My company orders monthly for birthday celebrations within the office. The cupcakes come in a variety of flavors, though I find very sweet for my preference. Love how they are packaged as they are nestled safely for transporting. Overall, a solid choice of cupcakes is your thing. I can't speak to ambiance as I've never been in the location.

This is the cake I picked up for my 21 year old college student.

Super disappointed!! I spoke with Christian over a month in advance about a 21st birthday cake for my son. I explained that I loved the cakes that I have seen with the various different alcohol bottles and the Barbie doll pouring over the toilet. I asked if he could ADD a decorative THC leaf or joint (without losing the original theme) He said yes, no problem. What I got was ridiculous for the price paid $163.05 I would've rated this a one star but the cake flavor was good. I did send an immediate text upon picking up the cake from the nail salon next-door, (no one is available from the bakery on Sundays for pick up so they have the neighbors help do their deliveries- which I found out that day when I texted) explaining my disappointment and I got NO response. To me this is not a bakery that's concerned about customer service - places that are concerned about customer service respond when a customer is not satisfied. Be very careful when you order and be very specific and ask them to confirm prior to picking up.

The cupcakes are the bomb! more on that later.......We chose Small Cakes as 1 of 5 bakeries that we were going to feature at our wedding reception. the review is mostly about expectations, and then the product. When you sign up for the tasting, they send you to the bakery in Ahwatukee located a strip mall. The banner hanging up is sun faded and and deteriorated and then you go in for the tasting and it is like a mullet, it is all business in the back of the house where the magic happens, but the front area is non descript, not very clean. but they offered you a small table with two chairs, there were three of us. They didn't have any other chairs. You actually meet with the baker and they bring out the cupcakes a few flavors and options. The baker couldn't give us a lot of information on pricing or something that detailed all of the options avaialble to us for cupcakes and cakes. We were looking more for cupcakes and a 6" cake for the reception. So she calls her boss Jordan (sp) and she was a delight on the phone, very reassuring that they were the company to help us with our needs. Jordan stated that they didn't have an official price list or menu available, but she asked the baker to get a piece of paper by the register. i was able to get a picture of what they did have available for choosing. So we put together our list of items and Jordan was going to put together a quote for us. Fast forward we get the quote for I believe 4 dozen cupcakes and a 6" cake (nothing too fancy). We also got some bids for the cake from other bakers and the price was significantly more with Small cakes. I called to ask some question about the disparity, the owner answers the phone and I asked what the difference was and he said that is our price and we are nto going to match. The whole exchange seemed off. He would text saying we are filling up fast you should order before we get to our capacity. Remember the cake tasting, well there was a $50 fee for this service, although we tasted a lot of cupcakes, we were not offered any drinks, including tap water. The $50.00 was supposed count towards your purchase. This had to be brought up. Again, nothing formal, not even a hand shake, text message detailing out what you ordered or an email, 99% was all verbal with the exception of the receipt. Now for the best part, damn those cupcakes were delicious, moist and light on the inside and just a tad of crunch around the muffin top the icing was not overly sugary where you would want to scoop it off. We had some of the cupcakes stuffed with filling; jams and creams We tried cakes and cupcakes from all over the valley and damn the cupcake offerings at Small Cakes were incredible. We are grateful that Jordan, took control communicating often, asking if she could assist along the way. Jordan was helpful by setting up and delivering the cupcakes herself, felt bad that we were unable to connect in person while she was there, but appreciated her arriving on time and taking some stress away. For me, I like things detailed, like your choices in flavors, options and especially the costs and I would like it spelled out on an quote or contract; Small Cakes doesn't offer this service, so if you are looking for that, this might not be the place, however, if you are looking for some delicious cupcakes with some fantastic flavors than Small Cakes is the place for you. Thanks to Jordan and her crew as they were the difference makers.

10/6/24 - very small shop, good cupcakes, freezer with small batch ice cream. We popped in this particular Saturday after eating lunch at a place nearby. The young lady behind the counter was very polite, there was a good selection of cupcakes to choose from, plus we picked up three quarts of the ice cream. I will say, the ice cream was most definitely not worth the money. The passionfruit was powdery. I don't know how or why it would taste that way but after one bite I was willing to toss it; there was no saving it in my mind. I think my sister choked it down just so as not to waste money. The pistachio was the best of the three, but still not worth $10. The mint chip was goopy and gooey, not in a good way. The cupcakes were most definitely the best purchase, but we have a bakery closer to home that's pretty awesome, so unless we're in the Ahwatukee area, we likely would not visit Smallcakes again.

