You know, I was pleasantly surprised with the cupcakes here…read more I came in after my hair appointment at Sonique. Now that they've moved to this new location, it's much more convenient for me! I never had the desire to visit their old location but I've had them bookmarked on Yelp, since forever. I walked in and the owner (I think) was speaking to a customer. I didn't mind waiting since I was trying to kill a bit of time anyways. The customer ahead of me was so considerate and asked if I was getting any "Serendipity" cupcakes because she was buying several of them. I wasn't, but how nice! Not only was the customer nice, but so was the owner! Such a pleasant experience with her. She's so lovely and sweet, she talks to everyone as if she's known them for years. I ended up getting a single cupcake for my gf for her bday, a vanilla cupcake for me and a Nutella cupcake for my bf. The owner even took it upon herself to tie a bow on the cupcake for my gf! So sweet! Cupcakes are very reasonably priced and cheaper than most places at 2.99 per cupcake. 6 or more cupcakes and there's no tax. Finally the cupcake review lol. Yummy! I actually really enjoyed the cake of the vanilla cupcake. It didn't crumble and was denser than most cakes but still moist. The icing is buttercream and it's very light and airy. Too be honest the star of the cupcake was the cake. Very nice. Since they've passed my vanilla cupcake test, I'm very curious to see what the red velvet tastes like. Can't wait to try it. Wishing this business all the success at their new location! :)

It's a great story, but I'm also pleased that based on the product alone, they're still fully deserving of a positive review. Lots of cupcake flavors to choose from and the icing is made with proper cream. About $3 each, but cheaper by the dozen (or even half-dozen) and no tax. It's certainly a no-brainer if you're looking for cupcakes and in the area.

Stopped by the plaza between my son's basketball games. While my son enjoyed a slice I picked up an…read moreapple pound cake and some pecan butter tarts to take home. The cake was really delicious with a decent amount of apple chunks and a nice cinnamon flavour. The butter tarts were excellent too. I can't remember the last time I bought butter tarts but the square shape of the tarts here caught my eye. They weren't overly sweet (although they were butter tarts so they were pretty sweet) and had a nice subtle maple flavour. Very good!

But it's still quite close to the downtown Brampton area. It definitely has an independently run feel to it - almost like Ice Cream Cafe downtown and from the decor. They've got a bit of everything. Cupcakes may be their signature as it's in their logo and they had quite a bit of options. I know some other reviewers expressed some disappointment with these (and macaroons) but I didn't order either. My daughter wanted ice cream and my son wanted a donut. Like I said, they have a bit of everything so I was able to satisfy both of their cravings. The ice cream is Chapman's - so nothing exceptional, but does the job and the price is okay. My son got a jelly-filled donut and I got an apple fritter. I can't speak to the experience of others who felt their items were store-bought, but that wasn't my experience at all with the donuts. They both had a unique, homemade taste to them and much better than Tim's. Perhaps a little more expensive than Tim's, but not much and certainly nowhere near as expensive as some of these 'designer' donut shops are charging. On another note, incidentally today I was at a Canada Day event where cookies were handed out and had been prepared by Occasions. It was a simple sugar cookie, but I can say that they were soft and didn't give the impression of being store bought. I'll certainly come back and it's nice to have their type of selection which can keep everyone in the family happy.

It really pains me to have to give such a low rating…read more I've been wanting to visit this place for awhile and decided it was time this past Saturday. I'm on the hunt for some really good sugar cookies and this was the only bakery that I could find in Brampton that had them. It's a cute little shop in a random rundown plaza. When you walk in, you're overwhelmed by all the different types of treats. I decided to treat myself to a vanilla cupcake and sugar cookie. They had several designs of sugar cookies for sale. I went with the cloud. Also, helllooo I always judge places on their vanilla cupcakes. The packaging was super cute. I didn't even say it was for a bday or anything, so I guess they always package everything with tissue paper. I had a bite of the sugar cookie when I got in my car and unfortunately, I did not enjoy it. It left a lingering, almost artificial taste in your mouth. I know everything is made in house, which made it even more disappointing. I was expecting a fresher homemade taste. When I got home I dug right into the cupcake. Again, sadly not so great. The cupcake did taste store bought. Don't get me wrong, the actual cake part wasn't too bad, but it didn't have the texture and taste I'd hope for. The icing also had that artificial taste. Like I said, it really pains me to write this review as I love supporting local businesses. Also, I know everything is made in house, that's why I was expecting more. I also prefer that they didn't fill the cupcakes with icing. I think it's too much when places do this. Sadly, I won't be returning. If anyone knows where I can get sugar cookies in the peel region, holla!!

