    Vanilla and chocolate cupcakes
    Viara K.

    I am absolutely thrilled with the cupcakes and birthday cake that I ordered for my daughter from Smallcakes. Mariya and her team did a phenomenal job and I was blown away not only by the creativity, composition, quality of ingredients, and customer service, but also by the incredible taste of the cake and cupcakes!! Everyone at my daughter's birthday party was raving about the cake and the cupcakes, and how beautiful and delicious they were. I can't wait for the next occasion to come back in order another memorable dessert! I HIGHLY recommend ordering from them!

    These are the best cupcakes I've ever eaten!!! Clean shop with an assortment of cupcakes on full display. Unique, one-of-a-kind cupcakes are made daily. Even theme cupcakes for holidays are there. And of course, they have everything from gender reveal to faux Girl Scout cookie cupcakes! Service is great. Friendly, customer oriented staff. You have got to try these!

    Red Velvet Cupcake

    I am not a big cake person but these are absolutely delicious! They are so moist and perfectly sweet. I tried the red velvet, Mississippi mud, and the Boston cream ones. Great flavor and they are huge! I would definitely give these cupcakes a try.

    Wow! This is all that I can say right now about the Smallcakes Jumbo Cupcakes. Wow... I order the following Jumbo Cupcakes: 2-Red Velvet 1-Carrot Cake 1-Boston Creme 1-Snickers Here we go... The Carrot Cake took me where I had never gone before. This creation was so moist and favorable that I had to apologize to my wife because I felt like I was cheating on her with this cupcake. I was in an intimate relationship with this cupcake. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this one a 15. My wife had one of the Red Velvet, and within seconds, her aura disappeared within the aroma and taste of this creation. When I asked my wife if I could taste some of this cupcake, she acted as if I asked for an organ. She did rave about how delicate the taste was. I thought about eating the second one I purchased, but my wife reminded me of how great a woman's scorn can be on those who mess with someone's food. I yield in my pursuit. My granddaughter devoured the Boston Creme and Snickers. When I asked her if they tasted good, she just looked at me with a face full of cupcakes, nodding her head in affirmation. Overall, all of these cupcakes were fire! I am highly recommending this place. The size, taste, moisture, and cost were well worth my continual patronage of this establishment.

    Just a box of deliciousness! We love Smallcakes

    Our favorite cupcake spot quickly became Smallcakes several years ago. Although not a Richmond's own cupcake shop, we simply can not resist these jumbo, moist, and flavorful cupcakes. I mean every regular and specialty flavor is absolutely delicious. We also order custom cakes throughout the year and they never lack in the details. The ice cream here is great as well. So if you're looking for a DELICIOUS cupcake, maybe a Smallcakes cupcake will help! Overall Score: 10/10 Location: Great 10/10 Prices: Reasonable 9/10 Customer Service: Good 9/10 Food: Delicious 10/10 Highly Recommended

    Red Velvet Cupcake
    Cammy K.

    Yum! I stopped by after lunch to surprise my boyfriend with a sweet. We both commented that they had to be some of the best cupcakes we've ever had. I had the Red Velvet cupcake and my boyfriend the Carrot Cake. The cake was super moist and the cream cheese frosting seemed whipped and didn't overwhelm the flavor of the cake. I want to go back and try them all!

    11/7/20: I love cupcakes & definitely love Smallcakes. This was my first visit to this location though & it rubbed me wrong from the moment I went inside. They only allow 2 customers in at a time which I have no problem with. What I DO have a problem with, however, is poor customer service. The young lady who waited on me was NOT friendly & didn't say a word to me, even after I spoke to her. She kind of just stood there looking at me like I was a bother. Now, usually, I'd leave because places like that do not deserve my coins. BUT I wanted a treat & I wanted a cupcake. I ordered 3 cupcakes: Sweet Potato Casserole, Oreo, & one with sprinkles for my son. I have a punch card from a different Smallcakes & asked if they accepted it. She said they didn't and they use phone numbers instead, so I signed up with her. She then abruptly told me to insert my card & asked if I needed a receipt. I took the receipt and thanked her, but I really wanted to tell her off. Lucky for her, cupcakes make me HAPPY & I didn't let her nasty attitude bother me too much. The cupcakes were yummy, as usual. My friend did not enjoy Sweet Potato Casserole one though. The flavors did nothing for him. I'm not sure if I'll come back to this location. As much as I love Smallcakes, I can't see going out of my way to come back with the service I received today.

