AmaZing cake thank you :)! Our guest absolutely loved the flavors. We had such a great day.

Got my dads birthday cake from here and it was sooooo good! it was definitely more on the pricey side but you get what you pay for- a top notch gourmet cake. Ordered a carrot cake with some custom lettering and she knocked it out of the park. the buttercream icing and cream cheese frosting were both unbelievable- the cream cheese frosting had like a pineapple taste to it. will definitely be getting more cakes from here in the future! i hear she makes vegan cakes too !

I needed a custom two-tiered 3D graduation cake for my graduation recently and contacted several places in the Boston area for a quote, including The Sleepy Baker, Sweet Tooth, Yum Bunnies, and Danish Pastry House. We chose The Sleepy Baker for the relatively reasonable price, choice of flavors, and cake design (some places would only do one-tier or 2D. Liz at The Sleepy Baker quoted me $150 for a cake feeding 8 people. She went back and forth with me a few times over email to get all my requirements but was kind of hard to reach and at times I wasn't sure if we were on or off. I had no issues with pickup. The cake looked good from afar but up close had a lot of flaws and imperfections, and lacked finesse. Also I've had much better tasting carrot cake.

Great communication with Liz. The cake was just as I requested ... look at my photos like how cute could this be! Covid distancing, will order from again! Also.. delicious !

A talented baker and a patient and kind human! Liz made our wedding cake for our April 2022 wedding, creating a beautiful and delicious three-tiered cake exactly to our design requests. What's more, she created one layer non-dairy to accommodate the groom's dairy allergy while making the other two tiers dairy (so that everyone doesn't have to eat non-dairy!). She met with us early and was always responsive when we had questions or new ideas in the lead up to the wedding. 10/10 would recommend and so glad and grateful that we found The Sleepy Baker.

Awesome cakes! They are works of art AND they taste really really good. Liz did a beautiful job on a fun birthday cake that she made to look like a flower pot filled with succulent plants (cactus, etc.). Each plant was unique and she really focused on the details. The birthday boy, who is really into gardening and growing succulents, was amazed how each plant was subtly tinged with just the right colors and signs of a healthy plant. And not only did it look beautiful, it tasted fantastic -- perfectly baked, rich and flavorful, not too sweet. Thank you Liz! read more

Anything which I say about the cake that liz made will not be enough. It was just amazing. It looked as I wanted it to and it tasted AMAZING! We coordinated everything over emails (as I live in san diego) and she gave the cake as I wanted. She went the extra mile to add decorations which would accentuated the cake. Her fondant work is great. The fondant was soft, rolled very thing and fresh (you can tell when the fondant quality is great). She made sure there was a generous amount of buttercream to keep the cake moist. Would highly recommend her! As she says 'her chocolate is most popular' and for all the right reason. read more

Liz absolutely lived up to reviews and deserves the 5 star rating. I didn't even know I wanted a cake until four days before the party. We met Thursday night, she talked out the ideas, and actually sparked an even-better idea, which ended up being the theme of the party. The confidence of knowing what our theme was got the momentum going, raised the bar and got us excited. And then there was the technical part.... she rocked literally, complete with LOTS of fondant rocks, kayaks with paddles, water, mile/trail markers with his name on them...... SO GREAT! Wish everyone offered the same kind of service. THANKS LIZ! Melanie read more

I serendipitously stumbled upon Liz the Sleepy Baker after a google search when my usual go to bakery had closed down. Of course I had waited until the last minute, but she got back to me right away, told me that she could fit me and in, worked with me on my design and made super helpful suggestions. The end result was beyond my expectations and she was super friendly and great to talk to when I picked up my cake. As I told her when I left, that was not the last time she would be hearing from me so I'll be back without a doubt for my next bakery/cake creation need. I highly, highly recommend her and can't wait to see what she creates us next! read more

I have known Liz for years, so it was only fitting that after seeing her amazing cakes, I pretty much insisted that she make my birthday cake. Since we know each other pretty well, our consultation was over instant massage. I gave her a Boston theme and a flavor (chocolate on chocolate) and let her work her magic. The cake exceeded my expectations. It was 3 tiers chocolate with a silouette of the Boston skyline on the bottom, perfectly crafted replicas of the team logos, the CITGO sign, and a life sized Dunkin Coffee cup on the top. It completely exceeded any expectations of artistry and taste. I can't wait for Liz to make my next cake!!! read more

Meet the Business Owner: Liz B.

I am cake designer and baker who started in the business by making cakes for my kids seven years ago. During the day I worked as a Human Resources professional in higher education and fulfilled my need for creativity by baking and designing cakes at night. As demand for my cakes continued to increase, I made the decision to leave my career in HR after 15 years and start a new one as the Sleepy Baker. I am so excited that I get the opportunity to devote my time to fulfilling my passion for designing and baking cakes. Being around my two young kids who started me down this sweet path is an added bonus!

