My family and I stopped in looking to get our dessert fix. We have visited two other SmallCakes locations in Orlando and were excited to see a location here in NC. The selection varied from what we were used to and the woman explained that they are franchised, so each location can vary in what items they have. The frosting tasted the same as in the other locations and the cupcakes still seemed standard. We like to get cookie sandwiches and brownies, though. They did have a brownie, but it was just ok. The woman behind the counter was very sweet and offered to make us the cookie sandwich, as she only had one left. Very nice service! If you are a cupcake fan, then you will def need to give this place a try! :) read more

I ordered through door dash out of curiosity. Two cakes in a jar were of interest to me and one I planned to bring as a little gift for my spouse when I fly home tomorrow. I taste tested the two I thought looked good. I really love German chocolate cake on a good day. It did not disappoint. The second, wedding cake, tasted phenomenal on the very first bite. The frosting reminded me of marzipan. The problem is that I'm a super taster. There was a bitter aftertaste after a couple of bites. The whole bitter almonds thing. I know my spouse will eat it as they are not as sensitive, and almond is the flavor of their people. As my cousin is in town, I'm going to order a couple more to take home to California and we can jar cake taste test to taste the variety. This was really fun and the cakes made a great gift to take home. P.S. The carrot cake has the perfect cream cheese frosting to cake ratio. I'm taking two chocolate jars and will report back. Tasting these has been the most fun! read more

I stumbled by this spot while I was running errands. Was perfect for a Saturday splurge. I'm a fan of icing & they didn't disappoint. However, the cake was moist too. Was very clean inside. Though there were other customers, I was greeted right away. Trying to lose weight is my only reason I haven't returned. read more

Smallcakes Utopia - The red-velvet, Wedding Cake and Birthday Cake - Cupcakes Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is addictive! First of all, Customer Service is unmatched. I asked a LOT of questions & the server was so polite, and KNOWS the product. (which was very refreshing) I went in a Monday and got the Fudge Sunday flavor of the day and it tasted just like a fudge sundae and even had me wondering if there was a way to freeze it and indulge! The baker that ran the register was really sweet and got me signed up with rewards for this location. Being new to the area, and never trying small cakes, I picked a few options and raved about this place to others. This is really going to be one of those places where I will have to pace myself because honestly I want to try ALL the small cakes! The flavors are great and the cupcakes are soft and store well overnight and for a few days. Be on the lookout for more pics of me trying the small cakes but they exceeded my expectations on this classic dessert l! 5 stars is NOT enough!!!! *** JOB. WELL. DONE.!! Thank you guys! read more

When walking into this cupcake shoppe you must remind yourself that every baker starts with basically the same ingredients for cake, but some go the extra mile. This place does that! Therein lies the difference between gourmet cupcakes and ordinary ones. All cakes are sweet and to some degree, tasty, but from the brightly colored boutique boxes to the cupcake decorations.... the attention to lovely details is what makes these special. They have homemade ice cream and cakes in mason jars. You will have to decide for yourself if their treats are worth the premium price, but having visited Smallcakes, I can tell you that these three things are true: First, they had quite a reasonable amount of folks in and out on this Tuesday, on the second day of spring. Additionally, people were willing to part with four dollars per cupcake and nearly $15.50 for four. That's not cheap, so they must be doing something right. Finally, the vast array of choices means that everyone can get exactly what they like. They had wedding cakes, sundae cupcakes, brownies and even cannolis. Happily situated near a Starbucks, IKEA and Culver's.... There is a shared parking lot and they have a rewards program that is both painless and card-less to join. read more

It was ok, I've tried them out 3x. My favorite would be the red velvet cupcake. A little pricey for a single cupcake in my opinion however, service was good. read more

Ok my! The cupcakes are soooo good. I had the carrot cake and it taste like a mini cake. Not like the dry boring cupcakes but like a real moist cake. The price was good also and they had a very good variety. Also they sell ice cream too. The prices are nice. The cupcakes are around $4 or $5 but I have paid more for regular cupcakes. This will be a stop on every trip I take to Charlotte. They are nice and they have a rewards system. read more

Very cute and quaint bakery offering a variety of cupcakes and ice cream. I opted to get the Boston creme pie cupcake and it good, not as moist as I was expecting or wanting it to be, but still had good flavor nonetheless. I would go back and try other flavors. They have some permanent flavors and they rotate other flavors, so something for every tastebud. read more

These are hands down the best cupcakes in Charlotte!!!!! It's the perfect ratio of cupcake to frosting and the frosting is not overly too sweet. I have already visited the Huntersville location, but this was my first time at the University location. They had a wide variety of cupcakes, some cake pops, cupcakes in a jar, and even ice cream. The cupcakes were fresh and totally delicious that I ordered- vanilla strawberry and wedding which is an almond flavored cupcake. I had my eye on the lemon drop cupcake, so I will get that one next time. Note: if you buy a gift card, it has to be used at this location and not any of the other Smallcakes in town. read more

Nice cupcake spot. It's clean, well lit, the cupcakes taste great, and the owner is friendly and welcoming. Overall great experience. The presentation and explanation of flavors and history was on point. They have a variety of sweet treats cupcakes cookies and ice cream. They even do speciality cakes.

