Since my daughter's favorite Hello Kitty sidekick is Tuxedo Sam, I went online looking for a baking pro who could rise to the challenge and I found her. Terry Cooper of www.MiloSixsweettreats.org knocked it out of the park (Tel: 510.999.0505). Not only was it so straight forward to work out all of the details, but for a modest fee, she also delivered her baked pieces of art to my house the day off. The kids went gaga in class and it took a while before any of them bit into these arrestingly beautiful and detailed cake pops. We picked red velvet cake, and I must say, they were absolutely phenomenal. Perfect flavoring, not too sweet and delicious chocolate body filled with yummy and fluffy cake. Perfect b-day treat! I highly recommend Terry's creations and I will definitely hire her baking services again -for birthdays, baby-showers, weddings, girls' night, etc. Hope this was helpful. Btw, for presentation, I picked a Styrofoam ring which I quickly spray-painted with icy blue as if they were standing on ice. My daughter walked thru class and each kid could pick of the ring.

MiLo Six Treats is great! On a whim I decided to order some macarons last minute as a gift for a…read morefriend, & they had them ready within a few days. I had 2 dozen of the mini Salted Caramel macarons & I swear when I received them they put in a few extra as well. The macarons themselves were delicious and crafted well, as opposed to other places where their macarons can either come out too flat. Also, in comparison to other places that sell macarons, I feel like you're going to get more bang out of your buck ordering from here. However, about 25% of the macarons I received had their shells crushed die to poor packaging, I had to go out and find a better box to hold them in. However, I definitely can see myself ordering from them again in the future!

And free parking in their lot is awesome!!

The minimum buy is 1 box and I got the variety with had regular, lemon, chocolate dipped for 16 bucks. They accept credit cards and after they get your order they send someone to the back to get the box for you. You can then wait in the lobby while trying their individually wrapped ones. They look like they would be so good with your morning beverage. I hoep my client liked it because it was purchased for them. A good different alternative to cupcakes, cookies, etc. Its right near Peet's and Raiders HQ towards the back of Loop.

Even my friends who don't like sweets love this cupcake! They make a full sized cake version as well which is also delicious. I usually am not a fan of cupcakes because I feel like they lack depth of flavor compared to other desserts, but that's not the case at Cupcakin'. While key lime is my favorite, I've enjoyed every flavor I've tried here. Chocolate, Oreo, and red velvet are also great.

But not here! One of my favorite traits of a good cookie is softness / gooeyness. Somehow they achieve that without any butter or milk or cream or eggs! And that great texture persists for days. Plus the flavoring is just amazing. Ginger Spice: Has a really nice ginger-tang. Reminds me of those soft ginger and sugar cookies you usually get around Christmas time. Also, super soft. Surprisingly "buttery" tasting for being vegan. Island Coconut: Even softer than the other cookies. So soft they start to fall apart if you don't fully support the whole cookie in the palm of your hand. But that's fine, the taste is awesome. So much grated coconut goodness. Chocolate Chip: This tasted a bit off. Probably because chocolate chip cookies are classic and I've formed certain expectations over the decades. I think the big issue here is that the cookie base is so nice and chewy but the chips are hard and dry, kinda powdery. I guess vegan chocolate is just not my thing. So their cookie baking is still on point, but the vegan chocolate vendor is pretty blah. Peanut Butter: If any type of cookie is a good fit for being vegan, it's peanut butter! Peanut butter is such a magical food because it is creamy and filling and satisfying and generally amazing whilst being vegan. I appreciated how in their cookie version there's lots of peanut bits in addition to the peanut butter heavy cookie, it was like some waved a magic wand and turned chunky peanut butter into a cookie!

Street parking is the only option. Today, on a play date, I asked my daughter and friend if they wanted a cupcake - YEAH! The permanently drawn hopscotch and flowers on the sidewalk adjacent to the store was a nice touch. The two littles hopscotched their way to the front door. The hours are clearly printed on the door with adornments in the windows to be seen from the outside. Inside the store is quaint. The cupcake display is upfront with the register to the left. We were immediately greeted upon entering. We were the only group inside. At 12:30PM the display case was fairly empty, using cupcake name plates to determine if I wanted any not displayed - I did, one. The young lady behind the counter was in the middle of bringing out an oversized tub of cupcakes to fill the display as we entered. There were about 25 cupcake flavors to choose from with some being vegan including 3 additional dessert options. We each made our selection - vanilla bean, vanilla chocolate, lemon drop, Meyer lemon cream - each $4.75 and packaged individually upon request. Mobile pay, credit/debit and cash were options of payment. The cupcakes are smedium (small medium) in size. The vanilla bean frosting was enjoyed by my daughter. The cupcake itself did not taste like vanilla, more yellow cake forward and was a bit dry. The vanilla chocolate was devoured by my daughter's friend - she enjoyed. The lemon drop was lemon forward, the cupcake was moist, frosting thick. The Meyer lemon was a sweet, lemon forward cupcake, moist with a lemon curd my husband enjoyed.
