“Thank you so much for the stunning graduation cake! Your artistry and attention to detail made it more than just dessert—it was a true centerpiece of the celebration. Everyone was amazed by how beautiful and delicious it was. You made our milestone even sweeter!“

“I'm from out of town and ordered a cake in advance of coming to the area for a conference. I asked for a sophisticated birthday cake for a high-up person in the group attending the conference. I regret not getting a picture, but it was lovely! White buttercream frosting with classic black piping and gold dragees. So beautiful, and it was also v. yummy.

Also, I ate an amazing cookie here for my breakfast while the finishing touches were going on the cake. Mmm.

Finally - so easy to order over the phone and the people who helped me out were very friendly. Thank you!“

“I have had a design for my future wedding cake picked out for YEARS. This weekend, I finally saw my vision come to life. Ro created the most beautiful cake I have ever laid eyes on. It tasted delicious, she was accommodating with communication, and even helped with a request to add an extra layer. I cannot recommend Ro Cake Studio enough. Thank you so much for making our day that much better!“

“The best desert I ever had if y’all see her cheesecake stand trailer y’all betta bust a youturn!!! OMG“

“Delicious! I got a lemon pound cake for my family’s Thanksgiving dinner and it barely made it to Friday! I highly recommend Favor Desserts and will be back for my Christmas dessert!“

“This was my first time using Happily Deserted for my cake order. Shrimi was so thoughtful that she agreed to make a Rasmalai cake for my Birthday on short notice. The cake was delicious and my family loved it!! I can tell she worked very hard on this cake seeing the details, she has some talent! Thank you Shrimi!!“

“DELICIOUS 😋 I had the Red Velvet.! #yestheyremoist“

“I feel bad that it has taken me so long to review this place, as it has been a staple of Saturday mornings for my family for years. Their quality is very good, prices even better, and selection is just amazing. My only gripe would be that they don't always have this bread with cream cheese and pickled jalapenos every time I go (because, trust me, I want it Every Single Time). For those who prefer their baked goods slightly less sweet, they also have this cornmeal round with sesame seeds on top that is perfect. I could go on about all my favorites, but you should just go and try a bunch of things and find your own!“

“I have had the privilege of meeting Barb. When she started this journey, I was beyond proud and admired her. It seems to me that her love is written into every single recipe. I would 1 million percent try anything on her grocery list at this point.“

“I am gluten free and my husband had planned ahead and knew that Smallcakes did GF cupcakes. When we went to order on Door Dash it wasn't an option but we called and the sweet girl working was SO helpful. Excellent custom service! She made getting my birthday cupcake possible! :) She walked us through our options, instructed us to order and then call and she would make sure to do the right ones GF. There's an up-charge for the gluten free, like everywhere else, but she was able to just take the difference for us over the phone. Cupcakes were so delicious! Thank you cupcake girl! We'll be back!“
