Frosted Cupcakery

My favorite cupcake shop. The cake is always super moist and flavorful, and the icing is never too sweet and also just has that perfect harmony between creamy and frosting-​y, if you know what I mean. Always get the flavor of the month! There’s a place to sit and enjoy your cupcakes too.

The ice cream cupcakes are so good! They’re huge too and fairly priced. The place is right next to the Hermosa Beach Pier. I will going back to try the regular cupcakes

I’ve been going here to get cupcakes since they first opened up in Hermosa Beach. My favorite cupcake is the vanilla cake with vanilla frosting & the salted caramel hi-​top. If I have a special event I usually will call in advance and reserve my order because by the end of the day the big hits are all gone. Also, the cupcakes are reasonably priced compared to over shops in the South Bay.
***Saddened to find out it’s closed

Frosted Cupcakes are the best cupcakes in the South Bay. The cupcakes are light and fluffy, though I prefer them to be a bit more rich and heavy. The frostings are what make them the best in the area. They are perfectly scrumptious without being overly sweet.
The counter is small (think half as long) compared to the other famous cupcake bakeries in LA. Come early or all the specialty flavors will run out. Sure, they always bake more vanilla and chocolate later in the day but I prefer new adventures for my tastebuds!
We gift a dozen cupcakes from here when we need a good party or housewarming present.
Mini cupcakes are so freaking cute. I can eat half a dozen in a sitting but one is great for a toddler. My two year old loved eating the tiny candied heart on the red velvet mini cupcake. Sooo heartbreakingly cute!

A friend of mine told me about this place because I was near by. It was my boyfriends birthday and he received a free cupcake, any flavor he wanted. I then ordered a dozen of their little cupcake sandwiches and those were so delicious, the cake was moist and cream filling was not too sweet. I also ordered pupcakes for my dog, and from what I can see he loved those too. Next time I’m in the area I will definitely stop by and get more goodies.

So glad we found this cupcake shop. The strawberry cupcake is to die for! So light, and moist, and the icing is perfect! All the flavors we’ve tried here were amazing, no disappointments! It’s hard to only go get one, you see the creative flavors, and want to try them out. If I go in for one, I always end up buying a couple. These cupcakes are just the right amount of «sweet», when you eat one, you don’t feel like you’re going into a sugar coma, they aren’t heavy and overly rich. Just perfect! The shop is bright and clean and pleasant to eat in.

Tasty cakes, but DO NOT rely on Frosted for events, we placed a large order with them and 30 days before the event they told us, when we called that they wanted more money. Horrible customer service… cannot advise you rely on them.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend Frosted for events. Their cupcakes are outstanding so I am sad that I had to cancel the order. I was quoted a delivery fee of $ 25 for 21 miles and a set up fee of $ 30. It’s now a month before my wedding and I called to check on the delivery time. The clerk informed me that it would be an extra $ 40 for delivery because it is 23 miles instead of 21 miles. The setup is an extra $ 50 because it is a large order. If I had know this upfront, I wouldn’t have placed the order with Frosted. My order was already on the pricey side ($ 730) but this pushed it over the edge. Very disappointed.

Best cupcake I ever had #iregretnothing
The employee was so nice and had a brief conversation and was much appreciated

Cupcakes are a thing of beauty. Frosted Cupcakery is skilled at bringing out that beauty without needing to be over-​the-​top about it. I had the cookies-​n-​cream cupcake and I really appreciated that it wasn’t so sweet that my throat was itchy. It also wasn’t big enough to give me a stomachache — also appreciated. My friend seemed to feel the same about the Heath bar cupcake. She remarked that if she had the opportunity to make cupcakes every day, she would probably just eat them all.
Anyway…
I really wish this place was open on Mondays so that we could have tried the ice cream cupcakes, but we were at least given a good introduction to what it has to offer.

