****Update: It is with a heavy heart that I write this today to let you know that our favorite cupcake store in Flower Mound closed its door to walk-in business on Tuesday. So maybe we can’t walk in to fill that “must have a coconut cupcake NOW” craving, but do not fear, they will still be around for catering and special orders…pick-up locations to be announced. They ARE still taking Valentine Orders through February 11th…see below. The following are recent posts on their facebook page: 1/31 Hi Everyone! Well, this is going to be a post that may catch you by surprise and one that we have mixed feelings about writing. Effective tomorrow (2-1), we will no longer be operating a store front retail business. Our desire was to tell you sooner than now, but we couldn’t for a couple of reasons. 8th Wonder Cupcakes will remain though as a catering, event based cupcake provider. Our phone number, 972-822-3360, will stay the same and our cupcakes will be available for order anytime. Our business has developed in such a way that almost dictates this changes. We love seeing you every day and we genuinely mean that. We have worked very hard to give you the best service possible along with what we believe is a great product. We hope that has been obvious. So, going forward, please call us when you need cupcakes. We will be available anytime of the week. We will need about 24-48 hours to fill all orders. Once orders are filled, we will either deliver to you or provide you with a pickup location. We are reviewing potential pickup locations and will announce those details soon! We will cater any major event you have and will continue providing cupcakes for parties, office celebrations, anniversaries, receptions, graduations, and any other need you may have. And, we will offer the best pricing out there too!! We want to tell you just how much you mean to us. The friendships we’ve been blessed with and that we’ve become attached to will go on for sure. Thank you for everything.
God Bless You, 8th Wonder Cupcakes 2/2 Hi Everyone! Well, we already miss you, but are happy to have talked to many of you today! Here are a few things we want to clarify: 1) we are available by phone anytime. If we miss your call, we will certainly call you back, 2) we are taking orders for any need you have, 3) we are honoring all Juice in the City coupons! 2/3 Hi Everyone! As promised, here are our Valentine’s Day specials:
Two pack – $5.00 Choose from Red Velvet, Strawberry, Vanilla, Raspberry filled, Chocolate and Pink Velvet! We will be taking orders through noon on Saturday, February 11! Pick up locations will be announced next week! |

After spending 20 plus years in Corporate America, owner, Scott Brooks, decided to do something on his own that allowed him the kind of freedom necessary to be a full-time dad and have important balance in his life. Through a series of unexpected, but great events, 8th Wonder Cupcakes came to life. Scott says, “We are thrilled to be and remain a family business that is not bound by the difficult and inhibiting structures of big corporate or franchise companies.” |
|
|
8th Wonder Cupcakes is solely focused on baking and selling high-end quality cupcakes. They bake their cupcakes daily with ingredients known only to their family and passed down through the years. They are focused on treating every customer right and building happy, loyal customers. “Every cupcake is fresh and made with only the highest quality ingredients. Our customers will always come first. Always.” says Scott. |
|
Here are some of their featured cupcake flavors:
The best part is the price! OK, well the best part is the cupcake, but the price is great too! Just $3.15 per cupcake and the price goes down the more you buy. What an excuse to eat more cupcakes! |
|
|
8th Wonder also does special orders for weddings, birthday parties, office events, anniversaries, and any other occasion you can think of. Do you want to share your love of cupcakes? Well, you’re in luck because they also sell apparel geared to adults and children that are cupcake themed, as well as cupcake accessories. They make great gifts! |

Here is what Flower Mound residents have to say about the cupcakes: “I came in and bought six cupcakes for my family and I was the hero of the night. Fresh, delicious and a great dessert. We are glad you’re here! Thanks. Oh yea, and the manly colors of your store are awesome. LOL.” Jeremy, Flower Mound “Sweet Charlotte loved her strawberry cupcake and her mommy loved her lemon one. Seriously delish! Can’t wait to share the rest of the ones we got with Charlotte’s big sisters!” “The dark chocolate bacon cupcake was to die for!!!”, Jill M., Flower Mound |
