As far as cakes go, she makes my birthday cake every year. This year was definitely the best one (check the photo). The icing is always amazing, the fondant is home made not packaged, and not too sweet like most. The design ideas are always original. Do you have a picture to put on a cake? She can do it. Do you have a special occasion that you'd like to make a little sweeter? Dana can do it. Every cake she makes is unique. She is easy to work with and will not disappoint you. And of course, I'll be there to help as well! She has her very own Elite member at her finger tips!

The possibilities are endless - even when tasked with odd requests Dana always comes through. Recently she was requested to make a character faced cake of one of my coworkers - it was a huge hit! I now use Simply Sweet for all of my special occasions.

Can't wait to place my next crazy cake order!

This is one of the best bakeries. Their treats are so buttery and taste absolutely delightful…read more Everything is so beautiful and gives the look of artistry. I love the pineapple coconut cookies. I've eaten them for years. They are delicate yet the flavor of pineapple and coconut work so well together. The cookies are moist and soft. They are such a joy to bite into. This day I also tried the toasted almond cupcake. While beautiful, it was extremely sweet, even for me. I couldn't eat it in one sitting. I don't think I'd ever purchase it again. It does remind you of the good humor toasted almond ice cream bars that were discontinued. But I just wish the topping wasn't so sweet. The cake was blander to complement the icing but it just wasn't for me. If you are looking to host an event or surprise a friend, i think treats from this bakery say I love you! There is so much variety that you should be able to find something for anyone. I took one star off because the staff isn't too conversational which takes away from the experience. .

The only thing we don't like are the other desserts in the case. There has only been one thing that we have enjoyed, and it was a Mango Toaster Pastry from our first visit. Other than that, we find the brownies, cookies, etc. to be pretty average...sometimes too sweet, sometimes too bland. Cupcakes are their specialty for sure, and we'll keep coming back for those.

There are different seating options including a back room which houses a beautiful yellow sofa, blue chairs, coffee table, and three arcade games. There is also a large room downstairs to rent out for gatherings such as birthday parties. Such a nice idea! The gluten-free cupcakes were soft, rich and yummy. I wish I had more. There was a really nice guy working the day I came in. He has been working for Hardcore Sweet Bakery for two years. He was very helpful and answered all of my many questions. He's a keeper! The only thing this place is missing is coffee. Then it would be absolutely perfect. Love this place! Snack and stay awhile.

I ultimately chose the "Hoya de Roc" which was a chocolate cake filled with cookies and cream filing and topped with peanut butter buttercream, oreo pieces and reeses cups and rolled in chocolate sprinkles. Needless to say after that description, the cupcakes are beautifully decorated. The peanut butter frosting was rich but the peanut butter flavor added a great depth. Personally there was too much frosting for my taste, but I can hardly complain about that. Overall, delicious and creative cupcakes!

I purchased a caramel cupcake, 2 glazed donuts, and a cinnamon sugar donut and let me say my companions and I absolutely devoured them! The caramel cupcake was incredibly moist and flavorful with a perfect amount of sweet with the filling and frosting. The service was fairly quick however we did arrive about an hour before they closed so I wasn't expecting to see many people anyways. The store itself is very cute and much larger than expected.

Nothing much else to say other than it's a pretty good bakery and it's been here for years!…read moreSurprisingly the dessert in the middle tastes better after having the after-taste. Same goes for the Baclava donut. The glazed is sometimes a little too sweet, but still good. Also, sometimes from what I remember the cinnamon and sugar could be greasy, but I haven't tried that one in a while. I've tried their sandwiches before as well and they're delicious. Service is awesome and everyone is kind. There are some tables of two to sit at near the windows.

I love that the menu changes every week there's always something new and creative to try. The flavors are fun and unique, and they really do taste as good as they look. From the classics to the specialty cookies, everything is baked perfectly. The pink box is iconic, and opening it always feels like a little celebration. Customer service is great too fast, friendly, and helpful, even when the line gets long. You can tell they take pride in their product. If you're craving something sweet or want a treat to share, Crumbl never disappoints.

I heard that there would be a brand new crumbl in my area and knew I had to stop by!…read more I have stopped by twice already and both times have been absolutely crowded which I fully expected to happen. My first visit there were a few people who opted to stand outside instead of waiting inside due to the lack of space. However, that just seems to be because they prioritized baking/kitchen space over waiting area space considering there are usually no tables at crumbl. Overall, the cookies for the week I went were pretty good, I was particularly fond of the strawberry cake cookie as well as the caramel apple cookie and dropped by again to grab some more before they left. Although not pictured below I did get a mini snickerdoodle and a mini mint chip ice cream cookie which were a bit lacking in flavor but overall decent. We also tried the s'mores cookie which we believed only tasted like a s'more if you made sure to get a bite with marshmallow in it and the Dubai chocolate cheesecake didn't really taste like much compared to there Dubai chocolate brownie from a couple of months ago. However, that won't stop me from coming back. The workers are very friendly and you can tell they are working hard everyday! I can't wait to come back to try next week's line up!
