    Famous Red Velvet Cupcake, Birthday Cake Cupcake, Cookies and Cream Cupcake, Wedding Cake Cupcake
    Nille P.

    This is a cute bakery with wonderful service. Nykia had a really great personality and she was very patient. The cupcakes are very pretty, but they weren't very good to me. I've had box cake taste exactly the same. My husband thought the cookies and cream one was ok. I thought it was ok as well. My daughter thought the birthday cake one was ok. My husband thought the wedding cake one was ok, but my daughter and I hated it. My daughter and husband thought the red velvet was just ok and I didn't like it at all. Overall, the cupcakes weren't good enough to return.

    The cupcakes are pretty good and when I took my family they were raving about the cupcakes as well and were fans of the items they purchased. Now that I'm older its a bit to sugary for me. I took two stars off because they are inconsistent when it comes to the hours and operation of the restaurant. When I looked on Google, it said that the store was opened. I drive up there today and see a store that looks empty on the inside with no cakes displayed and the lights off with a mop bucket in the center of the floor. Then I see a sign that they have closed this location and have moved. That's really unfortunate because the only other location I know of is in White Marsh MD and I'm not driving up that far.

    Bottom Line: Beautiful and delicious cupcakes perfect for a special occasion or special treat. Wow! This place is great. It had been on my list of places to try for a long time and I finally made it on a Sunday afternoon. The interior is bright and cute and the cupcakes are whimsical and pretty. When I was there they had about eight to ten meticulously decorated cupcake flavors. We chose a birthday cake cupcake and a peanut butter chocolate cupcake. Both were so yummy! The cake was light and airy and the frosting was dense and decadent. Smallcakes also has ice cream but for me I'm all about the baked goods! The employees were energetic and friendly.

    So appreciative that they were willing to bake me a pound cake birthday cake and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful. So hard to find a bakery that will bake a pound cake birthday so every year, it is a challenge as the ones from previous years did not turn out well. I have been everywhere including the Watergate Bakery with no luck. Smallcakes Annapolis did a wonderful job and their customer service is absolutely great. Highly recommended!

    I absolutely love this place, but I'm going to come right out and say it, why only have the strawberry shortcake cupcake on Wednesday only ‍ that's by far the best one. Please change that. But yes all the cupcakes here are really really good no matter what you get, they know what they are doing. Also try the cookies and cream one. Very good

    I'm always in search of a good cake or cupcake. I stopped here today right before closing time. I was greeted by a bubbly staff member. Options were limited due to the time. I opted for the red velvet cupcake and a lemon cupcake. Talk about moist! I was hesitant and expected a stale cupcake but the red velvet was fresh. They also have ice cream that I need to try. I'll be back in the future at a better time.

    I recently placed an order with Smallcakes for a custom birthday cake for my Dad who was turning 80 along with cupcakes. I was familiar with the business because I had purchased cupcakes before and they were delicious. I wasn't sure that would be the case with the cake, but I am happy to say that the cake was equally delicious. Not only was the product fresh and great tasting, the ordering process was easy and efficient. I requested that my order be delivered and they were on time and the cake looked fantastic. I would highly recommend them for your sweet needs.

    Another win for small cakes on Riva Rd. We got some Valentine cupcakes. Nothing to say but a big THANK YOU!

    Custom cake, carrot cake

    I must say this bakery went above & beyond my expectations. I've never had any of their pastries nor been to the bakery before . However, I took a leap of faith trusted them and I must say customer service was a phenomenal from time of inquiring to ordering & picking up. They helped me with customizing the cake and definitely went above & beyond. The carrot cake was delicious and moist, my husband was very pleased and happy. I could give this bakery 20 stars! Thank you.

