Cute Cakes

The layout and décor of this cupcake shop is absolutely adorable. This place was right down the street from hotel so I made sure to check it out before we left SD.
I was given a free cake after I checked in on Unilocal which was really cool! Aside from that, we got a red velvet cupcake and a cookies n cream. We ate them later for dessert and I have to say I was really let down. I was so looking forward to trying these cupcakes but they were just too damn sweet. I couldn’t taste much except for just.sugar. The cream cheese frosting on the red velvet was unnoticeable. Same w/​the cookies n’ cream. Hoping to give this place a second chance in the future.

Easy to work with. Very professional. Flexible. Timely. Beautiful. And Yummy! What more could you want for a wedding cake. Thank you

Top notch service, put up with us when we’d had a few too many, and the cupcakes were amazing. We might ship some to MS for the wedding!

The service is excellent! Very friendly staff and the cupcakes are DELICIOUS! I didn’t know which ones to choose! Definitley must come and try this place!

They are so good i can’t not have one. I’m a native. And live close by. fighting cancer. this place is where i treat myself to a cupcake and the people who work there always make me smile. love this place

I am only reviewing about the cupcakes.
Was walking by the store it was empty but it says its open so I walked it to check it out. First, there is this smell i can’t point it out but it smelled weird like paint or plastic. i look around and after a minute someone walks out to greet. I look at the cupcakes and honestly they dont look so great or appetizing. Maybe because im a perfectionist but figured if you have a store that means your product is presented well right? Anyway i got a marbled cupcake. Cute packaging btw.
The buttercream: it had that fatty mouthfeel from the high fat content. not butter but taste like crisco. its not very sweet which is a good thing but i wished i tasted something else other than crisco. The cake: crumbles easily, nothing special just a chocolate and yellow cake swirled together. Also tasted store bought. The overall cupcake just looked artificial to me. And tasted like it too.
It might be a bit harshed but hey thats critism for you. I feel like i wasted money because i threw most of it out. I just hope they do better on the cupcakes.

My wife and I are cupcake fanatics, we moved to the west coast and lost our favorite cupcake place in doing so. Now we drove down to as for work and found this.
IF YOU ARE WITHIN 25 MILES STOP HERE!!!
Absolutely delicious cupcakes.
What made it even better if possible was how nice the guy working tonight was.
Even told my wife we would have to look into ordering online and shipping, smashed cupcakes that great will still beat any cupcakes around us.

The final product! The cake ended up coming from the Escondido location and was delicious! We can’t wait to get another cake on our one year anniversary!

I placed an order for a corporate event with them several months ago. This was an event I had to duplicate in 200 or so locations globally and a few of the charges randomly pinged as fraudulent, as credit card companies are prone to do with huge simultaneous charges. Every other vendor where this occurred quickly reached out and resolved it, and were promptly paid. This bakery opted to instead cancel the order. They left a voicemail stating that they were canceling the order since the card didn’t go through on the first attempt and did not follow up by any other means or inquire on alternate payment details. When I called back less than 24 hours later (still days prior to the event), I was told they were not willing to take payment and would simply not fill the order. All in all, I thought the customer service was poor. This was a pretty widely publicized corporate event. Obviously they were going to be paid, so I don’t understand the swift decision to drop the order.

Loved their cupcakes, had the chocolate, carrot, GF Red Velvet, Salted Caramel and vanilla and they were all delicious. I forgot to order cupcakes for my party, so I walked in and they had what I needed and even modified the decorations on the spot. Very friendly staff too.
Thank you.

I thought their cupcakes were pretty good, and it’s very nice how they are open later (too many cupcake places close by the early afternoon). Good icing and the cake is pretty moist. The samoa cupcake was the best that we tried (get it – really good!). I also liked the carrot cake. The vanilla and chocolate were good, but not home runs.

Cupcakes are decorated nicely… good price, they are 3.75 per cake, but cupcakes are the in thing so I was find with the price. I order a snickers cupcake. The icing to cake ratio was way off!

Thank you to Heavenly Cupcakes/​Cute Cakes for providing an easy and smooth wedding cake planning process! We were trying to order a cake from far away for our wedding in San Diego and were simply hoping for the best since we couldn’t taste beforehand.
The cake was delivered on time the day of and was absolutely delicious and beautiful. We received plenty of compliments on the taste and quality and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!

I provided a pic of the type of cake I wanted for my husband’s 50^th Birthday! Heavenly Cupcakes NAILED IT! Best cake! I received so many compliments! I will definitely come back!

Delicious cupcakes!
This cute little place in the Gaslamp District has some great cupcake flavors to choose from. The cupcakes are big for the $ 3.75 price tag. We tried the red velvet with cream cheese icing, vanilla salted caramel and the Samoa, which is a chocolate cupcake with coconut and half of a Carmel Delight /​Samoa Girl Scout cookie on top. Yum.
They have a few tables in side and will serve the cupcakes either in or to go. It also looks like they do beautiful occasion and wedding cakes at the shop.

Our wedding cake was delicious! We received so many compliments on the strawberry filling inside the cake. YUMMY!
The customer service was great too. :)

I came here by accident (entered the wrong place in my gps) and was not impressed. The cupcakes tasted like regular cupcakes from a grocery store, but a lot more expensive. I saw a cake on display and it looked beautiful so if you want a nice looking cake, maybe check this place out.

