    Strawberry short cake
    Metapod M.

    Got cake for fiance birthday. She very happy. Cake taste very good. Recommend highly. 10/10

    a pastry with icing

    We stopped in to try some goodies and boy, are we upset that we haven't made it to Q's Cakes yet when it's just down the street from our house. We grabbed the Chocolate Chip Brownie, Cookie Butter Brownie, Red Velvet Cupcake, and Cinnamon Caramel Cupcake. Before I get into the tasty treats, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate this little shop. The owners are just as sweet as their baked goods. Although we were all in masks, I could tell we were greeted with a smile and we were made to feel at home with the friendly conversation that ensued as we ordered. We started off with the Red Velvet - the cupcake was deliciously moist and the cream cheese frosting was delectable - not too sweet and not too tangy. The cupcake was a little bit on the smaller side, but we still felt it was worth it's price. As my sweet tooth would tell you, there is no such thing as a bad cupcake My husband then said "he didn't feel like another cupcake" (who says that) so we moved on to try a couple bites of the brownies. To start, these brownies are HUGE! I'd say they're at least 3"x4" which is a great bang for your buck. With the Chocolate Chip Brownie, I was really expecting a super rich, smack-you-in-the-face chocolate experience and it fell a little short for me - now that doesn't mean that it wasn't still super yummy and I didn't eat the whole thing With the Cookie Butter Brownie, I didn't know what to expect truly. One bite in and this brownie immediately reminded me of a Brookie (part brownie, part cookie deliciousness). This one is right up my husbands alley as he's not chocolate obsessed like me. All in all with the brownies, they didn't blow me out of the water, but I would most definitely return to try all of the other flavors Q's has to offer. Last but not least, we dug into the Cinnamon Caramel Cupcake. Let's just take a pause to talk about the ADORABLE mini cinnamon bun that comes on the top of the cupcakes - I mean, come on, it's so cute! In terms of taste, I wasn't sure how cinnamon and caramel we're going to combine here, but it was actually really tasty! Good customer service alone would make us sure to return to support this black-owned small business in the future even if the treats were nothing special, but this definitely is not the case. Taste alone merits another visit to try the entire assortment of tasty treats served up by Q. I can't wait to get my hands on a Banana Pudding Cupcake next

    Step one to making the flower cupcake...add a little frosting.

    I learned about Q's Cakes at a recent Yelp event. Q was not only giving us sample cupcakes, she was actually teaching us how to make beautiful little creations by adding a little frosting and then attaching cut mini-marshmellows to make the cupcakes look like flowers. They were so cute! Any yummy, too! Q was really nice and kept checking on us to see if we needed help...or more marshmallows! I am looking forward to going to her bakery and sampling her other bakery treats! From the photos I see, they are beautiful and calling my name.

    What a wonderful woman.  Who was extremely nice and helpful and makes amazing brownies.  I will definitely be back.

    WOW!!!!! I went to Q's Cakes with my daughters and we ordered all different flavor brownies. We were not disappointed with one. They were big in size, they were soft and mine was full of chocolate chips. They tasted like heaven in a square. The lady in the picture, who helped us, was the nicest person you could meet. Very friendly and helpful. I can not wait to taste her cakes. If you live on the Westside it is a little far for us but I promise everything in that store is worth it.

    Pina Colada cupcake
    Nicole O.

    GET OUT OF HERE WITH HOW AMAZING THIS PLACE IS !!! We had a sweet tooth evening. The boyfriend went in with 15 minutes left on the clock. He was greeted with a friendly smile and an attentive baker. We could not choose. We got a dozen!! It was $30 and it was 100% worth it. The love that goes into these cupcakes!!! The Pina Colata was magical. I'm not sure if there is rum in them but you get those nodes mixed with coconut shavings, fall-apart-in-your-mouth-moist cake, and a vanilla buttercream frosting. TAKE MY MOUTH BACK!! I've never had a cupcake like this. Second, red velvet cake: I am really picky with these because my mom made me and my bro red velvet growing up every year for our birthdays. A lot of people just add red dye to a chocolate cake and call it "red velvet." Naww, it is the use of apple cider vinegar and TLC that makes red velvet a cake of its own. This was SPOT ON!!! The nice buttercream frosting helped it because it's usually paired with cream cheese frosting and can be too much, not this place. The 'simple' vanilla cupcake: not simple at all. Moist, creamy, not overpowering in the least. Third, the German Chocolate one's.... HOLY MOLEY!! Again, people make a chocolate cake and put a coconut-like frosting on it and call it German chocolate, frauds. Not this woman!! The very light, fluffy, and moist actual German chocolate was the base, inside the historical coconut-flaked-icing was out of this world!!! Lastly, the Strawberry Crunch-- this is a making that is ALL HER!!! I had no reference to go off of except box strawberry cake. Writing this I have a visceral reaction, in the best way. This was, just like the others, super moist but didn't fall apart till it hit your mouth. The buttercream had a strawberry crunch topping that made the textures in your mouth pair with the sheer amazing strawberry flavors, but nothing was overwhelming. Each bite, of each cupcake, HIT THE SPOT and took you somewhere outside of this pandemic. Outside of the state of the world. It took me to my happiest places from my youth. I was legitimately transformed into the proverbial "kid in the candy store" but in my own kitchen. I have nothing bad to say except I should have ordered a whole cake!!! You must pre-order cakes, ok? 10/10 would come back every day if my hips didn't pay the price. These cupcakes were made with love, education, and based on the historic recipes. No short-cuts, but her own special twists welcomed.

