Colossal Cupcakes

Walked in on a Saturday at 2 and they said they no longer have gluten free options

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu

While I did not expect to have many options so late in the day, there were a few cupcakes to choose from and macaroons. Taste and consistency of both were pretty good, it was nice to be able to go to a place with my friends and also have an option of snack

After reading prior reviews I was very skeptical about trying colossal cupcakes. However, was craving a little something sweet and it was only a few blocks away so I decided to give it a try. The staff was very pleasant and they did in fact have gluten free cupcakes on this particular day. The cupcake itself was actually quite tasty and a nice surprise. Very good cake to frosting ratio… Most seem to have way too much frosting that is too sweet. They only make gluten-free on certain days so if you’re making a trip there you might want to call them before you head over unless you happen to be in the neighborhood. I will say, that the cupcakes could very easily be cross contaminated as this is not a gluten-free facility and they are stored right next to regular cupcakes

These cupcakes are all from scratch. I talked to the manager who said they stopped making gf for awhile until they could make them better. She has now worked out a recipe and they have gf cupcakes in a separate case with macarons. I had a strawberry cupcake that was super moist and had a light, airy frosting!

Just an FYI nothing is from scratch. They use box mixes from target and has it delivered by shipt. They also never help the del in wry people and order bulk. Then don’t even tip them. The water is target brand which they get a case for about $3-$5 and turn around and charge you $3 a bottle but can’t bigger tipping with that mark up. I would trust them to be celiac friendly as they have no regard for anyone’s well being regarding injury from their bulk orders why would they care if they gluten you? They are just greedy and their cupcakes are crap anyway.

Celiac friendly?

No

They only sometimes have anything gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

I don’t understand why they go to the trouble to make, advertise, and mark cupcakes gluten free! They are on the SAME TRAY as regular cupcakes, and therefore would NOT be safe for Celiacs or anyone with any level of sensitivity to gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place should not be advertising that they have gf cupcakes... They never do... Not even on a Friday like they say they do.

Celiac friendly?

No

No gf cupcakes! My husband said they were dry anyway!

only do the gluten on Friday or like 24 hour notice and you have to by a dozen for 30+

They don't always have GF cupcakes, but I think they usually do on Fridays/Saturdays... I'd call ahead to check. They are yummy cupcakes though! And the place is really girly and cute - a girly girl would definitely love it!

So the gluten free cupcakes are variably available on Fridays. I work downtown so I stop by occasionally when the sweet tooth hits. I generally prefer a different local place, since they only carry the generic vanilla or chocolate here. However today was a game changer. I stopped in and they had a flavor called Sunday Morning and I'm convinced I had a real cupcake! If they can carry moist flavor cupcake flavors like this more frequently I'll give them 5 stars :-)

No gluten free 😕 you can only be gluten free on Friday 😝

Gluten free cupcakes are only available (some) Friday's...if you are lucky. Have stopped by on three occasions and called once and have yet to have any luck.

Celiac friendly?

No

Happened to walk in to see if they had gluten free cupcakes and they did! Depending on the day they offer yellow cake with chocolate frosting or chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. So moist and yummy...and colossal :)
