I was geeked when I ran across this cupcakery while driving! I never knew it was even there! After hearing so many good reviews about it I was excited to give it a shot on July 3rd. I was also pleasantly surprised that they were running a special buy one get one free! I later discovered this after I picked out four cupcakes. So I basically ended up leaving with eight cupcakes for only $16.50 which was a great deal in my opinion! I also tried the wedding cake ice cream and it was sooooooo good! I vowed to get a scoop or two next time I visit!! Lol. I became a reward member which will give me the opportunity to earn free cupcakes! Can the deals in this place get any sweeter? Lol. My mom, sister and I decided to try out the cupcakes as soon as I brought them in the house! Lol. We were very pleased and agreed that all of the cupcakes were delicious!! Omgeeeee! The red velvet cupcake was so yummy and the cream cheese frosting on it was amazing! The Boston Cream Pie is perfect if you don't like your cupcakes too sweet. It also had a filling that made the cupcake super moist! If you enjoy peanut butter and chocolate then you must get the Peanut Butter Cup cupcake!! Soooo yummy! I loved how this chocolate cupcake just melted in my mouth and the frosting was sooo good as well!! Mmmmm.... My sister had the birthday cake cupcake and she stated that it was very good! My mom enjoyed the hot fudge sundae cupcake and all three of us LOVED the Peanut Butter Cup cupcake! This one was our fave so far!! I so wanted to try the Wedding Cake cupcake,however, they didn't have any so next time I will try to grab one if it's available! The server was super nice and patient while I made my selections and trust me it was hard!! Lol I wanted to get them all! Lol. The store was clean, cute, and organized. I loved how the cupcakes were displayed and I will be back soon! read more

Service, the individual behind the counter was not there to sell cupcakes! Selection of cupcakes was minimal.

They got it! I'm so happy small cakes is near my home! I remember the first one in Naperville. I was upset when they changed the name because it changed! I must've found the original owner because they are fire! Delicious and they have more than cupcak read more

staff member was super mean and very rude, I have shopped at small cakes before and have NEVER been treated like this before. This was unfortunate read more

This location is right by my work and one of my coworkers has brought cupcakes from here on a few occasions. I've always thought they were good and the flavors were creative. My boss told me that they also make pup cakes for the doggos and being that it was my puppy's first birthday I decided to go get him a treat. Waking into the bakery is heaven!! Smells so look, it's visually appealing and there are so many choices I was there for the pup cakes and was able to get two for a real good price. My doggies inhaled their pup cake and they both approved. I decided to get some cupcakes while I was there and got a strawberry cupcake, a hot fudge sundae and a peanut butter cupcake. All three were amazing. Super moist and the frosting is always perfect! I will be going back more often. read more

The customer service here was amazing!!! The lady was so helpful and so patient while I couldn't decide on all the delicious flavors. Have to say my favorite one was the carrot cake as you can see, it barely made it through the photo shoot. Red velvet was decadent and delicious as well! Also tried their hot cocoa bombs and loved them, hopefully they'll start having them all season long! read more

Edit: 5/21 Sal the business owner keeps reporting or having delegates report my review. Not sure why. If he wants to he can reach out to me and provide cupcakes for me to review again if he wants me to try it again. Ate cupcakes from here a while back. My last review was removed for whatever reason but I'm rewriting to make sure a valuable review is provided. The cupcakes we had were not moist at all. The frosting seemed like it was a bit too whipped. I've made much better cupcakes at my own house. The people inside for pickup seemed nice. This was before all of the COVID problems. I would not come back and order from here. I've found more local options online for better tasting cupcakes than this corporate location. I also don't agree that they should have their business open during a quarantine. They are non essential and have no business operating right now. Regardless the cupcakes were not the sweetest or that moist. 4/10 would not recommend. The location in Naperville does it better. Take the extra drive. Scenic route. read more

I stopped by Smallcakes yesterday for the first time. I was picking up pizza at Lou's next door and thought I'd stop by and check them out. When I walked in I honestly thought they were closing shortly because they were so empty... I selected 6 cupcakes even though there weren't many to choose from, which left me a little disappointed. Since this was the first time coming my first impression wasnt great. I wasnt treated when I entered. I really think your front service people should be outgoing and more inviting. However, the cupcakes I did choose were very good. Definitely loved the salted Carmel. I will try them again and hope to find a bigger selection in the future. read more

