Cupcake Station

I love coming here for delicious fresh baked cupcakes! The staff is always friendly. I highly recommend the red velvet cupcakes.

Went together with my family, Cupcakes tasted ok but looked amazing. Tasted cold for a cold day as they are refrigerated. Kind of odd that warm water is not available, though they sell tea

I had the snickers cupcake. It was decadent and tasted like a freshly made candy bar with fluffy nougat and moist cake. My only complaint would be that it fell apart rather quickly and was a bit messy… but so worth it. Service was fast and courteous. I would definitely return.

I ordered some of the cupcakes shipped to SF, CA with the hard coating. Wasn’t a big fan of it, the hard coating whether it was chocolate or lemon or pumpkin, was really bland and waxy tasting. The inside cake was ok, but not anything I can’t get at Safeway. Maybe it’s the shipping out of state, but didn’t really like these. –J

Best cupcakes. So moist and delicious! I tried the coconut blitz and key lime, my friend got the dreamsicle and strawberry delight, my daughter got the coconut blitz and strawberry lemonade and we all were very pleased. Looks like you can try every one and not be dissapointed, especially since they offer tiny cupcakes.

The Cupcake Station offers both mini and full sized cupcakes in a variety of flavors from the classic to the the more creative flavors. They also have two vegan, but in basic flavors. A couple friends and I shared a few flavors: salted caramel chocolate, key lime, chocolate cheesecake and the tropical special. The cake was far from dry and the frosting was light, whipped and not too sugary. Each was consistently delicious.

Cupcake was dry and tasted artificial. Ive had better from a cake mix. Waste of time… Surprised this placed survived after the cupcake fad has faded. Won’t be surprised if it doesnt last much longer. Yummy down the street is much better.

Very friendly service. Visited at around 8pm, and they gave us the last mini cupcake of the type we got the last normal cupcake for me. The chocolate coconut cream was beautiful. The coconut cream was a bit difficult to eat because there was so much of it, and it was very sweet, so it overwhelmed the cupcake a little. I’m not a big frosting person. The cupcake itself was good– very dark and moist chocolate that was not too sweet at all to balance out the cream. With that fluffiness and dark color, I’m guessing a lot of baking soda was involved. It was very light though, and I felt the frosting outweighed the cake. The coconut flakes and cream look nice, but I would have preferred a lighter texture and less sweet taste. Overall quite good.

Best cupcakes. My favorite is Banana Pudding, it’s utterly perfect. You can save money by purchasing a six pack of the day old cupcakes. Just as good, I bring them home for kids and they love it.

They are open until 9 pm and the ladies there are great and helps u with a few select choices if you get stuck

love the birmingham location and downtown rochester location just baked will never compare to cupcake station!

I practically loitered outside the doors of the Ferndale shop, awaiting the moment when a favourite flavour made its appearance (Dreamsicle, I’m looking at you). Cupcake Station is my cupcake bakery of choice in the Woodward Corridor, a place to go for a pick-​me up treat or a special dessert celebrating a holiday of your choice. Who needs reasons to celebrate with a cupcake? Go make one up.
Cupcake Station excels in a varied menu. Offerings include old standbys like salted caramel, peanut butter, and chocolate fudge with buttercream frosting. Their seasonal offerings are far more interesting, like the key lime on a soft white cake base or the decadent strawberry, complete with a bit of fruity gel goodness in the centre. Dreamsicle only comes out for Dream Cruise, a sweet orange creamsicle that spells the start of summer on me. Their cupcakes are large but not overly heavy and lack the intense, sickening sweetness I’ve found elsewhere. My husband usually wants to eat the cupcake part, and I would be happier licking off the frosting and toppings. If this is similar for you and your sharing partner, go for a Samoa to keep everyone happy. The cupcakes are moist and flavourful, almost always satisfying.
Prices aren’t cheap: $ 3.75 per cupcake is the going rate, with minis closer to $ 2 for a sampler of a bite. Discounts apply to multiples, and they are festively packaged. I prefer to splurge on a few small cupcakes to stretch out over teatime or a meal. For special events, they offer a vast variety of choices and options to suit your needs.
For me, one cupcake to split is perfectly fine. Savour that baby: you paid for it.

