Blue Frost

I’ve been here twice, both times I thought the cupcakes were okay, nothing great, but that they were really SMALL for the price. I mean I remembered they were small from the first time, but when I went back I had forgotten how small they actually were. As one reviewer points out they are 2″ across the bottom and $ 2.50! That is about 50 cents per bite! They weren’t anything special either, cupcakes from a box mix are at least as good. Also disappointed in the complete lack of coziness in the shop (I ate there the first time and did not want to linger). I was so excited when this place opened because it’s close to my house, but I prefer the cupcake place in Powell more. The woman selling them at Clintonville Farmer’s Market is WAYYY better and it’s about twice the size for half the price. If only she sold year round. Very bummed.

Decent but not the best. I am in sales and get sweets from all over central Ohio for clients. The Staff here is rather cold and annoyed at times. My wife and I have been here several times separately with same experience. Cupcakes are good but clients have never raved about the gift compared to others.

I’ve only been here once and I got four cupcakes: vanilla birthday cake with chocolate ganache icing, blue velvet, lemon chiffon, and white wedding (has a raspberry purée and lots of almond flavoring). I really loved the lemon and white wedding cupcakes… I’d get those again in a heartbeat! Blue velvet and birthday cake were also tasty and good, but not amazing.
They always have their signature flavors, and then rotate some others, so I will definitely be back to try some of their other flavors… definitely want to try the salty caramel and butterscotch when it’s in rotation!

How accurate is a review if you’ve eaten only one thing? But the inner Unilocaler in me can’t just pass it up… I was at my favorite farmer’s market and passed by the store and their tableful of doughnut muffins. How could I resist?
It was good. REALLY good. Yes, I know I can make them at home, but then I would have twelve. Who is going to eat twelve? (Not my office — they all yell at me when I bring baked goods to work. Something about trying to get them fat.) So I got to have one muffin. All to myself. Warm, sweet, with a tender crumb that didn’t disintegrate at the first bite. Delicious. I’d buy again.

HORRIBLE! STAY AWAY! The cupcakes are «OK» — but the customer service (and I use that term lightly) is sorely lacking!!! Ordered cupcakes for a special occasion and was treated extremely unprofessionally — including a threat left in a voicemail message — totally uncalled for and utterly ridiculous coming from a supposed «business»!! ONE of the owners isn’t bad — but the other one is rude and needs to learn «people skills» — to say the LEAST! Even though they are no longer nurses (according to their website), I am ashamed to have them affiliated with the profession of nursing at ALL. I am a nurse and I pity the patients that had the one owner as their nurse before she opened this business because if she was ANYTHING like she is now while dealing with her cupcake business, all I have to say is YIKES!!!
I will NEVER patronize this business again and will definitely warn my friends NOT to use them EITHER! Save yourself a VERY unpleasant experience and STAY AWAY — patronize OTHER businesses that actually CARE about their customers!

I have been going to Blue Frost since day 1. I would say that I have been there over 50 times since then; yes I know they have only been open 15-​or-​so months. They have gotten better and better over time, and have addressed many of the negative things I have seen in previous reviews. They now have cookies, and a lot of additional flavors. I can’t say that each cupcake has been 100% perfect each time, but it has been pretty close. I have introduced their treats to numerous people, and the only person who hasn’t raved about them is my husband. If you like cupcakes, you should do yourself a favor and check them out.

Baking is a hobby of mine, and although I usually stick with larger pan cakes, I absolutely love me a cupcake.
Because I love baking so much, I tend to be really critical of of (cup)cakes I come across in the wild. Blue Frost has the best cupcakes in Columbus, hands down. I tried six or so varieties including their milk chocolate birthday cake, vanilla birthday cake, chocolate peanut butter, red and blue velvet, and their s’more flavor. I really did not care for the blue velvet, but otherwise thought the cupcakes were fabulous!
They were really flavorful, moist and had great frostings to go with them. Not completely overloaded with sugar, also, so you were actually able to get full flavors.

