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.

My go to use to be Whole Foods Chocolate Explosion Cake, moist, not too sweet, & always tasted the same. Then WF was bought by Amazon and the quality went down hill. I checked out Nugget and various other bakeries from the east coast to the west coast and nothing satisfied. Some were too sweet. Others were too dry. I was getting ready to just live with a cake craving that would never be satisfied, until Tous Les Jours. I had the Mocha Cloud Cake. DAMN! Upon first bite I was instantly impressed and satisfied.

She then tells me, we'll itll be a little tight with all the pastries but ill try. (WTF kind of response was that?) She then totals my transaction and finalized it. Then she asks if I just brought the sweet potato loaf just now. And im over here standing in front of her the entire time. So I had to pay again. Cool. So you've given a paying customer attitude and you look like ive inconvenienced you coz you now have to make 2 drinks. I will take my $45 elsewhere. To the owners/franchisers of this bakery- do something about it -retrain or replace. If yall are gona use gloves, make sure you have then replace their gloves after they've touched non-food items. Ole girl got my bread in the bag, touched the iPad, made our freakin drinks without changing gloves.

Right when you walk in, the sweet aroma of fresh baked sweets welcomed you in. There was a good crowd inside which we thought were waiting to order but found out they were waiting for the fresh baked sweet bread. A must if you ever try any. Just looking through the case of all the amazing creation. Basically fancy donuts. One after the other. They also had a few savory items included. Didn't get any but they looked amazing. We ended up going with the bad bundles. Half dozen donuts and 20 piece staxx. Found out that's what people were waiting for when we walked in. Everyone was waiting for them to come fresh out of the oven hence the long wait. It did take a while for us but we were offered a cookie to try while waiting. It was delicious, I do recommend the ube cookies. After what did take a long while, we tried our fresh HOT box of staxx. Let me say, wow they were amazing and of course hot. Straight from the oven. Nice moist bread with a nice sweet glaze. I can see what the hype was about with them. Everyone in line for them. We didn't get a chance to try the donuts right away. By the time we had them, it had been sitting for a while. Still good but better if they were fresh from the start. It was good regardless and this place was great. The staxx, would definitely get again.

The bread is deliciously soft and glazed with just the right amount of sugar. I think it's a great…read moreaddition to brunch with some jam.

Drinking 3/4 of a regular-sized cup carried me through the whole day! Taste-wise, pretty good as well and actually reminded me of pumpkin pie lol. Quite noticeable pumpkin flavor, and the brew itself gave a smooth and toasty flair (like the crust part of a pumpkin pie :p). Another seasonal drink that I tried was the pumpkin cold foam chai, and it pretty much was like a melted milkshake with a little bit of chai flavor lol. Didn't notice much pumpkin at all. Too milky for my liking, but if you're a fan of Starbucks Frappucinos, then this might be the seasonal drink for you. As for the desserts here, I enjoyed the eclair (nicely assembled and had smooth and rich dark chocolate on it) but was disappointed on the fruit tart (the fruit toppings were vibrant and plump, but the custard was missing a strong vanilla taste and I wasn't a fan of the egg-white-based crust that ended up sticking to the foil cardboard base). Friendly staff. Super cozy cafe vibes especially with the pothos houseplants (so cute that water propagations of cuttings are table decor). Ample lot parking.

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.
