Sweet Reasons - Custom dozens for a babyshower. The co-owner was a joy to work with and the cupcakes were amazing as usual!

There are many SWEET REASONS why this shop is the best cupcakery and more in Fredericksburg. The…read moreshop is super cute and clean and the folks working are always a joy. The selection is usually plentiful with a good variety of cupcakes, cheesecake, brownies and other baked goods. They focus on an overall great cupcake. Some shops focus on looks or just the icing and not the cake. But I can say they win in all categories. Cupcakes are visually appealing, always moist and delicious with just the right amount of decadent frosting. If you are looking for cupcakes here's your shop! You will become a regular after coming here, it's that good!

Stopped by to give this place a try for the 1st time. We got the cheesecakes sampler (4 slices for…read more$26) and 2-cupcakes. Despite some previous reviews about the dryness of the cupcakes and the bland cheesecake, we wanted to give it a go. Welp, those reviews were precise! My daughter could not finish her cupcake (that is the 1st time ever for her!!) she said it was very dry and crumbly, almost a dry biscuit like texture. And even with the 4 different types of cheesecake, it really lacked flavor. Someone reviewed it as eating straight butter, I would say it was more like eating just a block of cream cheese. I mean oreo, strawberry, should have some of those flavors in the actual cheesecake part right? At this point even some vanilla extract would've did some justice, but nope nada. While we were deciding which 4 slices we wanted, we asked if they would have pumpkin cheesecake coming in the near future (hints the Fall season). The lady helping us didn't answer the question but instead stated "well the gingerbread cheesecake would taste like it". Who has ever thought gingerbread and pumpkin would be the same??? Needless to say, we won't be back and (mental note) we should probably trust reviews with specific details more.

I've lived in the Fredericksburg community since 1990, and I've been a regular customer since then…read more Not only is all of their bakery goods the best in our city, I'll wager that they are in the top three bakeries in Virginia! They've been in business for over two generations, and all of the ladies who work there are extremely friendly and they go above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service! I'm 70 years old, and if I were younger I would love to work there. They're doing it "ALL right" to still be in a thriving bakery business in our struggling times. I get my holiday orders in early, and once you become a regular customer you'll understand why! They work endlessly to make sure that they have taken care of their customers wants and needs long before Christmas Eve. They close the bakery from the afternoon on Christmas Eve, and they stay closed until after the New Year! We all realize how important it is for their staff to enjoy the holidays with their own families and friends, so we make sure that we're set with our bakery orders and needs before Christmas Eve. We'll be in line and happily waiting for them to open their doors again after the New Year! Thank you for the years of kindness and quality baked goods, coupled with outstanding customer service and hospitality In our community! Sincerely from, Kimberly Ann Hall

Amazing and so caring! Brenda is so detail oriented and thoughtful and made an almond cake, almond…read morecupcakes, and carrot cake cupcakes for my daughter's wedding. I asked her to make Texas sheet cake, of which she'd never done, and she discovered there was a chocolate and a blonde recipe out there. She made both, not know which we preferred, and also added a few other cupcakes to add color and more flavor to our assortment - all of her own doing and not asking to charge us extra. We gladly compensated her for her sweet thoughtfulness and for treating our daughter's wedding as if it were thing she had on her plate. She's delightful, dependable, and took our daughters wedding personal to make it a beautiful presentation. We travelled back to TN with the few left over desserts and I seriously have hidden them to eat them myself. Highly recommend. She's very responsive and a pro and her sweet husband helped with the delivery.

The chocolate cupcake was fluffy, moist, and evenly filled with chocolate ganache. The peanut butter buttercream frosting was one of the best I've had; not overly sweet and was not at all gritty! The individual boxes that the cupcakes came in were a wonderful, unexpected touch. The process for ordering and picking up the cupcakes was effortless. Brenda, the store owner, was a sweet woman who took my phone call with excitement. She walked me through her flavor profiles and gave me an affordable rate for a half dozen cupcakes. I ordered approximately 5 days before I needed to pick them up with no issues. I even gave her an approximate time I would pick them up at and she made sure to have them ready by then. On pickup day, I drove out to her home which was minutes off Route 29 (behind the CVS on Moore Rd.) Her home, including her kitchen, were immaculate and very, very clean! Just a wonderful experience all around! Please consider giving your business to a local baker!
