The Cupcake Collection is located in the quaintest of neighborhoods in Nashville. Historic Germantown has all sorts of charm and is the perfect location for this cupcake bakery. The cupcakery is in an old home festively painted purple with an adorable orange sign outside. There is even a delightful porch where you can sit, enjoy the sites and nosh on their products.
To say the people who work at the Cupcake Collection are extremely nice and friendly is one of the understatements of the year. They take Southern hospitality and charm to a level I have rarely experienced. They great each customer as if they are Odysseus coming home from the Trojan War. When you enter the Cupcake Collection your senses are flooded with the euphoric smell of freshly baked cupcakes and a “hey yall” from all the employees within eyesight.
In the over saturated cupcake market, the Cupcake Collection stands alone in saying NO to overpriced cupcakes. They only charge $1.50 for their yummy treats. Yes. I will say it again. They charge one dollar and fifty cents for cupcakes! One hundred and fifty pennies, but out of courtesy don’t pay them in pennies. Do not let the bargain price fool you, these cupcakes are amazing. The flavors might lack sophistication of other cupcakeies however, they are solidly delicious cupcakes. No need for exotic flavor combinations, fanfare, and bells and whistles for these cupcakes to be outstanding. They just simply are OUTSTANDING. SIMPLY OUTSTANDING.
I was saddened the Red Velvet cupcakes had sold out the day I went however; I was able to sample the lemon, coconut, sweet potato, carrot cake, and chocolate. It would be impossible to pick a favorite out of these delightful cupcakes. They were all so moist and had the perfect ratio of frosting to cupcake I’ve seen in a long time. The frosting wasn’t overly sweet and did not detract from the cake. All of the cupcakes had a homemade no way in the world this came from a box flavor. My advice is to visit the shop early because these babies sell out quickly.
The Verdict:
The Cupcake Collection has to be one of the premiere cupcake bakeries I have ever been to. Their products are above industry standard, and the down home atmosphere is welcoming. I suggest you try them before they catch on and raise the shockingly low prices on these works of cupcake art.
Caio~
