The cupcake bar was the best choice for dessert at our wedding! we received so many compliments about this being a fun experience to pick and choose everything from fillings to icing to toppings!! The entire experience from the tastings to having them setup and be at our wedding was very smooth and seamless. They even made little cupcakes for my husband and I to enjoy after the wedding! I recommend going with the cupcake bar if you're looking for something to enhance your event!
We absolutely loved the service provided by The Cupcake Bar! We hired them for our Halloween Employee Appreciation event at work, and it was a huge hit. We opted for their Caramel Apple Bar, and they went above and beyond by decorating their stand with a fun Halloween theme. The employees were thrilled to enjoy such delicious, custom-made caramel apples.
The Cupcake Bar is extremely professional, and their customer service exceeded our expectations. They even sent me a thoughtful thank-you note a few days after the event, which was such a nice touch. I highly recommend them for any event—you won’t be disappointed!
The Cupcake Bar was wonderful! We had their donut bar for our wedding, and it was a huge hit for my guests! Super happy we booked with them!
I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience working with The Cupcake Bar! Over the past year, I've collaborated with them on over 12 events for our company, ranging from straightforward team shipments to dynamic and entertaining classes. Not only do they deliver incredibly creative products, but their team is an absolute joy to work with. Their classes are not only fun and engaging but also have a remarkable knack for bringing out the best in even the most introverted members of our groups. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a dash of creativity and excitement to their team-building endeavors! 🧁✨ #TheCupcakeBar #TeamBuilding #CreativeEvents
The Cupcake Bar was the perfect addition to our wedding! The coordination was easy, the staff were friendly, and the actual cupcakes were out of this world!! Our guests kept raving about them. Highly recommend!
Who wants a cake when you can get a donut wall? We decided to go with The Cupcake Bar for our custom designed donut wall and they absolutely delivered. The donut wall was gorgeous, delicious, and a huge hit with our guests!
We had a wonderful experience working with Kim and Alexa up to the event. That tasting blew us away, and we knew we were in good hands. Alexa designed the vinyl for our wall, and she was fantastic. We so appreciated the extra time and care she put into designing our custom vinyl backdrop. It was stunning and exactly what we wanted!
Ashlee served our guests at the wedding, and she was excellent. She really helped bring the fun element we wanted our guests to feel! We're also grateful for the time she took to box up the extra donuts and packaging two of them especially for us, too. All of the donuts found good homes at the end of the reception!
All in all, we're so happy to have found The Cupcake Bar and had them at our wedding.
We had an awesome experience with The Cupcake Bar! From planning our guest dessert bar and cutting cake with Kim to the design of the tables with Alexa - everything was super easy and pleasant. Everyone loved the desserts and we loved our cutting cake! Thanks, Cupcake Bar!
The Cupcake Bar never disappoints and no idea is ever off limits! I shot them an e-mail about an activation that is not currently offered, and they were able to flawlessly execute! Communication is always thorough and timely, which is always appreciated. I love any chance I get to work with Kim, Lori and team!
The Cupcake Bar was seriously an amazing decision to add to my wedding! After quoting from multiple bakeries, I really didn’t like the idea of choosing one or two flavors for all guests. I wanted something customizable and I recalled my employer hiring them for a doughnut wall that was a ton of fun. The cupcake bar was a huge hit with our guests. Since I was running around all night I didn’t get to go up to the actual table, but they packed up all the extras and I enjoyed them later. Not only were they prompt and matched the wedding decor, but they were delicious. I was so happy to have been able to give our guests more choices and the cost was about the same as having one large cake made. They have other options too if cupcakes isn’t what you want.
Seriously, just book them, they are amazing.
We recently had the pleasure of having The Cupcake Bar at our Hawaiian themed wedding welcome party, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The team went above and beyond, especially considering they had to relocate at the last minute due to inclement weather. We were truly grateful for their flexibility and quick thinking.
From the moment we booked our event with the office team to the cupcake bartenders, the entire team displayed exceptional professionalism and friendliness. They were open to our ideas and offered suggestions to help us with our event. They set up a fantastic display that caught everyone's attention. The level of care and attention to detail they put into every aspect was truly impressive.
The custom cupcakes and cookies provided were a hit among our guests. The variety of flavors and toppings offered was outstanding, and everyone found something they loved. The cupcakes were not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious.
Moreover, the cupcake bar team's dedication to ensuring our guests had a memorable experience was evident. They engaged with everyone and made sure everyone's preferences were catered to. Their warm and welcoming demeanor created a pleasant atmosphere that added to the overall enjoyment of the event.
