S'mores, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream
Jennifer N.

FOOD - Cookies & Cream: chocolate cake with cookie and cream frosting, topped with cookie crumbs. The cupcake was moist and not too sweet. 5/5 -S'mores: chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting topped with 3 marshmallows, a piece of Hershey's chocolate and chocolate syrup. This cupcake was a little on the sweet side, though very good still. 4/5 - Strawberry: strawberry cake topped with strawberry frosting, topped with sprinkles. This one was surprisingly the sweetest. A little too much for my liking. 3.5/5 SERVICE: The young lady at the register was friendly. One of the cupcakes got sliced into when she closed the lid, but no big deal. 3.75/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: The cupcakes were all very tasty, though some were more sweeter than others. I wish they would give a break on the price, the more cupcakes you buy. That would encourage me to buy more.

Store closed announcement.

So what's going on with this place?? They close up from out of the blue, but you can place an order 24 hours in advance with a minimum order of 12 cupcakes. I can't eat 12 cupcakes. C'mon, I can do a minimum order of 6 but not 12. Is Small Cakes going to reopen the store eventually or move to another location? I think you should stop selling stuffed animals and sell only bake goods. It was a little odd to have a store full of so many stuffed animals but this little display case of only about 40 cupcakes, if that. Yeah, focus on the bake goods, get rid of the toys and add cakes, pies, brownies and donuts to your menu. More choices means more customers.

I stopped by to pick up some cupcakes for my daughter's birthday. I've driven by hundreds of times and never stopped, I don't know why it took me so long to pop in.... Now that I've tried it, it will definitely be a while before I return. Cupcakes are $4 each, with no break on price until you get to a dozen. Alright, if they're absolutely over-the-top delicious I can see paying that kind of money. I ordered seven different flavours that we shared amongst the seven of us. Most tasted good. A couple were on the dry side. None of them were so scrumptious that I would get back there as soon as possible for more. Bummer, this place is closer to home than Nothing Bundt Cakes; but Smallcakes just doesn't measure up! I think most often I'll drive the extra distance and go with a Bundt cake.

Banana cream and carrot cake

I passed by this store so many times and finally got to try today. I wanted to try their mini cupcakes but they were not ready yet or maybe they are not making them at all...not sure. So I just ordered two reg cupcakes, carrot cake and banana cream. They were both very moist and tasty. Perhaps the frosting was a little too much and it was tad too sweet for me, but I am Asian and we are used to lesser sweet levels. So I think most people would find their cupcakes perfect! The service I received was very nice too. I hope to come back to try their mini cupcakes so I can sample more flavors!

... Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you? I pass by this little cupcakery every weekday at least twice a day and sometimes on the weekends but it was my first time to stop by just recently! Not sure how my sweets radar missed this place and they have plenty of locations all over the U.S.? I stopped by to get a cupcake for my teen... I wanted to surprise her with her favorite flavor, carrot cake! She loved it. I stopped by another time after work, this time I purchased two cupcakes (one for me). I bought one lemon drop and another carrot cake. I had the carrot cake. So soft and moist and delicious with fun decorations! The frosting may be overly too sweet for me, though, but overall yummy. They bake the cupcakes on-site so you know they are fresh. With a variety of yummy flavors, there is something for everyone... if you feel like you came at a time where their display case is running low on cupcakes just ask the friendly staff member and they'll check the back... they might just be getting ready to roll out some more. They are pricey but they are delicious with a decent variety of flavors... I think it's different flavors every day! The place is tiny and immaculate. I don't know how often they make them but they also offer gluten-free cupcakes. Also, Smallcakes appeared on the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" seasons one, two, and seven as well as on the daytime talk show "The View." The shop is located in the Safeway shopping center on Pleasant Grove Blvd / E Roseville Pkwy. It is something like two doors down Safeway. Lots of parking. I've been here twice and I am now currently the Duchess! LoL Review #1308

Fantastic cupcakes! First and foremost these cupcakes are delicious, they are fluffy, moist, fresh and flavorful. I use to have a gourmet cupcake business so I am hyper critical of cupcakes. I feel confident recommending Smallcakes to everyone. I went in and got a dozen for my boyfriends birthday party and they were an absolute hit. We got several flavors including Vanilla, Strawberry, banana, champagne, chocolate eclair, lemon, chocolate marshmallow and maybe a couple others that I can't remember. Every single one was raved about. Everyone was asking where I got these cupcakes from. So thank you Smallcakes for some awesome, adorable and delicious cupcakes!

These cupcakes are super moist and some of the best I've had. They were all consistently good! Food quality and flavor is very high. Lovely flavors too! I recommend!

I shall admit I was skeptical about buying cupcakes from here at first because I had never purchased from this bakery before. I'm glad that I decided to move forward with my thought however! Their were a large variety of flavors to choose from! I purchased 1 dozen for my friends birthday. As soon as I got them home I ate one! The cake was moist on all of the cupcakes. There was not too much frosting. The flavors were great over all I was thoroughly impressed with their flavor selection and great customer service.

