    Just picked up my second cake made by Sweet Temptations & couldn't be happier! They do such an amazing job & these cakes taste just as good as they look! I sent inspo pics both times & each cake looked identical to what I sent! Highly recommend!!!

    Here's the business info!  Place your order you will love the goodies.

    Delicious cookies!!! Today was my first time trying this wonderful bakery. Marlene the owner and Chef was sooo very pleasant and by the taste of her cookies definitely loves what she does. We ordered 12 in a variety of flavors given our first visit and hadn't yet known of a favorite (although chocolate chip is my usual 'go to'). You will see by the picture I snapped for this review we're down to 8 cookies since about 3 hours ago of our pick up! Ha! They are really that good. I will definitely return for more goodies. Delish!!!!

    Salted caramel cake with pastry cream filling
    Sarah D.

    Ive ordered two cakes from here. The first was amazing. It was red velvet with, I believe, a cream cheese filling. SO good. Dont have a photo of that one. It was expensive (served 10 but was about $75). I ordered the second one recently and that was to serve less but ended up being about the same size a d same price. It was salted caramel with pastry cream filling. Flavor wise I was a little disappointed. Only one person said they thought they might be able to taste that flavor in the cake and the pastry cream didnt have much flavor either. For both cakes they did an amazing job getting it close to my photo and customer service is fantastic. Now, Im keeping this a 5 star because of how awesome the first cake was. Not sure I'll order again however. Just too expensive for me personally and I make my own cakes that usually get great reviews. Sometimes I just dont have the time so I've ordered one here instead. With it now being 50/50 if I'll get a result I am in love with, not sure the price is worth it for me. $75 for a 10 person round cake may be standard price but I only have so much to budget towards something like that so may just go back to making my own. ‍

    Example cake of what I wanted, just bottom layer plain with drip no candies.

    I have seen amazing cakes posted by others and was really excited to surprise my exchange student with a fabulous cake for her 18th birthday. I ordered 3 weeks in advance and provided a picture and was told that they could absolutely make the cake I wanted. When I showed up to pick up the cake 2 hours before the party I was in shock at what I was looking at. I was told "we are all humans and make mistakes" and given a $15 discount on a $75 cake that looked like a bad episode of "Nailed It" Below is a picture of what I wanted(just the bottom cake only with name on board no topper no candy) and what I received.

    We're repeat customers! Most recently we ordered a cake for a bridal shower. Everyone raved about how delicious the cake was!

    "Twodles" 2 year old birthday cake!
    Maggie F.

    I ordered this cake on a Wednesday for the following Saturday for my daughter's 2 year old small birthday celebration. The communication with the staff was quick and clear, and they perfectly executed what we had envisioned. The cake was also SO good and so much better than anything store bought.

    So amazing!!! Such nice service and wonderful yummies! The gentleman helping me was so warm and wonderful and friendly

    My daughter's elegant yet rustic wedding cake with edible gold "painted" frosting
    Spring R.

    First I must mention how wonderful it was to work with Marlene. How professional yet warm and helpful. She advised and made suggestions until we were entirely satisfied and within our budget. Just Perfect!! At our tasting, the flavors and pairings Marlene chose were fabulous making it extremely difficult to make a decision!! My daughter wanted a flavor of cake that Marlene was not currently offering. She made it happen!! The sheet cakes, cookies and bars were mouth watering and got rave revues from our guests. Thank you Marlene, for being such a "sweet ingredient" in my daughter's wedding!

    Apple squares

    We go almost every week to buy from the bakery case and I have also ordered a few cakes from her for special occasions. As a baker, this is one of the only places I can purchase desserts from and not be disappointed. The cheesecake and apple squares are next level amazing! Get a variety out of the case and find your new favorite!

    Blaze the monster truck!!!
    Barb D.

    Perfect cookies of Blaze the Monster Truck!!! Just what I ordered!!! Sent them a picture and they came out perfect! You made my grandsons birthday party amazing! Thank you so much!!!' Will be using this bakery for a long time to come!!

    You're sure to be greeted warmly as you walk in and smiling when you walk out. Although custom cakes may be their specialty, they also have several take home treats to hold you over until your cake is ready for pickup. The cupcakes are particularly good and the home baked goodness flavors shine through. I hope Sweet Temptations sticks around for years to come!