Without a doubt, we will highly recommend The Cupcake Bar for any special occasion. Their ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances and deliver exceptional service speaks volumes about their professionalism and commitment. The sweet treats were a definite crowd-pleaser, and our guests couldn't stop raving about them. If you're looking for a unique and delicious experience, look no further.
I used to plan corporate events and used Cupcake Bar as a vendor all the time. I knew when it was time to plan my wedding, I didn't want a traditional cake so I called Cupcake Bar! Their cupcakes are so delicious and they are always on time and professional. They are the best!
I used The Cupcake Bar for an office event and these were a hit. They offer taste-testing boxes, and a spread of toppings you can choose from. Not only were the donuts delicious the customer service was outstanding. 10/10 Would use them again for future events.
I absolutely love working with the Cupcake Bar! Their staff goes above and beyond and always leaves us so impressed! We have planned several events with The Cupcake Bar and plan to continue using them as our preferred vendor. The cupcakes are absolutely amazing!!
Absolutely amazing! We used them as our one of our featured desserts for our wedding in June of 2022. I was so impressed with their Kimberly and her teams response time, warmth, and eagerness to collaborate. I asked for a custom Texas flag donut wall and they blew me away! People from our wedding still brag about the doughnuts and the display. They also sent a thoughtful card after our wedding that meant so much. I highly recommend!
They were amazing, they took a picture I found and designed the cutest donuts for the donut wall and also had the most delicious cupcakes.
THE BEST CUPCAKES IN THE AUSTIN AREA! Truly an amazing interactive catering experience for my husband and I and our guests! They even have gluten sensitive cupcakes and they were amazing and so so delicious! I plan to have them at more of our family milestones! They are my favorite :)
I LOVE using the Cupcake Bar for events. I am an event planner and Their treats are out of this world yummy and the interactive displays are such a fun part of any event. They make any event extra special. Not only are they so professional, they are a joy to work with. I would highly recommend The Cupcake Bar to anyone wanting a really wonderful extra special experience for your guests.
I have used the Cupcake bar for several years for in person events...they curate and create amazing events!! But this past year with all tings covid (blah) Lori & Team saved the holidays for my team across the US!! They curated amazing gift boxes with yummy fun local Austin TX treats to send to my folks from coast to coast.
The process was super easy...even after I messed up one of the address's, Lori and team personally connected with the individual, confirmed the appropriate address and shipped out a new package to them ASAP!
The customer service, creativity, care and concern are amazing and unmatched in my experience!! The are my go to moving forward!!!
The one thing my daughter wanted at her wedding was a Caramel Apple Bar. Cupcake Bar provided a very professional and personalized service to our wedding guests and made her day perfect. We received raves for delicious crisp apples and toppings. Thank you for everything.
We purchased the Carmel apple bar services for our wedding and it was everything we wanted and then some! The dessert was delicious and the service was amazing. Our apple bartender was amazing, so kind and courteous. I’d highly recommend the cupcake bar for any dessert catering at your events!
If you are looking for the perfect buttercream icing, look no further. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the icing amount is perfection.
The cupcakes themselves are moist and yummy and a perfect size. Kids of all ages will fall in love with these cupcakes.
Cupcake Bar was a PERFECT option for sending my bestie a gift from across the state! Not only did she mention the cupcakes FLAVOR being delicious but they also have extra options you can add to your package for delivery! I added a local candle and bath bomb so she felt like a queen on her big day! Thank you for being a one-stop-shop and delivering it directly!
I’m a big fan of Lori and the entire Cupcake Bar team. I was lucky to experience them at live events pre-COVID. Always interactive, exceptional service, fun, and visually appealing.
I most recently bought their Christmas themed cupcakes & they were so cute and more importantly delicious.
Pickup was super easy and COVID safe. I highly, highly recommend them!
Cupcake Bar was so easy to work with and responsive. My order was on time and beautifully packaged, and of course delicious!
Love working with the Cupcake Bar team. Always so friendly, professional and the cupcakes are so yummy!
Just recently ordered some fabulous margarita cupcakes and they were absolutely perfect! They looked so cute and they tasted amazing, and the team was so easy to work with. I could've have been happier and I am so excited to place another order :)
Can not say enough amazing things about The Cupcake Bar! I have been using their services for the last 13 years and they have never disappointed, not once. They are a great gift, just a treat for yourself or a great addition to any event!
Ordered a cupcake kit for some Friday night quarantine fun and it definitely did not disappoint! The decorations were easy (even for 5 yr olds) and the cupcakes/frosting were so good! Looking forward to ordering more for future events!
