NORa’s Cupcakes are Dessert Decadence
The NoRa Cupcake Company (and now ice cream) is a Middletown, CT favorite for good reason: their ever-changing, decadent, and creative cupcake menus are unlike anything offered in more traditional (and manufactured) establishments. Wedding planning with them was easy, fun, and well-priced. We took their package that included a cutting cake (chocolate-raspberry—-yum) designed to our specifications. The package also included several dozen mini-cupcakes. Rather than a traditional tasting, I just brought home two cupcakes a week for like a year—-and we still did not taste them all. And what happened on the BIG DAY??? Well let me tell you, at the wedding, guests were “stealing” the cupcakes before dessert even started!!! And the cake-cutting lasted SOOO long because we kept asking each other for more tastes!!!! We left our wedding with big cupcake smiles on our faces!!!! Thank you NORAs!!!! We will be back soon!!! -

Great flexibility and service
We were so happy with the flexibility and service NoRa offered us! Originally we had decided on a different baker, but were disappointed to find out that they only offered gluten free, but not vegan cupcakes, and wouldn't accommodate our request for a rainbow cake (because they didn't like how the food coloring looked with their recipe). NoRa really saved the day with their delicious gluten free and vegan cupcakes, and their beautiful rainbow cake that made our cake cutting extra special! Not to mention they were willing to deliver the cake to the venue for a small fee, unlike the other baker. NoRa is very professional, and able to provide fun and delicious desserts according to your vision. We were very happy! -

Megan C. Sent on 07/09/2021The most amazing cupcakes/cake!
Do not hesitate on picking noras! Not only do they have the most delicious cupcakes in the state (trust me, I’ve tried them all) they also look incredible and the cake they created for us was exactly what we had pictured! We wanted a “naked” style and what they delivered to us was absolutely beautiful (and incredibly delicious!) -

At first my now husband and I weren't sure we were going to have a wedding cake: we had s'mores and an ice cream truck coming and didn't want to go overboard with dessert! Then we received a cake-cutting set from my mother for Christmas and we knew we had to include this tradition. My husband had worked in Middletown for a few years and we knew that NoRA cupcakes looked fun and tasted delicious. Their Instagram showed off some gorgeous cakes and we knew they were the right choice. Our hope was to cut the cake and bring it home for a brunch the next morning so we were looking for lighter flavors, potentially fruity where people wouldn't mind eating it for "breakfast." We looked through their cake menu one day and when we got to the bottom we found Strawberries n' Cream...done! It was super easy to place an order online with Heather for a two-tier cake, then pay in two installments in the store (and buy some cupcakes while we were there). The day of, I remember finishing our first dance and going over to the sweetheart table to get ready for dinner: the cake table was right next to us and we were blown away with how amazing it looked! When it came time to actually eat some, it tasted even better. It made it home and our families loved it at the brunch too. We are so excited to start a new tradition of getting a Strawberries n' Cream cupcake to celebrate every anniversary! -

Wendy Sent on 07/06/2018We worked with both Kim and Heather while planning our wedding and it was such an amazing experience! I had known since before I even started dating my husband that I wanted NoRA to do the cupcakes for my wedding. They are super communicative and responsive, and gave us some helpful advice on narrowing down their many flavor options. My mother and one of the groomsmen are celiacs and they were great about working with us to ensure there was no cross contamination in baking, delivery, and set up. We decided to do mini cupcakes to allow guests to sample more options and also not leave half eaten cupcakes all around the room - along with a 6" cut cake for ourselves, which was so decadent and rich! We had a tasting meeting, and because NoRA is a full time bakery we of course have conducted our own taste testing throughout the years. Everyone loved the cupcakes and I would highly recommend booking them for a wedding, bridal shower, baby shower, etc. They provided delivery for an extra fee (considering the venue is an hour and a half from the bakery it was extremely reasonable) and setup and take down is all included, even the platforms and signs for the cupcake flavors. They are super professional and most important, delicious!

Jenna Sent on 11/30/2017We had NoRa's cupcakes at our wedding through the CT wedding Group and they were amazing! We occasionally would drive up and get cupcakes to sample because picking the flavors of cupcakes was probably the hardest part of wedding planning! So many fun and delicious flavors, I know we really couldn't go wrong! We ended up with Bourbon Apple Crumble, Road Jam, Samoa, Reese's Peanut butter Cheesecake, Irish Car Bomb and Gluten Free 50 Shades of Chocolate. Our cake that we cut was AMAZING! We did Cinnamon Toast Crunch (without the cereal on top). It was beautifully decorated and had sparkles on it...we just loved it!

Mara Sent on 10/21/2016We worked with both Carrie and Kim to book the Lil' Truck for our wedding and both were responsive, helpful, and accommodating (we were booking from Boston and had small bits of time in CT to stop in for tastings, meetings, etc.). They were professional, prompt, and very organized when working through the details and timeline. The night of, they arrived early and quickly had everything set up and ready to go. The attendant was personable and friendly and the cupcakes got RAVE reviews from my guests. We're still rationing out some of the remaining ones that we froze to enjoy for the next couple weeks. You really can't go wrong booking these delicious treats : ) -
User2420990 Sent on 11/11/2015What an awesome additional to our wedding day!! It was so fun to have the truck come and serve cupcakes to our guests. And they also made a small cake for us to be able to have a cake cutting moment at the wedding. Such a fun, different experience for the guests. Also, I am vegan and gluten free and they made a delicious flavor that no one would have known the difference! Hope to be able to use them again and again for other events. -
User2394232 Sent on 10/27/2015Everything was so tasty and amazing! They made a fantastic spread of six different kinds of cupcakes for our guests to devour and a sweetheart cake for us. Truly wonderful. -
User2342528 Sent on 09/30/2015We used NoRa Cupcake Company for our cupcakes and cutting cake. They were SUCH A HIT! People could not stop raving about the 6 different choices we went with. We ended up with: Twix Cake, Irish Car Bomb, Apple Bourbon Crumble, Blueberry Buckle, Cookie n Cream and Chocolate Peanut Butter Explosion. They were gigantic and so much easier for people to grab and get back on the dance floor. They even provided take out containers if people were too full to have one at the wedding which was great so they didn't go to waste! We even got to do a tasting before my big day! Couldn't be happier with our choice!

User1488075 Sent on 12/30/2013I would love to say that having Nora's Cupcake Truck at our November Wedding was AWESOME!! The cake flavors we chose were a BIG hit to our guests!!
Having the truck was nice as it gave our guest a little break to walk outside and get some fresh air and then come back in to enjoy it!!
Thank You so much for being a part of our BIG day!! -

Julia Sent on 06/12/2017Great cupcakes, and the way they were presented was gorgeous. They are on the expensive side but it was worth it. Pretty much everyone I spoke to loved them and were impressed with the diverse flavors they offered. Thanks again!
