From initial contact to pickup, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Let's start at the end... the cake was PERFECT. It looked and tasted wonderful, and that alone deserves 5 stars. Going back to first contact, Mikka was responsive and listened closely to what I wanted. She gave me some excellent advice on how to approach what I wanted, and was great about providing options. The quote was very detailed and completely accurate. Her communication along the way was great throughout, and I was so pleased with the outcome. When it came time for the party, the attendees and the person of honor were wowed by the look and taste of the cake and everyone who has seen pics has been blown away. Overall a great experience!

Wow I am impressed with their macaroons and the old fashion cupcake…read more The macaroons are different from others that I tried. They are made with coarsely ground almonds with the skins intact. They do not add any food coloring or processed flavorings, so they are distinctly rustic and natural. It is not sticky, gooey or has too much sugar stuck on them. I like the hazelnut flavor. The cupcakes are decorated nicely. Their Italian Meringue Cupcake is a rich Double-Chocolate cake with a light and fluffy marshmallow-like texture makes me think of a hostess cupcake. I had two yellow cream cheese frosting gingerbread cupcakes, raspberry chocolate and strawberry vanilla cupcake. I am happy with the selection I received which is a great way to try and determine if this bakery knows how to make a good cupcake. I enjoyed their carrot cake cupcake. All cupcakes were nice and moist, the frosting is always the key to a good cupcake. Thank you and I hope to stop by again and try a cake.

We went late in the day which I assume affected the texture of the cake (They were a little dry). We got chocolate salted caramel which had great flavor. We especially liked the frosting which was fluffy and not too sweet, red velvet which had an artificial taste, banana which tasted too fake, and lemon which had a delicious custard or pudding filling. All in all, we enjoyed the cupcakes but next time we will try to get there earlier when they're fresher.

I came by one afternoon to pick up a little box for a little birthday celebration we were having for my dog (the dogs had their own pupcakes). The girl at the counter was very sweet. A box of four cupcakes was $25, so a bit on the pricier side. We enjoyed the cupcakes as they were well balanced in flavor without being too sweet - however I found the cake to be slightly too dense. For me a good cupcake has to have light and fluffy texture. While these were pretty good cupcakes, being a cupcake snob, I did not find them to be perfect for that reason!

The inside of the shop is so cute with a bunch of cupcake decorations. We ordered a Taro Cupcake and a Chocolate Tres leches cupcake. They were both very delicious and I preferred the Taro cupcake. It really tastes like Taro. I thought the chocolate tees leches cake would be a little more moist. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were helped right after. You order at the counter that has the cupcakes on display. There were a handful of people there ordering cupcakes!

The cookies were soft and chewy. Overall, a wonderful place for all your sweets
