Best of the Best!
by cupcakequeen702
This place is amazing. I have for quite some time now been a Yummy Cupcakes fan. Sometimes it gets super busy, but what do you expect when everyone wants such amazing cupcakes! Their Red Velvet is the best in town and my personal favorite, the Fudge Yummy is an amazing chocolate cupcake, FILLED with GANACHE!!! It also has chocolate buttercream and these great chocolate sprinkles. I urge the people who had bad experiences there to try Yummy again, from my understanding they've undergone a bit of an management change, maybe that was the issue...because these cupcakes are AMAZING!!! I've tried a lot of cupcakes and this one takes the cake!
- Pros: Great family atmosphere, seating, friendly staff, DELICIOUS down home cupcakes like your mama would make, and the lowest priced cupcakes around!
- Cons: Sometimes a bit busy, but hey, what can you expect for deliciousness!

My teeth still hurt from the sugar...Not so "yummy"
by vlmSantaMonica
My boyfriend and I stopped in Yummy Cupcakes on Sat--and what a mistake. First off, it was around 6:30 and the sign on the door said that it was closed, though there were people inside, the hours posted indicated it was still to be open, and the door was unlocked..so we went in...as we waited in line while 3 bakers finally came to explain to us that it had been a busy day and all they had was displayed (maybe they didnt want to frost others so they closed?!?!)...ok, busy sunny Santa Monica day, I understand. We chose a vanilla vanilla, a signature Yummy Cupcake, and a vanilla with sprinkles. It literally took us 15 minutes to check out. Meanwhile, I sat down to an incredibly dirty and sticky table to watch this scene play out. The lady behind me was picking up an order that was supposed to be ready at 3:30, and it still wasn't ready. And because it was a busy day, I'm pretty sure they had sold her flavors of cupcake, but never mind, not my battle to fight. So after the 15 minutes of waiting patiently to pay without a mention of "I'm sorry for making you wait," my boyfriend brought me my cupcake. All could be forgiven if it was good. Ha! Honestly, and I'm sad I have to say this because I don't want to, but Vons makes a better cupcake. Maybe it's the fact that they're stored in the open, but the cake was DRY and the frosting was HARD. Oh, and let's not mention the overwhelming sugar frosting. It really make me sick afterwards. It's really sad because I'm a big supporter of local bakeries, but I'm better off at the other cupcake 4 blocks east. Cordon Bleu, really?
- Pros: Not any I can find
- Cons: Too many to count

Like eating dirt!
by anoncustomer5
I happened upon this place shopping on third street. Big mistake. The cake was so dry I could not swallow, even with the wax like frosting lubing my mouth. One or two bad ones in my 6 pack I would be alright with because I know people have different tastes, but the entire batch of 6 was not even eatable! It looks like they spent more on their name then anything else in there. You call that a red velvet? I had to actually double check that the box I bought was not a box of candles. I would rather eat a supermarket sheet cake iced with Crisco then put another thing you make into my mouth. Thanks for that experience Yucky Crud-cakes..
- Pros: Empty, word is getting out...
- Cons: Everything
