I have been to this bakery many times and have had mixed opinions on their cupcakes. In the past I have been in on various occasions to get a cupcake or another treat they offer (I've had the blondie bars and a comfort cup). Their cupcakes are dry and have a lot of frosting. I can get behind a lot cream cheese frosting, but a lot of their cakes come with buttercream. To me buttercream is not good when done well and is even worse when when it's not done well. Sugarcubed's buttercream has a slightly grainy texture, which I do not enjoy. Despite these issues, I thought they may perform better with custom cakes and unfortunately I was wrong. No only did the cake come out differently than I had asked for, the customer service experience I received seemed inappropriate to my situation. I do not think they were rude, they have never been rude, but their ordering process for custom cakes is not customer friendly. My custom cake was a wedding cake. I chose this bakery because it does have high ratings despite my own experiences and I reviewed images of the wedding cakes they have done and they were nice. We also had a very fast turn around time from my order to the wedding so they seemed like a good fit. So I started the process. I tried calling but you can only do custom cake orders on their website. We started with ordering a tasting kit. We only ordered white cupcakes, so when we stopped by to pick those up we got a chocolate and red velvet cupcake so we had more variety to try. In the past we have tried the chocolate and red velvet and they seemed dry. This time they were also dry. Surprisingly, the white cakes were moist. I do not know if this is because of when they were baked or if white cake is usually more moist than chocolate cake, but we decided on a white cake with marionberry and substituted the buttercream for cream cheese. When I called to ask if they could substitute the frosting base, I was told that we could. I moved forward with the process and filled out the online custom cake order. At this point I was still thinking I would get a consultation either on the phone or in person to discuss the details, but everything was communicated via email. This made it hard because they have limited business hours via email (less hours than the bakery is open), which meant we were communicating over weeks what could've been communicated in one conversation; if anything else came up then phone/email would seem appropriate. We had several emails discussing the theme and what I wanted the cake to look like, flavor, etc. I even drew up exactly what I wanted so that there would be no misunderstanding. I wanted a grey naked cake (I would have went with black but I didn't want it to taste like food coloring and I didn't want it to be a fondant cake either) which turned out blueish or greenish depending how the light hit it. The tombstone I wanted was a 2D slab of fondant made to look 3D. I drew it 3D because that's how I wanted it and there was no communication from them to clarify. I did not draw a cake border in my picture, but I told them I wanted one. They did not ask what kind of piping I wanted, they just did what they wanted. I opted for fake flowers that my grandma used to decorate the cake after we picked it up because I did not want to eat buttercream or fondant flowers. Despite it being a naked cake there was still a lot of buttercream on the outside of the cake (they did this because they can't do a naked cake in cream cheese frosting because it is too soft and I agreed to it), so buttercream flowers would have been way too much for me. I felt their process for custom cake orders does not match the involvement that a custom cake needs between the client and the baker. In addition to this, there were a lot of rules surrounding purchasing the cake and securing your day and time. If the order is not $500 they will not deliver and you have to pay in full in order to secure your day/time. I thought this was odd because a lot of custom work involves a security deposit and paying in full at a later date, usually the date of service. They were willing to work with me on this when I asked, but I ended up paying the fee in full in the end. My cake was a two tier wedding cake with "simple design" and cost $360. I wanted to like this bakery because it's so close to my house but it just wasn't meant to be.

I always stop by this dessert place when I am out in Gresham. I really enjoy their cupcakes! They have a regular flavor menu and a monthly flavor menu. I had to get the Grasshopper - chocolate & mint - for this month. I loved the mint cake with the chocolate ganache in the middle. They make cakes, cookies and assorted bars as well. I also enjoy their sugar cookies; really soft and the frosting isn't too sweet. If you need a beverage, they serve coffee, tea and Italian sodas. The employees are always friendly. It is a cute shop with yummy treats!

I wish I could find the photos from this spot, but I can't.They are wonderful! I've got two custom cakes from them, as well as stopped by a few times when I was a student at Mt Hood. I could never leave without buying snacks for me and to share.It's a small shop, very clean, beautiful display. They take orders online or on the phone/in person so lots of options. The staff is always so friendly and helpful too!I really enjoy this spot and try to make a trip out there every few months as a treat! I would definitely recommend them for their custom cakes and cupcakes!

This bakery decorates the cutest cakes! I have gotten 2 cakes from here now and both have been super adorable and just what I am looking for visually. I will say however both of them were extremely sweet and the cake itself is a bit dry and very dense. I continue to come back here because I appreciate their style and the cakes are very aesthetically pleasing but as for flavor they are not the best at. The shop itself is very cute and the employees are always extremely nice and very helpful!

Sometimes you need a little tasty, sweet, crispy treat.Looking at their bakery case it was hard to make a decision. Cupcakes, bars, cookies and more. I knew I was leaving with just one treat so I had to choose carefully. It was between a monster cookie and the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I chose the monster. With the subtle flavors of peanut butter and then m & ms on top, it was a great choice! ( let's beg for the recipe )The employee barista was super helpful with my iced mocha. I like a combination of dark chocolate and white chocolate, really good!Come on over to downtown Gresham to Sugar Cubed. I know you'll find some great treats or a fancy cake for you, your family or that special occasion that's coming up.

Another home run for Sugar Cubed Cakes!We wanted a fun cake to help tell our extended family we were pregnant in March 2023. and as Sugar Cubed made our wedding cake (see previous review by me) we thought there was no more perfect a place to go to than Sugar Cubed. And they nailed it! I went in with some inspirational photos and the owner and I wandered through them. She was super excited to try out the geo bear as it wasn't something she'd done before. The delicious grasshopper filling and adorable design pleased everyone including us! Thanks for continuing to help us with some of the biggest moments in our life thus far and making them delectable!

So disappointed, Usually this place is so delicious but I must have hit them on a bad day. Cupcakes were soooo dry. There was no way they were fresh. Even the frosting tasted stale and was so gritty. I'm at a loss for words because this is usually my go to spot. Spending $48 on cupcakes you expect them to be fresh and delicious. We ended up throwing them away.
