A&M cupcakes is a charming little cupcake boutique located on the Galle Road, opposite Barefoot. Cupcakes are trendy, tasty little treats - good for eating and even better for instagramming.
We decided to see how A&M were doing since it has been 4 years since we've last reviewed the place. While home bakers have claimed the Iron Throne in cupcakes, A&M is still up there and fairly reasonable.
They have a variety of flavors but all the interesting ones like the almond roast, mint choc-chip or lemontine were not available. They have quite a lot of regular flavors and 5 star flavors which are a bit expensive (Rs. 40 more). So I got 2 regular cupcakes, 1 mini cupcake and a jar all for Rs. 780, which was a big suprise cause I usually pay at least Rs. 1300 for that amount of cupcakes.
I tried the Hazlenut Mini Cupcake (Rs. 90). It was so cute! Fitted right in my unreasonably small hand. It didn't taste as good as it looked though, I suppose it was the flavor I picked because the base was really smooth and tasty, but the frosting was really bland. It was like eating sand.
Then we tried the Red Velvet Cupcake (Rs. 170), which was great! The base was delicious and so soft, it's like a party in your mouth. But the frosting had a little less cream cheese and a little more whipped cream than we'd like.
The Mocha Cupcake (Rs. 170) was a real winner! That creamy mocha frosting blending in with the chocolate velvet cake... oh man! Every bite was as good as the last. Since it wasn't too sweet, it spiked up the bitter mocha flavor, which I loved! Definitely try that one if you're a coffee lover.
Lastly, we tried the Oreo Cake in a Jar - Small (Rs. 350). A new addition to their menu, which they might as well have been better off without. It looks very inviting but one bite is enough to convince you otherwise. It was basically plain chocolate cake layered between a very poor mixture of oreos and cream icing.
It's a cute little place for your average cupcake shop with a really cool pink and white theme going on. They have a small seating area overlooking the main road, with high chairs and a very Instagrammy counter. The best part was the mirror wall near the cashier where the customers can write comments about the cupcakes on pink sticky notes and paste them before they leave. Can't complain about the service either.
I'm a bit torn cause out of the four cupcakes I bought, two were delicious and two were not. I think if they could improve their frostings perhaps it might solve most of the problems we had with them. With a lot of home bakers and outlets like Butter Boutique popping up every year, A&M needs to up their game a tad bit!
A&M does affordable and yum cupcakes!

A&M Cupcakes are just awesome!!!! I love the vanilla cupcakes. they are the best in town!
Thats funny, I bought two of their cupcakes around noon and only got to eating them around around 7, but they were still quite soft. The Strawberry one (forget the name) was good in particular.
A&M simply sucks. Dry and hard cakes and the cream does not taste special either.
Shru have u tried cup cakes in other normal places? I am very surprised by your taste buds and comments you make. Seems almost quite different and quite the opposite.
Shru clearly has no freaking clue about food. Enough said.
Seriously??? A&M, first off that's by far the worst cupcake maker/bakery in town; dry sponge with some stale colouring and bland flavour with some poor man frosting on top!!! You really need to get your taste buds checked. Why on earth are you even at A&M??? btw is the name of a chain of Cupcake outlets in Salisbury and NO this is in no way related to that. Heck even Divine got better cupcakes!!!
Do you want to know where the real cupcakes are at??? ever wondered? try hitting up them small time players, the ones who bake part time, out of their homes. Look up facebook. Sheesh Shru its evident the freebies are getting to you people! Professionalism!!!
They have pretty decent cup cakes for a 100 bux =) their choco addicts and almond ones are super yummy! =)
very interesting comments so thought of commenting myself……i've had their red velvet too and they were really amazing. and have u guys tasted the iced-coffee there? its not the usual that we get at p&s and green cabin. it has a unique taste. i've got hooked onto the iced coffee and having one almost everyday hehe :)
btw bari, sounds like you're a competitor getting badly affected by A&M………get a life and get the balls to admit when somethings really good.
A&M is really close to where i work and its the place i go for a quick sugar fix…its a homely place wt nice ppl and their cupcakes r soft n icing well flavoured…it doesnt have the commercial taste or finish like most cupcakes and has the individually crafted end result…real homemade taste…Their cake pops are good too
A & M is Just lovely. My Girl Friend too Loves it. So Mouth Watery when thinking about it as well
Their cupcakes are absolutely dry! Most of them just suck! You guys really need to get your standards right. Most of the good places get bad reviews, and the bad places get good reviews. WEIRD.
Their cupcakes are really awesome :) especially frosting is yummy…. much worthy for money ….
Their cupcakes are not that great …. A bit dry …… I mean they don't TOTALLY suck but they are not great …. YAMU reviews are HOPELESS …. You guys know nothing about food and taste and your reviews are totally biased…… Get on FB - there are loads of homebakers who make GREAT cakes and cupcakes - try some of them - instead of always sucking upto munchkin and Sits …. Don't get me wrong Munchkin in particular has some good stuff - Sits - I'm not so crazy about…. but Have you guys tried places like- Petit pot cakes ? They do some beautiful decor work - Sugar Shack ? Urban Delights - Chocolate cupcake is the best I have had so far - and there are some other really great little home bakery's - you should give them a try….
Thanks
The Radio commercial is so annoying, such a put off ! i switch the station every time it goes on, there's nothing special about their stuff either.
A&M is the only place to go for Cupcakes. They have cupcakes in about two sizes . They also have these popsicles on the side. I think overall its an 8/10.

I love the Original Vanilla and Strawberry Dream cupcakes! Great flavours, not overly sweet or synthetic tasting like some outlets. And their packaging is totally adorable.