Blue Frost’s cupcakes are sublime!
What sets Blue Frost apart from other bakeries in town is the ratio of frosting to cake. Their moist cake combined with the right amount of just-​sweet-​enough frosting adds up to the perfect cupcake. Try the Blue Velvet, a «Smurfy» twist on the traditional red velvet cupcake!
Blue Frost’s cupcakes don’t have that gritty, cloying sweetness so often found in cupcakes from other bakeries in town. My personal preference runs to their mini cupcakes, the best way to satisfy a cupcake craving without overindulging. Regardless of your preference in flavor (they have so many varieties available plus daily and weekly flavors), there is likely a cupcake to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
In addition to the great cupcakes, the service itself is top-​notch. Genuinely engaging bakers who have a passion for their artistry makes Blue Frost my go-​to cupcakery.

Blue Forst is a cute little store with at least 10 Daily Flavors! What I love best is that they have all Flavors in Minis as well so you dont need to eat as much of each one. I tried one of each mini and they were ALL good! Ive eaten at every Cupcake place in Columbus and these are definetly some of the best! They are always fresh, very good icing and soft with good flavors! I would recommend going here, the staff is also very nice and helpful!

Blue Frost delivers an all-​around awesome cupcake experience. It’s a clean, great-​smelling, adorable bakery with yummy, gorgeous cupcakes in a lovely location in historic Worthington. There’s even ample parking in a lot just behind it. But let’s get back to the cupcakes.
Do you know that scene in the kids movie Madagascar where Alex the lion is dreaming about steak, and he starts murmuring and sexytalking to the steak? Like «Oh my little filet, you’re such a naughty little steak» etc? Well, that’s pretty much what happens to me when I walk into Blue Frost and get my hands on their delicious cupcakes. They are WONDERFUL. My favorite flavors are peanutbutter cookie (to die for, buy several) and vanilla with chocolate frosting. When I first walked in, I thought they had a few too many vanilla/​chocolate combinations and not enough «creative» flavors but after trying them… these ladies know their strengths. Their vanilla and chocolate combos are delicious. All cupcakes are beautifully decorated and presented in nice cupcake boxes (no worries about transporting these beauties). You can buy a box of two (makes a nice gift for a friend or colleague) or six, or multiples thereof.
By the way, as a cupcake connaisseur, I have developed a method for tasting and eating cupcakes that I will share with you now. After unwrapping, start from the bottom and remove the lower third of cake with your first bite or two. This makes the rest of the eating go smoother, and allows you to get a sense for how well the cake part stands up without frosting, giving an appreciation of the cake’s flavor and moistness on its own. Subsequent delicious bites should now each be equal parts cake and frosting. This helps avoid messy frosting-​face incidents or the dreaded all-​frosting bite (too much sugar for any mere mortal). Hope this works as well for you as it does for me.

So don’t get me wrong I LOVE cupcakes. Anytime, anywhere, any flavors… yummmmmy. However these just weren’t the best I’ve had.
The shop is cute, needs more flare for a cupcake place, more cuteness or something. However the woman at the counter was very nice and did a great job describing to me what the different flavors were.
The Blue Velvet cupcake was yummy, different take on red, I enjoyed that is was different, I like the creativity put into it… However I tried the birthday cake ones, the frosting was good but the cupcakes themselves were very dry… like really dry. Maybe if they injected the cupcake with frosting that would help with the dryness. My daughter who also loves sugar as much as I do ate the top of the cupcakes but the bottoms with no frosting on them she left behind.
Spent $ 4.50 for 3 mini cupcakes that were okay not good or great :(Would I try a different flavor another time? Yes, if I was in the area and other people wanted to try but I wouldn’t drive/​walk over special to get one nor would I place an order there for a party.

Cupcakes are everywhere.
Cupcake Wars, The Cupcake Girls, DC Cupcakes, cupcake wedding cakes, that weird kid who sanyg the ‘cuppy cake song’ on Oprah (youtube it) and of course. .. cupcake shops on every corner. I even think the name ‘Cupcake’ can now be found on the top 100 baby names.. . (OK maybe I made that one up)…
But any who, I get it cupcakes are awesome. I believe in the Cupcake. Which is exactly why I am having a hard time giving a cupcake joint 2 stars but, «Meh. I’ve experienced better» really does sum it up.
I wandered past the little shop while in Worthington at the farmers market one beautiful Sunday morning. Of course I did a double take and stepped back internally mouthing, «mmmmmmmm cake» in a homer simpson-​esque way.
The cupcakes on display were really beautiful, decorated to look like cobs of corn and burgers at a cookout. Unfortunately the taste of said cupcakes was more than lacking.
Dining partner and I chose 2 cupcakes to share including chocolate peanut butter (I think it had some clever buckeyeish name of course) and the chocolate with chocolate ganache.
The best part was the peanut butter icing which didn’t have that weird fake peanut butter flavor that baked goods sometimes have. The ganache was satisfactory.
The real kicker was the cake. Both cupcakes were DRY and not particularly flavorful. I don’t know if this was a one-​off experience but if I am shelling out multiple dollars for 1 cupcake I expect them to be fresh.

