    Loved it ! Inside and out
    Cherry C.

    I was so happy with the cake Ruth made! I was having a surprise 50th Birthday Party for My husband . I wanted this funny toilet paper cake . I showed her a picture and it turned out even better than the picture ! I was so pleased the cake tasted as good as it looked! I tried the marble with vanilla mousse . My husband likes simple flavors so I didn't get to try some of the other special flavors Ruth makes . After this I will be trying something else ! Thank you Ruth for doing such a great job!!

    We celebrated our BFFs' birthday party with a tea! we dressed up for the occasion and we were all surprised at how dainty the set up was... the host, Ruth, was very warm and accommodating and has carefully selected and prepared each food and drink by herself... everything beautifully presented but also very tasty! We are all very pleased... and full LOL...

    Custom red velvet cake pops!

    DELICIOUS CAKE POPS! Ruth's cake pop is rich and is of high quality! We ordered 9 dozen for $42/dozen since they were customized for our wedding 5*12*19. I emailed her and she was very informative and replied as soon as she's able to. She's also very friendly.

    I can't say enough nice things about Ruth. My family and I flew into Vegas from Fresno for a surprise 60th birthday for my mom. I expressed to Ruth just how important this dinner was and she went above and beyond to perform. She made the cake BETTER then the image provided,.. and she also delivered the cake with more then enough time in advance to the restaurant. I truly can't thank Ruth enough for her hard work. Not only was the cake gorgeous, it was Delicious.

    We had both a cake and cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday, and everything was delicious. They were light and tasty, but not too sweet. To us and our guests, everything was perfect. We would definitely order from here again.

    Ruth makes deliciously amazing cakes! It is the best in Vegas! I would recommend to anyone, specially the Ube cake!

    Found them on Instagram after seeing a pic of their silvanas! I had to try them right away so I DM'd Ruth and she made the order process sooo easy! I picked them up the next day and got a dozen assorted silvanas (matcha, cookies and cream, original, ube, mocha, and chocolate) I will definitely be ordering more from her!

    Very pleased with the services provided by Need For Sweets! We requested services for your baby's first birthday, and were not disappointed! From the beginning Ruth was very informative and made sure we understood our options available! She made sure she understood what it was we requested! We ordered this beautiful two layered cake, with last minute orders of cake pops! Both were absolutely delicious, moist, and flavorful! Would highly recommend her services and would be a returning client!

    I randomly found this wonderful local baker through yelp and she was amazing. I ordered cake pops as our wedding favour and it was the best I've had. Not too sweet and super moist. She even helped me wrap it nicely and add the sticker label on it which saved me time on the wedding day. The cake I ordered was a vanilla cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Again, it was perfect. Everyone loved it! She even made taster samples for us before we placed the order. I definitely recommend her for any of your special events!

    Ruth made our cake exactly as we wanted it....and we made all the arrangements strictly via texts and emails. She also made us heart-shaped leche flan, as a custom request. The merengue and silvanas were a huge hit. Her dessert creations for our special event are not only delicious, they're also gorgeous.

    Ruth was so nice and her work was amazing!! My daughters birthday cake was everything I imagined it to be. I told Ruth exactly what I would like on it and she brought it to life! Everyone at our party kept saying how yummy the cake was and how beautiful the design was. I couldn't agree more! HIGHLY recommend!

    Moving from Cali to LV meant leaving behind all the good bakeries we ordered cakes and desserts from. And it's usually a hit or miss when it comes to finding a good cake shop/cake maker. While I was planning for my daughter's birthday party, I came across needforsweetsLV on instagram, so I messaged Ruth. She was so patient with me since I had to change a couple things I ordered but she was accommodating. I ordered ube cake, meringue cookies, chocolate raspberry tartlets and fruit tarts for my daughter's birthday. I'm so glad I found her on Instagram! The Ube cake was amazing! I showed her the picture of what I wanted it to look like and it looked beautiful and it tasted soooo good! Everyone at my daughter's party loved it, even the ones who have never heard of or tried "ube." She made it perfectly moist and the level of sweetness is just right. I just love how the desserts she made weren't too sweet. They're the kind of desserts that you won't get tired of easily because of the sweetness. I can't say enough good things, you just have to try what she makes! I also ordered some silvana cookies and I can't wait to try those!!! We will definitely order more goodies from her.

    Ruth is amazing! I've used her twice for cakes and they have both come out perfectly and exactly like I asked. Not to mention they are absolutely delicious! She is always nice and, although I unfortunately have not been able to meet her yet, both people I've had pick up the cakes have said she is a complete sweetheart. I will definitely continue choosing Ruth for my cake needs!

