Smallcakes Cupcakery - Marietta - Bakeries Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

I decided to give Smallcakes Cupcakery a try since it was my birthday. The shop is upstairs above the Johnny Rockets pizza place in the same strip mall. When I walked inside I was provided a friendly welcome. I noticed that the small space was very clean and comfortable. The display case was presented nicely. This stoked my excitement to want to try the entire case, but I had to make sure I tempered myself before I brought everything as I was tempted to just by the looks alone. However, it was by previous experience from other places that reminded me of looks can be deceiving so I decided to buy a few, but enough to gauge accurately how I felt about this place. I wanted to try a few different flavors that were enough to give me a better opinion in case the one did not satisfy. I ordered four cupcakes: a lemon flavored one, one that reminds me of the Hostess cupcake, an orange flavored one that is said to taste like a creamsicle, and a coconut one. I tried two already: the lemon one and the chocolate Hostess one. I can say that I was truly unimpressed and underwhelmed because the lemon flavored one did not have enough of the lemony flavor I expected and the cake tasted very familiar to a famous boxed version which was extremely disappointing. The icing was thick, rich, and little too sweet. I had to scrape off lots of the icing. Next, was the chocolate one which I was really excited because as a child I always loved getting those two little chocolate cakes from the convenience store whenever my family would stop for gas or a rest stop while on a vacation road trip. My first bite left me feeling disappointed because it was nothing like I expected. There was a slight bitterness that was subtle but noticeable to me. Again, the too thick piping of icing made the whole thing too sweet and again not what I would expect from a shop that is supposed to specialize in cupcakes. Although I probably wouldn't return to Smallcakes Cupcakery because I can bake and I know how cake from scratch tastes, I would not stop you from making a trip yourself for the chance to treat yourself or your pet to this place is a time to celebrate life! read more

I asked for a pink and purple heart cake with just happy birthday on it. They provided exactly what I asked for. And the TASTE! This cake was so moist and delicious. Everyone loved it and my daughter was so happy. My 6 year old picked out the design from pinterest. Safe to say Smallcakes knows what they are doing! And it was so much cake left. For $140 it was definitely worth it. read more

Enjoy the occasional treat with a freshly made cupcake. The young people at the counter are all friendly and provide exceptional service!

Small cakes cupcakes to celebrate a birthday. Ready as promised, perfectly executed and absolutely delicious. Lemon and Reese were two of the favorites. Perfect 2 bite cupcakes. Thanks. read more

While it's a shade pricey (it's locating in a bit of a yuppie region), it's an excellent store. Their cakes are delicious: rich, tasty, high quality. They have lots of flavors, and the flavors are spot-on: the s'mores taste like s'mores, the birthday cake like birthday cake, etc. Each cupcake is a work of art; they look fantastic. The store itself is comfortable and clean. The cashiers have consistently been gracious and kind. They also do a lot for the community. They have lots of fundraisers and coupon agreements with local churches and charities and teams. Great business. read more

These have been some of the best cupcakes that I have had in a while. I ordered a half dozen red velvet cupcakes with pecan topping, and two each of the pink vanilla, chocolate sundae, and birthday cake. I also ordered a single lemon and a single chocolate icing filled. Every single cupcake was fresh and delicious, not overly sweet, and well-flavored. My order was processed quickly, and the young lady that assisted me behind the counter was very sweet and accommodating. I will definitely be back!! read more

Visited this store on a Saturday around 7pm to pick up cupcakes for my mom's birthday. The establishment was clean and organized. It wasn't busy so I was able to get my items quickly. There were slim pickings around that time so if you come here try to come earlier in the day for more options. We tried the Lemon cupcake, the Carmel one, and the Chocolate one. They were all just ok in my opinion but I'm open to trying other flavors in the future. read more

Cupcakes were fantastic. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because we went for ice cream and this location doesn't carry ice cream even though it was advertised that it did. read more

These are the best cupcakes in the area by far! They are always fresh and moist and have the most creative flavors.

One of my favorite places for desserts. Multiple selections of cup cakes. I recommend the red velvet.