So, I really want to like this place «I mean c’mon it’s cupcakes «but I don’t, I will however say that the owner is precious. She’s really sweet, and has her heart in the right place but not her recipes. There’s nothing I love more than a delicious cupcake, and when I seen this place I’m pretty sure I almost wrecked my car. But truth be told, they have barely any flavor, and lack creativity. My dream one day is to have my very own cupcake shop, and here’s proof that not everyone can do it. Maybe she will get better in time, bc I really want to like it. Maybe not?

We bought mini cupcakes for my daughters 10^th birthday party a few weeks ago. We wanted something special for her big day. I chose Blue Frost because they had some good reviews on Unilocal and I was born and raised in Worthington so i wanted to support a local shop. While there we got to met the owner. She was a sweet heart. You could tell she made those cupcakes with love. We bought a dozen minis and a ‘shot’ of peanut butter frosting. Now I thought that would be kind of gross but it was the best little bite icing I have ever had. We were all fighting over this tiny cup of wonderfulness.
Now the cupcakes were a HUGE hit. The girls loved the look and presentation on the mini’s and they tasted out of this world. It’s not every day you have a table full of 9 – 10 year olds discussing why their cupcakes were so good. I thought I was watching an episode on the food network. :) We had so many selections (blue velvet, red velvet, buckeye, Vanilla Birthday Cake, Chocolate/​Peanut Butter, lemon and chocolate gananche). To die for. My fav was the chocolate gananche. It was deep and rich. The kids were fans of the birthday cake and peanut butter.
This was well worth the money and everyone seemed to really enjoy them.

I love Blue Frost! I will definitely be returning to sample more cupcakes.
I love the simplicity of the shop! It is straight to the point. CUPCAKES. The cupcakes are beautifully displayed and every single one is so tempting!
The Chocolate/​Chocolate Ganache was amazing! The chocolate ganache on top was a bit bitter which worked well with the sweet chocolate cake!
When you go, you definitely need to get a half dozen to share, so you can try little bits of different cupcakes!!! It is too hard to choose just one ;)
I suggest hitting up this cupcake shop on Saturday mornings. They open one hour earlier (9am on Saturdays) during the Farmers Market season!!! What a perfect treat to finish of a wonderful morning at the market!!!

So I really dug this place! It was a 4.5 stars kind of place!
You need to try:
*chocolate gananche because it is to die for
*blue velvet (for the novelty factor and the post cupcake blue teeth and how much it tastes like red velvet)
The place itself is kind of dark. I would love to see more tables or the cute factor upped. They have a fair amount of flavors everyday including a special flavor of the day. The cupcakes come in mini and regular. The regular are on the smallish side (like, cupcakes you would make at home sized, not Tim Hortons putting too much batter in the muffin pan sized) but they are really rather good. They are about $ 2.50 a throw, so keep that in mind. The icing was one of the best I’ve had since I’m not really into sugary icing.
The girls who work here are super sweet and I think I’m definitely going to be back! I don’t know that it’ll dethrone Pink Moon, but I’m looking forward to letting it try.

Today I was faced with a sweet tooth attack and was driving through Worthington: Graeter’s or… Blue Frost Cupcake? I chose to try something different for the sake of being different. I like cake… I like cupcakes… what’s not to like, right? This bake shop is located in the storefront that a stationary shop used to occupy. The inside is HUGE but there are only a couple of small chairs and tables for sitting down and eating your treats. There seemed to be a fairly wide variety of flavors of cupcakes today. They sell minis, and the regular size. The regular size, to me, felt like a mini. I felt that $ 2.50 for a small cupcake was a little bit too much for what I got. The cake could have been moister and a little more flavorful. Maybe I’m just a red-​velvet snob. The frosting was good, though. I think it saved the whole cupcake from being bad.
Also, I wanted to get the cupcake to go (I didn’t want to eat it inside, and I didn’t want to carry it outside on a napkin because it was windy and, well… I’m sometimes clumsy. When I asked the lady if I could have it to-​go, she looked at me like I was nuts, like – hello, it IS to-​go, I gave you a napkin-​kind of look. I then asked her for a small box or a bag, and she said they were all out of small boxes for single cupcakes and the smallest box she had was for six cupcakes. I mentioned how that seemed a little bit of a waste for just one cupcake, and she agreed a little too readily (I really got the feeling that she was peeved I was only buying one cupcake, and on top of that, wanted to get it to-​go). She ended up putting it one of the enormous boxes for me, basically because if I didn’t get a box, I wasn’t going to buy anything from her. Left me with kind of a bad taste in my mouth. In the end, I wished I had driven the extra few minutes to pattycake if I wanted a cupcake. :(

