Since I was going on vacation the next day to Puerto Rico she decorated the cupcaked with little fondant flip flops and fun colorful cocktail umbrellas. The cupcakes were DELICIOUS. Moist (I hate that word, but that's all I could use to describe it perfectly) and the frosting was perfect. Not too heavy. Whipped just right! I drool on my keyboard everytime she posts new cupcakes/cookies/drunken berries on her FaceBook page. I will definitely be using her for all of my cupcake needs in the future. Very professional, friendly, reasonably priced and reliable!

They made the cookies, macaroons, both cakes that were served and mini pumpkin pies that were given as gifts for the guests. They also opened to enable us to buy goodies and I fell in love with the brown butter bourbon cookies!! They were 3 for $5 and I would have bought the 3 bags that were in the case, but a woman in front of me bought 2 bags so I was left with one. They have mini pies for $5 and while it was hard to decide (assorted cheesecakes, key lime pie, sweet potato pie, etc.); I bought a mini peach cobbler for hubby. They are the perfect serving size and he loved it! Both of the cakes they had at the shower (a chocolate and a yellow rainbow) were moist and delicious; the only downside is that we live so far away! But if we're ever in this area we will remember Park's Pastries for sure.

I wanted to like it. I really did. Local, minority owned, female owned. But sadly it's not good…read more I've tried several items on 3 different visits hoping for better but it wasn't...tasteless macarons and not the right texture, cupcakes priced like a downtown bakery but unfilled and small and dry and grainy, vegan pastries that left a poor taste in the mouth and also grainy. I believe they're moving to a new spot which will help the ambiance hopefully as the old spot was just too big. The owner is polite but the other staff was hit or miss. I really do hope they get it worked out. It's a great idea, but execution hasn't been good.

The cakes & cupcakes have such an amazing & UNIQUE flavor that can't be found anywhere else. In my time I've tried many many different types of cakes & pastries from other establishments both big & small. Yet, NOTHING compares to the cakes & pastries prepared by this super talented woman.  It's 200% worth it to order. This womans product deserves to be placed in a museum or on a pedestal to be shown to millions. I'll be contacting Melanated sweets for any of my birthdays or events.

The owner approaches her creative process with enthusiasm and excitement. She asked very thorough questions because she wanted to make sure we received exactly what we ordered. She alerted us in enough time when there was a delay with the cake being ready. The cake was a yellow cake with pink buttercream frosting and chocolate ganache drizzle. My daughter was so happy with the finished product. Would I order again? YES! Go ahead and place an order with Melanated Sweets. You won't be disappointed.

That was a nice feature they had. After I got home, I tried it out. The first bite was okay. It seemed dry to me. After the second bite, I was bored. It lacked flavor. I wasn't impressed. The service was decent. I didn't have an issue with it. Overall, I had an alright experience here. I wouldn't be in a rush to go again. Date of visit: 08/13/25

Now that I live outside of Chicago proper, I no longer have access to some of the specialty markets and grocery stores I used to frequent. Meijer tends to meet my needs when it comes to grocery, home products, casual clothing, personal care products, and gardening. Two things that stand out the most was their gardening products. I had started gardening, so seeds, plant food, gardening soil, and other gardening items were reasonably priced. Being a pescatarian, there vegetables worked for me. But now that I grow my own, the gardening catalog worked perfectly for me. As to grocery, although there has been spike in grocery prices, they were not as high as I noted at other grocery stores. It helps that I take advantage of coupons, specials, and price reductions thanks to participating in their perks program. This store serves four immediate suburbs, so it tends to get busy on weekends, for sure. I go during the middle of the day when I work from home through the week. I have yet to go and not find what I needed. And because I am a very picky shopper, primarily from the perimeter of the grocery store, I have not been disappointed in what they have.

She spent way too much time laughing and joking with him to care that she had a line of customers forming. He kept asking for more individually packed toppings 1 at time. She had already packed up his ice cream and she kept walking from the cash register to the topping station. She didn't wear gloves and she kept sniffling (no mask either). Not appealing when buying ice cream.
