The Cup

Relying on entrepreneurial instincts instilled by family success stories, Ericka Frank opened The Cup in 2007 in the Central West End—becoming St. Louis’ original cupcake shop. With demand quickly growing, a second location followed in Edwardsville, Illinois in 2009.

Ericka’s talented team takes pride in offering locally made, award-winning cupcakes topped with her signature made-from-scratch buttercream in a variety of flavors—including gluten-free and vegan options. These beloved cupcakes are joined by other fan favorites including gooey butter cake, frosted sugar cookies, single-layer celebration cakes and more!

Every treat is crafted with care to help people celebrate life’s meaningful moments—a mission that’s remained at the heart of the business since day one.
