Cupcake Allie

Had I started this review after tasting the first cupcake, my daughter’s choice of birthday cake (yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting), I probably would have given this spot a 2.5÷3 stars. Had I started it after tasting my son’s choice of chantilly strawberry, I would have given it a solid 3 stars. Both weren’t bad – just not great. HOWEVER, I am so glad I chose to write it after tasting *my* choice, the pecan pie cupcake, which pretty much rocked my world. Amazingly delicious combination of flavors that truly resembles those found in pecan pie – moist pecan cake with the yummiest topping – the sugar almost has a crystallized-​texture that is simply divine. I would probably eat that topping straight out of a jar. I admit, I am a bit snobby about cupcakes – having lived in Houston for a long time with a favorite local spot there, I haven’t quite found a place in BR that compares. But, if that pecan pie one is on the menu – or if there is another to compare – I shall be returning to Cupcake Allie frequently! Works out perfectly, as my kid takes dance next door;) Maybe they will «wow» me with the other flavors and bump that rating up to 5 stars!
**Update: They changed the pecan pie on me and the others were dry. I’m not much of a fan. New pecan one was lacking that original filling I loved – more of a jelly-​ish topping rather than the original crystallized sugar they had working for them – and flavor wasn’t as great. Chantilly was the best this time, but I just am not too impressed. Darn.

First off let me ask this: who doesn’t love a good gourmet cupcake or two? Secondly, who doesn’t like food trucks? There fun and hip. Thirdly, who doesn’t like cupcake trucks? They are cute and easily accessible. I came across the Cupcake Allie food truck at the White Light Night event and I was super excited to try some cupcakes from here. We tried the chocolate and the wedding cake and both were aesthetically pleasing to look at and tasted pretty darn good. They were fluffy and moist and the icing was light and airy. It almost had a cool whip texture but tasted so much better. Something to note is that we paid 11 dollars for 4 although the website says 10 dollars for 4. Not completely a big deal but still worth mentioning.

Love the Pecan Pie cupcakes and the Banana Foster the best, but I have my eye on the Strawberry Chantilly for my next trip. I’ve been a Food Truck customer for a while but this was my first visit to the shop. Allie herself greeted me when I walked in and told me more cupcakes were on the way (customers had cleaned the shelves moments b4 I arrived). I wanted to try a new flavor but there it was… the PECAN PIE cupcake. A devilishly rich and tasty cupcake that any Pecan Pie lover will immediately fall in love with. So of course I ordered one and consumed it slowly, savoring every moment.

I love this local biz! Part of the charm is Allie. She’s a creative hardworking entrepreneur set on diversifying the dining choices in BR. Yep, her yummy cupcakes are a hit and so she is gonna give BR a chance to enjoy them four ways, her Food Truck, the storefronts (yep, plural cause there will be another on Nicholson soon), catering and the Flagship café (with wine, breakfast and other Lagniappe) set to open in Mid City early 2016 (maybe even sooner). I mean am I dreaming or what? Wine and dessert, I’m in!

Um, hi. Can I just ask you for a tiny favor? Can I move in? What? Is that weird? I just want to fondle the cupcakes all day and night. No? Oh, alright then.
Thankfully I’ll be able to go during normal business hours and buy all the cupcakes I want to and fondle them in the privacy of my own car before eating them all up quicker than you can say «cup». And who am I kidding? The cupcakes here are so good they’ll never even make it to the car.
I had a Death By Chocolate and a Chantilly Strawberry, the chocolate was great but the strawberry knocked my socks of. It’s vanilla flavored topped with a strawberry and has a strawberry baked inside. So dang good!
I thought they were a little expensive at $ 3 each, but worth spurging on for a special treat every once in a while. Service was friendly and fast.
If you’re in the area and have a sweet craving try Cupcake Allie out!

After reading reviews for cupcake Allie, I was excited to finally try them! I had a sweet tooth and made a quick stop on my return to work. Parking was not good, but I will admit to being spoiled by easy access in Baton Rouge.
I was warmly greeted and scoped out the dessert case to make my selection. I wanted to try the ice cream stuffed cupcake, but unfortunately only one flavor was available and I wasn’t interested in that one.
I settled upon «death by chocolate», a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing. I hope they were having an off day, because if this was an example of the others — there is absolutely no way i will return. The icing was extremely dense, overpowering and reminded me of store bought icing. The bottom part of the cake was very dry. I assumed most were made daily, but there is no way it could have been baked that day, unless it was overcooked.
I ate two bites and threw it away. It just wasn’t good at all. I was very disappointed.
I am giving three stars because service was nice, packaging was very nice and it’s a cute shop.