We didn’t get off to the best impression when we went a few days after they opened and walked in to a cupcakery with only half of their advertised cupcakes available due to oven issues. 3 of the main ones I wanted to try wouldn’t be available for over an hour so we left. We finally made it back and said we’d try mini’s because we weren’t having a culinary hit kind of day. Well guess what, no minis. Not a one. Oh yeah, they had a ‘few red velvets but didn’t have them out because they were rotating them in and out.’ (???) I was not jazzed on paying $ 2.50 for a cupcake that measures 2″ on the bottom (yes I measured it because I was shocked how small they were when we got them home) but the icing looked more pulled together than our first visit. We chose a half dozen– 2 milk chocolate yellow cake, 1 vanilla yellow cake, 1 chocolate peanut butter, 1 carrot cake («leftovers» from a special order) and a ganache cupcake. As we were getting checked out the woman, who was nice, was kind of not selling the cupcakes very well. She said the carrot one were «leftovers they were trying to sell off from a special order» which made it sound like they were cast offs. Instead say it was a one day thing and there are only 3 left. I know it may seem like semantics but you ARE selling a product. She showed us a list of all of these awesome flavors they *did* make but don’t normally including the buckeye which apparently sold out all the time and she didn’t understand why because she didn’t like peanut butter. She may not have been knocking the cupcake but it kind of came off that way. Maybe save the honesty for friends and family?
The chocolate/​peanut butter was decent. The frosting was really rich but it did overpower the chocolate cupcake so I couldn’t even taste that. I really liked the vanilla on yellow cake. The basic buttercream frosting is very good. Now the milk chocolate on yellow cake… ugh. The frosting (which she raved about) was overpowering on the cocoa. It didn’t taste like milk chocolate or even dark chocolate, it tasted like COCOA. My hubby likes dark chocolate and that bittery taste but he hated this frosting. He said the ganache one tasted just as bad and bitter. He did like the carrot cake cupcake though. All in all, it was overpriced, the frosting doesn’t go to the edges which kinda gives me a jipped feeling, still not feeling like they have a good flow business wise yet and it feels oddly dark and poorly lit in there except for the little spotlights they have on their counters. Again they are nice there but unfortunately nice doesn’t satisfy my sweet tooth.

I came here after reading Sabrina’s review. The shop is probably a lot bigger than it has to be considering the cupcakes are so small. Even with all the selections they barely take up a few racks.
I bought a couple of the chocolate/​chocolate and one small one that was chocolate/​peanut butter. The last one is gone already (2 bites). ;) And I’ll kill the other two tonight after dinner. The first one was really good and the prices ($ 2.50 each for the regular size) aren’t bad but geez, that’s still pretty expensvie when you consider what the ingredients cost.

Solid start for the new cupcake place in Worthington! I went with two friends and we got a total of 7 large cupcakes and two minis for about 17 dollars.
They had less flavors available than advertised on their website but enough of a variety to allow us all to get something we wanted. I bought the two minis for myself, one a blue velvet (red velvet dyed blue) and a white cupcake with vanilla frosting.
The creamcheese frosting on the blue velvet mini was awesome. A good size dollop and very tasty. The cake wasn’t too sweet, which is how I like it, and it was well flavored. The constancy was great too. Not crumbly or dry but not overly moist either.
The vanilla cupcake had a buttercream frosting that was a little tangier than what I expected but it was quite good. It wasn’t crumbly at all, but the top was a tiny bit overdone which I found weird. You usually only get that at home!
Either way, they’re brand new so they may just have a few kinks to get out of their system before everything is just right. I can definitely see another trip to Blue Frost in my future!
