But when I saw the cake in person, I was sooo happy! It looked very well put together. And I kept on telling everyone how excited I was about the cake! We ended up taking some of the cake home and though was in the fridge for a couple of days it was still moist and still tastes great. She doesn't charge a fortune either, I would definitely order from her again for my next party.

I've ordered several cakes from Sweet Chaos and I've had nothing but great reviews. One of my…read morefavorite fillings that they've managed to perfect is the Red Velvet filling with vanilla cream cheese layers (I am salivating as I write this by the way). Her pricing is absolutely under par.. I've purchased a designed cake from a bakery in Verona and paid three times what Sweet Chaos charged me for a custom made cake. I really recommend asking for some ideas on designing the cake or cupcakes - the vision that Amy has is beyond a few tiers of cake with different colored fondant.. it's a masterpiece the describes the event or the person. I have to emphasize how talented and professional Amy is and her ability to tailor a pastry to my liking.

When I needed to plan for my daughter's birthday, it was a no-brainer. Kaylyn was super communicative and helpful; I sent photos of my daughter's party invitation and she did the rest in terms of design. It was simply spectacular! Gorgeous beyond what I could even imagine. She was also helpful in discussing amounts (size of cake, amount of cupcakes, servings and leftovers) to make sure we had plenty without overdoing it. She never tried to get me to order more or spend more, which I respected. The morning of pickup, Kaylyn sent me abundant photos and videos of the cake and cupcakes and I was blown away! She was flexible with pickup at her house, provided cake cutting instructions and storage tips, and made the whole process easy. We received a ton of compliments at the party on how gorgeous the cake and cupcakes were, and the flavors were a hit! As delicious to the tummy as they are to the eye! I will definitely be using Sweetcheeks for our family parties going forward!

Frosting was fresh, fluffy and not too sweet. Cake had good flavor. It was light and fluffy so didnt feel like traditional Dominican cakes which are rich and denser. The filling was dulce de leche mixed with pineapple- a first for me as places usually have either dulce de leche alone and pineapple alone. It was a bit sweet as I usually do pineapple since I find dulce de leche in Dominican cake too sweet of a combination. -As of 03/2022, prices are: $4 for a slice $35 for 1/2 lb cake $60 for 1lb cake Overall good general cake (okay for a Dominican cake) at a decent price.

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

Edit: I want to note that the comment below says pricing is reflected online. I just wanted to…read moreinclude some screenshots of the website to show that nowhere does it say writing a "happy birthday" on the cake and adding basic piping to the edges is going to cost $45. I still believe that should have been disclosed upon ordering. I want to start by saying that the staff was very kind, and both the ordering and pickup experiences were pleasant. Everyone I interacted with was nice, and I do want to give them credit for that. That said, the cake itself just was not very good, which was the biggest disappointment. We ordered a vanilla cake with Oreo filling for my son's birthday, and unfortunately it was dense, overly sweet, and overwhelming. I didn't see a single person finish their slice, and those who did take a bite to see if they wanted their own decided against it. We ended up cutting only about 10 slices, and more than half the cake was never even cut (and thrown away). For a cake that ended up costing $220 for 15-20 people, I expected something much better. I also did not realize until I saw my credit card statement the day of the party that the total was that high, and I was not told that the basic decoration/name would add another $45. I understand they are covering themselves by saying "may include fees" but for the basic cake If the cake had been expensive but delicious, I would have felt differently. But given the taste, the amount that went uneaten, and the lack of clarity around the final price, I would not order this cake again.
