Pink Cupcake Shack

Often, there is not a cupcake I don’t like. Most times any cupcake is better than no cupcake. Anyway, Pink’s cupcakes are excellent.

I like pink cupcake shack because it’s convenient but I tend to be unimpressed…
Particularly in their decorating I’ve ordered two cakes and many cupcakes for my children’s birthday parties. I never get that expert look– especially for the price. I have seen them decorate beautiful wedding cakes but the birthday cake realm seems to be inconsistent. Taste wise I like their red velvet (cream cheese icing isn’t too sweet) and their cannoli (the cannoli is pretty good). The lighter cupcakes are dense almost muffin like though– I would seriously suggest sticking to their darker cake options. And I appreciate that you don’t feel granulated sugar in their frostings.
One of the cakes I purchased was funfetti and that was a surprise for being not as dense.
I also like that in comparison to a crumbs cupcake which I always cut in half these are the right size for one person.
I have never had a problem picking up my orders but I have had bad experiences with rude customers. It’s a small shop and once a woman was literally hovering over me– I could feel her breathing on me. and another time a different woman kept trying to talk over me to the woman who was helping me (I was there first) but she was professional. Since then I try to pick up at odd hours.

Pink Cupcake created a beautiful cake for a wedding. I’m not a red velvet fan, but the bride is, so I sampled red velvet cupcakes wherever I could find them in Fairfield County. Pink Cupcake’s was over the top delicious. Pink Cupcake did a four layer cake for us and they were terrific about making sure we considered options for different layer flavors, decorations etc. At the reception, guests raved about how delicious the cake was.

The best cupcakes around, and Diane is a pleasure to work with.
Admittedly, I wasn’t terribly impressed the first time I went in the store when they first opened. I chalked it up to the Shack finding their groove since I went in the first week they were open, and decided to give them another try after about 6 months. Boy am I glad I did! Their cupcakes are consistently outstanding. So much so that I had them make cupcakes for my wedding and a cake for my rehearsal dinner. Worked with Diane on this and she was so easygoing, and needed very little direction about what to do. The cake was the LEAST stressful thing about my wedding because of Diane.
I go to them all the time now for cupcakes when I need them and people absolutely rave about them. One of my best friends demands a cupcake or two from the Shack every time she visits from NY, she still talks about how good they were at my wedding.
There is a reason this cupcake shop has survived for nearly 6 years now while so many go out of business!!! They are the real deal. Try the cannoli cream, I swear I dream about those!
My only complaint is that I wish they had better hours, being open a little later on Thursdays or Fridays would be great!

One of the worst experience of my life. Not only in a bakery but in general customer service. What a disappointment.

Who doesn’t like cupcakes? Moist little delicious cake with a flavorful top! A solid cupcake place if your in the area.
(I personally think the topping/​frosting is a little too sweet and think they should stay open a little later-​most people get off work at 5 –and they are already closed)

Chocolate heaven was found in the two cupcakes I purchased yesterday… sampled the Cannoli Cream one first, which was a chocolate cupcake topped with cannoli cream filling, so out of this world! The second one was the Black Out, simply put as super duper chocolate all around, topped with the cutest candied blue heart! Both cupcakes were delicious, very moist! It was busy when I stopped in but that’s okay because everyone seemed to be getting their «cupcake» on, or picking up cupcakes or cakes for their special occasion (s)!
I was hoping to get a «turtle» cupcake for my fiancé when I stopped in but alas, it was not on the list of cupcakes for the day as they rotate different flavors.

A little gem hidden in downtown Fairfield!
I came across this place about a year or 2 ago as I was looking for a place other than Crumbs to buy cupcakes. It’s a small shop, just enough room for the kitchen, display case and maybe a small table for 2.
Every time I go in, the staff is always super friendly, just as you would imagine bakery staff to be. Not only do they have a (small, yet amazing) assortment of cupcakes, they also have cake pops and cookies.
I always get the pink velvet, which is one of their signature cupcakes. It’s light, fluffy and the frosting is to die for!
Usually they have 2 or 3 flavors that they always sell, and a few others that rotate.
The pricing is reasonable, and the cupcakes are the perfect size.
They also do specially cakes. Follow them on Facebook/​Instagram for daily updates as to which flavors are going to be sold the next day!

