"Ok, so Ernesto saved the day!!! Our sons 21 bday is today and we wanted a fancy / fun themed cake for him to devour during the Super Bowl. We didn't want to get him just a plain sheet cake even though he wouldn't have cared. It was 7pm 1/28/18, I browsed Yelp, saw his work & messaged him with some pics of cake ideas. He messaged me back within no time, we took care of the design, cost and he even delivered it in person today. The cake looks exactly like the picture and my son is cool as a cucumber but he was like okay... lol. It's perfect. Lol..I just wanted to take a few pics before he cut into it. Well I managed to get a few pics and the cake tastes as great as I looks!! He is such a nice guy and my husband and I will be telling everyone to use their services."

Cakes U Crave

★★★★☆ 4 (36) • $$

"Selecting Cakes U Crave to provide our wedding cake was perhaps the easiest decisions we made for our wedding day. Not only did the cake samples taste AMAZING, Candis was a joy to work with and her prices were extremely reasonable. She helped us design a custom groom's cake to celebrate my husband's love of his alma mater. The cakes were there on time and exceeded our expectations. In fact, our cake was so good we couldn't wait an entire year to eat the top - we ate half of it the day after the wedding and then made ourselves freeze two pieces for next year. If we ever need another cake for a celebration, there's no doubt who we will contact."

Glitter Quake Cupcakes

★★★★★ 4.5 (14)

"So... I should have pictures, but what happened was, these cupcakes were so cute. Then while trying to pass them out, I happened to slip my finger in the icing and just had to it. Needless to say, my guests and I devoured them before pics could be taken. This is a cute shop with tasty treats. Pack your patience while trying to find the exact location, but once you arrive it's worth the drive."

Wanna's Cakes

"Delicious. The carrot cake cupcakes were delicious. The icing was the best icing I've had. Everyone raved about how moist and fresh the cupcakes tasted. The decoration was perfect. Very happy. I'd love to get more in the future. Not to mention she delivered on a Sunday! That was amazing and so convenient. Very fast communication and great prices."

Shakkar Cravings

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Rida makes the best desserts!!! I've ordered twice from her for a couple of parties that I hosted and I can't wait for the next time I can use these desserts. All of the cake cups are made with so much care. My favorite flavor is the Ras malai cake cups! Her cakes are so rich and moist which makes them so addicting. I highly recommend Shakkar Cravings for any dessert needs!"

Cupcake and a Smile

★★★★★ 4.7 (38) • $

"2 words : freakin yummy. I was heading to pick up lunch next door at pier 36 and was craving cupcakes. I pulled up to the shopping Ctr and looked up and LO and behold I parked in front of this little cupcake shop. It was fate. I picked up a pancake bacon cupcake, coconut walnut cupcake, a cc cookies cupcake ($3 each) and a cowgirl (nuts with coconut) cookie $1.99. A dozen cupcakes is $30. Ate the big cookie on the way home. Perfection. Not too sweet and crispy outside chewy inside. The cupcakes were kinda small but were so very very tasty. Sweet but flavorful. The other flavors were the classic strawberry, chocolate, wedding cake, red velvet but I like to try unique flavors. I'd def be back!"

Tipsy Pastry

"These cupcakes are just too much fun. The owner was nice enough to do a mini cupcake custom order for a party I was going to. Each came with a tiny pipette of flavor matched liquor and were beautifully presented. My husband, who was on-call and couldn't drink, just gave me his alcohol and scarfed the cupcakes solo. Delivery was early and the whole ordering process was very smooth. Thanks so much for a fun party treat and delicious dessert. Highly recommend! :)"

