The boutique cupcakery opened up in Rocklin, Calif. in 2007 and has since grown from one small corner shop to now three locations - one in Midtown Sacramento and another in Folsom, Calif. Rumor has it another local location is also in the works.
Lucky for me and my sweet tooth, Icing on the Cupcake is located next door to where I work.
It’s all about the details at this local dessert shop, from the decorative cake toppers to the stickers that dress up the otherwise plain brown packaging. When I picked up the latest flavor, the sticker read: “Hey there, cupcake!” I love the personality this small dessert shop has.
The cupcake menu is full of yummy flavors. Daily flavors include two of my favorites – their chocolate cake topped with a pink vanilla buttercream frosting called Pinkdelicious and Chocolate Mint, a chocolate cake frosted with peppermint buttercream. Some of their other flavors include PB & J, Carrot Cake, Blueberry Cheesecake, Maple Bacon and Cookies ‘n Cream.
A new flavor is also introduced each month, this month, in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, they’ve baked up an Irish Cream cupcake - an Irish cream-infused cake topped with Irish cream buttercream frosting and specks of shamrock sprinkles. This one was hard to resist. The cake was moist and sweet and almost had maple syrup flavor.
Since I work next door, I can constantly smell them baking up a storm and it’s so tempting to stop in for an after work pick-me-up. I like to get two flavors and cut them into bite size pieces so that Alex and I can share the two mini cakes. So when I picked up the Irish cream cake, I had to pick up one of their customer favorites – Red Velvet. I love the cream cheese frosting that tops this red cake – it’s very sweet but so good!
