What’s moist, delicious, delightful, and will make you oh so happy? Come to CupCakes & Beyond and experience it for yourself! You will find both traditional and unique flavors of cupcakes that are decadent yet not super-sweet, moist, creamy, and so scrumptious it’s hard to have just one. They are freshly made with the highest quality ingredients by very experienced bakers, Markeeta and Vada Smith.
They have daily offerings of cupcakes on the menu, and also special order flavors like Rocky Road, Creamsicle, and Smore’s. You can also order Boozy Cupcakes – Bailey’s Irish Cream, White Russian, and Maple Bacon & Bourbon among others! They also custom-make full size cakes and cookies for your special occasions.
Stop by and try a cupcake (or more)! While there, enjoy the beautiful artwork on display. The artist-in-residence, Ariana Smith, is an employee.
CupCakes and Beyond is located at 9540 Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA 22031.
