At the suggestion of my Yelp friend Anne C, I visited A Cupcake for Later while I was in…read moreWillimantic for the day. Appropriately, I was not buying cupcakes for contemporaneous consumption. They were indeed for . . . Later. I bought 5 different flavors to share with my family. I bought two lemon, because I definitely wanted to try the lemon. I also bought a Chocolate Peanut Butter, a Biscoff,, a Salted Caramel Butter Pecan, and a Strawberry. I tried the lemon and the Salted Caramel. The cake and icing in both were fresh, and had good flavor and texture. The flavors were accurate to description. There was a small reservoir of flavoring that extended from the bottom of the icing layer into the cake. That's always a nice touch in my book. My one note rating-wise, is that the cupcakes were not as ornate as the top tier CT cupcake places I've been to. Still tasty though. The shop was more functional than cute, but it was definitely professional and clean. Service was helpful and friendly. 4.25 Stars

I ordered cupcakes for a birthday celebration for my husband who lives in a nursing facility. I picked them up the day before and they were perfectly packaged for travel. After keeping them refrigerated as required they were fluffy and delicious. The fillings and toppings so rich and fresh! They disappeared as if by magic! I sampled the lemon cream, Boston cream and the carrot cake. But the menu is quite large and price points vary by size and "fanciness." You're sure to find something delicious for an event or just to have with a cup of tea. They make cakes as well from small size to all size wedding cakes. The service was flawless from phone order to pickup and the staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this wonderful spot for a treat for now ... or later!

We therefore got our wedding cake from Sweet Melissa and not only did Melissa implement my vision perfectly, the cake was beautiful, delicious, and reasonably priced. My mom was even able to order some color-your-own cookies for the kids to enjoy while we adults visited. Since we were a small party, I was not sure how much cake to buy. Melissa was wonderful and counseled us on how much we needed. Though we perhaps could have gotten even less, I am not about to complain! Who would complain about too much cake?!? Thank you so much Melissa! If whoever is reading this is looking for a small-business to support, pick Sweet Melissa. You won't be disappointed!

The scones and cupcakes are also yummy -- but the cake pops are unworldly! SO DARN YUMMY. If you're looking for a local bakery to do a custom order for a party or holiday, or even just want a treat to bring in for a work meeting or to dinner at a friends' house, you can't go wrong with Brothers Baking. So easy to order online, they are super responsive, and pickup or local delivery makes it so convenient! I've even had chocolate chip cookies shipped to my daughter at college and they arrived safe & sound. Such good service! I almost forgot to mention the cinnamon buns. Yummmmmm!

I loved what I saw from street view already, being someone who loves quaint homeyness over hoity-toity pretentiousness, but upon walking in I almost knew immediately this would be the spot. It's a lovely little bakery, in a very quiet part of Worcester, and I felt invited in by the staff upon entering. Mara knew who we were, sat us down and provided excellent samples on a platter and discussed our favorite colors, ideas, etc. during our consultation. By the time she finished, my fiance looked at me and we exchanged the decision that we were going with On The Rise. Now, it's a way's off before I'll see what our wedding cake turns out to be, but the samples we tried were wonder, the presentation was beautiful, the service was excellent, and I love knowing I'm supporting a truly local staple. (If I remember, I'll update this after the wedding!)

I cannot speak for their catering business, but I highly recommend stopping by for a coffee and a pastry or sandwich! Prices are on point and the quaint space has a relaxing atmosphere.