It's a consistent product with soft, moist cake, & the flavors are varied and yummy. However, I do find some flavors too sweet for my personal taste. The store is always clean with lots of fun cake & party accessories. There is cute merchandise available to browse. The flavors are well-stocked & displayed nicely. It's usually a very straightforward transaction to make a purchase. We were recently lured in to try the limited time Dubai Chocolate flavor. The lady who helped us was friendly & chatted a little more than we usually experience with customer service. We got a couple of Dubai (Chocolate Chocolate Chip cake filled with pistachio cream and phyllo mixture, topped with chocolate ganache cream cheese frosting and gold sprinkles) & a Chocolate Chocolate Chip. Both cake flavors are delicious and indulgent. The chocolate ganache frosting on the Dubai was a nice change from the regular cream cheese. The amount of pistachio mixture was fairly small, just a core that filled the center hole area. Overall, this spot remains a nice stop for a sweet treat to take with you. It's definitely a crowd pleaser at parties.

Sarah was SO responsive and was able to accommodate a pretty last minute request. And on top of that, we then changed our mind about the kind of cake we wanted. I would have understood if she turned us away, but she didn't! She made it happen. She also doesn't make one of the desserts we were looking for but was kind enough to refer me to where I could find it. I was already impressed with and grateful for the great service, but the VIP clients I ordered the cheesecake for said it was to die for! I can't wait to try one of her creations myself. We will absolutely be using Mad Batter for our next cake order in the Sacramento area. Thank you, Sarah!

I ordered a custom birthday cake and paid $117 upfront through Zelle…read more After I sent the payment, the owner informed me she no longer had access to that Zelle account. She said she would contact her bank and still confirmed my order. Just two days before my daughter's birthday party, the owner told me her family had norovirus and offered to either make the cake or cancel with a full refund. I appreciated her honesty and chose to cancel since the cake would be served to many children. Having to find a replacement cake only two days before the party caused me a great deal of stress, a parent planning a large birthday celebration, this added unnecessary pressure during an already busy time. Despite that, I remained understanding because I knew her family's illness was beyond her control. The owner asked for other ways to refund me, I sent her my Venmo information and she promised my refund would be sent "in the next couple of days." More than a week later, I still have not received my $117 refund despite multiple polite follow-up messages. I also contacted my bank, but they explained they couldn't dispute the payment because it was successfully sent to her Zelle account. Since the recipient banks with a different financial institution, they couldn't investigate what happened after the funds were received. What frustrated me the most throughout this experience was the lack of communication. I never knew if or when I would receive a response. Sometimes I had to follow up just to get an update, and now my messages have gone unanswered altogether. A simple update would have gone a long way. I understand emergencies happen, and I genuinely appreciated the owner's honesty about her family's illness. However, promising a refund, acknowledging the payment issue was their responsibility and then failing to communicate or issue the refund has been very disappointing. As of today, more than a week after she promised to send my refund, I am still waiting to receive it and have not received any communication from her. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this bakery at all.

The shop is set up in an interesting way where you enter through the produce section and snake around to the main shopping area. I thought this was cool at first but realized the way they have it set up to get back to produce you either have to go past the cash registers (which I think they don't want) or loop back around to get up front again. I typically like picking up produce last so it's on the top of my cart/basket so I ended up heading back that way at the end. The rest of the shopping visit was pretty typical and I loved the selection of items they had. I ended up picking up some cheeses, yogurt, noodles, and grapes during this visit. The prepared section did look nice, and if I hadn't already eaten lunch I would have grabbed something here. The staff member who helped me was friendly too.

She is so kind and genuinely cares about your experience with her. Over the last year, I have ordered 3 cakes. 1 was a wedding cake for my sister's wedding, and the other 2 were birthday cakes. I love each cake I have ordered. All I've done is share flavor profiles of interest and an inspiration picture of what I am looking for, and when I get the cake, it is beyond my wildest dreams.. To book with here is easy. She has a website where you can input the dates and inspiration photos. She will contact you by email to confirm or answer any questions you have, and once everything is finalized, she will send you an invoice. Her price is generous for the amount of work she puts into her cakes. For the 3 cakes I've ordered, I've also gotten delivery with them. She will communicate and confirm everything before delivery. I am beyond thankful I found her because she truly is the best. For the last 2 delivered cakes, she also provided some leftover pastries she made. I got to sample her millionaire shortbread (absolutely delicious), her oatmeal cookies, brownies, and carrot cake loaf. For the 2 birthday cakes I ordered, they were white cake with cinnamon buttercream frosting. OMG, to die for. It's so moist and not too sweet. The cinnamon is not overbearing and adds a nice razzle dazzle to the cake. The wedding cake was a 2-tier cake, with one layer being red velvet with cream cheese frosting and the other being white cake with cinnamon frosting and vanilla buttercream frosting on the outside. It was a hit; there was some leftover cake after the wedding, and people immediately found a box to take it home. None of her frosting tastes artificial. You can tell she uses quality ingredients. I love her work and her delicious cakes. I recommend Stacie 1000 times over!
