"Famous" Red Velvet Cupcake
Cindy J.

What an absolute delight !!! I was not aware that this location was a black owned business which made my heart rejoice !! I had the "famous" red velvet cupcakes which was beyond everything I expected. It was very moist and the right level of sweetness. The truck owner was so kind and warm as most of the food truck industry has been since I moved to CLT. The company offers cupcakes, ice cream and milkshakes and EZ Catering - it's dessert on wheels!!!! But it's you can't catch them - you are more than welcome to order line. Food trucking is definitely here to stay with the option of being mobile and reaching far more customers - this is business model is a gamechanger in the industry - hands down!!!!! Wow Great job SmallCakes - I will definitely be back soon! Thank you for the sweet treat.

Strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting!

First time ordering a cake from them, it did not disappoint. Probably the best I have ever had. Even the adults raved about it!

This is a clean, tidy and very welcoming place. The young lady running the show was very friendly, professional and helpful! I stopped at a nearby establishment and this cupcakery caught my eye! So I did my civic duty and I stopped in and purchased 3 chocolate chip cookies, a Chocoholic cupcake and a Peanut Butter cupcake. All of the items that I purchased were moist and fresh tasting! Ice cream is also available here. This is a franchise, but it didn't feel like it after I walked in, to make a purchase. Cash/Credit/Debit are accepted forms of payment.

If you have a sweet tooth this is the perfect spot to try. They have a variety of ice cream cupcakes and treats to meet your needs. The store is well lit and the staff are friendly. The decor is fun and cheerful. You can try the various flavors of ice cream before you purchase. The cupcakes are moist and delicious. I was able to try the red velvet and split the cosmopolitan with a friend. I look forward to trying some of the other flavors that they offer. They have a rewards program that you can enroll in to accumulate free treats. They have a shared parking lot was plenty of parking. I definitely recommend and hope you enjoy!

I don't have a crazy sweet tooth but every now and then I'd like a bite to take the edge off. Smallcakes had a great selection of cupcakes and staff is always nice.

Cupcake Milkshake
Gregory B.

Wow. This pic isn't the best, but this shake is - peanut butter cupcake milkshake with chocolate fudge ice cream. The cake pieces in the shake, wow. Could eat this every day!

On our way to the movies at Ayrsley Town Center, made a quick stop into this bakery for some indulgent treat! The place itself is also small, with minimal amount of chairs...somewhat conducive for ordering to go. I've been to other cupcake bakeries in town, as well as out of town, and honestly, this one is the most basic I've seen...meaning, nothing frilly or fancy. Still, the variety of cupcakes that were featured looked really good! BTW, I liked the attractive presentation of all the cupcakes, all labeled for easy ordering. After checking out some pics on Yelp, it seems to me that the variety of cupcakes were a bit different...so my guess is that the selection changes throughout the week? Anyway, I decided to order 4 cupcakes (Red Velvet, Pumpkin Spice, Strawberry with Butterscotch and Pink Vanilla), which I believe were priced at $15 (so approx $4 each). I guess this is about the norm for most cupcake bakeries. Since each cupcake is probably about 500 calories each, I really couldn't afford to eat all of it...so I just took several bites off each. I personally liked the Strawberry with Butterscotch the best, but they all were Dee-Lish! I have to say that the service was somewhat annoying and awkward at best. There were 2-3 small groups of customers (just 4 in total), including me, that came in around the same time, so I can get that they might have been a bit startled...but they all seemed more confused than they should be. Actually, part of this confusion is the horrible layout...which made it hard to determine just where to get in line, and where to order the cakes! Anyway, there were 3 female staff members there, yet It took a good 2-3 minutes before one of them offered assistance. Up until then, all 3 girls just sort of stared at us, darting from one to the next...again, confused as to who to help and when! I can't recall if any of them actually greeted us, nor if any of them even offered up a smile. The reception was just a bit odd... awkward. Also, when we were at the register, the cashier made the check-out process seem much more confusing and difficult than it should be. A Newbie, I suppose?? Again, I wasn't over or underwhelmed, but somewhat annoyed during my short stay. Still, this is a great, little cupcake bakery chain that's finally moved down South...so all I can say is that I'm glad it's here! Just hope the ordering process gets a bit smoother (less confusing?) next time around.

Millionaire pie, caramel pretzel on chocolate cupcake, caramel pretzel on vanilla cupcake, lemon drop

We don't get many cool places in Steele Creek, so this is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. My husband went a picked us up some cupcakes to go. He called to tell me what flavors they had and I was disappointed because there were only three non-chocolate flavors and two of them were basically vanilla. My husband asked if they could do any special orders and they did! They made me their caramel with pretzels on a vanilla cupcake instead of a chocolate cupcake. I also got a lemon drop cupcake. My husband and a friend got the millionaire pie and caramel with pretzels (on a chocolate cupcake). We all loved them. The cake was moist and flavorful. The icing was delicious. My favorite was the caramel one but both were great. My husband said they were super friendly in the store. They also have some free samples of their special cupcake for the week. They also have ice cream and come cool creations like a cupcake smash (ice cream between to halves of a cupcake) and cupcake milkshakes. I can't wait to go back and try those. This may just be my favorite cupcake place. Definitely worth checking out!

