    We got cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday party last year and they were a hit, so we knew we would be in good hands for her birthday party today. Let me tell you, they exceeded our expectations for these cupcakes. They are SO CUTE!!! And the flavors were delicious. We got Red Velvet, Cookies and Cream (gluten free), and Strawberry. Amazing work! (One of the boxes shifted in transit (our fault totally) so they look a little messier than how we got them).

    My mom got me a vintage heart cake from them for my birthday, and it was PERFECT! We loved the work they put into making it, and the owner was so professional and patient with us when we made a scheduling error. They were able to get the cake done in time for us and it was exactly what we wanted and tasted so good! 10/10 for the whole experience!
