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.

Also got the salted caramel which was also amazing. I would definitely come back to try their other flavors as well as other menus since they have a huge array of icecream sandwich, floats, sundaes, etc. they have a decent size parking lot with a lot of people coming and going. They have decent seating area making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the weather. Service was fast and great but only gave us 2 samples. Overall, a great experience and met some really people.

We ordered, they served us our "flight" in a tiny foam container, and that was it. In my opinion, this was very underwhelming. The presentation was 1/5, the price was a 2/5, and we liked 3 of the 5 flavors. Maybe it would've been better if we could choose our flavors. The coffee and the London fog flavors were phenomenal enough to carry this entire review. I would consider going back for specific flavors, especially the espresso one.

BOOZY CUPCAKES. Sounded interesting to me! Pop-up at the Broadway Market, box of 6 for $28. Iirc,…read morethey are $5/ each. They had six flavors: sangria - fruity, wine; honey whiskey - topped with a Biscoff; piña colada - not pictured because I skipped that one; mojito - lime and rum; black forest - chocolate cupcake with boozy cherry; peanut butter whiskey - also a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Presentation and toppings were all really lovely and looked delicious. Super creative concept all around. Most of the cupcakes were yellow or white cake, the rum, whiskey, and wine were noticeable but not strong. So you knew they were there, but not overwhelmed. Some people might actually want them to be stronger! The flavors in general were subtle but clear. The frostings were all pretty light and pleasant, which is nice. I know there's a lot of people who really like dense buttercream and cream cheese frostings and for whom cupcakes are a frosting delivery vehicle. These are not those. Plenty of rich and delicious frosting for the cupcake but not too much. The cupcakes are not following the super sized trend; they're a nice cupcake sized cupcake. This makes it easy to rationalize eating two at a time because, um, you wanted to compare flavors. Yep, that's totally why. I liked all the flavors I tried, but was surprised that my favorite was the chocolate peanut butter and my second favorite was the mojito. Only comments would be there's some variability as to the moistness or dryness of the cake part, and the filled ones could use more filling. The people at the pop-up (I forgot to ask if they were the bakers/ owners) are really nice and happy to answer any questions or customize an order. As you can tell by my substituting an extra black forest for the piña colada. They'll be back at the Broadway Market for Dyngus Day!

Great for parties, events, or gifts! Available pick up or delivery, to bring to your event or have…read morethem cater.

We discovered Cuccidati Inc. at last weekend's fresh-air Valentine's Day Market at Buffalo Artisan…read moreFood Traders. Cuccidati Inc. had a booth at the event ... and they had me at the word "cuccidati". :-D LOVE these cookies! If you are unfamiliar, cuccidati are iced-and-sprinkled fig-filled Italian cookies. They're like a soft, delectable, gourmet, top-shelf, high-class, prettier Fig Newton, but way better, haha. Whenever I see an Italian cookie spread at a gathering, I always b-line for dibbs on the cuccidati. And Cuccidati Inc.'s cuccidati did not disappoint! These were a bit different from cuccidati I've had before. They weren't quite as sweet, not as thick-white of an icing as usual. And the filling seemed more natural, like more purely fig, as opposed to the more artificial extract flavor of some cuccidati. I do like the creamier cuccidati filling I'm used to, with more of a jam consistency. But these were good too, you could feel chewy bits of real fig fruit in each bite. If you prefer a cookie that isn't too rattle-your-teeth-sweet, you will probably enjoy Cuccidati Inc.'s cookies very much. We spoke with the owners when we were at the fresh-air market, and they were very sweet and friendly. They of course bake their namesake, but also bake many other cookies too. They don't have their own storefront, they sell by order, or at local venues and events. They are on the shelves at Buffalo Artisan Food Traders (https://www.yelp.com/biz/buffalo-artisan-food-traders-buffalo), so if you have a hankering for some delicious cuccidati, stop by there to grab a pack. Or check Cuccidati Inc.'s Facebook page for other upcoming local appearances - https://www.facebook.com/cuccidati.org - and mangia! :-D