Red Berries Bakeshop

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I am impressed with this Red Berries Bakeshop's new location. It moved from Parks at Sugar Creek strip mall to Murphy Road and SW Freeway. The interior is much bigger than previous location. There are lots of seating area and bigger cake displays with more deli choices. I was shopping at Sugar Park Plaza across street and noticed the sign, nice and big. Red Berries Bakeshop is smacked between Cici's Pizza and Xfinity Store. I can't resist of coming in. Wow. The friendly employees greeted me as I walked in. That was how I remember Red Berries Bakeshop. I have been to its sister store Hot Breads Bakers on Hillcroft Street. Yeah. I like this one better.As I was contemplating with what to eat for lunch, a helpful customer suggested to try their panini. So, I ordered Masala Aloo Panini. While waiting, I also bought 2 boxes of cookies because of the buy one gets one for 50% off holiday offer. My sweet tooth was not ended yet. I also ordered a cake shot - cake and topping in a shot glass. I used to remember all the pastries taste and ingredients. I know my favorite is the eggless Pista Cookies. One of the boxes of cookies was assorted. I don't know their names, but I know few of them has Indian spices. Mmm... So Yummy.It took about 10 minutes for Panini to arrive. I could never imagine having a meatless panini with spicy potatoes before. The cheese and spicy sauce just melt in my mouth with the toasty bun. Anyway, to finish it off, I ate that cake shot. Ha! What a square meal.If you are in the area, make sure to stop by. Oh, I can't recommend any particular dish because I will tell you to order everything."

Cupcakes & Bubbles

★★★★☆ 3.8 (67)

"The name says it all! Oh my goodness! How precious! We got champagne flights! Hector explained each to us. We had a dry flight, a sweet fight, plus a mixed. Very nice! How fun! We also tried several cupcakes. The mini eggs was a delicious chocolate. Everyone loved the strawberry rhubarb and we got a special umbrella with it! The chocolate was amazing with chocolate inside too! Of course we had to try the champagne ones - amazing! You inject the champagne into the cupcake! Great atmosphere with darling tables and high back benches. Highly recommend this darling place!"

Sugar Rush Too

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (47) • $

"Came across this place after reading an article about great black restaurant/places to visit & decided to give it a try. I was slightly hesitant about going due to some of the recent negative reviews, but we gave it a shot anyway.My son and I are the dessert heads, so we got a few things to try such as the sugar cookies, the banana pudding cupcake, and the turtle brownie. I must add that by the time we got there (after 2pm) they were out of quite a few of the other things we wanted to order such as peach cobbler, oatmeal raisin cookies, and one of the cheesecakes. However, the banana pudding cupcake was DEEELICIOUS! Hate I didn't buy more. It was moist, flavorful and not overwhelmingly sweet- perfect balance. My son immediately began eating his cookies, in which he said he liked. To me, they tasted more like tea cakes, but as long as he was happy. The turtle brownie...err not so much. I was hoping for that ooey gooey brownie that's crunchy on the sides but warm in the center, toppled off with a nice "balance" of chocolate, caramel & pecans - to no avail. This was suuuuper sweet and like overload on the chocolate topping. I had to scraped off quite a bit of the chocolate frosting to get more of the brownie & mix in the pecans because it was so heavily layered on there. Plus, no evidence of the caramel traditionally found in "turtle" flavored desserts. Needless to say I had to eat this in phases, and I only got to two before disposing the rest - it was a bit too rich for me.But, I shall return & give them another shot for more banana pudding cupcakes or other cupcake flavors, and hopefully they'll have some of the other items I missed.Chao!"

"Moist goodness galore! The hubs found this spot and brought home a pound cake slice and butter cake w/buttercream icing for us to try. One word: LOVEBoth cake flavors are phenomenal, portions are perfect, and the moisture is on point. Not too dense, not crumbly, just spot on! Ms. Myrtle knows exactly what she's doing, and my sweet tooth approves!"

Pretty Baked

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (10)

"Expensive decorative cakes that are not moist. I was really excited to try these cakes but the cake was dry. It was beautifully decorated so I give them props for that but taste was not up to par. The mini cake was $50 plus $20 for shipping. There are other places a lot closer to me that make better cakes. I don't mind dishing out more $$ but for that much, I am expecting everything to be fresh!"

Sweetland Cakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (17)

"I had the best experience with Tandis at Sweetland Cakery. I ordered a cake to feed 500 for a grand opening event that I was planning. She helped me to design a custom 3D cake that wow'd the entire 1,000 guests plus the President and owner. Not only was it absolutely breathtaking, but also very tasty. The cake was moist, rich in taste and extremely detailed. Tandis is a perfectionist and it shows in her work. She was timely, and under promised but over delivered with the quality. The picture does it no justice. The cake was a showstopper. She even suprised me with adding a rotating feature to the vehicle at the top. It spun 360 degrees the entire event. Tandis was very pleasant to work with. She made my vision, reality. Tandis is by far one of the best in the industry. Can't wait until my next event!"

