SusieCakes - Coming Soon

I came to SusieCakes because a cake-obsessed friend - "cake is my favorite food group" she said - recommended it. My friend just had a birthday so of course I drove to SusieCakes to check out some cake options for a birthday gathering for her that evening. It was a last minute decision so I knew I had to choose from what was available, the website warns that many items need to be ordered 24-48 hours in advance, but I thought, if nothing else, I could get some cupcakes or cookies or something. First - GPS tells you to enter the parking lot from 5th street, but when you do that, it looks like you're just at an office building with no bakery in sight. I parked anyway and wandered around and happened upon a SusieCakes employee who led me to the store front so when you come, drive straight into the lot, don't turn right or left, and continue going until you reach the covered parking area, that's the closest place to park to the bakery. You might be able to enter from 6th street but the yellow arrow points outward so it might be a "no entry" situation. (See picture attached)When I got inside, the ladies at the front were so helpful and patient, explaining all the options and prices to me. I could get a small cake, they had several varieties already prepared, or a variety of cupcakes, but the most intriguing option to me was the cake by the slice option. I chose 5 slices, the slices are generous portions too. I went with Candy Cane, Tropical, Lemon, Marble, and Celebration (classic birthday cake). The ladies helping me joked "you've made yourself a flight of cake!" And I'm not gonna lie that sounds like something they should offer! A lil cake sampler. The slices are packaged in their own individual cake boxes and labeled, they travel well, and my favorite part, you leave them at room temperature, you don't have to refrigerate them (if you plan to eat them the same day). I had planned for 5 people but there were nine at the gathering and we all had cake and there was even a little left over! It was so good! I tried the lemon and the celebration, they were moist and delicious! The birthday girl was very happy!

Great little cake shop in the neighborhood. Inter interior is bright and clean, showing off those cakes and cupcakes in all their glory. The staff are incredible. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Definitely ask their opinions and recommendations. They know what they're talking about. I got half a dozen cupcakes of assorted flavors for a small dinner party. I didn't actually get to taste one though since they were such a hit and demolished by the time I got to them. Going to have to go back and get myself a slice (or two) of cake.

SusieCakes just opened a new location on W6th and we can already tell it's going to be a hit. With Swedish Hill pop-up replacing the larger establishment, SusieCakes offers a second baked goods option in the neighborhood and specializes in the celebratory type sweets. REAL butter cream y'all! Personally, I enjoyed the chocolate over the vanilla; and the frosting is certainly the star. It could've been the batch, but the vanilla was a tad too dry, crumbling a lot.

It's been a while since I've had a SusieCake, but my mint chocolate cupcake was so fluffy and delicious, the perfect cake texture. I would have loved a little more mint in the frosting, but that's just me and the frosting was rich and excellent.It's a surprise to find this new location on the ground floor of a 4-story office building facing 6th across from the erstwhile Z'Tejas, but it's a great location and it looks good inside, fresh & gleaming and nostalgic at the same time.The woman who took my order was so amazingly sweet and kind, had lots of recommendations when asked, and was a joy to order from. I'm so glad this new location is now open!

Pricey, but worth it. I checked out the new 6th street location last weekend and purchased a 6" lemon cake. Everyone who had a slice LOVED it. I was able to get 12 good portion slices from the 6" cake. My husband now wants to try all the flavors, and only half jokingly suggested we invest in the company.

What a great addition to the cupcake/cake offerings we have now in Austin! Truly the best cupcake I have ever had ! Only thing better was the amazingly sweet and helpful staff ! They could not have been more pleasant and accommodating with my 'red/white and blue' cupcake order today! Thanks to you all for your help! Susiecakes is lucky to have each of you on staff!
