Flavors at The Five Forks

There are so many flavors to enjoy at The Five Forks. When I took my girls – girls who are focused on both taste and beauty – they were in awe of all of the beautiful choices in the display case.

Cupcakes. Chocolate-dipped Oreos. Cakesicles. Cookies.

And for mama? Coffee from Fortress Cafe.

Making this a great spot for the whole family to find the best cupcake in Jackson.

Their most common flavors – Signature Flavors like Dutch Chocolate, Funfetti, and Vanilla Bean, Gourmet Flavors like Lemon, Strawberry, Grasshopper, and Carrot, and Premium Flavors like S’mores, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Peanut Butter Cup, Cookies’n’Cream, Cherry Chip – are all gorgeous and delicious.

And there are delicious seasonal flavors and color palettes to enjoy, plus holiday-themed treats. And yes, you can make special orders.

My girls each loved their treats and many bites were traded among us to be able to enjoy all of the deliciousness.

Pssst. Recently they introduced a cupcake that has cookie dough instead of icing. And it is on my list of must-try treats in Jackson.
