Absolutely love the salted cupcake. I live in Kalamazoo so I don't get them as often as I want but I will make a special trip to Grand Rapids just for these cupcakes! My all time favorite is the salted cupcake flavor. I love the rotating menu. Every single cupcake I've ever had from Here has been amazing.

Truly amazing cupcakes. Flavor, aesthetics, and variety can't be beat anywhere in Grand Rapids. An absolute gem.

Such a sweet little shop. Hours are limited so check ahead before you go. I love the ever changing menu and very reasonable prices. All the cakes I got were moist and flavourful. All the cupcakes had fillings and the frostings and toppings complemented the flavors so well. Overall, delicious and looking forward to next time I'm in the area and can grab a few more new flavors.

The Salted Cupcake has become a tradition for us in terms of birthday cupcakes and I thought I knew all of their options. I recently picked up a dozen for my Dad's birthday and was amazed to see even more exciting flavors - including the PUPCAKE! Needless to say, our golden retriever puppy was also very pleased to check it out as she inhaled it in three bites. The staff here are always super patient and friendly, even when the line is out the door, and while the building is super small, they make you feel extra special.

Very creative snd extensive cupcake menu The cake's are light and moist and the frosting is light and not overly heavy even with extra toppings.

I'd tried this cute little mom and pop cupcake shop a few years ago when we needed some gluten free cupcakes for my moms birthday and they were the only ones at the time I could fine to oblige. Even years later I must say if you have a sweet tooth than this secret little delight is well worth it. My work brought them in for a retirement party and I got to enjoy a strawberry shortcake cupcake (with actual strawberry milk plunger).

No one can beat the flavor variety here! We tried the banana pudding, death by chocolate, beer butter and tres leches. All the bad reviews unfortunately carry some truth. Death by Chocolate - the buttercream is heavy, it taste pure sugar and not good quality fluffy butter and u wish it actually had some flavor. The cupcake batter is dry. I wish it would be more crumbly. Banana Pudding - really good, the torched merengue cover was done really well! The cupcake itself could've been a bit more moist but for this topping it was a big problem. Tres Leches - the whipped topping was nice and delicate, but the batter was so dry and for the authentic tres leches, it lacked the tres leches soak mainly the coconut milk flavor. Butter Beer - tasted great, the frosting was good but again just wish that was lighter. Service was great and ordering very easy. Cupcakes were priced right, and despite of some of the misses on the batter and buttercream frosting, I would round this review to a 4-star since it was the most convenient way to order and the creativity and beauty of these cupcakes.

If you haven't tried The Salted Cupcake before, they have a new weekly menu starting on Tuesday and runs until Sunday. Five unique creations each week along with a set of recurring favorites (including Pupcakes!). They get reallyyyyy creative with some of these cupcakes. I've had them twice before and loved them so much. They're very light, delicate cakes that don't sit heavy in your stomach. Let me know which one sounds the best to you. Death by chocolate - The naming on this one is pretty on point. If you're a chocolate lover, get this ASAP. It's the perfect balance of richness, sweetness, and cocoa flavor. It reminds me of the classic Hershey's chocolate cake recipe if you're familiar with that. Chocolate frosting was delicious and had a very mild cocoa flavor. Ganache filling was heaven. And the flourless brownie on top was much better than a cherry. It was dense but crumbly and delicate at the same time, 8/10. White chocolate raspberry - I'm a massive raspberry fan soooo... this one was my favorite. The raspberry buttercream is to die for. It's not very heavy on the raspberry flavoring which works really well with the light vanilla bean cake. The raspberry filling was thick and sweet which added a great contrast to the cake and buttercream. The white chocolate snowflake garnish was a beautiful touch. It's really simple but absolutely delicious. Definitely more sweet and less rich than the other two cupcakes, 9/10. Salted cupcake - The chocolate cake was moist, light, and fluffy, same as the Death By Chocolate. The caramel sauce on top was absolutely delicious (surprise surprise it tasted like caramel). The peanut butter buttercream frosting was a bit strange to me. The texture was perfect - melt in your mouth and had a good airy/light texture. It tasted like peanut butter for sure. But it had this strange artificial kind of taste to it. Funny enough it reminds me of this chocolate peanut butter protein powder I just got, that's the kind of weird taste I'm talking about. Still great though, 7/10.

Ordered cupcakes for my daughters baby shower. They were a huge hit, absolutely delicious and exceptional customer service. Bravo!!! The best cupcakes ever!!!
