Trophy Cupcakes‘ new store takes the cake for one of the best additions in Bellevue at The Shops at the Bravern.
Red velvet with bourbon cream cheese, lemon meringue, triple coconut, and chocolate graham cracker are just some of the exciting and fun flavors that Trophy offers up at their new digs. Let’s be honest…these aren’t just cupcakes, these are fine works of art that are baked fresh every morning, hand crafted with the highest quality ingredients such as Valrhona cocoa powder, Belgian callebaut chocolate, Madagascar bourbon vanilla, and European sweet cream butter.
Is your mouth watering yet? Which ones have you tried?
You can indulge in the normal-sized cupcakes, but my personal favorites are the “guilt free” minis that almost seem too-fancy-to-eat! Plus, the minis give you an opportunity to sample even more of their imaginative and seasonal offerings.
Owners Jennifer Shea and husband Michael Williamson opened their first Trophy Cupcakes in February of 2007 and currently have stores in Wallingford, University Village, and with their newest location now in Bellevue. Shea, a lifelong baker with a degree in nutrition, is always collaborating with her bakers, developing new flavors, and keeping ideas fresh. Their team does a great job and is sure to please with excellent customer service, giving you the feeling that you’re special just for coming in to look. More then a few times I have seen customers lining up and leaving with big smiles on their faces.
If you are having a celebration or event, make it unique with custom cupcakes designed exclusively for you and your group; then find everything else you need to make your party special, including cards, and imported paper decorations. I have used Trophy for numerous events and occasions, and they always impress. I love their attention to detail and their displays always steal the show.

I love Trophy! My favorite are the red velvet mini’s and the triple coconut. Yum!
I do like Trophy, but because of Health Department regulations, they can’t use real butter in their frosting (the cupcakes aren’t refrigerated). So it’s not buttercream, it’s a “shelf stable” foodlike product. Sad but true.
Good to know-thanks Denise. 🙂
Definitely a good add to Bellevue – not the biggest fan of their cupcakes though Jennifer is super nice!
Another great place to hit the “sweet spot” in Bellevue is Amore Chocolates. Next review should be there.
Nice write-up Matt!
Actually Trophy Cupcakes does, in fact, use 100% real butter in their buttercream. Trophy prides itself on the excellent quality of its ingredients and the buttercream is no exception!!
haha so do they use butter or not?
They do. I assure you. I have made it myself.
Whether they use real butter or not,….they ARE FABULOUS!!!!!! I love the triple coconut; to die for. 🙂
The Bella Cupcake Couture wrappers on the Halloween picture is boo-tiful. 😉

Since they “use butter” but sit out, is there a time limit to how long each cupcake can be on display, unrefrigerated?
