I ordered an 8 pack online to pick up later that day. You have to use PayPal or Klarna. I called to let them know what time I would be there to pickup (as requested on the site). Everything was ready when I got there. The turtle and snickerdoodle were my favorite. I am a sucker for snickerdoodle and these did not disappoint. The icing was perfect. It wasn't to sweet and the texture was nice and smooth and the cake was moist. I'll be back for the milkshakes and more cupcakes!

Unicorn shake
Amber M.

First of all - the customer service here is hands down everything!! Whenever I feel the "where do I know you from?!" vibes I know I've found a worthy establishment to spend money. We visited strictly for the milkshakes as we'd seen a few TikTok videos that beckoned us to come check them out. We were not disappointed! My daughter, had the unicorn milkshake which sadly didn't come w a cupcake like many of the others but instead boasted all kinds of candy and frostings drizzled on the sides including a lollipop and rock candy stuck inside, yea more than enough sugar!! My son had the Oreo milkshake which was more so like a small meal of dessert fit for 2! I was too overwhelmed by their treats to open up the rest of our desserts (cupcakes) for another day or so but everything was amazing!! The only tip I would give is bring a folding chair to sit outside if you plan to have a milkshake unless you want to sacrifice the quality of your car's interiors!

I've been wanting to visit for a while and today I took my daughter for her birthday. I want to start off with the young ladies at the front were awesome! If I had to base my review on them alone, I would have given them 5 stars. I arrived at the store 10 minutes before closing and was greeted with a smile. When I received my milkshakes, I was still standing there and one of the young ladies came from the back and was wondering why was i still there? I explained to her that I didn't pay and she looked surprised. I paid for the milkshakes and left. The milkshakes were good, but the cupcake on top was so hard I couldn't enjoy it. The cupcake flavor was off to me and again it could be because how hard it was. My daughter complained that the cotton candy on her milkshakes was stale. This was very disappointing. We both agreed that this was not what we expected. Unfortunately when we got home we trashed our milkshakes. I wish this wasn't our experience especially on my daughter's birthday.

Let me just start off by saying this is not based only on their customer service. I'm sure the video on tik tok made their business boom, but....I won't be coming back here. We waited in line for over an hour to order. When ordering, the cashier informed us they only had the large shake available, no problem. Then after we ordered we were told we had to wait another 30 mins before the shakes would be ready. Those 30 mins turned out to be 45. We were so behind we had to change our reservations for what we planned over 2 hours after our arrival!! On to the shakes.... I got the birthday cake shake and it was....it just was. The shake itself tasted like straight milk. That probably had something to do with the fact 15 minutes after we ordered the milkshakes were sold out. I'm thinking they tried to stretch that last corner of ice cream. The rim with covered in icing and rainbow sprinkles. The icing had no sweetness whatsoever. I'm sure that's because they didn't want the shake to be too sweet. But good lord it needed a little. The cupcake on top tasted like a regular dry cupcake. Nothing special. My gf got the cookies and cream and was disappointed more than I was. I'll stick to Sonic for milkshakes. $30 + 1 hour 45 mins wait + underwhelming shakes= waste of our time They get one star for presentation.

The cupcakes tasted like box cake mix and store-bought rising, nothing tasted made from scratch. The cookies were raw on the inside. Also, the person who was taking orders was not very welcoming and barely spoke back when spoken to about the product. Super cute shop though

Found Ms Cynthia on Instagram as she was hosting a cake decorating class for kids. My daughter being our resident baker just had to signup! Let's start by the WOW factor when you enter the party/class area. My little one was so happy, and even though I was leaving her in a strange place for 2 hours she seemed as ease and the pick ip was full of smiles and happiness! Very professional and kind, everyone who greeted us made it so calming. We will be back for more classes and possibly a birthday party celebration, as my daughter now wants her next party here! Lol great spot! Go eat cake!!!!

Strawberry crunch and Oreo cupcake!
Vishal P.

I decided to try this place after I found it on yelp and it was close to my houses. I actually come to the area every now and then to get food and I had no idea this place existed. It's in the lower level of the center near teppanyaki buffet and America's best wings. I walked in and was pleasantly surprised they had plenty of options. They have not only cupcakes but also cookies, brownies, cake slices, and even some desserts in a cup. It all looked great. I got an Oreo cupcake and a strawberry crunch cupcake. Total came to bout $4 which is pretty decently priced. The cupcakes were ok in my opinion. Nothing special but better than the ones you can buy at the grocery store. The cake part is good but the icing is a little disappointing. It didn't taste sweet at all and had more of a whip cream texture than icing texture.

Snicker doodle
Ephraim F.

We tried the strawberry crumb and snicker doodle cupcakes. The snickerdoodle was our favorite, it was delicious.

