The guests RAVED about them and took multiple per person and took pictures because of how beautiful they were! Holly and her team were amazing and supper communicative. They accommodated all of our requests for designs and even put the event logo on some of the pops, and everything turned out amazing.

Don't let the gorgeous presentation fool you: this place routinely serves up beautifully styled,…read moreinedible garbage. It's an absolute waste of your time and hard-earned money. If you are buying a cake, you expect it to actually taste good, not just look like a prop. Unfortunately, the stunning exterior is just a cover for dry, flavorless, or downright terrible baking. To make matters worse, any attempt to engage with the owner is met with a masterclass in passive-aggressive, condescending nonsense. If you can't handle basic feedback about your products, don't run a business. Save your money and go somewhere where the food actually matches the aesthetic and the customer service doesn't come with a side of attitude. Steer clear.

NOTHING BUNDT CAKES @ KIRKLAND…read more Parking is available right out front, and there is plenty of space for customers. Since this location is surrounded by other businesses in a shared shopping area, finding a parking spot is usually pretty easy. This Nothing Bundt Cakes location has been in Kirkland for several years, and I've visited quite a few times whenever I'm in the downtown Kirkland area. My personal favorite is the Confetti Bundt Cake, but I also love trying their seasonal flavors. They always seem to have something unique and fun available. Their individual Bundt cakes are typically around $10, which I think is well worth it for the quality and taste. One of the best perks is their birthday program. If you sign up, you can receive a free Bundt cake on your birthday, which is always a nice treat. The staff here are consistently friendly, and the service is excellent. Overall, I'd highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a delicious dessert or a sweet treat while you're in the area.

SWEET CAKES @ Downtown Kirkland…read more Cupcakes are so adorable! Great flavors and definitely recommend stopping by this spot if you're in downtown Kirkland. Parking can be a hassle, i'd recommend parking next to UPS store as the plaza is free and available. Service could've been better, the girl who was helping was mostly kind but didn't really help or suggest any of her favourites or popular ones. However, still had an easy time to look over the items through the glass, and the help of Yelp was great for opinions! The cream frosting is loaded to the top, so if you really enjoy cream frosting this is the spot! Overall, definitely wish they also added more toppings to the top, like the red sprinkles, some are added more on one than the other. Ambiance was bright, a good place for a cupcake place.

While the shop was a bit small, the treats and service were great. We tried cupcakes, cookies, and…read morebars. All delicious. The chocolate peanut butter bar alone was worth the price of admission. We look forward to visiting again when we're in the area.

Oh my goodness, if you get anything at DERU, GET THE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE PLEASE…read more It's been a few weeks since I've gotten it and I still think about that cake. (I haven't justified buying a whole cake for myself, but I truly want to--and am tempted to do so) The food is great and I'd love to go back. I went on a Monday, so it wasn't as busy as it would be on the weekend. The servers are kind, and you typically order from a QR code unless you're having a hard time (and they'll help you!). Quiet space. Some parking available on site but it can get busy on the weekends from what I've heard.

Cute little place with good food and informal setting. Their dishes are pretty nicely thought out…read morebut oftentimes a number of them will be "out of stock" even leading into dinner time, but this is understandable if that's because they're aiming for freshness. What is not so great is that they've replaced human interaction and paper menus with a QR code based menu (annoying but becoming more common) and the only way to order is also through your phone (this is the part that is not common and really sucks). Been to DERU twice. First time my phone wouldn't let the order submit after polling everyone to put what they wanted into the "cart". Eventually some poor fellow who worked there had to use his little iPad and we all had to repeat ourselves to recreate the order after we'd already done the exercise on my phone. Second visit same thing- this time we had to recreate the order a few times on different peoples phones in our party until one of them could finally submit the purchase, and then they immediately started getting emails they weren't expecting as an outcome, their cell phone number was on our order ticket- so beware when you think you're just providing your credit card info- you're actually giving much more than that. We gathered for dinner to spend quality time together in real life and to get away from our phones but because of DERU's ordering system we instead spent the first 20 minutes of our dinner all on our phones. Then during the meal people would finish their glass of wine and want another- phone comes back out! This happened throughout the meal because, shockingly, people don't finish their glasses of wine at the same time, so all in all someone was pretty much on their phone close to the entire meal. Quite antithetical to the goal of human interaction and enjoying a nice dinner together. If they got rid of this ridiculous phone based menu and ordering system I would double my rating AND my tip. But at this point I may not come back for awhile.

I stopped by Lady Yum last night and had such a great experience. The girl helping me was…read moreincredibly kind, welcoming, and patient while I picked out flavors. Everything looked beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked. I tried the toffee, salted caramel, honey lavender, oatmeal snickerdoodle, and strawberry rhubarb macarons. The honey lavender was light and floral without being overpowering, and the strawberry rhubarb had the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The salted caramel and toffee flavors were rich and indulgent, and the oatmeal snickerdoodle tasted warm and cozy with a cinnamon sugar flavor that stood out from the others. The macarons were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly textured. Definitely one of the best macaron spots locally!