    Okay cupcakes and ice cream here but the staff is really nice! The cupcakes are yummy but nothing to write home about. The ice cream could be creamier and more flavorful. The smash is like $8 (a cupcake with ice cream in between- see photo) and I thought it was good but I could go somewhere else for a better cupcake and ice cream. The staff was super nice and friendly. The only real complaint I have is one worker was handling the cash register and the ice cream. Even though she wasn't directly touching the ice cream, it's still pretty unsanitary. Given that the cupcakes and ice cream are pretty expensive ($3-4) and the taste was eh, I'm not sure I will be back.

    The cupcakes are good, it's moist and not too sweet. The frosting is VERY Decadent and sweet! The unfortunate part of the different flavors is that they use the same base cupcake(vanilla and chocolate) and change the frosting. I was hoping the lemon drop would be a lemon cake...nope just a normal vanilla...same for the salted caramel and wedding cake. The cookies and cream and peanut butter crunch..both just chocolate cake. The strawberry and relief were the only other "flavored" cake, which were good! The frosting is very rich that each bite had to have frosting in order to have a "flavorful" which was hard because the frosting is very sweet! Frosting should enhance the cupcake, not over power it. The decor of each cupcake is beautiful!

    Do they have vegan gluten free cakes there?

    Yes, but not daily. So, call to check the items for that day. They will make a requested item but give them 48 hours.

    I am not sure which is the best location of this local chain, but this one certainly had an ample…read moreline. Having said that, it was pretty well run and after waiting in line I found two registers waiting and was able to order a variety of baked goods and a fresh sandwich, which were prepared for me quite speedily. I wouldn't expect to be in and out immediately at peak times, but for me it was maybe forty-five minutes to wait in line, get food, and eat my sandwich. They offer good options for special dietary needs. The vegan sandwich is based on Old Bay marinated tofu, and they are not kidding about that. It is really, really Old Bay flavored. The tomato and avocado livens things up, but honestly the best part of the sandwich was still the sourdough bread, which is fair enough for a bakery. The spread of pastries I acquired was resplendent in quality and variety, and I will be happy to continue trying out all the Black Market locations to see which one is the most convenient.

We ordered the oatmeal pie, almond croissant, wildberry danish, Black Market bun, lemonade blueberry scone, and a caramel cappuccino. Ordering took maybe 4 minutes, and our food was already being bagged while we were ringing up. The drink took another 3 minutes, which was more than reasonable considering how busy they were. What really stood out was the customer service. The guy behind the counter found out it was our first time and immediately gave us a free scone, then took his time explaining how everything works. He walked us down the line, explained what each baked good was, pointed out the most popular items, and even shared his personal favorites. As busy as they were, they still made sure we felt taken care of. There was also a young lady bagging orders who jumped in and out of conversation while working--just as friendly and welcoming. Service like that is refreshing and definitely made an impression. He jokingly asked if he'd see us next weekend... and yeah, we'll definitely be back. The shop was clean, noise level was moderate, and there are a few tables if you get there early or get lucky, but most people seemed to be ordering to go. Lighting was good, and I didn't really notice any music. Price-wise, everything felt more than fair for the quality. They told us everything is cooked fresh daily and they basically go until they sell out--which makes sense given how much business they were doing. The food was excellent: fresh, flavorful, and a great mix of sweet and savory. Honestly, the only regret I had was not trying the breakfast sandwiches--we watched a few being made and they looked serious. Overall, this was an all-around great visit. The way they operate is unique, the food is top-tier, and I can absolutely see why people rush in to grab their favorites before things sell out. Without a doubt, we'll be back.

The pastries were fresh, soft and mouth watering. The mango iced matcha was a little disappointing due to the bitter after taste of the drink. Looking forward to trying other pastries and other drinks at the patisserie.

There is also the option to place orders for larger pastries, platters, cupcakes, and cakes. The staff working here was very kind and attentive. I opted for a small box that comes with two petite fours and three macarons. The macaron flavors that I tried were the salted caramel, milk chocolate amaretto, and dark chocolate. The petit four flavors that I tried were the red velvet and the triple chocolate. Everything I had here was so beautifully made and tasted fresh. I will definitely be back here again.
