We couldn’t agree more with Cupcake Charlie’s store motto. Why not enjoy the sweeter things in life? From Real Estate to Gourmet Cupcakes on Cape Cod, the franchise founders are self-taught bakers who bonded over their dream of owning their own bakery. When visiting the Falmouth and Mashpee stores, one can see the care that the owners have for producing quality-baked goods.

Cupcakes are baked freshly each day using the finest ingredients.

Each location has a display case spread of 16 flavors including one “Flavor of the Day” cupcake chosen from a list of 130 unique recipes. The baker whose daily task is to choose the Flavor of the Day must be torn while flipping through the recipe book, but thankfully there are no wrong choices. Who knew there were that many varieties of cupcakes? It also doesn’t matter which day of the week you decid to stop by, because all of the cupcakes are baked freshly each day!

We at the Palmer House Inn are excited that our Falmouth store has reopened for the season! Just in time to treat ourselves and our guests after another Cape Cod winter. The bakery also has prime location amongst well-loved restaurants, shops, the village green, and the Falmouth  Library on Main Street. The shop is within a 5-minute walk of the Palmer House Inn! There is also the Mullen-Hall Playground conveniently located just behind the Library, where the little ones can have a place to run around after a sweet treat.

As soon as you walk in the door of Cupcake Charlie’s, you are immediately greeted with the delicious aroma and the mouth-watering display of freshly baked gourmet cupcakes. Customers should be warned of these scrumptious cupcakes, because they are quite tasty. One whiff of the frosting, cake, and filling would bring any mean green diet to its knees.

Choosing a favorite flavor is extremely difficult, because they are all my favorites. However, if I had to choose one to enjoy as I’m writing this blog, I would choose the Rockin’ Red Velvet cupcake. The cocoa, buttermilk cake is deliciously moist without being too dense, it is balanced by the perfectly swirled cream cheese frosting. The deep chocolaty red cake is visually stunning next to the ivory fronting in the display case, which has my mouth watering every time I walk by the shop. This cupcake version of the classic Red Velvet dessert has always satisfied my sweet tooth cravings.

If you do not share my sweet tooth for Falmouth’s Cupcake Charlie’s tasty, “melt in your mouth” cupcakes on Cape Cod, there is always their soft serve ice cream. Vanilla and chocolate are the flavors with your choice of toppings. Nothing beats a classic. This is also, a great choice during those warm late Spring and Summer days while exploring Falmouth’s quaint downtown area.
