Mr Cupcakes

Wish I checked reviews first. My cupcakes were cold — leading me to believe they were not baked fresh, and they didn’t taste fresh either. Not horrible, but will I return? No.

Did not live up to the positive reviews. Sorry. The cupcakes were just ok.
And, the guy behind the counter (the owner??) seemed annoyed that I asked questions and was having a tough time deciding what to order. There are a lot of options and the names don’t necessarily describe the ingredients.
Will give it another try on another day.

*sigh* It’s so hard to find a decent cupcake these days.
The chocolate cake belonging to Salted Caramel cupcake was a bit parched, while the Vivas Las Leches was overly moist, and the last, Tiramisu, was somewhere in between. It was certainly very odd, this disappointing range of inconsistency.
Goldilocks would be DAMN pissed if she came here.
Their thick-​as-​cement frosting taste like they came from a can of Duncan Hines.
A taste of nana’s homemade, these were not. Rather, I view them as quality befitted only for commercial mass-​production. (Think the Hostess company.) Now, that’s not to say that they wouldn’t be good enough for passing off as your own at a bake sale, or rewarding a kid for doing their homework — they do at least look presentable — but from one adult to another, I think we deserve something better for our aged palates, as well as dinero.
And… adorable as you are, being an impressively-​balanced mascot on them twiggy legs, Mr. Cupcake — you will not fool me again into buying your mediocre goods.
Never trust a dessert who happens to wears a pinstripe suit!

Ugh! I Purchased a variety of cupcakes, the icing tasted like thick sugar butter. If you can imagine taking 3 sticks of butter and blending it with 1 pound of sugar mixed in with some type of chemical aftertaste, not sure of the chemical though, you would have Mr. Cupcake frosting on 1 cupcake. My 6 year old threw it out after 2 bites. Yes, a 6 year old threw out a cupcake. I felt sick for the day after eating mine. My wife barely took a bite of hers.
This place can’t stay open for more than a year from now.
Also, I was told one of the 5 star reviews is from the owner, a little bit of self promotion, a little bit pathetic in my book if it’s true. Earn your reviews. Word will get out either way…

I really hate to do this, but Mr. Cupcakes hasn’t been the same lately. This location has become really inconsistent. Some days the cupcakes are fantastic and others they can be awful. I’ve had them over baked and with frosting that is as thick as butter. I’m about to switch back to the Clifton location to see if the cupcake quality has suffered there as well. I really should give two stars but the PB&J cupcake is still my favorite even when it isn’t great.

Dear Mr. Cupcakes,
We had high hopes for you. With your assorted amount of flavors, there is no way we can be let down. Unfortunately you disappointed us. I remember it clearly. It was Fat Tuesday (or in my book, everyday) and we wanted to end our gluttonous day with some of your tasty treats. I ordered (to be devoured later in the evening) the following:
Oreo Cheesecake — a couple of Oreo crumbs and an icing that needed more flavor… the chocolate cupcake itself was not fresh or moist. Boohoo.
French Toast — icing was a disappointment again. The cinnamon was great but the actual icing was blah. The cupcake was moist as it should be… tasted like a coffee cake. Yum-​ee
PB&J — A tease of a cupcake. Yes the jelly was a bit of drizzle… more like a drop… and the peanut butter icing lacked the PB flavor… maybe go with real PB next time… The cupcake was meh. Once again not moist enough. They said the PBJ was baked inside but we couldn’t taste it.
Snowball Fight — I see your attempt at imitating the delicious sno-​balls you can purchase by hostess. You failed once again. The yellow cake was ok. The shreds of coconut on top were great but the icing was a let down. You lost this fight snowball.
You charge 1.75 for each cupcake which is not terrible. I would be willing to pay more if the quality was there. Your staff was a delight. Kudos to you on hiring good people.
In conclusion, your cupcakes need a lot of work, your prices are decent and your staff are great. Best of luck in such a competitive market.

Purchased a variety of cupcakes; some were good, some were not cooked all the way through. Shop refused to honor a voucher I had purchased through Amazon, claiming it was expired, even though the date on the voucher said otherwise. They finally gave me a couple of extra cupcakes after a protracted argument. I won’t be going back.

