Polkadots Cupcake Factory

I wanted something special for my partner’s 40th birthday. She’s a baker herself and very particular. Two different people independently recommended Polka Dots. I placed the order along with some inspo images. Polka Dots absolutely nailed it. Not only did it look amazing, it tasted even better. Everyone was polite and accommodating. Definitely coming back for the kiddos bday in spring.

A dear friend had a bummer of a day, so I looked up "cookies and cream cupcakes" to send him from across the country. They looked beautiful on the website, they look beautiful in the in-person pic he sent, and he reports that they're delicious! Olga was really kind and friendly as well, working with me well after business hours to ensure he would receive them today. Thank you so much, hope to visit soon and try the red velvet ones myself. :)

I asked for a quote for a bday cake and this business just denied me one. They asked for my budget and I sent them up to $180. They just refused to do business with me. Big red flag when you won’t even negotiate/work with potential clients. Do better.

She made the prettiest cake for my birthday and I got so many compliments for it!!

Totally worth the drive and price! Perfect cupcakes. We got the tiramisu, cinnamon sugar, and cookie dough. No photo because we tore into them too quickly but they looked cute too.

We recently used Polkadots for our wedding cake and we loved how it turned out. It was delicious and also decorated really well. Our guests also loved the cake. The tasting process was really easy and it was so hard to choose our flavor because everything was good. We highly recommend Polkadots if you're considering them for an event.

Pretty average cupcakes. They use the same vanilla cupcake for every type of cupcake. The frosting doesn't have much flavor. I'd avoid ordering from this place.

I have mixed emotions. I ordered a cake and the ordering process was fairly simple and a breeze. She was very friendly and accommodating. The cake looked exactly how I imagined. However, I should’ve heeded the reviews that said the taste was horrible. The pink icing was borderline rancid but I figure that is due to the color I chose. The cake itself was extremely bland, which was perfect for my 1 year old I guess, but everyone else- we like sugar. I prefer that my cake be sweet and moist and that is not what I got. For almost $200? I feel like it was extremely overpriced for the value,

I saw a recent review indicating that the cake this person ordered looked beautiful but tasted dreadful... I actually had the opposite experience. I ordered three cakes from Polkadots - two for our rehearsal dinner and one for our wedding reception. I have Celiac as do a couple of my family members, so I requested that the cakes be gluten-free. The cakes tasted absolutely wonderful but looked terrible to the point that I was embarrassed to serve them and asked that they not be photographed. I ordered two letter cakes and one semi-naked cake. One letter is meant to be a C and the other a P. She didn't even curve the C! It looked as if I asked young children to make my cakes. Considering each cake only served 30 people, I expected more from a $1K purchase.

Wow! Just stopped in to Polkadots Cupcake Factory. Their cupcakes are deliciously moist and perfect sweet. They are locally owned and you can tell they bake with love. You must check them out!

Polkadots & Olga were recommended to us by our planner Jen at Pearl Events and we could not have been happier with the custom cake she created for our wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and equally as delicious. The only small flag is that we did have to cut the cake much earlier in the evening due to tiers starting to lean and cave in but it is now a memory we laugh about months after the wedding.

Not real buttercream frosting.
