Carolina Cupcakery Cupcakes

I will start by saying I tried both cookie dough flavors and 3 cupcakes; strawberry, chocolate fix and party cake. The cookie dough was inconsistent with the first time I tried it. It was really loaded with sugar to the point where it gave everyone a headache. The chocolate chip is definitely better than the brownie smore on the sugar, making it a bit better. As far as the cupcakes, the party cake was really sweet but lacked actual flavor other than over powering sugar. My kiddo didn't even care for it. The strawberry had way too much almond extract, so it didn't even taste like strawberry though it was super moist. The chocolate fix was decent except the chocolate buttercream frosting was old and loaded with sugar. The cakes themselves were not very flavorful, which is not worth the 4 bucks a piece. One reviewer made a statement about it being all natural and that's why the lack in flavor, first off not all of the flavors are all natural and secondly I make homemade strawberry cake with better flavor, that has nothing to do with the ingredients themselves, only how you use said ingredients. Whomever decided almond extract was a good idea in the strawberry frosting should not ever make that kind of decision again, it was a mistake and rendered the cupcake round file worthy. Don't waste your money unless you want to pay that much for massive amounts of sugar.

Absolutely love their cupcakes. What's better is that the make allergy friendly cupcakes (like gluten free and dairy free as well as nut free) in a separate dedicated kitchen and the cupcakes still taste delicious!!! BEST GLUTEN FREE CUPCAKE EVER!

I had no issues with this place! I had recently reviewed another bakery down the road as well. I would say this place wins! Flavors were great, not dry or crumbly like comments mentioning below. Service was a tad slow but worth it. Price is higher but it's local not a mass manufactured process. I was surprised at the cost of the jumbo cupcakes but they only make regular size cupcakes on special advanced order...my qualm with that is, well the jumbo sized cupcakes are your regular sized cupcakes! And regular sized cupcakes would be small or mini sized... Flavors wee spot on a had a great variety. I will be back for sure.

My wife and I went in just before closing and the owner was awesome. She gave us a special deal on half priced cupcakes and we ended up taking home 4 more cupcakes then we originally intended. All the cupcakes were amazing! Even after a couple of days, a quick pop in the microwave made them the highlight of my weekend.
