422 United States cupcake bakeries, listed by state

Updated - as we update this list, it will obviously have more than 422 bakeries, and we welcome your additions (see below).

You asked, we answered...below are the (approximately) 422 cupcake bakeries we currently list in our Cupcake Bakeries in Other Cities, plus a few I realized we don't yet list, organized by state. Within the states they are in alphabetical order. The links to the bakeries are at right. Someday it'd be awesome if someone added links but that will take many hours and they are easily accessible at right. We hope this aids you in searching for bakeries. If you're listed or see a company listed that's no longer in business, let us know at cupcakestakethecake at gmail.com

Please keep in mind that our ultimate goal is to entertain you and bring you cupcake news, not to promote any given bakery. We list these as a resource for our readers, many of whom have requested this list. When we started this blog in December 2004, the idea that we could even form such a list was inconceivable. Now, there are cupcake bakeries and catering companies starting every week, so keeping up with them is next to impossible, but if you have a suggestion we've missed, please email us politely and we will see to adding your listing as soon as is humanly possible. Same for our links at right - some may be broken; we are working on it.

We only relatively recently started designated companies as custom cupcakes (as opposed to storefronts), so those are incomplete. We list companies that sell only or primarily cupcakes or whose cupcakes in a given city are particularly noteworthy, and listings are at our editorial discretion.

Since this is a blog post, we will try to update it when we add bakery listings at right. Please see our other categories as well: New York City Cupcake Bakeries, Mail Order Cupcakes, Cupcake Trucks and International Cupcakes.

We also encourage you to check out local and state blogs like Utah Loves Cupcakes and Chicago Cupcake Crawl, which cover their local cupcake scene extremely well.

I did this by hand and it took, um, a long time, so the above isn't meant to scare you off.
