Oreo cupcake! This was the best cupcake I've ever had.
Heather E.

I haven't been in to the physical shop, but I had some of their cupcakes at a catered event and they were perfect! I don't usually eat cupcakes because I don't often like frosting (terrible, I know!), but their Oreo cupcake has this amazing cream cheese frosting with a bit of Oreo in it! I was the best cupcake I've ever had! If you want high quality cupcakes for a special occasion, Layers should be high on your list!

I stopped into Layers for the first time today. The shop, while small is bright and airy. The first thing you notice are the cupcakes, all beautifully decorated. The had a few different flavors available and I selected the chocolate with vanilla bean frosting. The cupcake was packaged in a cute little Tiffany blue style box that kept my cupcake stable until I got home. The cupcake itself was delicious, super moist and chocolaty.I really loved the frosting, it was creamy, not too sweet and the vanilla flavour really came through. I also liked the frosting to cupcake ratio The cupcake is pretty affordable at 3.25 a pop. The store also has a chilled and frozen foods section. They have a nice selection of entrees for two people and party sized apps as well. I picked up a bottle of champagne vinaigrette, I can't wait to try it, and enjoy that it only has natural ingredients in it. My parents throw an annual Christmas party and this year I plan them some risotto croquettes from Kitchen Door Catering to serve, they looked delicious!

Yum! Cupcakes!

Oh MY WOW!!!! First off, let me just state that I've never been one to understand the cup cake craze... but I might just be addicted to this little shop that just so happens to be around the corner from my house. I've walked by numerous times, and thankfully today I finally walked in. As I walked in, one of the owners was holding a "Be Mine" banner.... Quite the welcome :) Unfortunately for me she already had a valentine lined up :( This is a cute little shop and a combination of Layers, the cup cake shop and Kitchen Door Catering (review to come after I indulge in the gourmet Mac N Cheese I got). The staff was extremely friendly and their selection of cup cakes was fantastic... which made my decision harder. None the less, I settled on a safe option; Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cake!!! I ate the small peanut butter cup that was sitting on top of the icing while still in the shop and speaking with the owners about the art of making cupcakes. As I walked out the door I took my first bite... and was magically transported on a cloud. Soooo moist and fluffy and the icing was done to absolute perfection, and I'm not usually one for excessive amounts of icing. This little cup cake was a perfect balance of flavors and truly delectable. I barely remember walking the block. All I know is that when I came to my senses, it took all the will I had not to turn around and go for seconds This is going to be dangerous.

Layers makes the most perfect cupcake!. They're an awesome mix of everything you could ever want in a cupcake. Not too soft, not too crumbly, not to sweet, perfectly moist, light and 100% delicious. The vanilla/vanilla bean is my favorite (that's saying a lot because I'm a chocolate lover!!)

My soon to be "daughter in law " shower was today ! Cupcakes big hit Looked beautiful but tasted even better! Sometimes food looks beautiful and sometimes food will taste amazing! These cupcakes had both!

Pretty pastels in the Layers window!

There is a famous bakery in New York, Magnolia Bakery, that I stop at every time I'm there. I think about it all the time. That was until I ate a Layer's cupcake. Holy. These things are good. Best of all, just right downtown. If you had to pick one cupcake in Halifax to eat - I'd urge you to pick one from Layers!

Rainbow cake and accompanying rainbow cupcakes. Beautiful AND delicious!

I ordered a rainbow cake and rainbow cupcakes for a "Wizard of Oz" themed party, and they did a fabulous job on both. They looked spectacular but, best of all, they tasted as good as they looked. Also, the staff were very easy to work with, and right on top of all the details. Mary Anne

We recently ordered cupcakes with Delectable Desserts for a very special occasion. They were…read moreabsolutely perfect! Right after opening up the box, we were totally impressed with the beautiful presentation. These cupcakes were just incredibly decorated. Each one of them was like a small piece of art. We had a sampling of a number of flavors, all of which were successes. The cakes were incredibly moist and light, sweet but not too sweet. The frosting was very smooth and creamy, full of flavor, not too sweet, and complemented the cake. Delectable Desserts really made our occasion special. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality really showed in every single bite. The service was great. The hospitality of the staff, warm and accommodating, showed in their passion for the job. They made sure everything was perfect with our ordered dish and delivered it on time, hence making the experience seamless and a joyful one. In short, we could not be more pleased with our Delectable Desserts cupcakes. They were truly the star dessert of the show at our special party, and our friends and family just loved them. We would enthusiastically recommend Delectable Desserts to any event a client wants to add a touch of sweet and classy to. Five stars all the way!

The only small bump in the road was that they included an invoice with the order that was a gift for a friend. Make sure you specify that they do not include one if you're doing the same. Other than that, absolutely INCREDIBLE store!