Celebrity Cupcakes

★★★★☆ 3.9 (285) • $$

"A hidden gem inside Rice Village. I decided to come to Celebrity again cause it was super close by and one of my coworkers was celebrating a birthday. Thought a dozen mini cupcakes would be a nice surprise for everyone! I came on a random weekday morning and there was no one here - the display cases were full of large normal size cupcakes; with racks of fresh cupcakes behind the counter (both full sized and minis)! When you order, they grab from the trays instead of the display to ensure you get some of the freshest ones! I told the lady to select a variety of a dozen minis for me and I purchased 2 large cupcakes and a rice crispy treat for myself! Yum!! That rice crispy treat was exactly what I wanted! I tried one of the mini cupcakes and the chocolate was moist and the frosting soft! Very flavorful and delicious! The carrot cake cupcake was delicious - lots of nuts, not too sweet, and super moist! I didn't eat the raspberry lemon one until a day later and it stayed fresh, in the box in room temp, and was delicious the next day! I enjoyed these way more than the Crave cupcakes cause I think they're way more moist and a lot more flavorful! The coworkers agreed and enjoyed these a lot better than Crave and Sprinkles as well! Love this place - the only place to buy cupcakes for your special occasion!"

Uz’s Donuts

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"I stopped here yesterday and today. Friendly staff, good selection. Lots of drink options and donuts, kolaches, croissants, even some fresh fruit available. It is a really small space though. It's nestled in the strip center with the gas station and a few other businesses. I tried a spicy boudin kolache and spicy sausage and cheese kolache. Neither one was very spicy but they were good. I prefer a lighter dough for the bread but it was still good. And they had a nice filling to bread ratio."

The Gluteny Bakery

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"What a fantastic gluten free bakery! My fiancé and I just had our wedding cake tasting and everything was very professional. To top it off, the cakes were moist and bursting with flavor! I am thrilled to have Jeanne make and design our wedding cake.UPDATE: Sadly, on the day of my wedding, my cake topper was never placed on my cake. While the cake turned out great, I am sad that my custom made topper wasn't there. In addition, when my topper was mailed back to me, it was broken!!!! They did provide $ for the inconvenience, but never mentioned it being broken."

Wedding Cakes by Tammy Allen

★★★★☆ 4 (46) • $$

"Miss Tammy was absolutely amazing. She was hospitable from the beginning. My sister, which is the bride to be, and mother enjoyed it all. We came for a cake tasting for my sister's wedding and she pulled out all the varieties. The sampling consisted of different types of cake, different types of fillings, and the Icing that will be around the cake. When I tell you everything tasted so good? I mean everything tasted so good! It was even hard to make a decision. But you have so many different choices as to how you want to pair your cake with the filling. I will have to say that butter butter pecan was amazing, our absolute favorite ! That is a filling that she provides; and then the cakes were so perfectly moist... I'm not even a cake person and I was so impressed! If you know my review, I have a problem with sometimes taking pictures of the product prior to eating it. It was so delicious. I couldn't even take any pictures, I wish I did. Lol!Her shop was very nice, and clean. She had a variety of wedding designs, as well as her accolades everywhere. She was very professional and not to mention very personable. She was so educated on what she does and aims to please. You can tell that she takes her craft serious. I mean, she said she's been in the business for over 30 years, and it showed!We truly enjoyed our visit, and cannot wait to see the finished results in a few months. Thank you again Miss Tammy for working and being patient with us today! If you're looking for someone to make your special day so special with a cake or cake, she is the go to person! Look no further!"

From the decorations, the service and of course their tasty cupcakes! The shop is quite cheerful and just gets you in a good mood, every time we come here we are greeted so nicely. Always so clean and colorful, perfect to enjoy a cupcake!The hard part of this place though, is picking from all the cupcakes they have. Red Velvet is my daughter's all time favorite, mines is Carrot cake however the strawberry one is also another good choice. It is always nice top stop by and enjoy a delicious treat here!"

Treat!

"Eddie, thank you for liking one of my pics. That reminded me I needed to do a review. I am really shocked that I haven't done a review on this place yet. The cupcakes here are exceptionally good.I have had a German chocolate and a few others. These are a great alternative for clients friends families birthdays etc. Everything is pretty fresh and taste really good. Since Eddie like my pic that reminded me about them. I kind of forgot about them unfortunately. I'm not sure why. May because the parking in vintage is kind of tough.Well anyway I went back today and I got the German chocolate Cupcake and it was simply amazing. I would like to go back and try the Oreo and the Italian cream cupcake.I like to support local businesses so if you're in the area do yourself a favor and treat yourself don't cheat yourself."