    Hiyee Rie! She's one of the regular staff members here who has always been friendly and hard…read moreworking. No doubt she's a top member of this company, if not, ehem! Should be! After so many years of coming to Suzuya. I must say, they are very consistent and by now I think I've tried every regular item and plenty of yummy seasonal items. We love the salads when we're avoiding sugary stuff & pair it with a straight forward Matcha. For the desserts/pastries, my family loves the strawberry cake for birthdays. Me, I don't like cake unless it's cheesecake & they have a variety. Personally I do love the Yuzu Panna Cotta (ya I prolly spelt that wrong). && the macaroons are super great, ima MAC kinda guy, so a variety of flavors is a W! For the vibe inside! I love the music not having lyrics, super chill jazzy upbeat. So it's easy to concentrate for conversations, reading and online work. It's always very clean, constant flow of customers, some apparel & grab n go items. The colors are a soft wood, white and green plants all around with some gold accents and a clean appearance of staff, with positive attitudes. If I wanting anything more from the biz, it would be a reward system & larger sized drinks. I know bigger drinks aren't necessarily good for us, so I get it :-/ haha. Either way, 10 out of 10 biz!

    Thank you, Mike, for taking the time to respond. I appreciate your acknowledgment of the other…read moreservice issues I experienced. However, I do want to clarify one very important point regarding my service dog. He was calm, quiet, and completely under control throughout the entire visit. He was not active, disruptive, or vocal at any time. He is a trained service dog, not a pet. I also want to clarify that under the ADA, a person with a service dog cannot be required to sit outside simply because they are accompanied by a service animal. Service dogs are generally permitted to accompany their handlers in areas where customers are normally allowed. A service animal may only be excluded in limited circumstances, such as when the animal is out of control and the handler does not take effective action, or when the animal is not housebroken. Neither of those circumstances applied here. So while I understand your policy regarding active or vocal dogs, that does not describe my dog or what happened during my visit. He was calm and caused no disturbance whatsoever. I sincerely hope your staff can be better informed about the distinction between pets and service animals so that another customer with a legitimate service dog is not made to feel unwelcome or told they MUST sit outside.

    Wow! Total vibe check. It's a 180 from the last time I was here. How can I describe it? I think…read morejoyful. Staff was smiling and one girl even started dancing. It felt ok to hang out. The countertops were spotless and with no stools or seating it's easy to see why. The place is profoundly busy and tiny, so there isn't really room to host a bunch of people. Even their employees must not have a break room, so they sit in a roped off area at a little table with their back to the customers for added privacy. It's really not private though. I heard my name called and I scooped up my cup of green delight. Oh I do adore warm boba. The cool creamy honeydew sweetness enveloped the chewy anise pearls and it was a decadent treat I absolutely savored. I didn't feel rushed and I lingered just a bit while I enjoyed my honeydew boba. Welcome - that's how I felt. What a truly nice feeling.

I wanted to make sure we stopped by before we left Vegas as this was a highly recommended and rated bubble tea shop. What we tried: Hokkaido Milk Tea - 4.5/5 Royal Ceylon Tiramisu Cheese Latte - 5/5 Phoenix Oolong Cheese Latte - 4.5/5 Loved all the drinks we got! They all had this great balance of bold tea flavor while not being overly sweet. Their boba was perfectly cooked too--soft and chewy--the kind we really enjoy having. No hard centers on these bobas. They also had their own flavor and slight bit of sweetness that added just the right amount of flavor and texture to the drinks. The place was clean and well ventilated, the staff who served us was nice, and service was actually pretty quick. I can see now why this bubble tea shop has very high praises and ratings on Yelp. We'll certainly be back here when we come to visit Vegas again!

    Frequent this place often when having a sweet tooth…read more Good options for Asian desserts/soups. Service is spotty. The Plus is there is lots of options. Love the sago and non dairy options...ie papaya, watermelon sago, coconut jelly. Hot soup desserts are decent as well walnut and sesame soup, peach gum. Also Highly recommend blended beverages (but beverage is served in plastic not like photos in tall beautiful glasses that gives it a higher sense of value) Souffle pancake looks better than it taste. Kinda bland and very eggy. Do not recommend Cons: Service is 2-3 star depending on business level. You may wait or get ignored depending on volume, but they do get to you as soon as they can and try their best. It is on the 2nd level. Went with elderly parents and used elevator (located in the entrance of double doors right between the somi somi and boba shop) Will come back for desserts.

    I've been coming to Shanghai Plaza for years and always saw the posters for Sweethoney Dessert,…read morewhich showed amazing looking desserts on them. Eager to finally try the place, imagine my disappointment when I took a bite of this beautiful dessert, to be met with nothing but the taste of egg whites. It was already a steep price of $15 + tax & tip, but for it to not to have the flavor profile of anything besides egg just felt like a scam. The fruit was the best tasting thing on the plate and I was sad when that was finished. On top of this, the ambiance inside felt hectic and sweaty with the lack of ventilation. I think this was a good reminder that some desserts are made to look good on Instagram, but lack in every other department.