Have to say I was a little skeptical turning to a cupcake place for my sons Christening cake. But I like variety, and they seemed to be reasonably priced compared to the some of the other bakeries, so I said why not, I’ll take a risk… And I’m glad I did.
The owner was incredibly friendly. We sent her a pic of what we were looking for on the cake… We needed a 12″ round for about 30 people. Some fondant work, a large fondant bow, detail work with his name on it. We asked about flavors, they informed they can do virtually any flavor (over 50 flavors of cakes). She talked us through some options, and with her suggestion we went with a blueberry cake with fresh blueberries and a brown sugar meringue filling, topped with a meringue on the outside. Still skeptical, but after hearing how it was perfect for the hot weather, and how it tasted like a blueberry pancake, we were sold (they can do anything… If you’re not as daring as we are, they can easily pull off traditional flavors as well).
I’ll cut to the chase. There wasn’t a single person who didn’t comment on how unbelievable the cake was. 30 people, everyone loved it. Not only did it look great, it tasted even better. I’m not really a cake person… And I think I went back for thirds. And as far as the flavor combination, great pick. Not overly sweet, but more fresh. Blueberry pancakes all the way.
Seriously we have found out new cake place here. Do yourself a favor and pass on all of the other overpriced bakeries in Fairfield and just go here. We could not have been happier, and I know you all will be too.
*BTW, if you look at the pics, you’ll see some cracks in the fondant and other very small imperfections… This was our error, not theirs. I underestimated how carefully you have to drive with a cake in your trunk :/​… Still looked great and tasted awesome!

Love their cupcakes, they’re the perfect size and super moist, and their cream cheese frosting is light and fluffy.
The only thing I was skeptical about was their staff. I figured this was the place where High School and College students flock to for employment, it’s clearly apparent, but I’m not very fond of their attitude towards customers.
I get it, it’s Fairfield, we live in a very wealthy town, and you work at a boutique cupcake shop, how cute, but going forward, put your snooty attitude aside for just a few hours and be nicer to those who are financing your paychecks, thank you.

I was incredibly impressed with my son’s birthday cake! We had a minecraft themed party and I assumed I would need to walk them through the concept. I was wrong! Not only did they nail the look of his birthday cake, it’s been over a year and my family is STILL talking about how delicious it was!

I was introduced to Pink Shack through attending a child’s birthday party and when it came time for cake, I reluctantly took a slice because I am usually not a big birthday cake person. The cake I was handed at this party ended up being the some of the best birthday cake I ever tried. It was on another level. A few days later I took my young daughters to Pink Shack because I couldn’t stop thinking about the cake. We got 4 cupcakes to take home and try and I ate 2 in the car because I couldn’t wait. My personal favorites are the Pink Velvet and the Cannoli Cream which they always have available. The cake is very dense and moist– I disagree very much so with reviewers who said they have a muffin like texture. I would say the opposite. Their cream cheese icing is incredible. Some of the cupcake flavors have lighter whipped icings and if I had to make one negative comment, it would be that I don’t care for the lighter whipped icings, texture wise. I wish all the icings were thicker. However, flavor is always on point. We’ve returned several times and I ordered 24 minis for my daughters 4^th bday party. The staff has always been friendly and efficient. Great job, Pink Shack, you have something special going on!

Great cupcakes had an assortment of cupcakes and was impressed with all of them! Salted Carmel was top notch

After having lunch at Molto nearby, we decided to give it a try. The other half isn’t much of a bakery fan, but I on the other hand love me some cupcakes. They have a cupcake that I was like… Whoa. I need that. The Baconator.
Presentation is fantastic, though it irks me when frosting isn’t to the edge, I won’t take that away from anything in this rating as it seems to be an industry standard to only frost ¾ of a cupcake nowadays.
My main complaint with the cupcakes (bought around 2pm) was that it was dry. The texture was more like a muffin than a cupcake. It wasn’t very moist at all. In addition, the bacon was floppy. I personally feel in a cake/​cupcake, if you add bacon, it should be crispy to add that bite of texture in an otherwise chewy item. The flavor of the bacon was average. Maybe a maple, or smoked bacon to give it a more distinguishing flavor would have been good.
Not to say the cupcake wasn’t yummy. It was. I just don’t think it was anything special. Doubt i’d make a specific trip there at any point, but if in the area (and they are actually open, they close quite early, especially when there are two very popular eateries close to cater to desert crowds) i may drop in and see what flavors are available.

We bought a slew of different mini cupcakes in a cupcake tower for our wedding reception, and were so pleased with the outcome! All of our guests greatly enjoyed the sight of the cupcakes in their tower, and the taste of each flavor was incredible! Thanks for adding to the memories of our event!

