Cupcake A La Mode

This week we tried Cupcake A La Mode. We decided to eat our cupcakes at the cupcakery instead of bringing them home like we usually do. Cupcake A La Mode was a cute little shop with a good selection of cupcakes. I wish they would have had more vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting because I had 4 kids with me and only 3 of them were able to get one. My other daughter tried the Marshmallow Fondue cupcake after being told it was like a smore. She didn’t really care for it and thought it was nothing like a smore. My husband had the Salty Carmella and loved it. I had the Let It Snow and loved it! What a moist cupcake with a great buttercream frosting topped with coconut. Absolutely delicious! The only criticism I have of this place is that they served our cupcakes on a small piece of parchment paper. It was difficult for my kids to carry their cupcakes to the table and we made quite a mess eating them. One would think for $ 3.50 a cupcake you could get a plate to eat them on. A great cupcake place I would recommend.

just picked up a dozen here. red velvet is always a hit, their stuffed french toast is fantastic and a must try! the tiramisu one was also a hit. Im not a big fan of buttercream and most the thugs in the menu were that. I think I will come back soon to pick up some more!

I recently went here to get cupcakes for my daughter-​in-​laws’ birthday. It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised by all the different varieties of the cupcakes. I got 6 different kinds and all of them were a hit with the family. The January special (the Mimosa vanilla cupcake) was absolutely fantastic. The cupcakes aren’t cheap but they’re definitely worth it!

The best cupcakes I’ve ever had and my husband agrees. Not the friendliest service, definitely not the cheapest cupcakes but you get what you pay for. Go there and eat a cupcake. I’m sure I’ve tried them all, all are delicious.

I love her cupcakes, but the women there is very rude. I won’t go back and I won’t recommend this place to anyone.
I was looking at other reviews and others have mentioned the service. It’s too bad.

Cupcakes are delish but the blonde lady behind the counter was extremely rude. Sorry but service is a big part of the experience for me.

Bought amaretto to take home and try (can’t wait). Tried bella nutella… Very yummy. Definitely wanted more Nutella though.

I purchased a Groupon to get a special treat for my family and to try a new Cupcake place. We usually purchase from Small Cakes or Gigi’s. We love both of those places but wanted to try something new.
I placed my order on-​line for 6 cupcakes. I wrote in my on-​line instructions to put two of the cupcakes in their own individual boxes to give as a gift to my daughters. I also confirmed this when they called to confirm my order. When I arrived to pick up my cupcakes, all 6 of them were in the same box. I mentioned the request on my order. The young girl assisting me immediately changed her demeanor and because visibly annoyed by my request. She snatched up the order form and said it did not say that. She then said «I will have to re-​box your whole order.» She then threw the box up on the counter. I then said «I had requested two boxes for the two cupcakes; I did not want them in the same box.» She rudely said «I am going to have to charge you for all of these boxes». I told her to forget about and took my order and left. As a side note these were cheap plain white boxes. They were not the fancy boxes you get at Gigi’s or Small cakes.
After I left the store, I thought «these cupcakes better be something special.» I was let down. They were okay but no better than anywhere else. Defiantly not worth the attitude I received.
I felt as though I was being treated as a 2^nd rate customer because I used a groupon. I buy a lot of cupcakes for events and special occasions. I will keep my business with Small Cakes or Gigi’s

We placed an order for 3 dozen cupcakes for a rather large baby shower in Leawood almost a week before the shower. When the RSVP list was finalized, we ended up needing to convert our order to 2 dozen cupcakes or the smaller versions of the cupcakes. We called 48 hours before we were supposed to pick up the order and were told that the cupcakes had already been made and that we could not modify the order.
This was no problem, of course, because nobody minds having extra cupcakes hanging around. However, it was concerning that the cupcakes had already been prepared 2 days before the pickup time. I find it hard to believe. We were either misled by the store’s employee or this store serves 2 day old cupcakes.
At the end of the day, everyone loved the cupcake flavors which were unique and well designed. The presentation was as good as the cupcakes themselves. We will be back, though maybe only to eat in the store.

Great cupcakes just wish they had more to sale after 3 there mostly out of everything

I decided to wait until I had tried several cupcakes to rate this as my favorite spot but it is now official… The best. This place even tops Sprinkles of Beverly Hills in my opinion. Each and every flavor they offer is delicious in its own right (and yes I have had nearly every single flavor except like… two) but my favorites have to be Amaretto Sweet (almond vanilla wedding) and Let it Snow (vanilla coconut.) What really stands out to me about Cupcake a la Mode is their consistency and quality. The cake itself is always fluffy and fresh. They must have a much lower egg content in their cake recipe because it is never spongey. I don’t like my cake testing eggy, and there’s doesn’t. I like how all their cake flavors are either a vanilla or chocolate base and they flavor the cupcake with the icing/​toppings. It keeps from the cupcake being too overpowered with sweetness. So yes I have rambled on about cupcakes for a while, but these really are the best in town, and my personal favorite, well, ever.

I recently got 4 cupcakes for a friend’s birthday and they were good, but not great.
The issue wasn’t the icing. That was fantastic. It’s just that the cupcake itself really didn’t deliver. Neither of us were disappointed (they are cupcakes after all), but I’d definitely think twice before spending that much on cupcakes again.

In my opinion, Cupcake A La Mode is as good as it gets when it comes to the world of cupcakes. This is nowhere near my house but for an occasion that calls for cupcakes I will make the trek out south. The stuffed french toast is my fave but the PBJ is unexpected and delicious as well. So much fun to get 12 different cupcakes and cut them all in quarters and let all the guests sample vs having to commit to one flavor!

