Random adventure after the mall and it led me to Small Cakes. Sweets, coffee and friendly service is the typical thing to expect fromSmall Cakes. The cookies are soft like but firm. The Sinful Carmel cupcake is the cupcake I had. The bread is moist and soft and the icing didn't make my stomach hurt either so I appreciate that. Will definitely come back to Small Cakes and recommend others to do so

This place is super new to the area and I've been eyeing it, anticipating its opening. Today, I finally walked in to check it out but didn't/couldn't taste anything bc of the sugars due to my diabetes. It's super cute and super clean inside. They make cakes/cupcakes and puppy cakes for custom order as well. Since walking in, they had a lot of foot traffic at 1pm on a Friday. They have outside seating, which is perfect for the summer days. Next time I come, I'll have my daughter try out the sweets!

Came here for a quick coffee and snack break. First thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean everything was. The workers were nice, friendly, and knowledgeable in the menu. I ordered the southern charm breakfast sandwich (not pictured) and it was delicious! The coffee was good I was expecting it to be super sweet but it was not overly sweet and had a nice coffee flavor. The cupcakes were very good and not overly sweet either. You could really taste the flavors of the cake itself. I am not a huge sweets person but I can see myself coming here again

These assorted cupcakes are always a hit!

We love Smallcakes in Modesto! This place is beautiful and clean inside, and their cupcakes are just amazing! Cupcakes are soft, moist, flavorful and so yummy. Love all their flavors, esp the ube, Chocolate cream and chocoholic! Everyone loves it when we bring these cupcakes to parties! They have delicious ice cream that my kids love. Also tried their taro drink with coffee jelly and it was so good! So happy to have a sweet treat place in town like Smallcakes!

Came in a cute box, and that's my mostly eaten cupcake

Super cute ambiance. Excellent coffee (and I can be picky on my coffees) got the cold caramel coffee. Very nice and welcoming service. Very willing to go the extra mile as far as service goes. I got a chocolate cupcake (can't remember the exact name, but kinda triple chocolate) and the cake part was moist and the perfect density. It came in an adorable box, perfect for gifting. The frosting was not very chocolate. If I closed my eyes and ate it I wouldn't think it was chocolate, more like a plain buttercream. It had real chocolate shavings on top. Also there's a nice little patio outside. I do recommend

Been wanting to try this place as I work down the street and finally caught them while they were open. It's super cool + convenient that they've got a drive through, too. Cupcakes were good-sized and tasted great. The frosting isn't too sweet, and the cupcake base was very soft but held up well/didn't crumble too much. They've got tons of options, too, so I'm planning on going back.

Pure Love! Lol

Beautiful and delicious works of art is the best way I can describe Dream it Cupcakes! I was…read moreplanning a 60th surprise party for my mom and found this place just randomly by searching online for cupcakes in the Modesto area. Let me first say I live in the Bay Area where high end cupcake boutiques are abundant and I work in the sweets and confections industry so not to sound snobby but I have very high expectations for my desserts. Since the party was going to be in Modesto I wanted to find a local baker for the cupcakes. I first visited their website and everything looked lovely they make cupcakes, cakes and cookies so I decided to give them a try. Within a day I got a response from the owner Lauren. I told her I wanted to do a "Dutch" theme for the cupcakes and cookies- think tulips and windmills. Lauren said she could do that, I sent her just a few inspirational pictures I found online and that was that. A couple weeks later it's party day and I'm not really sure what to expect but given what I saw from the website I was confident these would turn out great. Lauren promptly arrived at the party venue with the delivery (about 80 cupcakes and 80 cookies) and I was beyond impressed! Her creations were beyond my expectations! I will post the picture so prospective customers can see how incredible they look. The tulips on the cupcakes were perfect and the windmill cookies were spot on, I can't believe she was able to do such a specific intricate request. In addition to how beautiful they were they tasted just as amazing! The cupcake frosting was mouthwatering and the cake was the perfect texture (she can do pretty much any flavor you want). The cookies were equally incredible. I can tell she must use premium products but without the premium price which is awesome. Everyone at the party was loving them all asking where I got them. I told everyone about Lauren from Dream it Cupcakes so I hope she gets some new customers because she is a pro! Thank you so much again Lauren you helped to make the day perfect!

