Super bummed to have to make this review. I've used this bakery a hand full of times, but 3 in the…read morelast month due to my normal bakery being booked. I actually planned to start using this as my main bakery, but sadly I won't be using them anymore. I wanted a cake that was 50 servings and was quoted $250. Understandable, they work hard and deserve to charge that. Unfortunately, that's not what I wanted to pay for this cake so she recommended changing it to 25 servings & adding cupcakes for $175. I agreed (even though I did get a 25 serving cake for $65 3 weeks ago.) I understand this cake was 2 tiers and more detailed. With the addition of cupcakes I understood the $175 price. However, it was $175 for only the cake- not cupcakes. Ok, even though that wasn't how it was quoted fine, we'll just provide our own cupcakes. So she then told me the total and it's $186 (or something close to that.) That's with tax I was told. So why was I ever told $175 in the first place? Also, I'm not 100% sure, but pretty sure that all of the other "quotes" I was given from them was what I paid each time. Not a different price later. I understand tax- that's not my issue. It's the not saying things clearly. It was very misleading to suggest changing to the smaller cake & cupcakes for $175. Then, before I decided against the additional cupcakes she said it would be $225. I asked why would I do that when it's basically the same price that it was to begin with with the original cake I wanted. She in an annoyed with me voice let me know it was $25 less & that she wasn't trying to rip me off. It don't think she was either, but she definitely wasn't clear with pricing, seemed to have an attitude towards the end & didn't seem to value my business which is super unfortunate. I try to have loyalty to any service that does a nice job and is consistent & I get many cakes- probably averaging 1 or so a month. I also always recommend whoever I use when people ask. Unfortunately, this will be my last cake from Two Whisks Bakery & my recommendation will probably be this story instead now. I do want to note the lady I dealt with the last 2 times was not the same as today & she was lovely. Sad I won't be doing business with her anymore. I know the struggle of small businesses & word of mouth advertising and it's unfortunate how this situation ended up.

We also bought the amazing rice krispy treats (dairy free)- one covered in jelly beans and one covered in nerds. Again, the jelly beans were so soft & fresh. The rice krispy treat was so gooey and delicious- I ate pieces at a time because it was so big. This store was a delightful find on a weekday when not much was open. My daughter with allergies was very happy to find some safe options. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

It is always very colorful inside the shop and they do have seating options. Sometimes the amount of options can be overwhelming so make sure you take your time to review all of the options before ordering. They also have cookies in addition to cupcakes and you can order cakes ahead of time. I recommend you go earlier as they don't replace the flavors that sell out for the day.

From the buttery graham cracker crust to the rich, creamy filling and that bright cherry on top, every bite was a sweet little moment of joy. The flavor was spot on--sweet but not overly sugary, and the texture was perfectly smooth. Presentation is a big win here too. The dessert came tucked into a cute little box that made it feel like opening a gift. You can tell there's real thought put into how they serve their treats. The only reason this isn't a full 5 stars? The wait was just a bit longer than expected, and we would've loved more variety available at the time we visited. But honestly, that cheesecake alone was worth it. Whether you're strolling downtown or just craving something sweet, Designer Desserts is a fun and flavorful stop worth it

I've been a longtime fan of Area 51 Cupcakery, so naturally, I trusted them with one of the most…read moreimportant desserts I've ever ordered -- a custom cake for my brother's first-ever surprise 50th birthday party. Two weeks before the event, I came in person with a printed cake design, a clear color theme (green, cream, and white), and a macaron accent order to go with it. I was flexible on the design details, just committed to the vision. On the day of pickup, I arrived a little late -- my fault -- but there was no cake waiting, and my order couldn't be found. Hannah behind the counter did her best, and when owner Robert walked in, I calmly explained everything from the start. I won't lie -- I was heartbroken more than angry. This was a big night. What happened next is why I'm writing this review. Robert and his team didn't hesitate. They snapped a photo of the design from my phone, asked every detail, and promised to make it right -- with Robert personally delivering the cake to the venue (thankfully just 5 minutes away). And he did. He showed up with the cake designer in tow and delivered something truly stunning: a handsome, elegant cake that fit the theme perfectly and genuinely wowed my brother and guests. And the flavor? Their Atomic. Banana (pudding), strawberries (jam), and chocolate, vanilla & banana cake. YUM! It was incredibly moist and delicious. What could have been a devastating hiccup for such a milestone night became one of the most memorable parts of the celebration. That's a testament to Robert and his team's character, dedication, and craft. Thank you, Area 51 Cupcakery. We've loved your cupcakes from day one, and this experience only deepened our loyalty. We'll always come back.

Yuuuup, I'll be here on a monthly basis. They also have a punch card system. Every 12 cupcakes will get you 1 cupcake for free. The inside is super cool, there are numerous spots for photo ops and they even have a ring light and camera holder if interested in using it. My first time visiting I tried the following cupcakes: chai pumpkin latte (daily special and DANGGGG DELICIOUS), Almond wedding (my least favorite but still good, I think almond cupcakes just aren't for me), cookies and cream (divine, rich, 2nd favorite), and the Boston cream (also 2nd favorite lol). All of the cupcakes were moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. They are made daily and you can feel and taste the love. Area 51 is definitely my favorite cupcake spot of all time. I've gone to Area 51 probably every week since finding em and I can't get enough. They also made cupcakes for my baby's gender reveal. They were extremely accommodating and everything turned out perfect! I highly recommend them for custom cakes, cupcakes, or even just grabbing 1 of their daily made cupcakes. SOOO GOOD!

I ordered a pack of four cupcakes. I was interested in as well as a smoothie and went on my merry way. When I got home, I enjoyed the almond wedding cake cupcake and it was very delicious! Not too sweet, but very elegant and just what I would definitely serve or like to see in a high-end party or event of some kind.
