Geno’s Sweets

I'm bummed to say Geno's Sweets did not hit the spot as I hoped it would. I don't have a sweet tooth, so when I got a hankering for a carrot cake cupcake, I had to indulge. Carrot cake is one of my absolute favorite flavors and I was excited to sample it in cupcake form while supporting a local business.The cupcake arrived looking cute (see picture)! However, the entire cupcake tasted rather...smoky? The cake was moist but the frosting was a bit hard. However, neither the cake nor the frosting were very flavorful. Unfortunately, the smoky taste rendered it inedible.I really wanted to like Geno's Sweets, but my recent experience did not live up to the potential. I'd be willing to give them another try-- perhaps this was a one-off situation?

I'm so glad this place just opened up in Charles Center food court because they make some really cute, wonderful sweet treats! Today I got a red velvet cupcake, and it was delicious! The cake was moist and flavorful, topped with a smooth creamy Swiss butter meringue that was perfect and not too sweet. I also had the pleasure of meeting the really nice owner and operators Geno and Shawn. Besides cupcakes, they also make cookies, dessert in a jar, sliced cakes and whole cakes. I will definite go back again to try their other scrumptious cupcake flavors like turtle, pineapple, snickerdoodle and Oreo!

This is my second time visiting GenoSweets, and I would be remiss if I did not leave a comment. His cupcakes are divine. They are moist, delicate and so satisfying that they melt in your mouth with each bite. Mmmm. Today, I purchased his homemade chocolate chip cookies and all I can say is baaaaaby get to Geno's for those delectable one-of-a-kind treats made from scratch and filled with lots of LOVE. His passion for baking is evident! I will see you soon, Geno...

My son brought home some cupcakes from Gino's Sweets and I had a strawberry and a birthday. Both cupcakes were fresh and moist. The icing was perfect because it wasn't super sweet. Haven't had cupcakes this fresh in a long time. Hope to visit the location soon to try some other flavors!

These were okay cupcakes. I got 4 different flavors, they all had the same slightly lemon flavored cupcake as the base. They also all had the same flavorless, almost lard textured buttercream. They only thing that let you know what type of cupcake it was supposed to be was the topping on the frosting. The texture of the cupcakes were absolutely amazing though. But I don't think the price fits with what you get. $24 for 6 cupcakes? Doesn't seem worth it

I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've tried every cupcake they have ... but I love this place and the cupcakes are worth it! Moist, flavorful, and rich, it's the perfect treat after a long week. I also buy packs of cupcakes as thank-you gifts and they're always well received!Try the triple chocolate, you can't go wrong, and don't miss out on the cookies!
