    Packaging
    Arisha H.

    I was in the area for an event and decided to stop in and was not disappointed. The business is very clean and beautifully decorated. There are tables if you decide to eat inside. There's even an area for kids. Staff was knowledgeable and patient. I chose a variety of options - strawberry, lemon, birthday, and German chocolate. These cupcakes are extremely moist and rich. Some have filling and some don't. The frosting is creamy and smooth buttercream. It wasn't gritty at all. I didn't try the ice cream. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Two gorgeous cupcakes that tasted as good as they looked!

    Had a great walk-in experience at Smallcakes! We walked over after we had dinner and entered into an aesthetic and vibe that was friendly and welcoming. Surprisingly, they had an ice cream selection that was intriguing as well but the wife and me both decided on trying a cupcake. I had the carrot cake one which was pleasantly dense and moist. It wasn't overpowered by the icing as some cupcakes tend to get. Top notch cupcake. The wife had some sort of chocolate selection and sang its praises as well. The packaging was cute and protective. And I really dug the logo that adorned the top of the box. Recommended to all.

    Love this spot for cupcakes! While they are a bit on the pricy side, they are large and have plenty of cupcakes options to choose from. There is a rewards system as well, which is nice. The icing is thick and very sweet! I usually knock off half and eat the rest. It is perfect for me. I actually like this place so much I had them make my bee themed cake and cupcakes. Turned out so cute and fun! They worked with my schedule so I could pick them up when it was convenient for me. There is plenty of parking, and a few other shops and restaurants near by. The staff are friendly and willing to help with anything you need. And they always answer their phone which is something I always appreciate in a business. No robo answering is great! Haha

    These cupcakes are my favorite, as they are consistently good. I love the chocoholic, the birthday cake, and the cookies and cream. These bad boys are huge so you'll get your monies worth. The service is always friendly and kind- always greeted with a smile. They did some upgrades to the decor maybe a year ago or so, and it's super cute. We love coming here and we will be back.

    8/24/20: We showed up about 20 mins before closing. I had a taste for cake & ice cream and remembered this place offered homemade ice cream. I sent my family in to order my Oreo cupcake with vanilla ice cream & it was my first time tasting it. YUM YUM YUMMYYY!! Their ice cream was so delicious & they give such a HUGE helping of it between the halved cupcake. I didn't want to waste it, so I ate as much as I could. Unfortunately for me, I got sick right in their parking lot. OMGGGG! I thought I could handle it. I should have listened to my body. It definitely told me to stop before I got to the middle of the cup of ice cream. You could definitely share that ice cream with 2 others easily. I learned my lesson, that's for sure. Lol. Don't be like me!! In the future, I will stick to my normal 1 cupcake. That was definitely delicious as well. It was moist & fresh, even at the end of the day. Smallcakes is one of my favorite cupcake spots & I visit them a lot both in NC and VA. I recommend them 1000%. Just don't be greedy like I was tonight. :)

    Wedding cake cupcake flavor is the best!!! It's an almond vanilla flavored cake with icing. Soooo good!!!! Got to stop here if you're passing through in a road trip to and from VB!!!

    Had a taste for something sweet and was near Smallcakes. I went in wanting a strawberry cupcake, but opted for the Boston Cream Pie. It was delicious and paired well with my mid-day cup of coffee. Only wish there was more custard in the middle of the cupcake. I love the cute little boxes they put the sweet treats in! I'll definitely return to try another (or two).

    First introduced to SmallCakes in ATL. Was hooked ever since. I've visited locations in GA, OH, IN, TX and now here in VA. I've been to other locations where the cupcakes aren't the freshest... TODAY, Newport News, VA had it going on. The cupcakes were so moist and delicious. There were a lot of options to choose from. Staff was patient and friendly. She answered all my questions. Besides ATL, this might be my favorite location thus far. My favorite cupcake is the key lime one, however those are special order at all the locations. Will def return for their yummy cupcakes. Can't wait to put in my specialty order whenever I have another event or gathering.

    My daughter's (Madison Gappert) now (Ellis) 21st birthday celebration!

    I looked up bakery's on Yelp and found Smallcakes just down the road from us. The cake turned out beautiful! I was very pleased with everything. The cake was very moist and flavorful. The staff at the shop were wonderful. I will definitely use them again.

    This kiosk located at Patrick Henry Mall is truly a find in the Peninsula with an inspirational…read morestory. The owner was a police officer who decided to leave his position along with his wife who was a court clerk. A year later, their dream is still going strong. They have a strong media presence on Facebook, which I keep up with where they showcase their weekly flavors. However, I am very surprised there are no Yelp reviews for them. Oh well, guess I'm the first one up :) I actually came here on two occasions, with the first one taking place during their 1st anniversary of operation and they even sold their cupcakes costing only a dollar. As a matter of fact, they even sold out. Talk about support from the community. For my first visit, I bought a Strawberry Crunch cake along with a Strawberry Crunch cupcake for my girlfriend (she gave thumbs up). And for my 2nd time around, I ended up choosing Banana Pudding cake. Very, very delicious. Both cakes were full of flavor and very moist, which is most important. I am a frosting type of guy so I truly give them thumbs up You can definitely tell they put their heart and soul into delivering a product. If you want to support a Veteran owned, minority owned business, do check them out. And be sure to follow them on social media. You will not be disappointed.

    I've had O's cakes multiple times and it's absolutely delicious every time. The cakes are moist and…read moreflavorful. I would highly recommend this place. It's a good place to get cakes and cupcakes.