I ordered a custom heart shaped cake and was very clear about what I wanted: whipped cream frosting…read moreon the outside and chocolate ganache filling with caramel and pecans on the inside. I even told them I don't like buttercream because it's too sweet and that I didn't want it anywhere on this cake. When I placed the order, they asked if they could add a little buttercream to the outside for texture. I said okay, but only a tiny bit mixed with the whipped cream. What showed up was all buttercream on the outside with zero whipped cream. When I asked about it, they told me it was whipped cream. I know what I'm tasting, and so did my guests. It was definitely buttercream. The inside was even worse. There was some ganache but barely any. The further we cut into the cake, the more buttercream we found. I did not want buttercream inside the cake at all. I barely agreed to a little on the outside and they didn't even respect that. The photos show it clearly. The further we cut, the messier and more uneven it got with just buttercream and buttercream. One slice had a thin layer of ganache with barely any pecans or caramel. Everything else was buttercream. I picked this bakery because I had a good experience with them the first time. The design looked nice, but the cake itself was really disappointing. Way too sweet from all that buttercream I specifically said I didn't want. I gave them detailed feedback with photos. Instead of owning up to it, the decorator got defensive. He said he used buttercream as glue to hold the cake together. But that doesn't make sense. If ganache worked fine as glue on my first order with them (which had no buttercream inside at all), why couldn't he do the same thing this time? He just chose to use a lot of buttercream instead of actually following what I asked for. I even sent more photos pointing out exactly where the problem was. But they still insisted it was whipped cream. My guests noticed it too. So are they lying? Management offered me a 10% discount on my next order. That doesn't help. I paid for a cake that didn't meet what I asked for and it ruined my event. I asked for a 50% refund which seemed fair. They read the message but never answered. Just complete silence. If a bakery is going to charge premium prices for custom cakes, you need to actually follow what the customer asks for. I was crystal clear about what I wanted. That's literally the whole point of a custom order. They like to ignore customers when there's an issue. I was ignored at first, then only responded after I pointed out how unprofessional they were handling things. That's when they offered the 10% discount. But the moment I asked for a fair 50% refund, they ghosted me completely. No response, nothing. That says everything you need to know about how they treat customers who have legitimate concerns.

We stopped in for the first time today. I had no idea what to expect, but was slightly underwhelmed…read moreby the amount of options compared to other shops in the area. There were limited quantities of each so I'm not sure if they have more things on the weekends, which would totally make sense for a local small business on a random Tuesday. Parking is easy once you find it and although the inside is very small there are a few chairs and cafe tables perfect for a duo. Nonetheless, we left with a good haul and got one of almost everything: Red velvet slice, Carrot cake slice, Chocolate Mousse slice, Chocolate brownie, and Lemon bar. They also had a sheet cake, a small pack of cupcakes and cake pops in a separate case, so I wasn't sure if those were preorders or display or available for purchase. Here's what I loved: THE BROWNIE. One of the best I've ever had! The lemon bar was also delicious, super tart and perfectly baked. I'd get either of those again! Customer service was very friendly, prices were clearly displayed and fair, and the portions were good sizes. Here's what I just liked: The cake part of the red velvet, mousse, and carrot cake was a bit dry. They were beautifully decorated, the frosting and fillings were great, but the cake itself just wasn't as soft and moist as I was hoping. Another Yelper mentioned sticking the cake in the microwave and I wish I would have tried that. Definitely a small business worth supporting!

This was my first visit the Dessert European Cakes and Pastries, also called Dessert European…read moreBakery. Upon entering, I was struck by three things, how friendly the worker was, how hard the door was to open (I do have mobility issues on occasion), and how little there was on display to choose from. Still, I found a couple of nice items (red velvet and some serious chocolate cake) my wife loved the chocolate but we found the red velvet to be quite dry and hard. I suspect that it had been in the case far too long. Fortunately the chocolate was so good, my wife said that it more than made up for it. Overall, the ambiance was simple bakery, nice folks, serving well. I suspect where these nice folks shine is in pre-orders (which makes TOTAL sense, as foot traffic, particularly in this bakery's location would be a tough sell indeed). I suspect that we will be keeping Dessert European Cakes and Pastries in mind for our upcoming bakery needs.
