Angelcakes

Cupcakes are great tasting! 2 reasons for 1 star 1) called to order specialty cake and didn’t get a response. They’re getting too big for their britches and forgetting the customers that got them there. 2) latest batch of cupcakes for a birthday purchased, one of them had a bitter taste, person who ate it became ill the next day.

Absolutely delectable!!! It moist and flavorful! Not overbearingly sweet as often you find the icing to be on most!
My coworker stated it was the best cupcake she had ever had. My other coworker kept thanking me for the mid day sweetness! There was not a single complaint about these cupcakes. Just yummy!!!

By far the best cupcakes in town. We have a lot of cupcakeries in Frederick, and I have never been disappointed with Angelcakes. Sometimes I try a daily flavor special, but I usually go for the simple yet delicious black & white cupcake. The cake is always moist and the icing is always so flavorful. I guess I love these cupcakes because they remind me of the cake my mom used to make when I was a kid. :) The bright yet surprisingly protective turquoise box they nestle the cupcakes in really complete the package. The staff is always very friendly.
I only wish they had a cupcake drive-​thru or a cupcake truck. They would make a killing off either. …I also wish there was more room in the front of the store for sitting and actually enjoying the cupcake I bought. The front gets cramped/​crowded pretty quickly. Just a minor gripe though. I usually pay for a cupcake and then eat it when I get home, or eat it in the car because I can’t wait that long. ;)

Yum! We stopped in today for the first time. We decided on the chocolate ganache and chocolate pomegranate. We can’t decide which was better, both were scrumptious. The icing was everything and the cake was awesome, this all coming from a guy who doesn’t go crazy for sweets. We are already talking about our next choices, probably will be the salted caramel and red velvet.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. I now know where I want to get my b-​day cake.

Maybe I’m easy to please but I actually really enjoy the cupcakes here. The presentation is great and the cupcakes themselves taste as good as they look.
I really don’t know much more I can say. If you’re into cupcakes, then this isn’t a bad choice, at least in my opinion.

Cakes aren’t bad but they are nothing special. My experience with them was not good at all. I came in for a wedding cake tasting and was able to choose only 4 different things to taste and they gave us a bite of each. Okay. Whatever. Well, when I asked if I could kind of change things up, they told me no. When I asked if I could get something in cupcake form, they told me no. They said I could only have cupcakes in certain flavors and none were the flavors I wanted. Doesn’t make much sense to me considering this place is a bakery but flavors A and B only either come in cake or cupcake form but not both? Then they ask me to fill out some questionnaire. Basic questions. Names, contact info, what kind of cake I want etc. I don’t think anything of it, I say thank you and I leave. The next two weeks they called me to ask me for money for a deposit on a cake that I never agreed to. They never asked if I wanted to go with them. Or how I liked the experience. Or what I thought. They went straight to «so we can take your credit card over the phone for the deposit»
Well. I didn’t go with them. They just didn’t impress me. I went with a different bakery in the area who had a better selection, cheaper, better quality cakes/​cupcakes, and treated me VERY well.
Also their shop smells like bleach.

Frosting a little too sweet for my liking. I ordered the salted caramel and the top of my cake was a little burnt and cake was dry and dense. The shop however, looked very nice and the staff was friendly.

I was so excited to try a dedicated cupcake shop in Frederick. It’s a very cute and quaint shop (no seating) and the window display looked great.
We came in the Easley afternoon so there were plenty of cupcakes left and there were many different flavors. We got a dozen and over half of them were not memorable — the icing was ridiculously sweet and the actually cake tasted pretty much the same in each of the cupcakes. They did taste fresh so I’ll give them that.

We have been frequenting Angelcakes for several years now– they have made us beautiful cakes and cupcakes for birthdays and other celebrations. We find the cupcakes to be delicious, although the amount of icing on them is a bit overwhelming. I love their cakes more than the cupcakes– incredibly moist, flavorful, and they always serve way more than I’m told they will.

Cupcakes are OK. Nothing extra special to write about. Either they bake small batches are sell-​out quickly. This is my second visit to this place and each time the counter appears empty.

Angelcakes did a great job with a baby shower cake that I ordered recently. The staff patiently worked with me to customize my cake and the end product looked beautiful. In fact, it was exactly like I’d imagined in my head when I described what I wanted to the baker. It deference to the mama-​to-​be we chose her favorite flavor, vanilla, with chocolate buttercream layered in between. At first I was skeptical about the basic flavors but everyone at the party unanimously agreed that it was delicious. The only bone I have to pick is that it cost a pretty penny. I didn’t order anything overtly complicated but the bakery does tack on extra charges for any little addition or change at all. Still no regrets as it looked and tasted wonderful and was the perfect centerpiece for the party. I just can’t help but wish I hadn’t gone so over budget. But for any other important event I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Went today to get some cupcakes for a small party. (6 cupcakes) there was little selection. I chocolate mint, cookie, black and white and salted caramel. Overall they were just «okay.» By far the best thing about them was the icing. Nice and light but only once you get through a pretty unpleasant «crust» (icing was hard.) Tops of the actual cake were hard and overdone. Rest of cake was grainy and dry. Will only return if in a pinch and other bakeries were too busy.
Bottom line: overdone cakes and crusty icing with an overpriced, under stocked selection.

