I'm not generally a fan of sweets, but I was on my way to work and thought I'd take some cupcakes for my co workers to boost staff morale.

I liked that I was able to pick only the flavours that I wanted. It's also nice that they have smaller size cupcakes because that way you can have two and try two different flavours.

I was very pleased with the icing to cupcake ratio. Icing is the only... more

Good call on the cutie sized cupcakes. They are smaller than a mini and the perfect size to indulge an afternoon sugar craving. Mhmmmm.

It's great!! Have the mini cupcakes , they're the perfect size and the icing to cake ratio is still reasonable. It's when the cupcake is bigger that it gets a bit out of hand.

The staff is fabulous, and is always so nice and enthusiastic! They are of great help when it comes to choosing the different flavors, and is fast and efficient.

Good place to go if you have a sweet tooth!

Let me start off by saying cupcakes are not my thing. After trying Prairie Girl's cupcakes, my opinion has not wavered. The cake portion is very moist, which I do appreciate, but the icing is too sweet and and piled too high.

HOWEVER, this place is awarded 4 stars from me because the cupcakes are adorable and make for an excellent gift. The people that I have given the cupcakes to have all... more

My co-worker was really nice and went to buy Prairie Girl cupcakes as a mid-day pick me up for all of us. I personally love love love red velvet cupcakes. I had purchased a dozen of the normal sized cupcakes before for my boyfriend's birthday and found that the icing was a bit overwhelming because there was so much of it. I did think the icing was too much and wasn't able to finish it.

I know there is a lot of hype about these cupcakes and tend to be a lot of people's favourites, but to me personally I'm very indifferent about them. I like visit the PATH location as it is accessible underground. The place is always packed, so I recommend ordering online beforehand to bypass the line. However, it does require 48 hours advance ordering so be sure to order ahead of time.

I like... more

I absolute love the bakery. My favorite cupcake is chocolate on chocolate. My second favorite is the vanilla coconut . The icing tate like icing my grandma used to and the body is fluffy and really delicious. I can't never get enough. Good job guy! .

Their cupcakes are always very appealing and tasty. Love their mini size. Also their customer service is always great. Today, an Asian gentleman served us and he was very pleasant. He introduced and explained to us about the new loyalty program called Belly. Meanwhile, I noticed their line got longer and immediately another gentleman from the kitchen came out to help with the line. Very... more

A cute cupcake store in the heart of the financial district. If you are not sure what you want, the mini sized cupcakes are a great option. I tried both the vanilla cupcake with strawberry icing and the chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing. I must say the flavors were very good and the cupcakes were very moist. Although, the "real" strawberry flavor was a little over powering, I would... more

Never again. I bought 4 regular sized cupcakes from here on Thursday and today (Saturday) we still have two left. A big feat in our household but not really because these cupcakes suck.

The Red Velvet, the first one we tried, was grainy and chalky. The icing and the cake somehow resembled sand and left an unpleasant texture in our mouth. A few hours later we persevered and tried the Coconut... more

The only one that is worth try is the strawberry one and it's because the icing does taste like real strawberries.
The rest are just standard cupcakes you can buy anywhere else.
I've tried cupcakes in i don't remember how many places and all of them are the same thing: a sponge type and TONS of FAT ICING, not evenr eal fruit.
Cupcakes are out of my list as a treat.

This is one of the places I do not get at all. Why would anyone put out such a poor product? Why would anyone buy these? Probably because it's convenient for those of us working in the financial district. Besides location, there's absolutely nothing going for these cupcakes at all.

Trust me, I'm a cupcake connoisseuse. I blog about cupcakes.

The primary problem that I have with this (and a... more

I went with high hopes -- we tried the strawberry daiquiri and the red velvet cupcakes. The cake parts of both were relatively flat, in that they looked compressed. I found the strawberry daiquiri one disappointing: it was too dense with too much icing. The red velvet one had a moister, lighter texture with nice cream cheese icing but it wasn't as good as the Costco red velvet cupcakes...
... more

It tough times when coming here as it's all about decisions, decisions. ...and more decisions. lol..
Prairie girl cupcakes spits out over 20+ types of cupcake flavors from vanila, red velvet, and lemon to peanut butter, caramel and coconut. Though this place is small, like a kiosk, it can definitely serve to satisfy your sweet tooth...........any time of the day. Just ensure you're there latest... more

