Not Just Icing

Wow! What a treat having Not Just Icing at our neighborhood party! They were professional, excellent in communication and went above and beyond to make our party a success!
The cupcakes were delicious, fresh and will knock your socks off! I loved the flavor assortments that were offered — she even had gluten free for those that generally miss out on cupcakes!
The neighborhood is still taking about them! We LOVED having them! Thanks Donna for everything! We highly recommend Not Just Icing and if you are ever looking for a sweet food truck or at a rodeo where they are, you must try them!

When it comes to customer service, good products, and accountability, Not Just Icing is top notch! Donna and her girls work SO hard to produce the freshest, sweetest, tastiest cupcakes in all the land… they even have 2 ovens on the truck baking cupcakes– ensuring yours is the freshest and best product! The truck is located all over RDU and available for private events too.
I recently hosted a company event with 3 savory trucks + 1 sweet truck, and I was lucky enough to have Not Just Icing. Donna was always so quick to respond to emails and even offered many suggestions for other savory trucks. She customized her menu to meet our Oktoberfest theme, and our employees were SO happy with this corporate event.
The cupcakes were very reasonably priced (especially considering how fresh they were). My favorites were the chocolate with pumpkin icing and the chocolate cupcake with strawberry icing– it was even topped with a slice of strawberry! She offered singles ($ 3), 4-​packs ($ 11), and 6-​packs ($ 17) at our event, which was perfect for people to take some home with them. I heard nothing but positive reviews about Not Just Icing– our employees were just so happy with her customer service and products!
All in all, I highly recommend Not Just Icing for your next company picnic or corporate event… if you see her truck out at a food truck rodeo or event in the Triangle, be sure to snag some of these cupcakes for yourself– I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I can’t say enough about these ladies and Joy :-) … I love the cupcakes, they are a perfect size and best I have ever had. I wait for them to come out to my work for lunch on Wednesdays and go see them at the Food Truck Rodeo in Raleigh as well. They are definitely worth $ 3, though that is a lot for a cupcake.

I just bought a Banana Delight cupcake. It looked so good and I went in to sniff it and I accidentally dropped it to my horror! I was so bumbed out! Luckily the nice lady offered me a new one free of charge since it happend right in front of the Cupcake Rv. I was so grateful! It was delicious! Light and not too sweet! You could really taste the banana in it. We hope to come back and try more flavors.

Durham Food Truck Rodeo: Long lines, people mobbed everywhere. I waited in line some time with my 2 year old only to get to the front and realize my credit card was gone. These ladies took the little cash I had an honored my order. I’ll be a customer for life…

Excellent cupcakes and better than most I’ve been able to find in Durham so far. I went to the food truck rodeo today and tried their oreo cupcake. The chocolate cake part was incredibly moist, rich, and dark chocolate-​y, and you really could taste the difference between the freshness of this cupcake and others I’ve had. The buttercream frosting was not too sweet, had a good oreo flavor, and was light and creamy.

These are seriously the best cupcakes around. Over the last year or so I have tried nearly every variety of cupcake offered by this food truck and each one has been delicious.
The cupcakes are made with fresh ingredients and are always moist and flavorful. I think the ratio of icing to cake is perfect… not too much icing like some of the gourmet cupcakes offered around here.
This doesn’t affect me but I think it’s cool that there are cupcakes offered that comply with certain dietary restrictions as well.

Not Just Cupcakes provides some sweetness for a meeting I was at today and I had the chocolate coconut– it’s SO SUPER YUMMY!!!

Saw this food truck at the Raleigh food truck rodeo this past weekend and bought 4 GF Cupcakes from them with different icing flavors and they were awesome. Light and fluffy and moist with the frosting that was great. For the times I get a sweet tooth this would be a great food truck find.

I was thrilled when Not Just Icing was available to make cupcakes for a co-​workers birthday party. Unlike other local companies who insist on making one flavor for all of the cupcakes, NJI gave us a wonderful mix of cupcake flavors and icing on our order of two dozen. The cookie dough cupcakes were gone instantly, followed shortly by the raspberry frosted. They even devoured all the Gluten Free cupcakes, which are usually left over for a day or two. Thanks for your delicious cupcakes and excellent service.

I had the delicious opportunity to try out these cupcakes at the recent Downtown Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo! HEAVEN in my MOUTH! They have a great variety of cupcakes and the staff is super friendly. I cannot wait for my next chance to have some of their delicious goodies.

A wonderful variety with a refreshing menu dedicated to fruit flavors. But these cupcakes left me wanting more… in an I’m-not-satisfied (rather than a gimme-​gimme more) kind of way.
Perhaps the biggest fault is their size; definitely on the small side, yet priced at $ 3 a pop. There is a price break if you order a four-​pack, and again if you order a dozen. But even with the four-​pack discount, they’re more expensive than competitors that offer substantially more cake.
I ordered the Irish Car Bomb, cookie dough on chocolate, blueberry, and cinnamon swirl. The only true disappointment was the Irish Car Bomb which, for me, did not suggest Baileys in the cake nor Jameson in the icing. It just tasted like dry chocolate cake with a smooth vanilla buttercream. The cookie dough mixture atop the chocolate cake is exactly like cookie dough batter (in other words, delicious!), and added interest to a cupcake that was otherwise identical to the Car Bomb (chocolate cake bottom, vanilla buttercream top). The blueberry was a highlight in that fresh fruit was abundantly detectable in both cake and frosting… not too sweet, this cupcake is like a dressed-​up decadent version of a muffin. The cinnamon swirl was my fave of the bunch — think: cinnamon bun but better. The rich icing smacks of butter, and granular streaks of cinnamon sugar branch through the cake like a tasty central nervous system. The strength of the cakes is the smooth, light frosting — not gritty, and not sculpturally hard.

I dream about these cupcakes. I crave them! They are amazing!
Innovative flavors, great vendor, perfect ratio of cake and icing. Their icing is flavorful, decadent, and scrumptious!
I am excited every time I check their Facebook page and see where the cupcake truck will be!
Everyone must try Not Just Icing!!!

I got a dozen cupcakes (in a variety of flavors) from Not Just Icing for my mother-​in-​laws birthday party. Everyone there wanted to try all the flavors so we cut them into quarters & passed them around for sampling. They were very rich & flavorful. Since everyone mentioned how the cake & buttercream icing were so decadent, I felt like we really got our money’s worth. The family voted on which cupcakes we liked the best… The chocolate with chocolate frosting was the most popular but the vanilla with cookie dough topping was a close second!

Not Just Icing is a new food truck (well «new» in the sense that I haven’t seen it before or found any online reviews) that I discovered at the June Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo. As an initial disclaimer: I love cupcakes, and I love food trucks. So any food truck serving cupcakes is bound to get a pretty positive review from me.
I was impressed by how many varieties of cupcakes that Not Just Icing had. There were at least 10, maybe 12 available on sale from the truck for the standard price of $ 3/​cake. I asked which was the favorite of the woman working the counter and got a lemon cupcake with raspberry icing (probably what I would have chosen myself on a hot NC afternoon). It was good — the raspberry icing really stood out. It was VERY flavorful – not just generic fruity/​sugary flavor, but in the sense that it actually tasted like raspberries. The lemon cake was good – not the best I’ve had but enjoyable. The cupcake was a little small. I generally don’t complain about $ 3 cupcakes, but I like to feel satisfied after eating it, even if a friend takes a bite or two. With this, a bite or two turned into ¹⁄₃ of the whole cupcake!
Overall, looking forward to seeing Not Just Icing around again and trying another cupcake variety.
