There are cakes and bakers, but no one compares to CAKES BY CARLOS!…read moreThe cake for my husband's birthday was a masterpiece. It was an exact replica of his car, duplicated from the pictures I gave them. The color, details, license plate, the wheels, the cake was amazing. We had the cake displayed on a high table and it was truly a beautiful piece of art. Agnes and Carlos are creative talented artists, they should have their own TV show:) Also, their daily assorted desserts are wonderful and if you ever have a party - you will find eye catching desserts that taste amazing. I want to thank Agnes and Carlos - job well done! My family will be back.....

Whenever I'm in the mood for cupcakes, I always end up at Smallcakes. Their cupcakes are…read moreconsistently delicious, the frosting is AMAZING, and the staff is always so kind and attentive. In fact, the last time I was there, the sweet young lady behind the counter complimented my style, which honestly made this 40-something feel pretty good about herself. Such a small gesture, but it genuinely made my day. I tried to snap a picture of all the cupcakes we got, but the kids devoured theirs before I had the chance. I'm not sure what the chocolate cupcake with the pretzel on top is called, but it is hands-down my absolute favorite. My husband loves the Wedding Cake and Lemon Drop cupcakes. But if you ask Marley and Mary Jane for their opinion... it's definitely two paws up. These two go absolutely crazy anytime they see a Smallcakes box come into the house because they know I brought them a little pup treat too. I love that Smallcakes offers something for the dogs as well -- such a cute touch. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cupcake spot that's both delicious and welcoming.

It's a small shop located in a plaza. It's pretty bare on the inside. I was immediately greeted upon entry and the lady who checked me out was really nice. She showed me my order before I accepted it. Presentation looked great! They had most of their flavors on display as well as other miscellaneous products like dog cupcakes, decor, etc. The quality of the cupcakes were fresh and hefty. Taste was good but nothing amazing.

Granted it was a baby with a mohawk riding a giant carrot, but that is what they wanted. In fact, Gena said she would make wreckplicas for anyone if asked. That sounded pretty cool. Again, as time was short for me, I hadn't asked if she made vegan cakes. If I find out I'll update.

I saw the perfect guitar cake on her website photo album and contacted Gena. Gena is the sweetest, talented and most customizing baker around!! I did all my communicating with Gena through email, she asked for a picture of my (now) husband's favorite guitar he owns so that she can make personally just for him. Additionally, she added an AMP that matched his own one, a real guitar stand, petal and made it all with a turn on switch that lit up the ON button!! We were so shocked, EVERYONE in the restauraunt was asking who and where did I get the cake from!! There are no words for this cake, it was perfection!! The best part is it tasted soooo good too!! Gena can make any flavor, or filling, any design, she is simply the best! Thank you for making my groom SO happy on our special day Gena!!

I used to live in VP - now out of state -- but when I come into town, I often stop to get bakery to take while visiting my family. The selection, quality, and prices can not be beat. I buy strudels, coffee cakes, donuts, pecan rolls - which are my favorites, cookies and sweet rolls and made to order Italian cannoli - which they fill before you pick them up. I so very much miss my home bakery, and I am longing for a pecan roll. Hopefully, I will get some in May when I visit.

I had a hard time deciding on what to get because everything looked amazing. Ultimately I decided on 4 cupcakes- buttery pecan, s'mores, red velvet cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake. All of them were delicious! Very moist and flavorful. The red velvet cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake gave you cupcake with a hint of cheesecake flavor. My favorite was the buttery pecan. It reminded me of buttery pancakes with a little syrup. Great environment with very friendly staff. I will definitely return to try more items.

I spotted CarmieCakes last time I was walking around Downtown Elmhurst, but at that point I had…read morealready gotten sweet treats from Hello Donut, so I stopped myself from overdoing it. This time, I made it a point to pop into CarmieCakes. Unfortunately I got there close to closing, so many of the cupcake flavors were sold out. I only had a few choices, so I went with the French Vanilla cheesecake cupcake. In short, it was a decent cupcake, but not quite outstanding. To be fair, the CarmieCakes cupcake was certainly better than the grocery store variety, and I appreciate that it wasn't overly sweet, but I didn't get any cheesecake flavor or texture. CarmieCakes is not bad. But...I've been spoiled by Molly's center-filled cupcakes. Those are easily my favorite cupcakes. The service was superb and the interior was cute. Pricing was on par with other gourmet cupcake places. Nice to have this option in Downtown Elmhurst.

I don't even know where to begin..I started by messaging Hira as she came recommended to me by some…read morepeople and I thought I would give her a shot for my daughter's upcoming birthday. That was the only time she responded right away. We exchanged ideas and I told her what I needed. No response after that. I said I needed pricing and she said she would get it to me that day before 9pm. Radio silence. I didn't want to keep messaging/bothering her but sent her a few messages regardless because I was waiting. Nothing. Two days later I had to message again because I needed confirmation since I was already "talking" with her. No response again. Now the next day, a little upset, I messaged yet again and said "please let me know if you can't, so I can look around elsewhere and place an order." She responded immediately and said she had a hectic weekend and it was super busy. I understand, totally get it. She finally sent me pricing for cakes and cookies, but we decided to just go with the cookies. She said great and that she would get back to me and let me know which ones she could make etc..I said perfect. STILL WAITING. It's been 9 days since I last heard from her. I didn't even get to look around elsewhere because she left me out to dry. And now it's too late cause I need them this weekend. Look, I know it may not be a big order but I wanted to still give her the business. I felt that because it wasn't a big enough order she kind of just tossed me aside and stopped responding. I'm all about supporting small businesses but not at this rate. Even if she responds now (after seeing this review), I will not be placing any orders or recommending her. The people who did recommend Hira to me got something else coming their way, cause this was a horrible experience. 0 stars if I could

Why does nothing Bundt cakes hire employees who work at the cash register and talk to customers who…read moredo not like and have not tried what they are selling. Trust me, I absolutely love the cakes from here. The problem I have is if you're going to be successful. You also need to have employees who know a thing or two about what they're actually selling. I even asked how long should I keep the cake out for the best experience? Even I know it should probably sit out for 3 hours or so and these girls looked at each other as if I was absolutely crazy asking that question. Please teach these employees about the product that they are selling and if they don't like a flavor, that's fine. You need to have them engaged and talk about what they actually like that they're selling it. Just flabbergasted me. It's almost as if they're looking at me like why are you here? Please leave. Why are you eating this crap? Just an awful experience by the employees you hire. Please retrain your employees who talk to the customers. When I opened my bag to try my cakes a few hours later, the girl gave me the wrong cake.
