I make at least one stop every time I come to Wilmington, which is most weekends in the summer and occasionally during the fall and winter. I dont like cupcakes but I love these. Theyre not like cupcakes. Theyre like miniature cakes in the shape of a cupcake. And not any cake, but a high quality, perfectly sweetened, flavorful cake with wonderful filings, toppings and just the right amount of icing. My favorites are: banana pudding, bananas foster, cranberry citrus, peach citrus, chocolate peanut. Theres more of them that I love but I forgot their names. Theyre all delicious and not cloyingly sweet like most cakes. Do not even think these are like any other cupcake place. If youve been turned off by chain cupcake places such as Gigis, then please give TPC a try. They will totally reinvent your perception of what a quality cupcake is!

I have tried 2-3 cupcakes from here and havent been severely impressed by any of them. I believe I tried pink lemonade, salted caramel, and I cant recall the other. All were a bit on the dry side. The salted caramels icing was wayyyy sweet. I particularly am not a huge fan of buttercream frosting, but this was really sweet. I think something more on the cream cheese frosting side would have been a better compliment to the flavors. I enjoyed the yellow filling underneath the regular icing a bit more. They were presented well and pretty. I do think they could have been a bit larger though. Not the best cupcakes I have ever had, but it was good.

Im currently working for the Red Cross and received completely disrespectful behavior from the owner of the store. I called to ask about buying cupcakes for a Volunteer Celebration for those who are serving in NC as a result of Hurricane Matthew, and after interrupting multiple times to know if I was a solicitor, hung up before I could even explain the reason for my call. I understand being busy, and Im sure the cupcakes here are great, but I will never visit a place that does not give each potential customer the respect and courtesy they deserve.

I am an event planner and I just love this place!!! Unbelievable customer service and hands down the very best cupcakes in this town and really that Ive ever had. Not to sweet but certainly a decadent experience. My clients are always so happy with their product and I cant say enough about how easy they are to work with and how nice they are! You will love them also!

My favorite stop when I visit Wilmington! Cupcakes are unlike any others. The banana pudding is my go-to, but the tiramisu and pumpkin tiramisu are fighting for second place! The owner and family are awesome! I love top stop in and chat with them. Great place with great cupcakes run by great people!

Visited this shop on a drizzly Sunday night. We brought home vanilla caramel and banana pudding cupcakes which were outstanding and made us wish wed gotten six. Stop by this gem of a shop where your cupcake is frosted to order for a treat that will leave you wanting more!

Delicious specialty cupcakes. Unusual flavors but all are great! The staff (usually only one person working, two during busy times) are very interested in making sure that you have a great experience.

The best ever cupcakes!! I love their "mission statement" they have on the chalkboard. She takes a lot of pride in preparing delicious gourmet cupcakes with the best ingredients.

Super friendly and super delicious. I had the blueberry habanero. Buttery and delicious with a hint of heat. You might want order 2 and some jasmine sweet tea to wash it down.

These cupcakes are gourmet. Very buttery and flavorful. Tried 7 different flavors and each one delivered a unique and pleasant experience. Cant wait to indulge in more!

Fresh, delicious combinations and not overly sweet. Seemed to be a family owned business wanting to exceed our expectations. Tried the blackberry fennel cupcake - YUM

Best cupcakes in town! Great atmosphere, outdoor seating in a great part of town. If you dont go here while your in Wilmington youre doing yourself a disservice.

The best cupcakes in Wilmington NC ♔ Every trip down here always includes a visit. I wish I could take a dozen home, but half a dozen is just as nice

Awesome cupcakes! Good people. My pregnant wife had the salted caramel and it made her forget how bad she had to pee.

The cupcakes were phenomenal. Great way to get a high quality desert in convenient hand held sized portions.
