House Of Cupcakes

Leave it to my very last minute to think of anything brain, I suddenly wanted to bring a cake to a dinner I was going to in 30 minutes, running late at 6pm on Father’s Day. I Unilocaled bakeries that were on my way and as I was driving to one location I caught a glimpse of the Cupcake House sign and quickly made a not so safe dart across highway lanes (in my car) and pulled into this parking lot.
Unfortunately there are no pre-​made cakes available to purchase. They must be ordered in advance. But there are plenty of pretty «gourmet» type cupcakes to choose from. So many flavors that if you’re easily distracted like me, it can be hard to make a decision.
They also sell cookies, ice cream, ice cream sandwiches. A sweet tooth paradise. Cupcakes were $ 29 for a dozen which is a great price compared to others I’ve bought in the city. The size are big enough that you can share but also not so ginormous that you can eat a whole one if you’re hungry, LOL.
I only had half of the peanut butter chunk and the cake part was so good and moist. The frosting was too sweet for me.
Cupcakes were a hit at dinner and the teens who had the leftovers at home said it was the best cupcake they’ve ever had.

I have tried almost each and every bakery around me. I live in North Jersey and I swear their cupcakes are the BEST. I love the dulce de leche cupcake. No wonder they won cupcake wars. Their cupcakes say it all. I have only been to the Wayne location so have to try this one. And yes, their customer service is excellent as well!

I love this shop. They have so many choices. Whatever you’re looking for they have it! Cupcakes. Cake. Ice cream. Ice cream sandwiches. Totally my new guilty pleasure!
If you’re looking for moist flavor packed sweet treats this is your place.

Disappointing. They look beautiful, but after first bite you’re sadly disappointed. It’s a small cupcake with no filling equivalent to Betty Crocker. With a ton of icing and decoration. The icing consists of chunks of sugar an overly sweet. I really wanted it to be good from the looks of them.

The cupcakes are pretty good my favorite and really the only cupcake I buy is the chocolate cream filled… SO GOOD!!! The ice cream is very good as well. Staff is friendly

I used them for wedding favors and was disappointed with the cupcakes they provided.

We have been coming here since they opened not too long ago. The cupcakes are super yummy and the flavor variety is great. So naturally when I was hosting a baby shower I thought of them. I was pretty disappointed when I picked up my order but did not have enough time to fuss over it at the store before leaving. Besides, could anything really be fixed at that point? Probably not. It is unfortunate to have spent close to $ 150 on 4 dozen cupcakes that were clearly an after thought. It was fairly obvious that a good dozen or so cupcakes were a last minute type deal, even though I placed the order over a week ago. The icing was falling off, it seemed as if the cakes weren’t cooled before being frosted. My only request was half of them be yellow frosting with white sprinkles and white frosting with yellow sprinkles. Not too hard… But the ones that were poorly iced where also decorated incorrectly. Yellow sprinkles on all with one or two white ones. It’s almost as though they remembered at the last minute and attempted to fix their mistake… At the end of the day the cupcakes where delicious but I did not receive what I paid for. I would still go here to get my cupcake fix in. But I would stay away from a large order. If they can’t handle sprinkles. My guess is something more complicated would be an issue.

My friend in Clifton told me of this place. Its right on Rt 3 and very close to her house. Ive gone twice and was satisfied both times by the workers. They are both kind and helpful. With some many different kinds of cupcakes to pick from the choice was not easy. The 2^nd time I went I even got an ice cream sandwich that was enormous! If you want sweets then this place is the perfect choice.