Just the cutest concept. Such a fun, interactive way for guests to enjoy their own custom cupcakes. The staff is so friendly and I love their cupcake setup. They also offer donut walls too, which are also so cute! If you want a fun, unique dessert experience for your guests, you should definitely hire them for your wedding or event.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Kimberly at the Cupcake Bar. Kimberly made sure we ordered the correct number for our wedding party and helped us choose the designs and flavors. It was a hit wedding night as we did the roaming cupcakes on the dance floor. Our guests told us how much they loved the cupcakes in addition to the cake! I would definitely recommend the Cupcake Bar, they are responsive, helpful and did a wonderful job :)
The Cupcake Bar was a huge hit at my wedding! Working with them was such a pleasure from start to finish. They made the booking process easy and fun and worked to customize the set up based on my colors and theme. I loved doing some unique besides the traditional cake and all my guests did too! It was so fun watching everyone get excited picking out their favorite flavors and toppings. We did carrot cake, italian cream, and chocolate peanut butter and they were all delicious! I highly recommend for weddings or really any kind of event!
I have used The CupCake Bar for many social events and it’s always such a fun treat! From their cupcake bar to roaming treats and late night snacks, Lori, Kim and the team always step it up to that sweet sweet level! Their creativeness is awesome as well and love working with them. Thank you!
Kimberly and her staff are so amazing to work with and always provide such an excellent service. We had them for our rehearsal dinner and it made our event so much better for having them. I would recommend cupcake bar over and over. Thanks for such a great experience.
We have used The Cupcake Bar for our events where I work, and they're always the friendliest! They're so wonderful to work with! Not the mention the added plus of amazing cupcakes :)
The Cupcake bar will do anything to make your event perfect! The team responds quickly and is extremely accommodating to dietary needs! I highly recommend having them cater sweet treats for any event.
The Cupcake Bar is an amazing vendor with excellent service. Their team helped every step of the way and was flexible when we decided to change up our offering. From behind the scenes to on site they provided exemplary customer service and were professional and fun for our guests. They are so accommodating, easy to work with, and helped make our vision a reality! Looking forward to using their services at future events!
I hired them for a corporate event and it went amazingly! The perfect fun touch to an otherwise fireball event. The entire booking process was easy and went without a hitch
We utilized The Cupcake Bar for a “D’Mores” (Donut + S’mores) wall at our wedding and it was the biggest hit! Not only was the wall super fun décor-wise, but our guests loved the interactive experience of getting to create their own “D’More” by selecting their flavor of donut, roasting their own marshmallows and choosing their own toppings. This, coupled with the excellent customer service that their staff members Dakota and Fuen provided throughout the night, made for easily one of the most memorable takeaways from our wedding. And not to mention that the donuts were delicious! If you are getting married in the Austin/Dripping Springs area and are looking for something other than a traditional wedding cake to have at your wedding, I highly recommend this vendor!
I can't say enough good things about this company. Their operations are seamless, and they take all of the stress out of event planning. I have done two events with them (one cupcake bar and one donut bar) for my sorority, and I have also ordered custom cupcakes from them. Every time I work with them I'm amazed by the quality of service--not to mention everything is delicious! Their staff is so talented, and their passion for baking shows in each event they do.
I will continue to hire them for my events and love getting to support these local business owners.
We had the best experience with the cupcake bar - they were extra helpful in understanding the process - and their online portal was the easiest thing to fill out! We did a nontraditional cake, and honestly - this was the best decision of the wedding planning I made. The ladies at the cupcake bar exceeded my expectations, and even made us a Bride and Groom cupcake (one for each) for us to eat after the festivities were complete. They matched our color scheme, and honestly just WOWed everyone. I'd higher them again, and again, for any event. They also had an awesome set-up that they brought!!!
What a wonderful experience. They were professional and organized from the very start. Everything from picking the menu to the actual service was seamless and fresh. I definitely will use them again and will highly recommend them to others.
Hiring The Cupcake Bar was one of the proudest moments of my wedding! I hired them to surprise my now-husband with a surprise birthday party during the wedding. They were spectacular! It was spectacular! Seriously, the highlight of the night. If you are looking for a special “extra” for a party, this is it! I talked to them and then went and did a tasting. Bc it was a surprise bday party for the groom of a wedding, we already had cake coming, so I chose to have them bring out a floating tray of donuts. I had initially tasted several flavors and icing flavors and we looked at pictures so that I could design the whole look. I was able to go with 2 donut flavors with a pink buttercream, gold pearl sprinkles and gold tall skinny candles. She carried them out on a white open tray that I chose that had been imprinted with our monogram (nice touch). The white tray looked like it was floating bc it was held up with 2 dozen gold and silver balloons. I was even able to choose the outfit the Cupcake girl wore! Silver and black sequins in this case. She was perfectly on time, looked flawless, worked seemlessly with my wedding planner and arrived early (9ish) and stayed until 11pm. Everyone loved the donuts! They could not stop raving about the cinnamon sugar ones. I really liked that all payments were handled electronically. And again, I really like the tasting and preparation/planning process. Super professional, these ladies and gents know their business! I wish I could post the video someone made of her walking out onto our beautiful dance floor surrounded by walls of draping, amber uplighting, huge white arrangements, her sequined dress carrying this floating tray with all these balloons and the gold sparkly candles as the 10-piece brass band played Happy Birthday, seemingly in slow motion, and presented them to my groom. Priceless.
