To top it off, everything was DELICIOUS; we ordered the marble cake and red velvet cupcakes, which received SO many compliments (even the frosting was impossibly perfect and not too sweet- balanced very nicely with the cake flavors.) The cost for everything was unbelievably inexpensive as well; I feel very lucky to have found this place!

Incredibly unsatisfied with my cake. I put this order in…read moreabout 3 weeks ago, sent pictures with specifics to Jordan, and ordered 12 mini cupcakes on top of that. The cake was INCREDIBLE OVERPRICED! Well over $230 and thats for the smallest size (6 inch). On pickup today, i was so unhappy. It looked like a shein/temu version of what i had hoped for. Cheap decorative toppings. The girl who was working suggested I put it in the front seat so it wont move around too much. Welp! It DID! The top smashed into the box and the top layer started sliding off the bottom layer! I was angry! Because how does this place charge a lot more than your average shop and not have secure & larger boxes to place the cakes in!!!!! Wal mart could have done a better job for 1/6 of the price!!!! The yellow is what i wanted. The pink is the shein/temu version. Will not be ordering here again not recommending!

Thank you so much to the worker who saved the day and helped saved the birthday!!…read more I came in July after a terrible weekend and desperately needing a vanilla cake for a birthday. There was a family emergency that made it so all plans had to be cancelled and it was already a difficult time due to the emergency. I wanted to get a nice cake from a local bakery to help make up for the cancelled plans, so it can still feel like a birthday. I had tried several other places, but was unsuccessful. I went in to the store (about 10 minutes after closing, which I had no idea until later), explained the situation to the very kind and empathetic worker, and she found a vanilla cake in the back that was exactly perfect. I appreciate that she went above and beyond to try and help, especially because it was after closing and the cake that was provided to me wasn't originally for sale. Thank you so much!

It's looks like a house, an unassuming house but what it has inside is utter deliciousness. :-) The parking off Central is extremely limited (maybe three spots), but as we were leaving, I saw what may be parking in the rear. I did read an old review stating there was, but that it was also a small lot. Just be aware that parking could be tricky. We arrived around 9:55 this morning & had the lot to ourselves -- their cupcake supply was limited (small variety, empty plates). Next time we have to get there earlier! The gentleman behind the counter was very polite as we stood there gawking (okay, drooling) at the delectable sweets on display: vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, lemon, and vanilla sprinkle cupcakes, plus a few different cookies. We ordered three cupcakes & a cookie, plus tossed in an Arnold Palmer & mango tea drinks. He confirmed that they have their staple flavors, with a few seasonal flavors showing up from time to time. It's not a large ordering area so I imagine it can be pretty crowded when they're busy, and though I did see what appeared to be a side room, half of the space had no seating while the other half looked more like a meeting space vs a space for dining. As we were getting ready to leave the lot, the gentleman brought out a coupon for a free cupcake / cookie platter with a catering order. Yes! They cater. We will totally visit Red Velvet again, because we definitely want to try a couple of their shakes, as well as more of their goodies.

Not only did she take on our very last-minute request, but she was also so flexible with pickup times and just so genuinely kind throughout the whole process. The cake itself was delicious--so good, in fact, that everyone dove in and finished it before I could even get a picture! I can't recommend Emma and her business enough.

This place had a cute lil demo in the Women's Expo, for decorating cupcakes like a little flower…read more Apparently they have little cakes you can decorate at their shop for like events and whatnot. Omg. Like I host those for my minis but I would love to go to one where I don't have to do set up and prep. Yasss. Anyway, people are super nice there. Good vibes. I'll have to stop off at the actual shop sometime. The goods: They looked tasty so obvi I ordered a bunch. Giant macarons, peanut butter sandwich, oatmeal cream pie and chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate chip cookie has a sprinkle of sea salt on top, exactly how I like mine. It was FULL of chocolate chips. It's the only way. It wasn't too sweet, but obvi is sweet as it's a chocolate chip cookie. It was soft and chewy and these remind me of chocolate chip cookies my mom used to make when I was a child in the Midwest and she sold them to the ragbrai cyclists. Buy lots of these. The oatmeal cream pie is like an elevated Little Debbie in a big way. If you like oatmeal cream pies, this does not disappoint. The oatmeal cookie isn't too dense and even with the filling is sweet but hopscotches the line of sweet/too sweet. Overall if you have a glass of milk or coffee or tea with this, it's a treat. The peanut butter sandwich cookie. Perfect for peanut butter lovers. The filling is also peanut butter. If you are a peanut butter lover, you need to eat this. The giant macarons, were pretty close to how you want macarons to taste. It was a tiny bit too sweet for me. But I'm sure it's completely fine with a cup of tea or coffee. Crisp exterior, chewy almond goodness with a soft vanilla Swiss buttercream filling. I like that it's not super dense filling. Will I buy from there again? Absolutely.