My daughter and I stopped here during ComicCon 2015. We are big fans of cupcakes so stopping here was almost required.
I got a Salted Caramel and my daughter got a Chocolate. Both were yummy. We liked what we each bought so there was no clear winner. The frosting was the best part. Also, thanks to probably product turnover the cupcakes themselves were still moist late in the afternoon.
There was steady traffic while we were there. The young lady behind the counter seemed a bit indifferent about being there. Other places like this we have been greeted and told about the product. Here we walked in, asked what a few were, and were handed the cupcakes. Probably heard less than a half dozen words. Not a great sales experience BUT the cupcakes are worth the calories.
If I lived in the area I could see stopping in for a treat now and then. Would have been nice to sample more flavors.

Stopped in during Comic-​Con and got a chocolate (with SpiderMan ring) and a salted vanilla caramel. To eat all by myself! No, I split them with my husband.
We both preferred the salted caramel vanilla with its balance of sweet and salty and the moist mild vanilla flavor. The chocolate (double chocolate?) was very sweet and rich, though moist. I feel like I didn’t get my fair share of the vanilla because my husband got over enthusiastic.
The workers were very friendly though it was late afternoon and they’d been getting run ragged all day. They did not have decaf coffee– there was a sign for it but they said they only had regular– guess they ran out.
Cupcakes were $ 3.75 and worth a stop in if you want a sweet pick-​me-​up (all they sell inside the convention center are Grandma’s Cookies plus one Mrs. Field’s booth and a Starbucks).

I came here during Comic-​Con after I was told about a promotion with one of the red beret people walking the streets. I ordered the Thin Mint and got a Peanut Butter Cup Cupcake as well. The Thin Mint tasted just like the name, even topped with a thin mint cookie to seal the deal. The Peanut Butter Cup was good too. The only thing about these was the frosting. They had the flavor, but were incredibly sweet, to the point where I had to take some of it off to eat the cake.
That said, who doesn’t usually take off some of the frosting? I would say that this place was a little over priced. $ 3.50 for a cupcake is pretty steep, but they are in downtown San Diego, tryin’ to pay off that rent, lol.

Cupcakes here are pretty good!!! Just beware of their packaging or if you’re buying them togo to an event. They don’t hold their structure, and it is probably because their frosting is no too thick like other cupcake places. I would definitely stop by here again next time I visit san diego. It is a short walk from the hotel I stay at (grand hyatt)
What I ordered:
S’mores
Chocolate cake with a graham cracker fudge bottom, frosted in fluffy marshmallow buttercream, sprinkled with baked graham cracker crumbs and drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Red Velvet
Southern red velvet cake topped with silky cream cheese frosting and a signature Heavenly red halo.
Lemon Blueberry Cupcake
A lemon and blueberry swirled cake filled with a blueberry custard filling and topped with a blueberry and lemon swirled buttercream.
Thin Mint
Both mildly mint and chocolate mint cake with chunks of Thin Mint Cookies and a cookie crust. Topped with mint butter cream with a Thin Mint! WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
Blueberry hazelnut (off menu)
the blueberry hazelnut was my favorite!!!

I came here and tried like 6 other cupcakes (don’t judge me) and still not impressed. Though I feel like I can write a better review now.
They have no flavor. Whatever flavor it says it is (i.e snickers) will taste nothing like what it says. The snickers tasted like a peanut cupcake. With a very light peanut flavor. The guiness cupcake for st. Patty day was vanilla cake, what? ! Um, that should be chocolate, there was no guiness in that, the color was way to light. And there was no evidence of bailey’s either. The one chocolate cupcake was the only one that was OK. All the frosting is to sweet and taste store bought. I don’t see how anyone would like these. Even my bf was like, never go there again. To many other options. Literally I’d rather go to the bakery at ralphs. And and 3.75 a piece, I won’t be back! Skip it!

This place was my second place I’ve tried A Cupcake bakery. And woah! What an experience! First of all, the place is just so cuteeee! And hipster which makes me one happy girl!
They have samples of their cuppy cakes which made life so much easier. Well just a little bit. Haha. So I tried the Strawberry Cupcake and I just knew it was the one. Lol.
My friend got the Lemon and liked it but ended up getting the Chocolate one.
I had tea over there too! Raspberry! Pretty good! Awesome place!

Great place for mini cupcakes that are flavorful and moist! I love the red velvet and salted caramel. They are $ 2.00 for a mini and $ 3.75 for a regular. I believe they are overcharging on the minis as they are literally bite sized! I bet 3 minis would make a full cupcake. I will be back, but not for the minis as I think $ 2 is a huge rip off.
Staff is very friendly, and they do have cute cupcakes! Especially for Valentine’s Day!

I’ve really been wanting to try this place for years ever since a co-​worker recommended it, but I was very underwhelmed when I stopped in this week. While the shop was beautifully decorated and the cupcakes looked pretty, the chocolate «cake in a cup» was very dry. It seemed to moisten up a bit as it came to room temperature but it was still not something I would get again. I do think it’s incredibly generous though that Heavenly Cupcake gives you the «cake in a cup» for free with your Unilocal check-​in.
I also purchased a carrot cake cupcake which was absolutely divine. Lots of freshly shredded carrot pieces in a very moist cake with a sumptuous cream cheese frosting. Carrot cake does tend to be moist, so I’m not sure if this was just an exception or if I just got a very dry chocolate cupcake.
I did love the clear bag and packaging that houses these cupcakes. Very unique and beautiful. But for me, taste especially moistness is more important than appearance for cupcakes.
I might be back if someone else wants to go – but only maybe…
