Let me preface with…
Ya’ll know I’m not crazy about sweets, but for some reason I’ve become OBSESSED with trying this place out!
Remember last Sunday when I stopped at this place and it was SOLD OUT?!?!?!
Well – when I said I was going back first thing Friday morning – I wasn’t kidding!
Friday morning – on my day off – I made sure to wake up nice and early so I could get everything done that I wanted to in the morning, AND to make sure I was OUT THE DOOR, by 9:55, so that I could be at Main Street Cupcakes when it opened at 10am!
A little fun fact – they have over 150 CUPCAKES they can make, the list is seriously impressive.. Honestly – if you have a free second – check out their list of cupcakes on their website. Don’t get jealous – THEY SHIP ACROSS THE U.S.!!
When I got there, I walked in to – and a case FULL of cupcakes!!!! SWOON!
I have a slight obsession with the appearance of the “Birthday Cake” cupcakes – the sprinkles just look SO perfect!
They had 13 flavors – so I ordered EVERYTHING they had Friday morning, with the exception of “Classic Chocolate”. Everything else sounded so cool – I couldn’t skip something like “MSC Fluff” or “Petal Cupcake” for “Classic Chocolate”. Sorry Classic Chocolate!
I walked away with my highly coveted dozen…
…and drove them straight over to the recipient – my Momma (I surprised her at work!)
Sure I’m partial – but isn’t she seriously the cutest Mom of the face of this earth??? Seriously!!!! LOVE HER!!!!
(see my stunna shades in the bottom left corner? Told ya I was cool!
)
The dozen:
First six
Bottom row: (L to R) Chocolate Peanut Butter, Mint Chocolate Chip, Birthday Cake
Next Row: (L to R) MSC Fluff, Red Velvet, Lemon Drop
Second six
“3rd row” (L to R): Half Baked, Bubble Gum, Chocolate Malt
“4th row” (L to R): Classic Vanilla, Wedding Cake, Petal Cupcake
Just look at that frosting!!!!
SO, SO, SO, SO DELICIOUS – I totally see what all the local rave is about! These cupcakes are seriously FANTASTIC! The entire GDW family approves!
I actually ended up going to the Hudson store on Saturday (totally unplanned, was out with Kristin, wedding dress shopping), and picked up 2 more cupcakes!!
Mike got to try the “Cookies and Cream” and totally fell in love.
Well – as a dude, he described it much differently than “I totally fell in love”
– he said that it tasted “awesome”, and described it as “a chocolate cupcake topped with a HUGE glob of Oreo filling” which would make anyone happy, right?
If you are ever in Rocky River or Hudson – you should DEFINITELY make sure to check out Main Street Cupcakes – but MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE EARLY! Their cupcakes are so popular and amazing – both locations sell out daily! Need I say more? Does that fact speak for itself?
Oh yeah – and fan them on FB if you get the chance!!!

If you look on their “Locations” page, you’ll see that Parma is SMACK IN THE MIDDLE of the map between Rocky River and Hudson! It’s probably a good thing that they are not closer: I could easily make that place a weekly habit!
I love your comment about the “guy comment”. While I’m apt to go into a long winded description about seasonings, Hans says things like “it was good” or “yeah, I liked it”. It’s night and day!

OMG, if they had a place like that where I live, I think I would be eating cupcakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day!

Obvs, Main Street Cupcakes was not factored into the decision when naming Cleveland worst city to live in. Portland doesn’t even have a cupcake shop that nice!

MSC did my wedding and people are still talking about those cupcakes almost 3 years later.
My favorite-Toffee and Coffee. It’s heaven on earth. Seriously.
Guess where I am eating lunch today? Main Street Cupcakes!!!

[...] Allison at Green Dog Wine made me aware of this bakery with locations in Rocky River and Hudson, but I hadn’t experienced them first hand until Friday night. Hans snagged a pumpkin cupcake, which he later said was the best thing he ate all night. Alas, when we went back for seconds, the folks at MSC were completely cleared out! [...]
