This is my second time coming to Smallcakes and I love their Red Velvet cupcakes! I have an extreme sweet tooth and even these are too sweet for me to eat at once! I can appreciate this because now one cupcake can last me two days haha! They also have a Birthday Cake cupcake that I want to try but I'm stuck on the RV!

Inside the lemon...ore lemon deliciousness

Wowza best cupcakes I've ever had! Super moist and delicious! Perfect ratio of cake to frosting. I tried the German chocolate and the lemon drop cakes. Can't recommend enough if you just want a special treat when out or a glamour girls party, really nice for an edible gift!!!

Stopped in today for birthday cupcakes. Got a 6 pack of a few flavors. The store was clean and the cupcakes on display looked great. The service was fast and the friendly. She did a great job explaining the points and how easy it is to get free cupcakes. When I got home and later tried the cakes they were so moist and delicious. The chocolate cake was so soft and delicate. These were the best cupcakes I have ever had. I was so impressed. Thanks SmallCakes for making my wife's birthday special for us. read more

Yummy! I had an awful experience last week with a downtown "bakery" and wrote a really negative review for that business. Today, I happened upon Smallcakes and I'm happy to report this place is golden!! Spotless and friendly service. My favorite cake is an almond with almond buttercream frosting. Their "wedding cake" cupcake really fit the bill. Their cupcakes are fresh and made on site, so pretty and Delicious!!! There were 13 to choose from, plus they have a special flavor of the day. The only downside was I couldn't wait to eat my cupcake, so I didn't get a photo. It's on the other side of town for me, but I'll make a special trip to go back soon! read more

I picked up a red velvet cupcake for a coworker as a thank you to her. I'm so glad I found this place! While I was there, I chose a lemon cupcake to split at home with my husband after dinner. Much to my delight and surprise, it was not only lemony moist....but filled with lemon curd along with the lemony frosting on top! I will definitely return to try other flavors! Very clean place, friendly clerk! read more

Wedding cake cupcake tasted NOTHING like wedding cake. No almond flavor at all and the icing tasted like pure powdered sugar and shortening. The lemon cupcake hardly had any lemon flavor and the icing tasted worse than something that would get at a grocery store. I was so looking forward to these cupcakes and we were so disappointed. You know it's bad when kids only took one bite before pushing the plate away. They were beautiful though and I wish I would have taken a picture. read more

When I called on the phone Gavin was very helpful and patient as I have dietary restrictions. I ordered a soup that was vegan and gluten free ( Beet, Apple etc) and I ordered what I thought was a nice green salad only to see Parmesan sprinkled all over it even though I was clear that I was gluten free and dairy free. They took out the croutons but not the cheese. Gavin apologized and did a refund but i was surprised that he didn't offer to make things right but offering me something else as it wasn't my mistake and I had to drive all the way back to return the salad to get a refund. I don't blame him at all and I was wondering if this is managements policy ? Again I don't wish to knock Him at all as he was super busy at lunch time and mistakes do happen.

Though I'll speak well…read moreof this place, the cost/value of this place - will (still) have me endorsing Krustaceans in Columbia. The seafood at this place, was cooked very very good. The quality of the seafood was a very clean tasting seafood. Even the shrimp had a nice clean flavor. And we're you looking for butter? Oh, they do (not) spare the sticks of butter at this place! The potato. Oh yes, I said "potato". I have never had a seafood bowl - have (just) a single potato. The potato tasted absolutely great. But 1 potato? That was a joke - especially after you see what these items cost! The garlic butter: There was plenty of butter. Tye flavoring of the butter, certainly was unique of sorts. Seemed to have (possibly) a chili powder base. And though I thought it was good...I also got tired of the taste, after a bit. The Big Downer at this place: Cost. You see my (2) platters. Add (3) cans of Coke - the cost was $150.00. Yes, that's correct: $150.00. Sure, there's a whole lobster on one of the platters. BUT, it wasn't that big by any means. And let's remember: 1 potato was included in the platter. 1 small red potato, came with it; at that price! Lol. Conclusion: Krustaceans is where you should go - for the seafood boiler platters. A much better combination of quality, value and price.

Nearly half the mussels were unopened, the sausage was a lot smaller than it used to be, and the single potato was tiny. This used to be a good place, which makes its decline kind of sad. No wonder there was only one other customer in the place.