I'm not really into sweets very much so I'll dabble in them now and then. My wife loves this to no end because they have Gluten-free cupcakes so I decided do give it a shot and try something. I ended up getting the German chocolate, Fudge, and Oreo cookie cupcakes. The fudge ended up being my favorite one but by no means were the other ones nasty. The frosting on each taste great and is proportionate to the cupcake. It's sweat and creamy. But since I'm not the biggest on sweets I could feel the sugar hitting my bloodstream . But they are definitely very good tasting. I'll definitely go back when I'm in the mood. read more

Smallcakes Cupcakery is a nationwide chain of cupcake stores with about 10 locations in metro Atlanta. This review is for the Marietta store located near The Avenue West Cobb. I've tried several cupcakes from this store and generally think they are A-OK. Smallcakes offers roughly 20 different cupcakes each day. There are daily specials and the menu can get creative and interesting with cupcakes such as Bananas Foster, Boston Cream Pie (made with Bavarian Cream), Oatmeal Cream Pie, and Margarita (made with Jose Cuervo lime margarita mix). Each cupcake is big and comes with plenty of rich frosting, which I like. It's probably the best thing about the cupcakes here. One cupcake costs $3.25, a half dozen is $19.25, and a full dozen is $33. One cupcake should suffice to fill most people's immediate sweet tooth. Ordering a dozen is great for parties. Cupcakes I've tried: * Pink Chocolate - chocolate cake with pink buttercream frosting * Peanut Butter Cup - chocolate cake with peanut butter cream cheese frosting topped with crumbled peanut butter cups * Cookies-n-Cream - chocolate cake with Oreo-vanilla buttercream * Vanilla-n-Chocolate - vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream topped with Valrhona chocolate sprinkles * S'more - chocolate cake filled with marshmallow cream topped with buttercream frosting, a graham cracker, and chocolate drizzle * Hot Fudge Sundae - chocolate cake with buttercream frosting topped with roasted pecans, hot fudge, and a cherry on top * Caramel Crunch - chocolate cake with caramel frosting topped with sea salt and pretzels * Wedding Cake - almond cake with almond buttercream frosting topped with edible pearls Overall, the cupcakes are moist and filling and the frosting is very sweet and rich. The above cupcakes are indeed tasty, though many taste similar with not a whole lot of variation. Lots of chocolate. My favorites are two of the more "simple" cupcakes: Peanut Butter Cup and Cookies-n-Cream. With the Peanut Butter Cup, I like the added texture and flavor of the crushed peanut butter cups in the frosting. With the Cookies-n-Cream, I like the smooth and creamy Oreo-vanilla flavor. All of the cupcakes are nicely presented, though some stand out way more than others. These include the S'More, Hot Fudge Sundae, and Caramel Crunch. The additional toppings on these particular cupcakes set them apart. The S'more has a mini graham cracker with chocolate drizzle on top, the Hot Fudge Sundae actually looks like a mini hot fudge sundae with whipped cream, hot fudge, and bright red cherry on top, and the Caramel Crunch has two mini pretzels and large granule sea salt sprinkled on top. If you're looking to impress someone, order one of these. Service is satisfactory. To save time if picking up a dozen or more cupcakes, call ahead. There are dozens of good cupcake shops in metro Atlanta. While I wouldn't go out of my way to come to Smallcakes, I think it is a fine shop for the area. read more

This pains me! I want to love it here. The cupcakes are very good - moist and flavorful. BUT I'm concerned about the cleanliness. While we were hungrily eyeing the cupcake display and debating which flavors to get, we noticed a fly trapped in the case. The fly was flying all around and landing on many cupcakes. Finally the girl working was able to capture the fly but then proceeded to reload the display case with the fly-covered cupcakes and sell them. For $3.75 each I don't want to know my cupcake is covered with fly juice. At least take the fly cupcakes to the back before refilling the case, so the customers can think they are clean. read more

Went in to buy 2 dozen cupcakes- they told me they couldn't take cash- $100. Ummm - what kind of nonsense is this? I told them that's ok CRUMBL would take my money. Bye Felisha! read more

I purchased cupcakes from them for the first time a few days ago. It's a cute little cupcake store, but the cupcakes sure weren't the $24 I spent for 6 of them, for my mom's birthday. Honestly, the cake tasted like box cake mix, and most of them tasted the same. We sampled 6 different cupcakes, but the cake all tasted the same. Very disappointed, and, won't be going back. read more

Got the caramel crunch, red velvet and German chocolate Hands down one of the best cupcakes I ve ever had The size is pretty good for the price of $3.25 or $3.50 Oki so the looks 5/5 toppings match The cake itself 5/5 moist soft melts in your mouth! Can't get any better than this! The frosting I loved but the husband thought it was a bit sweet - but I loved it- the caramel crunch was awesome - it wasn't buttercream but it was actual melted caramel soft chewy Finally found something in Atlanta that is one of the best! Can't wait to try their other flavors read more

