    Strawberry cupcake
    Lenisha L.

    Was in the mood for macaroons and my best fiend wanted a cupcake...she actually wanted both lol but we stopped here first. I'd never been in before but always pass it and I'm not too big on sweets like that. It's a very cute rustic girly shop with a display of fresh cupcakes. I absolutely LOVED the names. They had a "Pretty in Pink" one and I am a die hard Molly Ringwald fan =). I ordered the strawberry cupcake and my best friend ordered two different ones. This was by far the best cupcake I'd ever had! I will be back and the cashier was nice and friendly.

    The ambiance and location is beautiful. I ordered off an app called "Too good to go" so they pick random things to put in box and you pay a discounted price. I love this because it is a way to support other local business and find new places to go to. The presentation of the 4pk cupcakes was amazing and thy looked yummy. My daughter started one first and loved it u til she found an edible ball of some sort lol said it tasted like coffee, I'm not sure. I tried the white iced one and the icing and cupcake were good, different but tasted pretty good. My son had the all chocolate one and said it was coo(he's 17 ) For my family personally this isn't really our preference but I know many people absolutely love it and that's amazing. We had no clue what each cupcake was so maybe future when ordered though the app they could write on the box what each is considering they are boxed when we pickup so we don't know. And that would be helpful.

    I ordered several dozens of cupcakes for a group event here. Their website is simple and easy to navigate & place an order. I loved the variety that they offer. Besides regular ones, they have vegan & gluten free options. At time of writing this they had a bunch of cute Easter versions and I enjoyed it. My favorite was strawberry and birthday. They were ready on time and they loved the cupcakes.

    Strawberry cupcake with cream cheese icing
    Allison B.

    I have to preface by saying I'm not a huge cake person, but I do like a little cake now and then. I bought some cupcakes for my bosses birthday. The GF one was reportedly dry and crumbly, although the icing for all the cupcakes went over well so there is that! I got the strawberry cupcake and initially it tasted really good (it's my fave), but then it had a weird, bitter aftertaste. The icing was really, really sweet for cream cheese icing. Almost too much sugar so I couldn't taste anything else. All in all they weren't amazing, but they were ok for work birthday cupcakes. I give them a 5/10.

    Jumbo GIANT Happy Birthday to Me Vanilla Cupcake
    Richard Walton C.

    After doing a lot of walking downtown visiting memorials plus climbing lots of steps, I needed a second wind. What better way than a good old fashioned sugar rush, yes? Where can you get a lot of sugar to digest? The Flying Cupcake, that's where. They have GIANT cupcakes with a lot of icing to boot. I ordered the Jumbo GIANT Happy Birthday to Me - Vanilla cupcake. Everybody says I'm boring because I order vanilla over chocolate too much. Hey I like vanilla, okay? The cupcake was outstanding! Oh yes, it was fresh too; the cake was nice and moist. Definitely hit the spot and got me back on my feet with a second wind. I also decided to buy a couple of things for my granddaughters upcoming birthday next month. Even though she will now be a teenager officially this year, she's not too old for a Sally Sprinkles squishy. And I couldn't resist the pink T-shirt that says, "Someone Bring Me a Flying Cupcake." She likes t-shirts that say stuff on them. By the way, regarding parking on Mass Ave. I learned something today. If you text yourself the receipt after paying, the meter will not only text you with a receipt, but then also text you again when your time is about to expire. Awesome!

    Lunchbox Cake
    Layne D.

    I ordered a lunchbox cake (mini cake that feeds about 2 people) for my partners birthday since we were going to be in town. Ordering ahead was super easy online and I got to select the location and time for pick up. I've never been here before so I was hoping the photos and positive reviews were accurate. I ended up arriving about an hour before my selected time on the day of pickup but the cake was ready and waiting. It was exactly as pictured on their website! The birthday funfetti cake even came with a candle. The cake was good! The frosting is a bit on the sweet side but overall we both enjoyed it. The cake was moist and the lunchbox cake was the perfect size. I would definitely order again if in the area!

    Ti'Asha O.

    These cupcakes were the perfect compliment to a hand written card for two of my friend's birthdays. The presentation of the actual cupcake and the packaging always makes the experience feel special. The customer service has always been friendly, polite and efficient. I wish the cupcakes were more rich or moist. It's like the cake part is missing something but I can't quite put my finger on it exactly. It's still a cupcake so it's hard to go wrong! Definitely a must- try more than a must- have.

    Got a vegan vanilla birthday cake cupcake. It was extremely delicious - moist, not too sweet, and well portioned. The staff was kind & the vibe is eclectic. Definitely worth a visit.

    Cake

    Horrendous!!! I got a vanilla 2 layer cake with buttercream frosting. The cake was gorgeous ands was made on time, but it was $125 and tastes like actual play doh. I so wish I could have my money back. My friends party was ruined bc of this cake. I don't know how this place is so popular, they really need to change their recipe!! Do not go here if you want an edible cake!!!

    The "Mike Pence"
    Emm M.

    Very good cupcakes. I got the "Mike Pence" cupcake. It was dry aesthetic and tasted good. I thought the rainbow was made of candy, but it's a plastic ring, and I'm not a fan of that. Friendly servers in the food truck & it was a quick line despite having so many people.

    Cupcakes were good. Not enthusiastic about the size differences and prices. Don't plan on staying, WAY too small for that.

I also appreciate that there are vegan, gluten-free, and canine options for furry friends. When I walked in, the young lady working seemed uncomfortable, like she didn't know how or want to speak to any customers inside, so that made for a weird experience right away. We quickly made our selections, my husband getting the banana snickerdoodle and I got the chocolate cream filled. I ate mine as soon as we got home. I cut it in half and was surprised to see the "filling" was smaller than a penny - what a joke. Luckily the cupcake itself was moist and fresh, with the double icing on top also delicious. My husband liked his but it was not nearly as moist. For $4.50, I'd go back for the chocolate filled cupcake, but I'd probably go to a different location where I felt more like a valued customer (who hopefully gets an actually filled cupcake).

I found A Smudge Sweeter on Instagram, and after admiring all of their beautiful, custom desserts, I sent a message. The owner responded quickly and was able to make 50 cake pops for our party with only a week's notice. Not only did she make cake pops, but they were intricate, incredibly-themed cake pops that brought a lot of fun to our event. The party was right before Thanksgiving, so the cake pops had fun toppers that looked like turkeys, footballs, autumn leaves, etc. They were also delicious, which is sometimes hard to do when they're that beautiful too. You can now order dessert tasting platters from this business, which is definitely the next thing I want to try! Perfect to try out all of their offerings before making a decision on an upcoming gift.... or a fun thing to bring over to a friend's house for a fun night!
