very pricey! $ 20 for 4 cupcakes. I started to walk out when I saw the prices but it was my daughter’s b’day so I bit the bullet and payed the high prices and I’m glad I did. Best. Cupcakes. Ever. They had a Groupon which I decided against because I didn’t think I needed almost $ 40 worth of cupcakes. I wish I had done it and refrigerated the rest. I took off a star for the high prices and the not so friendly service. I will be back for an overpriced cupcake when I’m in the area!

I was torn between giving this 2 or 3 stars, and elected to go with the higher of the two based on the customer service when I was there.
The cupcakes werent impressive to me. They were good, but not much more than average. They were indeed moist, like most of the reviewers said, but they were also crumbly and messy to eat. Their flavor selection was decent, I think they had 6 flavors when I went in. Their prices are a tad high, but I guess thats assumed when youre located in a mall.
My friend came in with a Groupon, and realized that it was Mother’s day and the coupon is not valid on holidays. The person working was very polite in telling her that it wasnt valid, but she would check with her boss. After being unable to reach her boss, the girl gave my friend the Groupon deal, because we drove from over an hour away and probably would not be returning anytime soon. Great customer service, but just OK cupcakes.

I loved these cupcakes! Salted Caramel, Honey, they were the best. The only reason I’m not awarding more stars is the cost. Thirty-​Six Dollars for a dozen cupcakes just seems excessive to me. I would come here a lot more often if the cupcakes cost half that. Even a dozen doughnuts at Frost only cost around $ 14.99 and you get a lot more with a dozen doughnuts at Frost then you do a dozen tiny cupcakes at Pinkabells.

Moist and so fresh! Love the frosting! The gal helping us was really sweet and so nice to my little one (big BDay today). We’ll be back!

The cupcake fad is in it’s death throes and the frequently empty Pinkabella is evidence of this. Even on weekends. That’s bleak.
A few years ago, I succumbed and the quality was there. I’m a former pastry chef and have made too much buttercream, so I notice the good stuff. And it was good!
But I suspect with decline in popularity, they’re cutting corners and the quality control has been lost. Dry and rubbery cake means it was old and someone overmixed the batter. The frosting was also «off» — still buttercream but a lower quality of butter being used? This is an extremely difficult thing to do because we’re talking about production. Every red velvet cupcake must taste the same and that’s hard to do consistently. Pinkabella has been slipping.

It’s nice to have a cupcake place like this in Lynnwood! I definitely don’t like it as much as I like Trophy but it hits the spot and it’s nice if you want something a little more upscale and aesthetic than grocery store cupcakes.
I would agree with the other reviews that this place definitely globs on the frosting. However, since that’s my favorite part of the cupcake, I didn’t mind at all. I had a carrot cake cupcake — the cake didn’t taste quite right. The frosting was super sweet and the cake wasn’t sweet enough. They kind of evened each other out in the end… sort of.
The reason for the three stars is that I just don’t think that these cupcakes are worth the price. I don’t mind shelling out $ 3+ for a cupcake if it’s worth it — but I think maybe $ 2.50 would be a more appropriate price given the quality and location.

I think 3 stars is spot on.
The shop itself is very cute and bright. They seem to market towards the younger crowd with ads of little kids on the walls. They are definitely targeting a different demographic than Cupcake Royale.
The cupcakes themselves are very cute and creative. I was especially impressed with the pumpkin decoration on one the pumpkin cupcakes which I took a picture of here.
I had the Red Velvet ($ 3). I enjoyed the frosting but the cake wasn’t that good in my opinion. It was dry and crumbly, not light and moist like cake should be. You should savor every bite of the cake and I found the cake to just be a vehicle for the frosting.
I had a bite of my friend’s caramel apple cupcake. It was tasty but very sweet. That cupcake was $ 4.
I have to admire the beautiful decorating skills that go into the cupcakes but I don’t think their cake delivers.
Side note:
There was a poster of a little girl who was very cute and smiling but it creeped me out because she had heavy smokey eye make up in the picture. I know that kids have some makeup on in photo shoots but this was blatant smokey eye makeup on a little girl! Very strange, I thought.
I might go back if really craving a cupcake but not sure it would be my first choice.
