    Strawberry crème brûlée cake
    Victoria B.

    I ordered a cake here for a coworkers birthday celebration and it was absolutely phenomenal! My coworkers can't stop talking about how they've never tried anything like it and that they hope I order there birthday cakes here too. I can't wait to try all the flavors!

    strawberry tart and milk tea roll!

    I've been back several times since my initial visit, and I have to say that Make It Sweet might be one of my favorite bakeries. I've been convincing all of my friends to come with me to try their baked goods and all of them agree that their pastries are delicious! I tried their matcha cream puff and it was lovely (and also probably the best cream puff I've ever had). And aside from their amazing pastries, the owners are just as amazing and kind! They're always so welcoming and it just makes my visits even better! If I could visit every week, I would!

    Tried Make It Sweet out the other week and have already gone back because it was so good! The employees are very nice & their drinks/pastries are amazing! Recently got their matcha latte, tiramisu cream puff, and black sesame mochi cookie which were all great. I'll definitely be going back!

    I've been here multiple times and the only complaint I have is that they're not open during the morning (totally joking!). I absolutely adore this small bakery, the pastries are all homemade and the drinks are delicious. My favorite place to get high quality matcha ! The service here is always quick and all the workers are so friendly here. It's a quiet place with limited seating so I don't recommend coming here with large groups to hang around, but if you want a place to focus on work or meet up with a friend this is the place!

    Services was good and they desserts we got were great! Great vibe and decent prices. I got the Pecan & Walnut Tart and hubby got Barque Creme Brûlée, they were both delicious!

    Dolgana latte, raspberry tart, and a variety of macarons

    Cute little bakery with aesthetically pleasing treats that are as delicious as they look! I think it's cool how they have weekly specials and switch things up. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Lansing area.

    I can't remember what this was called but it had melty gooey chocolate in the middle! Drool!

    Love, love, LOVED our first visit to Make It Sweet! They have a nice coffee/tea menu and some incredible sweet treats. My favorites were the Oreo brownie and the chocolate raspberry treat. I can't remember what it was called, but I put it in the microwave for 10 seconds and it was awesome. I also loved my Peach Earl Grey with Coconut Jellies. Will definitely be back to try their cakes!

    Amazing Basque Cheesecake!

    My daughter and I had the pleasure of coming across this new Amazing Bakehouse and Cafe called "Make It Sweet". We have been back a few times to try new goodies and have not ever been disappointed. I knew that this place was going to be the place that I order my daughters birthday Cheesecake. I attached pictures of this Fabulous Delicious Cheesecake! Saying it was very good just doesn't give it enough justice. The desserts taste fantastic, the store itself is super clean and Classy. The owners are so very friendly and helpful and they make you feel welcome. I highly recommend this Bakehouse if you are craving Sweets! Make it Sweet!!!

    Everything here is amazing, owners are so nice and sweet , the milk tea is the best I've had in Michigan so far and can't beat their treats either . The place looks so nice and good environment Definitely will be coming soon again

    Wonderful!!!! My fiancé and I went here last weekend and were blown away. I have not hesitated recommending this place to everyone I know, and I am very much looking forward to coming back. If you are reading this and have not tried them, you are absolutely missing out. Thank you for being a wonderful additional to the East Lansing community!

    Banana caramel pudding, green grape tart, and matcha creme americano
    Erin Q.

    I was extremely surprised by this place! I've been living in Los Angeles for a while, where these types of bakeries are plentiful. Was looking for a place with pastries for my birthday and came across this. Having grown up here, I've been to most other bakeries in the area, but they're all heavy and too sweet for my liking, so I decided to give them a try! I got the green grape tart - so pretty and just the right amount of sweetness for me! Also tried the banana caramel pudding (which was on the sweeter side but it's SO GOOD) as well as the matcha creme americano. Also enjoyed that - Believe it's unsweetened which was perfect for me!

    Caramel latte with Banana cream
    Amy L.

    Super cute family owned business. They switch out their dessert menu all the time and introduce new items so I'd check their Facebook page to stay updated. All their food looks really cute and tastes good. Also love their lattes. Wish they were open for more than just a few days of the week.

    Strawberry tart
    Sileana T.

    Very clean little bakery/bubble tea shop. Tried a bunch of things and everything was delicious. The fresh fruit tarts were amazing, the tart shell was fresh and tasted buttery, unlike some other places where it tastes like cardboard. The drinks were really good too. Tried the caramel milk tea and the guava mojito. The mojito was a sparkling/carbonated drink, and was refreshing. The macaroons were amazing and the burnt cheese cake was like a creme brûlée cheesecake, two things that are great separately, but put together is phenomenal.

    Whipped Bakery - Cake we wanted

    Finally! A bakery which has excellent customer service AND excellent baked goods! Other bakeries…read moreboast "old world recipes", too, but too much butter doesn't make it better. I ordered a German Chocolate signature cake and it was beyond delicious! The cake itself was moist and flavorful and the icing was perfect. It wasn't too sweet and was noticeably made from fresh ingredients. I never refuse a piece of cake, so from experience I can say that this German Chocolate cake was the most authentic you'll find in the greater Lansing area. The staff is very professional, helpful, and pleasant. They delivered the cake to my front door at no extra charge and took precautions such as a "no contact delivery." Their prices are reasonable, and moreover, less expensive than their competitors.

