5.2.25 I ordered a six-pack of mini cupcakes which included: Carrot Cake, Lemon Drop, Salted Caramel, Red Velvet, Peanut Butter, and Almond Cake. My least favorite flavor was the lemon drop. Surprisingly because it is the number one most popular flavor. The cake was moist but the frosting is way too sweet even for me who has a sweet tooth. Of all the flavors I tried, my top three favorite were the carrot cake, almond cake, and the red velvet. I really love that they have mini cupcakes because I can try more flavors and not have to workout as long to burn off all the calories. I also purchased the peanut butter cookie which comes in a 3-pack for my hubby. He enjoyed them. I tried one and the flavor was good and it was partially soft and partially crunchy. The staff who assisted me with my cupcakes was super friendly and gave me her recommendations on which flavors she liked best and which were the most popular. I will return, hopefully this summer, to try their ice cream or one of their other cookies. read more

Smallcakes - Lemon Drop, Pretty in Pink Chocolate, Super Chocolate 5000, Cookies N Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

It was late many things already running out. But still we found nice things. We bought carrot cup cake and walnut . It was really tasty. İt goes very nice with tea and coffee. I don't prefer to eat the cream that normally put the top everywhere! But this one was tasty. I eat it. ( but still prefer not te eat it) I prefer to put something different like chocolate sauce or caramel sauce. Or real cherry, blueberry, lingonberry, cranberry, apricot, peach,... sauce instead of white cream! I also made a sweet at home and put that cranberry sauce on the top. It was really yummy! I can buy often from this shop to eat with coffee! read more

Decided to try the ice cream today. I know the cupcakes were good but the ice cream was amazing. It was just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. And this by far is the best looking 1 scoop I've ever gotten. The eyes definitely ate first. :) read more

The cupcakes are usually pretty good but sometimes it's hit or miss. Today I got a red velvet mini cupcake and it takes very weird. I usually get those so I know how it's supposed to taste and today it was not it. The service is always good and the ppl are always nice and friendly. The cookies are not very good but it's a cupcake place so ig it doesn't matter . It's a cute little place, I wish it had seating but all good read more

I went into small cakes, and the cupcake showcase was amazing There was so many cupcakes and so many varieties. I wanted to take one of each. The service was great very very helpful and the taste of the cakes was just yummy. Yummy yummy. read more

Stumbled on this place after leaving Pho La Cay. They sit in the same shopping plaza. Decided to go in and check them out. Pretty good! Cupcakes are huge! They make every flavor fresh each morning! The gentleman that assisted me was super friendly and the variety of flavor options was massive! Truly something for everyone! The cakes are a little denser, which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering the size! I ordered 6 for $24.99 I believe which is a pretty good deal. Cupcakes can't get pretty expensive! Yummy cupcakes, friendly service; what more can you ask for. read more

These cupcakes, are definitely smallcakes. They were delicious and big!!!. I will be returning to try more flavors.

Stopped in on an evening walk to satisfy my sweet tooth. I intended on just getting a cupcake but I saw the sign by the register with a cupcake smash. It basically a cupcake cut in half with ice cream sandwiched between the pieces. You can choose the type of cupcake and two scoops of the ice cream of your choosing. I have had their cupcakes before and they are sinfully delicious. I chose to get the chocolate 500 with two cups of vanilla. If you love chocolate you will enjoy it. It's dark chocolate with chocolate fudge inside the center. Definitely was enough to fill me up. The friendly employee behind the counter was very patient with me while I made up my mind on what I wanted. There was only one other person in there. It was later in the day during their last hour of being open. read more

This is such a cute place!! Super clean, decor is simple and smells delicious! The flavors I picked were delicious and the cake part was not dry at all (they are larger than regular cupcakes). A friend of mine got the smash cup (cupcake ice cream sandwich in a cup) and loved it! They also have pupcakes for your furry friends! I will be def going back! read more

I had the pleasure of stopping into this wonderful cupcake shop for an after lunch treat today. I was warmly greeted and immediately served by two friendly persons. The shop itself has a light hearted interior full of some delectable and satisfying cupcakes and a few non-cupcake choices. The cupcakes were rich and satisfying and they were given to me in a beautiful box. This definitely calls for a repeat trip. read more

So I love small cakes and frequent often to purchase treats for my doctor and his staff. I normally purchase 4-2 packs and 2-4 packs. This location is always fully stocked and allows me to customize each box to my liking. Other locations are extremely limited in variety unless I preorder 48 hours. Quality is spot on. The cupcake is worth every penny! read more

Cute little cupcakes shop, nicely decorated and the cakes looked cute. Service was good. It was our first time so purchase half dozen to give it a try. But, the taste was not impressed.

