Cupcake Á La Mode

Came here to grab cupcakes for my birthday in January, found it via Unilocal.First off the cupcakes were really really good, I bought a dozen of them and it was fun to choose a bunch of different kinds, my favorite was the S’mores flavor.
That being said, the place was sooo awkward! Do not eat them there! We were the only people there (4 of us) and when we walked in the women behind the counter looked so annoyed at our presence. We all agreed after we left that she must hate her job; she didn’t say anything to us, didn’t talk about the flavors, just stood behind the counter silently judging us. There was also no music playing, or sounds, just us talking. That doesn’t’ sound too weird, but the space with no sound made our voices echo, combined with the women just staring at us made us feel really weird. And we wanted to eat them there, but we had to push tables together and use tiny napkins as plates. It seems like a place would want you to sit down and enjoy their cupcakes, but we actually each only ate half of one really quickly so we could get out of the silence and judgement as quick as possible.
But every cupcake was delicious, moist, and seemed fresh. Would go back just to grab and go!

Excellent! Loved the salted caramel. Just stumbled on to the place for my wife’s Birthday. She loved it.

Delicious! My favorite cupcakery in Kansas City! I highly recommend this bakery.

Great spot in the plaza. The lady who was working was super friendly. We had the red velvet cupcakes and they were delicious. Wish they had a few more flavors but overall I recommend for your cupcake needs!

I usually get the Raspberry Lemonade and Bella Nutella cupcakes and they’ve been tasty every time. However, my only negative comment is that sometimes it tastes previously frozen. I know it isn’t always possible to bake it fresh daily but I can taste a difference in the cakes’ texture. Fresh and business savvy idea with only having two cake bases and offering different flavored icings and toppings. At its peak when cupcake bakeries were trendy.

I preordered and paid for a dozen cupcakes for my friend’s birthday on Thursday to be picked up Saturday. When I got there to pick them up, not only did the employee working have no record of my order, she offered no help in figuring out what happened or a solution to the problem. She blamed «management» and left it at that. I had to leave without the cupcakes that I paid for. Very disappointing.

We stopped in to try these cupcakes because they were #77 on the top 101 Best Cupcakes in the US list. We were very disappointed. My boyfriend and I originally planned on each ordering our own cupcakes. Upon seeing how dry all of the cakes looked in the case, we decided against that. We split the chocolate caramel cupcake. My initial visual observation proved correct. It was the most dry chocolate cake I have ever experienced. The only thing that made it somewhat better was the caramel in the middle because the cake touching that was somewhat moist. I didn’t finish my half of the cupcake… it wasn’t worth the calories. I am a cupcake fanatic, in search for the best, and these were not good at all. I’m unsure how they made the list in the first place.

Very good cupcakes! I would definitely come back. I had a red velvet and a raspberry lemonade (not strongly flavored as such). I like the size of their cupcakes too. Only complaint, because I’m a serious cupcake connoisseur, I dislike when cupcakes sit out and the icing gets crossed crisped over. Other than that, I recommend trying this spot to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Outstanding. PB&J in particular was great.

Their locations are always, clean, inviting, cute open. Staff is incredibly courteous, helpful and patient as well. The cupcake choices are fun, beautiful to look at, delicious and enticing. I always come in for 2 and seem to leave with 4 to 6. This is my favorite cupcakery to visit when traveling through. I also choose them for gifting to friends and family. Keep up the great work!

Stopped in for a break from shopping and were definitely not disappointed! One of us enjoyed the Lemon special of the month and the other of us a French Toast crumble… All we can say is: «Yum.» If you get a chance, go and support a local business.

The cupcakes here are really pretty (but gigantic), and I was looking forward to coming here during our trip to Kansas City. Unfortunately, since we came only a few hours before closing, they had sold out of a lot of their flavors (and all the ones I really wanted to try!). I ended up settling for the PB&J Cupcake (Vanilla Cupcake Topped w/​Raspberry Jam, Swirl of Peanut Butter Buttercream, Drizzle of Raspberry Jam, $ 3.50,
), which looked the best out of the remaining ones. However, the cake was dry, the frosting super sweet, and the jam drizzle had the consistency of a gel frosting decorating pen you can get at the supermarket. I wasn’t a fan at all, and was disappointed by my pretty cupcake. If back in Kansas City, I would consider coming back to try one of the other flavors I wanted to check out, but wouldn’t go out of my way. Parking on this street is also tough since there isn’t much street parking available, but I believe you can pay to park in the garage across the street. However, there is one spot where you can park for 20 minutes or less (something like that).