    ***Updated Hours later***…read more They brought it back ***Updated literally the next day*** In the companies last ditch effort to control the narrative and avoid any logical complaint they have taken down their review section on their facebook page. The only place to get any info on this company is external sites such as google or yelp. This company doesnt have a BBB site so i have requested to make one via bbb.org to add an additional source so people dont get duped by Whipped Bakery's practice of deleting complaints. This company has tried to smear customers on their facebook page, deletes all reviews that are negative and even blocks accounts on facebook to prevent any kindve negative review. They have crossed a line with the community and are getting farther from getting any sort of respect back. This company in my opinion doesnt deserve business of hard working citizens, not after how i have seen how they conduct said business. ***End of updated section*** Avoid this place in regards to events and poor customer service. Between the staff being extremely unhelpful to an owner that is brazen and rude enough to try and over charge on a kids 5th birthday this isnt a place to do any event with kids of any age. Was advertised on facebook for a great place to do a kid birthday but thats far from truth. The staff was unpleasant - not as in they were extremely rude in the yelling manor but more of the crowd that never smiles and doesnt appreciate life. Doesnt introduce themselves, never gets involved and has a feeling of not wanting to be there. As a crowd that has small children every parent pitched in to clean up and help setup. The space was extremely small and even when told how many people were going to be there nothing was mentioned about how they dont have the seating to accommodate all (total of 8 children and 5 adults) - 6 seats for that crowd, I would think at least get enough for the kids - or better yet - explain to your customer prior that they would have to bring their own seats would be wise in my opinion. This was booked 30+ days in advance. We didnt complain about this when we arrived or left, its something i thought i would add just in case someone likes to deal with these kindve situations even after reading a detailed review. Lets move onto desert. Taste wise, ill give credit where credit is due - not bad, TBH had better for the price but thats not the point. The main point is that when making a unicorn cake whipped bakery missed the mark, even having a very well inspiration photo that isnt over the top. Well, I cant tell if they were purposely slapping us in the face or if it was i giant artistic mistake. After speaking to the manager/owner - im feeling it was both. To explain the major issue - they cant do a unicorn's horn at all... or ears... If you cant do it - please state that before hand instead of trying and making it look like something you would buy from an 'adult super market', if ya know what i mean. Moving onto price. The business was paid a $75 deposit, then prior to the event paid $187 for a cake and cupcakes ($135 for the cake, $42 for 24 cupcakes) after the event we paid the remaining balance for time/space of their floor ($75) and shakes made for everyone ($31 total, $10 for the b-day kid and $3 for the remaining 7 kids) bringing our end checkout $108 and change after taxes - where the issue comes in with price is the owner tried to have her lovely staff charge us ~$170 instead of $108. We had all the receipts to show what was needed to be paid/been paid and was explained to them what was going on but that is when things went real south. After having to listen to the owner huff and puff their stuff on the phone we thought that was the end of it. Unfortunately the owner then took it upon themselves to smear us on facebook. Saying we left things a mess and didn't pay our bill. When rebutted on their comments with class (no yelling, no name calling or being spiteful) comments would be deleted and accounts banned from their page only leaving the handful of praise comments that have no clue of the situation - and now cant be educated on the situation. When someone treats customers of their own community like this it screams volumes at the horrible person they have, and are, continuing to become. To go into detail about the mess - we had 2 out of 50 balloons pop, 1 was a small filled confetti balloon and the other wasn't filled. We picked up what we could and a small amount of confetti was left (all on the floor, none on products/counter tops) . Not done though, again credit where credit is due - we left a balloon group (about, 10 balloons). Now, this was an accident because we were so taken aback on how the staff treated us it was just forgotten - i guess you can say we wanted to get out of that horrible experience and never go back but in our haste forgot a handful of blown up balloons. To be smeared over that is completely unacceptable.

Insomnia Cookie is pretty much, order and take it home if it can make it that far. You can eat inside as it has a little area to eat. They serve ice cream as well! We noticed they had Gluten Free cookies and verified the ingredients. Also, they gave us details on how they cook and handle the cookies. So we were confident in ordering the gluten free cookies. I ordered the Deluxe Peanut Butter Cup Cookie. The warm cookie was delicious walking in the cold back to the hotel. This is a normal go to when we visit Michigan State and now that they serve Gluten Free Cookies that we can have.

    Far superior to Crumbl cookies in my opinion and open way later too! These cookies come in so many…read moredifferent flavors but I'm a simple chocolate chip kinda guy. They're so fresh and gooey and the proper size and texture a cookie should be, unlike their inferior competition! The service always comes with a smile and they'll never judge you for how little or how many cookies you order! As far as the interior goes, it's small and you don't get anywhere to sit but there's plenty of places around the campus to do just that! Also, the fact that it's small in there means that all the good cookie smell is all you can smell haha! Definitely check this place out next time your sweet tooth is in need!
