Trophy Cupcakes University Village

Haven’t had Trophy since I was a kid, but I had a random craving for cupcakes the other day and my usual cupcake spot (New York Cupcakes) was closed, so I decided to get some from here. Unfortunately, they missed the mark. My partner and I found them to be crumbly, dry, and sickly sickly sweet. The frosting was as tall as the cupcake (way too much) but it wasn’t even good frosting just tasted like pure sugar and chemicals. We ended up throwing the extras away. Some things are better left as nostalgic memories I guess (Second star is for the nice employee

I went to U Village for the first time in a while when I stumbled upon a sign talking about cupcakes. So, I walked into this cute little shop and ordered a soft serve on a cone and a gluten free salted caramel cupcake. The staff working were okay not the friendliest or most helpful until I asked questions. The soft serve reminded me of the one from McDonalds, just in a waffle cone. I didn't try customizing it or anything to just try the ice cream. Anyway, the cupcake was so delicious I haven't had a gluten free cupcake that tasty in so long! It was moist and soft and maybe had a little much frosting but overall really good.

If they have the lemon meringue cupcake please give it a try! (if you like lemon)The lemon macaron was also really nice. I like the strawberry cheesecake also.Another great cupcake was the hummingbird. It was really nice, being from the south I appreciated the flavor combination of the fruits in the cake. Nicely done.Will probably be back and give another flavor a try before flying out.Its a nice cupcake place for a sweet treat before or after dinner, whichever!

I was disappointed this time around because the cupcakes were pretty dry. For the price, in my opinion, they need to be a lot better. Maybe it was just a bad day usually they aren't so dry. The employee working was very fast and it took like 1 minute to order and pay! Since the pandemic and days of online shopping with no lines, speedy in person service is awesome!

If you want a quick treat I recommend the salted caramel and the carrot walnut cupcake. Both were moist and tasty. My only complaint is it seemed like the cupcake was more frosting than cake.Wasn't a huge fan of the vanilla. The cake was a little dry but I appreciate how dense it was.
