Back in the day, this was THE place to get your special occasion cake. Birthdays, weddings, baby…read moreshowers, graduations...if you needed a cake, chances are you came to Cakes Plus. They've been a DMV staple for years and have built a solid reputation in the community. They've since moved into a much larger space, but they're still in Laurel and in the same shopping center. The new location is bright, clean, and has plenty of room to browse their cakes and baking supplies. The cake and cupcakes were fresh, moist, and exactly what I expected. Their designs are always top-tier, and more importantly, they taste just as good. The staff was friendly, and my order was ready on time. It's nice to see a longtime local business continue to THRIVE. In my opinion, they are still the "IT GIRL!!!"

The space is large and clean. Parking is easy! This place has potential but they could improve on their customer service and the floor space design. Overall, I'd recommend! Update: I love that business owner, Ms. Laura responded to my comment so promptly. Oof, I know what it's like to be on a short staffed team and I thank y'all for maintaining a decent respectable atmosphere in spite of the circumstances. Despite that, what you got cooking back there, oh it's something good!!! I look forward to visiting again.

Sweet Hearts Patisserie is a French style pastry shop on Annapolis. They are located in a shopping…read morecenter so there is lots of parking. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff were very friendly. Inside they played French instrumental music. Store is super clean and cute on the inside. They offer an extensive selection of flavors of their pasties which includes various macaron flavors, cupcakes, and cakes. I got a cannele, hazelnut financier and a mango iced matcha. The pastries were fresh, soft and mouth watering. The mango iced matcha was a little disappointing due to the bitter after taste of the drink. Looking forward to trying other pastries and other drinks at the patisserie.

There is seating available if you would like to enjoy a coffee or other heated beverage with your sweet treat. There is also the option to place orders for larger pastries, platters, cupcakes, and cakes. The staff working here was very kind and attentive. I opted for a small box that comes with two petite fours and three macarons. The macaron flavors that I tried were the salted caramel, milk chocolate amaretto, and dark chocolate. The petit four flavors that I tried were the red velvet and the triple chocolate. Everything I had here was so beautifully made and tasted fresh. I will definitely be back here again.

I am extremely disappointed and honestly angry about my experience. I preordered and paid for a…read morespecific cookie, as I normally do, and when I went in to pick it up, I was told by a young employee, "Oh, I just sold it, sorry." I was completely confused. How do you sell a cookie that has already been purchased by a customer? I had already paid for it and was there specifically to pick up my order. She then asked if she could offer me another cookie. No. If I wanted another cookie, I would have ordered another one. I ordered a specific cookie for a reason. She then offered me a refund, which I agreed to. At that point, William, a shift lead, came over and told me they could not process my refund and that I would have to wait for a manager. When I asked for the manager, I was told "they don't have one." So let me understand this: Crumbl took my money, sold the product I had already purchased to someone else, and then could not refund me because there was apparently no manager available. William explained that although he was a shift lead, he did not have the ability to authorize the refund, and apparently only certain leads or a manager can do so. He gave me the manager's email and told me I could reach out to get my money back. This is some of the poorest customer service I have ever experienced. Mistakes happen, but what is unacceptable is having no ability to resolve the mistake for the customer who was directly affected by it. I should not have to chase down a manager by email to get a refund for a product that I already paid for and never received. I am extremely disappointed with how this was handled and expect my refund to be processed immediately. Customers should not be left paying for products that employees accidentally sell to someone else, nor should they be expected to figure out how to get their money back afterward. Crumbl needs to do better. This should not be allowed to happen.

Not worth coming here trust me!…read more A bake shop that specializes in making cakes and cupcakes. You can't just walk in and order a cupcake, like other places. The minimum order is 6! And they arent cheap. So be prepared to wait 15 minutes for a minimum order. I got strawberry shortcake and pretty in pink. The icings of both were good but cake part was less to be desired. The cake was a little mushy and not firm and not tasty. Definitely not of high quality ingredients. It would be nice if they offered other baked goodies that you can get without waiting. On my first visit my guy, was pleased to see a blacked owned business in the area. The owner seemed to be insulted by the comment. She snapped back and said we are a "woman owned business" in a sassy tone. Ummm ok lady, dude was trying to give you a compliment okay! For an expensive cupcake place you would expect better decor. Not sure if the women there are all related but they need to lose the stale face attitude and save the snotty comments and they should lower their prices on their low quality cupcakes.

They gave me the price over the phone and I described exactly what I was looking for and they ensured me it would be perfect. Well time came and I arrived and let's just say the cake was beautiful. The best looking Cake I have ever laid my eyes on. The taste let's just say it is heaven on earth. Call them up or swing on by they can make dreams happen here.

I reached out to Valencia at the last minute after a well known bakery in Maryland became unprofessional and completely disappeared just one week before my wedding. Without hesitation, she accepted my large order and delivered beyond my expectations. The desserts were exceptional, and her professionalism, communication, and customer service gave me so much peace of mind during an already stressful time. Since then, she's been my go to baker for every event I have in the DMV, as well as personal celebrations. The only reason I'd ever order from someone else is if she's fully booked. She's that good.

The spot is open 24 hours, though fair warning, I do advise you to go during the day (like before 11am) because donuts specifically their more popular donuts can sell out rather quickly. I also love that they do specialty donuts like a PB Cup and a S'mores ones! They do this thing called Donut of the Month where each month they release a new specialty donut that's available all month long for purchase.

And to top it off, the staff is lovely. Come on in and support this small business. They are worth every penny.

Not what I asked! It was as if she made the name to small and needed to fill in the blank space with something. She offered and agreed to remake a half dozen (which we were counting on). She later changed her mind and refunded me the money for the order. The damage how ever was done, it was my daughter's first birthday and we wanted everything to be perfect. This Caused unnecessary stress the day before the party. I do not recommend.

The detail that she put into them is unlike any other...the little apple bits inside the actual cupcake, a wonderful surprise! Now, Morie was kind enough to bake a flavor that is not on her menu at my request. The "pineapple upside down cake".....with the pineapple on the bottom...yeah, I know, typical for an full size cake but definitely pleasantly surprised to find one on the bottom of the cupcake! I am so glad to have found That's So Morie and will definitely be referring her to my clients, friends, family and colleagues. She pulled through in a pinch on a last minute request with all of the love that only a homemade dessert could offer and I am so grateful!