I had a last minute birthday dinner, and I wanted cupcakes, because I like portion control. Because I frequently travel from Morris County, I used to go to the Wayne location which has closed.
I called the Clifton location to see if vegan, cupcakes, and the regular mango cupcakes were available. They were, and the lady on the phone was very nice. Because of the nice service, I decided to take the ride. I ordered 2 vegan cupcakes, for my kid. I had the mango, strawberry daiquiri, margarita, and carrot cake.
I am a fan of cupcakes, and know a good cupcake when I taste one.
I first gave House of cupcakes a try, because I would go to Trader Joe’s. I fell in love with the pistachio cupcake which was always 5 stars, moist cake, cream cheese, white chocolate ganache, was over the top. That cupcake alone, I could easily drop $ 60 in cupcakes, worth every cent.
But my last 2 visits, I have not had the moist, fresh cupcake. The icing was always great, but the cupcakes tasted like they may have been frozen, and had been sitting out for days. The cake was stale, I will say this. I know from the taste, it was not a freshly baked cupcake which is fine. My only problem is, if you are going to sell less than freshly baked cupcakes, separate them, discount them, and let the consumer have the option of paying more for fresh baked, and perhaps paying less for stale, or older cupcakes (I am referring to my regular cupcakes) the vegan cupcakes were fresh, moist, icing was great. The vegan cupcakes were perfect. It was the stale regular cupcakes that I bought more of than the vegan.
When you drive 25 miles r/​t to patronize a business on your special day. I don’t think it’s too much to expect fresh cupcakes. As a business owner, I understand the overhead cost of rent, staff, etc. But when your charging higher prices, the expectations also are higher. I don’t mind paying more for quality, but I appreciate when my expectations are met, which was not the case.
But I will say, the customer service is the reason I gave 3 stars, and not 2 stars. Will I visit again in the near future, probably not. I don’t mind taking a ride to NY to Tonnie’s Mini’s or to Central Jersey to La Bonbonniere wherein I have always gotten fresh baked goods, never had to wonder.

I’ve tried the red velvet, chocolate brownie cheesecake and salted caramel cupcakes. My favorite was the red velvet. Very yummy and I love that they have minis for when you just want to splurge «a little». After reading some of the other reviews I want to try the caramel apple. My rating may go up a star after that ;)

I’d like to give this place 4 stars but was a little turned off by the service. My friend suggested we drop in after just getting out of Trader Joe’s. We were greeted with the usual pleasantries and I politely, and indecisively, said I wanted two cupcakes. Saw the variety of selections, got excited and decided on 3. Then my friend saw the ‘Buy 5 Get One Free’ banner, thought out loud that maybe we can do that and then we hear the girl getting my cupcakes let out an «Oh my God.» comment to her co-​worker after which they proceeded to chat while my friend and I discussed how it appears that it may be a bit inconvenient to have her move the cupcakes to a bigger container, etc. Oh well. but since we were going to split it anyway, we asked her if we can do the six cupcakes but keep mine in the current container since we’re going to divide them anyway. My friend tried to be friendly and peppy despite the attitude but I just wanted to pay and leave. I saw ice cream too. I would’ve wanted some ice cream.
As for the cupcakes, the carrot cake was delish! The icing. with the nuts. yumm! The German chocolate and coconut custard was sadly (to me) devoured while I was at work (my fault for leaving it out on the kitchen table) so unfortunately, I can’t say personally how those were. Maybe I’ll be back.

I had a sweet tooth tonight and asked my fiancé to take me here for some cupcakes. We got the buy 5 get one free, unfortunately they weren’t as good as they are presented. I am a lover of cake, and these cupcakes were not the best I’ve ever had. I did however get a strawberry ice cream waffle cone, and that was very delicious. I will go back, but for the ice cream instead of the the cupcakes. Next time I will try the cake balls and see if that is a better route.

First time trying this place and I was pleasantly surprised. Icing was delicious (I usually bypass it or take half off) but I kept it because it was yummy! They have many different options and even mini cupcakes if you don’t want to mess up your diet too bad! They cater to your sweet tooth with cookies, cheesecake, cupcakes, ice cream. So many options! Staff was awesome about answering questions regarding flavors!

The most delicious treats in town. I Friggan love this place! baby showers weddings what ever it gets 5 stars from me. They have Gluten free and German chocolate cupcakes that’ll make you slap your mother, his mother and her mother lol
Love them!

