Eva’s CupCakery

So ya… I’m a little disappointed. I so wanted to love this place. I bought two cupcakes today, a confetti one which was yellow cake with confetti, and a blue buttercream frosting, and a yellow lemonade cupcake, that had a very small amount of lemon filling in it, and a pink lemonade type buttercream.
I’ve eaten some pretty great cupcakes all over the world, and grew up with a mom who is a fabulous baker, and makes everything from scratch. So the first thing that matters to me in a cupcake is that the cake doesn’t taste fake, and like a bunch of chemicals. It should be moist, and almost melt in your mouth. Eva’s did pass the not fake test. It was definitely not a mix, or loaded with a bunch of junk. The flavor itself was good on both, and the lemonade frosting I really liked, the blue frosting, tasted strongly of food coloring which I can’t stand so I just scraped it all off. In my opinion cupcakes should be the perfect combo. Delicious, moist cake, with creamy delicious buttercream frosting. You should be able to eat either part and consider them both to be delicious on their own, but then when combined you get an even more fabulous taste sensation. I couldn’t say that about Eva’s cupcakes. They were good, but far from great, and while the cupcake itself was tasty, and not artificial, it was VERY dry. I felt like I was eating cupcakes that were a few days old. I couldn’t eat just the cake itself without the frosting as I couldn’t swallow it, it got stuck in my throat. I think they have really great potential (if the cupcake itself was reworked to be less dry, and the buttercream just a bit more buttery)…at $ 4.00 a piece though these were just not acceptable to me. :(

I like this place, it’s a bit spendy, but I don’t mind it! It beats slaving away making my own cupcakes LOL well at least for me, I don’t have time to bake. I love the Elvis, that’s my all time fav! I love that this place is locally owned and operated, I’m all for supporting local businesses

I gave this 3 stars because the cupcakes were beautiful and the price didn’t bother me so much but they were really dry. The guy working was really friendly and it was very clean. I got a German Chocolate and the cake part wasn’t anything amazing. The pink lemonade was really good and it did have a lemon filling.

Nasty. Super dried out cupcakes that flaked apart. Pretty sure they’re using box mixes or buy fillings. What a waste of $ 4 for a cupcake. Literally, threw it away.

When it comes to cupcakes, there are a few things that I always look for.
First, I want to taste butter in the buttercream, crisco frosting is a no-​no, Eva’s cupcakery uses butter, woohoo!
Secondly, I want moist cake, Eva’s was moist.
And lastly, I want fun flavors if I’m buying them at a shop. These flavors are fun and go together great. My favorite is the lemon and lavender cupcake.
The shop is clean and cute.
It has a nice assortment of refreshments.
And the staff was very nice, the shop has a welcoming atmosphere, in my opinion. I’ve walked into places and without even talking to anyone I feel tension in the air, or an unwelcoming feeling from staff. This is not at all like that, it has a good vibes, I like good vibes.
Yep, I’d recommend it :)

I love Eva’s cupcakes! They are my go to gift stop, for others and myself! The perfect dessert after lunch at Xalos! My favorite are the red cupcakes, and Eva has even made custom designs for me for gifts. My fave!

I’m surprised by the negative reviews. Eva’s Cupcakery is wonderful! I’ve ordered cakes, cupcakes (reg and mini) for over 2 years now and I’ve always had wonderful service. The first time I ordered a cake I was surprised by how much larger it was than what was explained when I ordered. I ordered a 2-​layer cake for 15 people. It was huge and it was actually 4– layers. The customer service is wonderful and the ladies there go out of their way to make sure that you receive your «vision» for your order. The atmosphere is calming and inviting if you want to sit and savor your cupcake in house.

An adorable boutqiue-​like cupcake shop. It is so nicely decorated, that it makes you feel like a doll walking in there. The staff was very friendly, engaging and had a positive disposition… all a plus for this lovely little shop.
The cupcakes themselves are pretty average in size, but so adorably decorated.
The cons is that I find the cupcakes overpriced and when you’re wanting specific ones for the future it’s hard for them to know if they will have it available on the day you want it.
Still worth checking out, even if you just want to grab a cupcake to go :-)

Ordered a Birthday Cake that was to serve 10 people for a 16 year olds birthday. What we got was a toddler cake the size you let your 1 year olds play with on their first birthday. It was a soft pink with white icing. When I asked why it was so small, I was told the serving size was 1 inch by 1 inch? Fooled once, sorry, lost my business!!!

I’m visiting here from California and we came here because we heard great reviews. Well, I’m sorry, but these cupcakes were terrible. We purchased a dozen in varied flavors. They were decorated very nicely, but looks are deceiving. After dinner we all had one and they were extremely dry with no taste whatsoever. The frosting were ok, but the cakes themselves were heavy and dry. And for a price of $ 42.00 per dozen, I expected heavenly taste. Sorry, but make sure you have lots to drink when eating these.

I just ordered a dozen cupcakes for my friends birthday. When I called I was looking for a chocolate cupcake. And the woman I spoke with suggested a chocolate cake with a salted caramel filling and a cream cheese frosting. Let’s not forget the caramel drizzle on top. Literally the best cupcake I’ve ever had. The most moist ever. The cake was soked with caramel. Everyone loved them!!! I was so impressed!

