During a recent visit to Freehold Mall, I had the intention of going to Ulta for some items I…read moreneeded for a makeup class, so I parked by Macy's and entered the mall through that store's entrance to get to Ulta. As I made my journey to Ulta, I saw this intriguing bakery with bright lights and bright pink colors. I made a mental note to stop by on my way out, which I did. Cee Cee's Cupcake Palace is a black and family owned business in the mall. They seem to specialize in these massive cupcakes with some flavors being named after some of our favorite soul food desserts, such as sweet potato pie and banana pudding. Those are the two flavors I decided to buy. Service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. The cupcakes themselves were just okay to me. I like moist cupcakes and these were a little dry. The toppings and fillings helped add a little moisture to the cake. Nevertheless and overall, it's a pretty solid spot. It's not something I'm in a rush to return to, but would be willing to try again at another time.

Wow, we were leaving the mall and I looked over and saw this beautiful shop. Cupcakes? Let's take a…read morelook. The artistry is obvious as soon as you see them and I hoped that they tasted as good as they looked. We had the loveliest chat with CeeCee's Mom and she is amazing. Took the cupcakes home and tried them out. OMG, they were delicious!! I was hoping that they weren't too sweet and they were just perfect. You could tell that it's made with quality ingredients. Do not pass this up! Grab a few cupcakes and take them home. You will love them.

The first time I let…read moreit slide and didn't order again until 2 yrs later and this last order was 2yrs from my second order. Thought I'd give them a try again but I know better now. I contacted the store to order 1.5 dozen cupcakes for my 6yr old birthday party which the order was very simple. Plain vanilla cupcakes with less vanilla buttercream (cause it's for small kids) piped with a round tip and topped with sprinkles. I thought choosing to opt for a bakery over going to shoprite I would've gotten freshly baked cupcakes but these cupcakes were horribly done with both taste and appearance. Firstly by just looking at the cupcakes the piping were all flattened and didn't even look like it was piped, when I got home, I decided to repackage them into individual cupcakes holders for each kid and when I picked them up they were all cold and hard and they were burnt and dark on the edges and bottom. I didn't think anything of it at that point cause the bakery had it stored in the fridge before I picked it up and I had no order choice but on the day of the party which was next day, I took them out the fridge which I had it for a few hrs and people still said that the cupcakes were cold and hard. For Valentines as well I stopped by the shop and bought cookies and they tasted horrible and stale. My 4 & 5 yr old threw them out. The quality and appearance is a no from me and I know now that I will never be ordering from her again.

This review is for a very specific situation - delivery to hot climates. At this point, the…read morecompany shouldn't be selling to shipped locations that are hot, as they are unable to deliver a quality product (and this also is specific to petit fours - it could be other baked goods that can tolerate higher heat would be fine). I ordered petit fours in 2021 (same time of year, same hot climate) and they came in perfect. I had several communications with Barbara to best position how we should ship (she was concerned about reliable delivery time). She had said shipping had become unreliable and way too expensive but she took the path that she thought would work. It just didn't. The petit fours arrived in a melted state, and some had actually separated. The flavor was good though :) It's just at $3 a bite, they needed to look good too. It was a special event. There really isn't anything Barbara could've done differently (and not lose money). Just think she should not sell them at all to hot climates with the shipping constraints.

I ordered a 3 lb. cookie platter for Christmas, and paid $80 before shipping. The quality of their cookie pies led me to expect something special. What I received was a very average plate of cookies nicely wrapped, although not any more nicely wrapped than the cookie platter I could've gotten from my local bakery.The quality of the cookies was also no more special than I could have gotten from my local bakery, at less than half the price.