I decided to make a quick stop here to grab a cupcake to surprise a friend the other day. It's underground at First Canadian Place in what must be like a bakers row or something because it's literally surrounded by four other bakeries. Haha. Anyways, the cupcakes are reasonable priced (3.40 something for the one I ordered) and come in a nicely made carrier and bag if you want. Makes a nice... more

Don't settle for less than Prairie Girl's quality

I bake a lot, so my standards are fairly high. I was on a business trip to the U.S. and tried a lovely little cupcake place in small-town Ohio, and the cupcake was terrible...icing must have been made of shortening and the cake tasted like a mix. So when I got to Toronto, I headed to Prairie Girl for a... more

The best gluten free cupcakes north of the border

Sprinkles gluten free red velvet cupcakes in Beverly Hills CA, are the best cupcakes in the USA...in my opinion...love them a little too much.
On a recent trip to Toronto, I found Prairie Girl Bakery on Bloor Street.
WOW they make incredible gluten free cupcakes!
How do you choose between coconut,pistachio,banana,and 2 frosting options on red velvet?
You don't ...you... more

Too much icing

Prairie girl has 4 pricings regular 3.25; mini 1.99/specialty regular 3.95; specialty mini 2.75. There was a crown when I entered, staff seemed a bit distant to the customers ahed of me in line. Moving on, got the 6 pack
-dark chocolate vanilla; golden with strawberry icing; pumpkin; maple on carrot, carrot maple.
Att muffins were heavily iced, very rich,... more

Ok, I'm going to start off by saying that I'm not a big sweets fan in general, so maybe that's what came between me and liking Prairie Girl.

I've had quite a few of their cupcakes, and they've grossed me out every single time. These little cakes are seriously 50% cake, 50% icing. Their chocolate one is ok, and they make a peanut butter cupcake that's actually pretty delicious, but I would have... more

Come here if you are a cupcake lover

Hands down they are consistently amazing cupcakes!
We have been buying our cupcakes here since they opened on Victoria street. We now go the the Yorkville location as well. Love that they have gluten-free without having to special order!
I love that the cupcakes are equal part cupcake to icing. The cakes are always moist and flavourful. And the icing.... more

Great little treat

Love the special flavours they have daily. Also can't go wrong with a simple vanilla on vanilla cupcake. So fresh and homemade. Love this place. Also the staff are very friendly which for me makes all the difference when shopping/eating somewhere.

I just dont get it. No comparison to Dlish

Its really sad when two of the top ten of Toronto "restaurants" are for Gelato and Cupcakes... These are BY FAR the worst cupcakes I have had. They remind me of what I would pick up at a Metro Bakery NOT a specialty store. Overall they were incredibly boring...boring flavours, boring icing, boring service. (with lots of attitude- might I... more

UMMMMMM......good

Great cupcakes, no attitude. Worth the line up...if there is one! Buy a variety of the little ones..so you can taste more than one.

Amazing cupcakes

I absolutely love these cupcakes. Every flavour I've tried has been delicious! And there's always new flavours. They're so fluffy and the icing is amazing. My favourite is the red velvet.. I always get the mini cupcakes though because the bigger ones are too much at one time. A fantastic treat :)

The cream cheese icing is the best part

I became aware of Prairie Girl Cupcakes through work. My boss buys them everytime there is a birthday or "just because". I used to work at a cupcake store in midtown and those cupcakes don't even compare to how amazing Prairie Girls are. I have been eating these cupcakes since last October and the consistency is really good. You know... more

Amazing cupcakes

I went too late in the afternoon so must of the cupcakes were gone. But then I went back the following day, because I had to taste the red velvet.
I never like chocolate cake cupcakes because the cake is not moist. Well the chocolate/vanilla is AMAZING! to die for. The cake is fluffy and moist and delicious.
I highly... more

Fabulous customer service

I recently purchased a six-pack of cupcakes for my parents, after telling them how delicious these cupcakes were. Unfortunately, before I was able to deliver them, one side of the cupcakes in the box smushed into the other side, creating a bit of a mess and making my gift a little unsightly (still delicious, but an unsightly mess nonetheless).
Prairie... more

Gloriously decadent

At 700 calories a pop it really doesn't matter what flavor you get as you're guaranteed an insulin-shocking diabetes-contributing treat. Go early as there is a line-up between 12-3PM, and it is especially long on Friday's (1st Canadian Place location). There is a new Yorkville location at Bloor & Avenue next to Louis Vuitton.

