great chocolate goodies

by AlSoforenko at Citysearch

Nieghbors of ours recently visited the LA area and brought us back a box of Chocolate Truffles from the Yummy shop They were great. Come to find out that my cousins are the owners of the business. Their Dad and myself were long time firends starting in college. The coincidence plus the delicious Truffles was wonderful. Our best wishes to the Yummy crew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dry Cupcakes

by smileymetoo at Citysearch

I love cupcakes and had searched for bakeries that specializes in cupcakes after having tried several excellent ones throughout Greater L.A. I came across a listing for Yummy's that touted great cupcakes and tried it over the weekend, but I was highly disappointed by their dryness. I had purchased 5 different types and all had the same dry texture so I won't be going back, especially when each of the cupcakes were about three bucks a piece.

good, not sanitary.

by jennifermonteiro at Citysearch

I think they are very good. My friend thinks they are too sweet. I do agree with another poster that they are not sanitary. Last time I was there I saw a server take some extra mint frosting off the side of a displayed cupcake and lick it off her finger. I guess she thought nobody was looking.

• Pros: yummy
• Cons: not sanitary

Good cupcakes, but kind of far away from it all

by foodie114 at Citysearch

Unless you live in or near Burbank, Yummy Cupcakes is a bit of a drive. I'm from the downtown L.A. area and normally stick to the Beverly Hills and West Hollywood areas for food outings. Even though the cupcakes here are good, the icing was very greasy. It may be worth a stop if I'm in the area already, but definitely not a whole trip. Prices are very reasonable though!

• Pros: Price
• Cons: Location, greasy icing

Yucky cupcakes

by millsmgnt at Citysearch

On the day of a big meeting I had I went into Yummy Cupcakes, after having left Auntie Em's in Eagle Rock with nothing due to issues with "cleanliness". I had only heard about Yummy from my Post Office and they said it was better than Sprinkles in Beverly Hills. Sprinkles handles a lot of my business, so with me in a bind, I thought I would give them a try. It looked clean - how can you screw up a cupcake. Long story short, the cupcakes were horrible. I was so embarrassed to have brought those into the studio. The icing was disgusting. Cupcakes from the grocery store are better.

• Pros: Nice Service. friendly Employees! Ample parking!
• Cons: Yucky cupcakes!

Good tasting but not sanitary.

by SCres at Citysearch

Cupcakes are sweet but dry, with the flavoring coming from the icing. Hugh choice of variety, but service is a little slow. They are not sanitary. I saw a server taking fresh cupcakes from the oven and putting them on the counter with her bare hands, and the servers put the cupcakes in the boxes without plastic shields or gloves, just their hands.

• Pros: Wide variety of cupcakes, parking, friendly.
• Cons: unsanitary, slow service.

Crummy Cupcakes

by antibesbebe at Citysearch

I can't believe this place was considered the best of Citysearch. I've tried several cupcakes from Crumbs in Beverly Hills, Violet's in Pasadena, Auntie Em's Kitchen in Eagle Rock, and The cupcakery in Las Vegas and they are way better compared to this bakery. Not only was the service slow (we waited 15 mins to get our cupcakes when there was only one lady ahead of us who ordered 5 cupcakes) and unfriendly (the girl in the tattoo didn't even want to help us) but the place smelled funny and was stuffy inside. Furthermore, the cleaning mop was in plain view behind the cupcakes. Despite the service and aesthetics, I also had the worst cupcakes in the world. The cupcakes were extremely dry, bland, and hard as a rock. Most of the taste came from the frosting, which was too sweet. The cupcakes I make from store bought powder mix are even better than what this place had to offer. However, I must acknowledge that of the four cupcakes I had, only one was decent (the one with fudge inside), not excellent. Because of the inconsistent quality of the cupcake, I do not recommend this place to anyone. Eating a cupcake from here is a waste of calories and a huge disappointment. If you're in the area and have a sweet tooth, skip this place and head down to Porto's, which is on the same street where the baked goods are amazing.

• Pros: promoting the cupcake craze
• Cons: cupcakes do not taste good, slow service, looks dirty inside

Pretty Bad

by agalstia at Citysearch

Yummy Cupcakes was nothing compared to Sprinkles in Beverly HIlls. I tried the chocolate chip cupcake at Yummy Cupcakes and it was sickeningly sweet. I couldn't even get to the cake part because the frosting was so overpowering. It just tasted like globs of sugar mixed with a little bit of butter and smothered over an average cake. It was definitely not worth the calories nor my time.

• Pros: parking
• Cons: unfriendly service, poor quality cupcakes

BEST CUPCAKES I'VE EVER HAD, FROSTING IS BUTTERCREAM LUST!

by oddria at Citysearch

I'M NOT MUCH INTO CUPCAKES BUT PULLED OVER AND HAD A GO. i'M SO GLAD I DID! I ATE LITERALLY 3 IN A ROW. THE FROSTING WAS SOOOOOOOO GOOD! IT WAS BUTTERCREAM PERFECTED. FORGET ABOUT THOSE CHEAPY, SUGAR CLOYING MESSES YOU BUY AT SUPERMARKETS. THESE ARE THE REAL DEAL! I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE CHOCOLATE CAKE W/ CHOCOLATE FROSTING. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING, IT WAS SINFUL! I CAN SAY I FIND REASONS JUST TO DRIVE DOWN MAGNOLIA TO PULL IN!