Cute spot. And if you're completely unaware they make homemade hard scoop ice cream here?! Who knew!?

if I can leave a zero stars I would , let me start off with the design of the cake that I wanted vs what I got it was a nice designed cake Don't get me wrong just not what I wanted . I had my husband pick up and saw it in person otherwise I would have not accepted the cake . Now let's get to the actual flavor of the cake it was way to moist as if it was raw . Wayyyy too sweet all of my invited guests told me it was too sweet to even finish I reached out to whom I was texting and now they don't respond to my feedback . Most of the cake was left to throw away . I paid $255 for this cake and would love to speak to the owner . whomever I ordered cake from also did finally reach out and sent some very unprofessional Messages .

Ordered a custom lemon cake for my best friends 30th birthday. I presented a Pinterest photo and man did they deliver. Everyone including My best friend was thrilled upon opening it. Not only did it look great but it tasted even better ! I did ask for no frosting on the top/bottom and although it was still included overall the experienced and the result made it well worth it. I highly recommend this place. Customer service and taste was 10/10

This place is the epitome of a Mom and Pop shop. When we visited, we saw the owner and (we believe) his daughter running the cute little shop. We were looking for a custom cake for an adult family member's birthday. We've never bought a custom cake before (which I'd communicated when I phoned) and didn't know what to tell or ask. We wanted a Godzilla themed cake and in dialogue with the owner, we settled on a "jungle" theme. Having looked at the portfolio of images on their website, I assumed that, for the $125 cake price for a small cake for 6-8 people, there would be some kind of decor made of frosting on top, such as leaves, trees, vines... that kind of thing. There was none of that. The cake -- which was absolutely delicious and the best white cake I've EVER eaten -- was plainly frosted in a green frosting without any other "artistic" embellishment made from cake or frosting materials. The rest of the decor was plastic stuff similar to what you'd get on Amazon or Temu. That was a surprise. We had already agreed that we would supply the Godzilla figurines, but upon arrival (on his birthday) seeing some plastic stuff adorn a small $125 cake, I had to bite my tongue and just get out of there. Our family member (a male) loved it and that's all that mattered. The owner promised to text us photos and never did. He also didn't respond to follow ups. When we cut the cake, another surprise was inside. Not the sprinkles we'd asked for and dialogued about when we ordered the cake. Just white filling that was made with almond extract. The birthday boy is allergic to nuts so... that could've been a major disaster, but thankfully we figured it out when someone else had tasted it first. Again, texted the owner about the mistake inside the cake and never heard back. Overall, impressed with the quality of the cake itself which was brilliantly baked and delicious. Underwhelmed by the manner in which our order was handled and the plastic thingies on top for the price, which were some letters, a plastic "gate" and net and 3 plastic/cloth fern fronds. The rest was supplied by us. At the end of the day, if I'd have known that we could've just bought our own cake at Bashus or Fry's and applied some plastic fern leaves, candy rocks on top and plastic letters for 1/4 of the cost, we'd have gone that way instead. With tax, our cake was $135 and we also spent $30 on Amazon for the Godzilla figurines we supplied.

Wow - I think I agree with a few others on here. If there was a Zero option - I would select it. We try to buy local as much as we possibly can to support our town. I ordered cupcakes for my wife's Birthday to pick up at 3 pm on her birthday. I got to the store (Thursday) at 2:45 pm and nobody was there. The door was locked even though the sign on the door indicated that they did not close until 6 pm. I called the number and a gentleman answered. He stated someone would be there in 10 minutes. 35 minutes later - no one had showed up. I tried to call back and no one would answer the phone and of course - voice mail is full. They did send me a text at 5:34 pm reminding me to pick up my order before they close at 6 pm - interesting. The team also did refund the money to my credit card that night after a few emails. I initially thought this was a scam but after looking on here it seems like a more systemic problem. This certainly does not help support promoting our local businesses. Customers time should be as valuable or more than that of the provider. There are more local owned bakeries - I highly suggest you seek one of those out!

I absolutely love this small bakery in Awatukee. I go there to get cupcakes for my dog's birthday and other events. They are always fresh and very nicely presented.

Absolutely adorable baby sprinkle cake for my bff

Hang T.

Drool and IG worthy bakery!! I am from out of town so I went on to Yelp to look for a bakery to make the cake for my friend's baby sprinkle. I decided to buy her a custom cake less than two weeks before the day and was in a bind. Luckily I reached out to Small Cakes and Christian and they were able to make it happen. I sent them pictures of what I wanted and made delivery arrangements over the phone. Very easy process. Christian gave me a heads-up before delivery and it was right on time! When I saw it, I was so happy! I knew the expectant mother was going to be so happy with it! Now even better was that this cake was one of the moistest, decadent, but not too overwhelming chocolate cakes I've ever had in my life. I ordered chocolate cake with whipped cream filling worried that it may be too sweet or rich for us considering we had an Asian palette. Nope, absolutely perfect. It was so good that I wanted more. Usually I will stop at one piece, but it was so easy to eat that I had to save myself from three slices. Thank you again for the wonderful job! I will definitely order again next time I'm in the Phoenix area!