I was long overdue to finally trying this place. I also 'owed' them a visit too after getting free…read morecookies from them at various DT Brampton events and not having followed up for a return visit. We wanted to do something that felt a bit more COVID-friendly for my sons's birthday, so we opted for cupcakes instead of cake. I hadn't planned much in advance, so I depended on buying whatever they had available. When I arrived they had: raspberry, lemon, vanilla, chocolate, red velvet and strawberry. We got all but strawberry and then brought it to the event. First, they looked terrific, but most importantly, the taste was great. The cake part of the cupcakes did their job, but icing is what defines and makes (or breaks) a good cupcake. If there was a downside, the icing is clearly such good quality and made from real cream as it started to melt as we had it outside (but shaded) for about 45 minutes before service. No fault on their end of course, and just speaks to the higher quality. They really nailed having it just sweet enough without being too sweet, and with all the intended flavours coming out and being the star. For example, the lemon was apparent and had to have been made with real lemon rather than entirely on an extract. I suspect the same about the raspberries - or at the very least they have a more natural mix for it as well. My wife said the red velvet was the best she'd ever had. We served about 10 people and everyone raved about them and many asked for the company info. You pay a little more than other places, but the value is worth it at the first bite. They also do other items such as macaroons, cookies and cakes. I'm not sure whether they have ready-made cakes as I didn't see any when I visited, but from their website they make some pretty gorgeous, IG-worthy ones. So probably order in advance for those.

I don't know what I missed out on compared to other reviews here, but no way is this a 5 star…read morespecialty bakery. I thought I'd be satisfied based on the other reviews here, but buying a cake from this pseudo high end bakery was the biggest disappointment and biggest waste of $200.00 ever. After reading the rave reviews, I checked out their website and was indeed impressed with the multitude of product photos. One of them was so in line with what I was after, I called and placed an order for an exact replica of this previous creation, the only difference being the number (50 instead of 16). I requested red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. No new creative brainstorming required. They had a full week's notice for this one carbon copy cake so compared to the review that said they had no problem doing a full sweet table for a party on 3 days' notice, Idk what jacked up the price on this 6" cake to $200.00. I figured this is going to be one perfect cake. I called an hour before pickup to confirm for myself that it was ready and in I came to get it. It was waiting in the back so I waited on it to be brought out and when it did, it looked ok, if a little small. They brought it to the store front to take their stock photo and then had to figure out how to package it. I was pretty surprised when they brought out a regular little box to try to contain this cake for me to bring home, and watched in disbelief as they started figuring out how to finish the job with saran wrap and scotch tape. Yes, really, a tiny little regular cake box not even half the height of the cake, and the girl is pushing down the insert decorations all the way into the cake and applying saran wrap in pieces over it with scotch tape. I am very lucky I was a passenger with someone else driving, because I would have been terrified to have it sitting by itself in a moving car. When I did get it home, the packaging nightmare continued as I spent more than 5 minutes trying to remove the saran wrap taped all over the outside of the box while it stuck to the fondant decorations inside. When I finally got it out of the box, I could see the imperfections on the finish - finger smudge prints on the icing and loose ribbon on the bottom edge. And in the end, it didn't taste any better than a cake made from scratch by any other custom baker, or at home. It was competent, nothing more. Absolute waste of $200.00. Never again.
