Frosted Cupcakery

Frosted Cupcakery has now become the Confection Co-​op. I was worried that ‘Frosted’ and it’s cupcakes were no more and that I might have to drive down to Long Beach to get my fix, but not true, the cupcakes are still there! Still the same owners for this shop, but no longer affiliated with the Long Beach and Hermosa Beach locations.
And I have to say that I, along with anyone else who lived through the cupcake renaissance of a few years ago can attest, I’ve tasted my share of cupcakes in town from Sprinkles to Magnolia Bakery, Babycakes to Big Man Bakes, and I have to say that Frosted’s (now Confection Co-op’s) are THE BEST. The cake to me, is perfection as far as cupcakes are concerned, moist and not dry, and then the frosting isn’t overbearingly sweet or too much. The lemon is my favorite and I love their salted caramel hi-​tops too and the gingerbread with lemon cream cheese frosting that pops up around the holidays.
The new space is beautiful with a very clean design. There are cookies and scones now too and I’m excited to see what other amazing treats they will come up, waistline be damned!

Great news!
One of the partners that ran Frosted in Hollywood has taken over and is expanding from cupcakery to bakery. The location now houses Confection Co-​Op and after tasting some cupcakes today, it appears that the beloved Frosted cupcakes have a new look to them and the offering of flavors has changed too! Coolhaus ice cream is also available.

This place is just around the corner from me so I find myself eating these cupcakes several times a month (sometimes several times a week). I have tried every cupcake they’ve ever had here and I was never disappointed. Granted, I do have favorites but you really can’t go wrong with any of them. My absolute favorite is the orange flavor. The white chocolate shavings on top of it — ugh, if you’ve never had it, I HIGHLY recommend it! I love how they have flavors of the month, which are always so yummy and since they’re different every month, it makes them that extra special! They also have good ice cream cupcakes too. Oh and if you are really into frosting, they have ‘frosting shots’.
If you are craving something sweet in the hollywood area, check this place out, you’re taste buds will thank you!

I’d like to start off and say the only star is given to Frosted Cupcakery for their gluten free option.
Their customer service was absolutely horrible. I walked into the store very excited to try something new (the ice cream cupcake) and was turned down by the rude worker. She didn’t even care to tell us the different flavors they were serving.
I wish I could’ve had some nicer things to say but i guess ill stick to sprinkles, where they truly value their customers and their needs.

SPRINKLES WHAT???
This is hands down the best cupcake place ever.
Make sure to get their CHOCOLATE CARAMEL BUTTERCREAM TOFFEE which is the bomb.
I wasnt really impressed with their frosted ice cream cupcakes tho.

We were just driving to lunch, hot and hungry from a hike, when I saw the sign: FROSTED ICE CREAM CUPCAKES. We immediately U-​turned and pulled in on that sign alone.
What you get is a mammoth sized frosted cupcake with a big ball of ice cream sitting inside. They had two kinds that day: Vanilla frosted cupcake with cappuccino ice cream, and chocolate/​chocolate with cookies n’ cream ice cream. These are very good. The frosting and cake actually stand up to the cold temperature, and mix well with the ice cream. The cake is still very moist despite being frozen. Plus one star just for the genius of putting these things together.
DIdn’t get to try the normal cupcakes, but they look very good as well.

It’s a cute little shop. They have all the regular cupcake options as well as some flavors of the month and less regular flavors like key lime and whatever they come up with. The main reason we decided to come was for the ice cream filled cupcake. We got red velvet and it was delicous frosting and the ice cream made it feel like it was an mini ice cream cake which I like. We also got the nutella regular cupcake which was also tasty, I love buttercream frosting so that was a major plus for me. Service was great and we were eating in the lovely shop in no time.

I used to be something of a cupcake snob but over time I got over my obsession and moved onto different desserts. However, every now and then I still have a little cupcake craving which brings me to how I ended up at Frosted.
I ordered the carrot cake and the chocolate peanut butter.
I always judge a cupcake place on their carrot cake and HOLY SH&* Frosted delivers on the carrot cake. Perfect frosting, perfect cake not too many nuts or additional things in the cake, perfectly moist. Possibly, actually very very likely, the best carrot cake that I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried MANY carrot cakes in my time.
The chocolate peanut butter was honestly just as good and if you’re normally a fan of this flavor you will not be disappointed.
Some of the best cupcakes in LA if not the absolute best. Oh and their prices are slightly cheaper than other cupcake shops. I definitely recommend.

OMG.
best
cupcake
EVER.
seriously though. i thought that i had found the greatest cupcakes when i went to sprinkles cupcakes. this place blows sprinkles out of the water.
the frosting is SO creamy and flavorful. and the cupcakes are so moist and delicious.
they have complimentary candles for your cupcakes which is super cute! or you can buy these little sayings attached to toothpicks to put in your cupcake!
love this place!!!

