I bought a cake & 16 cupcakes for my gender reveal. I got a lemon cake with raspberry filling and the cupcakes were assorted. The cake was beautiful however it tasted awful. The butter cream tasted and texture was like eating straight butter and there was almost no raspberry filling. Everyone was throwing it out after a bite or 2 and i was so embarrassed. I spent almost $200 just to throw it all away. Never again!

We had a gender reveal cake made for us in one day and we are beyond satisfied! The design matched my inquiry perfectly, and the cake was so delicious and moist. We were on a time crunch and Shar was more than happy to accommodate. We are so grateful. We highly recommend!

Don’t eat here, food quality is very poor and tasteless. The customer service was very good but the food it self was really bad. The pie was dry and tasteless, and the cake was just a huge piece of

Yesterday I went to this place for the first time thinking it was going to be something special, I bought a cheesecake and it was honestly horrible. I prefer to continue buying cheesecake at Walmart or Publix.

Just tried to eat a carrot cupcake my wife brought home. I quickly realized, like many many others who have left reviews, the "frosting" portion of the cupcake resembled tasteless butter balls. The texture was of pure solid butter. I really tried to taste something in it, but couldn't. The texture was very off-putting as well, definitely not what someone would expect when eating a dessert. The carrot cake itself was ok, nothing amazing. I began reading reviews to see if any others have experienced this, to see if this may be an isolated occurrence. The majority of the negative reviews were in reference to exactly this PROBLEM. The frosting. The "buttercream" is NOT buttercream. From reading many of the reviews explaining this same buttercream issue, and the owner's responses to each being that she cannot please everyones' pallet. She further states that she does not use "American" buttercream which is full of sugar. Well, Shar...what kind of buttercream do you use? Stop blaming people's "pallets" for the buttercream issue. I eat everything from kimchi to octopus, I eat lots of butter everyday on my morning toast and when I cook eggs. It's not our pallet that is the problem it's your unwillingness to receive feedback and use it to change the problem that has been voiced by many. Or at least begin offering a traditional buttercream option that people like. When it comes to owning and operating a successful business, you focus on what the customer wants, not what you want. Your store name is Sweet Cravings by Shar. But, you keep replying that American buttercream is full of sugar and is not used? Sweet = sugar. If I am going to waste calories on a dessert I want it to be worth the calories. I would really love to see you welcome all the feedback regarding the "buttercream" issue and at least make an attempt to adjust and create an option that people will enjoy. I would gladly update my review if this ever happens.

Today I went in and purchased cupcakes and a chocolate chip cookie for my birthday as a treat for my family. The moment that I came home and took the paper off the cupcake I had this feeling that these cupcakes were about to be dry, but I didn’t know that the icing on them was going to taste like nothing but a clay-like bland texture with no flavor. I immediately took a small crumb bite and threw the rest of it in the garbage. Not reading the reviews first cost me $28, never again. I did not give this review a one star only because the lady that was helping me was nice. My hope is that the reviews would encourage the owner to make changes so that their customer base would grow.

What an amazing bakery/cafe to satisfy all things sweet. They have an extensive menu ranging from macaroons, cheesecakes, cupcakes, muffins, and a plethora of other goodies. We even got lucky and came in on a weekend where they serve freshly made beignets, which is what we ordered, along with a cheesecake. They also have excellent coffee to compliment the sweet treats.The ambience is very cozy and comfortable and the staff warm and friendly.See you next time Sweet Cravings! =)
