Sugar Queen Cupcakes

Apparently they’re getting bought out by new owners, because they called to cancel all pending orders today. One of those orders was for 300+ cupcakes for a wedding THIS SATURDAY for my sister. Now I’m frantically trying to contact them in order to get some kind of resolution here… Nobody is responding to my calls or emails. How on earth do you plan on keeping any of your future business by canceling all pending orders – especially one for a wedding with 300+ guests! Every vendor and wedding planner in the area talks to each other and will soon know NOT to do business with people like this. Canceling on a bride less than a week before her wedding when we 1) ordered them 5 months ago 2) already paid you in FULL and 3) JUST spoke with you 2 weeks ago… SHAME ON YOU.

Very nicely decorated store, friendly staff, great atmosphere. I can in planning to get only one cupcake, and left with 2 (I showed restraint not getting 6, it was difficult). The red velvet is a bit different than the standard model, with a buttercream frosting and no detectable cream cheese frosting, and pieces of red velvet cake sprinkled on top. Looks great, it much heavier than expected. Very moist cake, with an overly generous portion of frosting on top. The Salted Chocolate Caramel cupcake was also heavy, with as much buttercream frosting on top. I tasted some coffee flavor, which I didn’t care for but I could see it appealing to others. Overall a positive experience, although 1 cupcake is more than enough, and is probably enough to be shared. Just be aware of what you are getting in to.

First off, I love cupcakes. I have liked Lisa’s Sugar Queen Cupcakes since the beginning. Since the first store opened up in Willow bend. Now with that being said they need to work on their business communication. Once I got engaged I knew I wanted sugar queen to be my cupcake provider. I contacted Lisa– Via their website in December of 2013 I never heard back. I was needing to nail down a vendor and since I really liked their cupcakes I shot her another email on March 7^th, 2014 advising her that it takes almost 4 months to respond to an email and in the email I stated that I would be forced to find another vendor if I didn’t fear from her– 45 minutes later I got an email back. So I decided to proceed with booking her. We set up a time to meet her the next day at the Denton shop– She never showed up and called one of the ladies working to help us. Which we felt that was a little unprofessional. The wedding was in October so we paid for ½ of the order and let her know that we were not needing their display we had our own. I ended up calling the WEEK of my wedding to make sure we were a go. Which that just doesn’t make sense to me at all. When they showed up to deliver my cupcakes I was getting ready so I wasn’t able to watch them. There were stands on the table and I directed them that the cupcakes went over there. I go and look at it before the wedding started and the girl had removed the original set up and put up their setup, which I didn’t want. Whatever no big deal. Small bump in my plans and everything turned out fine. Flash forward to a week ago, I contacted Lisa on September 28^th to make a First anniversary wedding cake, via email and Facebook messenger. I let Lisa know that I was wanting to have a cake just like our wedding cake made for our anniversary. She wrote back promptly and said «Thanks for the email, we would love to make the cake and cupcakes– I am out of town until tomorrow night and away from my emails. If you would like you can send the order with information on here and I can send it directly to the stores. Or I can email you when I return Thank you again» I told her I would get my order to her today or tomorrow. I forgot about it on the 28^th. So I emailed and Facebook messaged her on Wednesday the 30^th in the morning, giving her my order and sent some pictures. Leaving my phone number and that I can make a payment over phone and that I was available for any location to pick up. The next day I messaged her on Facebook asking if she got my email– she writes back 6 hours later and said «I didn’t see it. Let me search for it again and Ill get back with you. Thanks for following up.» So I sent the exact email in Facebook messenger so she could get the ball rolling and we would be good to go. I never heard from her again. I will no longer be eating her cupcakes even though I like them– Actions speak louder than good cupcakes.

I’m not a big sweets person but wow this cupcake was awesome. I got the key lime, it was super moist — perfect hint of lime. I rarely like any kind of frosting but this was great. My daughter got what I think was called the sugar cookie cupcake. I tasted a small bite and it was also awesome. These are not your crappy, dry, little-​kid cupcakes. These are the real deal and taste like gourmet cake. I’ve been to other high dollar fancy cupcake shops and their cupcakes never impressed me like these did. For someone who doesn’t care that much for sweets, I’ll be back. Delicious!

