The Cupcake Collection

I want all the cupcakes! All the time!
Last night I picked up a variety to bring to a family dinner. We wound up cutting them in half to let everyone try multiple flavors. Not a single person was disappointed!
My brother exclaimed how moist and flavorful they were. My nephews shyly asked if they could have more. And everyone was a winner!
My favorites were sweet potato and blackout. I want to go back on a day when they have the peanut butter mousse ones available. I think you basically can’t go wrong here! Everything is delicious.
From what I understand, the owners are a family who moved here after being displaced by Katrina. They have expanded to a second location, the first being a cute little house in Germantown. They are super nice and clearly have a passion for baking up happiness!

So popular you need to get there early to get the flavors you want!
We were there at about 3 p.m. and they were out of a lot of flavors. We ended up trying one of everything they had left which was: peanut butter chocolate, strawberry, pineapple upside down, coconut, chocolate, red velvet, german chocolate. My favorite, by far, was the peanut butter chocolate. The filling was delicious. Some in my group swore by the strawberry. There was a sweet potato cupcake that I wish we could have tried, but the person in front of us got the last one. The point is, you can’t go wrong with any of them.
There isn’t any place to sit inside. There is one table outside, but in the freezing cold, who wants to sit there. Prepare to take your cupcakes and run.

Best and cheapest cupcakes in town!!! Not to mention all served in a charming historic home setting by an equally charming family who deserve all the success this place has garnered for them.
It’s hard to choose a fave cupcake there because they’re all so damned delicious and perfect, but the sweet potato one gets my vote, followed by red velvet, wedding cake and strawberry.
Vintage cuppies made just like your grandma would serve them: simple, classic and not too fancy or sweet. Just enough icing and never too much, and perfectly-​sized to boot. There’s usually a line and certain cupcakes sold out for good reason!

Best cupcakes EVER… Wedding Cake is my favorite followed closely by the Snickerdootle!

Today I entered this fine establishment with the intent to satisfy a raging sweet tooth. As always the ladies were most helpful, but today was special, as the owner herself was behind the counter frosting up a few dozen delectable confections. I scoured the selections, looking for my supreme favorite — the Italian Wedding Cake. It’s a devastatingly delicious and fluffy white cake, piled high with a lighter-​than-​air cream cheese frosting and perfectly toasted coconut and walnuts. Sadly it wasn’t on today’s menu, but I was still very pleased with my selection of the cookies and cream and red velvet cupcakes.
While waiting on my order to be packed up, I mentioned to Mignon, the owner, that I would most definitely be back on Friday to swipe up a couple of my favorites (Italian Wedding Cake), as I LIVE for those deliciously sweet morsels of heaven. In what can only be described as the NICEST move a business owner can make, Mignon said cheerily, «well I can make you up a couple of Italian Wedding cake cupcakes right now if you want!» How could I say no?
As always, my experience and my cupcakes exceeded expectations. Going above and beyond for your customers is what keeps them coming back, and you’ve made a brand ambassador out of me, for sure! Thank you Cupcake Collection for making the world a better place with your indulgent creations!

There is not much to say outside of the fact that this is by far THE BEST CUPCAKES I have had period!!! As a DC resident, I am very familiar with the different boutique cupcake shops (Including Georgetown Cupcakes). But I must say, these cupcakes blow all other cupcakes out of the water!
On my most recent visit to Nashville, I stopped in for a few cupcakes: carrot cake, sweet potato, red velvet and strawberry. All of them were extremely delicious!
The sweet potato is one of their best sellers, and I could certainly see why! it was a perfect blend of sweetness and spice. The carrot cake was also good, although I tend to like my CC without raisins. The red velvet was simply delectable. Their cream cheese frosting is light and rich at the same time. I’m not typically a strawberry cake fan, but I was told that their strawberry is colored naturally and has real strawberries. It was also very good!
Make sure you stop by this place next time you’re in the Nashville area. You will certainly not be disappointed!

These are the best cupcakes I’ve ever had! If you are ever in Nashville, MAKE the side stop here! Strawberry lemonade was the best!