Decided to check this place out today after having lunch at Mecha next door. I can see why the reviews might be a little lower for the service, but the actual cupcakes are pretty good.
I got a small sample of coconut caramel, but I didn’t really enjoy the combination. I ended up buying a red velvet cupcake. The cake was moist and fluffy. The frosting was perfectly light and just on the edge of being almost too sweet for my liking.
I liked the red velvet here MUCH better than most bakeries… usually they are way too sweet or the frosting is too dense. They make it the way I like it here, and it was the perfect dessert to end lunch with!
The girl at the counter seemed really confused though… almost like she was doing too many things at once. She took my friend’s order and then went back to work making cake decorations without taking mine. We were waiting for another 5 minutes before she came back, apologized, and asked if I wanted anything.

I have been bringing Pink Cupcake’s treats to customers for months and I can tell you, the proof is in the pudding… or the frosting! I have customers in New Jersey who beg me to bring more treats from PCS. If I show up there with some local cupcakes after traveling all day, they are very disappointed. A colleague offered cupcakes from Manhattan and they refused, saying that they wouldn’t even come close to Pink’s. They even tried to get them shipped! On my last visit, I brought a big pink box and the ladies were happy. So happy, I got more orders!
At another office a customer said the cupcakes were «off the hook» and he’s always excited when I bring a box of the mini-​cupcakes.
I have to say that every time I visit, everyone is super nice and they always offer a free sample mini! How can you not smile about that?
I have been to about 8 cupcake shops in the past year and Pink’s are by far the most popular. I love the six pack of minis, which let people try a few different flavors. I know that the Red Velvet is a big hit with my peeps. And the cannoli one, too! I’ve had a few samples and they were all excellent.
It’s been a long winter and everyone deserves a cupcake. So, head on over to the Brick Walk and pick up your pink box of yumminess! The little pink box may not be the same as the little light blue box, but you’re guaranteed to make someone happy tonight!
Oh, and the icing on the cake? PCS won an award and their wedding cake will be featured in a bride magazine. How cool is that?
Thanks to the Pink Ladies for making my customers happy!

As a long time Fairfield resident up until 2002, I like to venture out back into town to see the new business that opened. This part of Fairfield is fast becoming the posh areas of new trendy places to eat. Next door is Mecha Noodle Bar and near Flipside and Geronimo’s – Pink Shack is in a great location. It’s small, with two tables that seat 2. I ordered 4 different cupcakes, a pink colored one (I assume is leftover from the Valentine’s Day batch, cookies and cream, hazelnut and chocolate swirl. The cake part is not as soft, consistent more to a muffin. The icing is not heavy cream but is flavored well. It’s not as sweet – but for someone who has a sweet tooth – I like to taste the sugar since it is after all a cupcake. The staff is friendly enough, (in a Fairfield sort of way). I like Fairfield though I don’t like how stuffy it’s become.

My mother in law and I went to the Pink Cupcake Shack to order Cupcakes and Cake Pop’s for my baby shower. I have to say they did a fantastic job with the design of both the cupcakes and the cake pops. We had branded the shower by using the baby carriage that was on our invitations and kept that as a consistent theme throughout including having custom made runners for the shower (my aunt made the runners).
I was VERY particular about the shade of pink for my shower and Cupcake Shack nailed it with the color of the carriage and the letters on the cake pops. We ordered five different cupcake flavors for a total of 50 cupcakes and vanilla on vanilla for the cake pops. The cake pops were the best I’ve ever had — super moist and full of flavor. They individually wrapped these for us so that we could give them out as a favor. I would definitely go back to the Pink Cupcake Shack for another event!

Oh no! Poor Pink Cupcake Shack! What’s with all the negative reviews?
I have not ordered their cupcakes to go, so I cannot comment on the catering aspect. However, I did go in here yesterday, and I thought the cupcakes were yummy and very reasonably priced. This is the way to do it: Get their free sampler (FREE! FREE CUPCAKES! WOOT!) – yesterday’s was tiramisu, and it was delicious. Then get their Sampler package – 6 mini cupcakes (pink velvet, red velvet, samoa, hostess-​look-​alike, chocolate, and salted caramel) – and then, well, EAT THEM. This sampler is only $ 6. SIX BUCKS FOR SIX YUMMY CUPCAKES. Sign me up.
Then, after you have decided which cupcake you like, buy the regular-​sized ones ($ 2.50 ish).
After that, you should feel pretty happy (especially if this is right after you’ve had delicious ramen next door at Mecha Noodle).
Have a nice cupcake day, everybody!
