Vanilla cupcakes filled with raspberry jam and topped with vanilla buttercream
Lori T.

Alissa is such a great communicator and of course an amazing baker. I was so happy with the outcome of my order which was two dozen elegantly simple cupcakes for my 30th birthday. They were moist, not overly sweet, and beautiful. Initially I wanted a different design and flavors that weren't on the menu and Alissa was open to accommodating. I appreciated it a lot! I ended up changing my order and she was very flexible. Pick up with very smooth, Alissa was fun to talk to. I will definitely be ordering from her for future events and gifts. I loved supporting her small business and hope to see it grow!

Spacemen on the moon chocolate Birthday cake with chocolate buttercream.
Angela M.

Delicious! This creative chocolate Spacemen on the Moon custom designed cake was too much fun! The baker is friendly, creative and accommodating.

Mini creme brulee desserts
Elia N.

All of our guests loved the mini creme brulee's. Ordered three different flavors and guests loved trying and comparing the three. Was a very delicious and beautiful dessert item to add to the party, wish we had ordered more items from Mini Desserts! Quick and easy communication to order and pick up.

She makes the best desserts and very accommodating. I called her on Monday for a Friday order and she was kind enough to take such a last minute order. The desserts were so delicious and a big hit.

Awesome cake! The cake looked amazing and Alissa was very responsive and helpful! Thank you for making my finance's birthday memorable!

a blue and white cake
Tracy V.

The cake and cupcakes were beautifully decorated the way I had asked. Alissa responded to requests quickly and was easy to communicate with. I didn't get to taste the dessert beforehand, but the cake was delicious and moist. I received a lot of compliments regarding the cake. I didn't get to try the cupcake the day of the event, but it tasted dry the next day. The cake was still moist even a week after probably because of the layer of cream inside. Her prices were reasonable compared to other bakers I had contacted on Yelp. I would use her services again in the future. A few of our guests also asked for her business.

Chocolate dipped strawberries
Rochelle S.

Amazing service and goodies from Alissa! I ordered 2 dozen the chocolate dipped strawberries that spelled out Happy Birthday and a name. She surprised me and offered to include pipettes with liquor! So of course the treats were a hit! They were soo delicious. Super fast with communication and delivery. Will definitely be ordering from her again in the near future.

Custom 21 tart cake

We're so glad we found Mini Desserts Catering! Alissa created a 21 tart for our niece. We got so many compliments on the tart cake. Alissa was able to create a cake based upon the colors and theme that we requested. She was so easy to work with and I appreciate that she offers different designs that vary on pricing. She helped make our nieces bday so special! We highly recommend the beautiful and delicious tart cakes.

Mickey Mouse themed cupcake.
Ali S.

We were very happy with Alissa's cupcakes that she made for our daughter's birthday party. We brainstormed with her on a Mickey Mouse themed cupcake and texted her some photos we had in mind. The order was ready on time and the end result was exactly what we had hoped for. She even made edible white "buttons" that she attached to the cupcake wrapper. The cupcakes were the most delicious we've had, which was echoed by all the attendees. The best part was the frosting, which was true buttercream made from scratch- not overly sicky sugary sweet like most cupcakes bought at a store or large bakery. Very highly recommend Alissa!

Harry Potter cake
Helen Y.

Very prompt and very talented! I just said we'd love a Harry Potter cake and send a couple of inspo photos and left it up to her aristry and she DELIVERED! Also...the cake was delicious...so many compliments from party guests on the yummy cake. Thank you!!

Red velvet and chocolate cupcakes

I was looking for ordering custom cupcake and small cake for my kids birthday which was only a week away. I contacted 3-4 bakeries and Alissa was first to respond. She was detail oriented and ask me everything about the cake from flavor, fillings, frosting and design. The price were very reasonable compared to other bakers. She also suggested other designs to best fit with my birthday theme. I ordered chocolate and red velvet cupcakes and both were delicious. Not much sugar and everyone loves them. We asked her to make 4inch chocolate cake with raspberry and edible image for birthday and it was so good. I am going to order more cakes from her.

Loved the deserts for our kid's birthday party. They look very beautiful and very tasty. All the guests liked them and left very positive reviews. Allisa is very prompt and spot on. Strongly recommend SD mini desserts! Thank you Alissa.

Kay F.

Got this one for a family party the past weekend, still thinking about how amazing it tasted. It was adorable, and very refreshing. The layers of the lemon filling in between the cake layers was memorable. Haven't have a cake taste like this in a very long time. I will definitely order from here again. Also the owner is very nice and sweet. Thank you for the amazing dessert!

Locals and foodies know about this place. The only challenge here is finding parking…read more There is a paid parking lot south on Union street and that is only a 5-minute walk including the wait at the stop light. This place sells itself. If you want to have an amazing dessert experience this is the place! There is another location north of this location about a 7-minute drive but there are not as many tables. The same inventory but the parking is even more limited. The ordering workflow can be confusing at this location but here's how it works. The line on the left lets you view the dessert display that line will get you to the cashier but patrons think the line starts at the cashier. It does not, it can be confusing. I recommend having one person in your party stand in line near the register and have another party stand in line near the dessert display case on the left side. Swap places with your party if they want a better visual of the desserts. The coffee, tea and lemonade are good here, just be patient with your order it's a process here but the wait is worth it. Enjoy!

Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a simple and enjoyable sweet treat turned into a really…read moreunpleasant experience because of the extremely poor service we received. This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

If you're waiting in line or making the trip out, I'd highly recommend adding a cake or pastry to your order. We came on Saturday around 11:30am and there was a line outside that took about 30 minutes to get in. While we were waiting, we saw parking enforcement come around a few times so make sure that you pay the meter! The inside is soo cute! We ended up staying here for a bit and studying because it was super spacious and cozy. There is a lot of seating in the front and back and even outside too! A lot of people were there working as well. There are plenty of outlets available so that was nice. If you do plan on studying/working, just bring noise cancelling headphones cuz it does get loud. The biscoff matcha latte was pretty sweet and the matcha flavor was not that strong but it was definitely a dessert more than a drink. Their cakes are pretty great too, I don't like cake but their cakes are worth trying. I liked the banana dessert the best though, it was like a banana pudding. My bf did say it was too sweet and he has a big sweet tooth, but I preferred that over the cake!