I had The Cupcake Bar come out to my wedding in August 2018 at Pecan Springs Ranch. The service provided by Lori and Kimberly was beyond amazing. I probably asked them over 100 questions that were promptly answered by either Lori or Kimberly - or I was provided a turn around time if they were both out of office. Leading up to wedding day was simple because Lori and Kimberly made sure everything was good on their end and all of my questions were answered. Day of - I didn't even realize that they were setting up because of how quiet and quick they were. I ordered the mini cupcakes and they were a hit. There was a longgggggg line of guests waiting to get their hands on some delicious cupcakes. My mistake was not having two tables set up with more cupcake bartenders! The table set up was perfect and looked elegant. I would definitely use their services again AND recommend that you hire them! I cannot say enough good things about these two ladies and the service that they provide!
The Cupcake Bar is a fun and delicious addition to any event. The staff are organized and easy to work with, and our customers always love the opportunity to customize their own cupcake!
The Cupcake Bar met all my dessert needs for our wedding! I started my search early and Lori's team met with me very quickly to offer a great variety of options. All of the desserts we tried are amazing and the price is even better than ordering a wedding cake. The idea of having a bar serving dessert was a hit with our guests. We had two bars for 175 guests and it worked perfectly. In addition, the process to finalize details was very professional and easy to follow. Lori's teams is so friendly and they set up the bars to match your theme if you specify it - an amazing package!
I am an event planner and used The Cupcake Bar for two events this past April - guests absolutely loved the desserts! Had the Roaming Treats for a 300 person event - the bite sized desserts were both perfect and delicious! Great variety and loved that you could personalize the trays! Had the doughnut wall at an 80 person event and the guests raved about it! Everyone wanted a selfie with the wall and the doughnuts tasted and looked amazing! Each and every person I worked with at The Cupcake Bar was helpful, friendly and provided exceptional customer service. I highly recommend them and cannot wait to use them again!
I am a planner and I always do back flips when my clients want to hire The Cupcake Bar. They are so fun and easy to work with. Their desserts are always delicious, and on the day-of, their staff is never less than exceptional. To show even more how much I love them, I even hired them for my own wedding! You will not be disappointed when you hire The Cupcake Bar!
Fantastic! Great options, extremely friendly staff, and fun for your guests! Highly recommended!
The wedding guests at my daughters wedding thought this was the greatest idea of creating their own personal cupcake. Staff went above and beyond.
Our guests loved The Cupcake Bar! Kimberly, Lori, Kelly, and Dakota were all wonderful at what they do. They were there for me every step of the way. Out of all the chaos during planning and the day of everything went so smooth. Arrived on time, setup quickly, made everything look beautiful, and tasted delicious! You won't regret choosing the cupcake bar.
HOLY CUPCAKE!
This place is fantastic!
The cupcake bar is super cool and was cheaper than buying a million tier wedding cake, which let's be honest here, who was going to finish all that cake anyway?
Choosing the cupcake bar is going to make your life so easy! We were able to choose our own cupcake flavors, fillings, and toppings! Our guest loved them so much that I had to move the "cake time" up for all those sweet tooths not so patiently waiting. The best part is that the cupcake servers were really sweet and did not serve anyone until we had our cupcake first. They were really friendly, accommodating, and just down right awesome. All of the leftover cupcakes were packed up and luckily for us sent home with most of our guest!
I'm not going to lie, I didn't even save our cupcake for the next year, we ate it right away because it was too delish not to!
Also, we got some sweet swag!
Check them out, you will NOT be dissapointed!
We hired The Cupcake Bar for our wedding on 5/27/16. I worked/spoke with primarily Lori and Kim and they were always professional and kind. It was really wonderful working with them!
Besides the great customer service, the cupcakes were a huge hit! My coworkers and family are still raving about them, wondering when (and for what event) we will have them next. The setup was beautiful and our guests loved loved loved it. Such a fun, unique idea. And with such great staff, we will be recommending them to our friends and family! Thank you, Lori and Kim!!
