I wish my experience with this shop was the same as those with positive reviews. Unfortunately, it's not. I was looking for cakes for CNY and a birthday. I tried contacting them through WeChat but no luck. I called the phone number provided here in yelp and was told to text and send photos for references of the cakes. Which I did. I didn't get responses so I texted again, which was the next day and still no reply from the shop. My uncle decided we should just go to the shop and ask in person. We go to the shop, told to wait because the owner is busy. Which we did. It was about 10-15 mins? We then showed photos of the cakes we wanted. Again, one cake is for CNY and the other a birthday. The CNY cake was a cake photo inspired by THEIR own cake they've made before. The birthday cake was explained and asked for certain specifics in person. Because the CNY cake was red we had some trouble picking a flavor, vanilla, chocolate and there were others. But the baker recommended we try red velvet because she said "Yeah, it's good, try." I thought why not because its a red cake, so red velvet flavor. Ok... WRONG DECISION. We concluded the consultation for the cakes and they didn't even take a name or number, let alone give us a receipt. We told the lady our pick up date and time, around 1-2pm in the weekend of CNY. To which it seemed like she was cool with that and told me make a deposit later for the cakes. That night, I made the deposit through Venmo. Around 1:30 of pick up date we arrive at the shop. The workers were confused because we didn't have a name, number or receipt for the cakes ordered. However, they were able to identify my order based on pictures of cakes I had sent them for reference. Then we were told to wait. I thought it would be maybe 10-15 mins but NOPE. We waited for an hour, maybe an hour and 15-20 mins for the cakes. None of the workers bothered to let us know the wait time. I went up to the cashier again to be told to just wait a little more. Still didn't say the estimate wait time because our cakes were being made as we waited for the hour or so there. There were at least 10 orders that came and gone in this wait time. The baker lady did apologize for the wait and blamed it on it being busy because of CNY. I didn't have much to say anymore at this point. This place is a RED FLAG for us from the start. Wasn't ready at the time we asked for, reserved it for. Couldn't find our order due to their lack ofs. Eating the cakes and then seeing their health score and reasoning on Yelp made me gag even more. The cakes were not worth the trouble of nuisance and time. The red velvet cake had a bitter aftertaste to it. The red whip cream had so much food coloring in it that our teeth were stained from eating it. No flavor of cream cheese for the cake whatsoever. Just slabs of cake with flavorless whip and red food coloring on top, leaving a bitter aftertaste. For the price of this cake, it wasn't worth it at all. The birthday cake slightly made up for the red velvet one but not by much. They ignored everything I asked for and since they were literally making the cake as we waited they just looked at the photo to make it. When I asked for an all beige (one color) cake. They made it like the reference photo when I came in person to tell them how I wanted. It was vanilla flavor, so I guess it was alright. I would prefer TLJ or Paris over this though. Lesson learned. In my opinion the cakes here are for the aesthetics and design only. I will stick with TLJ and Paris.
Highly recommend this bakery. The cakes were for my father in law's birthday. He and all our guests were amazed by the design. Besides the stylish look, we loved the taste, too. The cream was so fresh, and the sponge cakes were very soft. Additionally they're NOT TOO SWEET. which was perfect to us. I should've took a picture when they were in the clear pack boxes. So elegant. The employees there were very very friendly, nice and HELPFUL. Very easy to find a parking near by, which is rare in Flushing. Lol. Will definitely go back again and again.
I came across this small bakery near Kissena very last minute. They were able to make a beautiful cake in such a short amount of time. It turned out better than expected and the taste was decently good. The lady was really nice when I asked for a final change and paid a lot of attention to all the details I asked for. I showed them a picture of a happy birthday candle with the Y on the side of the cake and they did just that. Although it would have looked better all on the cake but it definitely shows how detailed they are in the pictures you show. I highly recommend this place although it was a little pricy the quality of this cake definitely meet my expectation.
Stopped in here for their grand opening day. It seemed like they were not really ready for customers yet. There was only a few items in the display case: A few cupcakes, a tray of un-decorated macarons and one small pink cake decorated with Hello Kitty. Also some mousse filled cups were on top of the counter. Not sure whether to give this place 3 or 4 stars because they weren't selling much to try. And I only liked one of the two desserts. Not sure, but they seem to specialize in Parisian Macarons and custom design cakes. They had a tv, displaying some very pretty decorated macarons and expertly designed cakes. The picture I especially liked was the cake shaped like a bowl of noodles (need see the picture. Its just too pretty and difficult to describe). But those are just pics. I'd prefer to see some actual cakes. The person I talked to, (their english wasn't that good), told me that they like to make everything super fresh, so I won't see much on display. That its best to call them and pre-order, so they can make it fresh. She said, "We are all about freshness". Yeah, but I want to see and taste something before I pre-order it. The decorated mini yellow cake cupcakes, filled with a bit of strawberry jam and vanilla cream. Three beautiful hand decorated roses made of frosting, covered the top. The amount of frosting seemed way more than the small amount of yellow sponge cake. It didn't seem worth $5, for such a tiny cupcake. I need more actual sponge cake to be satisfied. I wasn't particularly happy with these. The amount of actual sponge cake was barely one bite. Little mousse cups decorated with cute kawaii faces. Flavors: black sesame, chocolate, coconut, and mango. Tried the chocolate and the mango. These were pretty good! Both flavors had a nice rich creamy flavor. It also comes in this cool plastic cup with a screw top metal lid that can be re-used. Seating: There is only a few high stool seats by the window counter. Its a small space. Final note: If I'm in the neighborhood, I might try some other mousse flavors. But not at all impressed with their cupcakes.
I love this place so much. Always go J's Confections for all my birthday cakes for my family. They also make custom cake as well. I just send them a picture then she will make a nice and surprise cake for me. The desserts are delicious no matter which one you choose. We tried almost all of the cakes, pastries, cookies, etc. 100% recommend this place.
Their confections are overpriced in my opinion. I have not tried them so I can not comment on that but I have went for their brown sugar bubble tea. It's okay, the boba is not really fresh and the tea is just.. tea. I would only go here if you can not make it to other bubble tea stores in a jiffy.
i just recently worked with Jenny for my son's first birthday and everything turned out great. Not did everything came out so cute but all my guests raved about how good the desserts were. Me who is not a cake person loved and ate multiple pieces. I would highly recommend working with Jenny and her team. Thank you for everything!!!
The baker's skill in decoration of the desserts is absolutely amazing, but the taste and flavoring needs a lot of work! Also, everything is very expensive for the quality of the baked goods. My aunts frequently like to order from this bakery because of the way the cakes and macarons look, but not the taste. After a picture session with the cake, it sits there on the table barely touched. The cakes simply taste like regular vanilla cake that is not fluffy enough and the macaron fillings taste like plain butter. I truly do admire the various characters on the macarons though. However, while they may look different, there is no variety of flavors and fillings.

