Amazing best cake and cupcakes I ever had! Buttercream was awesome!

How can I praise the gals at the Short Giraffe enough? They were amazing and just wonderful people! We went for our tasting and tried a dozen different things it felt like which all tasted great. Everything was made from scratch and tasted great and the price was not expensive I was shocked! We had a hard time picking flavors but we ended up going with carrot cake and chocolate peanut butter for the cake with a dozen strawberry lemon cupcakes and a dozen white chocolate lime cupcakes. We wanted a naked cake for our wedding because we are not huge icing fans and some cake places shy away from that we found but they accommodated us nicely. We also wanted to add a very personal touch to our cake with our toppers and decoration. I was able to leave silk flowers on stems and wire cutters and they managed to put them on the cake beautifully,better than I could have imagined. They were also super excited to see our cake toppers a T-Rex and a Pegasus we had decorated with a top hat and veil. People had been skeptical about our cake topper choice but when they saw them on the cake loved them. I had been worried about how things would be placed on the cake when the decorating was happening the morning of but I had nothing to fear they did a spectacular job and I was so happy I had decided to place the cake in the center of the room to show it off because it was something to see (and eat!). We were thrilled to see that they had posted about our cake as well after the wedding it really made us feel special. They were amazing to work with and I am so happy we chose them.

The cake and confections are delicious once you actually have them in your possession. Of the 6 large orders my family and work associates have placed in the last 2 years, 2 were prepared incorrectly and 1 was not made at all... which made our special work occasion much less special. Great cake, but poor organizational skills and calendar management... Your Giraffe can definitely fit under the bar on performance

I LOVED the service they provided to me when I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday. They were so flexible as far as taking ideas for the theme I had for my daughter's birthday. The cake and cupcakes were a total hit! the kids and adults could not get enough of it. I always look forward to ordering more cakes from them because I can't get enough of it :)

I went to The Short Giraffe looking to buy a cake for a birthday party, but ended up getting a dozen of the most delicious cupcakes I've ever had-- and they were a smash hit for the party! They were reasonably priced, and the owner herself waited on me. Everything was handmade and picture-perfect! If you're looking for delicious desserts, or possibly the best (and coolest!) cup of coffee in town, don't waste any more time reading this; get in your car and drive straight to State street!