The pricing (in 2022) for each signature cupcake is $5.50 each, $20 for 4, $27 for 6 and $48 for 12. I stopped by Maine Girl Cupcakes at opening time and there was a line crammed into the very small shop. I picked out 6 cupcakes to enjoy back at my home which is halfway to Maine, lol. I got: Orono Oreo (cookies-n-creme cupcake, cookies-n-creme buttercream, cookies-n-creme candy bar, chocolate covered Oreo) Camper (chocolate cupcake, marshmallow buttercream, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate drizzle, marshmallows ganache, miniature chocolate bar) Cozy Cocoa (chocolate cupcake, hot cocoa buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, marshmallow bits) Southern Belle (red velvet cupcake, cream cheese buttercream) Best Friend's Friend (chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, chocolate sprinkles) PB Party (chocolate cupcake with peanut butter buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, & mini PB cup). The texture of each cupcake was very moist and dense and buttercream frostings and toppings were sweet, but not too sweet. Just on the overwhelming demand for cupcakes, another customer suggested a bigger shop is definitely needed. Maine Girl Cupcakes are definitely wildly popular here in Metrowest!

The bagel was toasted nicely and paired perfectly with the cream cheese, while the croissant was flaky, buttery, and delicious.

The French Vietnamese Au Lait was rich and smooth with a nice sweetness, and the Jade Matcha Cold Brew was refreshing and a really interesting combination. There are also lots of coffee flavors and drink options to choose from, which makes this place fun to visit if you enjoy trying different café drinks. Sweetwaters definitely feels like a nice hidden gem in the Natick area for a quick breakfast or coffee stop.

Licks. Living in Connecticut, I was unfamiliar with J.P. Licks. I found out it's a Massachusetts ice cream chain with locations in Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Wellesley, Andover, Lynnfield, and Dedham. When you walk into their colorful store, you'll see the big menu board highlighting their frozen treats - Ice Cream & Hard Yogurt Flavors, Soft & Tart Yogurt Flavors, Frappes, Smoothies, Dairy Free Drinks, Toppings, Sundaes, Splits, and more. We saw ice cream cakes and pies, ice cream sandwiches, cupcakes and so much more. They even have a coffee bar with hot breakfast & snacks like oatmeal, waffles, croissant and egg sandwiches, etc. I went into their Feature Flavors menu and was delighted to find a personal favorite - Orange Chocolate Chip "Creamy orange ice cream with soft, dark chocolate chips". It was outstanding. My wife went with a dish of Coconut Almond Chip - "Ultra coconut creamy ice cream with sweet, shredded coconut, roasted salted almonds, and semisweet chocolate chips in this chewy-crunchy textural delight". I sampled it and enjoyed it more than mine! Small cups ran over $5 apiece, so be forewarned. The young crew working at J.P. Licks was friendly and fun to chat with. We took one of their tables at the front of the store and the six of us enjoyed our excellent ice cream.

HeyTea at Natick Mall is a welcome addition to a suburban mall landscape that does not have many…read moreoptions at this level, and the excitement around the opening has carried over into a genuine regular following among locals who have been waiting for a closer location. We walked into a clean, modern store with a layout that is easy to navigate, situated near the Apple Store on the first floor in a spot that is straightforward to find. The drinks hold up to what the brand does well elsewhere. The coconut mango boom is the natural starting point and delivers the same generous mango chunks and light sweetness that made it popular at other locations. The cloud crisp grape is worth ordering if you want something more refreshing and fruit forward, and anything in the mango or grape family is a reliable direction to go when deciding between options. The fruit teas are consistently well made and the matcha holds up for anyone leaning in that direction. The staff is notably friendly and has been a consistent highlight even during the busier stretches that come with being a newer location building its audience. On a good visit the drinks come out quickly and the overall experience is smooth. Wait times are the main variable worth planning around. The location can run long during peak hours, and the gap between the estimated and actual wait has frustrated enough people that it is worth checking the app before heading over or ordering ahead when possible. A 30 minute estimate stretching past 60 minutes is not unheard of here, particularly on weekends. The drinks are good enough that the wait tends to feel worth it once you have the cup in hand, but managing expectations on timing makes the whole experience easier.

They have an app that you can download so that you can skip the long lines and there are coupons for when you first download the app. The app makes it a lot more convent to order ahead of everyone so that you can skip the long lines. I really recommend downloading their app since you get a 10% OFF a drink birthday discount for downloading it! The best part is that I got a free tote bag from their grand opening days with the purchase of a drink! I really recommend this place if you like your drinks with fresh, real fruit ingredients!

