The banana nut cupcake was good if you avoided the overly sweet frosting and the piña colada cupcake was an absolute masterpiece. The piña colada cupcake was perfect, not too sweet, moist, topped with coconut that added the perfect crunch. At $3.00/cupcake I thought it was a bit pricy but the quality and taste make up for that.

Stopped by this bakery after lunch and never knew it was here. It's very small but don't let that fool ya! The place is very clean and looks upscale but prices are pretty reasonable. They had a big selection of different cup cakes and cake balls too. The lady in front of us was picking up a custom cake that even though was slightly pricey looked amazing!! So the girlfriend and I ordered a four cupcake box which is $12. They looked amazing. We got a key lime, a vanilla, red velvet and chocolate bliss. Then I saw Mexican wedding cookies. If you've ever had those you know they are like heaven on earth. I grew up in Southern California close to the border so I had high expectations. We tried the Mexican wedding cake cookies on the way home.....WOW!!!!! They were amazing, ingredients were nailed and tasted so fresh with just the right texture. Got home and cut into the key lime.....it only got better from there . The cake was light and moist. I'm not an icing guy at all so we not looking forward to it. The icing on this cupcake was so light, not too sweet and absolutely nailed the key lime perfectly. We will be back. Stop by if you have a little craving for something sweet.

I was so impressed with my cake. It was exactly what I asked for and more. So many compliments on it. I got a chocolate cake with raspberry filling. Perfect balance between cake and filling. The icing was also very good. I've used the bakery before and always been happy with their cakes. A little expensive but worth it.

Love Sweet Things (ME TOO) what a name, so we decided to try a birthday cake here. They do custom cakes with 2 weeks notice, it's a small shop at high traffic intersection kinda have to look to see it sandwiched in between other shops, but once you open the door the bakery goodness awakens your senses and then you are presented with cupcakes and cookies in a small display area, if you Love sweet things then this would be your O WOW moment, selection is simple, display tempting, and the service outstanding. I didn't think to get the ladies name that helped us I was overwhelmed with anticipation of that 1st taste but she was outstanding we ordered a simple 10" cake called the Black Tie Affair Chocolate and vanilla cake alternated layers to create the best of both worlds,this affair is also marbled with creamy chocolate bliss and vanilla buttercream.(as described on their website) and was absolutely delicious cake was baked perfectly in my opinion moistness was spot on, layering of the flavors pure sweetness to the palate, the design and the little bowties on the top were shaped nicely and it modeled nicely for the camera's. In short I Love sweet things bakery with short notice they went above and beyond our expectations the pricing is comparable and reasonable to the many other Bakeries and Bakers we have enjoyed in the area just remember it is SWEET, their website is well done and they are on most social platforms. The shop is small and can get crowded quick when I picked up Saturday their were 4-5 people their ordering cupcakes and it was tight they have 1 small table inside to sit. Works better for me to order and pickup Obviously when there I'm going want to get more goodies and check out their promotion bogo cupcake when you text DRIZZLE to # provided at store -- it's a keeper

Beautiful Letter Cake!!!
Kendra M.

Amy is AMAZING!!! I contacted Love Sweet Things Bakery on Tuesday for a cake I needed on Saturday and it exceeded my expectations. I showed her a few examples of what I was wanting and they executed it BEAUTIFULLY!! Everyone I spoke to was so nice and very professional. If you're looking to get a cake done in a timely manner and want great customer service, I highly recommend Love Sweet Things Bakery. Thank you again!!

The best cupcakes ever
Sarrang P.

Please come down closer to me because these are so amazing. I've never been to the actual bakery but I got some gifted to me for a birthday present and it was the best cupcake I have ever had! The cupcakes are not only cute but they are so freaking delicious! The cakes aren't over sweet and are pretty moist. Whenever I'm down in the area I would love to visit this place but sadly it is am good and half away.. the gift I got was a strawberry, chocolate, cookies and cream, and coconut. I hate coconut but this coconut was so good. It had the texture of coconut shavings but was sweet like icing! The strawberry cupcakes were strawberry cake too and it did not have an artificial strawberry taste at all. Overall definitely a place to try!

Assortment of delicious cupcakes!
Colleen H.

This place has scrumptious cupcakes and a wide variety to choose from. You can enjoy your cupcake sitting inside the bakery or take it with you. Great customer service. Plan to bring my granddaughter next time for a delicious treat.

My customizable Avenger themed cake for hubby! Loved it!
Jess A.

It all began with just a phone call w/ Amy. Amy took her time to help me decide what I wanted for my partners birthday cake. She was very sweet and accommodating​. The customizable Avenger cake I submitted turned out great. Her staff is great too, very friendly. Last but not least, the Red Velvet flavor was sooo yummy! Very spongey, fresh and just great. Everyone loved it! Love Sweet Things Bakery is definitely great

Had the hummingbird cake and the champagne mimosa for my Mom's 70th! They did an amazing job AND it was moist, flavorful and delicious. One of the best cakes I have ever had!

