A local scratch bakery that began as a cupcake truck, now with a Lake Nona storefront, custom cakes and a party room

The Naked Cupcake bakery on Narcoossee Road at Eagle Creek in Lake Nona

The Naked Cupcake is at 14009 Narcoossee Road, Suite 110, in the Eagle Creek Center retail area on the south end of Lake Nona. It began as a cupcake truck named Trixie and opened its first storefront in Lake Nona in December 2021; it is its only shop. Cupcakes are baked from scratch and sold unfrosted, or naked, then dressed to order with frostings and toppings. Gluten-free and vegan cupcakes are always available, and other allergy accommodations can be requested. The bakery makes custom and wedding cakes, hosts Dress Your Cupcake birthday parties, caters events and delivers across Central Florida.

The name explains the idea: cupcakes come out of the oven naked, and you decide how to dress them. The Naked Cupcake started on wheels, as a dessert truck called Trixie, before opening its first and only shop on Narcoossee Road in 2021.

Today it is a strong Lake Nona option for custom cakes and cupcake birthday parties. Here is what it offers and how it compares with the cookie and ice shops nearby.

Where is The Naked Cupcake in Lake Nona?

The Naked Cupcake is at 14009 Narcoossee Road, Suite 110, in the Eagle Creek Center retail area on the south end of Lake Nona.

It shares its building with Tomasino's Pizza and Smoothie King, in the retail area around Eagle Creek Center that also holds CFS Coffee and Pho Haven. It is the bakery's only storefront.

What makes The Naked Cupcake different?

Cupcakes are baked from scratch and sold naked, unfrosted, so you can eat them plain, have them warm with ice cream, or dress them with frostings and toppings.

The menu rotates through seasonal flavors, and the shop has added milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches. Warm cupcakes paired with ice cream are a specialty.

Flavors change through the year, so check what is in the case before you go.

Does The Naked Cupcake have vegan and gluten-free options?

Yes. Gluten-free and vegan cupcakes are always available.

The bakery also accommodates nut-, soy-, dairy-, egg-, oat- and wheat-free requests. It works in a shared kitchen, so anyone with a severe allergy should talk to the staff before ordering.

That makes it one of the more accommodating dessert shops in Lake Nona for dietary needs.

Can you order custom cakes and wedding cakes?

Yes. The Naked Cupcake makes custom cakes and cupcakes, including wedding cakes, and caters events.

Allow a few weeks for complex custom cakes; simpler orders can be turned around in a few days. The bakery has won wedding awards from The Knot and others, and it delivers across Central Florida.

Trixie, the original dessert truck, is still available to book for events.

Does The Naked Cupcake host birthday parties?

Yes. Dress Your Cupcake parties let children decorate their own cupcakes, in the bakery's party room or at your venue.

It is one of the easier kids' party options in Lake Nona: the activity and the dessert are the same thing. Book ahead for weekends.

Details change, so check The Naked Cupcake's website before you plan.

How does The Naked Cupcake compare with Crumbl?

The Naked Cupcake is the local scratch bakery with dietary options and custom orders; Crumbl is the national cookie franchise with a weekly menu.

Crumbl at Narcoossee Cove is about the weekly rotating cookie lineup and the pink box. Jeremiah's Italian Ice at Lake Nona Landing is the cold-treat stop.

For a custom cake, a birthday party, or a vegan or gluten-free dessert, The Naked Cupcake is the one.

Pros, Cons and Our Take

Pros

  • Scratch-baked cupcakes dressed to order

  • Custom and wedding cakes, catering and delivery
  • Dress Your Cupcake parties in an in-store party room

Cons

  • On the south end of Lake Nona, a drive from the north end

  • Strip-center setting with shared parking

Our Take

The Naked Cupcake is a dependable choice for occasions. Order a warm cupcake with ice cream on an ordinary night, book a Dress Your Cupcake party for a birthday, and keep its custom-cake lead times in mind for anything big.
