    waffle bowl with fondant over krispie treats to look like ice cream scoops - Four scoops of ice cream in a waffle bowl are decorated with multicolored sprinkles and topped with white icing. The ice cream flavors include purple, red, and other colors. The waffle bowl is light brown, and the background shows a pink drink and other items on a white surface.

    What a fun night!! Went for a cake decorating class and my cake turned out beautiful! They were good at providing and showing instructions of what to do. The design looked complex initially but amazingly enough it really wasn't that difficult. I will definitely go again! They provide the cake and all of the supplies. You get a choice of funfetti, chocolate, vanilla or marble cake. You can bring you're own snacks and beverages. It was a great girls night out! The Cakery is located right on Center St. and that time of day , 5:30, there was plenty of parking!

    Prepping the chocolate shatter pieces - Four sections of chocolate shatter pieces are arranged on a baking sheet, each labeled with flavor names such as 'Alyssa,' 'Mango,' 'Krisma,' and 'Jami.' The pieces are coated with dark chocolate and topped with various colorful sprinkles and small candy beads. A hand is seen adding sprinkles to one of the sections. The surface appears to be a preparation area for decorating custom chocolates.

    I love to come here for the Cake night classes. At this time you can book a large party ( 10 people perhaps ?) and pay $50 per person for the materials and their instructions. We usually BYOB and brings a few snacks to enjoy while we decorate our cakes. They pre-cook the cylindrical cakes and you tell them ahead of time which flavor you want: funetti, vanilla, red velvet and chocolate are some of the options. They teach about frosting the 'crumb layer, how to bag your buttercream frosting in the plastic piping bags. How to smooth the frosting lines to make it sort of ombre in appearance. Depending on the cake you sign up for they show you how to make simple fondant characters. I'm probably not using the correct terminology but you get the idea. The work tables could be a little larger so you have more room to work and snack but that's really my only suggestion.

    Alcohol Infused Cupcakes

    Best place in the New Haven area for custom cakes and cupcakes by far! Ordered these running themed alcohol infused cupcakes for a birthday and Alyssa knocked it out of the park!

    Cupcakes!

    The BEST cupcakes! I've had their cakes in the past at birthdays but I finally got around to trying their cupcake! We ordered a dozen cupcakes, as we really could not decide on which ones to get! Some of the ones we got (pictured: Top (L-R): Lemon, Chocolate, Chocolate with Vanilla Frosting, Key Lime Pie Second Row: Reese's, Caramel Macchiato, Creamsicle, Grasshopper Bottom: Carrot Cake, (a chocolate one I can't remember the name of), Chocolate Truffle, Almond Joy) I can't wait to go back and get more!

    Wedding rehearsal cake

    Absolutely loved my cake for my rehearsal dinner! Red velvet vintage style heart cake was a hit! Super easy to order through email with inspo pictures. Alyssa knew exactly what I wanted and knocked it out of the park!

    Cute little bakery shop in prime area in Wallingford. Walking distance to alot of shops in the area . They have the cutest mini cupcakes in many different flavors from original to apple spice (filled inside too) and larger ones like Pumpkin Truffle,S'mores,Apple cider and Sweet & Salty with a chip and pretzel ontop. The make cakes to order here and a few of my friends said they were great . They sell coffee and drinks too. I noticed they have Keto mini cheesecakes and Fat Bombs in flavors if you are on that diet . Stroll by and take a look at the flavors they have and grab some treats for the family today ! Update later on in the day ... I had eaten my Apple cider donut cupcake and it was pure bliss. Perfectly cooked and the buttercream delicious. The cider in the pipette was a good touch . Loved it !

    Mini cupcake still life

    Tim and I spontaneously visited this bakery after seeing a group selling some items on the sidewalk for a Wallingford street event. I'm glad we went inside! They do some awesome mini cupcakes. The Mississippi mudpie and grasshopper were our favorites. The Samoa was ok, though it was mainly because of the 1/4 cookie on the top; the flavor didn't resonate otherwise. Still, creative execution! Together, 4 mini cupcakes were just over $4 including tax. Inside is very frilly and on the girlier side of bakeries. Nothing wrong with that! They do some awesome things with sprinkles!

    My cake at winter ladies night, I was super happy to share this on Christmas with family!
    Kate C.

    I've been to Alyssas for two different events, one she hosted for my Girl Scout troop, where every girl decorated a cake in their flavor, with a great lesson on using & dying fondant for decoration, the next was a ladies night that the store periodically hosts near holidays (reservations for these fill fast so jump on it if you see it on FB or Insta) the ladies night was super fun, drinks (byob) beautiful cakes for Christmas a wonderful evening.