Sunday afternoon, strawberry cream cheese, red velvet.
Cecilia P.

Was craving something sweet and this place was in the neighborhood! Walked in and was greeted immediately. I ordered 4 just so I won't get disappointed. Red velvet, strawberry cream cheese, Sunday afternoon, and I forgot the last one. Sunday afternoon was delicious! Icing taste just like strawberries. Strawberry cream cheese icing was too sweet for me. They offer other exotic flavors but they aren't offered all the time. You can call to have some ordered... They ask you to do 6 cupcakes per flavor ex: 6 rocky road and 6 wedding cake. I'd like to try their specialty cupcakes randomly whenever I come by.

Jill A.

Have had two cakes done, and one more I'm picking up next weekend! Quality is always amazing. Taste delicious and look amazing! Another 3rd amazing cake for my husbands birthday! Will continue to get every cake here! Such beautiful work!

Catherine H.

So my teen daughter decided she wanted a princess party birthday theme. We checked around town and the prices were pretty high. Find this bakery on Yelp and gave them a call. From the first communication with the employees, I knew we were going to be in good hands. The price was right, and the cake was absolutely amazing. My daughter custom ordered what she wanted, down to the colored-tipped roses. This case has no fondant, all of that you see is ridiculously delicious buttercream. The cake was super moist, and got rave reviews all around. Will definitely be using Love Sweet Things for all of our special occasions.

3 tres leche cupcakes/1 wedding cake/1 Sunday Afternoon/1 strawberry cheesecake
Crystal B.

I was excited to get my hubby cupcakes from this place since his favorite Honey Love Cakery closed. I picked these up for my husbands birthday. The 3 with lots of strawberries on top are suppose to be tres leche cupcakes. I was soo excited for him to try these since that's his fav cake. I was disappointed when we bit into them they were not wet or juicy or anything but dry. I was so sad because I know he was disappointed :( I should have just gone for the actual tres leche cake. not how tres leche should be at all def not dry. The cake part was spongy not cake like at all.. the strawberry cheesecake was really good and the Sunday Afternoon

There are a million things you have to plan and worry about going awry on your wedding day and this was the one component that was just perfect. From ordering, asking questions, and pickup to cutting and eating - the process working with Hanna was seamless and comfortable. The cake itself was to die for. We went with an almond cake, blackberry filling and cream cheese frosting. This combination was insane! The cake was buttery, flavorful, nutty, nuanced and so rich and delicate. The filling was fresh, sweet, tart, and bright. The frostings were creamy, melt in your mouth goodness. The sweetness was so balanced that no one had a problem inhaling their slice. Might I say - this cake was even better the next day when I had time to myself and my now husband :) to sit down and enjoy a leftover slice with some hot tea. It was just such a memorable part of our entire weekend. Not that I even have to disclose but, obviously, the cake was gorgeous. I was absolutely hesitant to slice and ruin any of this incredibly detailed piping and decor but it cut like butter and tasted just as good as it looked. It was truly a perfect cake and you need one for your next event.

Her cakes are a feast for the eyes and for your sweet tooth!!!

The space is quite spartan - a super long bakery case, a few employees helping folks in line, and some very bare bones tables and cafe chairs. There's a painted mural and some spare (broken?) shelving in an unlit seating area. Most people appeared to be getting their orders to go. Of course, I tried the Black Forest Cake - it was an unpleasant surprise for me. It's crunchy!!! I'm told it's their own classic recipe and it's what they're known for. It was very sweet and clearly the baker who made it was very skilled. I would not even call it cake though... it wasn't moist, chewy or chocolate-y. It had a light, sweet, melt-on-the-tongue crispy airiness. I'll have to try something different the next time I'm in - and I'll be sure to ask the staff for recommendations, so I'm not taken unawares again.

My body does not tolerate gluten very well, which is a shame, because I love breads, cakes,…read morecookies, etc. I don't have Celiac, but I am gluten sensitive. This spot is perfect for me. I usually get the keto bread. It tastes like regular bread, but the texture is a little softer, moisturer, and more crumbly than whole wheat bread. The texture is not odd at all, just different. My hubby even likes this bread. It makes great sammies and perfect toast. When I walked into the store, there were lots of treat samples at the front counter. The nice young lady working that afternoon didn't even bat an eye as I taste tested almost all of those samples. LOL! I ended up also getting a slice of the "COW" (cake of the week). That week, the COW was candy bar cake. It was a wonderful well balanced treat. I find that I can't tell that their cakes, cookies, pies, and many other items are actually gluten free. They are simply delish! This bakery attracts even avid gluten eaters because you can tell a lot of care and quality ingredients go into their goods. That is the telltale mark of any good bakery. This place is in a small strip mall. There is adequate parking and I've never had to street park unless it's holiday season. I enjoy having such a tasty place to give my body a break from gluten.