~ This was a cool spot! The cupcakes were definitely fresh, without a doubt. First time going, and I didn't know they baked 12 different flavors each day. So, make sure you call before you take that drive. I got the birthday cake, the wedding cake, the red velvet, the strawberry cheesecake, the salted caramel, & double chocolate fudge. None were my favorite, but that's just me. I won't come back, but it's a lovely spot. The staff was great. There's tons of parking. The prices were reasonable. Paid $24.99 for 6. I hope you enjoy it. ~ #TeamDiesel4Evaaaa read more

Cute little spot filled with sweets and other nicknacks. I came here on a Friday night about an hour before closing so I didn't get to see or try the cupcakes. I did get to try the ice cream limoncello and nutella. Both were good. The limoncello gave a burst of lemon and would be perfect on a warm summer day. The nutella was not too sweet and satisfying. The shop has a few candy bits along with mugs, reusable bags and a few stationary items. The customer service was good. I'm bummed I didn't get to try a cupcake however I'll go back to see what flavors are available to try read more

I stopped by on a whim since I just finished a grocery run at Wegmans. I've been passing by this place for a while whenever I run errands and kept putting off visiting until now. And now I am kicking myself for waiting so long. This place is pretty awesome. All the cupcakes looked amazing but I settled for 4. Double Chocolate German (special cupcake), strawberries and cream, Birthday Cake, and Cookies and Cream. Everything came out to about $18 and change - money well spent. The icing is not too sweet for my taste, the flavors for each matched what they are supposed to be, and the cake is about the right combination of moist and spongy - fluffy but not too fluffy. I am very happy I stopped by and will make sure to visit as much as my waistline will allow it. read more

I picked up a half dozen cupcakes for my birthday last week. I had never been here before so I wanted to try a few different things. I got two birthday cake cupcakes, which were my personal favorite. The red velvet is popular it seems, but I thought it was just ok - the cake was very light and the frosting was kind of cloyingly sweet. I enjoyed it, just not as much as the others! The salted caramel was tasty though the frosting was very thick/heavy, almost like a caramel. My husband ate both of the chocolate cupcakes with white frosting/pink sprinkles and really liked them, too. The website is a little off - the quoted price of $20 for 6 was not right, I paid about $24.99. Not a big deal but I may not have bought 6 had I known. They also didn't have as many flavors as indicated - I really would have liked the cookies and cream that is supposed to be a daily flavor but it wasn't. I also arrived about 15 minutes after they opened and got the last red velvet, so I am not sure what happens later in the day but I was surprised by the selection. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of cupcakes to choose from - just be aware of you don't order in advance that you may need to be flexible about your choices I am glad to have this place in town and will definitely be back - I love cake but in my 2 person household it never makes sense to get a whole cake. The option to buy a single cupcake is awesome! read more

I stumbled upon this location recently and I'm so glad I did! The cupcakes are very moist and flavorful, my favorites so far are the Cookies and Cream and Wedding Cake (vanilla/almond mix). The staff has very pleasant each time. I haven't tried the ice cream yet but will try soon. Only suggestion I have is adding some cards for Birthdays, Anniversaries etc. read more

Smallcakes - Top Row: Strawberry, Wedding Cake, Lemon 2nd Row: Red Velvet, Rainbow, Cookies and Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

First time trying Smallcakes and I was happy we did! We got cupcakes and ice cream and they were both good. - The cookies and cream ice cream was colored pink, but it was just cookies and cream. It was tasty, thick, and creamy. - Cupcakes: we got 4 and all of them were fluffy and moist! The amount and intensity of frosting varied between them. - My favorite was the salted caramel. It had kind of a wow factor on the flavor and it wasn't overpowering in the cake or frosting. It was just REALLY good. I would absolutely get this again. - Second favorite was the double chocolate 5000. Again, perfect ratio of flavors and cake to frosting, not overly sweet. Very very good. - Cookies and cream - I was excited to get this but felt the frosting was too sweet, too dense, and too much. I'd want like 1/3 of what was on top. - Red velvet - I guess this is an acquired taste. I thought it was ok but wasn't a huge fan. The cake itself was good and moist, but the cream cheese frosting had a weird aftertaste that I don't know how to describe. Like something off about the sugar or some extra flavor that I couldn't identify. One other family member felt the same way as me about this, and another one thought it tasted fine. ::shrug:: I'm glad this place finally opened! It's a little pricey but I'd 100% come back to get another salted caramel cupcake sometime. read more

New cupcake shop. Their cupcakes are super moist! The frosting is a little bit sweet for my taste but it has good flavor. The salted caramel was more of a butter scotch taste to me.

