Dimples Cupcakes

I’m really torn on this one because we’ve been coming here for years but customer service & integrity trump all. Hence, the 2 stars.
Yes, the cupcakes are good but they are still priced at the same $ 8 per that they were when under original ownership. They were worth the $$ then because they were huge and delicious. And the customer service was good. Fast forward to the present: Much smaller cupcake, poor service, same price.
On our last trip in, we were not given plates because it was less than 10 minutes before closing. Apparently this is a policy. (This is exactly what we were told when we asked why the patrons ahead of us got plates.)
It took us 5 minutes to eat (off napkins) and the whole time the teenage staffers were trying to get us to leave. Sweeping around us, mentioning that the door was locked, etc. Point made. We won’t return.
Made a great impression on the out of town relatives that we brought in.

After finding out that the coffee shop near Frisco Square was closed on a Sunday (seriously!!!) we stopped by Dimples Cupcakes in search of coffee and it was a great excuse to purchase a cupcake. I LOVE cupcakes as I believe they are personal-​sized morsels of happiness.
We stopped in, the shop was cute with a nice display of cupcakes. I like to try the most simple first and figured I couldn’t go wrong with «Wedding Cake». I envisioned something simple but sophisticated in flavor.
Cake mix. I just purchased a $ 4 vanilla cake mix cupcake with some fancy frosting work. I don’t eat cake often but I ALWAYS chose vanilla for my birthday cake when I was a kid and it tasted EXACTLY THE SAME.
The icing was so sweet it made my feel a little ill and well, I just paid $ 4 for something that tasted like a cake mix.
Talk about disappointing.

This location is most definitely opened. Stopped by here late Saturday night. I think they were genius to stay opened while the hoards of people where walking back to the parking lots after a concert at Pizza Hut Park.
The shop is soo cute and I will definitely take my nephew there some time. We had a chocolate mousse and lemon crème cupcake. They were packaged in a cute pink box and made the trip home in good condition. Both cupcakes were nice and moist and the lemon had the perfect citrus flavor.

These were the worst cupcakes we have ever tasted. They were so dry.
I could have gotten better at any grocery store. If other comments are correct and they do use Betty Crocker this is an insult to the taste of Betty Crocker.
We were there at 2:30 pm on a Saturday. They had a buy five get the sixth free. Since we were meeting another family we went ahead and purchase the six cupcakes and paid $ 20. The children would not even eat them they were so dry. We ended up trashing them. Not worth the price or not even worth $ 0.10 each. What a waste.
Best part was the bathrooms were clean for the children to use.

$ 4 a cupcake is a lil pricey but the size of these things is huge! The lemon, peanut butter & chocolate, and the chocolate mousse are sure wins in my book.

I have been back to this location and to the Dimples in Uptown (on Blackburn St.) several times. Service is still above par, but I’m less impressed with the cupcakes! Red velvet is still my favorite, and I like the cookies ‘n cream flavor. I have also tried the Snicker’s flavor, which tasted great. But the chocolate with cream cheese frosting and the carrot cake cupcakes didn’t suit my palate.
I have tried ordering cupcakes online, but the online form was not working. It wouldn’t allow me to make the proper selections or even process the order. So, I called them instead. A woman picked up, and she was very nice as she took my order. I requested to pick them up at the Uptown location, and I arrived about 5 minutes before the pick-​up time. I gave them my name, and they prepared my order right in front of me. I was surprised that it wasn’t ready to go, but at least I was able to change my order at the last minute.
As for the Betty Crocker rumors … who knows? It’s disappointing if it’s true, but I don’t know if that will put them out of business. There’s supposed to be a new location opening on Hebron Parkway, near The Shops at Willow Bend. It does encourage me, however, to save some money and bake some of my own!

I felt obliged to provide rather disturbing information about the owners and mixes used at Dimples. D Magazine produced an interesting article against this company, the two crooked owners, and their use of Betty Crocker cake mix in their $ 4 cupcakes. It’s such a shame what these people did; I only hope they find new owners that put an effort into their business plans.

i don’t know what all the hype is about sprinkles, but once you’ve had dimples, you won’t be going anywhere else. This is by far the BEST cupcake i’ve had in dallas! They’re super moist and they’re HUGE. The cupcakes have to be at least 1.5 times bigger than a normal cupcake. I’d say their flavors are a little more unique than some other cupcakeries. They of course have red velvet (which was good!), but they have other interesting flavors such as banana pudding, wedding cake, snickers… etc. If you’re in the mood for a cupcake, there are plenty of cupcakeries out there… but i know where i’ll be going. dimples!

