    Inside of coconut cake
    Tish C.

    Imagine a birthday emergency 5 hours away from home. I call Melinda on a Wednesday afternoon, gave her a cake flavor, size and theme and she created a masterpiece. My daughter couldn't have been more surprised or happy when she tasted the moist deliciousness. The butter cream had the perfect amount of sweetness and was super silky smooth. If you're ever in the OBX I suggest you give a try. You won't be disappointed.

    Still looking for a good pie bakery. The cherry pie was very avg in flavor and crust. Bottom crust not cooked all the way. Disappointed.

    Unfortunately, we must leave a negative review. Claire's Cakes canceled on us 5 days before our…read morewedding. We hired Claire's Cakes in September 2025 to make our wedding desserts (6 dozen cupcakes and 3 cheesecakes). Everything seemed to be running smoothly until a few weeks before our wedding when her communication with us began to slow. We had arranged to pay extra to meet her on the Friday (11/28) before our Saturday (11/29) wedding to pick up our desserts. We confirmed this pick up date multiple times. On Friday, 11/21 (at 8:25 pm), she emails us: "I'm able to deliver on Wednesday 11/26/25 at whatever time is most convenient for you. As we get closer to the date, I'll provide an updated delivery window. I am currently out of town for the remainder of the weekend on business and will be back on Monday." So, despite multiple confirmations that the order was to be picked up on Friday, she now has the wrong pick up date. On Saturday, 11/22, we responded: "Enjoy your weekend (even if it is on business)! We had talked about delivery on Friday, November 28th (not Wednesday, 11/26). Let us know if that Friday still works -- we are at your disposal on that Friday (11/28) to meet to pick up the cupcakes/cheesecakes at whatever time is most convenient to you!" On Monday, 11/24 (at noon) -- the Monday before our Saturday wedding -- she writes us: "I wanted to reach out regarding your event. I've just been informed that a family member I am caring for has a scheduled surgery, and I will be unavailable for at least three days following Thanksgiving. Due to this family emergency, I am unable to work or dedicate the necessary time to create these items. Unfortunately, with the short notice and circumstances, I will not be able to accommodate your desserts for Friday." We find it a little odd that, between late Friday night and by noon on Monday (the day she returned from a business trip), a family member she is taking care of would suddenly have surgery scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving (or even the week of Thanksgiving). Given that she tried to change the pick up date to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, was out of town on business until Monday, and then, at noon Monday, used a family member to avoid providing deserts the Friday after Thanksgiving (which was the agreed-upon date), it seems the most logical thing is this .... When she made the commitment to make the desserts, she did not realize it was Thanksgiving week and that she would be making our desserts on Thanksgiving for the Friday delivery. And, when she realized the promised Friday was the day after Thanksgiving, she used an excuse that garnered the most sympathy/understanding (family member surgery). We hate to sound uncaring about her situation or that a family member needed surgery, but it just seems like a made up excuse. If it is not, our prayers to her family member. If she had at least given us some advance notice that she was taking care of a family member or had circumstances that may interfere with her ability to make the desserts for our wedding, we could have made a contingency plan. For example, our caterer could have made the deserts with a little more notice. As it is, we had to scramble -- my daughter made 3 dozen cupcakes the night before the wedding and we ordered plain Harris Teeter sheet cakes for the rest. Perhaps the professional thing for Ms. Claire to have done was to call someone she knows who could have fulfilled the order or at least made the effort to find someone to cover for her. OR... if she had said she would need to change the delivery to Wednesday because of the situation, maybe we would have been okay with that (presumably the desserts would have still been okay on Saturday?), but she did not -- she just canceled.

    I am so disappointed in the cupcakes that were done for my wedding…read more My friend was going to make the cup cakes and decorate them, however her father passed away and she was unable to do. We had to rush to find a place to make cupcakes and we found icings on the cake. It was two weeks prior to my wedding and I was worried I wouldn't find a place. I was so thrilled that icings on the cake said they could do the 4 dozen cupcakes and when asked if they could do sunflowers I was told yes. Especially seeing the cupcakes on the website icingsonthecakes.com (picture 3). What I got was so dissapointing. (Picture 1) which looks does not look like a professional did Thankfully I had friends who went out and fixed (picture 2). After spending over $200 dollars on cupcakes they should not have been fixed. I emailed the owner and did not receive a response back in 24 hours.

Would definitely buy this cake again! The perfect amount of chocolate in my opinion, and I loved the mousse filling. The birthday girl ate 4 servings in 24 hours she liked it so much. It really was a pretty cake I wish I took better pictures to share.

    **5-Star Google Review:**…read more I absolutely love this cupcake shop! They offer a *huge* variety of different cupcake flavors, and every one I've tried has been delicious and beautifully crafted. They also have actual cakes and cookies, so there's something for every sweet tooth. The staff is super friendly and always welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is really inviting, and a cool bonus is the little green wall perfect for selfies--such a fun feature! They even have seasonal flavors that keep things exciting. Definitely a must-visit for any dessert lover!

    This must be what Heaven tastes like... sweet to me!! Nothing but pure bliss…read more Well back in February 2020, I had the opportunity to try this baker out for myself. If you recall a few months prior, I only had a slice of cake and fell in love. This time around, I ordered a sheet cake and some cupcakes for the kiddos. Everyone was thoroughly pleased! I only kept raving about this baker for months... the day came for all to taste and see what the hype was about! I ordered a strawberry lemonade flavor for the children and a strawberry champagne for the adults. This cake was super rich, I could only eat one good sized slice. But I made sure I had more for later. I think the cake lasted a good week and every day I had a slice and it kept tasting better and better. Now if you want to treat yourself, check her out! Her customer service is on point as well. I placed an order online and receive word via email about someone contacting me about my order. It may have been an hour that went by before I noticed an email in my inbox from the bakery. My daughter kept changing her mind on what type of party(ies) she wanted. As a result, I at least reached out to the bakery via email three times before my order was final and the flavoring and design was set. Each time the contact person, I believe it was the owner, she was super professional and continued to work with me and my different arrangements until everything was final. I understand she has tens maybe hundreds of orders each month, but she was focused on getting my order right and making sure I was satisfied. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend you give this baker a try. Make sure you check her office hours online, but I'm thinking someone is always monitoring the email. At this time with all the turmoil going on in the world, I believe she is offering delivery of baked goods. I noticed she's offering a KETO style cookie too. I think I am going to try those. real soon. Her masterpieces and gifted hands are worth every cent. Support local, Buy local! Have fun and enjoy life :)
