Kuppie's is a cute little family owned bakery with convenient parking and excellent service…read more The downside is that they offer zero vegan items (to be expected and zero points off for that). We went for my husband, and he did not find their food to be palatable in taste of flavor. He also said the items that he selected were on the "dry" side.

I can't believe that I never have done a review for my most beloved Bakery - obviously Kuppies…read more This is a small family owned business. I used to live in VP - now out of state -- but when I come into town, I often stop to get bakery to take while visiting my family. The selection, quality, and prices can not be beat. I buy strudels, coffee cakes, donuts, pecan rolls - which are my favorites, cookies and sweet rolls and made to order Italian cannoli - which they fill before you pick them up. I so very much miss my home bakery, and I am longing for a pecan roll. Hopefully, I will get some in May when I visit.

Got a bunch for Independence Day lunch since the weather is unpredictable and I don't think we'll be able to grill. Super friendly staff.

You won't be disappointed.

Had to get another waitress to translate that I wanted a glass of water. Pointed to picture in menu to order. They did bring me a small plate of French fries before my meal.

Whenever I'm in the mood for cupcakes, I always end up at Smallcakes. Their cupcakes are…read moreconsistently delicious, the frosting is AMAZING, and the staff is always so kind and attentive. In fact, the last time I was there, the sweet young lady behind the counter complimented my style, which honestly made this 40-something feel pretty good about herself. Such a small gesture, but it genuinely made my day. I tried to snap a picture of all the cupcakes we got, but the kids devoured theirs before I had the chance. I'm not sure what the chocolate cupcake with the pretzel on top is called, but it is hands-down my absolute favorite. My husband loves the Wedding Cake and Lemon Drop cupcakes. But if you ask Marley and Mary Jane for their opinion... it's definitely two paws up. These two go absolutely crazy anytime they see a Smallcakes box come into the house because they know I brought them a little pup treat too. I love that Smallcakes offers something for the dogs as well -- such a cute touch. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cupcake spot that's both delicious and welcoming.

A pretty solid cupcake place. Wanted to try a different place for my birthday so I gave it a go…read more I picked up from the Elmhurst location which is the closest to me. It's a small shop located in a plaza. It's pretty bare on the inside. I was immediately greeted upon entry and the lady who checked me out was really nice. She showed me my order before I accepted it. Presentation looked great! They had most of their flavors on display as well as other miscellaneous products like dog cupcakes, decor, etc. The quality of the cupcakes were fresh and hefty. Taste was good but nothing amazing.

My favorites are Pineapple. Their Caramel Empanadas are also delicious and I hear their Cakes and Cupcakes are some of the best. I haven't tried them yet, so I can't vouch for them, but I have had a the Flan and it's fantastic! When you walk into the Fruit Market, go to the left and they'll be in the front corner of the grocery store. There isn't much to separate them from the rest of the store except for a partition of pastries. Grab a tray and some tongs, pick out what you want, and head to the register by the refrigerated desserts. You don't pay for these at the main checkout. They accept cash and credit. You can also place and purchase orders for pickup.

Granted it was a baby with a mohawk riding a giant carrot, but that is what they wanted. In fact, Gena said she would make wreckplicas for anyone if asked. That sounded pretty cool. Again, as time was short for me, I hadn't asked if she made vegan cakes. If I find out I'll update.

I did all my communicating with Gena through email, she asked for a picture of my (now) husband's favorite guitar he owns so that she can make personally just for him. Additionally, she added an AMP that matched his own one, a real guitar stand, petal and made it all with a turn on switch that lit up the ON button!! We were so shocked, EVERYONE in the restauraunt was asking who and where did I get the cake from!! There are no words for this cake, it was perfection!! The best part is it tasted soooo good too!! Gena can make any flavor, or filling, any design, she is simply the best! Thank you for making my groom SO happy on our special day Gena!!