My dessert after having pizza and wings! Yep, I pretty much had a whole entire cheat day!
Sorry I didn’t take a picture of the mint chocolate chip ice cream cupcake BUT I ate it. All of it. Before I even thought about Unilocaling about this place. I also ordered a coconut cupcake for my sister which I brought to her the following day.
This place is super small but its cute. If you’re like me and like coffee to wash down your sweet treat they have that too –only I didn’t that day as I got starbucks instead. There was a small line when we entered but service was quick. There were 2 young girls behind the counter, they were friendly and helpful as I had couple questions since it was my first time there.
I“ll definitely be back. I want to try a different flavor cuppie every time I go. Lol
What I ordered:
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cupcake — thumbs up!
Coconut Cupcake — thumbs up!
See you again Frosted Cupcakery!

Really looked forward to going here after seeing 4+ stars and reading how amazing it is.
Let’s do a list.
Pros:
Very clean
Plenty of options
Inside seating
Great friendly helpful staff!
Everything looks amazing!
Cons:
My toffee caramel cupcake — the frosting was gritty not smooth like a really good quality frosting should be.
The salted caramel hi top — Get prepared! The Man wouldn’t eat it! Let me say this he loves caramel, he loves his salt! He loves cupcakes! Why in the world wouldn’t he love this??? It was so salty it was like eating a spoon full of sugar of you know when you get French fries and you have to shake salt off them cuz they are too salty –/​this was how salty the cupcake was! It didn’t has the refreshing hint of salt that says wow sweet and salty it was pure saltiness overwhelming the tastebuds.
The cupcake was ok nothing about it said to die for — this was like a well done out of the box cupcake.
Do they deserve 4 stars maybe but with so many cupcake places these days you better
Be absolutely to die for to get 4 from me.
Ok I rate harsh I know.
Would I go back? After The Man’s Reaction to his cupcake and my experience it’s doubtful.
They had solid customer service.
My cupcake was good not GRRRREAT!
The Man’s was a wipeout!

Bought a dozen cupcakes for my sister in laws birthday. Then I couldn’t resist and bought the Mexican hot chocolate cupcake for myself. It was awesome, but understand it’s the flavor of the month and not part of their regular stock.
I come here for special occasions. The prices are reasonable and the cupcakes are very tasty. I actually like them better than sprinkles.

I love cupcakes so what is one of the first things I do when I arrive in Hermosa? Unilocal cupcake places nearby. I heard about other cupcake places but they seemed like a pretty far walk as I didnt have a car. Frosted cupcakes had some pretty good reviews AND it was walking/​biking distance so I had to stop by. After a couple hours laying on the beach getting my tan on my sweet tooth senses started to kick in. I googled the distance from where I was to Frosted and it was only 3 minutes away… YES!
Frosted cupcakes is located on Hermosa avenue right beside the citi bank. I had a bike and wasn’t sure where to lock it up so I just leaned it against the window and kept my eye on it. It was about 545PM and there weren’t many flavors left (they closed at 7). I decided I was going to get two cupcakes to go. I saw a lonesome chocolate peanut butter cupcake so I got that and I didn’t want another chocolate cake so I got the only vanilla one which was the royal vanilla cupcake. These two cupcakes totaled just over $ 5 but I only had $ 50s on me and they didn’t take anything more than $ 20 bill so I had to use my credit card :(oh well!
When I got home, I immediately opened the cupcakes and grabbed the chocolate peanut butter, I think there is some crushed butter finger on top. The cupcake was super moist and the frosting wasn’t overly sweet (I normally love sweet but this was perfect). The crushed butter finger went well with the frosting and moist chocolate cake, I devoured it. I really should have saved the vanilla cupcake for my brother but too bad he wasn’t home…;) the vanilla cupcake had white sprinkles on top and it was lovely too. Super moist vanilla cake with some sweet vanilla frosting… sometimes simple is really the best!
In the end, I consumed the two cupcakes in about 5 minutes, so yes. they are satisfying!

Red Velvet Cupcake — 3 stars, not the best flavor or frosting
Chocolate with heath bar like topping cupcake — 3.5 stars, they recommended it, pretty good
Mint Ice Cream Cupcake — 4 stars, probably the best part, i had to wait 20 mins or so for it to thaw out a bit, it was good and filling, a fair price.

