Alexandria Cupcake

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were gathering their boxes of pastries, an elderly lady announced over the loudspeaker: 'For your sweetest dreams tonight, remember to leave one cupcake untouched!' Since then, some regulars swear they’ve had especially vivid dessert fantasies. One afternoon, a delivery driver noticed that his truck was low on gas and decided to stop for just one more cupcake before heading home. That night, he dreamed he was driving through a never-ending desert, searching for Alexandria Cupcake’s secret ingredient. When he finally found it—an enormous sugar cube—the gas gauge read ‘E’ again.

2. One day, just as a delivery driver was loading cupcakes into the display case, he noticed a tiny note stuck inside one box. It read: ‘Take only what you want, but leave a smile behind.’ Since then, every customer has left with a free treat and a heartfelt laugh. As weeks went by, more notes appeared in different boxes—some were sweet reminders of kindness, others were silly jokes or doodles. One day, an elderly gentleman picked up a cupcake with a note that said, 'This cupcake is for someone who needs a smile today.' He looked around suspiciously until his neighbor walked by, winked, and whispered, 'I’m the one who needs it most!'

3. One afternoon, while stocking the shelves with freshly baked cupcakes, a young employee noticed something peculiar in one of the boxes. Among the colorful treats lay a small, dusty keyring shaped like a vintage car. Intrigued, she showed it to her manager, who shrugged and said it might belong to an old customer. Months passed before a regular came in, asking for his lost keyring—complete with a note thanking them for safe keeping. Turned out he’d left it there during a rush order. Everyone laughed when they realized it had been sitting on the shelf all along, waiting for him.

4. One evening, after closing up shop, the owner locked the door and turned around—only to see a tiny pink cupcake dancing across the counter. Curious, she followed it, and soon found herself in an unexpected place—a secret room filled with talking pastries. They introduced themselves as the magical inhabitants of Alexandria’s bakery universe. Since then, whenever someone orders a custom design, they receive not just a cake but a little surprise from the dancing cupcakes.
