The lemon bar & sugar cookie bar were gone by the time we pulled the car away from the curb. Friendly/personable customer service, great pricing (two treats for less than $6!), cute storefront & the cakes looked gorgeous! read more

We had them make a retirement cake and it turned out awesome! The customer service and attention to detail is amazing. It also was delicious! I highly recommend. read more

This place is amazing! They made a custom ordered cake for my daughter's high school graduation and it greatly exceeded our expectations! The caked looked beautiful and was delicious! The team at Sweet Side was great to work with, especially Brooke. The whole experience with them was fantastic, from start to finish. I highly recommend them, especially if you are looking for a unique cake for your special day!! read more

I ordered an 8" round red velvet cake for my daughters bday. I believe the base cost was $45 but after adding 3 things, 1) colored frosting, 2) a colored ribbon to the base, and 3) a sugar nameplate it came out to over $60. Although the cake was decorated beautifully I was disappointed when we cut it to find it was a marbled reddish brown. I think the coloring must have gone awry when they were making the batter and then the batter wasn't mixed well thus resulting in a marbled appearance. It really didn't look very appetizing. It tasted ok, but not like a $60+ cake. I would give the decorating 4 stars, but taste, value, and inside appearance 2 stars. read more

Beautiful and delicious custom novelty cake by this bakery! Prompt, professional and they interpreted my vision perfectly.

We ordered a cake for my son's bday party. It was delicious but expensive for what it was. Most of the decor they did was pretty simple (blue frosting, one sign with my son's name and oreo crumbs on top), and I put some toys on top of it and other items which made the cake look a lot better (the toys cost me a dollar total and they wanted to charge me more than 20 bucks for doing the same thing) Again - the cake tasted great, but the price was high and the decoration was underwhelming. read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place! They put together a beautiful, last-minute, birthday cake for a pole dancer friend of mine. The cake was stunning and every single person asked me where I got it from! The staff was also very easy to work with despite my last minute request. I will definitely be coming back to them. PS. The macaroons are to DIE for!!! read more

Best place in Seattle for quality cakes and other speciality items. We moved to Seattle about six years ago and have been going to sweet side since then. Sweet side has great cakes, Macrons, cookies and recently Cinnamon Buns. Kara is a great owner, takes pride in her creations and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Love this place! Best macaroons & cookies ever! Looking forward to ordering a cake from them!

OMG we just had the Salted Caramel Cheesecake and it was AMAZING!! Possibly the best cheesecake I have ever had. Staff was very nice!!!

Was very disappointed that they were "too busy" with a wedding in the upcoming week that I couldn't order a birthday cake. We live across the street and have enjoyed their cakes in the past. So much for supporting neighborhood business. Won't be asking again. read more

The macaron drip cake that was prepared for my daughter's birthday was, according to my daugher, the prettiest cake she has seen ever and it was very tasty. Also, the lady who took the order over the phone was very knowledgable and considerate. All in all, a very good experience. Highly recommended. read more

Delicious cheesecakes! We've had both the New York and the Apple Pie. Both are very good. Ordering over the phone is super easy, you agree upon a pickup time/date, and then your cheesecake is waiting for you when you stop by. While parking on this block is tough, there almost always seems to be spots along NE 45th right in front of the gas station, so then you just have to walk across the crosswalk to get your cheesecake. Sometimes they have free samples of cake for you to try. read more

I threw my wife a baby shower and used The Sweet Side to have a custom cake made plus ordered some macaroons and pretzel sticks. All items were amazing! Kara and Elizabeth were so easy to work with right from ordering a tasting sample box to finalizing the cake design and picking up the cake. It was delicious! Macaroons were just perfect. All guests loved the bakery items. Cannot recommend enough if you're looking for custom cakes. read more

Extra star for the most delicious brownie I have ever had. The slice of cake I had was dry but the ganache was phenomenal.