Our Swirls Around the World Family is so beyond blessed and grateful to have connected with the incredible Liz (aka The Sleepy Baker!). An important and special part of our Swirls Around the World Mission is paying it forward through Swirls Warrior Days for pediatric and young adult cancer fighters and families. On Monday, we were contacted by a warrior family to assist in finding a special cake to celebrate their warrior's 3rd birthday that upcoming Friday. After searching for bakeries in the area, we came upon Liz and The Sleepy Baker and sent an email to ask if she would be willing to team up with Swirls to help make a warrior's birthday extra special. Not even 5 minutes after sending the email we received a response from Liz more than willing and happy to make this possible. Not only did Liz offer to make the cake on such short notice, but she also offered to deliver the cake herself. Liz created the most perfect 3rd birthday cake, leaving us speechless. She capture the warrior's favorite characters (Thomas the Train and Lighting McQueen) AND his favorite flavor! Lis brought all of the the magic, smiles, and blessings - and helped create the most special birthday for a child and family who have been through so much together. Liz is a true angel on Earth. We are so thankful and appreciative beyond words for her heart, dedication, and support. The true icing on the cake to make a warrior's birthday dream come true! Thank you so so much Liz!!! You are incredible! read more

I have now had the opportunity to purchase many of my children's birthday cakes from the Sleepy Baker and have never been disappointed. She is truly talented and lovely to work with. She is always up for a challenge. For example just recently for my 5 year old's Starwars themed party he wanted a Luke Skywalkers X-wing plane cake. I tried to convince my son to have a Darth Vader or R2D2 cake which I thought would already be hard but perhaps a little easier but she insisted she was up for the challenge of it. The cake was spectacular. What was equally as impressive was how incredible it tasted. This was not your typical kids cake but truly gourmet. It was layered and filled with a dark chocolate swiss meringue butter cream! The frosting, the filling, and the cake part were heavenly. I heard many of our grown-up guests say it was the best cake they had ever tasted. It was fabulous to be able to please both the younger and older set! I never write yelp reviews but couldn't help myself this time. read more

I originally met Liz when she made mini-cupcakes for a charity auction I helped plan. The cupcakes were amazing so when my Mom mentioned she was getting the cake for my cousins baby shower I told her I had a great baker to use and immediately contacted The Sleepy Baker. Liz was fabulous to work with - so easy going and ready to make tons of suggestions since I wasn't really sure what I wanted. I gave her the shower invitation and she created a replica of it on the cake. The cake looked amazing but tasted even better. I am not normally a huge fan of frosting but Liz''s lemon swiss meringue frosting was by far one of the greatest things I have ever tasted. All the women at the shower were practically licking their plates clean!! I will definitely be using The Sleepy Baker for all future bakery needs!!! read more

I had such a nice experience working with Sleepy Baker for my daughter's 1st birthday! It was super easy to get in touch and coordinate everything over email, which made the whole process stress-free. She created the most adorable personalized smash cake that perfectly matched my daughter's birthday theme. To meet her order minimum, I added cupcakes, which turned out to be a great decision because they were just as beautiful and delicious! While the price was on the higher side for a four-inch cake, it was clear that extra care and attention went into every detail. She genuinely cared about my experience and went above and beyond to ensure the cake stayed intact during the drive home. Plus, she was so sweet and thoughtful throughout the process. I'd recommend Sleepy Baker for any special occasion! read more

I will never forget the first time I tried one of Liz's cakes. It was at a party and the cake was gorgeous- so gorgeous that I figured it would be one of those "gorgeous, but tasteless cakes". The cake that I out into my mouth blew my mind. It was so delicious! I kept saying to people, "Oh my god! Did you try the cake? It's amazing!" Since then I have been lucky enough to enjoy Liz's confections at several parties and have had her make cakes for several of my own. Each was amazing. Gorgeous, delicious, and loved by all. Try her cake, you will not be disappointed! read more

Had my mom's 70th birthday. We asked the sleepy baker to include all of her favorite things on the cake... A cake shaped like a slot machine!!! They even added a working lever on the side of the slot machine. All we had to do is just give them a few thoughts and their creativity did the rest. The cake was delicious and a smashing hit of the party!! (and there's the picture of it here on Yelp!) read more

Can you say banana pudding? It's so delicious, I want some right now so badly. Layers of pudding, vanilla wafers, and banana. They sell out quite often, especially during the holidays. I think I literally ran over after the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular to get some, since they were sold out before. I'm not a cupcake fan, but I suppose they have those too. read more

Liz is amazing! I had a difficult request for a birthday cake, and she went out of her way to make it for me. She made a delicious chocolate buttercream cake that was gluten-free and sugar-free.
