Everything you're wondering about Provincetown's iconic cupcake, answered — mostly without attitude.
The Basics
What is ScottCakes?
A Provincetown institution since 2009. One iconic product, made one way: golden butter cake topped with old-fashioned pink buttercream. That's it — that's the whole menu.
What does a ScottCake taste like?
Old-fashioned pink buttercream, golden butter cake underneath. Simple, and exactly the way Scott's made it since day one.
Why do you only sell one flavor?
He could have added more. He didn't. Golden butter cake, pink vanilla buttercream, one size fits everyone — no decision fatigue, just the best version of one thing. Open your mind. There's only one kind.
How long have you been in Provincetown?
Since 2009 — started selling nightly from the street corner, fought the town for the right to exist, and won. Storefront on Commercial Street since 2011.