Thank you Cupcake A La Mode, for ensuring that I will continue getting fatter and fatter because of how delicious and irresistible your paper wrapped desserts are. If it were a choice, I would dive face first into an olympic size pool filled to the brim with your tasty treats.
Pro tip — these cupcakes are TALL and unless you can unhinge your jaw snake-​style, you’re going to end up with icing in your mustache. This is course assuming you have a mustache, as I do. To solve for this potential faux pas, simply tear the cake from the underside of the cupcake and sandwich the icing betwixt it.

Their website recommended arriving early and I’m glad I did. I went on a Saturday, and there was a line at the door before they opened. I tried the marshmallow cupcake and it was moist! The cake names, décor, etc. are all cute :) Very creative work.

Last Saturday I went to Cupcake A La Mode at Park Place and purchased 4 cupcakes. I requested was chocolate (for my mom) and the rest were vanilla. When I opened the box later that night I had been given a chocolate/​orange cupcake, something my mom wouldn’t eat in a million years. No one else wanted it either, so we couldn’t exchange. Today I am at Park Place again eating lunch and I stopped by the cupcake shop to let them know what had happened. I asked if I could get another chocolate so my mom could finally have have her cupcake. I was told no, «I wasn’t working that day» and «You don’t have the cupcake with you». I was told I could buy one. I said it was not my mistake and why should I have to throw away $ 3.25?
I have been buying cupcakes from this store since they were on 47^th street. I have bought them for gallery openings, birthdays, housewarming gifts, house parties, lunches, valentine’s day, anniversaries and for out of town guests. I don’t get it, I try to bend over backwards for customers in my small business and it is not worth it to me to keep $ 3.25 in my pocket and lose hundreds more in revenue from a disappointed customer. If the employee wasn’t able to do this for me, why didn’t she pick up the phone and ask someone that could?
Apparently, there are lots of customers running a «I got the wrong cupcake scam» and I must be one of them. I don’t know who eats an orange/​chocolate cupcake, but I have one at my house (a little dented) if you want it.
It’s not about a cupcake, it’s about treating a customer like they are valuable. Not doing so is poor business

We are planning to get a couple dozen specialty shop cupcakes for an upcoming Holiday family get together. I was in the neighborhood and noticed this store, so I thought I’d stop in and take a couple home so my wife and I could compare with those from the competitor store we had planned to get them from. That way, we could get our cakes at the best possible place!
Unfortunately, we won’t be getting our cupcakes from Cupcake A La Mode… we will be sticking with one of their competitors.
The two cakes I brought home (within about 30 minutes of making the purchase) were both dry and doughy (undercooked? and day old?). Since I had never been to their store before, when I went in I had asked the sales person which two were the «best sellers» and what should I get to experience the best the store had to offer! I took home the two she recommended. Needless to say, if that is their best… at a price of about $ 3.50 each out the door, then I will pass.
I’ve had better, more moist, and fresher tasting cupcakes out of the vending machine at work.

Take in one loooooooong breath as soon as you open the doors to Cupcake a la Mode and prepare to be taken away.
Then, get the red velvet and thank me later. It’s a party in your damn mouth. I kid you not.
Personally, I think this joint beats out Magnolia’s in the city. Oh yea, I went there.

I love Cupcake A La Mode near the Plaza so much that I decided I just had to try the one in Leawood.
Leawood’s location is larger and just as adorable as the other. We walked in around 2:35 PM on a Sunday afternoon; they don’t close until 5 PM.
They were already out of a majority of the cupcakes; the case was pretty bare which resulted in me having to get a flavor I had already tried: the Raspberry Lemonade Cupcake.
Though I was disappointed that I couldn’t try a new flavor, I still enjoyed my lovely, moist cupcake in an adorable, pink cupcake setting.

When I was driving around looking for Ingredients, and I saw the very oh so familiar sinful little pink boxes in people’s hands, I knew it meant one thing… diet, go to hell, I’m eating cupcakes! The size 9 jeans will have to wait.
I am familiar with the Cupcake A la mode over on 47^th street. It’s next to the yarn shop. I had no idea what I’d be stepping into when I decided to eat at Ingredients.
Cupcake A La Mode… I went in there, before I had dinner, just to smell it and look at all the scrumptious treats behind the counter. The pink walls, and black chandeliers, the black and white floor, the few items for sale in the black bookshelves, the tables and chairs…
I then left to eat, and for some reason, couldn’t get Cupcake A La mode out of my mind. The store fits in with the other shops. They have a Hathaway shoes there, too. (The Wornell store takes more than half of my income, but my feet not longer hurt). Cupcake A La Mode.
I know they are pricey, and I know the prices of the cupcakes in New York. I have eaten them. But we must pinch ourselves, we are not in New York City, this is Kansas City (Leawood), and this is what we have.
I buy 4 cupcakes: Amaretto, French Toast, vanilla sprinkles, and raspberry lemonade. Every time. I don’t know which is better, the icing, the cupcakes, or the fact that I found a Cupcake A La Mode store, right close to a Hathaway shoe store, in a cool area that I didn’t want to leave.
These cupcakes are great. Infact, I’ve had every flavor of the white cupcakes, (I don’t like chocolate cake, so I’ve never bought it… maybe next time).
There were steady customers in and out, and I think Cupcake A La Mode has a great market out in the Leawood area. I’m proud that Kansas City has this business among it’s city.
