Popular Cupcake Chain Plans To Open First CT Location In Norwalk

NORWALK, CT — A popular cupcake bakery chain plans to open its first Connecticut location in Norwalk, an owner confirmed this week.

In an email to Patch, Owner Regina Smith confirmed Monday a new Smallcakes Cupcakery and Creamery store is planned to open at The Waypointe complex, located at 515 West Avenue.

Smith declined to share further details about the planned Norwalk location at this time but noted the Smallcakes team was excited about it.

The opening would mark Smallcakes' first location in Connecticut.

According to the company's website, Smallcakes currently operates locations in 24 states, including New York, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Illinois and California among others.

The website notes that Smallcakes "specializes in freshly baked gourmet cupcakes, as well as seasonal and featured flavors presented in a signature pink box."

The chain has appeared on seasons one, two and seven of the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars," as well as the ABC daytime talk show "The View," according to the website.

Signature cupcake flavors offered by Smallcakes include pink vanilla, cookies-n-cream, wedding cake, hot fudge sundae, peanut butter cup and "famous" red velvet.

Smallcakes also offers a selection of ice cream flavors, including vanilla bean, salted caramel and blue monster cookie.

The Waypointe has seen a number of businesses both open and close in recent years.

Last month, Barcelona Wine Bar closed its Norwalk location at the complex.

In May, Sedona Taphouse closed its location at the complex.

Other businesses at the large complex include Colony Grill, Allora Coffee and Bites and more recently Elm Street Diner.