This is my second time ordering custom cupcakes from here and I have to say I have been blown away both times! These are the cutest muppet cupcakes and they taste so good too! The process of ordering these was so easy and he was so kind and went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with these for my sisters birthday! The shop is nice, clean and quiet as well. Will definitely use them again for future birthdays!

Stopped by here because we were in the area and who doesn't love a great cake, cupcake or ice cream? I brought home some doggie cupcakes for my little girls. I've split one between them every day and if dogs salivate then they love it. For myself I chose to bring home two as it was hard to narrow down to only one. They were closing in 20 minutes and still had a great variety of flavors. I decided to bring home a cookies and cream one and a red velvet one. I allowed myself one a day for 2 days and they were still as fresh as when I bought them! The Red velvet had to be my favorite of the two. While there a gentlemen picked up the cutest cake for his daughter with Mickey Mouse ears! Yummy! Treat this place right because they do it right. The boxes are adorable too!

We went here after my mom raved about this place, but they really weren't great. We were excited that they had a vegan option, but they're "buttercream" is basically that overly sweet non-dairy whipped topping you get from restaurant supply stores. It was pretty awful, to be honest. The cake part itself was moist but lacked a rich chocolatey flavor. Others in our group agreed that the frosting for their traditional cupcakes seemed like cheap grocery store frosting, NOT true buttercreams. We'll skip this place the next time we want cupcakes. Update: Owner swears she's selling true buttercreams, but check the consistency and flavor for yourself. It's 100% not, unless every vegan bakery we've ever been to is somehow getting it wrong. read more

People hyped this place so hard online that I finally had to get out and try it....I LOVE SMALLCAKES!! The gals behind the counter are so friendly and they have the BEST ice cream and very moist cakes. Everything they put out tastes very fresh and I have not been disappointed yet! My dad got the vegan option when I brought him to try it and he really liked it, so much so that there wasn't a crumb left in sight! I really love their cupcakes and ice cream together and will have to do everything in my power to make sure I don't come here every single day! The shop itself is very small so don't bring a huge group and expect to sit and eat together, but the cakes are worth a visit for sure. read more

We got the cookies and cream, a few choc and vanilla. The chocolate were AMAZING! The others were fine. I ordered 20 for my sons 12 bday. I paid between $79-$75. I paid it cause that's what he wanted, I told him in the future, That's not happening again. Waaaayyyyy too much money for cupcakes. Especially the cookies and cream and the vanilla. I might think for the chocolate may have been almost worth it. Those ones were good without a doubt. Wish I had gotten more of those.

We had the most amazing experience with Smallcakes!!! We were coming into Phoenix from out of state and one of our really close friends was turning 50 while we were in town. We knew absolutely nothing about cakes/cake services in the area! I just started calling and I was not having luck with other local cake locations, I had spoken with several rude people until I got ahold of SMALLCAKES! Christian had the attitude of "we would love to help you!" He immediately sent me photos of some options and we began planning away! Oh did I mention I needed the cake the very next day? Everything was just as promised and the cake was ready for me right when we got off the plane. We were able to surprise our friend with a BEAUTIFUL cake! The cake was absolutely delicious. I was a little worried about the black frosting, but it did not have us all walking around stained and was so yummy! I can't say enough about this experience. No questions asked.....

Very average cupcakes. Got a red velvet and a "choc a holic". The red velvet one had good frosting but the cake itself was lacking flavor, the hint of cocoa nowhere to be found. Texturally it was soft and moist if not a bit too airy and commercial tasting. The chocolate one was a complete failure though, and was chocolate only in name. The buttercream just tasted like sugar and the cake itself once again had a good texture but no flavor whatsoever. Gave 3 stars only because the price was cheap enough for what I expected. Small cakes is also a large franchise which probably explains how commercial the cake tastes. read more

Worst service ever!!! I went in on Saturday Memorial Day weekend. I was going to buy most of the cupcakes for a party but the girl in the store said that since they were closing soon she didn't want to sell me anything. There were still many cupcakes on display for sale. I left and went to AJs where I was able to buy several dozen cupcakes. If you are open you should service customers. A small shop shouldn't be sending away customers when you are 1. Open 2 have product to sell read more

as a person who kinda really likes cupcakes (besides everyone, right); i must comment about these. firstly, i HATE buttercream, period, so i will get naked cupcakes.....and also red velvet. okay, let get started. 1) the cake of the cupcakes is amazing! it's moist, full of flavor, didn't sit heavy in the tummy, and the vanilla was distinctive not just "white cake tasting." 2) i did try a couple with the "cream," (pink, and lemon) and omg. the buttercream was not as heavy as normal and the sales person (who's super nice) pick the ones that had the smallest amount of "cream." in conclusion, i really need a new cup of tea and one more cupcake....... i'm thinking chocolate this time. read more

