Nice selection of flavors (vanilla, carrot, red velvet). My husband had the cinnamon bun AND peanut butter cookie and loved them both. Very pleasant service.

My first order from Racquel was back to 2019. Since then, I've ordered birthday cakes/cupcakes each…read moreyear for my two children who studied in Cornell. Racquel's cake is delicious and designed with a true artist's touch. She's very easy to talk to when I wanted to customize it. Her ordering process is also very straightforward, getting back to me quickly after the online form is submitted. We are from Texas. Racquel's business is truly a blessing to families like us and helps us to stay close to the important days with our children when they are thousands of miles away from home. Thank You Racquel for all the beautiful cakes and moments. I highly recommend this business!

We got our wedding cake and cupcakes from Sinfully Delicious and they were stunning and delectable!…read moreRaquel was great to work with as we nailed down our flavors and numbers, and multiple guests told us that this was the best dessert they'd ever had at a wedding. Our cake was cardamom sponge with lemon curd and lemon meringue buttercream, and my spouse, who has very high standards for baked goods, said that they could not have imagined having a better cake. Truly a fantastic experience.

Home-made soft-serve and sorbet! Great flavors!…read more We found Sweet Melissa's Ice Cream shortly after lunch. (Jul 2026) We had to try their ice cream bars: homemade lemon chocolate chip ice cream, with a coat of crumbled lemon cookies, half-dipped in homemade dark-chocolate shell! Clever and delicious! We also had a dish of homemade Blueberry Guava sorbet! Intense red-purple color and sweet frozen flavor! Great summer treats! We ate faster than they melted :-)

Cute seasonal ice cream spot in Ithaca!…read more Located in downtown- the line can get pretty long in the evenings- even on weekdays. Cash only so be prepared. I am partial to soft serve but have tried both their hard icecream and soft serve. I prefer their soft serve but wish they had more flavors. I tried the classic chocolate twist and the two berry twist soft serves. In the two berry twist, I didn't like the pink flavor- it was too icy and more like a sorbet/dole whip than true soft serve. I liked the purple flavor thought! Overall, I still frequent Sweet Melissa's for softserve close to Cornell! Would recommend!

Mama Said Hand Pies | Ithaca, NY…read more One of my favorite local food spots in Upstate New York near Cornell University! Mama Said Hand Pies is a cozy local spot in Ithaca serving handmade savory and sweet pies made with locally sourced ingredients and baked fresh daily. Sausage Gravy, Egg & Cheddar Pie (Recommend ) Filled with chicken sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and white cheddar wrapped in an incredibly flaky, buttery pastry crust. The crust had a rich buttery flavor without feeling greasy, and the savory filling made every bite so comforting. Mushroom Pie (Recommend ) Packed with sautéed mushrooms and served with a green sauce on the side. Honestly, I didn't even need the sauce because the pie was already flavorful on its own. Pepper Jack Beef Pie Filled with ground beef, pepper jack cheese, and curry-like spices. This one wasn't my personal favorite, but my husband really enjoyed it!

Tried these at the farmer's market! Very yummy!…read more We tried the blueberry one with lemon icing and the spanakopita. The blueberry one was piping hot. Honestly these were both really good. the crust wasn't soggy and I liked trying both a sweet and a savory hand pie. I have also tried the mushroom oaxaca one which is my favorite! Overall, I would recommend!