Gosh! We ate these so fast that I forgot to take a picture! I was picking up thai food after a quick stop at the outlets when I noticed this cupcake and ice cream shop next door. We got there right as they were closing but were still welcomed to come in and take a look. We couldn't help but order from their delicious offerings. They serve cupcakes, ice cream in different forms, brookies, brownies, soft drinks and even saw some pet treats. I ordered the red velvet and vanilla caramel cupcake. (The banana pudding ice cream tempted me but I was able to resist .) The cupcakes were so fresh, soft and moist, especially for getting them at the end of the day. The flavors were on point. I can't even choose my favorite between the two, they were that good. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

I recently stopped by SmallCakes on Steele Creek for some sweets! The inside is pretty intimate with some single table seating, a high top bar-like table along the windows and some seating outside. There was also this cute backdrop that I took a snap shot. I was welcomed and served by Leigh who was warm and helpful in the decision making process (which ice cream to pick lol). I decided to try a sample of banana pudding and Oreo cheesecake. Both were delicious but the banana pudding ice cream stood out more to me. I got a single scoop which is 5oz for about $4. It was a nice amount of ice cream for the size. This ice cream definitely tasted like banana pudding and will purchase again. I also decided to treat myself to four cupcakes (butter cake, cookies & cream, carrot, and strawberry) and a pecan brownie. I've only had the butter cake cupcake so far. The icing was a bit much BUT overall the cupcake was great. The cupcake was so soft, fluffy and moist! I am excited to try the other treats. In total I spent about $30 including a tip. Definitely recommend.

The fries were battered and very crispy. These are the best kind! Complimentary Puff Pastry (4/5): These had the flavor of the bread at Brazilian steakhouses but with a different texture. The pastry was crumbly and there was a chilled gruyere mousse inside. Nice way to start the meal. French Onion Soup (3/5): Thick soup with lots of flavor. A little too sweet and tangy for me. I liked how much cheese there was on top. Duck A L'Orange (3/5): The duck wasn't that great. The skin wasn't crispy and it was a little too gamey. There was also very little meat in general. The orange sauce was runnier than I expected and very subtle. Good amount of potatoes and green beans which were solid. La Ricane (4/5): Reminded me of a Snickers ice cream bar but instead of ice cream it was a fluffy nougat. Good, but hard to justify the price when the ice cream version from the store is better and much cheaper haha Complimentary Madeleine (3/5): Nice that they gave these out at the end of the meal! Soft and bready with a light lemon flavor.

The L'erreuer de Perséphone is a tequila based drink that has grapefruit, lime, cinnamon, and pomegranate. The Supernova is a gin based drink with house made lemonade, butterfly pea tea, elderflower, and lavender. (It was fun to watch her add the elderflower/lavender purple syrup to the top of the drink). The sweet bartender realized I was taking pictures and gave me a rosemary garnish and lemon twirl. The attention to detail was so kind. The atmosphere cannot be beat here. So far, La Belle Helene is my favorite to visit. The grand ceilings, stunning light, florals, and clean environment truly transport you. It is an elevated and upscale experience that truly makes me feel so special that I get to spend time in their space. I look forward to visiting again!

Since we were only running in and out, we just parked a block ahead on the street.

Service was pleasant and quick, and you can't beat the value (12 cookies for $8 instead of $24). We will have a few to enjoy over the weekend now. I would definitely return. @azfitfoodfun

We…read moreordered two peach cobblers, a caramel apple cobbler, and a cinnamon roll, and everything was absolutely perfect. The cobblers came out piping hot and paired with the vanilla ice cream on the side, they were incredibly delicious and definitely something I'll be daydreaming about later. They were also playing great music over the speakers, which added to the atmosphere, and the service was fantastic. The employees offered great recommendations and were always attentive, anticipating what we needed. We would've included a photo of the food, but it disappeared faster than we expected .

Overall, the experience was very mixed. We tried the OG, cheesecake, Butterfinger, bourbon praline, blackberry, blackberry peach cobbler, sweet potato and pralines, and peach cobbler flavors. The cobblers being served warm was definitely nice, and I'd say the cobblers were probably the best part of what we tried. They were decent, although they tasted more like canned fruit fillings than homemade cobbler. The banana puddings and ice cream were average at best -- not terrible, but nowhere near the best we've had. The main reason I'm writing this review is because of the bourbon praline flavor. All four people in our group had the same reaction that something tasted very off. Comments included: * "It tastes like refrigerator." * "Is there soy sauce in this?" * "Yuck, this tastes like teriyaki." * "It tastes like the nuts are rotten" It genuinely tasted spoiled or contaminated with another flavor that may have been stored next to it in the fridge. When we politely asked if we could return or exchange it because it tasted so bad, the employee working basically shrugged and told us they didn't like that flavor either. Looking back, when we first arrived and asked for recommendations, they didn't offer much guidance. Bathroom was clean - water was only served in bottles, that cost $3. The chairs outside were very uncomfortable. Overall: warm cobblers were nice, some flavors were okay, but nothing stood out as exceptional -- and the bourbon praline was honestly one of the worst dessert flavors any of us have tried, we threw it away.
