I was looking for a specific and special cake for my twin sisters bridal shower. I searched the…read moreinternet for New York City bakeries and compared reviews to the photos on Instagram and Facebook. I wanted the cake to be perfect for my sister. I spoke directly to Mona multiple times to assure that the Leopard cake was exactly what I wanted. She was so patient and so nice to speak with. The cake was not only what I had envisioned and asked for but SO MUCH MORE! Everyone loved the cake and it really made my sisters day even more special. All the guests asked me where I got the cake, not only because of the design but because of how delicious it was! I will definitely return to Mona and highly recommend.

Unfortunately I wish I had better news! But we are very unhappy with the end result of the cake…read more I've attached pictures for you to see what I'm talking about. We had several of our guests point out and comment on the presentation of the cake, which was embarrassing for us. I've attached a side by side comparison of the photo we provided as our inspiration, and the end result. The colors weren't the same colors in the pallet that we described to you. The flowers were lavender and baby blue. our color pallet was deep peacock: navy blue, dark plum and olive green. In our tasting session, I said I didn't want any light blue colors, no turquoise, no pink or bright purple. The fondant was more of a royal blue than navy blue. There was only a slight touch of green on the leaves and it wasn't olive green. The fondant was bumpy and uneven and there was a crease on the side. The gold ribbon was also bumpy and uneven and looked sloppily put together. The foundation that the cake was sitting on was messily put together as you can see in the photos. We had to fix it ourselves to make it presentable for pictures. The foundation was also white, instead of navy blue. We can't use any of the cake pictures taken by our photographer for display or printing, the cake is nowhere near the beauty and molded precision that we expected to get for $750. Several of our guest commented on how horrible the cake looked which was very embarrassing.

Superior Customer Service, Incredible Attention to Detail!…read more Deborah, the owner of City Sweets by far understands customer service.

It was delivered to me in midtown exactly as instructed but I then had to carry it to Westchester by train. I was very nervous but got it there still looking beautiful. It was a big hit and a central point in photos we took to send to other friends and family. Once we cut into it, it tasted just as good as it looked! Mom loved it, which was most important. I had a picture in my head of how I wanted the day to go and this cake absolutely helped fulfill it!

I feel bad to write this review because I want to support a woman owned small business but...I wish…read moreI had not ordered my birthday cake from here. I was initially lured in by the good Yelp reviews. I liked that I could do everything online, I had a particular vision for what I wanted my birthday cake to look like and they communicated with me via email that could make my vision come true. I had a birthday celebration at a restaurant, which I asked The Evercake to have delivered directly to the restaurant. The delivery was smooth and the restaurant had the cake before I even got there. The cake was very cute and did look like what I had pictured. But...what I majorly disliked was the actual taste of the cake and being misled about what the contents of the cake would be. I selected the strawberry shortcake option for my cake and what I got was not what I thought it would be. I think it's quite normal for a strawberry shortcake to have like...real strawberries in between the layers. My cake didn't really have that, and if it did it was hidden in all the strawberry jam that there instead. I was not a fan of the cake texture too and the cream outside of the cake. Overall I felt so sad that I was feeding this to my friends and I told them that they didn't have to finish it because I wasn't going to either. So embarrassing :( Would you believe that this flop of a cake was nearly $200? And that's after the 10% coupon. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it wasn't completely bad, but the cake not tasting good was the biggest thing for me. I would have preferred it the other way around at least, like if the service was so bad but the cake tasted amazing, but unfortunately that was not the case for me. After digging through the reviews some more, I found that this happened to another customer as well. I wish I had seen their review before ordering a "strawberry" shortcake from here lol dang

Definitely would stop there for future cupcake needs in the area.

Pour some sugar sweet sunshine on me!…read more Rain or shine they've got a sweet treat ready to satisfy your sweet tooth, and their banana puddings, (and really all their puddings) are a delight. They give you a full cup of any pudding option for $7.50 size small ($9.75 for large and $45 for a party size). I tried the vegan banana pudding and it was very good! Tasted on the sweet side which I expected, since to begin this dessert combines three sweet elements (ripe bananas, vanilla wafers and custard). You have to be in a pudding mood and when you are, theirs hits the spot every time! I ate half the same night and saved the other half in the fridge for breakfast the next morning*, it doesn't keep long so I wouldn't recommend consuming later than that if kept consistently chilled in the fridge. Aside from puddings and cupcakes, they have a selection of coffee and tea drinks, pies and cookies. They carry seasonal cupcake flavors too. Having frequented SSS often in their original location a couple blocks away, I kinda miss the coziness of that space though just glad they're around to provide that yummy, unpretentious and nostalgic dose of baked goodness the local community loves. On my recent visit the staff member on a weekend evening was friendly, served their treats with a smile, and a PSA that they were closing in 15 minutes, I appreciated the heads up! Side note: while I was there, a pistachio cupcake gazed very longingly at me, one of my favorites and I admit I gazed back, though for the sake of my waistline I had to cut off eye contact and tell myself I'd come back another time. Already thinking about when....lol. Go check them out and see which cupcake flavors speak to you! *making my own breakfast rules as an adult is the best =P

I opted for a cupcake and coffee. The smell was too good. I ordered an iced oat milk latte as well. I'm not a vegan but prefer nondairy milk in coffee. I didn't see many vegan options in the shop. However, chocolate buttercream and yellow cupcake is my go to and typically my favorite. It's a classic. I ordered and sat down to rest a minute and enjoy my upcoming treat. What I liked: 1. The cake to icing ratio was just the right amount. 2. The yellow cake was delicious and moist. What needed improvement: 1. The chocolate buttercream didn't have enough chocolate flavor. It was too much cream and not enough chocolate flavor. Would I go back? Sure, I'd go back to try other flavors. This may have been a batch that didn't get the right amount of chocolate.