Smallcakes Cupcakery - Marietta - Red velvet with sprinkles German chocolate Caramel crunch - Bakeries Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Bad Stuff: all the frostings taste EXACTLY same. Flavourless. Peanut butter shouldn't taste like buttercream shouldn't taste like strawberry. I'm not sure they are using butter it has a lard texture. They LOOK so amazing I kept checking in, I live super close. Finally - I've just realized the convenience isn't worth the mediocrity. I'm consistently disappointed. The baker needs to do a blind taste test and realize that the flavour bomb you usually get from a cupcake does't exist here. Good Stuff: the staff is always cheery, and I'm always greeted kindly. The shop itself is really cute and clean. They LOOK amazing- well decorated. The "flavours" ie the labels of what it SHOULD taste like are good combos IMHO. read more

Cup cakes are yummy when baked correctly. I think SmallCakes has what it takes. It is one of my favorite cupcake shops. It is located across from The Avenue at West Cobb. After I eat a healthy salad from Panera Bread at The Avenue, I get my sweet fix at Small cakes. The latest cup cake I tried is lemon drop. I'll have to rate it 5 stars alone. It was very moist. I could taste the lemon throughout the cake. As I eat my cake with a fork, eventually I work my way to a surprise lemon explosion in the middle. The frosting was just right considering the sweet tart combination of the cake. There was a drop of lemon on top of the icing as well. I'm not crazy about lemons, but this cake was delicious. Each time I visit I like to try something new. I'm more of a chocolate girl, but it's fun to explore. I know desserts aren't healthy. Therefore, I make it a wise decision to buy only one cup cake. It truly seals the deal after a great meal. They also have wonderful t shirts. One has a cute little saying. I won't spoil it. I'll let you go and see for yourself. I always think cupcake shops were founded ( in my mind) by a sweet stay at home mom messing around in the kitchen with the kiddies. Small Cakes founder is a guy by the name of Jeff Martin. You might think it's cool to know he appeared on Cupcake Wars on The Food Network channel. read more

Yummy cupcakes! Smallcakes offers gluten free and daily special cupcakes. Each cupcake flavor was provided a card with details regarding cake flavor, icing flavor, and garnish.

They had good flavors. I had the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cupcake, strawberry lemonade cupcake, and the salted caramel. I would definitely go back for the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cupcake but I'm a huge fan of peanut butter and chocolate together. They seemed a bit pricey for the area. But definitely worth the $3.50 I paid for them Overall the cupcake was moist the frosting was nice and fluffy even though you can tell with a new day and the cupcakes that may have been sitting out there it didn't taste like it read more

My husband and I stop by occasionally to get a couple cupcakes. He likes the chocolate with vanilla(?) frosting and I always get red velvet with cream cheese icing. Mine are always moist, sweet, and delicious! My husband has mentioned that his don't really taste like anything and I have to agree with him. The chocolate is kind of... not chocolatey. All in all though, they're good cupcakes and for the price I'm glad one will fill me up and satisfy my sweet craving!! read more

I stumbled across this place while going to eat at the pizza spot located downstairs from them. This location is in a small plaza with other small businesses (upstairs). Parking is a breeze due to it being located in a plaza. I was excited to see they had red velvet cupcakes and the icing contains pecans sprinkles on top, so for those that are true red velvet lovers you know pecans are a must but many places don't include them on top. I believe the cupcake cost around $3 which is standard. The place is small but friendly, pink, and inviting. The associate was very knowledgeable with all questions I had. I enjoyed cupcake and will return if in the area. read more

A few days ago, placed 2 separate orders (total 4 dozens cupcakes) for my school's cheer teams (varsity and Jv) event. The order was purposely placed two separately, paid separately and had two different pickup times to avoid any confusions or mix up on the cupcakes since each order placed were specifically for the team that the order was placed under. Needless to say, small cakes took it upon themselves and combined both orders, despite the orders being placed separately. After each team realized the orders were wrong, small cakes was contacted about the wrong orders. Initially, small cakes agreed to replace both orders and cupcakes can pick up the same day. However upon arriving at small cakes to pick up the correct orders, the worker at small cakes stated they will not replace the cupcakes (despite this being totally their fault). But, we have 40 plus cheer girls who were looking forward to getting their favorite cupcakes; but was only met with disappointment because small cakes combined both order of cupcakes. The fact small cakes refused to remedy the situation (especially when it's was all their fault), I WILL NEVER order from them again. This was totally waste of money; plus the disappointment on our girls' faces was the worst out of all of this. This was my first time and definitely will be my last time ordering from small cakes. I would NEVER recommend this establishment!! I'll keep my business with Nothin Bundt cakes where customer service is always SUPERB! 1/26/2022 - This is in response to the response to my comment. First and foremost, neither orders were shown to the individuals who picked them up. As stated before, there was a reason why 2 separate orders were placed. Why you guys would take it upon yourself to mix the cupcakes completely baffles me. However when called, it was told that we could come pick up a our new orders. Upon returning to the store, the gesture of 3 cupcakes was given because of you guys' mistake. You guys completely messed up an order of 96 cupcakes; but only want to give 3. When asked about the entire order that was to be replaced, your representative stated that there were not enough cupcakes to cover the order. After being informed that there were not enough cupcakes, the 3 cupcakes were not accepted and the refund was requested bc it was also told that we could get our refund. After arriving to the store, there no replacement of cupcakes and the refund was refused. The owner just stated about the cupcakes not being returned. It was never requested; and with increase of Covid, I guess the owner was planning on resaling them. Interesting!! As stated before, this mishap is totally on Small Cakes. The main question is why would two orders of cupcakes be combined especially when the orders were placed and paid separately. Once again due the poor customer service of this establishment, I will NEVER shop here or at any small cakes; and I will definitely let everyone I know about my experience. Bad business!!!! read more

