28 Reviews for Cups and Cakes Bakery
The fat girl in me would've loved to eat 48 red velvet cupcakes, but alas, the cupcakes had to be shared with everyone else. A friend bought 3 different flavors - red velet (the BEST), pink lemonade, and vanilla (the "nilla" cookie on top is SUCH a cute idea!) - for a bday party. I tried all 3, but I'm a sucker for traditional flavors so the chocolate and vanilla stood out the most to me. I used to work at a bakery (Sweet Things) so I'm picky about quality and freshness. These cupcakes were so moist and the denseness and taste of the cupcakes were perfect. I'm bookmarking their website in case I ever need lots of yummy cupcakes!

So many flavors, which one shall I choose?!
I didn't really have a choice in the flavor department, as the BF had ordered these delicious treats for my birthday and delivered to 2223. He had ordered the orange juice and chocolate cakes and OMG, the were fuc*ing unbelievable. The orange juice cakes came with a orange slice gummy on top that made the whole dessert. Not only does Jen make these with love, they are also very decadent and moist. I'll be ordering some bacon cup cakes here soon for my co-workers. I'm already salivating at the thought.
*DROOL* *DROOL* *DROOL* *DROOL*
One word: bacon. Yeah, I said bacon, and this is a cupcake review. The bacon was IN the cupcakes! And ON the cupcake! It was a sweet maple sugar kind of flavor, with yummy chunks of real bacon. We're not talkin bacon bits here.
Get a sampler, cause they're all just so good!!

I came across Jen and her Cup Cakes on Yelp and decided to give her a shot for the BF's bday dinner, and all I have to say is that she and them cakes ROCK!!! I ordered 2 dozen; one was of Chocolate cakes w/ halh having Chocolate frosting & the other with Vanilla, OMG SO DAMN GOOD! Then the other dozen were the Orange Juice cakes and those were AMAZING! The delivery service is AWESOME! The cakes are even MORE amazing as well! Will definitely call her up again!
Im not a big dessert person but then again I have never tasted a cupcake that made me actually think about it the whole next day like you would a good date (or good... well you know). I had the red velvet and the chocolate both with cream cheese frosting and they were both so good that I found myself picking up all the crumbs and eating those too. I could eat these cupcakes all the time!
I haven't had the pleasure yet of trying the other flavors (I'm sadly allergic to chocolate, so I had to look but not touch the red velvet confections that were offered) but the raspberry pear cupcakes with sinfully rich frosting were easily the best little dessert cake I've ever had. Yum!
Mmmmmmm cupcakes... So I work at the Broken Record and Jen (the owner of Cups and Cakes) decided to try out all her new recipes at my place. I can't tell you how nice it is to work in a place where the customers bring in cupcakes (well I could but you would just feel bad about your job) but let me just say it rules. My favorites so far are the maple bacon (Ya, Bacon. Fuck off hippy.) and the pumpkin with cream cheese. Got an event? Buy your cupcakes here or be disapointed somewhere else.

Sweet and succulent, and deliciously sinful, without being so rich that you cannot finish the piece.
Great balances of cupcake and topping to achieve delightfully delicious flavors. My personal favorite of hers so far has been the classic red velvet flavor.
I love the mini bite sized cupcakes for parties and other occasions.
Jennifer is a joy to work with, and will even make deliveries!

