The coupon at Cakelicious was for 1 cupcake. There were a few options to choose from. I chose the fruity pebbles cupcake. The cupcake was light, soft, and moist and the icing wasn't overly sweet. However, the fruity pebbles on top were a little stale. My husband had the passionfruit cupcake and he enjoyed it. Cakelicious also sells hot food. Though we didn't try it this time, it did look good and I would want to try it next time. There are a few tables inside and we were the only ones at the store.

After visiting Awesome Sweets as part of the inaugural Triple Play: Best Donuts, Best Cookies, &…read moreBest Cupcakes by RI FOOD FIGHTS in April, I knew I had to order a cupcake bouquet from Awesome Sweets for my friend's bridal celebration party. The cupcake bouquets are made to order and come in a variety of flowers and colors. Bouquets come in 7, 12, 14, 19, 24 cupcakes. Three weeks ahead of the date of the party, I called and placed an order with Susan, owner of Awesome Sweets Bakery. Susan walked me through the flavors and fillings of the cupcakes and the colors. I chose 7 cupcakes-3 Red Velvet filled with Chocolate Mousse and 4 Funfetti filled with Strawberry Buttercream and for colors-blue, yellow, white, and pink. Credit card information was also taken when I placed my order. It was very easy to work with Susan. On the day of the party, I went to pick up the cupcake bouquets and they all looked so beautiful. It was stored in a tall box and was easy to transport. I can tell so much attention to detail and hard work went into piping the flower petals. The cupcakes were moist and icing wasn't overly sweet. My friend absolutely loved the cupcake bouquet and the cupcakes were very yummy. Thank you Susan!

The coupon at Marti's Cupcakes & More was for 1 cupcake. The bakery was very cute and pretty. I loved the pink paint on the walls and the cupcakes displayed on cupcake stands. I had the strawberry shortcake cupcake and there was strawberry filling in the middle. The cupcake was soft and moist and the icing wasn't overly sweet. The filling was a very nice addition. The cupcakes were really good sizes too. Marti's Cupcakes & More was a close second place for the best cupcake.

We opted for cupcakes rather than the traditional three-tiered wedding cake, so Sue whipped us up some delicious samples featuring homemade fruit fillings and rich frosting. The strawberry with champagne frosting was my favorite, followed by blueberry and lemon. To accommodate our vision for how the cupcakes would be displayed, Sue went out of her way to buy a new circular tower and get ribbon to match our wedding colors. The result was an impeccably designed table of delicious treats that our guests loved. To top it off, Sue offered to make us a small, fresh cake for our one-year anniversary rather than have us eat something that had been freezer-burned for months. Talk about sweet :). A helpful note for brides-to-be: Sue operates out of her house and we were a bit confused by the absence of a storefront when we first drove to Rehoboth to check out Ms. Buttercup Cakes, so keep that in mind and definitely call ahead of your visit!

Thought I would share my experience, good and bad!…read more Maria is a very talented baker. I ordered cupcakes for my wedding. They were creative, delicious, and she has a great gluten free selection. She arranged delivery, which went without issue. We ran into a snag with pickup of the cupcake tower. Arrangements were made for the caterer to break down & pack up the tower, and Maria would pick it back up from the caterer's headquarters. This was so perfect and convenient for me! Except... I got an email from Maria soon after the wedding, explaining that she picked up the cupcake tower, only to find that it was cracked in two with most of the hardware missing. She needed to keep my $75 deposit, and suggested I contact my caterer for reimbursement. This is all understandable. However, after having followed up with Maria, she admitted that when she picked up the tower, she left without notifying anyone at the caterer, and just determined she would keep my deposit. In my opinion, it would have been proper to present the damage to the caterer at the time of pickup. In following up with the caterer, they assured me that it arrived at their headquarters in-tact. A classic case of he-said she-said, and I'm left to pay the price. I would not say that this situation was handled professionally by Maria. The tower should have been checked over & damages documented with the responsible party. Just because you have a client's deposit does not entitle you to make undocumented claims and keep the deposit.