Amazing decadant treat

I try to stop by for cupcakes when I need to bring a special treat for a celebration. I get the mini cupcakes in a selection that includes the carrot cupcake and gluten free selection. Highly recommend this store. Get there well before closing for best selection.

Amazing cupcakes

Purchased cupcakes from Prairie Girl as I was looking for something to take home to my kids from my business trip to Toronto.
The friendly staff suggested popular flavours and made sure my order was well packaged for the flight home! The cupcakes were fantastic, my kids and I loved EVERY flavour, and they made it home in fine shape!... more

Gourmet

The best cupcake ever!!!!! Located in the PATH downtown, nestled in a little cubby hole, this place makes the most amazing cupcakes that I've ever had. I bring them home to my wife when I'm in the dog house, which makes me an instant star :) oh ya this is my first 5 star rating.

Yummy!!! This is THE place for cupcakes

I love these cupcakes. I definitely eat more than I should but in my opinion they are that good. And I've always had great customer service. They have 3 different locations now - check their website. Yes, they're a bit pricey, but what isn't anymore? Treat yourself! My favorite is the Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Icing. So good!

Yummy

This place is fabulous! The cup cakea it self is nothing special. Just basic vanilla, chocolate and carrot cake... it's the buttercream icing flavours that makes this place unique. ..

Worth the calories

Delicious cupcakes, wonderful assortment of flavours. These cupcakes are a bite of heaven. Definitely the best I've had.

Best cupcakes

Prairie Girl makes the best cupcakes and they are the best price! I might also add that the staff here are a lot warmer and a lot less snooty then most other places.

Special treat

The cupcakes at Prairie Girl are absolutely amazing. They have so many different flavours, and the best part is the icing (though the cake part is excellent too). They are baked fresh always, and taste reallllly good. They have the option of mini or regular size. The mini is $2 and the regular I'm not sure but probably under $4.... more

Superman of cupcakes

After the cupcake wave that passed through Toronto a couple of years ago, I feared that there was no hope for this timeless treat. Too often, icings are sugar, sugar, sugar - they taste like c@!p. Not here. Here, the icing tastes like the flavour it's been assigned. Strawberry icings taste like strawberries. Peanut butter icing tastes like peanut butter.... more

Best Gluten Free Cupcakes I've Ever Had

Its hard to find a good gluten free cupcake, especially a fresh baked one. Prairie Girl Bakery rocked my world with their "Joe Prairie" cupcake (red velvet with vanilla and chocolate swirl icing). I'll be dreaming about it until I go back for another.

I am a total cupcake fan girl so when my friend hyped about PG cupcakes I had to try them. I don't live in Toronto so I was really hoping that their cupcakes were amazing.

PG cupcakes isn't easy to find if you don't know the area. It's hidden underground in the First Canadian Place right by the food court.

There was a line when I got there around mid afternoon. The line wasn't slow yet fast.... more

Who knew a cupcake could taste so great

After repeatedly scoffing at the whole concept of a "cupcake"store, I had the pleasure of sampling one of these heavenly tasting delights. One bite in and I am a Prairie Girl convert! Who knew?How do they make these bite-sized treats taste so good? Get out you wallet; true cupcake pleasure does not come cheap! Begin with the minis and get... more

I literally just picked up an order of 6 cupcakes from Prairie Girl for my manager's birthday. Other than the fact I wound up having to trek there during the worst snowstorm we've had this year, I was very pleased with my first Prairie Girl Bakery experience.

First of all, their online ordering system is great. Actually, better than great. It was one of the best and most user-friendly online... more

So Much More Than a Pretty Cupcake

I was hesitant at first since there are so many bakeries out there with lovely looking cupcakes, that end up being a letdown. The cupcakes here didn't disappoint. The staff were very nice, and completely relaxed about letting us take our time choosing which ones we wanted to try. I went there almost a week ago, and I am still... more

Cupcakes - they're just smaller (expensive) cakes, aren't they ?

A pal and I went to Prairie Girl Bakery at about 1:30 on a weekday. There was no line and we were served right away.

PGB make a variety cupcakes, from your classic buttermilk cupcake with chocolate frosting to a banana peanut butter one. I ordered 2 mini cupcakes and it cost me about $4.

Golden Buttermilk Cupcake w Strawberry... more

Good cupcakes, so so service

The cupcakes are good, but the girls behind the counter can be less than pleasant. Makes me think twice before standing in line.