The cupcake bar is amazing! We are so happy we used them for our wedding! They showed up on time, decorated the table very well, was so great with our guest, and everything looked and tasted awesome! Guest of all ages really enjoyed making their own cupcakes, and it made our wedding even more memorable for them. A great way to add a fun twist to your special day!
The Cupcake Bar is truly a dream vendor! I knew from the first 5 minutes of meeting the owner, Lori, that my wedding desserts were in the best possible hands. I'm a baker myself and extremely picky. Lori's cupcakes are incredibly tender and the buttercream is divine. I was talking about them for days after my tasting, and my guests are STILL taking about them nearly a year later. Lori and her staff are so easy to work with. They are professional and thorough and went above and beyond with communication and emails to make sure we were all on the same page. Their display at our wedding was top notch! They matched our decor perfectly. It's such a unique twist to have guests be able to interact with the Bartenders and create their own personal dessert.
The personal touches they put on the mobile treat bars were my favorite part! Our guests raved over them! I seriously could not recommend a vendor enough. These are the people you want to work with if you want everything to run seamlessly and your guests to leave happy! If I could get married again tomorrow just to work with Lori and her staff again, I would!
We had cupcake bar at our wedding on 4-11-2015 instead of a grooms cake, it was a hit, especially with the kids! It was so fun to pick different flavors & toppings, the kids kept going back & handing out cupcakes to people, was very sweet & cute. Lori was very easy to work with & they did a fabulous job, I would highly recommend them to make your special day fun & unique!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Cupcake Bar. It was SUCH a hit at my wedding! Everyone kept coming up to me all night talking about how fun the idea was and how yummy the cupcakes were. The presentation was also just stunning. I walked into the room after it was flipped and it was the first thing that I saw. I was floored! Jordan (out cupcake bartender) was also so sweet and everyone loved her. She was efficient (I got a little worried that the line would get out of hand as people rushed the bar but she was on it!) but also very kind to all of the guests.
I also have to say something extra special about the owner, Lori. From the moment I met her, she was so gracious and attentive to our needs and wishes for the event and also so flexible with us being so far away (we live in Massachusetts and got married in Texas). She was truly my favorite vendor/person to work with throughout the entire process and I believe it was fate that led me to Lori! She came up with an AMAZING concept and I will recommend the Cupcake Bar to anyone and everyone! It is worth every penny.
Lori was so easy to work with, and the cupcake bar was a show stopper at the wedding. We loved the variety and creativity that went into the cupcakes! It was the best twist on an unconventional dessert for our guests! Loved it and would hire them again in a heartbeat!
We used The Cupcake Bar at our wedding on 10.14.12. I decided that I didn’t want to do a traditional wedding cake and when I found The Cupcake Bar, I immediately fell in love with their concept! I love desserts but more importantly I love candy! Many weddings I have been to lately have either had a candy bar or cupcakes as the wedding dessert but I haven’t been to a wedding that has combined the 2 concepts. The Cupcake Bar is such a fun and interactive way to serve dessert at your wedding. I loved that we were able to pick multiple flavors, icings, fillings and toppings so there was something for everyone! We were able to have plain toppings, like peanuts and sprinkles, for those who don’t love candy as well as funky toppings like cotton candy, Pop Rocks and Milk Duds for those who want to get creative. Lori, the owner, and the cupcake bartenders were so great to work with! Lori was very quick to respond to all of my emails and very helpful explaining everything to me since we were not able to come in and do a tasting in person since we live out of state. Both bartenders were very friendly and engaging with our guests. They made the whole experience very fun and unique for all of us! I highly recommend The Cupcake Bar to anyone looking for a fun and delicious dessert for your next event! Thank you Lori & The Cupcake Bar for helping make our wedding so sweet!!
Instead of a traditional wedding cake, we used the Cupcake Bar. Lori was a pleasure to work with, she was very responsive and accommodated me changing my mind a number of times about what Tier to go with. My guests LOVED the cupcakes. My groom and I were so busy we actually never went by to get one, but Nathan very kindly packaged 2 up for us at the end of the night!
When planning my wedding, one of the goals was to create an evening where all of my guests had a chance to participate. Thankfully I found the Cupcake Bar. Not only are the cupcakes awesome (much better than those famous cupcakes in NY), the cupcake bar was a fun interactive activity. Everyone LOVED it. My friends and family said they had 2nds, 3rds, and even 4ths. And they raved about the candy options. The Cupcake Bar was an essential component of the evening. It definitely kept the evening lively, and everyone entertained.