We ordered Raspberry Chardonnay macaron and a Rose bubbly and chocolate macaron and Brut. She was so friendly and served us. The place is so cute with cute little things around.

I can't recommend Ashley's Sugar on Top Bakery enough! Her cakes and cupcakes are absolutely…read moreamazing, and she puts so much love and care into everything she makes. I've used her for so many special occasions, including my wedding, my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary, and even my dog's first birthday party (she made cupcakes for the humans, too! ). No matter the occasion, Ashley always delivers something delicious and beautiful. She's become my go-to for celebrating life's sweetest moments, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing bakery. If you're looking for delicious treats made with love, Ashley is your girl!

I'm so happy I chose Ashley to design and bake the cakes for our engagement and birthday…read morecelebrations. So many people kept coming up to me and complementing the cakes and the cupcakes. Ashley was super helpful and designing the cakes and offering unique concepts. When I first reached out, she responded very quickly and we were able to hop on a call and design the cakes from A-to-Z she's very knowledgeable about how much cake you'll actually need as well as trending designs. She was very good at communicating and I thought her cakes were very well priced. She takes a lot of extra care and boxing the cakes and cupcakes. The service was very professional.

FogRose is known for its refined desserts and craft cocktails, but it also offers impressive dishes considering the price range. I especially appreciate that they feature wines from small local wineries such as Whitman Hill Winery; their 2022 Garage Caliper Cabernet Sauvignon was particularly interesting. FogRose is becoming my third place.

For a few months it seemed there were signs on the door with different open/close times and the other few times it's been completely booked for reservations.

Given the difficulty in getting in, I'd recommend going up the street to Lady Yum where you can always find a table and get a glass of champagne with a macaron for $5!

What a delightful shop! They have all kinds of fun sweets - cupcakes, brownies, bars, cookies, cake…read morepops! They even make fancy cakes for special events; ie: weddings. I settled on a chocolate peanut butter covered sandwich cookie, a S'more cupcake, and a key lime cheesecake. The gal who helped me was kind and helpful. Everything we had was delicious. I will definitely pop in again for more treats soon. I like that they are open until 5pm on weekdays. Bakeries tend to close on the earlier side and it's nice to have them as an option. It was an unexpected surprise to find this lovely shop in Kenmore - I'm so glad I did!

I tried the cookie cream cupcake, Oreo cupcake, and the double chocolate cake. Overall, I think the…read moreprices are very reasonable, especially if you're looking for a small cake or an individual dessert. The cakes were fresh and offered good value for the price. However, they were much sweeter than I prefer. Out of everything I tried, the double chocolate cake was my favorite because it had the richest flavor. My only complaint is the sweetness. I wish there were an option to make the frosting or cream less sweet, as that would have made the desserts much more enjoyable for my taste. Overall, it's a good spot if you have a sweet tooth and are looking for reasonably priced cakes.

These ladies are so kind! I know nothing about cakes or what to do, and they were able to put together my vision perfectly! If I have another party, this is the bakery I would go to. So professional, kind, and did a great job! The cake showed up without any issues. I am sorry to Kaitlyn you had a harder experience - you sound like the bad experience I had with the florist! Seriously give them a chance everyone loved the cake!

I am so angry!!! I placed a cake order WEEKS ago and when I show up, they are closed! Closed before…read moretheir posted hours, might I add. I didn't receive a call OR email indicating that they would need to close so now I get to show up to a birthday party that I AM HOSTING without a cake. Do not order from here. I'm including a photo with a time stamp showing they are prematurely closed for whatever reason WITHOUT INFORMING ME. Unacceptable. I am also attaching photos of the email that includes when I was to pick up the cake, along with their confirmation with ZERO update on closure. I left work early to pick up this cake. Complete waste of TIME, MONEY AND GAS.

Called Heidi last week about doing a simple mini cupcake order for my wife at her office. I chose…read moreCosa Dolce because they were local to the Kirkland area and their offerings beat the cost for bigger named cupcake places in both the cupcakes and the delivery cost. I chatted with Heidi on what I was looking for, nothing dramatic, pretty simple and let her choose the flavors of the mini cupcakes due to popularity and simplistic for an office setting. Heidi gave her suggestions and also offered to throw in a card. The cupcakes were delivered to my wife's office today and I must say for a small operation that Cosa Dolce is they blew me away with everything they did. To top it off, Heidi even put a candle in the package. The cupcakes were super soft and moist, the frosting is fantastic! a perfect balance. 10 out of 10 would recommend and order again.
