I like this little place. Great variety of fresh cupcakes. Staff is sweet & quick with your order. Cupcakes are Delightful! A bit ashamed to admit but Ive tried a LOT of the flavors offered. Each so flipping Tasty. Love bringing these to family dinners. Always a crowd pleaser

Friendly staff. I like the icing and Crème Brule cupcake cute shop. I gave them to my employees and customer

Cupcake case

Went here yesterday with a friend, it's in an odd ball location in a strip mall off the main road. The cupcakes are displayed very nicely but my friend and I had brownies, one peanut butter and one salted caramel. They have removed all the tables and chairs so we had to eat them in our car. These brownies were not fresh, And at best they were just OK. There's no way this place could get enough foot traffic to sell that many desserts. If I'm paying five dollars for a cupcake I want it to be made that day and fresh. So overall really cute cupcakes with cute names, that are nicely displayed, but this place is a pass. The cupcakes at Smallcakes are bigger, always made the same day, and less expensive. Also worth noting she did not take these brownies out of the case they were already boxed behind the counter

The first time I ever heard of Designer Desserts was when they went viral for sticking up to a customer that was fat shamed in the store by another customer. I knew right then and there that this is the type of business that I want to support. I live in Chicago and decided to take the hour drive down to Schererville to give these desserts a try. For starters, the place itself was sparkling clean and the employees were disinfecting every ounce of the store. I truly appreciate them taking the virus seriously and keeping everyone safe. The decor is very inviting and cozy, I wish I would have visited before the corona life, otherwise I would have hung out inside the store while eating the delicious cupcakes. Speaking of cupcakes, they are mouthwatering delicious. There are so many options to choose from and I wish I could have tried them all, but for almost 5$ a cupcake, I had to stick to a few. I am huge foodie and I have a very picky taste when it comes to buttercream, but this store knocked it out of the park. It just melts in your mouth and pairs really well with the moist cupcakes. Have I mentioned that this place supports Black Lives Matter? How much better can it get? Definitely a must try!

Didn't want to risk any accidents if these delicious treats!

First time trying this place which I found on Yelp app! Really clean nice store! Cupcakes were really good and the design of them was amazing! I think the price was very reasonable considering these things are huge! Definitely will shop there again!

This shop is a feast for the eyes, as it is gorgeous! The treats are gorgeous - they have been carefully decorated! There is a multitude of options! You'll have an extremely hard time choosing between cupcake flavors. Plus they offer brownies and cookies the size of your hand! So far I've enjoyed the red velvet; it was moist, fluffy, not too sweet and definitely satisfying. The cupcakes are quite large and expensive. A half dozen cupcakes will set you back $25! These are certainly a special occasion treat as they weigh on the waist and the wallet. I constantly remind myself of this to keep me far, far away ;)

First time here & this place is a hidden gem. Only been open for about a year. Really nice & clean. So many different flavors to decide from. Great place for a little down time & enjoy a sweet. It's a little pricey but definitely worth it. I ordered the vanilla cupcake & the cookies n cream. Very good & moist. I will be returning.

I am a person that LOVESSSS cupcakes. I saw a bill board for this place a month ago and after going on yelp and their website to see what they have my boyfriend and I decided to go. So on 10/14/17 we went after dinner. It was about 7pm and they still had a nice selection of cupcakes to choose from. They are really good size cupcakes. My only issue is that I love cupcakes with filling and they don't have a huge selection of cupcakes with fillings. So we decide on four cupcakes.. I chose the "rolling in the dough" yellow cake with chocolate chips, buttercream icing, and a scoop of cookie dough on top. I really liked and wish they had took that scoop of cookie dough in the middle. Also the icing was just a lil sweet. My other choice was "Flying Monkey" was yellow cake with a banana custard, chocolate topping and banana chips on top. That was good mainly because I like that it had filling, lol. My boyfriend thought they were ok too. Overall good cupcakes just wish they had filling in all of them. My #1 place is still Molly cupcakes in Chicago.. but this place is a very close 2nd.

Got the cookie dough cupcake and wasn't done in the middle... first time ever having this hopefully the rest I got are fully done

First time coming here and got a half dozen cupcakes, the cookie dough cupcake wasn't cooked in the middle. Not too sure I'll be coming back considering they should be done and paying $24.96 for 6. I expected better quality.

Anyone know if they can make macarons?

I think they do. Not 100% sure.

Don't blink or you will miss out! Thank goodness they have a truck with their logo on it. It's on…read morean access road in an outdoor strip mall so you will have to turn into that to get there. Another place I have been meaning to get to but I don't come down this far often. But I will now! I have tried my fair share of cupcakeries and this ranks #1. I got the last caramel banana pudding (there was regular and I believe another flavor) Fantastic!! Between my husband and I this didn't last the night. I narrowed my cupcake choice to 3- toffee caramel, butterfinger and Dutch apple. Moist and delicious and creamy frosting OMG. It tasted as the title described and not too sweet or fake flavored in the least. I was stunned when I walked in as I wasn't expecting what was before my eyes. The owner was friendly and gave me the run down. They also have minimal ice cream flavors for winter but she said more in the warmer months. I will be back sooner than later and it is worth the extra gas I will use!

This cute little bakery offered one soy based ice cream and several vegan cupcakes. Cupcakes were ok and satisfied my sweet tooth. If you're vegan and in this area, show 'em a little love so they can keep offering these treats for us.

I wanted to treat my girlfriend for her birthday, so I ordered a large tray of shrimp salad, and by…read morethe time the party started, it was gone. Everyone wanted to know who made the shrimp salad. The staff was friendly and accommodated my on-spot request. They have other delicious cakes, cookies, tuna, etc I can't wait to go back and try other salads on the menu.

Updating my review as I visited a few weeks ago and was very happy with my visit!…read more They completely renovated their store and it looks wonderful. They also updated their menu to specify prices for a small and a large sandwich and even have the bread clearly on display near the menu. I really appreciated seeing that so much! The lady who I assumed was the owner/manager was very kind and got me my order of a large croissant sandwich meal , key lime pie bar, and an iced coffee. The sandwich was delicious and I upgraded it to a meal. I kind of panic picked my side and chose the potato salad. It is a very eggy-based potato salad and is definitely the choice for you if you prefer that! And the sandwich was great and I was pretty happy. The key lime pie bar had a perfect ratio of key lime mixture and the shortbread crust. I love crust and appreciated that there was the perfect amount to enjoy both flavors. The texture of the key lime pie + lemon bars are more whipped/cohesive compared to the usual lemon bar's acidic softness. I think this would be perfect for people with food sensory issues or just people who don't like the texture of normal lemon bars. Overall, I was pretty happy with my visit and glad to update it with a way better review :) So glad to see how nice the business looks and appreciate the management!
