I ordered a wedding cake and cupcakes for our 95 person wedding in town. Tracey was such a doll to work with and the cake and... cupcakes were so delicious. The reason I am not rating 5 stars is purely based on the decoration. When talking to Tracey I wasnot very picky with what I wanted as I had many other things on my mind and the cake was honestly the least of my worries.Tracey gave me some recommendations which I gladly accepted. The cupcakes were almond vanilla, strawberry vanilla and doublechocolate. The only complaint I have about the cupcakes was that whatever was used to tint the frosting burgundy on the vanillaalmond cupcakes was bitter which I was not expecting since the whole approach to their cupcakes is that everything is naturaland they don't use artificial dyes. The cake was a 6 inch round cake, vanilla with strawberry filling and I paid $64 dollars forit. For the decoration I asked for white frosting with some light pink and burgundy rosettes, simple but keeping with the themeof our wedding. What I received was 4 brownish little rosettes, with red and gold sanding sugar, which we had discussed using inthe above mentioned color scheme (not red and gold) For what I paid I feel like the decoration was not adequate. I probablyshould have been a little more specific in what I was wanting and maybe sent a few reference pictures but I thought that abakery that specialized in wedding cakes would be able to produce something a little nicer. Again the cake tasted wonderful andin the grand scheme of things it was not a big deal at all. However, if you are someone who, cake is very important to you andyou really want a big decorative elaborate cake or cupcake display I, unfortunately based on my experience, cannot recommendthis place.

I bought a dozen gluten-free and a dozen regular cupcakes, chocolate and vanilla, with white buttercream frosting and blue... sprinkles. The cake was delicious and moist; the frosting was rich and creamy. Big hit; five stars! But the total was more than$100 and that seems pretty high; dropping to four stars for price. I won't be able to do that again, but will stop in for aspecial cupcake from time to time. At least they'll get more business from folks who attended the event and enjoyed thecupcakes. Read more

The last time I was here it was 5 stars. As a baker myself I hold a high standard at over $4/ cupcake. However, I wouldn't know... what the ones I purchased this evening taste like as I was not even able to get them out of the box without them completelyfalling apart. The toppings fell off to the side, cake completely falling apart, and my hands covered in sticky goo ..theycontained too much chocolate filling to even get them out of the box. The whole thing went to the trash. Waste of $9.10. Read more

The cupcakes are very, very good and Asja was super helpful in giving recommendations since I was super indecisive in which... flavors I wanted. Read more

Late review. Ordered a custom baby shower cake in October 2021. Paid around $150 dollars for a fondant decorated cake. When I... received it, part of it was fondant, but the whole top half was icing and the decorations were sprinkles with the pre boughtcandy pumpkins and a chocolate mold of a baby carriage. When I ordered the cake and talked to the woman who does the cakedecorating I sent her detailed pics of what I wanted and we talked over the phone to finalize the vision and it wasn't what Ireceived. I had wanted fondant molded pumpkins and fondant molded baby carriage. It almost seemed like at the end - they wereover it and just slapped some stuff on top. The bottom part was very cute, but the top was not. The cake tasted good but thefondant work and decorating was not great. I expected more for the price. To be fair - she did send me pics of the cake themorning of the baby shower before I picked it up and told me about one issue with the fondant on the bottom layer and how theycovered it up. They offered me a small gift card, like 25 bucks i think, because she was out of town that day and couldn't redothe part that messed up. They covered it up and that part was fine. I didn't bother going to get the gift card because I'm avery reasonable person and can understand when things just don't work out, but she did the total opposite of what I wanted forthe centerpiece of the cake. Since it was the morning of the baby shower I was running around getting the whole venue set up - Ididn't have time to say - hey this isn't what we discussed - fix it. It was 2 hours before the event. So basically inconclusion, If you need a Pinterest worthy cake decorated I would encourage you to go elsewhere. If you want a basic, tastycake...this place is fine. The first two pictures are what I asked for - the top of pic #1 and the bottom two layers of pic#2....pic #3 is what I received..... Read more
