Decorated beautifully and taste that was scrumptious! So soft and moist and the different flavors just rolled around in your mouth and lasted forever. Many people asked me where we got the cupcakes from because it was the best cupcakes they had ever tasted also. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Minis by Maria for any and ALL occasions. A job VERY WELL DONE!

"Well, that's real swell, but it still doesn't get the cream in the cupcake."…read more~ Samantha from Sex and the City Minis by Maria, Meh. Me and my youngest Yelper approached the counter with some excitement to try these mini cupcakes. They are definitely presented well and the associates did a good job of greeting and taking our order. We had the salted caramel, birthday cake, red velvet, chocolate (best of the bunch), and coconut. The cupcakes were dry and just okay, the frosting on these cupcakes was equally dry and lacking in flavor. These cupcakes just were not that good, and for the price i paid, really bad. Had they not been minis, I would even say we may not have finished them, which is saying a lot if you know my fondness for sweets. I can honestly say I have had better supermarket cupcakes. I know a lot of businesses don't like negative reviews, but the truth is I don't really like leaving bad reviews (okay, maybe i do sometimes) but in this case, we were really hoping to get great cupcakes, and these fell way short. Maybe it was the fact we came on a Saturday evening and they were not fresh, but even so, an excuse is not a reason for an extra star, and "it still doesn't get the cream in the cupcake".

We had a great time tasting cakes with our wedding planner, Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles, and…read moreKathryn ("Kat") Steed, sole owner and cake maker at Lush Cakery in Marietta. Jordan recommended Lush Cakery to my fiancee and me (our planner does not accept kickbacks, but instead passes on any discounts she may get on to us) and that is enough praise for me. My fiancee, through her own research, noticed that Lush Cakery has had a hand in a lot of nice weddings in Atlanta. She absolutely loves the look of Lush's cakes (she describes them as beautiful, fun, and creative). I asked Kat how many weddings she did last year and she told me, if I recall correctly, 185 (all by herself!). She doesn't plan on doing that many per year going forward, but she definitely has the experience and is well known in the Atlanta wedding community. Kat moved into a cute space just off Marietta Square a couple years ago. There's a retail space, open four days a week, and a tasting room, available by appointment only. The shop can also be booked for small events like bridal and baby showers. Kat was waiting for us promptly at our appointment time. My fiancee and I were accompanied by our planner for the tasting. The tasting room was quaint and charming. It reminded my fiancee of an attractive sitting room, like something you would see on HGTV. We got to know Kat and she got to know us. She let us swipe through cake designs on her iPad while talking to us about our wedding, our tastes/visions for our cake, and how our cake would align with our wedding overall. For example, we talked about the season of our wedding, whether it's going to be indoor or outdoor, etc. These kinds of things can affect the ingredients and flavors of our wedding cake. There was a menu at the table with Lush's most popular wedding cake flavors. We tasted the following six flavors: * Salted caramel * Amaretto white chocolate red raspberry * Triple chocolate hazelnut * Grand Marnier strawberries and cream * Cinnamon * Cream cheese pound with lemon curd Kat had the first five flavors in the list above ready to go on a plate for each of us. The last one was requested by my fiancee who was interested in trying the lemon curd after seeing it on the menu. My eyes lit up as I bit into these cakes. What impressed me most about them was actually not their flavor, but their consistency. Every single slice was perfectly fluffy and moist. They were tender and delicate with good crumb. Flavor-wise, they were sweet, but not too sweet. My favorite flavors were the salted caramel and the strawberries and cream. My fiancee's favorite flavors were the amaretto white chocolate red raspberry and the triple chocolate hazelnut. My fiancee thought both the strawberry and cinnamon tasted delicious, but were a little too simple for her tastes. The cream cheese pound cake with lemon curd was outstanding, but we agreed that we liked the lighter, less dense textures of the other cakes for our wedding cake. Everything we tried tasted great, so what it really came down to here was personal preference. We want a classic, elegant looking cake so Kat suggested a traditional three-tier round cake. We'll have it decorated with flowers from our florist, Julie Coffin of Unique Floral Expressions, who is one of the rock stars of the Atlanta wedding industry and whom Kat has worked many weddings with. We chose our cake and icing flavors, along with a fun design extra, and were quoted under $700 for our cake (tax and delivery included). The cake will serve 100. We'll have more than 100 guests, but there will be other dessert options too. Kat's quote is about $200 higher than another quote we recently received, so Lush is on the higher side. However, the other quote did not include an extra design element and the Lush quote also includes a "complimentary" anniversary tier a year after our wedding. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a date. We received Kat's proposal via email quickly after our meeting. My fiancee had a question and it didn't take long for Kat to respond. All in all, this was a wonderful experience. Now we just have to make a decision! Throughout our wedding planning process so far, this has turned out to be the most difficult decision yet.

Not soft/fluffy like fresh whipped cream even though she just put them out so maybe made earlier in the day in the back or something But the cakes themselves were moist They sell knick knacks in the store and Mayfield as well There's plenty of parking in the shared lot and nobody else was there when we went.

I have recently returned from a trip to Japan and they're all the rage there. The soufflé pancake is a really light and airy "pancake". Each pancake is made to order and they have a wide variety of flavors. I've had the crème brûlée, blueberry cheese and their original with a selection of fruit. They were all delicious! Their eggs Benedict served on a croffle (waffle + croissant) is amazing! I do want to give a shout out to the owner/manager who is so kind and generous. He makes a point of checking on the customers to hear how their experience was. Today, my friend and I told him how much we enjoyed our Egg Benedicts, but we were a little sad because we didn't get a chance to order the soufflé pancakes. He replied very nicely, " Next time". A little while later our server brought us their House Specialty pancake, from the owner. So unexpected and very kind of him. I will definitely be going back. If you're in East Cobb, you should definitely treat yourself and go check out this little dining gem!

During our short weekend trip to Atlanta, we decided to explore some new places instead of sticking…read moreto our usual spots. We started the day a little late so we were looking for a brunch place. I came across Fluffy Fluffy on Yelp and since they serve Japanese-inspired pancakes, we decided to give it a try. It was Mother's Day so the restaurant was completely full when we arrived. We took a while deciding what to order and luckily a table opened up at just the right time. We ordered both a savory and a sweet dish, the Eggs Benedict with Salmon and the Mini Soufflé Pancakes. One thing to note. Their website mentions that the combo set is available all day but this particular location doesn't offer it. We really enjoyed the Eggs Benedict. You can choose either a croffle or sweet toast and we went with the sweet toast which was delicious. I also loved the dressing they used on the salad. (I was disappointed to later find out that they actually sell the dressing!) The soufflé pancakes, however, were a bit of a mixed experience for us. We chose the mini version so we could try four different flavors: blueberry cheese, tiramisu, matcha tiramisu, and strawberry cream. In the end, we were actually glad we ordered the minis instead of a full-size pancake with just one flavor. Out of the four, the blueberry cheese was our favorite. The tiramisu flavors didn't really taste much like tiramisu to us and the strawberry cream topping was fairly simple as well. The pancakes themselves were also a little drier than we expected. I also ordered a matcha latte but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It tasted a bit watery and didn't have a good matcha flavor. Overall, it ended up being a hit-or-miss experience for us but we still thought it was a fun and unique concept to try.