The cupcakes look pretty but providing good customer service should be more important! I was really looking forward to trying this new cupcake bakery however the poor customer service was very disappointing. The clerk was a middle age man who was old enough to should know how to speak to customers in a professional manner. His tone and attitude were rude. I started to cancel the purchase and just leave. Small cakes will not be around for long if they don't improve their customer service and change the personnel they hire to interact with customers. read more

Was in the area getting pho and decided to come here for dessert. Limited number of cakes by the time we went, but they bake them fresh every morning so I'm not bothered. I'm usually a little leery of these pop up cake places. I've been hit with colorful but dry, tasteless cakes. Not these! The cakes were super moist and flavorful. The icing was not too sweet. I enjoyed the variety of topping and presentation. Would recommend and will be back. read more

Smallcakes - Key lime, salted caramel, choc peanut butter - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I saw a sign to checkout Smallcakes in Columbia and didn't realize they were on Cupcake Wars! That was pretty cool, and plus I love supporting businesses in the area, so I decided to give them a try I came on a weekday evening about an hour before closing, so some flavors like their Key Lime and Black Velvet were out. The couple that came in before me really wanted the Key Lime flavor, so I suggest coming early if you want to be sure the flavors you want are there. I got the Wedding cake cupcake (almond) and a small Oreo cupcake. I LOVE that the Oreo cupcake was a small and bite-sized. It satisfied my sweet tooth the next day :) The wedding cake was delicious too!!! Very moist and not too sweet. I also LOVED the buttercream icing! It was perfect, moist, soft, and not overly sweet too. Overall if you like cupcakes, go and checkout Smallcakes :) they also have ice cream and some small cute gifts as well. I'll be coming back!! read more

I love a cute cupcake and ice cream shop. But when they have the goods to back up, the cuteness... I say GO!

Amazing! There are so many cupcake flavors to choose from and the service was fantastic.

I bought a Cupcake of the Day (Chocolate Fudge with Caramel) and a small 6-pack of mini-cupcakes. I thoroughly enjoyed every different mini, and my wife raved about the full-size. A little on the pricey side, but they taste SO fresh and delicious! Yeah, we'll be back!!! read more

The cupcakes are always fresh and taste the exact same each time I've visited. This shop also sells ice cream, novelty gifts and beverages but I've never purchased any of those items. Someday I will purchasing something besides cupcakes and write/revised my reviews. I would also like to add I've received good customer service each time. read more

Love the cupcakes here! (And so does my 2yo daughter). I don't think we've had a flavor we haven't liked.

We've seen small signs around Columbia advertising for Smallcakes. When we figured out they were on Stanford Blvd, we had to pop in. The store is small and quaint but fun. They also have gelato and ice cream, but we were all about the cupcakes. Smallcakes has the cupcakes displayed nicely so you can see them in detail. The employee helping us was polite and had a personable attitude. When we told him it was our first time in, he explained that the cupcakes were made daily and they have a Special of the Day cupcake. We love a great cupcake. But we're picky about what we'd consider a great cupcake. The frosting/icing to cupcake ratio has to be just right. The cake has to be deliciously moist. No dry and crumbly cakes allowed. Smallcakes has GREAT cupcakes. We tried the chocolate decadence, which was a white cupcake with a dollop of chocolate ganache, and the peanut butter cupcake, which was a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing and a few pieces of peanut butter cup. The icing ratio was perfect. The pb icing could've had a slightly bit more pb flavoring in our opinion, but it was still delicious. The cakes were big too. Not like the traditional size cupcakes found in other bakeries. The cupcakes are a bit pricey. Our two cost $10. But we didn't care. The cupcakes were packed in a cute box so they wouldn't smash. It was a nice treat to enjoy after a hard week. We've decided that Smallcakes will be our treat when we're running errands in the neighborhood or our dessert when we eat at the neighboring restaurants. We can't wait to try some of the other flavors. read more

Upon walking in I was greeted promptly. Esthetically it's pleasing. Small, clean, store front. There's not a huge selection BUT I could tell they were quality cupcakes. I purchased a Strawberry and Red Velvet. Not going to lie: 2 cupcakes for $10, initially I was like... Woah! But these were so worth it! I tried the Strawberry first and the cake was super moist. The cake even had nice bits of strawberries in it. The icing was plentiful, although I usually wipe most of it off. Lol There was even a bit of strawberry jam/preserves on top. I haven't tried the Red Velvet yet but, I'd definitely recommend this business off the strawberry cupcakes alone. 10/10 read more