    I've been a longtime fan of Area 51 Cupcakery, so naturally, I trusted them with one of the most…read moreimportant desserts I've ever ordered -- a custom cake for my brother's first-ever surprise 50th birthday party. Two weeks before the event, I came in person with a printed cake design, a clear color theme (green, cream, and white), and a macaron accent order to go with it. I was flexible on the design details, just committed to the vision. On the day of pickup, I arrived a little late -- my fault -- but there was no cake waiting, and my order couldn't be found. Hannah behind the counter did her best, and when owner Robert walked in, I calmly explained everything from the start. I won't lie -- I was heartbroken more than angry. This was a big night. What happened next is why I'm writing this review. Robert and his team didn't hesitate. They snapped a photo of the design from my phone, asked every detail, and promised to make it right -- with Robert personally delivering the cake to the venue (thankfully just 5 minutes away). And he did. He showed up with the cake designer in tow and delivered something truly stunning: a handsome, elegant cake that fit the theme perfectly and genuinely wowed my brother and guests. And the flavor? Their Atomic. Banana (pudding), strawberries (jam), and chocolate, vanilla & banana cake. YUM! It was incredibly moist and delicious. What could have been a devastating hiccup for such a milestone night became one of the most memorable parts of the celebration. That's a testament to Robert and his team's character, dedication, and craft. Thank you, Area 51 Cupcakery. We've loved your cupcakes from day one, and this experience only deepened our loyalty. We'll always come back.

Yuuuup, I'll be here on a monthly basis. They also have a punch card system. Every 12 cupcakes will get you 1 cupcake for free. The inside is super cool, there are numerous spots for photo ops and they even have a ring light and camera holder if interested in using it. My first time visiting I tried the following cupcakes: chai pumpkin latte (daily special and DANGGGG DELICIOUS), Almond wedding (my least favorite but still good, I think almond cupcakes just aren't for me), cookies and cream (divine, rich, 2nd favorite), and the Boston cream (also 2nd favorite lol). All of the cupcakes were moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. They are made daily and you can feel and taste the love. Area 51 is definitely my favorite cupcake spot of all time. I've gone to Area 51 probably every week since finding em and I can't get enough. They also made cupcakes for my baby's gender reveal. They were extremely accommodating and everything turned out perfect! I highly recommend them for custom cakes, cupcakes, or even just grabbing 1 of their daily made cupcakes. SOOO GOOD!

The food was incredible! I tried every single item on the buffet and loved all of it. And the staff... just wonderful.

We are so grateful for such a lovely experience and will absolutely be back. But next time we'll be back to enjoy a peaceful brunch without also hosting 25 people Highly, highly recommend!

I was back in town visiting for a wedding and my host recommended G&S for brunch. They are only open eight hours a week and the only time we could get one of their few tables was 9 am sharp. We arrived on time and were the second table seated in a dining room that only contained eight tables. Great music, with classic rock and country played at a moderate level. Servers were all super nice and engaging. I could tell this was a place where the regulars come often and the staff knows them well. I got my OJ and my friend got her coffee. Juice tasted pretty fresh, but I admit I wish it had a little pulp. Right away we headed up to the buffet line and it was so amazing. Herb and cheese frittata, thick cut bacon, thick sausage patties, cheesy hash browns, banana bread French toast, biscuits, sausage gravy, Caprese salad, cinnamon rolls, raspberry brownies, fruit salad, almond poppyseed scones, chocolate chip cookies... Everything I tried was excellent. The bacon and sausage were so full of flavor and as I mentioned they were thick, nothing wimpy about this breakfast meat. The French toast really had that nice banana and cinnamon flavor going. Cheeses added richness to the shredded hash brown potatoes. That cinnamon roll was so flaky. I even took some the buttercream frosting on top and spooned it on the French toast bake and that only made it even more amazing. I almost felt sorry for the fruit salad of blueberries, red grapes, and honeydew! 23 dollars was a pretty solid deal, especially since it was unlimited portions. I've had a few brunch buffets, but this absolutely ranks in the top 2 or 3 I have ever had.