Brother bought these cute cakes for our parent's birthday and they are so stinking cute! It wasn't so sweet so that was a big plus in our family. The red cake was green tea sponge cake and the yellow one had a strawberry cheesecake filling. read more

Creative, tasty are the two words describes their pastries. My favorite are their fresh fruit tea, durian crepe cake and meat floss cream cake. Although last one might sound a bit funky yet it's the best and must have! read more

Jenny created a beautiful cake for me for a newly engaged couple. It was customized for me with the colors and flowers that I requested. Not only was it beautiful, but also light and tasty. It wasn't too sweet or heavy, so a perfect ending to our meal. J's Confections is a hidden gem and her cakes are truly works of art! read more

J's Confections has such great cakes! Just by looking at their designs, you know that they put a lot of love into their creations. I've ordered twice from them and each time their cakes did not disappoint. Both times I ordered the matcha flavor with fresh mangoes - it's so delicious! I highly recommend ordering from them. read more

Way overpriced for custom birthday cake. I ordered three times birthday cake for my daughter and many times at the store. I don't mind spending the extra money for custom cake but they are overpriced compared to other company. In November They charged me $108 for 6inch Elsa theme cake which was just some fresh cream cake with some plug-in decoration. First it was nothing closes to what I wanted and it overpriced by at least 30 dollars compared to other cake stores. I try giving them another chance after they screwup my order from the previous time. They had lost a customer and will never purchase again from them. The first photo is what I wanted for my cake, spent 108 and nothing close. The second photo is what I received. Greatly disappointed. Don't you spend your money here. There are way too many good cake stores in queens. read more

