I had a good experience with Smallcakes in Severna Park, MD. I had a custom order of strawberry shortcake cupcakes. They were delicious. Soft, moist, and full flavor. The buttercream icing is classic and fresh strawberries were used for the topping. The customer service was good and very helpful with placing my order. The bakeshop looks and feels like a bake shop, with glass display cases showcasing their featured goods. However, they also offer ice cream here, seasonal pies, and other sweet treats like banana pudding and their signature SMASH cups. SMASH is essentially a cupcake cut in half and layered with a couple scoops of ice cream of your choice. The classic cake and ice cream duo. Overall, a good experience and I will visit again for both custom orders and single servings. read more

This is the third time I've used small cakes and they are wonderful. Not only are there cakes tasty and they give a lot of variety to choose from but the people working there are very easy to talk to and professional. I had a delivery and they were right on time and very very cordial. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a sweet treats read more

This is a cute bakery with wonderful service. Nykia had a really great personality and she was very patient. The cupcakes are very pretty, but they weren't very good to me. I've had box cake taste exactly the same. My husband thought the cookies and cream one was ok. I thought it was ok as well. My daughter thought the birthday cake one was ok. My husband thought the wedding cake one was ok, but my daughter and I hated it. My daughter and husband thought the red velvet was just ok and I didn't like it at all. Overall, the cupcakes weren't good enough to return. read more

The cupcakes are pretty good and when I took my family they were raving about the cupcakes as well and were fans of the items they purchased. Now that I'm older its a bit to sugary for me. I took two stars off because they are inconsistent when it comes to the hours and operation of the restaurant. When I looked on Google, it said that the store was opened. I drive up there today and see a store that looks empty on the inside with no cakes displayed and the lights off with a mop bucket in the center of the floor. Then I see a sign that they have closed this location and have moved. That's really unfortunate because the only other location I know of is in White Marsh MD and I'm not driving up that far. read more

My niece was in town for a quiet weekend with family to celebrate her 30th birthday. It turns out that it was also mine and my twin's birthday a few days before and my bonus son's birthday was the same day as my nieces. I was put in charge of bringing dessert. Knowing that we all have very different tastes I thought it would be good to get a sampling of cupcakes and had heard good things about Smallcakes. The store was clean and tidy and we were greeted as soon as we entered. It was getting closer to closing time so it was quite quiet and some of the stock was gone for the day but we still had wonderful options to choose from. We selected a dozen cupcakes and we're on our way quickly. A little bit pricey but after we sample the cupcakes, totally worth every penny! If you haven't been to Smallcakes, you should go, you're totally missing out! Love supporting small local businesses!!! read more

Stopped in to try their cupcakes and ordered the small size wedding cake flavor. The icing was delightful, but the cake was so stale. The young girl was very friendly and knew probably that they are hard but thought it was because they had been frozen. She said they were making me a new one and went to the back to get it. She said it would be fresher but could be that it was still cold. I ate the cupcake once I got into my car, but it wasn't fresh at all. I think they don't do a lot of business, so they were probably old. I was disappointed in the freshness. read more

DO NOT USE. Worthless and untrustworthy. Ruined a Birthday. Not to be trusted. Awful and non responsive. Buyer beware - they will not abide by the website to which they are affiliated. I placed an order and they chose not to fulfill it simply because they didn't want to. Responded an hour after delivery was due, that they weren't going to fulfill the order placed online. read more

They changed the cupcake and frosting recipe ? Please change back. Still pretty but take bland.

