After…read moretrying a variety of her baked goods, I can honestly say it will be worth the drive to try one of her cupcakes as they surpass any I have ever tried, locally or otherwise. And I have tried many a cupcake! She makes all the standard flavors that are to die for and also some newer hip flavors that I'm dying to try. Recently she made a cupcake with pancake batter and bacon pieces on top that sounds amazing from her husband's mouth watering review. Anyhow, she'll sell at her retail location and also be doing large quanities for events such as weddings, baby showers, etc. If you get out to try em... Enjoy!

Caffeine with a post office vibe…read more Having visited the Eli's in Metamora and Morton, it was a matter of time that I would drop in on the Tremont location. Emily and I dropped in around 10am to a pretty busy cafe. The baristas were super friendly and patient while we placed our orders. I got my usual americano with a monster cookie and Emily got their Campfire Cold Brew and lemon poppyseed jumbo muffin. We looked around for a place to sit and were lucky to get seats next to each other. This place isn't big so a few people can fill it up pretty quick. I think this used to be a post office and it definitely has the vibes of one, if it was. It took a bit longer, about 15 minutes, for our coffees to be ready. We were ready to sit and chill so the wait wasn't too bad but if you were in a rush, might be something to keep in mind. Any who, we had some delicious baked goods to keep us occupied until the drinks came out. I took a few sips of my americano and it unfortunately fell on the lighter side of how they can be made. While it was good, it was a bit light on the bitter that I like. Emily suggested I actually learn the style of americano I like and see if places can make it like that. But, Emily was also not the biggest fan of her drink, either. She wasn't a fan of the syrup they used in it and didn't like the aftertaste of it. We hung out until we were about halfway done with our drinks and long after our baked goods were devoured. I really liked the vibe of the place and got a really cool sticker of the store front but it looks like a stamp! One of the cooler stickers I've gotten out on my adventures. With there being three locations, I will no doubt drop in to another Eli's at some point. When I do, I will have to try out their other coffee offerings and maybe some of their delicious-looking food.

Service was great, and the guy at the counter was polite and very nice. The rating is low because…read morethe cupcakes just did not taste good. We ordered a red velvet and a vanilla cupcake. The vanilla cupcake had grainy frosting where the sugar had not been properly creamed into the butter or fat and it was too sweet. It actually made me cough from how the sugar hit the back of my throat. The cake was very light, but nothing tasted like vanilla. It tasted like sugar and air. There was also entirely too much frosting for the density and size of the cupcake, and I say that as a person who usually loves frosting. The vanilla cupcake was both soft /falling apart and slightly overcooked at the same time. The red velvet was more balanced in flavor. However, it had the same sugary buttercream as the vanilla instead of the traditional cream cheese that one would expect with a red velvet cake and that frosting made it just too sugary to eat. The texture of the red velvet cupcake was better than the vanilla, though a bit too dry. I'm not sure what the people who gave this high reviews eight or what their exposure to food is, but this definitely did not do it for us.

While she does have help, it does take a couple of tries to get in touch with her. However, she was true at keeping every one of her promises! Obviously, the business is a true passion of hers. She does cakes for ALL occasions. The cake looked beautiful! However, if you're looking for a very extravagant design with fondant and other special designs, then she might not be for you. Personally, the design of the cake was not as important for us as the deliciousness and price!

Miranda responded immediately and made the process SOOO easy. I could not have asked for more!

So many options - Miranda clearly is 100% customer-focused. I wish every business was this friendly, professional, efficient, and easy to deal with. Wouldn't the world be a better place if that were true? I am so thrilled and can't wait to give this to my Mom. She will be tickled pink. Truly the perfect gift.