Cupcakes for lunch? Why not.
The cupcakes are always moist and delicious, the staff is very friendly, and it’s walking distance from my job so it makes sense for me to snack (or dine) here, and I do. Often.
The first of the month they do a «cupcake social.» What does that mean? A free mini-​cupcake of their flavor of the month (a try it before you buy it kind of deal well worth the visit). They also have mini-​cups of ice cream for $ 0.75 (chocolate or vanilla). I suggest you get here at least two hours before they close since I’ve gone a time or two around 6:30pm and they’ve been sold out of almost every flavor (good thing they’re all good otherwise it’d be very disappointing). Their best cupcakes (in my opinion) are the lemon one and the carrot one, and I’m usually a chocolate-​or-​I-​hate-​it kind of gal.
There is also a food truck here most Thursdays, which is great of you want a «real lunch» before grabbing a sweet treat.
Downside time, as with anywhere in Hollywood parking is not so easy. Try McCadden if the lot’s full, or you can snag a meter on Highland as long as it’s before 3pm, after watch out for the parking patrol.

Ice Cream + Cupcake = pure genius
After getting over the excitement of coming here and thoroughly enjoying one of the best cupcakes/​desserts I’ve ever had, I was surprised when I realized I’ve never actually seen this combination available anywhere else before. Of course there are ice cream cakes, but never have I tried this perfect little mini version, with a dense, solid ice cream core surrounded by a moist, delicious cupcake.
These ice cream cupcakes are pretty huge too — definitely quite a bit larger than your typical cupcake. The cold ice cream goes perfectly with the cake, and u wanted badly to try every single flavor of the several varieties they had. I happened to get the Chocolate Chocolate Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Cupcake, which was overwhelming in the best possible sense of the word. So rich and chocolatey.
Of course I also had to get the regular Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake to feed my peanut butter addiction. This was also very good, but to me it pales in comparison to the specialty item of this excellent little shop that I’ve gone on about above.
This would definitely be one of my regular spots on any future visits to LA. I need to come here over and over until I can try every single Ice Cream Cupcake. And then I would probably start on the regular cupcakes too.

Alrighty, it’s time for a few rounds of Word Association!
Sprinkles Cupcakes. Saccharine.
Georgetown Cupcakes. Dry.
Frosted Cupcakery. Not too sweet. Just right. Moist. Perfection!
Their red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting ($ 2.95 ea) is everything you want and need in a cupcake. You seriously could not ask for a more perfect cupcake. How in the world they make their cupcakes so moist and fluffy… yeah, you bet I want in on that secret!
If you’re watching your figure (everyone I know seems to be these days. boring!), you can opt for a hi-​top ($ 1.45 ea), which are mini cupcake sandwiches and they’re just as great. I recommend the royal white with salted caramel buttercream frosting.
Frosted Cupcakery has their own private parking lot, so there’s no need to fight other cupcake fiends for a parking spot on the street.
Fatty Tip: They’ll give you a free cupcake on your birthday. Oh hey!

Sick and tired of paying top dollar for mediocre cupcakes in LA? Join the club. My last cupcake in LA was at Georgetown and I swore off designer cupcakes; the cupcakes were stale and too sweet (we tried three).
Then came Frosted Cupcakery to the rescue: the cupcakes are MOIST, FLAVORFUL, and drum roll please… NOT TOO SWEET.
We loved the red velvet cupcake; it was everything I described.
The salted caramel hi-​top (think of it as a mini cupcake sandwich) was unique and tasty.
Frosted Cupcakery, you’ve got two additional fans!

Came in like 5 minutes before it closed! I also called ahead just to make sure and they stayed open right till 7, they were really nice too. So we made it, and they only had about 6 – 7 flavors left, but it would’ve been the flavors I would have wanted to try anyways.
Anyways we tried the following:
chocolate /​mint chip buttercream (4) — she said this was pretty sweet, and it was, but I love the mint and the chocolate, just like the ice cream, so yummy!
orange /​cream cheese* (4.5) — this was my favorite the orange taste was soo good && the cream cheese icing was perfect && it had curled white chocolate on top
royal white /​nutella cream buttercream (4) — this one was good too, hazelnut frosting was really good, I’m not too crazy about the plain royal white cake though
royal white /​vanilla buttercream filled with strawberry ice cream (3) — the ones with ice cream are two times bigger, and it was, the icing was really thick though, and I don’t really like the royal white cake as much, the strawberry ice cream was good though.
The only thing about the cupcakes is that the cake is really really light, it’s not dense at all, which I prefer more density, it feels like it will flop over. The flavors are really good though, so I would come back to try more!