These guys have some of the best cupcakes.
The have a fun menu and do all sorts of nifty specials during the week. Deals on regular and mini sizes, an extra shot of frosting, yum!!, local give back fundraising stuff.
Good people with good tasty treats.
As a side note my BFF had them do her wedding and they had like 8 or 10 varieties — omg! Who wants to eat fruit or healthy when you are staring at a 10 ft tall cupcake tower of deliciousness?
Give them a try if you’re in downtown b’ham

It behooves me to give you this analogy, but you honestly haven’t experienced such a wholesome treat since fermenting the lactose from your mom’s teet.
The cupcake boom of ’04 brought a many contenders nationwide. From NY to SF & from Mexico to the land secondarily known the 51^st State of America, cupcake bakeries stormed upon us from the heavens. So much so that we began drowning at every crossroad in delicate buttercream frosting. We eventually cleaned up and tore down all the shops baking mediocracy, only allowing greatness to survive in ’09. cupcake station definitely being one of them
Pink Cake Box in Denville, NJ is marginally more tasty, and exponentially better in presentation. But Cupcake station, you are truly here and here to stay. Shut up and take my money!!!

How can you not like cupcakes? Cupcake Station has something like 30 or 40 different varieties. I can’t really describe all of them but I’d say give them a call or look at the pictures. They also have vegan options which were not bad but I think some of the other choices (like the lemon and carrot cake) have more flavor to them
The first time we went the staff was nice enough to inform of us of a special. The staff at this location generally is pretty friendly. We have also met with some staff members who seemed indifferent though.
We’ve gotten a dozen cupcakes for a few special events and guests often thought it was better than getting a full cake. It’s very expensive (too expensive) at around $ 2-​$ 3 per cupcake but if you see some type of special go for it. Otherwise we just get a few at a time and enjoy them in small amounts.

I’ve tried just about every cupcake bakery in metro Detroit and the Cupcake station is my favorite. Their cupcakes are always moist, which is a must! They have exciting flavors and their frosting is not overly sweet. They have good week day specials as well. My favorite is the pumpkin cupcake with maple cream cheese frosting and their Samoa cupcake is super yummy.

They are open late (which is rare for a bakery), they have a great selection of cupcakes to chose from (usually along with a daily pupcake for your dog), and they have sizes ranging from mini, regular to jumbo. While the chocolate selections look great, they are nothing compared to their non-​chocolate companions. Some of my favorites include the vanilla latte (subtle flavor, but great if you like coffee flavored things), coconut, carrot cake, and pineapple (chunks of pineapple are in the cake along with a brown sugar icing). I cannot walk past one without getting something. I have tried other cupcake places in the area and the Cupcake Station is by far my favorite.

Let’s break this down…
Price: a bit on the high side but the cupcakes are large
Service: standard
Cup cake: super moist but lacking in flavor, good variety, nice large size
Frosting: not sweet enough, texture is good, needs more intense flavors
Bottom line: This would not be a destination place for me to buy cup cakes. More like a place I’d visit if I had a terrible cup cake craving and Love Buttercream in Royal Oak wasn’t open.

Two words: Samoa Cupcake!
That should be enough, but I should explain myself.
When I was in this cute area of Michigan, I was craving something sweet. When I walked into Cupcake Station, I walked out with half a dozen cupcakes.
What I liked the most about the cupcakes was that they were light and not super sweet.
The Samoa cupcake looked super sweet, but I loved how the cake balanced out the sweetness of the toppings. It tasted exactly like the Girl Scout Samoa cookies that I loved. My second favorite was the Party Time cupcake. Simple, yet really yummy.
I wasn’t able to try their red velvet (boo!). They ran out. It’s probably a popular one too.

They’re not all-​natural home-​made cupcakes. Is it too much to ask for a local gourmet cupcakery to be ALL natural, ALL homemade, and from scratch? Just Baked uses Pillsbury mix, this place uses Sweetex for their frosting. It’s just… Annoying.
If you aren’t a picky snob, this place is fine. If you really are kind of a food hipster (and I guess this means I kind of am), skip and find one of the other places in town that uses all natural ingredients.
/​edit:
In response to the owner’s concerns about my review:
I don’t hold with the «we have no choice but to use artificial stabilizers in our frosting!» stance. Gasp, what did we do before cheap stabilizers and other artificial ingredients!?!
Since you asked: Pinwheel in Ferndale, for one, uses all-​natural ingredients. There are others.
I’m not saying the cupcakes are bad; I’m saying that discerning consumers should be fully informed about what is going into their cupcakes.
Their own website says, «100% from scratch». It also says «We use the freshest and most natural ingredients we can find.».
I understand the need for artificial, commercial, bulk stabilizers: This place is a franchise, they need to roll out lots of ingredients in a consistent and inexpensive manner. I get it.
I’m just saying: Be honest. It’s not all natural.
