Amazing cupcakes for our wedding!

Pure cupcakes was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! We ordered mini cupcakes in addition to a sweetheart cake to cut and all the flavors were outstanding! We had so many compliments from guests, and they were so flexible when we needed to adjust our order to account for party size! They took care of the set-up on site beautifully and I didn't have to stress about a thing!

Best cupcakes

I cannot recommend Pure Cupcakes enough! They make the absolute best gluten free/vegan cupcakes! So good that I ordered some for my wedding for the guests that are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan. They LOVED them, and it was a special touch to have a dessert option for the people with dietary restrictions/allergies. They even made the frosting color dusty blue to match the bridesmaids dresses.

PURE Cupcakes is the BEST!

This is hands down my favorite cupcake shop of all time. Best flavors are Tiramisu & Vietnamese Coffee ;). I knew I wanted to order at least some cupcakes, if not my actual wedding cake from them. After reaching out to Mary, I hadn't realized that their cakes are way more affordable than other wedding cake vendors out there -- which was a HUGE bonus for me. I gave Mary my preferences on flowers as well as color theme & pretty much gave her the go-ahead to design it in a way she felt best with my theme. The cake was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. It was exactly what I wanted, simple but also elegant.

Can I also add that there was no cake left by the end of the night; not even ONE slice! It's been a month since our wedding and I ordered another cake from them for a friend's birthday :). Per her request because she thought our wedding cake was amazing.

I recommend them to everyone! You will not regret getting your cake/cupcakes from PURE cupcakes!