Awesome Cupcakes......beautiful By DRY Valentine's Day cake Cynthia Cakes had a special for valentine's day. Cake for 2 for $65. Valerie is my 1 year anniversary so my fiance and I ordered one. She had a pre-order special deposit $32.50 via cash app for the cake for two. We sent the deposit and messaged for details.... no response. We called. Whomever we spoke to was Rude and wrong. . We asked could the cake be picked up Feb 12th. She said No Valentine's day only. Mind you this is like the first week of Jan. She said we would need to cash app her the balance upon pick up. And that there are 3 different cake flavors and they first come first serve. So..... we sent a family member to get it. She was not allowed to cash app the balance and could not chose the cake of our choice. She was told that the cakes arent labled and they are a mystery inside you just have to take what you get.. this is a $65 dollar cake mind you... But ok fine.. So we get the cake... now i will say it looked beautiful. And my fiance and i personally liked the whippped buttery icing. Not toooo sweet it was good..... The cake. Dry and hard..... did you ice old cakes? I worked at Woodlea Bakery i know a good cake when i have one. The. Beautiful cake was a no for my family. I hope this was an isolated incident and i wish the company the best.

Snickerdoodle cupcake
Carlyn P.

Pros: Black owned business. Friendly staff Cons: The Product They have a case with a plethora of flavored cupcakes. I am more interested in the cake than the ice cream. Because this is a bakery I expected to be wowed by the creativity of the baker. Lies. I purchased the Strawberry Shortcake, Grandma, and Snickerdoodlr cupcakes. -Strawberry Shortcake was particularly attractive because the topping looks like the Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bars (see pic). The cake was very average strawberry cake and a waste if calories. The icing's texture was inconsistent and unrecognizable. It thickness was like whip cream but airyer. My stomach did flips all day. Not again. -The Grandma cupcakes was attractive because it was simple. Yellow cake with chocolate icing. The cake was basic and lacked flavor. A box cake mix would have helped. This was very disappointing again because this is a bakery. It's suppose to be amazing. The chocolate icing was pretty good. Nice thickness and consistency. - The Snickerdoodle cupcake was the best of the 3. I would give it a C. The cake was better as it had more flavor. The icing was edible. Overall, I will not return. My stomach was really upset within minutes after I finished one cupcacke. I tasted the others then threw them away. The cupcakes are beautiful but the tastes and flavors are subpar. I think you will have better luck with Wal-Mart's bakery. The Wal-Mart in Laurel has an amazing bakery. I've ordered many cakes there.

I got some cakes here and while perfectly fine, it tastes much like box cake. Not bad, but for the price, i will most likely not come back.

New to the area and I love it! I've heard of the Roggenart…read morechain but this was my first experience. Upon entering, there was a little line at the counter but that gave us time to look over the menu and admire the pastries in the glass. We could see them making the fresh croissants so we definitely wanted to order breakfast sandwiches. I got a traditional bacon, egg, and cheddar and my boyfriend got the chicken, egg, and cheddar. The chicken, egg, and cheddar was bomb!! Both sandwiches were a good portion and ratio of meat and eggs. I loved that the bacon was crispy--nothing worse than a rubbery piece of bacon on your sandwich. They were advertising Belgium waffles so we had to try--it was ok. The real star was the sandwiches. Not shown in this review are our beverages. We ordered an iced tea with raspberry syrup and a tiramisu iced latte (didn't taste much of the tiramisu flavor). It was a cozy feel to the seating area. I liked that there were different options for seating, especially the seats in the window for perfect people watching. The tables were wiped promptly and the bathroom was very clean. I would definitely add Roggenart to my list to visit again.

New Roggenart location that took over a local beloved bakery…read more I've been here a couple times and it's not anything to write home about. Service feels like they're rushing me to get my order. Espresso is often bitter, today I had a latte so bad I couldn't finish it. The pastries are only okay, and when I asked for mine heated, it was still cold in the middle. I've only ever been in here when it's not super busy, so I haven't had to wait too long for my order. The inside is decorated cute though, it's very modern and seems like a good spot to work remotely. Not my first choice when going to bakeries/cafes in Catonsville.

I had the pleasure of ordering from Cedars Cakes, which is a cute little bake shop in the Baltimore…read moreCounty area, and they have been open for a year now. I ordered a birthday cake for my mom's birthday celebration, and it started from seeing a post on Instagram. I spoke with the owner on the phone to discuss my vision for the cake, and after seeing the outcome, I have to say it was executed well! The cake had four layers, and we had the option to choose two flavors - so we went with vanilla and lemon. Both tasted so good! I'm usually not a fan of lemon anything, but I was really impressed with this one. Unfortunately, I didn't like the outer red icing. It wasn't edible and had a very bitter taste. I understand that darker icings require more food coloring, but this was to the point where it couldn't even be eaten. Because the actual cake itself was really good, it was easy to overlook the frosting. I usually don't eat too much icing anyway, but we chose this color because of the theme of my mom's party. I'm sure a lighter frosting that doesn't require much food coloring wouldn't have such a bitter taste. Cedars Cakes also sells cupcakes and other baked goods, such as cookies and macaroons in the store. If this bake shop was here ten years ago when I was attending college in the area, I know I would've frequented so often! The cake was absolutely delicious and my mom was very happy with it. Thank you, Cedars Cakes for such a beautiful cake!!

My husband purchased 8 and they were in containers . 4 in each for a total of 20$ . I have tried 2 so far ! They were good .