Just LOVE these cupcakes! MUCH better than the other Frisco competition in my book! My favorites are red velvet, wedding cake & cookies and cream :) Lemon is yummy too! Great customer service too! These were ordered for my baby shower and they had someone come in and open early on a Sunday so the cupcakes could be picked up fresh as opposed to picking them up the night before! And boy were they delish! Thank you Dimples!

Ok my feelings about this place are mixed. I’ve been here twice. The first time, the girl that attended me was extremely nice and helpful. Since it was my first time, she let me sample all the flavors of the day because she’d just whipped up new batches. I wasn’t really thrilled with any of the flavors but settled on the strawberry. It was pretty good but a little on the dry side.
The second time, I went with a group of co-​workers and there was a different older (middle aged) lady that attended us. A couples weeks earlier, Dimples did a text message promotion for 2 free cupcakes. There was no expiration date in the text. Well I show it to the lady there and she says its no longer valid. Excuse me? There were no specifications as to a date I had to use it by. After pointing this out, she begrudgingly accepted it. Like I said, there was a group of five of us and everyone commented on her terrible attitude. We were the only patrons to the store and yet she didn’t want to let us sample any of the flavors. After waiting about 15 minutes longer than we should have, we finally left with our cupcakes which were pretty decent this time. That lady’s attitude was just awful though. For $ 4 a cupcake, they really need an attitude overhaul… the cupcakes are not THAT good to be discouraging potential repeat customers!

I am a cake & frosting freak, but it doesn’t need to be a cupcake. I don’t know what the cupcake trend is all about, but I sure don’t mind. Of all the cupcake joints in DFW that I’ve visited (I’m sure I haven’t been to all of them yet), Dimples is the top choice for sure. Love the half and half and wedding cake, and though I am not a huge chocolate person, the chocolate is good too. I’ve not tasted the other varieties (yet), but I’ve been told most are delicious. Half and half is my favorite. I’m sorry, but Sprinkles cupcakes are to me, highly overrated. Frostings are good, but the cake is too dry. Dimples cupcakes are pricey, but they are giant, and to me, worth every bite.

I love their cupcakes. My favorite are the red velvet and the banana pudding. Everyone is very friendly. These are the biggest cupcakes ever but they are a bit pricey. They are very moist and delicious. They do need to be more consistent about their hours.

WOW! What a drastic turn of events… After my rare 5 star review they came back and totally disappointed. I have no doubt they may be back in the 4 star realm soon (but they lost the elusive 5 star for good or at least a while) but too disappointing.
Went by on Sunday afternoon and they were closed. despite their hours being from noon to 9pm. So we left disappointed.
On Monday I went back around 1:30pm to pick up some cupcakes and all they had were carrot, strawberry shortcake and red velvet. We were excited to try the chocolate banana and the snickers but they didn’t have any. I asked them what happened and I got a long excuse about they had a bunch of events over the weekend, they didn’t have supplies etc. they would have some done in an hour or so (3 pm, which would be 5 hours after they first opened). I was not willing to wait. They were nice about it but poor planning on their part.

I still don’t get the whole cupcake craze, but at least I can enjoy a Dimples cupcake without feeling like I’ll get diabetes.
The gf hurt her knee pretty bad last week so after grabbing some food with my pops, I was Mr. Charming and picked her up some dessert (I know, I know.. .I’m awesome).
I opted for one chocolate cream cheese and one cookies n’ crème. After paying the absurd $ 4 per cupcake price, I went to deliver the goods. Now, I’m not thrilled that it cost me $ 8 and some change for a couple cupcakes, but at least the taste made me not hate myself as much. The cookies n’ crème is fantastic. The cake was a little dry, but I bought later in the evening. The frosting is what sold me.. .it wasn’t over sugary like at Sprinkles. It was sweet and flavorful and not obnoxious (much like myself.. .zing!). We split the cookies n’ crème and I gave the chocolate cream cheese to the roommate. Since he asked where the location was and what their hours were, I take it he had no issue with how his tasted.
Will I ever drive to BFE for a $ 4 cupcake? No. If I’m ever that far north again and happen to be in that exact shopping center after a meal and I still have room for something sweet? Possibly. Will I choose Dimples over Sprinkles? Every time.

