We recently had Cakes by Maureen do the cookies for my daughters bridal shower. Her cookies were…read moreabsolutely beautiful! Maureen is beyond talented! We chose to do a wedding dress cookie, a starfish cookie and a cookie with flowers and the date. The wedding dress cookie had beautiful details that were so subtle you could miss them if you weren't holding them in your hand and admiring them! The starfish was detailed in beading that was just beautiful, and the cookie with the flowers (hydrangea like) was just perfect! IWe heard a number of times that the cookies were a 10 out of 10 for taste as well as design. So thank you, Maureen! You helped make a beautiful day that much more beautiful! I cant wait for another event to order again! Jeanne Flaherty Meg Flaherty Keira Flaherty

For my sides, I got hushpuppies and mac and cheese. The sides were both ok (I think they would've been better if I ate them in the restaurant vs getting them delivered to me). I think the mac and cheese prob could've used more flavor, but I liked the cinnamon butter on the hushpuppies. The 1/2 rack of ribs was sooo tender. They said it was to feed 1, but it was easily enough for me and my mom (with leftovers!). The meat was falling off the bone and was super juicy. Not dry at all. It paired really well with their homemade sweet Honey BBQ sauce. I tried the Chuck sauce as well, not my fave to pair with meat, but it wasn't bad. I like how they have a lot of sauces to choose from, and I would love to try all of them one day! The pork belly burnt ends were good as well, rich and sweet with the perfect amount of smokiness. Basically melted in my mouth! Sarcastic Swine is a solid BBQ spot with delicious meats and sauces. I will have to give their sides another try but I enjoyed my meal overall!

Prices are fair no complaints there. I ordered a cookies and cream cupcake and a salted caramel cupcake which is simply a chocolate cupcake and a vanilla cupcake respectively topped with flavored buttercream frosting. The actual base cake was baked nicely fluffy and moist firm enough to not crumble in your hands like a lot of cupcakes do but not too firm where you feel like you're eating something that has been sitting out for a while or just came out of the fridge. I enjoyed the cake. The frosting/flavoring was super underwhelming. After you taste it you realize it's more so there for the aesthetic and doesn't really contribute anything to the flavor. In a blind taste test you'd think it was just buttercream frosting with decorations. It doesn't add anything. I could've just gone with a plain chocolate and plain vanilla. The frosting was hard and felt like something out of the fridge and pretty much inedible because of the sheer amount of it. Quite the opposite of the cake that it tops. Not the best cupcake not the worst wish I tried some of the other pastries there because they did look appealing but the basics of what I got being so lackluster won't drive me to return. However if I do I'll try a cake slice or something and see how that is.