Bottom Line: Beautiful and delicious cupcakes perfect for a special occasion or special treat. Wow! This place is great. It had been on my list of places to try for a long time and I finally made it on a Sunday afternoon. The interior is bright and cute and the cupcakes are whimsical and pretty. When I was there they had about eight to ten meticulously decorated cupcake flavors. We chose a birthday cake cupcake and a peanut butter chocolate cupcake. Both were so yummy! The cake was light and airy and the frosting was dense and decadent. Smallcakes also has ice cream but for me I'm all about the baked goods! The employees were energetic and friendly. read more

So appreciative that they were willing to bake me a pound cake birthday cake and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful. So hard to find a bakery that will bake a pound cake birthday so every year, it is a challenge as the ones from previous years did not turn out well. I have been everywhere including the Watergate Bakery with no luck. Smallcakes Annapolis did a wonderful job and their customer service is absolutely great. Highly recommended! read more

I absolutely love this place, but I'm going to come right out and say it, why only have the strawberry shortcake cupcake on Wednesday only ‍ that's by far the best one. Please change that.

There is nothing small about the deliciousness of the desserts at this place. I love ice cream, but then again who doesn't?! A friend recommended that I try the banana pudding ice cream here. A fine recommendation indeed. It was bursting with flavor and banana pudding goodness. The servers were friendly and pleasant, patient and attentive. I also took home 4 of their cupcakes and oh my goodness!!!! The decadence, the moisture, the flavors. Small cakes is a gold medal winner! read more

I'm always in search of a good cake or cupcake. I stopped here today right before closing time. I was greeted by a bubbly staff member. Options were limited due to the time. I opted for the red velvet cupcake and a lemon cupcake. Talk about moist! I was hesitant and expected a stale cupcake but the red velvet was fresh. They also have ice cream that I need to try. I'll be back in the future at a better time. read more

I recently placed an order with Smallcakes for a custom birthday cake for my Dad who was turning 80 along with cupcakes. I was familiar with the business because I had purchased cupcakes before and they were delicious. I wasn't sure that would be the case with the cake, but I am happy to say that the cake was equally delicious. Not only was the product fresh and great tasting, the ordering process was easy and efficient. I requested that my order be delivered and they were on time and the cake looked fantastic. I would highly recommend them for your sweet needs. read more

It is the hardest thing to not show up here everyday when they first open to grab cupcakes. My family and I never get tired of them and this sets the standard for what cupcakes should be. The bread is ALWAYS soft and moist. They make all of theirs homemade and you can tell by the flavor. My go to cupcake is the wedding cake, pink vanilla and the amazing hot fudge sundae. I usually grab a variety but those are my top 3. The cake push pops are such a fun treat as my teen just grabs a couple each time he sees them. read more

I must say this bakery went above & beyond my expectations. I've never had any of their pastries nor been to the bakery before . However, I took a leap of faith trusted them and I must say customer service was a phenomenal from time of inquiring to ordering & picking up. They helped me with customizing the cake and definitely went above & beyond. The carrot cake was delicious and moist, my husband was very pleased and happy. I could give this bakery 20 stars! Thank you. read more

Okay cupcakes and ice cream here but the staff is really nice! The cupcakes are yummy but nothing to write home about. The ice cream could be creamier and more flavorful. The smash is like $8 (a cupcake with ice cream in between- see photo) and I thought it was good but I could go somewhere else for a better cupcake and ice cream. The staff was super nice and friendly. The only real complaint I have is one worker was handling the cash register and the ice cream. Even though she wasn't directly touching the ice cream, it's still pretty unsanitary. Given that the cupcakes and ice cream are pretty expensive ($3-4) and the taste was eh, I'm not sure I will be back. read more

The cupcakes are good, it's moist and not too sweet. The frosting is VERY Decadent and sweet! The unfortunate part of the different flavors is that they use the same base cupcake(vanilla and chocolate) and change the frosting. I was hoping the lemon drop would be a lemon cake...nope just a normal vanilla...same for the salted caramel and wedding cake. The cookies and cream and peanut butter crunch..both just chocolate cake. The strawberry and relief were the only other "flavored" cake, which were good! The frosting is very rich that each bite had to have frosting in order to have a "flavorful" which was hard because the frosting is very sweet! Frosting should enhance the cupcake, not over power it. The decor of each cupcake is beautiful! read more