Hummingbird Bakery

"I heard about this bakery from a party planner that said it was one of the best she's ever tasted. I drove over an hour to try the cupcakes and cookies and was not disappointed! The cupcakes were fresh, flavorful and fluffy moist. The cookies were so delicious and beautiffully decorated I decided to order a few dozen for my baby's birthday. I've used them for two years and people always ask who made the amazing cookies and I'm happy to recommend them!"

V’s Cake

"I love V's cake. She makes beautiful and delicious cakes. Her prices are very reasonable also. She caters to big and small parties as needed. The pictures on her page show how skilled and intricate her work is. She not only creates amazing looking cakes, her work also extends to macaroons, rice crispy, cupcakes, cake pops, and many more. As long as it has fondant, chocolate, or any type of sweets, she'll be able to make it for you! I love the fact that she's able to create sweets for different occasions and holidays and make them look GRAND-FABULOUS!! I've bought her cakes, cupcakes, and macaroons for different events and everyone loved her products! I usually have her create excruciatingly cute products for my events."

"Longtime pastry and dessert lover here, and I wouldn't take the time to write this review if "Heavenly Desserts" weren't indeed, "heavenly". Oh my goodness. We had the Pumpkin (Mousse?) Cheesecake and the tiny chocolate brownie/cakes that has like a chocolate kiss in the middle and on top baked in a tiny cupcake paper. Again, fab-ul-LOUS.

"How I love Liz let me count the ways!!!I was looking for an amazing baker for my daughters 4th birthday party. I wanted cupcakes and a cake but also something unique. I called many places who came up on Yelp first as well as went to Crave first to check them out. I was not impressed with either and kept searching and that's when I came across Zeapod cakery.I called them and was greeted by Liz and she was so nice as well as immediately assured me she could meet my needs. I saw a pic of the cupcake pops and I knew I had to have them.I asked her for a tasting and she let me know they meaning herself and her husband bake out of their home and they don't have tastings, but I could come by and grab a couple flavors of the cake pops for I believe $3.00 each. I headed straight to her house and met the lovely couple.They welcomed me into their home/bakery which you can smell sweet cakes being made with love before you even enter the establishment. She showed me a cake that they just finished and it was amazing. And then I tasted the cakes, Oh my goodness beyond moist, fresh, and real homemade taste not like most beautiful cakes that taste like crap.I placed my order for 2 dozen cake pops in Vanilla/birthday cake and Strawberry. I also ordered a small cake to go with her Jungle book theme which the flavor was Salted caramel for the adults. What I appreciated she didn't charge me for the two pops that I came to taste since I placed my order that day, what service!We chatted for awhile, I paid and then I was on my way..I ordered custom printed stickers to be put on my daughters cake pops and Liz let me drop them off to her and she added them to each one. I picked up my order right on time and was blown away by their craftsmanship. Their products start with being made and baked with pure love and then decorated with such artistry. The prices are beyond reasonable for the quality you get. I paid a little over $150.00 for everything and it was worth every penny.Do not go anywhere else support this beautiful marriage and amazing business!"

Cakes by Gina

★★★★☆ 4.4 (127) • $$$

"I got my wedding cake done from Gina's and honestly I'm so happy. My cake is the main thing I cared about and not only was it the most delicious cake ever, it was absolutely beautiful. Going to a cake testing at Gina's is a dream. They treat you like royalty. You go in, and check off the flavors you want to try, and they bring you huge slices of each flavor. They bring creams and fillings as well so you can get the whole experience. I have never tasted such delicious cake in my life. Their chocolate turtle is the best flavor ever!!!! Now I know where I would get cakes made for special occasions- it's well worth the price, service is great, and you will be soooo satisfied! The process of ordering was a breeze, and their customer service is impeccable"

"These treats are absolutely fantastic. They are. I had the marshmallow treats with cookie covering and they are gooey and tasty to the touch. They are plentiful too. Best of all, they are super addictive! It's hard to restrain myself from taking more than two. They are just that good.These folks operate from home but have a great selection on their website. It's unusual, but it creates that unique experience for your special occasion, regardless of what it is.Thank you Farozan for creating such confectionary goodness. Best of luck with your business and I wish you resounding success."