I feel the need to update this review now that I have had several different kinds of cakes from The…read moreIlluminated Oven. This business is the kind of place that makes me wish I was a little more stingy about giving out five stars, because Maria's cakes are so good that they are in a totally different class from anything I've had anywhere else. Six stars for The Illuminated Oven! The carrot cake is so good that it's really hard not to order it any time I need something sweet for a special occasion. However, for Valentine's Day last year, I went with the classic red velvet (gluten-free), and oh my goodness, it was out of this world. I also ordered a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting for my boss's going-away party, as I thought those flavors would please everyone, and it was anything but boring. Several of the girls who ate it said that it was the best cake that they have ever had! Maria makes many more delciious-looking products other than cake which I am eager to try, but when I find something I like, I rarely stray. I am developing a hankering for some cake just writing this, and I am looking forward to the next time I order something from The Illuminated Oven!

The BEST cupcakes I've ever had, and I'm counting allll of them. No, seriously, I have no idea how…read moreshe does it. These cupcakes are so moist, flavorful, and fun! The menu changes weekly, but it often has a formula of classic/classic/creative/alcohol-infused flavors. So with typically four cupcake flavors a week, she'll do something along the lines of: vanilla, chocolate, cookie dough explosion, and tequila sunrise. And yes, those are all flavors from the Sarcastic Sweets arsenal. Seasonal flavors are played with quite well here - like an appropriate lemonade for the summer or a festive pumpkin pie or hard-cider in the warmer months. Cookies and brownies are on the menu as well! You'll find the truck out and about just about everywhere. Food truck events (Food truck Fridays is where I originally found her), random establishments (Foolproof brewery, libraries, CVS, etc.) local events (EP heritage fest, marathons, what have you). She'll also deliver to you on top of taking custom orders. You never know where the truck will be, but I know I'll go out of my way if I have to, to find it. I love following along, as she's great with updating her weekly menu + locations on Facebook, and trying the things she comes up with. I just had a salted carameltini cupcake (just can't get away from those spiked cupcakes...) that was seriously everything! My boyfriend, who normally has zero taste for sweets, can't ever help himself from stealing a bite...or four. Personally, I'll be chasing down the Sarcastic Sweets truck forever (and doing my best not to order more than one at a time, gah!), but you'll totally earn an A+ in self-love for at least trying it out. Fair warning though, you'll probably return (for the love, obviously).

They were sold out in 30 minutes, but the owner, Cat, posted they will be in the case again on Saturday. On Saturday, Cat's Cakes and Cafe's opened at 10:00am and I arrived about 9:55am; there were already a few people waiting for Cat's Cakes and Cafe's to open. At 10:00am, the sign went from closed to open. We all walked in and saw the labubu cakes in the case. There were two flavors-chocolate and confetti-and there was a blue, pink, and brown edible labubu picture. The mini 4" cakes were $10.00 each. The confetti mini cake was pretty good. I really liked the filling, but the icing was just a little too sweet for my own preference. And overall the design was spot on. It's perfect for any labubu lover. I had to get one for my friend who loves labubus as well. I spent a few minutes talking to Cat about some labubu blind boxes ideas. Cat was a pleasure to talk to and was very friendly. Besides the mini cakes, Cat's Cakes and Café offers a variety of specialty desserts made in-house, such as cakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies and some drinks.

The shop is smaller, but clean, cute and easy to pop in and out. The area of Newport where it is, is very nice. I enjoyed both of these cupcakes a lot. The lemon curd filling in the lemon was super good. Both cupcakes were moist, not too rich, and the frosting was amazing. It still had a very "frosting" flavor but it was thick and creamy enough to hold its shape, but not totally like you're just eating sugar. The chocolate raspberry cupcake was amazing. The raspberry frosting is extremely memorable and the chocolate flavor of the cupcake was very good. I am a big vanilla cake fan, as a lot of chocolate cake sometimes tastes funky, but I assure you this one is very good. The girl at the counter was very nice, and helpful with other customers questions. I recommend!
