Overall 3.5 stars…read more Ordered a cake for a loved one online so they can pick it up and it was fairly seamless process Customer service was excellent via online ordering and communicating, they were responsive and fully communicative about the cake, what to expect, cost etc. so 5 stars for customer service Cake itself: it looks gorges, and it was exactly what I ordered, so in terms of looks it was 5 stars, but in terms of flavor I would say 3.5 stars vs 5, as it was a bit dry, everyone said the same thing and I wish it was a bit more moist. Overall gorgeous cake and a good bakery

It over exceeded my expectations!! They were very friendly over text and email and very responsive. Pick up with smooth and the way the cake was packaged, was perfect for my car ride home. I would highly recommend Minia's for your cake needs!! Note about the pictures...I added the "50th" cake topper myself.

Pick up communication via text was easy, and they have clear instructions on how to find their location. The cake itself was a hit- my friends and family loves the whipped cream frosting and fresh strawberries inside the cake. The vanilla cake was a little dry (although we ate it the day after pick up) but the creaminess of the frosting helped make up for it. Overall delicious and appreciated the quick service and clear communication.

Pros: Cake is great…read more Cons: The owner is extremely rude. There are many people who bake good cakes. Choose one who will also be nice to you :) Also IMO, the cake is expensive (but take this with a pinch of salt as I have not ordered such cakes before). Edited - adding more details: To give you an idea of what it is like communicating with this business, here is the exact timeline of our order: We had a phone call with the owner where we asked her the estimate for a 2 tier cake. We described a cake she had made previously. She said she dint remember the exact cake. We told her we will share a screenshot of the IG image. She said 2 tier cakes start at $350. We told her the date we wanted the cake for and confirmed that we will be making the booking and that we can discuss the details on chat: [My Husband]: Hi [Owner]. We just spoke on the call. Can you give us an estimate for this [Theme] cake? [Owner]: Okay this cake is $375 for the two tier with some Discount. Do you also want the cupcakes? [My Husband]: Yes. I would like to order. What flavor is the cake? Can you make it $350? No we don't need cupcakes. [Owner]: No, I mentioned to you. It starts at $350 and I already gave you a discount. So now the cake can be $400. [My Husband]: Alright. What flavor is the cake? Note: The owner then sent deposit instructions and ignored the question about the flavor. (The next day) [Me]: What flavor is the cake? [Owner]: You can choose two flavors - vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, cookies and cream, marble, funfetti, strawberry. [Me]: Is it per tier? Then let's do chocolate for the big one and vanilla for the small one. [Owner]: Sure. (A few days before the event) [Me]: Hi [Owner]. [Our friend] will pick up the cake on Saturday. Can he come around 4:30pm? He will give you the exact ETA when he is about to leave. Are there any pick up instructions? [Owner]: Hello I am only Home till 1230 pm [Me]: Okay. We (or our friend) will come around 12pm. [Owner]: Thank you! And the cake will be tightly packed and fit into your trunk. Can you message before you head over and remaining is due anytime before pickup thank you! $200. Thanks! [Me]: Yes, we'll venmo you when we come there. [Owner]: Before pickup please then I can pack it up (On the morning of the event) [Me]: Hi. I just sent the rest of the payment. [Owner]: Received thanks! What's your eta? [Me]: 12pm. I can get there by 11 too if you want. [Owner]: 11 would be better if that works [Me]: Sounds good, see you at 11!

Review #196 - 2020…read more I've been trying my best to buy from small local businesses as much as I possibly can since this whole pandemic started. It's sad to see so many small businesses close down due to our politicians's lack of ability to put people before politics. I reached out to Khushboo after seeing her post on Facebook on Tuesday, November 17th, via messenger and she responded very quickly. The item that caught my attention were her cute hot chocolate bombs so I asked to pick some up from her on Thursday, November 19th, in time for my nieces to spend the weekend with us. My 4-year old daughter loves all things chocolate and I don't mind enjoying a cup of hot chocolate every now and then so I decided to order a 4-pack for us to try. I got the "unicorn" for my daughter since she really likes unicorn. Sadly, my daughter prefers milk chocolate over white chocolate so I ended up having to help her finish it. It was a little too much milk for my liking, but I liked the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. I got the "Tea Me Up" for myself since I do enjoy a nice cup of chai latte & it was perfect for the cold weather. Although, I must warn you that it is a little bit spicy. I got the "Chocolala" for my 11-year old niece because she likes all her food/drink to be as plain and simple as possible and this fit her taste perfectly. I got the "Guess Who's Salty" for my 15-year old niece because she loves salted caramel flavor desserts. Sadly, I received a text from her dad that she ended up in the ER for juvenile diabetes type 1--so, she never got to try it & I decided to give it to my 11-year old niece instead. The chocolate bombs are super cute and such a fun idea. They would definitely make a great stocking stuffer. Although, they're a little pricey for everyday consumption so I wouldn't recommend drinking one daily. I asked to have tiny vegan marshmallows added for $0.50/each. Very nice touch! If you ever need some hot chocolate bombs or extremely cute cakes, check out her Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/creamyrainbows.bakery/ Please help support small businesses during this time of hardship!

I tried a couple of her famous flavors before deciding- Neapolitan and an intense chocolate cake (I forget the exact name). Holy cannoli. First we'll talk about the Neapolitan- amazingly clever layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with not-too-sweet strawberry cream. Laurel's cake texture is perfection every time, moist and soft. The flavors were scrumptious. LOVE ON A PLATE. The chocolate which I got for my then fiance's birthday. Delicious, moist chocolate cake with layers of filling- chocolate buttercream (which I would bathe in if given the chance and guarantee that no one would judge me) as well as a light chocolate mousse. It was delicious but not too rich so that I could enjoy my whole piece of cake. I went with the Neapolitan for our wedding cake. It was gorgeous and amazing, beautifully decorated. People said they really liked it, including my sister and she is extremely picky. :P I will be going to Laurel for future cakes! I'll attach pictures when I get a chance. :)

I had trouble getting in contact with the bakery by phone when trying to make a cake purchase. I…read morewas able to get in contact eventually but by that time their cakes were sold out. The store size is as expected of a small bakery. I think due to its cake output and the demand i would recommend calling earlier than later to reserve a cake, but also hope that they pick up the phone. The guava cake did not have very much guava taste. I'm used to the Zippy kind of guava cake and was hoping to experience something similar. The guava cake at this bakery may be a Guam influenced type so keep your expectations in check.