Full disclosure — I admit, I am a cupcake & cake snob. I’m addicted to cake & cupcakes and I’m not happy with subpar cake.
I’ve tried many of their cupcakes. I’ve been disappointed each time. They are very moist, which is one of the few good things I can say about them. They are very pretty. Little girls would love the glittery cupcakes. Unfortunately they taste like a ‘doctored up’ cake mix cupcake. I always end up scraping the icing off because it’s just not pleasant. The employee who served me today literally just handed me my cupcake at the register and stared at me. She didn’t give me a total until she noticed that I wasn’t pulling out money without being given a total. It was so awkward. They also don’t sell drinks. I don’t know about everyone else, but I need a drink with my food.
There are much better cupcakes nearby. NV Cupcakes has awesome staff and yummy cupcakes. Crinkles & Co. cupcakes are delicious and definitely have a ‘made from scratch’ quality about them. Market Street (yes, the grocery store) actually has a really impressive bakery with absolutely amazing staff. Market Street’s icing is lighter and not waxy. Try the other places too, the nominated ‘best’ is sometimes just a popularity contest.

Love Sugar Queens Cupcakes. By far the best cupcakes around!!! I prefer them over sprinkles cupcakes!!!

I really liked their cupcakes, however everytime I come here I feel that there’s too limited amount of flavors. Only 6 were displayed. I feel like the store has the potential to be very cute but this is not met very much. I had one of their cupcakes and it was delicious. Very moist and the frosting was a perfect balance. Each cupcakes roughly $ 4. But they are pretty fairly sized.

This place was awesome! Came to visit my sister in Denton an stopped by here on a whim. We are big Sprinkles fans so we truly thought we’d be disappointed. It was the end of the day and also thought they might not taste fresh. We got 6 cupcakes to try different flavors… All were terrific. Very moist and flavorful. Very impressed!

Sugar Quern’s cupcakes are always so moist, light, and delicious! Baked to perfection, with icing on top! I make sure to get a few cupcakes there every time I’m in Denton.

They had a nice variety of cupcakes in our delicious flavor they are regular size cupcakes with an ample amount of icing. I enjoyed them and I will try them again.

Very yummy cupcakes. As another reviewer mentioned, they are on the sweet side of the dessert spectrum, but hey, they are cupcakes. I am in LOVE with their pineapple upside down cupcake. It is their ‘special’ cupcake on Tuesday and I would go every Tuesday if I didn’t have to worry about my wallet or my waistline!
I have tried a couple that I did not find very flavorful, but those were my husband’s favorite flavors, so be prepared that there may be some you like and some you don’t. Make sure the first time you go you try a couple different flavors!

Be sure you have a fork and napkins to eat. The icing piles are as high as an elephant’s eye. But they are delicious. If you need that ice cream taste and sugar fix but don’t want a brain freeze, go here.

Not going to lie… I’m addicted to this place. I buy cupcakes for my staff all the time! Not just because I love them (though I really really do!), but also because I am a selfish and I want a cupcake (s) from Sugar Queen. They are ah-​mazing!
Beware… They are EXTREMELY sweet. I don’t see any problem in a super sweet delicious cupcake, but that’s me. There are like a gazillion flavors to choose from, and they introduce a lot of fun ones over the weekend. Today, I tried a Bourbon Pecan Pie (yummmmm). My husband’s favorite is the Pancakes and Bacon cupcake (also delicious!).
A very generous pile of heaven in the form of buttercream or cream cheese icing tops all of the little cakes. And wow! Just give me a spoon!!! I could eat a bowl of that stuff, no regrets! Ok, maybe a little bit of regret. But seriously, just try it and you’ll know what I’m talking about!
Even better, the cake is sooooo good too! The flavor in the cake alone is incredible. Sugar Queen Vanilla is probably my favorite. The cake has a hint of almond flavor that Betty Crocker will just never understand. Almost all of the cupcakes are topped off with some little cute garnish like sprinkles, a ladyfinger, a piece of sopapilla, or a small candy making them ready for an Instagram photo op (oh come on, you know you do it)!
Ok, now that you and I are on the same page and you understand that you HAVE to try one of these cupcakes… Here are the details: the cupcakes are made at another location and brought in fresh every morning. They are $ 2.99 each. Buy 5, get 1 free. Grab one of their stamp cards and earn a stamp each time you buy a half dozen. Free half dozen after 9 stamps! I know I know… These little treats aren’t cheap. But believe me when I say, it’s worth it to go and buy one. I’ve gotten a handle on my addiction because, well, money. And I’ve been seeing deals posted on Groupon. Woohoo!
The shop in Denton is right next door to a Starbucks. So sometimes, I grab my cupcake and sit in Starbucks with a nice hot cup of coffee while I’m studying.
So go! Try one or six! Go check Groupon for some deals :-)

Went in with a groupon for 6 cupcakes and was refused service because you have to order 3 days in advance. There were plenty of cupcakes and even with upset kids in tow was refused service and told if would have to order them for Monday. Will never go back. Absolutely ridiculous!!!