My cousin took me here while I was visiting her in Georgia! O-M-G they have the BEST cupcakes I've ever tasted in my life! There are no words to describe them! You just have to experience it for yourself! read more

Damnit this place is less than 5 minutes drive from my home. I'm just going to have to pretend its not there and that I did not experience what I did yesterday, because my waistline cannot tolerate regular visits. These are THE best cupcakes I've had in Atlanta hands down. That includes Cami Cakes, Piece of Cake, Gigi's and many others I can't remember the names of. They are so ooey gooey moist and not overly sweet. Just perfection. My husband isn't even the type who likes cupcakes that much and he hasn't stopped talking about this place since we had it. We got 3 flavors--lemon drop, chocolate pretzel w/ caramel, and some other chocolate flavor one. Delicious. read more

While I did not actually get to enjoy in a cupcake myself, the four I purchased were extremely well received. I purchased a small box for a meeting, where we were celebrating four birthdays. And I was doubtful two cupcakes would even be consumed, as one person is diabetic so rarely indulges, and another complained he never likes sweets. Well, everyone devoured their cupcakes and RAVED about them. (So much for me getting a leftover one.) I purchased the hot fudge sundae, strawberries and cream, lemon drop and a vanilla bourbon (which won over Mr. I-Don't-Like-Sweets). I can't wait to go back and try them myself. I also asked for extra bowls and spoons for serving. This makes eating them so much easier as they are GIGANTIC. And the young lady who was working was very helpful and accommodating. read more

With all of the hoopla I was disappointed in my Smallcakes, I purchased a few of them. They were not as moist as I'd expected especially being baked daily. Also, the icing was oily. Maybe it's just me, I prefer whipped cream frosting/icing. Perhaps this would have made my Smallcakes better. I am giving 4 stars for presentation and friendliness of the staff member who served me. read more

They're located in a small space upstairs- only a few tables in a hallway, so I wouldn't say it's a great place to take a date. The cupcakes we've tried are very good. The variety is huge. There is a menu on the wall of all the offerings and what day's they're made- greatly appreciated. Also very much appreciated that they do a gluten free cake on Tuesdays- red velvet I believe. We haven't tried that particular one yet. Cost seems right in line with everybody else- 3$ for a cupcake. Offerings do run out near the end of the day, so don't expect the whole menu 5 minutes before closing- what they do have is fresh. From our tastings of what's in West Cobb, they're as good if not better than anyone else. If you want to range just a little further, might check my other reviews...... read more

Great cupcakes, disappointing service. My wife and I wanted to have cupcakes for our wedding and tried out the cupcakes. The teen behind the counter was able to fill that order and we enjoyed the cupcakes. We then tried to order cupcakes for our casual backyard wedding and we wanted to have the display trays that the store had pictures of on the wall. The teen behind the counter was only able to find the oft photocopied order sheet that we filled out but was not able to arrange or manage any other wedding request. We left waiting to hear back. After a week or so we came back to get more of the cupcakes for ourselves and to follow up on our order. The different teen again was perfectly capable of filling our order but could not find our previous order. We filled out our order again and requested to have a special setup for the wedding. I had to write information around the photocopy banding lines on the order sheet to ensure that the information was legible. On the 3rd of August, I received an early call to advise me that they were working on my order and that they just needed some more information to ensure that our order would be ready by this afternoon. I politely pointed out that our order was for the 31st of August, and that we still had not had the opportunity to discuss any of the delivery or simple display requests that we had. We went to the store that day to follow up and met with another teen behind the counter, who was able to find both of our orders, but advised that the owner/manager/adult who could make decisions about the delivery or display would not be available until the 15th. We were disappointed that our attempt to feed a small crowd with otherwise delicious cupcakes, was continually thwarted. I hope that they improve their ability to service larger orders or special occasions. read more