Cupcake collection called the same night I left this review and apologized profusely for the service. It was nice to see that they cared about the review.
I am right now sitting in the Germantown location, waiting for the order that I placed the day before that is already 10 minutes late and the workers here are extremely rude, complaining about early orders. I arrived at 9:15 am, they open at 9 am, told me I won’t get my order that I placed the day before, until 9:30 am and now it is 9:40 am and I still don’t have my order. I am late for work and don’t appreciate the disrespect. Their cupcakes are very good but I will probably never order from this location ever again.

Oh how I LOVE Cupcake Collection! The name should be changed to Cupcake Perfection because these are the best cupcakes on the planet. Better than Magnolia Bakery in NYC among others. Italian Wedding cupcakes are my favorite!

I feel like there is more to be explored here, after just one visit and one cupcake. It was cakey and sugary, but still tasted healthy.
Very good.

These are the best cupcakes in Nashville. I love the strawberry, red velvet and sweet potato flavors. Additionally, the size of the cupcakes is perfect– they aren’t monsterous Gigi’s nor mini ones! The people working are always incredibly friendly and the prices are great.
This is one of my favorite places for a quick pick me up or to grab something for a celebration.

Great cupcakes, great prices. Sweet potato cupcake is the best. However, they do run out of flavors pretty quickly so be sure to call ahead to make sure they have the flavors you want!

Dear cupcake collection … You have changed my life and my jeans are snug. I hate and love you so much all at once… Omg the strawberry. As a Nashville native, nothing makes me happier then to have this place here. I served these at my wedding reception and people were calling me the next day wanting to know where in the world I found these little bites of heaven!!! Do NOT miss the chance to check this place out. Hands down– BEST CUPCAKES I HAVE EVER HAD. Ps– anyone who says the service is bad cause the line is out the door… THINK ABOUT THAT! Not many things can form a line. Well done cupcake collection. Keep up the good work. :)

It’s a perfect little cupcake shop. What else do you want out of a cupcake place? It’s moderately affordable, in a fun location, and the cupcakes are delish!
I’d recommend arriving a few hours before closing if you want any selection to make the visit worth it. We got there 10 minutes from closing and it was slim pickin’s!

The cupcake was good the service is awful. The line was almost out the door and at least 4 lady’s walked buy us and did not ask us what we wanted. So we stood there. Wtf. Also how do u not know what cupcake is in the display? You work here right?

Wide variety of flavors, cute little shop. The cake itself was dry (except for the sweet potato) and the frosting was too sweet. You never got that ‘perfect bite’ that you look for from cupcakes. I thought the frosting to cake ratio was a bit off.
Also, the service was a bit slow because the cashier was the same person taking the order. But, it could have just been an off-​day for them.

We couldn’t help but stop by at TCC after lunch at Monell’s that already included dessert. The guy at the counter told us that lots of folks in Germantown participate in the Sunday tradition of church, Monell’s, and then cupcakes.
The chocolate chocolate cupcake was so rich but tasty.
They also have a ton of cool merch, like a Run DMC style shirt that said CUP CAKE.
They also have hilarious photos of people enjoying cupcakes on the wall.

Well, the truth is we cannot walk by a cupcake shop without stopping and buying one. Then, once we decide to buy one, we decide we might as well get four so we can try all the flavors.
They are so good — the chocolate is great.
I also, surprisingly, loved the sweet potato. I am not sure how they make it, but it works and tastes a bit more like dessert bread than a rich super sweet dessert.
Very cute shop with a few tables to sit and enjoy. And, incredibly friendly service (maybe I can blame them for over ordering!)

Hands down, favorite cupcakery in all of Nashville. Fabulous service, wonderful selection, just an all-​around fantastic establishment.
My favorites are sweet potato and chocolate (hard to make a perfect chocolate cupcake, but they’ve nailed it). Red velvet is my all-​time favorite, and they managed to perfect that as well. Reasonable prices (I believe $ 2/​ea) and warm and friendly service.
They just opened a location in Donelson, which is nearer to my house than the Germantown location – and I AM THRILLED. Go early – they typically run out of the popular flavors. It’s just the best.

Cupcakes were amazing!!! Yum yum I have no words. The sweet potato cupcake was my fav. I would definitely go back every time I’m in time. It’s a very cute shop in a good location.