Red Velvet Cupcake = YUMMY
Delicious organic ingredients. Custom orders on short notice. Cups and Cakes is the best!
Less than a week before my boyfriends birthday I ordered a dozen custom sugar free egg custard cupcakes. Not only was it a steal ($30!) but she was willing drive across San Francisco to bring them to me. And did I mention they melt in your mouth like cupcakes ought to? Sweet, but not too sweet, moist dreamy confections that are pure bliss.
I can't wait till it's my birthday, because I already know where my goodies are coming from!
OK, I'd heard these cupcakes were yummy and now that I've finally had one, I have to agree! I didn't try one of the unusual flavors but went for the red velvet with cream cheese frosting. I'll try some others next time since everyone seemed to enjoy whichever ones they had.
Let me tell you about Cups and Cakes. As I was forced by Jennifer to eat one of her Chocolate Decadent cupcakes I was blown away by the experience. The cake was full of different chocolate flavors, which exploded in my mouth. When you first pick it up you feel weight and density, but it actually nicely melts in your mouth and is airy yet very filling. Jennifer is very passionate about her creations and uses all organics ingredients. You can really taste the quality. I can't wait to sample more of her tasty treats. I would highly recommend cups and cakes to anyone looking for creative quality desserts for friends and family, parties or business functions.
Well, I'm a total sucker for sugar and cake in general- but these cupcakes are truly exceptional! So many tasty and unexpected flavors. She has served them at a couple parties I've hosted and they are always a hit! :-)

Oh my god! These are amazing cupcakes but I definitely what more!
The cake is incredibly moist! The margarita cup cake was delicious and inventive, and the German chocolate cake was sinfully delicious and I normally don't like German chocolate cakes!
I'm looking forward to the next time I get to eat these decadent cupcakes!

Jennifer is a wonder!
Her cupcakes are incredible, her customer service is amazing, she delivers, her prices are reasonable, and she's really really sweet and easy to work with.
I just used Cups & Cakes for a business event, and the following things must be said:
1) Jennifer is incredibly nice and easy to work with
2) She offered great, helpful advice on favorite/popular varieties and was spot-on with recommendations of how many to buy
3) The term "hard sell" is not in her vocabulary
4) She delivered 8 dozen cupcakes on time. In an area with no parking, ever. At 8:30 in the morning. For $10. Unheard of.
5) I got **ONE** little cupcake for myself. They were so good that people got their friends who weren't even in the meeting and brought them in for cupcakes.
I can't wait to use Cups & Cakes again! The cupcakes are so delicious and they really taste homemade. They are also adorable.
I always say that if you want academics to come to an event, serve booze.
But now I think Cups & Cakes cupcakes might work even better.

Yum, yum, yum!
We recently had a delivery of Cups and Cakes cupcakes at my office, and they disappeared almost immediately. Red Velvet, Pink Lemonade, German Chocolate, and Apple Pie... they were all delicious. The sounds around the office were "Oh god, these are good!" "That's the best cupcake I've ever had!" and 'Are there any more??"
I'm not going to be able to wait for a special occasion to order more, I want them now!
UPDATE: I've now also had the Vanilla and the Boston Creams, and both were super yummy. Cups and Cakes does not disappoint, and I look forward to becoming an afficionado of all their flavors.
UPDATE#2: Raspberry Pear: OMG! So moist and yummy! The pear and raspberry were perfectly balanced and the cream cheese icing on top was almost better than the cupcake itself.
Mango: Very mild, tropical flavor. Tasty tasty.
Root beer float: SO adorable. She uses chopped up marshmallows on the top to give them a foamy/bubbly look, just like a real root beer float. Though I'd rather have that cupcake than a real rootbeer float. It was THAT good.
Yummy homemade goodness that you can taste in each bite. I recently orderd a dozen for a party and everyone was impressed. Jennifer was great in helping me with my order and even delivered the goods to my place.
These treats have a disntinctive character compared to others I've purchased from bakeries such as Crumbs or Sibby's. The batter (yellow cake)has a taste that I can only describe as homespun-handcrafted-comforting-delectability. The frosting (chocolate buttercream) was not too heavy or sweet, just right.
I also like the idea of using paper medicine cups ... just darling.

