People seemed to like them, I tried the lemon; There was a good lemon flavor, I wish it was a little more moist and a little less sweet. But I'm not much of a sweet tooth so maybe just me.

I liked that it was easier than getting a cake; People could enjoy what flavor they wanted, no knives, forks or plates needed.

Super cutesy vibe and pretty delicate desserts. Almost reminds me of Nothing Bundt Cake interior with merch, candles, gifts, flowers.

I got the earl gray lavender cupcake and black sesame matcha Hojicha drink and lychee hibiscus tea drink. The cupcake was moist, not too sweet, had some grittiness to it from the seeds. Tasted the earl gray and lavender combo. It was delicious, I could have ate the entire thing but had to share the other half. There were a few tables outside but none inside.

To me, it tasted very similar to a flavored hazelnut latte from Starbucks. Even with reduced sweetness, it was still sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor. If you enjoy flavored Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably like it, but it's just not my personal preference. I actually didn't finish my drink because the flavor wasn't for me. That said, the cashier was very sweet, and the dessert display looked beautiful and tempting. While the coffee didn't win me over, I'd still come back to give their desserts a try since they looked much more appealing than the drink I ordered. Overall, a nice spot with friendly service, but next time I'll be skipping the flavored coffee and trying one of the desserts instead.

Very cute inside, with some Strawberry Shortcake theme decor. Unfortunately first impression with the service was not very good. The person seemed very unenthusiastic, didn't smile, or seem welcoming. It's possible we just went on and off day. Since we were there I did get some of the mini cupcakes to try. One was a Snickers chocolate cupcake and the other was a Strawberry Shortcake cupcake. They both tasted good, but nothing really spectacular that I would have to go back for. The Snickers one tasted basically like a regular chocolate cupcake with a miniature sneaker placed on top. The Strawberry Shortcake one had some type of strawberry crumble on top which was good. I would say that was my favorite of the two. If you come on Tuesday they are $2 for the cupcakes, so something to keep in mind. They have a variety of other desserts and even drinks as well. They have caramel apples, Sundays, different cakes, Etc. If you're already in the mall it might be worth the quick peek to see if anything appeals to you. If anything just for a few cute photo ops.

Moochie Pops really is awesome. It seems rare to find a confectioners shop that delivers on both taste and aesthetics, but MP does both amazingly well. I have been to multiple events that served their deserts, and every time I find myself "sneaking" another item each time I pass the display table. They are also very easy to work with. I have talked to Mary multiple times to request very specifically designed items, and she is always happy to help with whatever the request may be. My sister is having a gender reveal for her soon to be twins, and, while we have not quite figured out what we are going to do, MP is very excited to help us make the event special. I highly recommend Moochie Pops to add a little "special" to your next event. read more

Big fan of Moochie Pops! Mary the owner is amazingly talented and super creative individual. Making signature cake pops to macarons and beyond, everything she does is wonderfully crafted and I can see there is 110% effort put into each creation. Mary had made cakepops and these mini tarts at my wedding and the guests as well as myself absolutely loved them! Everything I have ordered has looked and tasted delicious every time. Would highly recommend Moochie Pops for any of your baking requests/personalized desserts. read more

I've ordered multiple cakes from Daisy Cakes over the last year for some of our family's most special occasions--including my daughter's first birthday, my sister-in-law's 60th celebration, and my husband's 50th birthday--and every single one has exceeded our expectations. Not only are the cakes absolutely stunning and customized down to the smallest detail, but they also taste incredible. That's something that's hard to find because so many beautiful custom cakes look amazing but fall short on flavor. Daisy Cakes delivers both every single time. The attention to detail, creativity, professionalism, and consistency are unmatched. She truly listens to your vision and brings it to life in a way that's even better than you imagined. Daisy Cakes has become my go-to baker for every special occasion, and I recommend her without hesitation. If you want a cake that will wow your guests and actually be the first dessert to disappear, look no further. You won't be disappointed!

I have plenty of communication back and forth to substantiate how accommodating I have been and how many times they have continued to drop the ball and make up excuses for their service. 1) I first offered to come back and pick up the cake flavors I requested just to find out Violet Cake Co didn't have one of the flavors ready (She did not offer to overnight it to me, she did offer to deliver it to me Tuesday-which I stayed home to accommodate that request) 2) I stayed home FROM MY JOB to wait for a delivery of the missing samples that was promised between 12-2 for Violet Cake Co to first: confirm my address VIA EMAIL at 1pm that I already provided... an interesting choice in method of contact when I have provided my phone number. Only for the cake to never arrive. 3) I was told it would be overnighted to me the next day. (Surprise that didn't happen) 4) Apparently there was not a cold pack ready and was told I would receive it Thursday morning (via FedEx so I'm not sure why the owner is saying her delivery person had it in the car Thursday?) All the screenshots are there for you. 5) Here we are on Thursday, no communication and still no cake sample. I submitted a dispute with my bank on the purchase and was refunded instantly. The saddest part is they DO have delicious cake and I am sure if everything goes right they are probably great to work with. However, the major problem I am seeing is when things go wrong, they don't have the customer service to make it right. If they couldn't follow through with delivering it, WHY OFFER?! I would have just as quickly agreed to a partial refund and redoing the cake tasting the following weekend with their normal pick ups. They just kept offering things they couldn't deliver on. And then attacked me in their comment to this review like a true professional. It speaks for itself. Brides beware