Great place for cupcakes! Got some for a St. Patrick’s Day birthday celebration. I said glitter and green and let them do the rest and they turned out amazing! You can check out the photo section to see the ones they did for me :)
I would come back here and get cupcakes for any party!

I read on a list of LA’s best cupcake shops that Frosted was #1. Considering I live one block away, and coupled with my knee-​buckling addiction to cake products, I had to try.
My first visit I got a smore cupcake. It was not quite I was expecting in terms of flavor ratios, but it was good all around. Delicate cake and creamy frosting that was not too overwhelming. There isn’t a ton of flavor options here, they are mostly pretty standard with a couple less ordinary ones, but don’t expect to find a pomegranate bacon cream cupcake.
My second visit I came to get a friend a birthday present but I came about 10 minutes before closing (I believe 4pm on a weekend day) and they were wiped of everything except 2 red velvets which my friend (nor I) is not a fan of.
So moral of the story, delicious if you can get your hands on one, but frustrating if you don’t show up at the right time.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for sooo long but my class schedule doesn’t really work with theirs.
Finally made it out today and was sooo happy. Had the red velvet ice cream cupcake which has vanilla ice cream on the inside and a subtle cream cheese frosting on top and heart shaped sprinkles.
Also took the Nutella and the chocolate caramel toffee to go. Delicious.
They have their own lot out front and they are super nice and friendly, no LA rudeness in sight.
5 stars for the best cupcakes in LA county.

Cupcakes slow the aging process. I’m not 100% sure this is true, but do you want to risk it? Until some «scientist» provides evidence otherwise, my motto is «a Cupcake a day keeps the wrinkles away.» Try it. You’ll feel younger immediately.
Even though I was 6 miles away when the cupcake cravings hit, just a few taps on my Ponce De Leon app (aka Unilocal) guided me to one of my oldest bookmarks: tiny Frosted Cupcakery on Highland. It did not disappoint.
From the first sweet bite, the cupcakes churned childlike charm and comfort throughout my body. It started with a smile and settled softly in my stomach like a sweet sip from the fabled Fountain of Youth. I was younger. I was healthier. I was happier.
At $ 2.95 each, a Chocolate Cupcake with Caramel Buttercream & Toffee Frosting and a flavor-​of-​the-​month Chocolate Raspberry Cupcake with Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting made me feel the way I dreamed I still was.
A fabulous employee sensed my youthful joy dissipating after news Frosted Cupcakery was sold out of my beloved Red Velvet, so, she quickly volunteered I try a frozen Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting filled with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. She didn’t have to ask twice. It’s like getting a chilled red velvet happy pill for just $ 4.95.
Even Frosted Cupcakery has bought into the age-​defying effects of cupcakes by offering a FREE cupcake on your birthday. Keep Father Time at bay by bribing him with the magical restorative powers of a Mint Chip Buttercream Chocolate Cupcake.

Frosted, THE BEST cupcakery in LA!
I was a changed woman when I first had a bite of their Banana/​Chocolate cupcake at their Long Beach location. (
)
I was stoked when I found out they have another location in Hollywood. The timing couldn’t be perfect. I was looking for gift ideas for my team at work, since Xmas was around the corner. I wrote up a list for 3 dozen cupcakes and 2 dozen hi-​tops. I took my list on friday, spent 15 mins with the staff there going over details and picked up my cupcakes Sunday afternoon (packaged in pretty boxes and packed up to fit in my trunk)…ON TIME I might add. I gave the treats to my team this morning and let’s just say they know they have the BEST boss.
I inhaled a Salted Caramel Hi-​Top when I dropped off my order, btw… took me to heaven and back.
Frosted Cupcakery… you ROCK!

***Frosted Cupcakery puts out satisfying and moist cupcakes***
I have had a few cupcakes from Frosted Cupcakery (in Long Beach) at various events. The cupcakes have always been good and they are more moist than Sprinkles (Frosted’s frosting is lighter too) though I do like Sprinkles’ strawberry cupcakes.
This location is in Hollywood and it is a small shop. It does have a nice and clean feel. There is a little bit of seating, which is good since they have more than just cupcakes (several drinks as well as ice cream filled cupcakes).
I came right before they were closing so they did not have much variety remaining. I opted for the strawberry cupcake and it was good. The cupcake had a good flavor and was moist (though probably not as moist as the cupcakes I have had at Violet’s in Pasadena).
The cream cheese frosting was good. It was light and not too sugary. It was not really sour or tart, but it was definitely tangy.
The prices seemed to be about what you would expect to pay for a gourmet cupcake (about $ 3 each).
Service was pleasant, personable and good.
I am not a huge cupcake fan, but Frosted was a satisfying spot for a little treat. I have been to a few cupcake shops and Frosted is a respectable one.
Parking is available on the street by meter. I think this store also has its own free parking lot.
