I just moved back to Knoxville from New York City, and cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery there (as well as Crumbs and Sugar Sweet Sunshine and Amy’s) cost around $3 (sometimes less). Knoxville cupcake houses should NOT be this expensive.

They look delicious! This is not only a trend in Knoxville. It’s happening around the nation - small little cupcake franchises are popping up everywhere! Before I moved from DC two cupcake places had just opened up!

I think some people are planning on taking over the world— one cupcake at a TIME!

I just want to note that I don’t really love cupcakes… but this article is so well written that it sure makes me want to carve out room in my palette for one soon. :)

Patrick - $2.75 is steep for a cupcake, but it is less that a dessert in most restaurants. I would definitely file it under financial “indulgence” though.

Brittney – It is worth a visit!

Missy – I have to agree that MagPie’s is still reigns and I don’t think that Peggy will be dethroned any time soon with such a loyal (a well-deserved) following. The only downside for her is a convenient location.

CLR – You scraped 2/3 of the icing off. I ate it all, much to my stomach’s dismay. Maybe you should open a storefront on the porch for your creations? ?

You forgot to mention that we scraped off 2/3 of the icing— it was so thick and heavy! It’s supposed to be icing on the cake, not cake on the icing!

Where do I side in the Knox Cupcake wars? Right at home in my own kitchen:)

MAGPIES!!! I know there are others, in fact I’ve tried some of the pretenders, but nothing beats Peggy “The Queen of Cupcakes” and her little bites of heaven! I have 4 doz. minis in her superdeluxe flavors coming for my birthday party this weekend, do weekends get any better?

Mmm, I do love me some cupcakes! Thanks for posting this; I’ll add it to my list of bakery indulgences to try.

I bake cupcakes occasionally via Betty Crocker, and I hear they’re pretty good. But can these stand up to mine?? Ha, I’m sure The Cupcakery’s will beat mine to the ground.

I visited this place the other day after checking out Bar Denim Blues. The interior was very urban-sparse, and there were a number of customers while I was there.

I wasn’t impressed with the variety of cupcakes available, nor did I think the price reasonable. Paying $2.75 for one cupcake? No thanks!