While the cashier didn't care if I lived or died after I told her how hard the decision was of choosing a pastry, i settled on a regular vanilla with vanilla icing. The crumb reminded me of the heavy butter cake from Mastro's. Kinda like cornbread if you've never had their butter cake. I prefer my cupcake slightly less dense. The frosting was good but felt like it didn't go well with the cake for some reason. After looking at the photo I took i wish i had leaned for a more adventurous flavor, but I'm just thankful I didn't get their gluten free/vegan option on accident!

There's also a very cute "cupcake ATM" on the side of the building so you can grab n go without having to enter the store. I've been in a few times after work to bring home a 6-pack of cupcakes to the family. They usually have around ten flavors to choose from. Two are gluten free and one is a vegan option. Service is always friendly and pleasant. I used Apple Pay this last visit and just tapped my phone to pay. Tipping is optional. They have other treats like seasonal cookies and brownies, and pre wrapped treats at the counter. There isn't much for dining in the shop. It's mostly a takeout design. Cupcakes come in a sturdy cardboard carry case with a paper bag for carrying with ease. These cupcakes are a little pricey with my 6-pack coming in around ~$30ish. They do have a large amount of the good kind of frosting on top of each cupcake. I'm a frosting girl so I think they're very good.

We learned upon arriving it is now called Lilibet's Cakery and English Tea Room (although the sign out front still says 21 Cupcakes). Two pairs of customers were inside enjoying a classic afternoon tea when we arrived, which looked lovely. The vibes are so adorable inside this tea room. I would definitely come back to the patio for tea time. This seems like a great place for a cute date, friend meetup, or princess tea. The staff person who helped us select our cupcakes was very nice, and she explained each of the choices of the cupcakes so we would know which cake was inside. Two of our party were interested in the Chocolate Chocolate with only one cupcake remaining, and she said she could help us by pipping one fresh from the back. The cupcakes are so tasty and not overly sweet cakes. I like just a tad more sugary cake, but my partner was delighted by the taste. The chocolate icing was delicious (mine was a yellow cake with chocolate icing). My mom's one disappointment she mentioned when we got in the car to bring them home was, "Those are much smaller than they used to be." She likes a bigger cupcake than their current larger size. I thought they were a decent medium size, but the birthday girl wanted a bit more cupcake on her special day, especially since they used to be larger when it was called 21 Cupcakes. Next time, I would order her two. I also liked the idea of the tiny cupcakes so you could try more flavors, so next time I visit, I would maybe consider 2-3 tiny ones to try over a few days. They also had a lot of cookies I took a photo of that looked yummy, but we did not try any. Definitely give Lilibet's a try for a sweet treat in Scottsdale!

They have floral wallpaper and flowers everywhere inside, along with the cutest lights. Even the bathroom was sweetly decorated. It is a casual, busy little tea room in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Along with tea being served and customers coming in to purchase beautiful cupcakes and cakes there were also quite a few curious people looking in. Lillibet's has the nicest people serving tea. Very friendly and yet not dominating the tea conversation. Because of the size of the tea room you definitely hear the other people so the experience can depend on the others inside. They offer a variety of teas and on this visit they had seasonal teas as well, which we both chose. I had a gingerbread tea that was very complex and interesting and my tea mate had plum cider and found it unusual but tasty. The three tier tea treats were composed of a variety of sandwiches, four scones, beautiful cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, cookies, and macarons. Everything was tasty and neither of us could finish it all so they gave us the cutest little take home boxes. Since we were celebrating a birthday I had also ordered a cake ahead of time to take home. The vintage heart cake was beautiful and delicious with icing that was lovely but not too sweet at all. Their web site is filled with all of the beautiful cakes they make. A great treat place!

I'm not a fan. $34 for 6 cupcakes (plus the app automatically defaults to a %15 percent tip? Not cool. It wasn't too cool either when I got home (literally 5 mins. after I picked up the cupcakes and the frosting was melted all over. They were on the counter when I picked them up - not too long after I got the text they were ready. They should have been kept refrigerated until pickup. Since they were a gift, I am completely disappointed. Moreover, I did a taste taste with the $6.00 cupcake (which automatically defaulted to a tip for $1.00 - making it very expensive for 1 cupcake) with hardly any filling compared to a duncan hines one I had made on the weekend - guess one which tasted better? The Duncan Hines of course. I will not be going back. read more
