Y'ALL. I can't even put into words how much I LOVE this place…read more Tucked away here in Duck, NC on the beautiful Outer Banks, this little bakery is truly a hidden gem. Honestly, part of me wanted to keep it a secret... but it's way too good not to share! The cupcakes? Moist, soft, perfectly sweet, and topped with just the right amount of frosting + garnish. Absolute perfection. The cheesecake? Listen... it's "slap-your-mama" good. I'm talking about that close-your-eyes kind of bite that takes you straight back to a childhood memory. Pure magic. The red velvet? Heavenly. Moist, rich, and decadent enough to transport you to another time and place. I honestly believe food has the power to bring back memories -- and this bakery proves it. Every bite is a little trip down memory lane, and I promise, you'll feel it too. If you're visiting OBX or anywhere nearby... RUN, don't walk. ‍ Support local. Support passion.

If your a local they can take care of all your party needs from decor to birthday cakes! They provided stellar service and will definitely hop by here again with my family next we pass by!

Sweet Cups is the froyo portion of the store, and it was deeeee-licious. It's the kind you self-serve out of a machine and pay by the ounce, so you definitely get more than you thought you were filling. The salted caramel and mint cookie were both really good. They also have a topping station that's also self-serve (they're so sneaky), with whole pieces of candy for some of them! They also have healthier toppings like fruit. There are a couple of tables inside, and they have a really nice bathroom.

We went with 4 kids and they were excited to get ice cream, homemade at that, only to be…read moredisappointed in the service and ice cream selection. We walked in and were not greeted at all nor were the employees friendly, more annoyed to serve. The kids ordered ice cream and as expected, sprinkles only to have one of the employees bring out the sprinkles and pour them on the ice cream over the ice cream bins getting about 5 sprinkles on the cone. The ice cream did not taste home made. The layout was odd as well with toy claw machines on the opposite wall of the ice cream and limited seating inside. Will definitely not be back.

Candice was incredibly communicative during the process and worked with us to create a cake flavor that was representative of one of our favorite vacation drinks (Lime in Da Coconut). She absolutely knocked that flavor out of the park! Since she doesn't do the Banana Pudding Cake as a sample, we ordered it for a mini celebration to try before making our final decisions. She was able to make the entire thing gluten free (she makes it all from scratch) and it was delicious! As I've been to several weddings where there were gluten incidents, I decided that we would have all of our cakes be gluten free to keep everyone safe (we have several friends with Celiacs). We did a cutting cake in the Lime in Da Coconut flavor and mini cupcakes in that flavor as well as Red Velvet. The mini cupcakes are perfect for grabbing and popping in your mouth while dancing! All of our guests loved them and we had some left over to take back with us to enjoy. I will definitely be ordering from her again!

She made everything feel simple and stress-free. I needed a gluten-free wedding cake, and Debra absolutely DELIVERED! The cake was not only beautiful, but incredibly delicious. So many of our guests commented on how amazing it was and said they never would have guessed it was gluten-free. That was especially important to me, and I was so grateful that I didn't have to sacrifice taste in order to have a cake I could safely enjoy on my wedding day. Our cake was such a hit that we actually couldn't resist eating the slices we had saved for our first anniversary! So, naturally, we are planning to return next year and order another cake just so we can enjoy it again. We are so grateful to Debra for making our wedding cake experience so easy, delicious, and memorable. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, accommodating, and wonderful cake vendor!

I am so disappointed in the cupcakes that were done for my wedding…read more My friend was going to make the cup cakes and decorate them, however her father passed away and she was unable to do. We had to rush to find a place to make cupcakes and we found icings on the cake. It was two weeks prior to my wedding and I was worried I wouldn't find a place. I was so thrilled that icings on the cake said they could do the 4 dozen cupcakes and when asked if they could do sunflowers I was told yes. Especially seeing the cupcakes on the website icingsonthecakes.com (picture 3). What I got was so dissapointing. (Picture 1) which looks does not look like a professional did Thankfully I had friends who went out and fixed (picture 2). After spending over $200 dollars on cupcakes they should not have been fixed. I emailed the owner and did not receive a response back in 24 hours.