    The actual cake in the cupcake, it's pretty good. Moist and good flavor. The issue for me is the frosting. I ordered an assortment of cupcakes but the frosting on all of the ones I tried had the flavoring of a supermarket cake. I prefer cupcakes that are professionally baked but taste more home made than store bought. These cupcakes definitely taste store bought.

    These cupcakes are amazing! They're huge, moist, and very flavorful. I eat a lot and honestly, I'm perfectly content with eating just half a cupcake. They definitely have some weight to them. I really like that they have a lot of creative toppings to choose from and the quality is top notch. Best of all, the icing to cake ratio is perfect. Even if I refrigerate them for three days, I just let them sit on the counter for about 10 minutes and they taste just as good and fresh as they did on the first day. Mind blown! I've had many fancy cupcakes from a lot of cities and these are definitely some of the best that I've ever had.

    Chocolate Cream Cupcake, strawberry cheesecake cupcake, and Peanut Butter Cupcake

    Went in as a spur of the moment thing to research some local bakeries for an order I needed in the future for a friend that has soy allergies. Thankfully the company has listed on their bakery case a list of all allergens they used which was really nice to have listed out! They do use soy like most bakeries so I wasn't able to order future orders but while there figured we would give them a try ! The cupcakes are quite large! We split them when we got home . The selection they offer daily is great, something for any mood your tastebuds are in. We elected to try a chocolate/chocolate, a chocolate /peanutbuttee, and the strawberry cheesecake as well as the birthday cake one (unfortunately the person helping most have misheard me and we realized when we got home we were missing the 4th cupcake). The strawberry cheesecake was the crowd favorite , refreshing and light and airy but the chunks of cheese cake it it were devine. The chocolate peanut butter was a hit too. The chocolate was good but the icing didn't taste chocolate lily enough for me personally, it tasted more like normal buttercream icing with a chocolate hint. They also offer mini cupcakes, Icecream and sundaes that future a cup full of a cupcake cut up with Icecream in it! Reminds me of a birthday party where you had your cake and ice cream, such a fun concept! Worth the drive to midlo to check out this local business, if you go check out the birthday cake one and let me know your thoughts!

    Chocoholic, Cookies and Cream and Red Velvet Cupcakes

    The cupcakes are pretty good, but the ice cream is the star in my opinion. Definitely worth a try.

    Good option for dairy-free / vegan ice cream. The staff were extremely kind and helpful when we…read moretold them we were vegan and even let us try the two options before we selected their dairy-free peppermint patty. When we asked if their cones were vegan, they also brought out their ingredients book to confirm which options we could have (their cake cones and sugar cones are vegan btw lol). Super nice and we really appreciated the extra support. Ambience-wise, there's no seating indoors or outdoors, but it's very clean and bright - definitely well-kept and busy. Overall, pretty good and a thumbs up from me :)

    This is my first time to the Richmond shop. Took the kids up to DC many years ago to try out the…read moreone there before it came to Richmond and remember really liking the brown butter almond brittle. The Richmond shop is bright and airy and the service is very friendly. I like how they're very open to giving you samples and not making you feel bad about it. At least on my trip. My family and I ordered the salted peanut with chocolate flecks (which I thought was good but needed more chocolate), Texas sheet cake (which I think is the dairy free version of the chocolate blackout cake. I didn't realize it was dairy free so I picked it thinking you could taste the chocolate more but I think most of us preferred the chocolate blackout cake) green mint chip (which was very good and my daughter smartly combine this with the chocolate blackout cake. Salted peanut butter would've been good with the CBC as well ) and double dough which was pretty awesome. I'm actually normally not a cookie dough ice cream fan because I prefer the cookie but I thought this was done very well. My only disappointment was that they did not have any kind of coffee flavor, which is my go to for most ice cream stores besides the classic chocolate, peanut butter and mint chip. It would be nice if they had some indoor seating. I feel like there is potential for it. As for parking- it's on Cary so it's a crapshoot.