DELICIOUS!!!
It was my first time visiting the store. A hidden gem in downtown. Cute, quaint, fabulous cupcakes. It was my boyfriend birthday and I wanted to buy something different other than a cake. I bought 6 assorted cupcakes and they are delicious and worth the ride. I highly recommend. 10 stars if I could. I shall return.

My friend brought me here for my birthday and she selected a dozen gourmet cupcakes. They were absolutely delicious. Hands-​down, the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. Starting with the Bella Nutella, one by itself is rich and delicious. Simply by looking at the colorfully named cupcakes in the display, you can tell there’s food and then there’s art and Cupcake A La Mode falls more so into the latter category.
For what you are receiving, a delicious cupcake, the price is fair. Keep in mind, they are large cupcakes. Parking isn’t the best but we found free parking at the Forever 21 store across the street.
One sad note, the cupcake holder is too shallow and the thin mint cupcake tipped completely on its side while in the car. My friend always says I hit the corners too hard when driving and this time, it proved true for the cupcake. Wish they would get better boxes.

I am a cupcake addict. ‘Nuff said.
These cupcakes are massive and decorated beautifully. The raspberry lemonade was amazing. The cake was so dense and rich, I could barely finish it! (That’s saying a lot considering my massive sweet tooth.)
I highly recommend!

Oh my yummyness! Good thing I don’t love closer. I’d be there all the time.
We’ve stopped here the last two times we were in KC. Mama Mia is one of my favorites. This time I tried the Salty Caramello with a Mama Mia to go :) It is like heaven in my mouth! Great choice.

I just had the best cupcake of my life: the Salty Carmello. Moist cake, creamy frosting and the perfect cake to frosting ratio. The best part, in my opinion, was the actual salt grains that decorated the cupcake. Really made an impact with the caramel frosting. They looked great and tasted even better. I’m a HUGE fan of salted caramel and since it is such a trendy flavor at the moment, you see it everywhere, but most places you can’t even taste the difference between regular caramel. This really hit the spot for me. I’m only giving 4 stars for now, since I’ve only tried one, but I will be back!

Perfect cupcakes. I like that I can order a dozen same day and pick up. I feel the size and quality is equivalent to the cost — about $ 25/​dozen. Love the flavors.
The moisture, texture, and density of the cake itself is my favorite… And their icing is perfection.
Highly recommend!

First and foremost, I am a cupcake addict. Whenever I see a new cupcake place, I must try it. That said, I vote Cupcake A La Mode as the best cupcakes I’ve ever experienced, hands down. From the Salty Carmella and French Toast (my favorites) to the ever-​changing monthly seasonal cupcakes, you can’t go wrong here.
I also had a specialty cake made here for my girlfriend’s birthday using her favorite cupcake flavor and it was a big hit!
Lastly, I frequently ordered their cupcakes for clients and they left a positive impact every time. In short, I highly recommend Cupcake A La Mode to anyone!

Months ago I took my nephew here and got one bite of his cupcake sandwich. I have been obsessing over that one bite ever since and was finally able to pick some up last weekend.
They were fine but not nearly what I remember about that one bite I had of my nephews. They only make the cupcake sandwiches on Saturday’s and from what they say always run out quickly.
I think it’s a pretty classic case of wanting what you can’t have which I’m typically pretty good at.
Their cupcakes seem well made and I applaud local business doing so well. The staff has always been super friendly too which helps when you’re paying $ 4 per cupcake.

Groupon! Haha
I actually came here a year ago and got the Groupon because they were awesome!
Cake is moist. The flavors are on point. The sugars are sweet. So are the ladies working there!
I like the Mama Mia and the Marshmallow ones the best. I would say there is no yucky ones. So if you like a certain flavor… Just try it!
I haven’t tried their cakes… But that’s because I don’t like cake. I actually don’t even like cupcakes… But theirs are sooo good!

When walking around in the hot Kansas city sun a sweet treat is welcome to one’s ears.
My sister, my niece, and my friend stopped by this cupcake joint when we were walking around the plaza. It was hot, hot, and hot. We stumbled upon this place via Unilocal and when we walked in it was a small little place with so much charm. There were several tables to enjoy our sweet treats and the AC was a nice feeling after walking around shopping.
We were greeted nicely and contemplated our choices. They were out of red velvet so each of us tried different ones. I had a mocha chocolate one which I adored. I loved the frosting and the cake was moist and tasty. I can’t remember what the rest of us had right now, but I do remember all of us enjoyed these cupcakes. The next time I’m in KC I know I’d pick up a half a dozen just to try the different flavors.