After buying 5 cupcakes from both here and another Frisco cupcake place while in Frisco with the wife, I wrote up a review for each of them. Dimples is head and shoulders above the other cupcake shop in this area of the metroplex.
The first we tried was the Vanilla from Dimples, first one from there we ate and damn are they big. Twice as much to eat as the Cupcakery ones. Cake was decent, nice and moist, not to dense. Icing seemed to be home made, neither cake or icing seemed to be mixes or out of a tube. I give a 3.5, above average.
Chocolate I give a 4 out of 5. I enjoyed eating it and truly liked it’s flavor, moisture and texture. Both cake and icing were good. I would actually buy again. The flavor was good but not perfect, but cake and icing went well together.
Red Velvet cake was very moist, which is always want you want. Texture was perfect, the only problem is that there was no flavor to it. None. If I didn’t know what I was putting in my mouth I wouldn’t have had a clue what it was as it was just tasteless. The icing though was once again nice and as I said it was moist. So I give it a 2, it it had a flavor it would have probably hit 4.
I tried the Cookies N’ Cream next. It was just what you would expect, oreos mixed in with the icing and even some in the cake. The cake was moist and flavorful, this was one of the best cupcakes I have had and would be on the top of my list to get if I went back to Frisco or to another Dimples locations, 5 stars for this cupcake.
The 5^th one we had was the carrot. It wasn’t bad, you could tell it was made with real carrots, pecans and something else. It wasn’t raisins that are in the cake like a lot of carrot cakes. Not for sure what it was, looked like pineapple. I love carrot cake cupcakes, so this one was a disappointment. It wasn’t bad tasting, it just didn’t live up to expectation after the other cupcakes from here and I wouldn’t order it again. 3 stars.
The place as a whole was nice, a good size to it, small tables and chairs in one section for kids. Not for sure about the display rack showing types of cupcakes that they don’t currently carry. The person behind the counter was friendly and we even had a short conversation with her about cupcakes and the goings on in Frisco. Overall I’d rank it as the 2^nd best place to get cupcakes in DFW out of all the ones I’ve tried so far.

HOLY MOLY!!! I seriously should never have been introduced to this place! This is seriously going to be awful for my figure… LOL! These are the most beautiful cupcakes you have ever seen which makes me skeptical –and as a rule store bought cake is never as yummy as homemade UNTIL NOW!!! These little miraculous morsels are FABULOUS! I tried a bite of all sorts: chocolate, wedding cake, red velvet, cookies and cream… Oh man, every one was delicious but by far my favorite is the wedding cake one. I have GOT to get back and try the chocolate banana, Orange Dream, and lemon whatever the heck it is!!! Meet me there!!! ;) Lets eat!

*Disclaimer… of all of the boutique cupcake places I have only been to Dimples and Cupcakery (Frisco location)… I have not been to Sprinkles or Society
**3.5 Star Rating**
Last Thursday night, Jenn, Vicki and I decided to try Dimples Cupcakes. While I enjoyed the cupcakes I ordered, I thought the variety of flavors was sadly lacking.
1) Wedding Cake cupcake… plain white cake and plain white icing. This was by far my least favorite because it was overly sweet and just plain.
2) Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese icing… the icing made this one although the chocolate tasted more like a Devil’s Food than a plain chocolate.
3) Lemon Cake and Lemon Icing… by FAR the best of all of them… moist lemon cake that while sweet, was also slightly tart and ridiculously refreshing. The icing was just sweet enough but lemony enough to make me one happy camper
4) Oreo Cookie Cupcake with Oreo Icing… the messiest of the cupcakes because there was a ridge of crushed oreos along the edge of the icing. That said… this cupcake was yummy
5) Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Icing… um, yeah. it was there
6) Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing… I’ve come to the realization that I just don’t like red velvet unless it has gray icing and is in the shape of an armadillo’s ass.
*Cupcake I didn’t order… Strawberry… because they had a CHERRY on the top as a garnish. Um, What? (cherry allergy, guess I wont try that one).

Absolutely the best cupcake I have ever eaten. Dimples only showcases 3 — 5 flavors a day (if I’m not mistaken). I was a little disappointed at first, hoping for a larger selection, but the quality of these treats far outweighs their limited daily assortment. I’ve been on 3 separate occasions and have personally sampled the chocolate with cream cheese icing, the wedding cake, the red velvet and the carrot cake (which is by far my favorite). My friends and family have said that the pineapple upside down cupcake and German Chocolate treats were amazing as well. These cupcakes are unbelievable. They are undoubtedly the moistest, most flavorful mini cakes I have ever eaten. They are a little costly at roughly $ 4 a piece, but these treats are well worth the price.

They just opened this location this weekend– lucky for me! They only had three flavors available, but don’t let this deter you. The staff said they anticipate adding more flavors soon. We tried all three (chocolate, wedding cake and red velvet) and they were all very very good. The chocolate was my favorite. These cupcakes are sweeter and less dense than Sprinkles. Price is about $ 4 per individual cupcake. I can’t wait to go back for seconds.