This is located next to the Pier on Hermosa Beach, so is very convenient for tourists and locals alike who are in the area.
There is a parking lot, covered struture next door, so parking isn’t a huge problem (unless you’re coming on a Fri or Sat night or nice weekend day when the Beach Cities area is crowded.
This is a good solid gourmet cupcake. I differentiate cupcakes into 3 tiers… The Gourmet is at the top, and I define them as having more untraditional flavors, heavy in the icing/​frosting and costing over $ 3 each. Then there’s the Average or Standard Cupcake, one you’d find fresh from a bakery, even in the supermarket as well. And the bottom tier is the pre-​packaged cupcake, filled with preservatives sold at retail like Hostess, Debbie’s, etc.
So, from the context of what a cupcake is worth or should cost, as a gourmet cupcake, Frosted Cupcakery is on par with their peers like Sprinkles. The quality and quantity (size) is fair and reasonable too. The selection isn’t so robust ‘tho, and there’s a lot of cream cheese based frosted flavors. I’m not sure if the selection changes daily or not ‘tho.
The service was fast and friendly and there’s places to sit and eat inside, so it’s a nice place I’d recommend for a sweet treat.

Located right next to the Hermosa Pier… I have got to say I’ve never been a fan of cupcakes at least not as intense as now. I owe it to Frosted Cupcakery.
Frosted Cupcakery has changed my life… Ok, not that drastically but I cannot stress enough how scrumptious these cupcakes really are!
I’m on a journey to try all their different flavours at different visits of course but, about 95% of the cupcake flavors are amazing.
The staff is so nice and sweet everytime. The location is small but cozy, always clean. There are a couple of tables in case you & your company would like to enjoy your cupcake inside for a café-​like vibe OR you can walk out to the pier and enjoy basking in the sun with your sugary snack!
Red Velvet Cream Cheese is my ultimate FAVORITE! Give it a shot!

Frosted Cupcakery is located in Downtown Hermosa Beach. Other than cupcakes, they also serve beverages, such as, Coke, Root Beer, and Tea, etc. They also sell Frosted Cupcakery T-​Shirts, birthday candles, and greeting cards. When we came the cupcake selection was limited. We decided to order the hi-​top and one of the ice cream cupcake.
:Dessert:
Hi-​top is a mini version of the cupcakes. We got Red Velvet Cream Cheese, Regal White Salted Caramel, and Chocolate Nutella. The cake was dry but from the three flavors, I liked the Red Velvet the most.

Now for the Ice Cream Cupcakes, they had four flavors: Red Velvet Cream Cheese Vanilla Bean, Regal White Vanilla Strawberry, Chocolate Chocolate Coffee Cookie, and the last is the Chocolate Chocolate Mint Chip. I asked the Cashier which cupcake was popular, she said the Chocolate Chocolate Mint Chip so we got that. I liked the ice cream but I think the cupcake was lacking the rich chocolate flavor.

:Customer Service:
Friendly, she was happy to answer all our cupcake questions.
:Tip:
Ask about their flavor of the month.
:M’s Notes:
~Parking Structure with Parking Meters (enter the parking space number and pay)
~Street Parking

Frosted is just the best. It’s a simple setup with a friendly staff and a straightforward menu. I’ve sampled a LOT of cupcake shops around the city over the last few years, and this is the only one I keep coming back to. Grab a cupcake and enjoy it on the pier. What could be better?
Favorite cupcake: chocolate /​caramel buttercream toffee

I bought some cupcakes here for a friend’s birthday. I bought eight but the one I remembered the most was the chocolate cupcake with cookies & cream buttercream. I’m a sucker for anything oreo related and this one was delicious. The staff that day wasn’t too friendly and seemed impatient when I picked out my cupcakes. Bonus: they have treats for dogs called pupcakes. $ 2 for 3 mini-​sized meat cupcakes.
