Trifles - West Bloomfield

Trifles is so amazing! I wish the store front location was still open because Imiss getting our family birthday cakes there. Gwen is fabulous and literally makes the best cakes I've ever had.

Initial impression was not consistent with a 5 star. It's this middle-of-nowhere place with strange decor, barely looks like a sweets shop. But that was misleading.This is a cake shop that stands out above the rest because of how down to earth the staff is, how customer oriented they are (willing to deliver cakes just about anywhere, but practical about how important it is to eat a cake soon after making it), and how delicious the food is. My fiancé and I have been to several cake shops for our wedding and have very particular goals. Their staff is completely dedicated toward getting it right. I guarantee I'll be getting more cake there. Ask for a yellow cake, mixed berry filling, with pomegranate/raspberry/strawberry. Mmmmm!!

This was a Groupon find and we have been back many times since. The kids love the dessert pizzas that the owner whips up. I was leary at first but the crust on these is magical. They come in many flavors from peanut butter to strawberry. I have also tried many cupcakes, muffins and cookies ...all were delicious. The store is very cluttered, so I wouldn't stop by for a cup of coffee but I definitely recommend grabbing some sweets to go.

Thank you for your lovely, delicious cake you made for our wedding, and for all your help throughout the process! Everything looked absolutely perfect, and we owe it all to you. You guys are the best!Thanks again for everything,Zahra and Farid

We ordered a strawberry torte cake last week for my spouse's birthday. We were visiting from California and we needed to find a cake for the birthday party at the in-laws. I did some research and decided on Trifles. We ordered a couple days before the party. Last minute but we were only ordering an 8-inch cake. Trifles was more than happy to bake us the cake.The strawberry torte cake consists of White cake, strawberry cream mousse, strawberries, chantilly cream, strawberry filling, light whipped frosting. Topped with chocolate dipped strawberries.When we picked up the cake, the cake shop told us to get to a refrigerator as soon as possible or serve immediately. It was mid 80s with high humidity. Luckily, we only had to go to Commerce only 10 minutes away.I can say that the strawberry torte cake here is one of the best cakes that I have every had. The cake was light and not overly sweet. Just the right amount of sweetness but not overwhelm you. I saved the cake and many people at the party thought I made the slice too big. But because the cake was so delicious and light, everyone ate their cake! Because of the freshness and delicacy of the cake, I now understand why we needed to get the cake to refrigerator as soon as possible.I totally impressed the in-laws and my spouse's family! I looked like a genius getting the cake from here! Thank you Trifles!!!!

This is a hidden gem! We had the pleasure of meeting Gwen and tasting some of the best cupcakes, cookies, and danishes! We walked in to take a box of treats home for a gathering. Gwen was helpful in telling us the flavors, what's popular, and what she had in the back in case we wanted more of a certain type. We got the Carrot Cake, Black Forest, and Caramel Apple cupcakes. After cutting them into pieces to split, we loved them all! Full of flavor and just enough of everything. They weren't dry, they had a perfect amount of frosting, and tasted great. We also ordered the Apple, Raspberry, and Strawberry danishes. Those were tried the next day with coffee and were great too. The added touch of fresh fruit on top was a nice treat and made it easy to differentiate which flavor was which. They have a nice amount of fruit filling and crust surrounding it to avoid a mess while eating. She also threw in some apricot pocket cookies that were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall, we liked everything we got from here. Gwen mentioned that their specialty at the bakery were special orders. It's best to order in advance and pick up. While we enjoyed what we got, the selection does show its best to order ahead as there isn't a vast selection when you walk in. We will likely be back to special order our cakes and treats!

Ok, so I just discovered a hidden gem!!! I am not joking when I say that Trifles in West Bloomfield on Commerce Rd, which by the way is an amazing cake bakery, is serving up the best Pasties and Quiche I have ever had. Typically, a pastie is made with ground beef and root vegetables, inside of a pie crust. These are on a new level. Chef Gwen has literally recreated this timeless dish, she has combined the pastie with slow cooked pot roast, carrots, potatoes, onions, and rutabaga, wrapped it in the most delicate pie crust and tops it with homemade gravy. I was literally blown away!!! In addition she is serving up some killer quiche as well, flavors include Quiche Lorraine, Spinach and Feta, Crabmeat Quiche, and Broccoli and Cheddar to name a few. Don't waste any more time, go check out Trifles for all your bakery, pastie, and quiche needs!! Outstanding job Chef Gwen!

We ordered a 3 dozen cupcake Groupon for Trifles to give it a try. Got two of the chocolate/chocolate and one of the vanilla/strawberry. Both cakes were moist, and the frostings both have good flavor. Nice fresh strawberry on top.I also tried several of the other bakery items in the store - couldn't resist! They have a lot of different flavors of cupcakes. We tried the key lime (excellent), Bumpy cake (more moist & better taste than that other cupcake chain's), Oreo & red velvet. Also had a few of their danishes.Service was very friendly, there is a nice seating area there & they have coffee & drinks available. Chocolates & some local ice cream as well, will have to try that once we get into spring!

Hired Gwen for my wedding 09/09/2023 and she did such an amazing job! I didn't realize how special it is to create a wedding cake. This process ended up being one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process. She was very patient with me and husband and helped us create the perfect combination of flavors. Everyone loved our cake and there was none left! Gwen is a true master in this area and understands what it takes to create a delicious and beautiful cake. She was so fun to work with and answered all of our questions and was kind enough to let us borrow her cake platter/base. I asked my florist to set aside a few pieces for Gwen and she decorated the cake beautifully! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves :)

Unfortunately the physical location has shut down but Gwen still does direct order. We got our daughters 1st birthday cake last month. It was absolutely beautiful beyond delicious and Gwen truly is the best went above and beyond. I physically counted over 300 individual florets!