The official cupcake of Texas? Who was the competition? Walmart?
These cupcakes aren’t horrible. But they aren’t great either.
As a Pastry Chef who is absolutely obsessed with cupcakes, I had to try these since they were so highly talked about. Let’s just say I’m pretty disappointed.
I tried the Vanilla, Snicker-​doodle, and Red Velvet.
Red Velvet is my all time favorite cake flavor. And this cupcake was nothing close to a slightly chocolatey buttermilk cake with cream cheese frosting like true Red Velvet should be. All the flavors tasted the same. The frosting while light and fluffy had way too much shortening in it which gave it that weird waxy mouth feel.
I really wanted to like these cupcakes. But they just aren’t up to par.

Not good. Have had better from an Easy Bake oven.
Icing was gritty and too sweet, cake was dry and bland… Could have come from a mix and might have even been better.
The employee working seemed bored and disinterested, the atmosphere was dry and tasteless (seriously, would it kill you to get an iPod Dock and have some music going?).
Would not return… The market is way too competitive for mediocre.

I had avoided the cupcake boutique trend for quite awhile and finally caved. After perusing various reviews for local shops, I decided to stop by Sugar Queen for some baked goods. Ten dollars later I left with three cupcakes — Sopapilla, Birthday Cake, and Cream Cheese Lime.
Pros: not to sweet, not too small, quality ingredients
Cons: not the most upbeat staff, a bit pricey, cakes were slightly too dense for my liking
Overall, I can’t rave or rant about this place at all. In the event I feel like widening my ass for a pretty penny, I’ll go back. But in the meantime, I’ll stick the Betty Crocker box mix and call it a day.

These are very tasty, fluffy and sweet cupcakes. I’ve tried nearly all the flavors except the vanilla and key lime. I love key lime but have a harder time tearing myself away from the taunts of caramel and chocolate. And who has time for vanilla?
They are a little steep at $ 3 each but they’re also pretty big. Honestly, given their sweetness I would be ok with them being a little smaller and cheaper. Right now I usually split each one with my mom and that’s enough for me!
The flavors aren’t anything daring (chocolate chocolate chip, red velvet, chocolate caramel… peanut butter and jelly looks to be the most adventurous) but each time I have gone, the quality has been very consistent and delicious. Nice people, cute space.
I’m also glad to see a cute place like this inside the Rayzor Ranch (it’s next to Starbucks), a place that is otherwise so overrun with shopping mediocrity and eateries that belong in a mall food court. They are a little pink beam of originality in this depressing and uninspiring center.

Okay this place was something different for me to try because while driving around I saw this and was like hmm cupcakes?
I saw a segment on Food network where they were discussing cupcakes and sort so seeing this cupcake shop encouraged me to tried some!
The shop is VERY clean and presentable, not too much, not too less. This goes for both exterior and interior, the pink/​gray color layout matches perfectly with the store.
Customer service is good and whatever they recommend is always the best!
Fellas, I’m going to give a new incentive when dating these beautiful women, be a little different and try not to go for the same cliché dinner/​movie thing. Sometimes you guys probably already had a good meal before the date, so why not go out on a dessert date? Sugar Queen is the perfect place!
When it comes to the food I love how they are laid out and easy for even the shortest person to see. My top three flavors are, 1.) Cookies and Cream cupcake with cream cheese frosting 2.) Red Velvet 3.) Banana Pudding
The texture of each cupcake is PERFECT and I love the cookies and cream because it’s not too powerful, has a chewy taste to it, and the base bottom is actually a cookie!
However since this a restaurant that specializes it will be a little pricey for the uniqueness of these cupcakes. I’ve haven’t bought more than six at time yet, but I usually pay close to three dollars for each cupcake. The cupcakes are fairly large and eating just one almost filled me up even on a half empty stomach.
Overall this place is great!!!
TRY IT OUT!

Didn’t think my update would be this fast. Yeah, tried several others including the pancakes&bacon, sopapilla, german chocolate and banana split… damn are they good!
I have a chocolate covered cherry and a pb and chocolate one waiting for me and my daughter at home… Go there. That is all.