Read about SmallCakes and made a trip there. Really disappointed when I got there and found they had a really small selection of waaay overpriced cupcakes nobody else wanted. Had a list of 6 cupcakes I wanted, they had ONE of the six varieties left. Walked out with a box of 6 since I had promised to bring a dessert to a gathering. The girl behind the counter knew I was really disappointed, but said nothing and couldn't be bothered. Cupcakes were not great. Prices were be VERY high and customer service was very poor. Won't be back. Update: Owner reached out and said he was interested in what happened with my very POOR service. Wrote him, and never heard back from him! Yet, I see he offered to make things right with other disappointed customers. Wow, just got slapped TWICE by Small Cakes! read more

Wow! Their cupcakes are the best...creative decorating and absolutely delicious! I ordered a pack for my daughter's birthday. This bakery not only turns out the best baked goods; their customer service is wonderful. Megan was a big help in patiently answering my questions, filling my order, and delivering them safely and quickly. Everyone loved them: "They were so good!" Looking forward to ordering again very soon! read more

I called to order a birthday cake for my daughter. The person who answered was very polite and apologetic that the baker was not there to take the order but promised to relay the message. A few days went by with no call back so I called again and left a voicemail regarding ordering a cake. No one ever responded. The least they could have done was call me back to say they couldn't so the cake. This was very poor service. I live nearby and occasionally stop in for cupcakes. I like to support local small business. They are pricey, but the kids feel like they're getting a special treat when I being these cupcakes home. To be honest, aside from being beautifully decorated, there is really nothing special about the cupcakes. Now that they have treated me so poorly, I'll save my money and stick to grocery store cupcakes. read more

I meant to snap a photo prior to digging in, however, was clearly unable to resist. Cupcakes and cake pops were delicious! read more

Vicky was so nice and professional on the phone taking my order for my birthday I really appreciate her taking care of the order for my birthday ,thank Vicky read more

Delicious! We had the peanut butter and the pumpkin cupcakes tonight. The service was good and the guy working there knew his products. The cupcakes were moist and just the right amount of sweet. The pumpkin was good, but that peanut butter...yum! My boyfriend had to share after I watched him, with my sad eyes, dig into that gooey chocolate! I also didn't offer to share my pumpkin with him. I'm stingy like that. If you are a non-sharer, like me, get 2 of each! read more

So we were actually staying at the hotel nearby and decided to come in and maybe get a cupcake and possibly ice cream. When we walked in nobody was there to greet us. Once the young lady came from the back she had no smile to greet us and seemed irritated we were there. I ended up getting one scoop of the wedding cake icecream because it seemed to be a great option since it had the least left to it. I wasn't a big fan of it but my son enjoyed it. I also got one of the cupcakes which was DELICOUS and so flavorful! The actual store itself was really clean and cute inside so if were in the area again we will be back. Thank you! read more

We had booked with Small Cakes for our wedding and I'm so glad that we did! Tanya was incredible to work with throughout the entire process. She was so bubbly and fun to work with. It's obvious that she truly loves what she does. With us having a wedding during COVID, plans had definitely changed. She was on top of it and made sure that she spoke with us again to go over the final details with all the new plans. She was willing to make any design we asked for, and they looked great! They tasted amazing as well! We will definitely be going back to get more cupcakes from them. Photography done by Inspired Eye Photography read more

I stopped by Small Cakes while visiting family in Aurora, and found it to be well worth the stop. Being from New York and a foodie, I have very high standards when it comes to restaurants and bakeries. I have to say they met all my expectations and beyond. I was extremely pleased with the entire experience from stepping into the store till I took the last bite of salted caramel! Can't praise them enough! Literally one of the greatest bakeries I have ever been to in my life. Their stuff is beyond delicious - it's spectacular! So Let's start.... 1. Staff/service: super bubbly, friendly, full of passion about their cupcakes! They take pride in their baking. Happened to meet the store owner Sal, he was very welcoming, friendly and lovely to converse with. Small cakes have created a neighborhood gem! Service was every bit as sweet and welcoming as you would hope for in a place serving up such happiness inducing treats as these! 2. Store: very warm, inviting, superclean, well lit and smelled delicious with freshly baked goodies. 3. Cupcakes: Heavenly! They have many beautiful, colorful, variety of flavors to choose from. Neatly packaged in a box so cupcakes don't move while carrying out! First, they are aesthetically pleasing in every way. The cakes are super soft, fluffy, light, moist and frosting is perfection! It was tough to choose from so many mouth-watering choices. Though I didn't get to try all the flavors, the few that I had were beyond what I have ever tasted! Some of my favorites are red velvet, salted caramel, birthday cake, lemon and Hot fudge sundae! I highly recommend this place! This will be my all time favorite cupcake shop and will definitely visit every time I'm in Chicago. read more

Very yummy and lots of different options! Love walking in and smelling all of the freshly made cupcakes. Very cute interior and very welcoming! read more

Quick and pleasant service, had requested a custom message on some cupcakes and they did so without a problem.

