Customer Review - Baked From Scratch When I say baked from…read morescratch, I mean every single bite tasted as if it came straight from the heart of a baker who is truly married to her craft. The Red Velvet Cupcakes, the Buttercream Birthday Cake, and the Cookies‑n‑Cream Cookies are just a glimpse into the magic this baker creates ‍. But let me start with her, because the baker herself is why her desserts taste the way they do. A Baker Worth Knowing and Worth Supporting From the moment I met her, I was struck by her kindness, her intelligence, and her professionalism. She carries herself with a calm confidence that makes you trust her work instantly. Her personality alone made me want to order more, and that's before I even tasted the desserts. She shared that she has been baking since a very young age, and you can feel that experience in every recipe. She doesn't just bake; she perfects. She studies flavor, moisture, texture, and balance like a scientist in a lab. She told me she aims to make sure every bite reaches perfection, and honestly... she delivers. This is the type of baker who doesn't rush, doesn't cut corners, and doesn't settle. She pours intention into every swirl of icing, every cookie dough fold, every layer of cake. That level of passion is rare, and it shows. Presentation That Stops You in Your Tracks At the event, her dessert table looked like a luxury editorial spread. Elegant. Clean. Artistic. The kind of presentation that makes you pull out your phone before you even pick up a fork. Red Velvet Cupcakes Wrapped in luxury oval‑cut wrappers, adorned with gold pearls, and topped with buttercream swirled icing, these cupcakes were moist, rich, and visually stunning. They tasted like velvet and luxury had a baby. Buttercream Birthday Cake A two‑layer masterpiece, moist to perfection, decorated like it was made for a QUEEN. Tailored to the event theme, it was regal, elegant, and unforgettable. Cookies‑n‑Cream Cookies Chunky Oreo pieces embedded in soft dough, paired with chocolate chips and chocolate chunks, all made from scratch. Warm, gooey, and addictive. The kind of cookie that makes you close your eyes and savor the moment. Why YOU Should Try Her Baked Goods Because she is the kind of baker who: Cares deeply about her customers. Perfects every recipe with intention. Creates luxury‑level presentation. Delivers prompt, professional service. Bakes from scratch, no shortcuts, ever Puts her heart into her craft. Her desserts don't just taste good; they feel personal. They feel crafted. They feel like something made by someone who truly loves what she does. I am genuinely looking forward to doing business with her again soon. If you want baked goods that are luxurious, delicious, and created with passion, she is the baker you need in your life. The best news was that she ships her goods. I am excited about trying a variety of goods.

What a find! I wanted a cake for a birthday that wasn't your traditional cake and ordered a Lemon…read morePound Cake from MJ's. My order was confirmed quickly, and I received a text the day before to confirm a delivery time. The cake arrived still warm and fresh out of the oven in a perfect carrying box. Most importantly of all, the cake was DELICIOUS and the birthday girl was thrilled with something different. The kids loved it too! I definitely recommend MJ's Dessert Bar!

The bakery had a cozy feeling. Ordered a German chocolate cake for a birthday party. I forgot to take a picture of the cake so please excuse my photo. A little pricey but well worth it. Place your order at least 7 days before your event to avoid late ordering fee. The cake was big & beautiful, moist and not too much icing. Just a perfect amount of sweetness. His family & guests loved the cake.

If they frown upon changing the pick up time, they should say so and not make the customer wait extra time. Too bad, it could have been better. I will never come back.

Normally I'm not a huge cake person, I just got it as a birthday gift but I ended up eating 3 slices! Her butter cream was just amazing. There were a dozen strawberries at first but I couldn't wait before taking a picture lol. I was definitely a bit of an annoying customer changing up the order for the cake like 3x bc I was trying to figure out what the birthday boy wanted, but she was patient and thorough with me. And she delivered right on time too. Very good customer service experience and good pricing on dessert. I was hesitant at first because I don't know anything about a good bakery but definitely will buy again. 10/10 would recommend!

It's in an old part of Arlington, the building itself fits right in with the area. That's not a bad thing, but don't expect some clean cut, smooth concreted parking lot with fancy equipment inside. They do well for being in an older part of town. Conchas, we enjoyed them! My favorite was whatever this strawberry roll cake was, soft & fluffy. They have a lot of options, I only wish they would label the pastries. There were some empanadas but we couldn't tell what was what & didn't want to be one of those people that cracked one open, because trust me, someone did on one of the trays. They have a refrigerated section, we'll probably try the flan next time too. The cakes are gorgeous, I can't comment on the taste... no need to get one for just the two of us. Prices are very good, yes, they take cash only. I saw someone said they take Zelle but I didn't look. I'm not mad about it though, it's a small business... they'd get charged for credit card usage. I don't know if everyone understands that & if cash only works for them & they continue to do well... I'll keep bringing cash! Very sweet employees! Go here, grab a snack to enjoy. Also, there's not really a place where you can sit & chat for hours with friends but give them a try for some yummy treats!

My husband got 2 pastries that he said were really good and I got a tree leche cup for $3 that weighed over a pound! Such great prices. We only spent $5! Will definitely be revisiting.
