Review from Timea I.

So divinely, finger-licking, slip smacking delicious it'll leave you in a sugar coma!
I barely have a sweet tooth but I could eat these things all day. With everyone making cupcakes nowadays I'm used to the over-priced, Betty Crocker tasting things most places sell. My usual reaction is a resounding and unimpressed "meh"... not worth the calories.
Not this place... you can just taste the quality of the ingredients and the freshness. With 6 types to choose from daily and a rotating menu they cater to every taste. I particularly like the little cupcakes so I can try more flavours at a time.
I will be back, many times over. -

Me and my friend decided to go on a cupcake adventure by starting off our first visit at Cupid's Gourmet Cupcakes. Let's just say that the trip from Mississauga to Oakville was worth the trip!
The cupcake shop is very small and can get quite crowded very quickly. I decided to buy a half dozen box of full-sized cupcakes, which cost $12.90 (no tax). My friend bought the half dozen box of mini-sized cupcakes, which cost $6.60 (no tax). The 3 flavours that we both decided to get were The Prince, The Princess, and Red Velvet.
I've only ate 2 so far so I can't review the red velvet cupcake just yet. The cakes are moist and the frosting is quite sweet. I'm not a huge fan of sweets so I thought the frosting was a bit too sweet for my liking. Between the prince and princess, I preferred the prince more...probably because chocolate is my preferred flavour over vanilla. Now that I think about it, I think I should've bought the mini-sized cupcakes...cupcake overload!Listed in: Cupcakes Galore!

Really pretty cupcakes. Really delicious cupcakes. Really small storefront - I've never gone without seeing a lineup.
Usually 5-6 varieties to choose from and they seem to change daily. Wee pumpkin pie tarts available in the fall. Red velvet w/ cream cheese frosting seems to be a staple.
Watch how much you buy, though. 3 dozen + 6 mini cupcakes will hit you for $80+. -

I love those Mini Cupcakes ($1.10) from Cupid's Gourmet Cupcakes.
They are so pretty, colourful and just look great for the photos.
I found my Prince (Signature chocolate buttermilk cake, dreamy blue vanilla frosting, chocolate shavings) here!!
I Heart Canada (Maple and cinnamon cake, pure maple syrup frosting, cinnamon sugar sprinkles) is great for Canada Day!!
The cakes were both moist with great texture and the frosting has perfect sweetness.
And thinking about it, I should have got 6 of them for $1 each with no tax so I can try more flavours! -

I think a Cupid hit one of the local Oakville Elites with a cup-shape arrow.
Really cute. Really sweet. Really moist. No not him, I'm talkin' cupcake.
I wish I could be there to witness the $80+ purchase worth of cupcake. -

Still in love. We just got six dozen minis for various of the birthday celebrations this week, and I forked over $70 with hardly a pang. /Plus/, upon request, they made each of the six boxes a mix of flavors, rather than just giving me one box of each flavor (since they were for different events). So helpful. So tasty.

Review from Michael P.
Oakville, ON
Wow. I used to think that the Black Forrest Bakery made the best cupcakes in Oakville. I wouldn't feed those to my enemies now that Cupid's is in town. These cupcakes are irresistible! They have many flavors to try out and you can get one of two sizes; your regular cupcake size, or a mini version. My favorite flavor is the "Bananas for Butterscotch". Delicious! What's cool is that they have a daily menu, so you should check twice before heading over to make sure your favorite is being baked on that particular day. My only complaint is that the supply for these cupcakes has a hard time keeping up with the demand. I have gone a couple times late in the afternoon only to discover that they are out of stock and have closed early. Mucho disappointing. Otherwise, a perfect snack!