I really wanted to like this place when a friend suggested it. He and his wife stumbled upon it and knowing I love cupcakes. So, I made the trip on the way home and walked in. The space was. Ice and the aroma of cupcakes filled the air. It was clean and there was seating so you could enjoy your cupcakes quickly! We walked in and saw a customer on the phone sitting down. We saw a few folks in the back. We thought they stepped in the back for a moment so, we looked around. We were standing there for about 6 min and I rang the bell. No one came forward so, I rang it again no one and then this little guy came from the back with a apron on cute kid and said hi can I help you. . Then a little girl maybe around 12. She greeted us and then took out order. A women stepped out front and also said hi. We ordered the chocoholic cupcake and a wedding cakes. They were decent but I would not say great. I would try them again as a local option and would say they are the best tasting I've had in Annapolis. Again they were decent not great but would go there again. read more

Cupcakes are great, but the heavy-set woman behind the counter was snippy and disrespectful. I waited 10-15 minutes because a customer in front of me was buying a lot of ice cream. No one else can come out and help? Then the woman behind the counter proceeds to tell me I should have called ahead because it took her an extra 15 seconds to add additional cream cheese icing (a request I aways make and with others who worked here without any drama). Then she starts arguing that she told my "partner" (spouse)to call ahead - not true - and really? I wonder where she came up with the term "partner"? Very unpleasant and unnecessary experience. read more

Hmmm...I'm trying to think of a reason not to give Smallcakes 5 stars and so far, I haven't come up with anything yet. Yesterday, I found myself in a not so good mood and by the afternoon, I developed a serious craving for something sweet. I have been following Smallcakes on Facebook with every intention of visiting since they opened. Well, I just so happened to be scrolling down my Facebook timeline and saw a post about brown sugar peach & bourbon ice cream. And that, my friends, is when I knew it was time to stop in Annapolis on my way home from work to get a sweet pick me up. Upon entering the store, I was greeted by an employee although she was in the middle of helping someone else. I'm not sure if she was the owner but she was helpful and full of smiles which instantly put me in a better mood. I ended up getting two cupcakes: the peanut butter cup and the birthday cake. I also asked to sample the brown sugar peach & bourbon ice cream and eventually ended up getting a scoop. You can definitely taste the bourbon in this ice cream so much so that you have to be 21 or older to get some. There were also little specks of peaches in the ice cream as well. The cupcakes were tasty and moist and the frosting wasn't too overbearing. I thought the cupcakes were a little bigger than the average cupcake. When you bite into the birthday cake cupcake, you can see the specks of vanilla bean in the cupcake which is something I personally appreciate. The cupcake prices were your typical gourmet cupcake prices. I believe I paid $7 for two. The store itself is cute, clean, and fun. There's a few tables if you would like to sit down and enjoy your treats. Next time I have a sweet tooth (which happens often), I'll be sure to return to get my fix. I look forward to trying some of the other ice cream and cupcake flavors. read more

Meh. I have a feeling the cupcakes would've tasted amazing IF they hadn't been burning some candle or scented whatever it was with an open glass case of their cupcakes. The cupcakes looked so delicious and their flavors made my mouth water instantly. The packaging was even cute and useful when taking the cupcakes home. However, when we entered, my nose was not welcomed to the scent of sugar and cupcakes. It was welcomed with the scent of some kind of air freshener. Candles ? Heated wax? No mater what it was, it over powered all my senses. When I looked over at the glass case and saw it was open back, I knew instantly that those cupcakes were going to taste EXACTLY how the store tasted. I could've walked out and said nevermind but I figured to still give them a chance. Because they still looked amazing. Unfortunately, when I did finally get to taste test them when I got home, I was sad to confirm my assumptions. It tasted exactly like air freshener plus a hint of chocolate. As a celebratory cupcake for myself, you can probably imagine how anticlimactic that gorgeous looking cupcake tasted to me. I hope to give them a try again and up my ratings. But if I end up coming back and that whatever air freshener candle scented smell greets me before the sugar does, I will most likely just walk right back out. Sorry. read more

if you go off presentation these cupcakes are definitely a 10/10. They were beautiful and look amazing being displayed. The cupcakes are very fluffy and light. We love the taste of them but unfortunately they all taste alike. We tried 4 flavors and it all tasted the sand except the caramel icing did have a different taste. I love a good lemon cupcake but there wasn't any lemon flavor except for a tiny bit in the center of the cupcake and a little lemon flavor in the middle of the icing. The birthday cake wedding cake looked different but tasted exactly the same. I would recommend checking this place out because it's very cute and they offer a great variety but I guess of all the same just different looking. Side note, the pup cupcakes were a hit. definitely get those for your pups. read more

