Midnite Confection’s Cupcakery

The black velvet cupcake is seriously AMAZING. I’ve never had something so good. The Playboy is delicious as well. There are many more flavors I need to try! The cake itself is extremely moist and the icing is just the right amount of sweetness and very creamy.

Definitely the best cupcakes in Baltimore — the salted caramel was amazing and their icing is so so delicious — love midnite!

Two star rating because there was nothing on Unilocal about the fact this location was moving. I showed up at the store front and got nothing out of it. It did not help I had to drive around the building 3 times to find it and the signage was very week. I hope they find a new better location soon as the small poster said on the door.
Good luck.

So I’ve tried almost all of this bakery’s mainstays like the Full Moon (vanilla bean), Playboy (carrot cake) and the Sublimenal (lime). They’re ALL freakin’ delicious. Moist and tasty with just the right amount of buttercream icing. Can’t recommend this bakery enough! The staff is always genuinely friendly and the atmosphere is more like a day spa than a bakery. What’s not to love? My only request is that they offer a loyalty card.

I thought for sure I rated this place… this is by far thee best cupcakery in MD! I have tried just about everything, but my favorite is the vanilla! The owners are so nice, and the value is more than worth it! If you haven’t been, run there!

Midnite Confection’s Cupcakery is owned by Sandra and Aaron, a mother-​and-​son team! They offer a wonderful variety of cupcakes, such as Black Velvet, Full Moon, Eclipse, seasonal offerings, and even alcohol-​focused ones (like the Mojito, Coffee and Cream, and Pina Colada). I tried the Strange Love (which was the Cherry Almond; this was so yummy, as it was a cherry almond cake, topped with a dried cherry; yum!); a Sinnabon (cinnamon roll-​focused, but I kind of only tasted cinnamon and nothing else); Sublime-​inal (a lemon cupcake topped with lime buttercream frosting; this was okay, but more on the sweeter side and more lemon-​like), and Midnite (chocolate chip cream cheese tucked inside a chocolate cupcake, topped with chocolate buttercream frosting; this was true decadence and definitely for chocolate lovers!). The buttercream frosting is thick, but still light, but it is definitely on the more sweeter side, and the cake is more dense (which I’m a fan of). I’d love to check out more of their seasonal and other flavors, as this cupcakery seem to be more creative! Service was super friendly, and I loved how the available cupcakes were displayed in a jewelry case. The wall mural was also pretty cute (shooting ‘cupcakes’ (as in, ‘shooting stars’)) :D

These are the BEST cupcakes!!! My husband brought home 6 different kinds and they were all delicious. I have tried so many cupcakes from so many places and these are the tastiest cupcakes. They test fresh and moist. The Cinnabon cupcake had cinnamon inside and was fabulous. The chocolate ones were delicious as well. I didn’t even have a favorite because they were all so delicious. Even the day after they were great. We started with 6 and only had one left. We couldn’t stop eating them.

Delicious cupcakes great flavor and texture. Perfect little spot to get a dessert when out on a date!

I don’t like to rely on superlatives, but these were the BEST cupcakes I’ve ever tasted. Midnite, playboy, and full moon were all outstanding. Buttery, moist, divine. The frosting was just as rich and flavorful as the cake. And the lady and gentleman running the shop were sweet enough to give us some of their homemade coffee to wash down the cupcakes. My only advice to them: showcase your cupcakes in your storefront window to draw more customers in.

Absolutely fantastic cupcakes. Wonderful variety to choose from and very reasonably priced. A must do whether you’re a local or visiting Charm City.

If you like cupcakes then look no further because this is the place for you.
The taste and quality of these cupcakes is second to none. I have not had a better tasting cupcake from another location as of yet. This place knows their cupcakes.
The service I have gotten from this place is also top notch. The people working were very helpful in answering any questions or concerns that I had and were very friendly. Also, the cupcakes are frosted to order. It makes the cupcakes that much better.
The atmosphere of this place is nothing too special. It is just a repurposed house it seems, but it is nice a quaint. It is also very clean and open.
With selection there is always a number of cupcakes you can choose from. I believe there are 6 that they always have in stock, but also they have speciality ones for that day. They have a calendar you can pick up that will show you which speciality cupcakes are for that day for the month.
Now price is where it falls a little short. Considering the quality of ingredients and service you get, it is not for the faint of heart. The cupcakes cost $ 3.25 a piece. Is it worth it? The answer is easily yes. They are that good.
Overall, I can easily recommend this place to any dessert or cupcake lover.

Let me first start off by saying «Wow!» This place truly deserves the high ratings it has on Unilocal!These cupcakes changed my life long stance that cupcakes just weren’t my thing. Their cupcakes are SO moist and flavorful! They’re sweet, but not too sweet… the perfect balance. The frosting on the cupcakes are also so light & soft, they’re not hard/​stiff & heavy like the ones from supermarkets’ bakeries and prepackaged frosting. I came here after checking Unilocal & I was not disappointed at all. You **MUST** try this place out, plus supporting a local family business is always great too.
I’ll keep it short & tell you that if you go in on a day when they offer «tiramisu» cupcakes as one of the three specials that day, you are one lucky goose! Their tiramisu cupcakes are absolutely divine!!! I also tried their other special flavor of the day, which was «sinnabun» (their take on cinnamon bun) and let me tell you, it was scary how much I enjoyed it. Other flavors I’ve tried are: «cookies & cream», «sublimeinal» (lime flavor), «birthday cake», & «black velvet». I never thought I would enjoy cupcakes, but I am so glad ‘Midnight Confection’s Cupcakery’ changed my mind!
I ended up talking with the guy at the front, and he was telling me how his brother & mother owned the business and made the cupcakes from family recipes. I actually got to meet his brother who was piping my cupcakes. They’re both really friendly people!
Reminder: You must try the tiramisu cupcake!!!