I had Mickey Mouse cookie favors made here for my son’s first birthday. They were great in accommodating a small order with two days notice. The cookies looked great but your teeth turn blue/​black after eating it because of the black frosting. They were not able to print the tags, which I wanted, because of the short notice. So I ended up printing stickers myself. The cookies are a little expensive, $ 4.50 each with a name in icing considering that cupcakes are $ 2.75.

They have vegan cupcakes but only 1 variety (chocolate) as far as i’ve seen. Been there a few times and twice that’s all they had and the other they were out. I’d love another option or two, especially if it seems like they run out, why not make another?
The other cupcakes look great and the prices are not bad. They also have cookies and ice cream and have great hours. A lot of bakeries close before 6, especially on Sundays. This shop is open until 9.
Their line system is a bit confusing. Especially if there are more than a couple people looking for help. They should have something roped off.
I am a fan and will be back.

I went here with a Groupon, which expired, so I still had a $ 10 credit. I went with a variety of 6 cupcakes for just under $ 15. They let me double dip with a 10% discount for checking in on Unilocal so the total came out to just over $ 14.
The frosting on the carrot cake was spot on and none of the cupcakes were really dry. The big problem I see here is the size of the cupcakes are uneven and the amount of frosting is really disproportionate to the size of the cupcakes. Also, the frosting completely slid off one of the cupcakes even though I didn’t swerve on the way home, where I ultimately kept them at room temperature. That said, I did go back here on at least two occasions after that incident and did not experience the same problem so maybe they fixed it.
The store front is big, clean, the place smells delicious and they do have a great variety. I just wish they would do away with the silly pencil and paper for placing orders. The staff behind the counter clearly do too. Every time I’ve been here they tell me to just tell them what I want.

Wish I looked this up on Unilocal first for the 10% off! Anyway, I’ve always been wanting to go here to check it out. This is the 4^th cupcake place in the area. However, I always end up going back to my fave one, mr. Cupcakes.
I like that they have a huge variety of cupcakes and ice cream! So many flavors to pick from. I wanted to get ones that my mom would like for her birthday so I went with the piña colada and the mango one. The piña colada cupcake was decorated so cutely! It looked like an actual piña colada cup with a cherry and pineapple on top and with a chocolate straw. Brownie points for presentation!
As for the taste, the frosting for the piña colada was a little hard but you could definitely taste the coconut and pineapple. The mango cupcake frosting was way too sweet and literally slid off the cupcake when I tilted it… That’s not supposed to happen. However the cake part was delicious, nice and soft and melted in my mouth.
They’re definitely doing something right, but they’re doing something terribly wrong too. I might be back to try the strawberry daiquiri cupcake cause it looked adorable.

First off, this place never moved, it’s always been on Route 3 (Allwood Road is behind it) but OK…
I find the cupcakes to just be OK. If I was with a friend who wanted to go here, I would get a cupcake, but I’m not going to go out of my way to come here. Also, they have two varieties of gluten free cupcakes (chocolate frosting and vanilla frosting) so my mom who has Celiac Disease has tried them. The first time, she said they were really good, then the next two times, they were very stale– crumbling cake and the frosting just fell off. We actually just went last night because she wanted cupcakes and I had to go back for her today to exchange them for new ones because of the staleness. They were very nice about it and apologized, but it’s really not acceptable to be a cupcake place and have stale cupcakes.
Overall, in my opinion, nothing amazing, but decent cupcakes.

Sweet tooth paradise! Ice cream, cookies, and of course cupcakes. Oh, and cupcake cakes and ice cream cookies naturally. Everything is customizable to some degree, and everything tastes amazing. The staff is patient and pleasant.
My favorites are the cookies. Such a great deal considering what you’re getting. Even the sandwich cookies which are basically two cookies count as one cookie.
Do what I do and pick up a bunch of deliciousness for relatively cheap, and you’ll be the hero.
