Before cupcakes, the only vehicle for frosting consumption was the bare hand, and the only place to load frosting onto that vehicle was the neighborhood frosting bucket. Eat frosting the evolved way with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of cupcakes at The Cupcake Gallery, located in Uptown.

Using fresh ingredients and a heaping helping of baking know-how, the pastry chefs at The Cupcake Gallery expertly whip up small batches of joy-inducing cupcakes. Choose from flavor favorites including double chocolate, caramel crème, red velvet, and German chocolate, or wade into new frosting-filled waters with maple bacon, rum cake, and cream soda ($3 each, or $30 per dozen). The Cupcake Gallery also offers specialty cupcakes, such as Twinkies ($2), and center-filled cupcakes, such as the choco-tella, a chocolate cake filled with Nutella and chocolate ganache and crowned with chocolate-and-Nutella frosting with toasted hazelnut powder ($3.95 each, or $42 per dozen). The Cupcake Gallery can make every cupcake gluten-free, vegan, or sugar-free if you call to pre-order, and all cupcakes can be un-shrunk and made into 6” cakes ($25) or 9” cakes ($38).

Because The Cupcake Gallery’s cupcakes are always appropriately accessorized with delectable frosting, they provide just the right arm-candy for end-of-summer backyard barbecues, barhopping, or standing in a gulley.

This Groupon is valid for in-store purchases only.