I tried the Midnite and Playboy cupcakes! Both were really delicious. Midnite was a chocolate cupcake with cream cheese inside with chocolate frosting. Playboy was carrot cake with white frosting. Both were absolutely yummy! I like how the frosting was not overpowering and the cakes were soft and moist, even hours later. Will come back again!

I work near 3 well-​known bakeries, and I will drive past all three and head straight to Midnite Confections when I need a good cupcake.
As soon as you open the door you are hit square in the face with that «bakery» smell You know the buttery sugary warm smell that screams «come forth we have what you need.»
Their cupcakes have unique but complimentary flavor combinations. I had the subliminal on my last visit. It had a distinct lime taste without being overpowering or overly sweet. I grabbed a black velvet for a coworker and watched him and his wife fight over and annihilate the poor cupcake. It was crazy! But a definite endorsement. Especially since he initially complain that he though he was getting red velvet.
The cupcakes themselves are light, warm, and moist. The frosting is light but flavorful without overpowering the flavor of the cake.
I definitely would recommend Midnite Cupcakery.

Sandra and the MCC family are absolutely amazing! As mentioned in my previous review we used them for our wedding and we couldnt be more pleased! We were told they arrived early to deliver the goodies and everything was perfectly in tact. Our guest said that after they sampled the first of the deliciousness that is Midnite Confection they went back for a second, and some a third. My wife and I are lucky we were able to get some cupcakes ourselves because out of approx. 120 + the top tier, we were left with less than a dozen but it was all worth it. We enjoy spreading the love of Midnite Confection’s Cupcakery and kudos to the blessed hands of the bakers back there whipping up the goodness. They are now officially our «go to» for any occassions we have that require something sweet and delicious. I dont think I have used the word «delicious» this much EVER lol. Thank you MCC!

Amazing customer service! Ms. Sandra and Aaron were so great at ensuring my order for my co-worker’s (obligatory) office bridal shower went off without a hitch.
Three dozen cupcakes were gone in a matter of minutes. Everyone (including the bride to be who is very particular about her cupcakes) loved every flavor — full moon, midnite, fuzzy navel, subliminal, salted caramel and the bourbon Madagascar (vanilla) cupcake! There were so many «you guys did a great job in the dessert selection!» type of compliments — I started to blush.
I’ve loved Midnite’s since I moved to Baltimore, but this occasion made me appreciate this cupcakery even more!!!

This bakery is amazing, but best of all is the people. They are so sweet and welcoming! My husband and I were looking for a wedding cake, and saw that they had great reviews on here ( Unilocal) so decided to go. We were not disappointed. The taste of the cake was amazing… and even now, almost three weeks later the taste is incredible. We ordered the Vanilla and the Black Velvet.
I love simplicity, and they truly know how make something simple taste so amazing. They have made us customers for life. We plan on using them for all our events.
Thank you Midnight Confection!

Ordered my daughters birthday cupcakes a month before her birthday. Via email. Responded quickly. I ordered a dozen cupcakes. 2 Birthday. 2 Carrot Cake Playboys. 2 Cookies n Cream. 1 Lemon. 1 Madagascar Vanilla. 1 Crème Brûlée. 2 Sinnabons & 1 Black Velvet. They all tasted amazing. Super moist. Great flavor and not overly sweet. Perfect. They were closed because they ran out of cupcakes. Perfect sign that they’re cupcakes are good. I’ll def be back. $ 37. Not bad at all. Very satisfied.

Not sure what the rave is all about. Baltimore doesn’t know what a good cupcake is supposed to taste like if this place is supposed to be amazing. We ordered almost all of the signature cupcakes (black velvet, eclipse, birthday cake, midnite and full moon) and they were all bland to be honest. The best if I had to pick one was the black velvet, the cream cheese frosting did it. But these cupcakes tasted like a cupcake you would purchase from grocery stores. Non of them had a distinct flavor pop, they were just so bland.
The place did smell good upon arrival. The cupcakes didn’t even really look appetizing behind the glass case. I’m from Cali, and LA and Orange County still has my vote for best cupcakeries. This place wouldn’t last there.
The owners seemed sweet, but me and my crew weren’t a fan at all. Hate to leave one star but it just didn’t meet my expectations.

Midnite is my go-​to cupcake place in the city! Every cupcake I’ve had has been amazing and I love how cute the shop is.
In my opinion, customer service can make a break an experience and my willingness to come back and visit your shop again. When I ordered two dozen cupcakes for a birthday party and went to pick them up I was surprised to find out that my order had been lost and they were not ready. Before I had time to panic the manager came out to speak with me. They let me pick a mixture of cupcakes and only charged me a fraction of what my total should have been. I was so appreciative that Midnite Confection’s handled the situation so well!
Make sure you try the Birthday Cake cupcake– it is super sweet but suuuuper delicious :)