Happiest of Anniversary to my favorite sweets shop. I love this place as I have been coming to see them since they opened. Whenever my work family has a birthday...they get an awesome cupcake from Smallcakes Utopia. Everytime I come they are loaded with smiles and suggestions on things to try. They even asked me if I wanted my usual Today I walked in, there was a little girl and her little girl and thr mother was asking tons of questions like are the cupcakes baked daily, how long are they out before you refresh them and what do you do with the ones that you don't sell. And in true Smallcakes fashion the lady behind the counter answered every question joyfully. When she told the lady that they donate the leftovers, the lady with the little girl in the cute unicorn headband smiled and said oh you donate them just like Paneras does. She was satisfied and her and her little girl started ordering. In a time where businesses close in the 1st year, I am glad this one is still here and I am so happy to celebrate them. read more

Smallcakes Utopia - HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY - Cupcakes Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Walking in, Smallcakes is a very cute and clean place where you can tell the items are fresh. They've got a nice array of desserts from cupcakes in jars to cupcakes to homemade ice cream to cake pops to cookies to Rice Krispie treats (not just original), they really do have something for every craving. The staff is pretty patient as you decide on your preference. There are various flavors of each item. I'm not a big cupcake person but I really enjoyed the red velvet cupcake in a jar and birthday cake cupcake. But the real steal of the show for me has been the original Rice Krispie treat - gooey and delicious. Also liked their red velvet cookie. I haven't tried their ice cream but it's next on the list. And nothing I've tried has been overly sweet, which is much appreciated. Their products are pricey at around $4 a cupcake and $6.50 for a cupcake in a jar so it depends on what you want to splurge on. Still, a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

What a great addition to the University Area. I've been a fan of Smallcakes since I tried the Huntersville location. Who wants to deal with 77N gridlock unless absolutely necessary? Not me. At this bakery there is lots of seating, bright lights, pink all around. Kids and adults will love it. The ice cream was delicious, we tried the wedding cake flavor. The cupcakes are slightly larger than most cupcakes around town (trust me, I've done my research), and I'm not complaining. The cake is moist and the frosting is a generous amount. If you haven't gone, go now! read more

Smallcakes Utopia - White Chocolate Peanut Butter - Monday Special - Cupcakes Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

So I had these small cakes today at an event. So my review is strictly about the cake and not the experience I had at the store. So when I returned to the event space, the table was wonderfully decorated with these lovely cakes. There were ones with cherries on top, cookies, and other appealing treats. Since I am a Plain Jane, I opted for the vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream icing. Ok, when I bit into this cake, my eyes rolled in the back on head. I have NEVER had a cake so moist...it just melted in my mouth. I had to pull out the fork because I knew it would fall all over me as it was so pillowy soft. And then the icing...it was decorated in a nice pink color, there wasn't a huge mound of it, and it was not overly sweet. Most times when I have a cupcake, I end up not eating all of the icing because its so sweet and there is so much. I ate this entire cake including all of the icing. I am a teacher and I give them an A+. read more

We were in the area with the kids and decided this would be a nice little treat for them. I did a quick yelp check - as I do - and saw pretty decent reviews. When I walked in I was surprised by the size of the cupcakes. They're pretty big and the flavors looked so fun! I ordered birthday cake, holy cannoli, and eggnog cheesecake. The kids had the birthday cake and loved it. My husband and I split the other 2. Eggnog cheesecake was definitely my favorite. Cannoli was pretty good too, but I could only handle but so much. While I have a huge sweet tooth, I also dont like things too sweet. The buttercream was very sweet and I think with the cannoli cream was a bit much (for me) and clashed a tiny bit. But I'm not a big fan of frosting and that has little to do with the quality of these cupcakes. I was impressed when I cut the cupcake and found it to be super moist. That's a must for me. All in all this was great. I have to check if they have chocolate next time as I'm certainly a chocolate on chocolate kinda cake gal! read more

WOW WOW WOW!! They can take all my money! Hands down one of the best cupcakes i've ever had. Whenever we find ourselves near their store or if we see them listed as a vendor at an event we are for sure buying some. I don't know what the secret is but their cupcakes are pretty darn good. read more

I chose to stop here on a random Wednesday afternoon to see what the fuss was about with Smallcakes. I was greeted as soon as I walked in by the employee. I quickly scanned the cupcake selection and decided on the cookies and cream and red velvet cupcakes. The cookies and cream cupcake was great. Perfect icing to cake ratio and it was not too sweet. The red velvet on the other hand was just not it. Very commercial and not your grandmothers red velvet cake. I didn't care for the cream cheese icing either. I will go back in the future but definitely avoided the red velvet! read more
