Dove
Aly W.

This cute shop is big and spacious relative to a lot of other bakeries. In addition to cupcakes, brownies, and other treats, they also sell specialty ravioli, spaghetti sauce, and flavored vinegars, I'm assuming from local companies. I picked up a brookie cake - brownie in the bottom, cookie on the top for Father's Day. It looks great, and if the cupcake I had is any indication, it will taste great, too. A couple of cupcakes caught my eye. The blackbird is a chocolate caramel cupcake I have to try next time. Today I tried the dove, a vanilla caramel cupcake I have to have again some time. It was the perfect flavor and texture. Not too sweet, fluffy yet moist with a hint of buttery goodness. If they have a plain butter cake, I'd love to try that, too, because I think they may nail a flavor I haven't been satisfied with since I was a kid. Excellent service.

Blackbird Sweets and The Pasta Peddler are together. During COVID-19, they are offering free delivery of their products. In early April, I took part in this. The ordering process online was easy. The confirmation told me my order would be delivered on a Saturday between 11am and 8pm. I ordered the cookies sampler, and the sugar cookie bar. The cookie sampler contained three cookies; chocolate chip, peanut butter, and funfetti. They were all delicious. The sugar cookie bar was out of this world. I highly recommend this bakery. Check out their Instagram too.

Cupcakes in stock - grab and go!

Great bakery, plus so convenient to just swing in and get some assorted cupcakes! (Ex. I needed 6 for that same day, so I just could go in and choose whatever flavors I wanted. They had 8 flavors.) Really delicious!

Blackbird gorging on cupcakes in the dead of night...

Cupcakes singing in the dead of night. What to get: Mini Cupcakes Why: Because they're cupcakes I came here to buy some baked goodies for a few special women in my life, such as a female Yelper that keeps asking me to take her to a piano bar, and her awesome cute roomie, and also my BFF. And of course anyone else that likes cupcakes too. I did manage to snag one of the chocolate cupcakes for myself, and I was really amazed at how delicious and fluffy and gooey and tasty it is. These people know what they're doing! But then, they'd better, considering the prices of these things. They're not cheap, and they're not very big, but they're so good that I have no qualms about giving them 5 stars. And how did I find out about this place? A little Blackbirdie told me.

Buffalo Bills bagel
Kathy M.

This morning for breakfast I had a Buffalo Bills bagel stuffed with cream cheese and chives from Blackbird Sweets. My daughter brought it to me the night before and I placed it in the fridge for morning. I sliced it open and was surprised at the generous amount of filling. Then put it in the air fryer for about 5 minutes. When done it reminded me of NYC bagels. Just perfectly crisp yet so soft inside, not tough. I am anxious to go to this bakery to see what else I will find.

I went several weeks ago to get a cupcake (the Blackbird), which was delicious. The staff was friendly and the store inviting. I went back recently to pick up a cake I ordered over the phone. It absolutely exceeded my expectations and my girlfriend (whose birthday it was) adored it! The red velvet cake was delicious, moist, with good balance of cake to icing, and importantly, The decorations were unusual and crazy fun! That said, prices also seemed quite reasonable. Whether ordering a cake for an occasion or grabbing a snack, this is now my go to. Highly recommended

We are so lucky to have this little cake shop in North Buffalo, right in the midst of busy Hertel, a click away from home. I love the mini cupcake boxes for sale because it gives you the opportunity to taste four different kinds of cupcakes. I have tried pretty much all the cupcakes here and none have disappointed. Today we decided to go a different route and try a chocolate cake parfait and a birthday cake parfait (it was a buy one get one free deal with a total cost of $5). So so yummy. Less sweeter than a cupcake since the icing is replaced with a creamy custard and that created a perfect balance with the sweet, moist cake. Definitely satisfied our sweet tooth and cake cravings.