They were so easy to work with, had great ideas for the cake, made a delicious and fun cake, and had very reasonable prices. I will definitely use them again. Thank you! read more

I truly do not understand a business who runs on "custom" cakes can't even allow me to order one of their standard custom cakes for a bday. Truly doesn't make sense to me - and the bday is over a week away! I have read the reviews and it states you need to order a cake within 7 days. It's the 10th and I need it by the 20th but they are all booked. Really don't get it. Good luck and I guess good luck to me trying to find ANYONE who wants to sell me a cake for a bday party. read more

I ordered my wedding cakes from here. It was a small wedding so we didn't have a custom cake, and instead ordered from the ones already listed on the site. We went with the strawberry short cake and the lemon blueberry cheesecake. Both were amazing. They were lovely to look at and had great flavor. Our guests raved about both of them. I can't wait to have some other event so I can order another cake...or two. read more

We asked Sweet Side Bakery to create a VERY customized cake for our wedding - one that showed off our love for the city of Seattle and the Seattle Mariners. While we had a concept for our cake, Kara from Sweet Side took our rough ideas and turned them into an amazing product - a three-tiered cake that was both delicious and beautiful. We received many compliments on the cake's design from our guests, and working with Kara was both easy and fun. She was very attentive and responsive to our initial query as well as to our questions. She also volunteered to pick up desserts from another vendor so that we only needed to manage one delivery at our venue, making our lives that much easier on wedding day. We HIGHLY recommend Kara and Sweet Side Bakery for your wedding cake needs! read more

We chose The Sweet Side to make our wedding cake and so glad we did! It turned out perfect. I spoke with Kara a few times via email and sent her pictures as to what we wanted our cake to look like. Her and the team made the cake exactly to what we showed her and wanted. I was so impressed. Not to mention, the cake was delicious. As for price, very reasonable and better than most other vendors I had researched. I will definitely be using The Sweet Side again for other events. read more

Pros: - great cheesecakes - they can turn around orders fairly quickly Cons: - alright regular cakes - a bit pricey Good for grabbing birthday cheesecakes or smaller cakes for friends. read more

My parents who live out of state ordered a birthday cake for me from the Sweet Side. I hadn't been to this bakery before but so glad we did. The cake was amazing. It was the traditional German chocolate cake but with their coffee icing... And it was awesome. You guy should consider adding it to your regular menu. Will be back! read more

Kara made the sweet bar for our wedding- an adorable cutting cake, and a variety of desserts including marshmallow pops, rice krispies, pie pops, macarons and s'mores shooters. Everything was absolutely delicious and looked amazing too. My only regret was not taking time to eat more of it! All of our guests were raving about it. The process working with Kara was easy and fun- she is amazingly creative and super sweet. If you are looking for a fantastic wedding cake or yummy treats for a wedding, party or other event definitely go with the sweet side! read more

First of all, we are from Alaska and planned the entire West Seattle wedding online. We liked what we saw at The Sweet Side so we went with them. SO glad we did! We ordered 9 of Kara's signature cakes. They were stunning, just stunning. And then we cut into them and they were fantastic, and by that I mean DELICIOUS. Our guests were so happy and so impressed, we were too! When my daughter and her bridesmaids went to pick up the cakes, they were enchanted by the bakery. They said it was adorable and pristine. Also, they said it felt like a bunch of best friends were in there baking together. It's nice to know that a bit of fun and love goes into Kara's special cakes. Thank you for helping to make my daughter's wedding the amazing day that it was. You and your cakes played a very big part in that. I highly recommend The Sweet Side to anyone that wants the perfect cake. Now...do you ship to Alaska? : ) read more

This is such an awesome bakery. I had an airplane themed birthday cake made for my son and not only did it look great it was also delicious! I ca't wait to use them again for future events. read more

Delicious, beautiful desserts. Have ordered from here for birthdays and cake-dash at school auction. Always a hit!

