The Sweetest Experience Gift in the Portland Area: Cake Hoopla’s Cupcake Club

A kindergartener plays with fondant and tools as he decorates cupcakes during open studio time at Cake Hoopla in Tigard near Portland.

If you’re searching for a memorable experience gift in the Portland area or looking for something fun and creative for kids, Cake Hoopla’s Cupcake Club delivers something truly special. This isn’t another toy that gets played with once and forgotten. It’s a hands-on, frosting-filled experience built for kids who love crafting, decorating, and creating edible art. Whether you’re shopping for a birthday, holiday, or just because, a Cupcake Club membership gives your favorite kid something to look forward to all year.

The Cupcake Club is Cake Hoopla’s decorating membership where kids come into the Tigard studio for a Cupcake Kit of the Month experience. Choose between 2 membership options: 3 or 6 themed cupcake kits over the course of 12 months. Each time they come in, they decorate six cupcakes using a creative, ever-changing theme with all the tools, frostings, fondants, and sprinkles provided.

Parents appreciate that it’s a meaningful, screen-free activity that fits beautifully into the Portland trend of giving experience gifts rather than more stuff. Kids love that every visit feels like a mini celebration.

School’s Out Thanksgiving Cake Camp: Nov. 26, 2025

10 stars out of 5

My daughter has been to several classes at Cake Hoopla and has so much fun each time. The instructor, JoJo, was so patient, engaging, and energetic with the kids. The camp itself was well-organized, fun, and hands-on. My duaghter particularly enjoyed learning how to pipe the frosting and loved being around kids her age. I highly recommend Cake Hoopla for any parent who has a child interested in fun activities and yummy treats :D

11 year old bday party

My daughter had 9 friends and did the cake decorating party. It was so much fun, even my 14 year old sons commented on how cool a party it was. The cakes are yummy, I am a cake person! The girls did a hard design and everyone had a finished product they went home with proud of. JoJo did an excellent job and the girls loved the photo booth too!

Took my two grandkids for a cupcake decorating class

Took my two grandkids for a cupcake decorating class. They loved it and the instructor was so kind and patient. I can’t wait to return and be part of the cupcake membership club and do open studio time with them. Thank you so much

Pro&Cons

What I loved: the quality of the materials included in the kit. Everything was very well explained (even if the kids didn’t always follow the instructions 😄).

What I didn’t like: the frosting was way too sweet. This isn’t really a problem with the DIY kit itself, since kids usually don’t put too much frosting on the cupcakes, but the cake we ordered separately from Cake Hoopla was overly sweet.

Highly recommend!

What a fun birthday party for my 9 year old! Everything was expertly planned and executed by JoJo and her team. From the initial communication to the day-of event. Even some of the parents stayed to enjoy watching! We will 100% be back!

Excellent experience!

My friend and I came in, we had quick service, and after a lovely tour of the studio and tools, we got to work. We had a blast and make such cute cupcakes! They were tasty too.

Cake Camp 10/10!

My 10 y/o son LOVED cake camp. He came home everyday excited for the next. The kids were friendly and JoJo the teacher was awesome and helpful, he said. Our whole family enjoyed the cupcakes and super creative cake that he brought home. My 5 y/o was sad he didn't get to go to cake camp and made us promise to sign him up next year. Highly recommend!

Kids LOVE it!

This was a perfect fun birthday outing for my 10 yr old great granddaughter. She has always loved arts and crafts, and these you can eat. Nice room filled everything we needed to make the day!

Great overall experience!

The ordering process and set up was great! Loved the inspo/instruction card, tools available, and ease of clean up. Gluten Free cupcakes were ok, very crumbly, not a lot of flavor-could be improved. Loved having the option though. Buttercream was tasty and colors were vibrant.

8 year old fun!

My daughter had her 8th birthday party at Cake Hoopla and thoroughly enjoyed it. The kids loved having free rein over the design of their cupcakes and were very creative with the frosting and fondant. The cake we got to cut was absolutely beautiful! As much fun as the decorating was, the Photo Booth stole the show. The girls had an absolute riot taking pics and silly videos together. Thanks for a wonderful party!

Second year in a row with the best cupcake party

Cake Hoopla didn’t disappoint, second year in a row my little one wanted to do cupcake decorating again instead of a cake for her 5th birthday. She and her friends loved it. She picked the colors and the theme, cake hookup gave two amazing options from that to choose from and the event was an amazing success. We love doing this as all the kids have so much fun decorating them and most took the second one home. We love this activity so much. Can’t recommend them enough.

So fun!

My daughter and her friends had a blast celebrating her 7th birthday. The cakes and cupcakes are delicious, the Photo Booth was a huge hit, and the Cake Hoopla crew did a great job of moving things along at the right pace, and made hosting a breeze. 10 shrieking, giggling girls was a little loud in that party room, but it was all shrieks of joy which made it worth it. Also, there are adult beverages, that helped too ;)