My son and I stopped in to try out their cupcakes on a Saturday afternoon. We tasted the black and white, sea salted caramel, red velvet, and chocolate ganache cupcakes.
The sea salt caramel cupcake was delicious. It was the perfect combination of sweet and saltiness. It was light and the cake was moist. The rest of the cupcakes left something to be desired. The tops of the cake were hard on the other three cupcakes. Almost as if they had been overcooked or were going stale. I would only go back if a friend already had plans to go and it just so happened that I was with them.

Hopped in to try this place as I had heard so many good things. It’s amazing what they can fit in this shop and still have it feel uncluttered and open.
We ordered 5 cupcakes — Madagascar vanilla, sea salt caramel, black and white, red velvet and chocolate pomegranate. I can only speak for the first two. I wasn’t blown away by the vanilla. It wasn’t anything special to me. The sea salt caramel on the other hand… delicious! This flavor is so hot right now and it can be easy to ruin. Not so here. The cake was light and not overly oppressive, but the icing really won me over. The caramel flavor was captured perfectly in this LIGHT frosting, though piled high. Usually I expect that frosting to be so sugar packed and thick. Somehow they manage to make this frosting perfectly. I will surely be back while I try a few other options. My boyfriend had the chocolate pomegranate and thought it tasted more like raspberries but he liked it regardless.
Very friendly and patient young man working the counter while we were there.

Excellent cupcakes– the Madagascar vanilla is amazing. The icing and cake are near perfect. I love the balance of sweet/​salty. Yum yum!

The cupcake cake is very moist. Red velvet was a hit. The cream cheese buttercream was awesome. I also tried the chocolate pomegranate. I was skeptical of this flavor, but was very happy with the flavor combination. I want to try the salted caramel, but they were out.
Great to find such a great bakery.

Best cupcakes anywhere in the area. Don’t wast your time or calories going anywhere else. The salted caramel and the Madagascar vanilla are the best. Awesome… well worth the drive, the cost… yummy.

This is one of two cupcake places in downtown Frederick and this one far exceeds the other cupcakery (Sweet Angela’s Cupcakery) in all aspects.
The presentation of the cupcakes is what you would expect from an upscale bakery. The icing is expertly placed on the cake and they are placed in a lovely blue box allowed the cupcakes to stand without rolling all over the box. The cake is moist and delicious while the icing is very light.
They have special daily flavors and then staple flavors they offer every day. (Try the strawberry – clearly made with fresh strawberries!)
The only reason I have given 4 stars instead of 5 is because the lady behind the counter wasn’t the friendliest. She wasn’t rude or unfriendly, but I expected her to be more cheerful and pleasant.
I will definitely go back. A friend of mine is getting married soon and I have already recommended she check this local business out!

Tried Angelcakes on a Saturday afternoon, and I think it’s all about the flavor you choose. I got the salted caramel, and it was awesome– caramel cupcake, caramel frosting, with a caramel drizzle and salt on the top. The frosting was actually a little too sweet for my taste, and I’m not sure I thought the cake was SO SO moist like other reviewers have said, but overall, it was a darn good cupcake.
My friends however, had less luck. The ordered a chocolate marshmallow (plain chocolate cupcake with too sweet vanilla frosting and a toasted marshmallow on top) and a chocolate chocolate (the gold flakes on top seemed promising, but in the end it was just a chocolate cupcake, and not even the best one ever).
Angelcakes does provide cute little blue boxes for their individual orders, and the person behind the counter was pretty fast considering they had a full house of people waiting. We’ll probably try this place again and go for some more exotic flavors, because that may be where they invest their best.

We rotate buying the cake for whoever has a birthday at work. It was my turn and oops! I forgot to buy a cake for the big man! Thank goodness I’ve been wanting to try Angelcakes and walked right over there the second they opened. I find it odd that both cupcake places in Frederick are just a block from each other, but Angelcakes has it going for them that they are open 7 days a week.
The cupcakes are very pretty, of course, and I got two of each fun flavor for my coworkers. You’ll first notice how dense these cupcakes are. I mean they are heavy! I immediately realized I would not be eating both of mine in one sitting. The cupcakes were very flavorful and everyone enjoyed them. The only negative was the amount of frosting. There was a lot of it and boy was it sweet. There was so much frosting, that when a coworker dropped hers and it landed on the floor with the icing facing down, that she had more than enough left over after scraping off the inch of icing that touched the floor.