I share the same sentiment as Kim from Walker. I went to Cupcake Allie today and ordered six cupcakes. The selection was very limited which was the first disappointment. I ordered the birthday cake, wedding cake, red velvet, and double chocolate or death by chocolate — I don’t remember the name of the last one — but it was a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing. I tried the birthday cake flavored cupcake first. There was nothing birthday cake flavored about it. It did have a few sprinkles on the top, but it was the flavor of a boxed yellow cake. The icing was dense like store-​bought icing and the taste was the same as store-​bought cupcakes. Some of them were misshaped and none of them were bakery quality. I was very disappointed in the quality. They were dry like they were days old. The presentation was not impressive at all. Not one of them were delicious. For $ 2.50 a cupcake, I would expect better. The energy of the employees was low as well. Lastly, I ordered a coffee. It was a Keurig machine and the coffee was very weak. I’ve had better complimentary coffee at Albertsons. I was very disappointed and won’t be going back. I felt like they must have baked the cupcakes at home in their own oven and brought the leftovers to work. I ended up throwing them away. They were not worth the calories.

Im a cupcake connoisseur! Self proclaimed as I may be. Any who I had the pleasure of visiting the cupcake truck and trying the pecan pie cupcake as well as the wedding cake. First off, customer service was great and truck is SUPER cute. Now fur The cupcakes… The pecan pie cuppy was MY FAVE. It was extremely unique and unlike any other cupcake I’ve tried before. The top of the cupcake has this crisp crust-​like texture reminiscent of a pie crust. In the center there is a gem of praline-​y goodness topped with a pecan. My only complaint is that I should have gotten more than one. I def enjoyed the pecan pie cuppy more than the wedding cake but the wedding cake was light and moist. I absolutely plan to revisit… on a cheat day! Lol

I love this place! My daughter and I have a standing date with friends here each week. There are always many delicious flavors to choose from. My favorites are birthday cake and wedding cake. Allie’s cake balls are also fantastic.
There is a small menu of drinks to enjoy as well.
The wonderful staff will box your treats to go.
Awesome place!

Cupcake Allie is DELICIOUS! I’ve had their peanut butter cupcakes, Mounds coconut cupcakes and their pumpkin spice cupcakes. They’re always moist and delectable. If you’re looking for cupcakes, you’re in for a treat because I highly recommend this place!

This review is long overdue… I met Allie and won a box of her cupcakes as a door prize at a Unilocal event months ago. The cupcakes tasted as good as they looked. They were cute and decorated nicely. The aesthetics of the packaging looked great making these cupcakes fantastic gifts. I could tell Allie has a passion for creating new cupcake recipes.

Allie is a creative baker! Her cupcakes will wow your taste buds and she has no limitations in what she will work with to create something different! I love her Red Velvet! Definitely a must do in Baton Rouge!

Ordered chocolate and vanilla for a birthday party. Asked for the cupcakes to be decorated for a birthday, got a few sprinkles on the chocolate and 2 different color icing on the vanilla. I picked them up the day before the party and felt that they were dry when we ate them the next day. The vanilla cupcakes were really dry and tasted almost like a sponge cake, not what I wanted. The chocolate were almost like a brownie but weren’t overly sweet, very dense. I felt there was too much icing on the cupcakes. Overall, the vanilla were too dry and the chocolate were just ok. I probably won’t order from here again.

Cute little place off of Perkins (south of Acadia Thruway) to stop by, for a delicious sugar high, that specialize in gourmet cupcakes. First time I have tried pecan pie and key lime cupcakes. Different flavors pop up frequently! Also, offers Gluten Free cupcakes.

This is certainly not the everyday cupcake shop! The flavor combinations are amazing! Cupcake Allie has so many unique cupcakes on the menu, but they are constantly adding new creations daily.
The most impressive thing about this shop is that everything is made from scratch. You can tell the difference too! You won’t find any box cakes or pre-​made fillings at Cupcake Allie!
This is definitely a hit for the BR area!

Cupcake cafes are a dime-​a-​dozen these days; however, there are a select few that actually leave a lasting impression! This lovely shoppe was tucked away in the Acadian/​Perkins Plaza (never really noticed this until I was told about this cupcake shoppe). The moment I walked in, I was greeted by smiling faces and a friendly staff! I ended up buying 3 cupcakes — the lemon (which my daughter ate all by herself), the pecan praline (my absolute favorite) and the vanilla.
Yes, I am gonna go on and on about the Pecan Praline. OMG… if you love pecan pie and cupcakes… this is definitely heavenly and you will be on cloud nine after this! My only complaint was that the cupcake paper/​wrapper was not edible because I would have eaten that, too! This was such a perfect combination of a cupcake — the form of it & a pecan pie — the crunch texture. Amazing and delightful, this concoction was topped with pecan frosting & a pecan in addition to being filled with more pecan goodness!
I got to briefly speak with the owner, Allie, who was super sweet and friendly! She was telling me all the wonderful developments with «Cupcake Allie» and what the future holds for them! I love hidden gems and I hope you all can come check this place out… they definitely have my heart and now my go-​to place for mini, paper-​wrapped confections that pack giant personality!
