Sweetened Memories Bakery

The cake they made for my son was amazing

Our family frequently gets treats from Sweetened Memories and we're always thrilled with them! A large selection of both shelf-ready and custom desserts. So glad to have them in Durham. Highly recommended.

Sweetened Memories Bakery makes cupcakes that look amazing and have a deep, indulgent flavor. The cake is soft and moist, and the frosting is creamy and smooth. They clearly put a lot of effort into making each cupcake special.
If you want a dessert that stands out and feels like a treat, these cupcakes are a great pick!

The best desserts! Their cake ordering process is easy, and there’s so many options to customize. I sent inspiration pics and got a beautiful cake matching the photos. I’ve also gotten cupcakes and other desserts here multiple times, their cosmic brownie is amazing!

Gluten free and vegan options in the case, both highly approved by my family. The vegan tequila lime cupcake was a big hit, and there’s been two gluten free cupcake options every time I’ve been in. Always my go to for cake orders and, with dairy free and gluten free people in the family, my stop for last minute desserts!

This place always has the best sweets and coffee!

Sweetened Memories made the desserts for our wedding. They were incredible -- our guests raved about everything. Multiple people reached out and specifically asked where we got the desserts because they were so delicious. My special favorites were the whoopie pies and the cake pops (which were adorably decorated). Thank you Sweetened Memories! If you are looking for wedding desserts, we recommend them so much!!

Edible Cookie Dough is amazing and I love the Cake Trifles!! Their frosting and cake is amazing!!!

Liz was absolutely wonderful during our cake tasting! She was so friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about her craft. We were blown away by the flavors and creativity of the samples. We can't wait to have Sweetened Memories create our wedding cake – we know it will be a masterpiece!

Ordered a birthday cake 6 inch $135 and it was the driest cake I ever had in my life. My son almost choked on it. We had to throw the whole thing away. I called to let the owner know in case it was just a mixup and she just laughed in my face and hung up. I will never ever go back. Beware

We were so delighted, thank you so much for an incredible job on both our small wedding cake and assorted cupcakes for our guests! They were a huge hit. Can’t recommend this wonderful company enough who went above and beyond and were so personal and professional from the very first meeting, (the tasting part is so much fun)! We highly recommend- thank you again!

Absolutely five stars for Sweetened Memories! We chose them for our wedding desserts, including cupcakes, whoopie pies, macarons, and a single-tier sweetheart cake, and everything was absolutely incredible. The cake was stunningly beautiful, but it tasted even better—every bite was perfection. Sweetened Memories was so easy to work with, and every flavor we tried was amazing. If you’re considering a dessert bar or cupcakes for any event, I can’t recommend them enough. They truly made our special day even sweeter!🤍✨

Sweetened Memories was the absolute best to work with for our wedding cake. From the cake tasting to the completed cake, everything was flawless and delicious.

We got a 3 tiered cake for the purpose of freezing the top tier for our 1 yr anniversary. We finished that tier before we could hit the 2 week mark - it’s that good!

They are not only incredibly talented but also friendly and communicative throughout the entire process, making it all so easy. The desserts were a huge hit with our guests, and we couldn’t have been happier.

Thank you, Liz, for making our day so sweet and memorable!

We ordered our vegan wedding and other desserts (regular and gf cupcakes, mini brownies and bars) from Sweetened Memories and we were so happy with them. They were accommodating and responsive to our many requests and questions. They even worked to make a vegan/gf carrot cake specifically because I asked. The cake and dessert table were set up perfectly too! Highly recommend, especially if you have specific dietary needs.
