First tried the cupcakes, then was hooked and knew I needed a cake from Smallcakes for my next special occasion. What’s more special than a half birthday? Nothing! Christian was so sweet and accommodating and made the coolest “half” cake for my celebration! So pleased with the service and of course the cake THE CAKE it’s sooo good. Can’t wait to order my next one. Thank you!

We ordered one dozen vanilla ASU cupcakes and were initially disappointed to receive a mix of 6 vanilla and 6 chocolate instead. That said, the chocolate cupcakes were just as delicious, and we ended up enjoying both flavors. However, given the price, we would have preferred to receive exactly what we ordered.

I went to this bakery to order my granddaughter 2nd birthday cake.The owner was there we talked about what I wanted. He had a picture of what I wanted. It was a Elmo and Cookie Monster theme. He even said he was going to put real chocolate chip cookies on the cake. I paid him in full which was an outrageous amount for what I got. I would text him and he would take forever to text back. So communication is horrible. Went to pick up the cake and was so disappointed. Not the cake we had discussed. Plastic cookies, no real cookies!!No a clean cake and so many empty spaces.Name wasn’t even on the cake, it was on the cardboard where the cake seats on. Taste of the cake was ok only if you left it out for over an hour. Won’t be returning here that’s for sure . I should have stayed in Scottsdale. This cake cost me over $300 and not worth more than $50!!! Very sad I’m surprised he’s still in business and his cupcakes are small too. Not worth the price either.
