Classy Girl Cupcakes was founded in 2009 when owner Erica Elia baked the cupcakes for her own wedding. They were such a hit that friends and family asked her to bake for their weddings and parties. An entrepreneur at heart, Erica realized how much she loved baking and needed a creative outlet to balance her career as a lawyer. She built a website and rented a kitchen, and in her first summer as a Milwaukee cupcake catering company, Erica catered 35 weddings!
Business was growing so fast that by the next year Erica was ready for a retail location. Classy Girl Cupcakes opened its retail bakery on November 23, 2010 in one of the most happening areas in Milwaukee- Jefferson Street across from Cathedral Square Park, home of Bastille Days, Jazz in the Park, and a lively stretch of restaurants and nightlife.
Since its opening, Classy Girl Cupcakes has grown from one employee to over 25, and caters hundreds of weddings and events a year in addition to serving walk-in retail customers and special orders. On February 1, 2017, we opened our second location in the Brookfield Square Mall food court. Our Brookfield cupcake bakery also bakes cupcakes and cakes on site, fresh from scratch, using the same recipes and techniques as our original Cathedral Square Milwaukee bakery. We’re happy to bring our tasty treats to Waukesha County and the Lake Country area!
Both bakery locations offer 25+ flavors every day including cake cupcakes, jumbo filled cupcakes, and other unique ways to enjoy a cupcake- cheesecake cupcakes, cupcake push pops, cupcakewiches, cupcake mousse parfaits, cupcake bombs & truffles, you name it! And we’re more than just cupcakes! We also have talented cake decorators on staff who can design the perfect anniversary cake, birthday cake, baby shower cake, tiered wedding cakes, and more. We only use our homemade buttercream, which means that every cake is a hand decorated work of art.
We offer free wedding consultations and tastings at our Cathedral Square bakery location 6 days a week. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!
Erica was really easy to communicate with! Our wedding wasn't in the town we live in, so I didn't meet her in person, we just communicated through email and the cake we ordered appeared during setup. Our guests thought it tasted great and we were even able to order a couple vegan cupcakes, which was a nice touch for our guests with dietary restrictions. Erica was really helpful and redid many price quotes for me as I kept changing my mind. Overall really professional service and really good cake!

Thanks for the awesome wedding cake!
This is the letter I sent them and everything is true: I just wanted to thank you sooooo much for my amazing wedding cake! I can't tell you how happy it made me to see that beautiful cake at my wedding. It not only looked amazing, but it was delicious! I have already had two people contact me for referrals. The cake was set up perfectly at the venue when I arrived and it literally was all gone by the end of the night. Best, Elizabeth.

My mother-in-law order the groom's cake for the rehearsal from Classy Girl. They were super helpful and responsive during the ordering process and the cake came out cute and delicious!
