After…read moretrying a variety of her baked goods, I can honestly say it will be worth the drive to try one of her cupcakes as they surpass any I have ever tried, locally or otherwise. And I have tried many a cupcake! She makes all the standard flavors that are to die for and also some newer hip flavors that I'm dying to try. Recently she made a cupcake with pancake batter and bacon pieces on top that sounds amazing from her husband's mouth watering review. Anyhow, she'll sell at her retail location and also be doing large quanities for events such as weddings, baby showers, etc. If you get out to try em... Enjoy!

It is always very colorful inside the shop and they do have seating options. Sometimes the amount of options can be overwhelming so make sure you take your time to review all of the options before ordering. They also have cookies in addition to cupcakes and you can order cakes ahead of time. I recommend you go earlier as they don't replace the flavors that sell out for the day.

From the buttery graham cracker crust to the rich, creamy filling and that bright cherry on top, every bite was a sweet little moment of joy. The flavor was spot on--sweet but not overly sugary, and the texture was perfectly smooth. Presentation is a big win here too. The dessert came tucked into a cute little box that made it feel like opening a gift. You can tell there's real thought put into how they serve their treats. The only reason this isn't a full 5 stars? The wait was just a bit longer than expected, and we would've loved more variety available at the time we visited. But honestly, that cheesecake alone was worth it. Whether you're strolling downtown or just craving something sweet, Designer Desserts is a fun and flavorful stop worth it

We pulled in and it appeared dead. No cars or customers. The day we went was a normal work day. It was open. We walked in and no one was behind the counter. And in the counters were no displays of their baked items. I checked the closing time thinking that they were cleaning up for the day earlier but it was to be open for another couple of hours. We waited for about 10 minutes to see if anyone was gonna come out. I yelled "Hello?" a couple of times. Nope. We left. Ended up going to Jewels bakery instead. Ugh.

It has like a raspberry buttercream and raspberry cake flavor. I did really like that one. The crème brûlée was also good. It was filled inside as well. My only complaint is be careful when you are eating the decorations (sprinkle balls) on top of the pink champagne cupcake. One of them actually cut my gums a little when I bit down.

I got the last caramel banana pudding (there was regular and I believe another flavor) Fantastic!! Between my husband and I this didn't last the night. I narrowed my cupcake choice to 3- toffee caramel, butterfinger and Dutch apple. Moist and delicious and creamy frosting OMG. It tasted as the title described and not too sweet or fake flavored in the least. I was stunned when I walked in as I wasn't expecting what was before my eyes. The owner was friendly and gave me the run down. They also have minimal ice cream flavors for winter but she said more in the warmer months. I will be back sooner than later and it is worth the extra gas I will use!
