I've never had Happy Eatery's cupcakes, but they sell their petit fours for $2 a piece. Selling an half-inch block of sugar for $2 sorta discouraged me from trying anything else.

I agree with you Jamie. I was in a bind last December and went there to buy cupcakes for my husbands birthday. Had to take out a loan for the 6 cupcakes and my husbands response were that I could have made them better from a Betty Crocker box.

My favorites are the wedding cake and pink champagne, but you have to catch them on days when those are the specials. For the regular, everyday flavors, I love the peanut butter, oreo and red velvet!

@Erin many will say salted caramel pretzel but oreo is my favorite and they open tomorrow at 11am.

Blueberry is awesome. And carrot cake. And peanut butter. Unfortunately, I haven't met a cupcake at Confections that isn't great!

Confections by far the best cupcakery!!! If you thought Georgetown Cupcake was good (which I don't), you will definitely love Confections. Not a single cupcake is bad... the frosting is never to heavy and just compliments each cupcake flavor... it never over powers the cake itself. Their Red Velvet with butter cream is one of my favorites. They sell it with cream cheese frosting too.

P.S. Is anyone going to nominate Sugar Buzz in Occoquan?

No! When Sugar Buzz first opened in Occoquan, I bought $8 worth of items and they charged my credit card twice. They would not return my calls on it so my bank insisted on canceling the card. What a pain over $8 worth of cupcakes. Not a fan on Sugar Buzz!

I nominate Sugar Buzz in Occoquan. I am sorry they charged on person twice but accidents happen and their piña colada cupcake is wAy yummy.

Confections by far. Before trying confections, I didn't know what a good cupcake was.

Sugar Buzz in Occoquan. The best cupcakes and cakes. The Red Velvet is to die for

Sugar Buzz!! Lighter in texture and larger in size than most cupcakes in the county. Each week new flavor and baked fresh nightly!

Confections, hands down. Laura and her staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the customer service is wonderful. I had a craving for a cupcake that they were out of temporarily (the peanut butter and jelly), and Laura quickly whipped up some peanut butter buttercream and made me a PB&J cupcake on the spot. All of the flavors are so good, too...it seems like a lot of effort is put into perfecting the recipes for all of the cupcakes.

Confections. They delivered cupcakes to my daughters first birthday and the were hands down awesome

Best cupcakes are at Confections in Woodbridge. The salted caramel is addictive, of 6 flavors I have tried they are all so good. Never dried out cake, the perfect amount of frosting. The staff is cordial, Laura the owner is friendly, fun and gives back to local charities. I know she has helped the boy scouts this year with donations of gift certificates or cupcakes for events. Great business, great products, and even the facebook page is fun to look at.
