    What I got

    This is my sons first birthday smash cake. It was supposed to be a toasted marshmallow for a camping themed birthday. What I asked for vs what I got. This was over $45. It was a 5" cake.

    a variety of cupcakes

    That Takes the Cake is amazing. 9 years ago, I contacted them about making a wedding cake and they absolutely delivered! Recently, we took a little trip to the peninsula and HAD to stop for some cupcakes. I'm pretty sure we hadn't been by since we took a trip over for tasting 9 years ago. The cupcakes still taste just as amazing as they did back then! The champagne flavor is what we went with for our cake and is absolutely delicious. I was also blown away by the coconut cream flavor. My husband really liked the churro cupcake and I have to agree. There are 3 different sizes of cupcakes so you can get a bunch of different flavors to try. Definitely stop by if you're in town!

    Stopped in a little late in the day. Selection was still fairly good. Donuts were fresh and deff lish. Only bummer was gluten free had a additional charge and nothing showed this. Friendly staff.

    Not only do I get their cupcakes whenever I am in town, I also had them make my wedding cake which was amazing. I could list all my favorite cupcakes but they are all really good. Basically, the cupcake is light, fluffy and flavorful yet delicate (regardless of which flavor you choose) and the frosting is always super delicious. They have three sizes of cupcakes , huge, large and small. My parents and I will get several small cupcakes and share them so we can have a variety. Options change seasonally. The owners are super friendly and it's definitely a jem in Sequim :)

    We were delightfully surprised to find a cupcake store during our vacay in the Olympic Peninsula! Even better? THEY HAVE THREE DIFFERENT SIZES OF THEIR CUPCAKES!!! This is the most brilliant idea I have experienced because I love cupcakes and sometimes, I just want to try all the flavors and with this place, I can!! Another plus, even the minis have the fillings that the regular and jumbo sizes have. Plus, the minis only cost between $1-1.25!!!!! Their prices in general were very reasonable, since I have seen specialty cupcakes sell for $7-10 at some snooty places. We bought four dozen mini cupcakes and a giant one (as a sweet surprise for my honey back home in Florida). -The red velvet has a cream cheese filling and buttercream icing on top- it is a delightful bite of heaven. -The vanilla filled with lemon curd and topped with buttercream icing was also very yummy. -The chocolate peanut butter was not that great and it had a chocolate mousse filling. They also had two really cute flavors: a root beer float and a Jack n' Coke for all you "adults" out there. The root beer one was super cute with a little pirouette cookie stuck in the icing on top, and my youngest sister declared that it was "nom nom nom". I definitely liked getting a variety of flavors to try instead of having to commit to one large cupcake and potentially not being satisfied (and feeling a whole lot more guilty) with my selection. Two Pointers I have for the owners: 1. More merchandizing! The people you attract with this store tend to be of the female persuasion and that means that cute gifts and novelties will definitely sell. You should offer not just t-shirts (because they can be really unflattering), but also tank tops which are super popular. In addition, having cute little canvas bags with your logo would not only be a best seller, but would essentially be advertising that can be used again and again. 2. If you're going to offer "sprinkle shots", you definitely need to also offer icing shots so people can have little 75 cent samples of your yummy frosting! So if you are in the area, definitely indulge your sweet tooth at this cupcake heaven cause the desserts are just as sweet as the price!

I love the savory and the sweet and everything tastes fresh there compared to a store bought donut. My top favorites are the salted caramel croissant, Nutella topped Bavarian cream, or the cinnamon twist. Also the jalapeño cheese bread is incredible.

I thought the items we grabbed were excessively sweet. Keeping an open mind that they offer a larger variety of pastries and goods I didn't try but my visit felt just average. While not overly impressed, I can appreciate a solid spot with fresh donuts and pastries managing high traffic. Line tends to be long but moves at a moderate speed, as the employees are open to chatting. Large Butterhorn - excessively sweet to a point where I felt sick of sugar because it's also pretty big. I personally would rather eat a fluffy donut because this felt more like a condensed block of sugar, but seems to be a favorite for others. Might just not be for me. Swedish Almond Pastry - while this was also super sweet, the almond flavor was able to pop out at times. Sliced almonds on top helped sprinkle some extra flavor but were ultimately consumed by the sweetness. A little flakier in texture which helped dissociate with the dense sugar block.
