We cannot say enough sweet things about Cupcake Royale. After going around Seattle and trying local cupcake restaurants, we finally decided on Cupcake Royale to supply us with our wedding day treats. Not only did we feel that they had the best tasting cake, but also the best presentation. Our decision to go with Cupcake Royale proved to be the correct one because they were extremely easy to work with and let us customize the order to our preferences. They even went above and beyond and were willing to supply us with a cake flavor that is typically out of season this time of year and matched the frosting to our wedding colors exactly. On the day of, they arrived promptly on time, and were extremely kind and patient while I was running around getting ready to marry my best friend. Many of our guests even came up to afterward the reception and told us how much they loved the cupcakes. It is these reasons listed, that we would strongly recommend Cupcake Royale for anyone needing cupcakes for a special event.

Having grown up in Seattle, I recall when the Ballard Cupcake Royale first opened and in devouring the mouthwatering deliciousness of the cupcakes they served fresh made from local ingredients. In search of a wedding cupcake vendor for our August wedding, there wasn't a doubt in my mind in who to choose. Having since moved out of WA State and coming into town from Idaho for our August wedding, we pre-ordered a couple dozen cupcakes online through Cupcake Royale's website. Pre-payment online was a breeze and they even give you the opportunity to choose the designated pickup date, time and location. Very convenient! The two ladies manning the counter the day we planned on picking up our wedding cupcakes thanked us profusely for ordering ahead and offered very good customer service.
If you are in search of wedding cupcakes or whatever else Cupcake Royale may offer, I recommend them 100%. You won't be disappointed!

Wanted cupcakes for my recent December wedding. We loved the idea of our guests having baby cakes and having a regular size for us. Our colors were mint and gold; I emailed them about special orders and a nice email from Kiwi came through saying that they can easily dye the vanilla buttercream to mint and place gold dot like candies on top. This request can be done during the checkout process online. Yummy cupcakes all around and our guests loved them!!

Delicious! We have a few vegans, and it was awesome to be able to provide a vegan cupcake as well as the regular cupcakes. We did a trio of the baby cakes for each guest because they are so amazing! We went around Seattle and tasted cup cakes from multiple bakeries and Cup Cake Royale is the best! The boxes are clever with the writing.

We had a small wedding at Snoqualmie Falls - family only - and the "feel" of the wedding was a bit more laid back. I wanted something to reflect our taste in "simple pleasures," and knew that cupcakes would be perfect! I enlisted my Mom's help in getting the cupcakes - not only were we (slightly) last minute, but we had special colors and flavors to boot. The in-store (Bellevue) experience was top-notch; not only did they accept our asks with a smile, but the guy at the front desk was sure they didnt't have the special sprinkles/toppers we wanted, and volunteered to pick some up - on his own dime - at a specialty store in SEATTLE on his way home, and come in early Friday morning (my wedding was that afternoon) to ensure they were placed perfectly, in time for a noon pick up! We couldn't be happier. The cupcakes were beautiful, delicious, and of course all the kiddos went nuts for them! Thank you SO much Cupcake Royale!

We had Cupcake Royale cupcakes at our wedding instead of a traditional cake, and.we absolutely loved them! We picked four distinctly different flavors so there would be something for everyone, and they were a huge hit. They delivered to the venue on time, despite unforeseen access issues (a gay pride parade being staged outside the door of the venue!) and the quality of the cupcakes was fantastic.

So instead of the traditional wedding cake, my now hubby and I decided to have wedding cupcakes. I'd heard Trophy was all the rage, but in a head to head competition (we had 4 people and 6 cupcakes each from Trophy and Royale) Royale was the unanimous winner.

Basically they do everything you could want for cupcakes for your wedding or special event.

1. you get a cheaper price the more you order - I think we ended up paying about $2.50 per cupcake, compare that to a wedding cake!
2. They deliver for a small charge and set up
3. They will let you rent a cupcake stand that holds 90 cupcakes for a small charge
4. They do small cakes for cutting (which we didn't do)
5. You can order cupcakes off the menu or have ones specially made for your event - we did both. We had one third lemon drop (soooo freakin' amazing), one third caramel apple (the October special) and one third Coconut Bunny with Pink instead of White frosting (really pretty)
6. We were treated really well, and the people who work at both the Ballard and Capitol Hill locations are crazy nice.

Everyone loved them! In fact we had to "cut the cake" early because people were eating them already!

The cupcakes were a huge hit at my wedding and were delicious. We got three flavors with different colored flowers and are guests just thought it was the best idea ever. The Red Velvet was definetly a hit! We also rented the stand, which was much higher quality than some other places that have plastic ones. Their wedding coordinator's were really easy to work with, I must have changed my order like 5 times and they were always very accommodating and it all turned out perfect. Cupcake Royale has been a favorite of mine for awhile and I will keep comming back!

I ordered my cupcakes from the Ballard location of Cupcake Royale. I was lucky enough to have a tasting with a great gal named Kayleen. My husband and I knew we wanted their delicious cupcakes at our wedding, but Kayleen put us over the top on our decision. It was the least costly of all of our vendors and you're able to choose from so many options. We had red velvet cupcakes, white babycakes with vanilla frosting and coconut and a chocolate mint cutting cake! The cupcake tiers are just beautiful and classy and added a really lovely touch to the decor, as well.

Highly recommend Cupcake Royale...and as for that comment about Trophy Cupcakes...to each his own, I prefer CR anyday! Ask for Kayleen!

Great alternative to cake!!! The cupcakes were very affordable and delicious! We met with the wedding coordinator in Ballard and she was great. They even mixed a special green color frosting to match our colors. Everyone was very pleased with the cupcakes and the 5-tier stand gave the illusion of a wedding cake! We mixed in loose flowers that matched our bouquets and it was beautiful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
