Extraordinary Cupcakes

Delicious cupcakes, however, I have to hold back one star because they charge $.50 extra if the cupcake has a filling. A bit greedy, I’d say.

Got my father cupcakes here for his birthday, and it’s where my sons first cupcake came from! The best cupcakes are made here for sure!
Definitely always a stop when in Williamsburg, and this Memorial Day weekend it’s a stop :)

Absolutely amazing! I come here quite often, I highly recommend it for dessert. I even had my wedding cake made by them. Only thing I wish they did was sell ice cream, but oh well. They now sell cheesecake which is a huge plus.

Tremendous Tres Leches is my #1 favorite! It’s light and not too sweet, definitely a must-​try! The cupcakes are a good size with dense and moist cakes, so the price is fair especially for the quality. The Spring flavor Luscious Lemon Raspberry is also delicious!
The staff is always very nice and friendly. I once went in after they had sold out of the Tres Leches cupcake and they offered to make 2 on the spot for me and my friend!

Ordered some cupcakes for a party. Really overpriced for the quality. They come in cute boxes but I really just don’t understand the hype. Cakes are too dense and icing is too sweet. Salted Carmel icing is so grossly sweet I had to throw the whole cupcake away (it was $ 4.00) I will have to start going to places myself now instead of going off reviews. People in this area will tell you EVERYTHING is the best they’ve ever had.

These cupcakes really are extraordinary! I have tried a lot of cupcakes in my day and these are the best I have had. They are LARGE and have a yummy, gooey inside surprise topped with phenomenal frosting. Between my husband and I, we had the Chocolate, Red Velvet, German Choc., and Banana and all were amazing.

Amazing, deliciously soft cake with wonderful flavors! We had the carrot cake, Madagascar and red velvet. Going back for more! The cakes are so moist and the frosting is decadent– definitely worth a trip! Can’t wait to try maple bacon (they were out)

Wow! Got 2 cupcakes today both were awesome. Will be back later for more! The chocolate cupcake with the white icing has been the best so far.

The customer service here was outstanding on Valentines Saturday this year. Thanks for being open till 7pm. :)

Great cupcakes! My only complaint is that they didn’t bake enough! Valentine’s weekend and they were OUT of several flavors we really wanted to try like the salty caramel, maple bacon, and gluten free for my kids. Also heard raves about the banana pudding but it too was SOLD out. This was kind of a destination visit from Richmond so it was a little disappointing that they didn’t have all of their flavors. But will definitely be back to try them again.

Love this place! We own a timeshare in Williamsburg and try to head down for long weekends when we can. We stumbled across this cupcake place on one trip and it is one of our go-​to spots. I love grabbing a cupcake and then finding somewhere in the historic area of Williamsburg to hang out and enjoy it.

Great cupcakes! They’re larger than usual so be prepared that even if you’re a pig like me, you will still find one to be large.
Very nice design. The individual, glass cupcake display is very cool and the way the cupcakes are also packaged was very pretty. Your design department crushed the visuals and your cupcakes followed through. The cake was nice and moist and the frosting was put on very thoughtfully.
The only reason this isn’t a 5 star review is because I felt the coffee cupcake didn’t have enough coffee taste onto it. I felt the same about the coconut. I may have been expecting too much or maybe my taste buds aren’t as balanced but I just wanted more of each.
Like that even matters. I would totally come back and bring my wife here. She doesn’t finish her cupcakes. You know what that means? More for me :)
Nice job!

There are several cupcakes places in and near Williamsburg — I am pretty sure I have tried them all, and these folks live up to their name: Extraordinary! I just went back today for birthday cupcakes.
The cupcakes are big enough that you can share, or just indulge.. And you will definitely want to indulge! The icings are rich, not grainy or overly sweet. The cake is moist and amazing.
The staff was superb. My orders have always been ready on time and ready to carry. And if they made me wait I’d probably buy even more.

These cupcakes are amazing! We tried one of each and we’re delighted with each of them! I have eaten a large number of cupcakes including Georgetown cupcakes, New York bakeries, San Francisco bakeries… literally all over the country… these are the best cupcakes I have ever bought! DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!

Such a cute place! The cupcakes are amazing! We had the Inconceivable Coffee and the Phenomenal Peanut Butter cupcakes. They were so good and moist. So glad we found it online!

I was pretty excited to try out Extraordinary Cupcakes, as they seem to be a local favorite for dessert! The place itself is so cute, with the purple and the teal, the large peacock mural, and the fluffy clouds, decorated with twinkling lights. Each available cupcake flavors for the day is in its own individual glass domes. If you check out their site, it lists the flavors they have for the day, and may include: Cookies & Cream, Wicked Chocolate, Marvelous Madagascar, Remarkable Red Velvet, Fantastic Chocolate Flip, Bodacious Boston Cream, Sinful Salted Caramel, Phenomenal Peanut Butter, Over-​the-​Top Maple Bacon, etc. I tried their Spring Flavor, which was the Luscious Lemon Raspberry — it was a moist lemon cake with a raspberry jam filling, topped with a raspberry buttercream icing. The cake itself was definitely fluffy and extremely moist, but I wished there was more raspberry filling, as it seemed more like a dollop. The buttercream icing, which was nice and smooth, didn’t really have a taste of raspberries, or even a subtle hint of it. The size of the cupcakes was exactly as Baked & Wired’s in DC, so I was pretty shocked at the similarities between the two. The employee in there was friendly, and I’m glad I was able to check this place out.

Very straightforward menu: Cupcakes.
Very, very, very good cupcakes.
Even the cake itself, apart from the frosting, is delicious.
TRY THEM ALL. You will thank me.

extraordinary (adjective | ex·traor·di·nary)
a: extremely good or impressive
b: exceptional to a very marked extent
That pretty much sums it up for me. I should end the review right here.
I was in town for my son’s 11^th birthday. We had just finished a great weekend at nearby Great Wolf Lodge. What better way to top it off then with an extraordinary cup cake?
The ladies running the front desk were polite and answered all my questions. It’s incredibly hard to choose a flavor. After mentally exhausting myself I settled on the Luscious Lemon Raspberry. Slap yo mama it’s GOOD! WOW! I’m not that much of a desert junkie but this little thing can right any wrong in the world. It blows the doors off that mediocre place in Carytown. Trust what others are saying and spoil yourself.
Keep up the great work!

I went to high school with the owner, but have not kept in touch with her over the years. When she heard from a family member that I was in Williamsburg for my anniversary, she had a box of her Extraordinary Cupcakes sent over to where I was as a surprise. She was not able to bring it herself as she was tied up with a wedding. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness.
Now on to the cupcakes… they certainly do live up to their name! As beautiful as they as tasty, we thoroughly enjoyed the Extraordinary, the mocha, wicked chocolate, and her special Spring flavor, Luscious Lemon Raspberry. The cake is dense and moist and icing on top is thick and rich.
I look forward to visiting the shop the next time I am in Williamsburg.

I hate this place because I always have to stop for cupcakes when in the area. They have daily choices and I always get the coffee one. One of these days I will not stop, but until then this why I work out… so I can eat cupcakes. The best cupcakes I have ever had in the Hampton Roads Area in my book. Always fresh. Large and priced well.
