Abstract We investigate exceptional sets associated with various additive problems involving sums of cubes. By developing a method wherein an exponential sum over the set of exceptions is employed explicitly within the Hardy-Littlewood method, we are better able to exploit excess variables. By way of illustration, we show that the number of odd integers not divisible by 9, and not exceeding $X$ , that fail to have a representation as the sum of 7 cubes of prime numbers, is $O\left( {{X}^{23/36+\varepsilon }} \right)$ . For sums of eight cubes of prime numbers, the corresponding number of exceptional integers is $O\left( {{X}^{11/36+\varepsilon }} \right)$ .