I had never been here before so I thought I'd give it a try-not a bad idea at all!!! They had such amazing cupcakes and each and every one of them tasted exactly the way the title was. Each cupcake was fresh and moist, and the buttercream on top was soooooo good. Fantastic facility that is very clean and welcoming to people coming in. Staff were very friendly and time efficient. read more

I have stopped in about a dozen times. Every time I have been given a different excuse as to why gluten free isnt available. I try calling the store to ask, but they don't answer the phone. If you're gluten free, don't bother. read more

This place had AMAZING cupcakes! Just visited them and the line was out the door, but they were so worth it! Soft, fresh, moist and best of all, TASTY. My favorite was the Wedding Cake flavor. Simple and almondy. Even the employees were awesome. They were clearly working so hard but they still took the time to welcome us in with big smiles. It's a great addition to Aurora, I am ready to go back! And don't worry, they DO take party orders. Already got their number and can't wait for the next birthday ;) read more

This bakery is a GEM! The service was incredibly nice and attentive. If you're not sure what you're craving you'll be just fine picking from any of the selections. I bought a few cupcakes for my coworkers & myself & we're obsessed! read more

There's a lot of choices at small cakes . The staff is courteous and they are open long enough to cover most occasions. They do make other things than cupcakes, but you do need advance notice. I went in for the first time to get cupcakes to cover for a unplanned birthday party. I kept it minimal for the first time due to not wanting a lot of leftovers. They were very attractive to the eye, but the frosting tends to be more on the heavy side and a bit overpowering. That would be a personal choice for most . The cupcakes minus the frosting were excellent. read more

Cupcakes taste great, and some designs are really cute. I disagree with a few things about this place and hope they continually improve as a new business. Pros- really flavorful moist cupcakes readily available , flavors are show stoppers. Some customer service reps are nice and knowledgeable. Had a problem with our order and it was taken care of right away. Cons- the younger employees seem very inexperienced and I had a difficult time placing my order. Also when there was an issue with my order she did not know what to do and was not very reassuring. The problem was taken care of but overall I have had issues with one or two people there. Suggestions: need more cream cheese icing options on special days (cannoli, etc). More specialties in general. Frosting is a tad too sweet. Also there is a 10.00 is outrageous for special decorations (like for NYE) that needs to be advertised better before people order. And bring back keto cupcakes! OVerall I'm glad they're in our area and I will return. read more

Pricey but very good food. Come for the home made ice cream. Very thick, creamy ice cream with unique flavors

I recently picked up two cakes and 2 dozen cupcakes from here. And needless to say, there is none left. Everything was a big hit at our girls 2nd birthday. The staff is extremely friendly and so helpful! I reached out to them via FB chat to see if they could do a custom design and it came out perfect! They even matched the scheme on the cupcakes. I was looking for a place where I could do something simple, but they elevated our party with their design. I highly recommend, and I do not plan to go anywhere else for my cakes/cupcakes. I can't wait to try their daily flavors, and ice creams, and cake balls, and shakes - cus those look amazing as well. I did get a free cupcake with each of my dozens, I picked out a red velvet and a fudge ice cream cupcake -- but I did not get to try them myself because my fiance and best friend beat me to them with how quickly they ate them I think it's safe to say they enjoyed those as well! read more

I have been to multiple SmallCakes locations throughout the Chicagoland area and hands down this one is one of the BEST! While it is no Molly's, they are quick, efficient, and kind at this location. The cupcakes are extremely fresh-- so soft and creamy that they almost melt in your mouth. This location in particular has a very small dine in area; however most of the time we just take them to go (also a good location if your staying at a nearby hotel...). read more

The phone number listed doesn't work! The line just rings then a recording comes on saying leave a message for Diacom? I'm done trying to reach this store. Thought I'd go with this one instead of the Naperville location. But I'm thinking the drive is worth it! read more

I'm just in love with the cupcakes here. Really great size portions and the cakes are moist. It's a good frosting to cupcake ratio. I am one of those people who loves trying different cupcakes at different spots and I'll tell you I keep coming back to this location for more! read more
