We desperately needed a birthday cake and there isn't much other options to choose from in this area. We knocked on the door as we saw a lady cleaning inside the store. The lady came out and we told her if there's any cake left, we'll buy it! And there was this beautifully made salted caramel chocolate cake... it was to die for!!! It's got crunchy caramel bits like hokey pokey (New Zealand ice cream flavor) in between layers and it was topped with caramel sauce and chocolate bits. It was so perfect and I wouldn't change a thing! I'll be sure to stop by when they're actually open next time and check out other pastries and baked goods! Thank you so much for selling us your last cake!

I called Sugarplum Cake Co. about a week before my son's 3rd birthday. The employee who took my…read morephone call was really helpful and helped me plan an order of mini cupcakes to take to my son's day care center for his birthday. We kept it pretty simple, vanilla cakes and chocolate icing, but the employee made the best suggestion - mini dinosaur sprinkles! My son loved them and they were a real hit with the kids in his class. I was very pleased with the helpfulness of the staff, the variety of cakes available and the prompt completion of the order (was completely ready for pick-up at our agreed upon time). I'm updating my review, as I've now ordered two birthday cakes from here, one for each of my son's birthdays. For the first, I saw a jungle themed cake on the company's Facebook page and asked them to create something similar for our party. I asked them to make it smaller, asked for specific animals and they were happy to accommodate the requests. The cake turned out more beautiful than I could have hoped for and all the guests commented on how great it tasted as well. On that occasion, I also ordered 10 cupcakes (because it was a party with a lot of 1-year-olds, so they each got their own cupcake). These were delicious as well. Finally, I've just recently ordered again for my other son's fourth birthday. We went into the shop and he got to pick out his decorations (Mickey and Minne Mouse). Again, we just asked for a "Mickey and Minnie" cake and it turned out beautifully. This one was again, super tasty and all the guests loved it. On this occasion, I also ordered one gluten-free cupcake for one of the children in attendance. He loved it! This is now my go-to place for cakes and cupcakes. I've ordered from them 3 times and haven't been disappointed on any occasion.

Most annual hours of bright sunlight on North Island of NZ, and today was GORGEOUS, cool sea breezes, temps mid 20's C. Fine welcome at Crazy Good, helped us with AIR / pumps for the tires, made up F R E S H and delicious coffees, enjoyed at comfy outdoor shady curbside table.

It looked legit and so I decided to check it out. The place is tiny and super cute. They have a little collection of feathers taped to the wall, in a really cool looking way. I wish I could pull off something like that in my house, but there's no way. They really made it work though. There is a little shelving unit off to the left of the shop which houses little coffee accessories for sale. They sell plungers, filters, keep cups. They have most anything you'd need to make a solid cuppa at home, including fresh roasted beans. I ordered a soy capp and my boyfriend got the same. As usual I brought my to-go cup, and the barista had no qualms about it (it's American sized, like 16 oz). The coffee production was quick, but high quality, and the music in the store was vibey and upbeat. I really enjoyed the little store and had a nice little seat in the wire chairs they have by the window, which seem to be there for people who are grabbing to-go cups. The only downside of this visit is that I live too far away to visit again any time soon. I'm obsessed with this place!

It's mainly a cake decoration shop that makes their own fudge, cakes, and cupcakes. There was a wide variety of fudge available within samples given out.

I ordered the Lewis Whittakers Chocolate Overload cake ($137 for a small 6 inch cake) in Hokey Pokey flavour for my father's retirement party. When I received the cake it was chocolate flavour, not hokey pokey. I reviewed all of my email correspondence and there was no mention of a chocolate-flavoured cake in any of the emails. The store representative refused to admit liability for the mistake, even though the emails clearly showed that the order was for a hokey pokey flavoured cake. No apology, no compensation, nothing! Very poor customer service. I will not be returning to The Girl on the Swing in the future or recommending this store others.