Their pastries are pricey for the quality. The cream puff was creamy but didn't have much taste other than there's tapioca in it. The only tasty part was the top layer. The Tiramisu cake's top layer was a bit bitter due to excessive cocoa powder. Overall, the cake was mediocre, and it is not worth getting. read more

Obsessed with the cake! It came out exactly like how I wanted it and my guests loved it. They all asked for seconds, which is always a good sign. (Asians are hard to please with desserts). Thank you J's Confections!! read more

I saw this little tea/dessert place in my way home and decided to give it a try. I ordered passion fruit green tea and a chocolate puff with matcha cream filling. Tea has great flavor with passion fruit seeds, a great surprise as most tea shops only use pure syrup without any fruit bites. I love the seeds not only because it adds nice crunch but also it's a thoughtful way to add freshness to an ordinary tea. The matcha cream in chocolate puff s light and airy with adequate matcha flavor. I'll try the popular milk tea cream filling (sold out that day) in my next visit. Staff is very polite. Shop is clean. Wish i have taken pic before I started drinking/eating. Puffs already gone in 10 seconds. I wish they had more variety for walk-in customers though. read more

My boyfriend and I originally came here for the bubble tea, which is pretty good, but decided to try out their sizable cream puffs as well. They come in four flavors: oreo, matcha, strawberry, and boba (our favorite). Though the place is pretty small, they have a lovely seating area and really cute decor. It's a minimalist space, which compliments their decorative dessert selection. They've got some adorable macaron sets and cakes. The woman behind the counter mostly speaks Mandarin, but was very accomadating and tried her best to communicate with us in English. Their cream puffs are fantastic; light and fluffy, with a sweet browned shell on top. The cream inside is generously distributed as well. Would definitely come again. read more

Came in here because it looked soooooo cute so I had to check it out. Originally here was a dumpling place which was meh but never had any business. I went there twice at 9am to get meh expensive dumplings. I just tried the cupcake today and I absolutely loved it. The jam made it! The light sweetness of the cupcake compliments the jam inside. It's a homemade jam too, I'm pretty sure. It was an okay price for $3.50. Everything looked soooo cute and I have to go again. They didn't have much to offer because it just opened (milk teas, macaroons, cakes, cupcakes, mouse). Hopefully this place does well. Will be coming back again and again. read more

My friend dropped off a small cake for my birthday and at first I was thrown back bc of the toppings... salted egg yolk and meat floss?! Skeptical that I would like it... I still went and took a bite and WOW, little did I know!!! Perfectly balanced savory and sweet flavors exploded!!! The cake was airy and fluffy with a light whipped cream layered in between. The frosting was savory and sweet with a nice pops of flavor from the meat floss. I am a fan now and v impressed by the flavor combo. I also tried the the chilled soup dessert with milk tea that had tapioca, grass jelly, sweet potato & taro balls and coconut pudding. The tea was ok but the sweet potato and taro balls were a bit dense, not chewy and didn't have any flavor. Would probably skip next time but will definitely get another cake!! read more

I called if they have bubba milk tea cake and told them i will be there to pick up. Upon arriving, I ask if they can bring it to my car outside since I couldn't park there. The lady was very nice to bring it out nicely packed with candle,paper plate, plastic fork,plastic knife, candle and happy birthday topper. The cake taste good just like bubble tea with a hint of early grey flavor. Thank you! read more
It was newly opened in place of ya long ba (which has no business at all). I got the grass jelly and lychee jelly milk tea. It was okay. It wasn't too sweet. The girl seems very shy and nervous being in front of the store. read more

The person was really nice and helpful when we called to order in a custom made cake, even when we were being indecisive. The cake came on time and it was really pretty. I honestly didn't want to cut the cake because it looked so nice. They added in small details like little pearls. It was all frosting and the decorations were also edible. I ordered chocolate cake with Oreo cream, and it tasted great!! It wasn't too sweet at all. The taste was perfect. You also get to keep the cake topper. I'll order here again. read more

So disappointed. I came here for bubble tea and you tell me you run out of bubbles after taking the payment and wait for you to make the drink? What a joke. Shady business. Should have tell the customer right from the get go. The slushy is full of big ice chunks. I will never come back read more