I love this cupcake place! I have been in more times than I should but the cupcakes are always great!

Omg, these were the best cupcakes ever!!! So moist and delicious!!! We needed some pink frosting cover cup cakes for a baby reveal message. Well the lady working that day stated the only had Chocolate with Pink frosting. Well I ask her to save them and that we would be there in 5 minutes . So glad she saved them for us. They were worth every penny. When I come back to visit I will definitely make it a point to buy more. Yumm!! read more

Tasty cupcakes, but the service is horrid, and the prices a tad high. Not worth the effort to me. Place was empty and the workers there were noncommunicative and could not figure out how to make change. We have been twice, and both times it was the same - workers more interested in anything than filling an order or answering questions. The second time we left rather than wait 15 minutes with nobody else in the store. read more

These are the BEST cupcakes in Maryland. Like seriously, I am the pickiest person when it comes to cupcakes and I've been here three times and it's been better then the time before. Now, the price is a lot for a cupcake but it's a giant and packed full of amazing flavor. Usually cake doesn't have a taste and it's the frosting that does all the work but here? The cake is flavorful and just amazing. The only downside is that it is a bit crumbly and it can get messy. But I don't think I'll be going anywhere else to get cupcakes now. This is definitely a place that deserves all the business possible read more

Smallcakes - Their wedding cake cupcake (vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream with pearl decoration) - Bakeries Near Me - Severna Park, Maryland

I'm thrilled to have a new bakery in the area. It's remarkable that they manage to do both homemade ice cream and cupcakes. Here's my favorites based on the ones I tried. - chocolate: was very rich in chocolate flavor, plain Jane look but that's just fine. - salted caramel with pretzel- amazing!!! Dulce de leche frosting, not too sweet. Very pretty. - kids had sprinkle ones the vanilla cake was the same for these as with the caramel with flecks of vanilla. Let me just say it's hard to find... (or make) a nice homemade white cake in particular. There are no other flavors to hide behind. This is my absolute favorite white cake ever and although when asked I might say my favorite is a chocolate this vanilla base makes me question that. Thank you for a cupcake that makes me question life by the way. Listen I've have cupcakes at the best places.. I'm not a foodie I'm a sweetie (puns happen) these are excellent and worth the trip. Other comments: ambience is somewhat lacking.. can't put my finger on it I did go at a slow time. Loved the cupcakes wrappers and packaging. And although originally I thought looking at the cupcakes they were lacking quite a bit of frosting... they really stood out with the cake part, which if you go almost anywhere is treated more like a vessel for frosting. I'd love to meet the baker, she's very skilled. Five stars just for that honestly. Service was good too!! I'll be back to try ice cream. read more

The customer service alone, helps make this visit a special treat!! I brought a 4 pack of cupcakes, the red velvet is moist and the buttercream icing is the perfect amount of sweet.

This place is great!! read more

Dont be afraid to ring the bell for service. The wedding cake flavor is my favorite. Salted caramel is up there, too.

The cupcakes here are really good, the store is cute and nicely decorated, and you can tell everything is homemade. However, customer service isn't stellar and the prices are steep. If you don't mind paying $4 for a normal sized cupcake, you'll enjoy it. I get that they are gourmet cupcakes but dang that is pricey. A local cupcakery by my house has similar quality and is $1.50 cheaper per cupcake! I went in on a Tuesday during rush hour and it was dead. I don't see this place lasting unfortunately. Overall a positive experience, just way too much money for me to justify going. read more