I want to like PGB.. I really do. But my experience was underwhelming. The flavours sounded tempting. The cupcakes were sitting so prettily on the displays. The storefront is so cute. There was a line infront of me. I suspect many hungry workers sneaking a cupcake into their afternoon coffee break. When it's my turn, it took me forever to choose. Finally, I got the red velvet with cream cheese... more

Fluffy cakey goodness

Location on Victoria. So good. Delicious fluffy and flavourful bases with light and not over sweet icing. Had these the day after Magnolia in NYC and thought that Prairie Girl was a clear winner. My favourite is the strawberry.

Well Worth The Extra Walk

I arrived just based on the TripAdvisor recommendation. I just saw the small cupcakes and figured I better order two. The woman asked if I wanted the regular size and I said yes but when they came they were big with a wonderful topping on them. Luckily they came in a fitted box for carrying. I didn't have much for... more

Probably the best cupcakes in T.O

I have had the bad luck of working near the Prairie Girl Bakery, and as such their products grace our cubicles almost daily. The cupcakes are phenomenal, and they are always consistent. Moist, sweet, and excellent flavor balance. Their icings are also to die for. While the regular cupcakes are massive, they have smaller ones for those who cant handle... more

Out of the world Cupcakes

No matter which flavors we try they never disappoint. We have tried almost all the flavors and we have enjoyed them all. It is hard to say one is better then another so try them all.

Best in Toronto

Finally a cupcake in this city that is as good as the frosting! Great weekly specials, reasonable pricing for 'gourmet' cupcakes and a stylish interior are further enhanced by their friendly, helpful staff.

good cake base but sweet

The cupcake itself is soft and moist. Most of my colleagues like their cupcakes. But I found it is too sweet and too heavy. small size is good enough.

They JUST Do Cupcakes. They JUST Do It REALLY well

These guys have the most limited range of any bakery you'll ever see. They do cupcakes. That's all. That said, they do it pretty near perfectly. So for cupcakes? 5 stars. Since that's all they do, that's all I'm giving them.
I mean, some cupcakes are too sweet, not sweet enough, have too cream cheesy or not cheesy enough icing... more

Awesome Cupcakes

I am not a big cup cake person; however, I tried several cup cake places in Toronto, and this place is certainly my favorite. A dozen or so flavors and they come in two different sizes. They even have gluten free. Enjoy them as soon as you get them if you can.

The best cupcake shop in Toronto

Absolutely love everything about this bakery and will be going back asap! I really enjoy the flavours and whenever I have a sweet craving for cupcakes I prefer to buy my cupcakes from here. Only downfall is that you cannot sit and eat within the restaurant. Overall, it is great!

Cupcakes for the crew

Hands down one of the best things I have "wasted" my calories on! Kids loved them! A bit on the expensive side but well worth it!

Sit down when eating is a must

I saw several of people walking by with these fancy cupcake boxes, before heading home on the train I stopped by and bought the chocolate peanut butter cupcake for under $3 and it was the best cupcake I ever had. I strongly recommend anyone and everyone to try it just once and you are hooked.

Only for cupcake lovers

I buy the cupcakes for my nephew and staff. everyone raves about them. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. They have both mini and regular size from which to choose.

Disappointing to say the least

Little store tucked on Victoria street one block East of Yonge. From the outside, it is impossible to walk by without noticing the vibrant colors and steady stream of customers.
Let's start off with the positives. Great atmosphere and service. Plenty of variety.
Sorry folks, the cupcakes aren't that great. Surprised by the reviews here. Best cupcakes in the whole... more

Hard to walk by without stopping in to buy a cupcake

With all the yummy cupcakes on display, it is hard to walk by Prairie Girl without buying one. The cake is dense and tastes homemade. I am not an icing fan, but I do like theirs, especially the cream cheese flavors which are not too sugar sweet. When I walk home with a box of cupcakes, I get comments from... more

Fabulous cupcakes

A must try in Toronto. And they have mini-cup cakes if you just want a bite. Makes a great gift too!

Indulge in decadence

Prairie girl bakery is simply a rich, sweet treat to be enjoyed on a Friday after a long hard week of work or to bring these cupcakes to a gathering. You and PG 's cupcakes will be the talk of the party. PG has a simple concept. Do one thing and do it AWESOME!! In a way, this is also... more

Best cupcakes ever

I had been told this bakery had the best cupcakes in Toronto, but I can tell they have the best cupcakes in the world! Yummie.
You have a large choice of flavors and they are so smooth, tasty and creamy.
I highly recommend you go there and indulge yourself!