I love Kara's Cupcakes, but was looking for another option. I too came across Cups and Cakes Bakery on Yelp and decided to give Jennifer a call. She was great on the phone and I couldn't resist trying three different flavors, so I bought a dozen each of the luscious vanilla, rich red velvet, and pucker-up pink lemonade. When I picked them up each dozen was securely packaged in a plastic container with individual slots for each cupcake. They smelled great and I really wanted to try one, but decided to wait until the party. It was worth the wait. They were a hit at my boyfriend's birthday party. They were moist and full of flavor. But what really impressed me was the balance between the cake and the frosting. Jennifer makes the best butter cream frosting that I have ever had. Her frosting has more flavor than Kara's Cupcakes. They were so good! The red velvets were gone first, but the vanilla and pink lemonade were also delicious. I can't wait to have an occasion to order cupcakes from Jennifer again. I really want to try the orange juice cupcakes.
Mouthgasm = total and complete bliss in my mouth. I've tried at least half a dozen of her flavors: Maple Bacon, double chocolate, red velvet, pumpkin perfection (my birthday cupcakes!), apple pie, vanilla. They have all been absolutely delicious. I consider myself a fairly savvy baker and an excellent cook and I don't think I could recreate these without her recipe. She has it PERFECTED. The cupcakes are always moist and flavorful and the frosting is piled on, but not so sickly sweet that you would have a problem eating it all!
Currently she is only doing catering, no physical shop yet. But will deliver to whatever event you are holding for a nominal fee. I HIGHLY recommend these cupcakes for your next special occasion because everything is better with cupcakes!
Bonus points - they are all organic but without the organic price tag. YAY for green businesses!

If you are a cupcake fanatic, then you have done the rounds of Kara's Cupcakes in SF and Teacake Bakeshop in Emeryville among others. It's been a long way baby, since Sex and the City. If you haven't tried Cups and Cakes Bakery, then you really just don't know what you are missing. Really good ingredients and really good people = a recipe for bliss. Don't let this one pass you up. Did you see they delivered? Next office birthday party situation solved!

Jennifer was so sweet to work with and delivered them to Menlo Park and made a cupcake stand for me so the presentation was great. We ordered them for our wedding and had 3 different varieties of the minis. They were yum! I would love to have more!!!
Another reason to go to the Broken Record on Mondays, aside from their AWESOME trivia night (plug plug plug), is being able to taste test the delicious cupcakes from Cups and Cakes Bakery. The quality of my life always improves after consuming one of these cupcakes and so will yours! Always moist and fluffy with deliciously creamy icing, who can refuse? My personal favorite is red velvet. Currently they only do catering so I will have to make up occasions to order some until there's an actual storefront. Also, major kudos for being organic!

mmmm... cupcakes...
I recently had an opportunity to sample a few varieties from this lovely outfit and was completely impressed with both the cupcakes and the presentation. I was eating cute little mini cupcakes, and each had their own look and style much like upscale chocolates. My favorite so far is the dark chocolate with cherry buttercream frosting. It had been so long since I had tasted true buttercream that I started giggling in happiness with the taste. The cherry flavor was not overpowering and complemented the chocolate so well.
The Most amazing Cupcakes ever.. if you have sugar issues she can make them sugar free and they are still AMAZING.!! these cupcakes are a real treat, make sure to try them soon, you"ll be addicted !

These cupcakes have been actively contibuting to my overall hapiness for the last few months. They are always extremely tasty and even the ones you think you won't be into (ginger beet) always hit the sweet spot. My personal favorite are the pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I ordered some of these for Thanksgiving and they were a hit! They were also lovingly delivered straight to my door. If you are looking for cupcakes for any occasion , Cup and Cakes is the way to go.
Every time I eat Cups and Cakes Cupcakes I am transformed into a giggly 6 year old girl. I love them. I especially love the Maple Bacon variety. It's like breakfast but better because its a cupcake!

i have yet to try some of the more exotic varieties (maple bacon?????) but i have had:
deep, dark chocolate- i'm not a wicked chocolate person but these were freakin great. it had chunks inside. can never go wrong with chunks.
apple pie- delicious. tasted like fresh apple pie. the cinnamon frosting is to die for.
ginger carrot- my favorite so far. has little pile of carrots on top the ginger frosting. could probably justify this as a serving of vegetable.
