From Christine's review
Jan 20, 2018
When you walk into this shop you are immediately struck by the sweet wafting aromas of freshly baked cakes and icing. The store itself is very tiny. It's a mother and daughter run business and they sell a few cupcakes and cookies upfront but predominantly do custom order cakes. No seating here just standing room literally you could awkwardly stand 4 people into this tiny area. To the right of the entrance are the cupcakes displayed for sale in a tall glass case. They have 8 flavours available that change weekly (check there facebook page to see). To the right of the display is the cashier counter where they have decorated sugar cookies and giant wedges of shortbread cookies individually packaged for sale. Behind the counter are beautiful displays of custom cakes and current cakes they are working on. Of course I was here to grab some cupcakes. However by 2pm they were already sold out of 4 of the 8 flavours for day. I was told they only bake a certain amount for the day so once it's gone that's it. These are the flavours I got: Vanilla cupcake - I found the cake to be quite dense for a cupcake and not particularly outstanding in flavour. The icing was good though sweet vanilla and very thick. Toasted Coconut Cupcake - This cupcake texture was lighter than vanilla one but still on the dense side for a cake and was also vanilla flavoured. The frosting nailed the toasted coconut flavour and would definitely be a hit for a coconut lover. Red Velvet Cupcake - One of my favourites! This cake was much lighter and fluffier and what I prefer in a cupcake with a mild cocoa taste and not too sweet. The cream cheese frosting was sooo good though!!! Fluffy and smooth with that tangy cream cheese taste and a good balance of sweet vanilla flavouring. Cookies and Cream Cupcake - This one was also very good. The chocolate cake was soo light and fluffy on this one which was surprising as chocolate cakes tend to be denser. It had a light chocolate flavour that wasn't too sweet. The frosting on this was also incredibly good. Nice and fluffly and tasted just like the inside of an oreo. I also had to grab one of the individually wrapped Sugar cookies as it was too cute to pass up. A classic sugar cookie topped with pink royal icing and a red fondant heart was as scrumptious as it looked. A lovely sweet and soft sugar cookie with a delightful vanilla flavoured icing was also a hit. Overall I have to say the varying textures of cakes was quite surprising but they have all the frostings nailed! The cupcakes however are on the smaller side and I was disappointed that so many of the flavours were already sold out so early in the day but I guess that's a sign of how good they are. They're custom cakes look incredible and by all the in progress cakes they were working on I'd give them my business if in need. I love supporting little family run local shops so I'll be back to try some more flavours. read more