Updated July 2013. Something has gone wrong in the land of Mr. Cupcake! The last few cupcake purchases were off, the icing off and the cake off. Don’t know what happened but I guess they have attempted to cut costs or something. All my standard favorites now disappointing and I seek a new cupcake roost. Knocking stars from 3 to 2.

The cupcakes here for the most part are really good i ordered a tearaway cake for my son’s birthday and the cupcakes were the wrong flavor. When i wrote to express the disappointment the owner called me and tikd me he’d figure out what happened. After a few rounds of phone tag, he stipped callung me back. Im not sure I’d order from here again.

Cupcakes greatness is subjective however I am not a fan of this place. I forgot I had tried them when they were in Red Bank and stopped the other day for some cupcakes for the family. They are not for me.
The birthday cake cupcake was nice and moist but the icing was horrible. It was like eating a stick of butter with not much good taste. My 4 year old daughter didn’t even want to finish it!
I like chocolate cake with vanilla icing which they didn’t have other than the chocolate chip smoothie but the icing was a hard shell and also not very good. The cake was also a little dry.
My husband had the peanut butterful chocolate and liked it. The icing was a little better maybe because it had peanut butter it didn’t taste like a stick of butter like the other.
I also got the big papa crumb cupcake which was really just crumb cake. The crumbs were great but the cake was a little dry.
Overall the cakes themselves were pretty good most of them moist but the icings were horrible. And for me the icing really makes the cupcake. So I won’t be going back.

I had a birthday cake cupcake and it was disgusting. The icing was very thick and solid like actual butter. Which I know, is what frosting is made out of, but I think a good frosting is whipped and light and you don’t realize (or you can forget) you’re eating butter.

Mr. Cupcakes has a few other locations, but this is the first one I have been to. Johnny has done many, MANY charity events where I have been able to sample some of his most popular flavors, such as Red Velvet, Chocolate Sundae, and French Toast.
Located in a beautiful, downtown area of Chatham, this particular bakery is quaint, clean and welcoming. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the choices are incredible and hard to choose from.
I have to say, being a die-​hard chocolate lover, the Triple Chocolate Cupcake was my absolute favorite, but you will never be disappointed with any of the flavors-​and I have tried almost all of them!
Overall, you will get total cupcake perfection from Mr. Cupcakes-​all the time, every time! He even does party platters! You must check him out!

Although I’ve never been to this place’s physical location, my parents have been repping them HARD since they opened. I was at my parents’ spot in C-​Town for Mother’s Day, and had the pleasure of trying several of Mr’s cupcakes. The red velvet was very, very, very good. The lemon drop was top notch (although it had a tad too much frosting). The some-​sort-​of-​berry cheesecake was great. The real knockout though, was the french toast cupcake. I’ve been to Magnolia, and many other legendary cupcake spots in NYC. As of right now, I’m comfortable saying that Mr Cupcakes’ french toast cupcake is, if not the best, definitely in the Top 3 cupcakes that I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. Not to mention, they only charge $ 1.50 per cupcake. This place has great cupcakes, and is ridiculously cheap. Try them out!!!

Mr. Cupcakes has 3 other locations. I used to live near the Clifton location and moved away 3 years ago. So when I saw a sign that they were «Coming Soon» and while on my daily walk I noticed the were finally opened!
I bought a box of 4 cupcakes that day and have been going every other day since.
Have to say, it’s my #3 favorite cupcake and the fact that they have a Morris County location is fantastic. The fact that it’s walking distance from my house is dangerous.
My favorite is the Southern Red Velvet and Chocolate Chip Smoothie. The Southern Red Velvet is how red velvet should be, chocolate based not simply red dye. So good. I really like that the cupcakes are moist and flavorful.
It’s a very small location but they still have a lot of selection.
And of course the price is perfect. My other two favorite cupcake spots charge much more. At $ 1.50 Mr Cupcake allows me to get a wide variety. They of course also have jumbo and mini cupcakes.
Staff is very nice and they are still getting some things together such as window decorations.
I am taking my friends here and I do suggest it highly. A great addition to Main St. Chatham. I wish it well. So long as they keep their cupcakes tasty I see no issue.
I hope you like it as much as I do.

I loved this place when they opened but they have gone downhill seriously from their opening. It’s not the staff — they are nice.
It’s the cupcakes. They are gross and have a chemical taste now whereas when I first went there they were really good.
Thumbs down.
Keep it moving if you really love cupcakes.
