MOLLY'S CUPCAKES REVIEWS

My wife and I are so happy with our decision to go with Molly's Cupcakes for our wedding cake! We had three separate tiers, with different frosting between each layer. Our cake testing made it extremely easy to pick our favorite flavors and we loved the ability to mix and match cake types and frostings to make the perfect cake for us! Delivery was seamless and the cake looked incredible. Not to mention, DELICIOUS, and very competitively priced! Overall, we highly recommend Molly's Cupcakes for your wedding!

Words cannot express how much I love Molly's Cupcakes!! I had them cater my wedding and literally everything came out perfect! The communication with staff over the cake designs we wonderful and everyone was seriously so kind. We had a variety of cupcakes and a two tier cake. Everything was delicious and our guests couldn't stop raving about them even weeks after the wedding! Thank you so much for helping to make our special day even more perfect than I could have imagined! :)

What a carnival of fun, luscious flavors!!!!!!! Now this is someone who knows how to make cupcakes...fresh, light, moist, tender cakes filled with mouthwatering flavors exploding on your taste buds. Topped with creamy, silky, smooth toppings with awesome, decorative, edible designs. Ordered a 12 cupcake variety of what was in the case and each one was better than the other. Bravo!!!!!!!

BROWN SUGAR BAKERY REVIEWS

One of my best friends brought different kinds of cheesecake to my family gathering. The three I tasted were moist, sweet decadent, and most delicious. So much so that I decided that at my next gathering I would do what she did, buy a variety so that my guests would have a choice to enjoy different and original kinds of cheesecake. My best friend also said that the service was awesome and friendly. She felt welcomed and appreciated and as a another customer. She eluded that the atmosphere was beautiful, warm, and friendly along with the service. Thank you and from my virtual experience, I appreciate your establishment myself. Will become a customer myself, and soon!

I get the German chocolate cake from The perfect Jerk and I’ve never had a better kind than this one! The best I ever had so dang on moist, I purchased this from the restaurant and I let my mom taste it she begged me for it. I gave in she said you must really love me to let me have your slice it looks so good as well I’m gone buy a whole cake!

My first time walking into this bakery it was a great experience. The women were so friendly & helpful . The cake not only was beautiful but it was moistened and delicious . I would recommend 10/10 . My new favorite bakery . I’m in love with. Thank you so much ladies . My mom absolutely loved it.

SWEET MANDY B'S BAKERY REVIEWS

Yummy, yummy, in the tummy!!! I purchased a 6 pack of assorted cupcakes. Cupcakes were proportionate of cake to frosting. Flavors were robust and wonderful. The banana covered with chocolate frosting was the bomb. The Almond Joy cupcake knocked the candybar out of the running. The carrot cake was packed with raisins and the cream cheese frosting was perfect. The cupcakes were moist and fresh...the frostings were flavorful and smooth none of that filmy residue you get from other bakeries. The only downside was the cupcakes themselves were a little smaller than standard and the pricing was very, very high ...otherwise a wonderful, flavor filled treat!

Wow! Super impressed with Sweet Mandy B’s. I planned a party from out of town for a friend and decided last minute to get a cake. Sweet Mandy B’s was able to get it done even with a weeks lead time, and they really delivered. I sent photos of what I wanted and they managed to replicate it so well! The price was very reasonable for such a well decorated cake. Flavor wise the cake was good, but the star was the yellow cake cupcakes. Moist delicious truly incredible. They also delivered everything which made it easy. Overall would absolutely order from them again for a party.

These brownies are..... painfully good. Like, I literally don't know how they are so good!!! The cookie one is especially top notch, I highly recommend - and remarkably affordable too, at around $5/brownie! One is enough for probably 3-4 people, because they're so delectably rich.