    Camo baby boots cake

    Wow! Amazing! Just some of the words to describe the cake we bought for my daughter's baby shower. Met with a staff member to place the order and sent pic of what I wanted. It was better than I imagined. Price was comparable to other places but their customer service at those bakeries was less than acceptable Thank you Alyssa's Cakery for a great job!

    This door is usually closed but they are open!

    I really like Alyssa's Cakery (and I'm a big cake snob). I've only had their mini cupcakes so far but they have been consistently good. There is always a wide variety to choose from - obviously this depends on the time of day as there are fewer choices closer to closing time. It's a cute little place located in the center of town. There are a couple of tables - I believe they serve coffee too but I've never eaten in. They also sell a couple of other knick knacks (e.g. mugs). Each time I've been there, the staff have always been friendly and helpful. Just placed a large order over the phone and they were really nice and super helpful (I mention this because some places are terrible when you call to place orders). They do regular cakes in addition to the cupcakes and I've heard rave reviews about those - for taste and decoration. Love this place and I'll be back :-)

    Custom Bday Cake - The cake is a round, blue fondant-covered birthday cake decorated with black fondant leaves arranged in a laurel wreath pattern. The top of the cake displays a black-and-white edible image of a martial arts figure in a dynamic pose. The cake sits on a silver cake board with the message "HAPPY BIRTHDAY WU" spelled out in black fondant letters around the base.

    I ordered a cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it not only was perfect and a huge hit, but the cake was absolutely delicious and everyone loved it! I'm very happy I found this bakery in my town and I highly recommend trying the for your next occasion.

    A cake with two tiers, decorated with a hot air balloon made of fondant, featuring a striped canopy and a basket with animal figures including a bear, a giraffe, and a horse. The cake is adorned with fondant clouds and a light blue sky theme, placed on a silver cake board. The background includes a white brick wall and party decorations.

    I have been lacking on writing this review when it is truly deserved . I had a cake made for a baby shower and let me tell you , it was great .

    The cake for my daughter's birthday was not only beautiful but was also so delicious! We got the funfetti cake with the chocolate filling on one tier and the canolli filling for the other tier! People are still talking about how delicious the cake was!

    I highly recommend don't waste anymore time looking elsewhere Alyssa's will not disappoint

The coffee was disgusting and not even hot--I had to send it back, and they still brought me a completely different drink than what I originally ordered. There were barely any customers, yet I waited over 15 minutes just for coffee and even longer for the food. The staff seemed uncoordinated and overwhelmed despite how slow it was. For $45, this experience was absolutely not worth it. Save your money and go elsewhere.

The inside is actually two businesses, on the left is the cafe and on the right is a boutique. The inside is so lovely and inviting, the space is well lit and bright with flowers hanging off the windows and off the chandeliers. Each table had a fresh little bunch of flowers. There was a talented young man on a guitar, entertaining the guests. Their menu features an assortment of coffee drinks and tea. For food they have, brunch, breakfast and dessert options. On this occasion we just got coffees. I got the Reese's Mocha. Others got hot chocolate. This mocha was pricey at over $8.00. When I made my order I told the barista I wanted it for "here". It took around 20 minutes for the coffee to be ready. I was let down that it arrived in a generic to go cup. This place is so elegant and it ruins the vibe a bit that they don't offer ceramic cups. The Reese's Mocha tasted just like biting into a Reese's Cup. It smelled like peanut butter and chocolate and tasted just like it too. This is a cup of cozy! I would love to get avocado toast next time.

    #40 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more This is an Asian-owned, female-owned bakery and coffee shop with delicious Asian-inspired pastries and fun drinks! We came on a Sunday around 10:30am and they were almost out of some of their pastries. Definitely go there earlier. But that just shows how fresh everything is! Firstly, all of the pastries looked delicious! It was so hard to just pick one so we needed up picking 3. Cheesy hotdog bread, kbbq short rib bread, and a cranberry cream cheese pastry. They were all SOOO GOOD! The bread is so soft and the flavors were delicious. They have lots of fun seasonal drinks, caffeinated and non-caffeinated. They also have boba! I got an ube banana latte and my friend got their seasonal Coquito latte which was recommended. Both were delicious (and very strong). The service was immaculate. I didn't catch the cashier's name but she was younger with brown hair. The sweetest person ever! Definitely made the experience more enjoyable. The owner, Chan also gifted us a piece of delicious oreo cake for fun! It was so yummy and not too sweet. I cannot recommend this place enough!