I decided to try cupcakes here for a little birthday celebration. I was pleasantly surprised! Great, innovative flavors that are well executed. We tried lemon mixed berry, pumpkin pie, blackbird (chocolate cake, cream cheese frosting, caramel drizzle), caramel apple pie, caramel macchiato and buckeye (see photo). Buckeye was my favorite with caramel apple pie as a close second. The frostings are a bit sweet but still delicious.

Our cake.

See all

The BEST cupcakes I ever had, I always end up with a 6 pack because it's impossible to choose with all the different kinds!

Bakery is nothing to look at, but the cupcakes were beautiful, in a beautiful clear bubble pack that was solid. Almost a work of art. The flavors were all well received.

A giant cupcake painted on the wall adds even more drama to the whole picture. I agree, I'm not the one who should judge the taste of cupcakes, but what I tried was very good. The texture of Cookies and Cream was moist with a firm beautifully swirled frosting made of vanilla buttercream. The Butterfinger was even better. The best thing about my experience was that it didn't feel like eating pure sugar. All ingredients were nicely balanced and truly satisfying. We visited on Saturday very early afternoon. I knew the best way to have what is most desirable is pre ordering. From the eight kinds of cupcakes offered this day, we were able to have just two. Everything else was already sold out. Babycakes Cupcakery offers more than just regular cupcakes. I saw photos of beautifully decorated mini cakes and jumbo cupcakes. I would definitely treat someone I like with their luscious creations. I enjoyed it fully on my special day.

The Hello Dollies were absolutely delicious those were a definite highlight. Unfortunately, the cupcakes weren't what I was hoping for. I can't pinpoint exactly what was missing, but the flavors just didn't stand out to me the way I expected. I did try to ask a few questions about wedding tastings while I was there, but the worker helping me didn't seem very enthusiastic or willing to offer much guidance. Since this is such an important part of planning my wedding, that part of the experience felt a bit disappointing. Overall, while I was really rooting for this to be "the place" especially since it's a big and popular bakery I don't feel confident moving forward with them for my wedding desserts. I truly wanted to love everything, but the tasting just didn't click for me.

This place is dangerous, and by that I mean big back playground. One thing that vexes my spirit is…read morea sweet treat that wasn't worth the caloric intake. Ohlson's is worth it! From the mini cakes, custom cakes, and cupcakes, you can NOT go wrong. My go to is the killer chocolate cupcake. The ambiance is a cross between your grandma's living room and a neighborhood cafe. There's breads, coffees, specialty drinks, cakes, cookies, pastries, and to go cakes. The service ranges from stellar to ok. On average, pretty good. I've never been disappointed with my treats and I'm a bit of a bake good snob as I'm a home baker myself. I live no where near here and don't mind a drive here for a great treat to self indulge or to share. Check them out!

I am in love with Sassi Cakes' cupcakes! This was my second time catching her at the Plaza lunch…read moreconcerts and both times I enjoyed an amazing cupcake. The first time I had a peanut butter cup cupcake which was absolutely amazing- so much peanut butter and chocolatey flavor! The second time I had a cheesecake cupcake- which was even better! So much thought went into the cheesecake cupcake, the very bottom was a firm cheesecake crust, the body was a fluffy and moist cupcake, the frosting tasted like a flavorful cream cheese frosting,topped with a dab of jelly and sprinkled with cake crumbles... to die for!!! I tried to save it for dessert but absolutely couldn't resist! Can't wait to enjoy her more of her tasty creations!!!

Sassi Cakes....was it sassi? No actually, the employee working was friendly which was disappointing…read moresince I was expecting at least a little bit of sass, but I can get over that. I stopped at this food truck on food truck Tuesday in Larkin Square this week while looking for some dessert to follow up the other food truck I stopped at (3 total, I'm a disgusting monster). The line was pretty long (I guess other people also wanted cupcakes?) and well worth the wait. I want to give them 1 star for running out of the big cookie dough cupcake, but they get 5 starts for replacing that with 3 little cookie dough cupcakes to make up for it. The prices here are normal for what you are getting and the cupcakes themselves were pretty darn delicious. I highly recommend stopping at this truck for a treat if you see it!