We loved our wedding cake experience with The SweetSide! Kara was fantastic, the cake design was exactly what we wanted, the cake itself was delicious (coconut with raspberry and chocolate with salted caramel- yum!) and delivery was on time and uneventful. We're not quite sure how but there will be more SweetSide cakes in our future! Perfect! read more

Ordered a custom cake shaped like a kidney to celebrate our friend's kidney transplant, and they did an amazing job!

My sister ordered her boyfriend's birthday cake from here which turned out pretty well! It was the shape of a Seahawk jersey and was a red velvet cake. When I went to pick it up, his name was spelled wrong on the cake! Luckily we had enough time before the birthday party for her to come back and redo the letters... But it didn't look the best after she had made the quick adjustments! The cakes seem overpriced for the design quality which is unfortunate but this was my only experience with the company. Overall, the staff was nice to work with and helped resolve the issue as fast as they could! read more

Got a 6" round for my kid's birthday. I actually served home made cupcakes and had just bought the cake for the whole candle blowing thing. However, most kids wanted CAKE! Luckily, the cake was tall and fed many of the 30+ kids plus some adults! The cake was beautiful and delicious. Pricey, but worth it. I got a basic cake and design at it was $65. read more

I had such a wonderful wedding cake with unique flavor a from The Sweet Side: dark chocolate with salted Caramel and coconut with vanilla. It was so simple and elegant and exactly what I asked for :) read more

The employees here are so nice and the desserts are amazing! I ordered the salted caramel cheesecake and they were very accommodating to my specific requests and had the cake done with special requests within a few hours. The employees all seemed very excited to make this cake for my work event and it is easy to tell they love what they do. Today I brought the cheesecake in to work and it was devoured within minutes! Everyone, including myself, thought it was the best cheesecake we had had! I strongly recommend this bakery and the salted caramel cheesecake ;) read more

I used The Sweet Side for a cake for my daughter's 12th birthday. It was a bit of a splurge, but so worth it! The party had a fashion design theme. I called Kara, explained the party and the activities the guests would be doing over the phone, and after just that one, brief call, she made a cake that was PERFECT! And not only did it look amazing, it was delicious! (Sometimes I find myself disappointed by the fancy bakery cake, because the cake itself is dry -- but not in this case.) I would use The Sweet Side again, for sure! read more

We used The Sweet Side for our wedding cake (along with their dessert bar) and it was excellent. Several of our family said it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. The cake and all the different desserts were delicious. read more

Easiest vendor to choose by far! Kara and her team at The SweetSide provided us with our first cake tasting and we had no need to look any further. Kara was so easy to create with and made the process so effortless. My cake was absolutely gorgeous!! Surrounded by family pictures and candlelight, this cake made such a presence at my reception and it was more than I could have ever asked for! I cannot wait to return to The Sweetside for future yummy pieces of art:) read more

We loved working with Kara when we planned our wedding, she's the most accommodating person on the planet. My husband and I knew we wanted chocolate cake but couldn't decide on a filling because they're all too good! So, we asked Kara if we could do 3 different fillings of approximately the same number of slices of each filling between a 4-tier cake and a 2-tier groom's cake. Kara said absolutely she could make it happen. Then, about 3 weeks before the wedding, we realized our expected guest count of 250 was actually going to be 200 which meant we were going to be swimming in cake (not the worst thing! But also, I was hoping we weren't going to have to pay for cake that wouldn't be eaten). We called The Sweet Side and explained, asked if we could switch to 2 flavors and would they let us downsize at all without sacrificing height? A few hours later, I had an email in my inbox from Kara with a few options of how we could make 2 flavors work for fewer slices while still keeping the big cake at 4-tiers and the groom's cake at 2-tiers. Aside from all of this outstanding customer service, our cakes were also absolutely DELICIOUS and the designs were exactly what we had described. We couldn't have been happier with The Sweet Side, and we're looking forward to ordering an "anniversary" cake from them every year going forward so that we can relive the best day of our lives!! read more
