Cupcake Charlie’s is a family business that sells cupcakes. They have a lot of different flavors to choose from, and their motto is “Life is Short…Eat a Cupcake”. My family visited their store in Plymouth, Massachusetts and the cupcakes there were delicious. We all had different flavors. I had the Chocolate Mint Madness, my sister had Chocolate Overload, and my parents had the Lemon Drop and the Hostess with the Mostess. Some other flavors are Grammy’s Carrot Cup, Rockin’ Red Velvet, Chocolate Raspberry Surprise, Funfetti, Oreo Delight, Charlie’s Chocolate Chip and many more. They cater for weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, baby and bridal showers, etc. They also have a store in Mashpee, Massachusetts.

Their phone number for the Plymouth location is 508-747-9225, and their Mashpee store number is 508-477-CAKE.
