Birthday Cake
Hannah M.

I had ordered a cake for my boyfriends birthday and not only did it turn out amazing but it tasted so good! The cake was very moist and the icing had really good flavor. The handwriting on the cake was amazing! Definitely will be a repeat customer.

Cupcakes order prior to my sons birthday. I do not know if the holder are too large but this should never happen frosting melted.

Cup cakes taste great. The container are not the correct size or they should have been in a cool location. Check before bringing them home. Not happy.

As the mom of three now grown kids, I've made my share of cupcakes over the years. After visiting Smallcakes today, I realized I should've been charging for all those class sets of cupcakes - apparently you can get rich charging premium prices for tiny cakes. Smallcakes is a very small store for very small cakes. Karen, the lady who waited on me, was friendly and accommodating when I asked her a bunch of questions about the different flavors of the cakes. I settled on 4 flavors, a chocolate with chocolate icing, coconut, German chocolate cake, and vanilla. These four cakes costs just under 17 dollars. As the cakes are actually very large for cupcakes, I cut each one into 2 or 4 pieces and shared so my friends and I could have a sampling of each. The cakes were good with a nice texture. Usually I don't care much for any kind of store bought icing but the different icings on each cake were all tasty. My favorite was probably the German chocolate cake with the coconuty icing. The presentation of the cakes is very upscale nice, right down to a classy looking box with added insert to keep each cake separate. You could easily give one of these little boxes as a special hostess gift or just a small "I love/appreciate you" type offering. There are plenty of flavors to match to your intended recipient.

Delicious cake bites!

Best cupcakes I've ever had! I tried Smallcakes over 5 years ago and I've been hooked ever since.

Hair

I have been to this place more than once, this might be the last straw. While eating my chocolate cream cupcake I found this fine, blonde/gray hair. I know it isn't mine because I have thick black hair. I used to live and Columbia and the Smallcakes there is amazing, the cakes are great and each one is done with care and intention. This store has a smaller selection, each cake has different frosting amounts and they aren't done as well. I'll also mention that the Columbia store has the punch ticket option to earn a free cupcake. This store doesn't. Overall, finding the hair has confirmed that I will not be back.

Cupcakes and display

I have to say I was quite disappointed with this place. This place is a really nice spot presentation is on point and the prices are right. However, the cupcakes were just not up to part. They had a variety of cupcakes that looked very appealing. I ordered the cookies and cream, red velvet and lemon cupcakes. They all were okay nothing special or to go crazy about. The cakes them self were light but dry and all of the butter cream Icings were not flavorful taste more like powder sugar then anything else. I would not come here again I believe that the other cupcake place I went to in Kansas City were better. I don't recommend it to people who actually want their cupcakes to taste like the flavor they're supposed to be but if you just want something sweet be my guest!

Cute box with deliciousness inside

We used Smallcakes for our wedding cupcakes and they were amazing! They came in easy-to-transport boxes and were cute and super delicious.

It was so easy! I asked for a Halloween themed birthday cake for my bff that is allergic to eggs…read more No problem, and it wasn't! The cake was moist and delicious and so beautifully decorated! I will definitely order again.

TL;DR: This cafe is super cute and it's worth stopping by for a cupcake and a coffee if you're…read moreallergic to gluten and dairy or you're vegan. If you're neither of those things and wondering if it's worth a visit, I'd say you're better off sticking with options like French Market in Brookside. For food options, check out Cafe Gratitude, Whole Harvest Kitchen, or naturally vegan options like Blue Nile Cafe. The cupcakes here are generally high quality and have a great crumb to them, BUT I would recommend getting one cupcake of any given flavor first and making sure you like it before buying up a dozen or ordering a cake. The cupcakes here can be hit or miss, with some having a mushier texture or muddier flavor to them. Apart from the consistency issue, the only reason I wouldn't recommend The Littlest Bake Shop's pastries is because of the frosting. The frosting here is on the stiff, sugary side, which makes for pretty cupcakes but less than ideal mouthfeel. If you prefer frosting on the lighter side, this place likely isn't for you. I was a little bit more disappointed by the food. I ordered the Grilled Cheeze and the Littlest Big Brunch, and while everything was okay, nothing stood out. The greens on the side of the Grilled Cheeze were just spring mix without any kind of dressing, and the gravy was a weird gummy texture. Both dishes were way overpriced compared to the portion size, and the salt and pepper potatoes were the best part of each. Overall, I wanted to love this place much more than I actually did and would come back for a cupcake but not for the food.