I am really surprised by the negative reviews. I like Eva’s cupcakes more than other shops in town. Every time I have been there I have received fresh and moist cupcakes, even towards the end of the day. My husband loves the sweet potato cupcakes (I know it sounds weird, but seriously give it a shot!) and my favorite is the hummingbird cake. I also like the Elvis, the strawberry, the carrot, and the snickers cupcakes! The reason why I have given them 4 stars is because the pricing. $ 4 for 1 average sized cupcake is really quite steep. I usually get the 4 pack for $ 15, but that’s only saving you $ 1. Not really a deal, in my opinion, but I like the cupcakes so I’ll pay it every few months when I get a sweet tooth. Another reason is because I can’t say I’ve had that positive upbeat customer service I kind of expect from a fun place like a cupcake shop. No one has ever been rude or unpleasant, but it’s just not as happy as I like to see. I would like to see the attitudes match the cute pink walls and yummy cupcakes. I would like to have someone pop out with a big smile and a genuine «how are you doing today?»

We have driven across town a few times to grab cupcakes. Have always had pleasant interactions with the staff, particularly Eva. I have tried all three gluten free flavors (carrot, choc, and vanilla) and the carrot cake was the best! They are very liberal with the frosting, I often have to remove some, but a lot is better then not enough. The only thing I wish is that the GF were at room temp, they always seem cold when I get them, but that is just a personal preference. The gf doesn’t taste any different to me then normal cupcakes, the texture is dead on. Give them a try! He rest of my family has enjoyed all the other flavors they have tried as well.

Eva’s Cupcakery exceeded and continue to exceeds my expectations for cakes and cupcakes. Customer service, presentation, taste, quality, and price are all factors in my expectation. I continue to return for birthday cakes/​cupcakes, anniversaries, retirements, babyshowers, and office events.
I strongly disagree with the negative reviews below and must say I, like Jesslyn E. am quite surprised. I have lived and/​or traveled to all the big cities (Chicago, Atlanta, LA, NYC, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Boston) with designer cupcake locations (Sprinkles, Crave, Gigi, and etc) and Eva’s is right up there with them with the best of them. Eva’s Cupcakery will be one of the very few things that I will miss when I Ieave Alaska.
Keep up the great job Eva and Team!

I’m surprised with some of the negative reviews. I have been here several times and have always been pleased. The cakes are always very fresh and moist and the icing is never too sweet like some others!
The family loves going here when we are in town. Favorites are the sour cream pound cake and cherry almond

We got 2 Nutella, a pink lemonade, and a spiced carrot cake. All were dry. Frosting on the carrot cake was good. The Nutella ones were like regular chocolate cupcakes. No one in our group finished their cupcakes…

When I visit a bakery or restaurant the first thing I do is inspect for cleanliness. Eva’s CupCakery was neat and well kept with no standing dust on the counters or glass. The one bakery staff member (I assume is Eva) greeted me the minute I opened the door. I asked if she had any Gluten Free cupcakes and she did. I bought two GF cupcakes and one regular chocolate peanut butter cupcake. When it came time to pay, I handed her my USAA Debit card. She looked at the card and asked if I was in the military. I said yes and pulled out my CAC for her to see. Being able to recognize the connection of USAA and the military is a plus for me. Not many people take the time to do that and just swipe away. She gave me a discount and instead of just leaving the cupcakes on the counter for me to take, she walks around the counter and personally handed me, my cupcakes. I was very humbled by her meaningful gestures and felt like giving her a hug.
The cupcakes were delicious, however, the frosting was like eating a sweet little heaven. :)

Our group purchased 4 cupcakes: cookies & cream, pink lemonade, red velvet, and sour cream. The red velvet one was excellent, but the other three ranged from average to terrible. I think very few people buy cupcakes here (there was no one else in the place the entire time we were present), and so the baked goods tend to be old and dried out. One of our cupcakes was so old, its cake was the consistency of a crisp cracker where it wasn’t covered by frosting.
I cannot recommend spending $ 4 on a dried out hunk of cupcake.
If you get lucky and get a semi-​fresh one, they are pretty tasty.

630pm is not 7pm. Closed early and shut sign off in our faces. Never again.

This lovely place is everything a cupcake shop should be. Warm and welcoming, a displayed variety of flavors and, most importantly, delicious cupcakes! On the day I visited, I snagged a German chocolate (awesome icing), pumpkin (moist and light), sweet potato (wonderful!) and chocolate with raspberry filling that was Heaven.
I want to say the chocolate cake was my favorite for being so rich and moist but I think I have to praise the cream cheese icing the most: it was the lightest and fluffiest I’ve ever had and I’ve had my share, people. Absolutely melts in your mouth! But then the German chocolate was kind of amazing too…
If there was one tiny drawback, it would be, of course, the price. At $ 4 a pop for a normal sized cupcake (that price in a NYC cupcake shop will give you a «cup» the size of your face), it’s not a cheap thing. But cupcakes are, and have always been since their emergence as a boutique dessert, a small, handheld decadence. So the prices are comparable to other cupcake shops in Anchorage and I’m willing to pay for a specialty dessert I can’t find at Carrs or Fred Meyer.
Definitely a keeper!