    If you're looking for quality in both product AND customer service, look no farther. Q worked hard to meet our needs even though we worked solely through email (we are from out of town). The cake she made was absolutely delicious and was as much chocolate as our 7 year old requested. It was gorgeous and so well done. It was absolutely everything we asked for and more! She made time for us to pick up the cake (mostly at our leisure), and was such a kind sweet lady to chat with during pick-up. Would strongly suggest for any occasion.

    An elite brownie perk got us in the door of this sweet little shop in the university district. Boy are we glad it did. That visit introduced us to the Qs cakes cupcakes. Being house-made and hand-decorated, they're worth the difference in price from the standard fare at grocery stores. Most especially the banana cream cupcake, with its super-secret extra shot banana custard at the bottom. I don't want to ignore the brownies that got us in the door, even if the tiny cakes are the things of dreams. The brownies (we had the classic fudge and the cookie butter) were gooey, rich, and had that perfect slightly-crisp exterior that made us want to go right back in and get a couple more. Unlike the ones I make at home, though, they stayed soft, rich, and gooey for three days in the fridge before I finished the last bite. All-in-all, if I ever get to go back into the office, this is the place I'm getting cupcakes for my beloved coworkers.

    I would love to try the cakes from here, as they look absolutely stunning! I will definitely be back to order one for a special occasion! As for my visit, my family sampled three of the cupcakes, which were decent. There was nothing particularly special about the cupcakes, but this might have been due to the fact that we came an hour before closing so they might not have been as fresh. The selection was also limited so I would like try others next time I visit. The staff was very friendly and I had a great experience in the shop overall. We also tried the brownies. I enjoyed the Oreo cookie brownie but was not much of a fan of the regular brownie as it was a bit too bitter and earthy. Can't wait to see what my next visit has in store!

    We ordered two 9 inch cakes for our twin boys, and they were amazing! Everyone loved them! Thank you so much!

    Shout out to this business for keeping it sweet even with the pandemic. Those brownies were divine! Perfect to serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I shared this at work and let me tell you, they're coming to see you guys soon. Thank you for being warm during my visit. Although the ambiance could use more TLC I will definitely be back for more deliciousness! Guys share this place to friends searching for party desserts or just desserts. I can't wait to work with them! Thanks Q!

    Butter pecan wedding cake, served about 12-14 slices
    Erin S.

    We got our wedding cake at Q's and had a great experience. We scheduled an initial tasting and sampled a handful of cupcakes to get a sense of the different options. My favorite was the key lime, but it was neon green and not very "wedding-y" haha. We went with butter pecan and all of our guests commented on how delicious it was. We bought a few faux flowers in our wedding color palate that Q included on the cake for us, which was lovely. It was simple and classy. She also dropped it off at our reception venue (Zinc) for us, which was above-and-beyond service wise. She even offered to make us a complementary treat for our first anniversary! Highly recommend for your special occasion cakes or just a little something sweet.

    My husband's family has been getting birthday cakes from ABC Cake Shop for his entire life. That tradition died today. We have never truly tasted out-of-this-world birthday cake until we came to Q's Cakes and Sweets Bakery! I ordered the Red Velvet/Cheesecake cake for my husband's birthday after seeing it in ABQ the Magazine and reading my friend's Yelp reviews about how amazing the cakes are from here. Let me tell you - the reviews cannot possibly describe how delicious Q's stuff is! You HAVE to taste it to understand it yourself! This cake starts with a layer of red velvet then has an entire cheesecake in the middle and finishes it with a layer of red velvet cake on the top. It then has cream cheese frosting in rose pattern all over. It is pure heaven!!! Where has this cake been all of our lives?! Even better, Q's cakes has online ordering on the website! It was the easiest part of arranging my husband's birthday! I just ordered online and paid via PayPal and emailed via the website with the date and time of pick up! So convenient!!!

    90th Birthday Cake
    Stephanie C.

    I got a cake here for my Grandpas 90th Birthday. I was hoping for a special and we'll done cake. I showed them a picture of what I wanted and described the details I wanted. They exceeded my expectations and did an excellent job :) Will go back for future sweets and cakes for special occasions!
