We thought we'd try Little Cakes Kitchen, so we ordered the half-dozen box of assorted cupcakes. They were delivered through DoorDash. We knew we were not able to pick our flavors by ordering this way, but figured Little Cakes would send a representative sample, which I assume they did. I'm not sure which flavors were in our box because they weren't labeled. I wanted to know what we were eating, but I had to dig through many past reviews to identify most of them. The 6 flavors received in the 1/2-dozen box were: * Vanilla * Chocolate * Almond Champagne * German Chocolate * Something Marshmallow-Topped * Something Chocolate--Topped with Thin Vanilla Icing and Vanilla Buttercream All the cupcakes were of average size and were decorated nicely enough. Albeit the cake part on all the cakes were a bit dry. It was difficult to discern a specific flavor on a few, so I've come to the conclusion that garnishing must be their gift. Most of the 'vanilla' flavors, were indistinguishable in flavor from one another, except for the Almond Champagne, which had a cloying almond paste filling, and too much filling to cake ratio. Of particular concern was that the frosting on all seemed to be off in ratios of butter to shortening. I suspect there was an over abundance of shortening in all the cupcakes, which to me, is not palatable, nor is it delicious or anything resembling what a good cupcake should be. They miss the mark in my opinion. Due to the high prices and the fact that the frosting on all the cupcakes was cloying and poorly prepared with what I suspect was too much shortening, and not enough icing sugar, I would likely not buy cupcakes from Little Cakes Kitchen again.

I gave them my theme and examples of what I'd like to include in the design and they were in point! And the high quality ingredients were absolutely amazing! The taste of the cakes and petit desserts were phenomenal and freshly made. My guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious the desserts were. And what I loved was it wasn't excessively sweet but exactly the right combinations. They also have last minute already made cakes and desserts but also decorated a cake for me in one day!!! That's unheard of! For wedding and more elaborate cakes they need several weeks notice but their cakes are worth the wait!!! They truly are works of art that taste unbelievable!!! My favorite, if I have to pick one, is the chocolate cake, chocolate ganache filling with a white buttercream. The icing is so light and airy almost like a whipping cream icing. My guest were fighting over the last piece! Definitely will get a larger cake next time! This woman-owned business is no joke! These artist and master pastry chefs do it all! You might say their confections are perfection!!!

So far I have only tried the lemon. I love all things lemon! This was beyond exceptional and indescribable and delicious. I don't have enough adjectives to describe how delicious this cupcake was and it was light and fluffy (my experience with prior vegan cupcakes is not great)! The candied lemon on top was so yummy ! Highly recommended cupcakes and skills! Plus the owner is such a sweetheart!

Everything was on time, beautifully packaged, and completely stress-free on our end.

Entering: Never greeted let alone not acknowledged until it became barely. As someone who has worked all types of jobs, going as far back as when I was a teen myself - this is important. The two youngest ladies, at the register, were deep in their gossip that I doubt they noticed we walked in; only customers. I tried to get their attention but to no avail until I walked over and stood in front on them where their conversation had to be cut short. One of the young girls look a smidgen annoyed while the other was trying to rush to get my order. Quality of goods: I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, to share later with my girls and orders sometime raspberry for my teen son that he could enjoy later on break. The cookie was huge, yes, but nothing that beats the moist and chewy cookies I make myself at home, which I can't currently do since my kitchen is beinf remodeled. I asked my son on his bougie donut, later in the day, and he did the so-so hand and gave it an ok and dry. At end: we will stick to SK for service and quality.
