I decided to stop by Smallcakes in Western Springs on my way home from work, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an incredibly sweet and helpful staff member. I especially liked how the displays showcased the cupcakes like little pieces of art. I was also surprised to see they also offer a variety of cake pops, ice creams, custom-made cakes, and chocolates. For my purchase I chose the red velvet cupcake, chocolate sundae cupcake, pink vanilla cupcake, and strawberry cupcake which all tasted great! Overall, this is a cute spot to bring your family in for a sweet treat! read more

Great quality variety. Wonderful customer service. I especially love the wedding cake cupcake.

I ordered cake pops a week and I specifying I wanted pastel colors instead I got with white and black icing with colored sprinkles for the amount of money I paid if I had known that they were not going to give me what I wanted I would've elsewhere now this is the second time I've gone here. First time I ordered it and when I came to pick it up. They were not done so I had to wait 45 minutes for the order to be finished. This will be the last time that I go there my granddaughter asked for specific colors for her birthday and that's not what she got. read more

It's always exciting when new things open in town, and Smallcakes is a great place to take care of a sweet tooth craving. This adorable cupcakery just opened up in Garden Market (by Great American Bagel and Subway). This little shop had its grand opening on the 2nd and since it was the weekend I thought I would stop on by and try it out. First off, the decor in Smallcakes is chic and girly - as there a lot of pink (my favorite is the pink ottoman). The set up of the display counter is well thought out - you can see all the cupcake designs as well as the names of them clearly through the glass. There is a wide variety of flavors of cupcakes which is great - but also makes it harder in my opinion because everything looks so darn good. However, my main concern was they look great - but do they taste great? I ordered a few, The Boston Cream Pie and the Wedding Cake to sample and a few others (which I gave to my parents). The Boston Cream Pie cupcake was amazing, the base is a vanilla cake with a Bavarian cream filling and then a nice chocolate fudge frosting on top accompanied with a dollop of that Bavarian cream on top. The cupcake was fluffy and it held it's moisture so it tasted fresh with that Bavarian cream filling in the middle. The great thing about this cupcake in particular was that it did not feel too heavy and was not too sweet either like cupcakes can be sometimes. The other cupcake I tried was the Wedding Cake - I was excited about this one because I was told it was a top seller - however, it was not my favorite. The base of this cake is an almond cake, with a almond buttercream on top. It is simple and the cupcake itself is simply decorated. Again, the cake itself held its own and was absolutely delicious. Sadly for me, the buttercream on this cake was just too much which to me if I had eaten the whole thing with all that frosting would have been very heavy and very sugary - almost comparable to a Sprinkles Cupcake. A quick side note is that the cupcakes are $3.75 for a single one which is the same pricing if you go downtown to Sprinkles. However, I would go back to try the other flavors they have since they do carry many different flavors daily. read more

Very disappointed. I was specifically looking for a "tear-away" cake. Which on the outside looks like a whole cake but is made up of cupcakes all covered with a frosting to look like a sheet cake. I was assured they could handle the order. This was ordered for a colleagues retirement party. I arrive to pick up the cake and it is 28 cupcakes in a box with the wording written on the cardboard.$98 for this and now I will have the embarrassment of bringing this to a longtime colleagues party. When I questioned it at pickup I was told the baker said it would be "too much frosting". They should have told me they don't make tear-away cakes. Just lost a customer. read more

We always love Smallcakes cupcakes! It's fun when they have daily/ monthly specialty flavors to try, but my go-to classic flavor is Wedding Cake. So good! The cupcakes are huge, so in our family of 4, we buy 4 & cut them in half and then we each have a different half for dessert over 2 nights. When we visited friends while out-of-town, we picked up Smallcakes as a host/hostess gift & were even able to add a PupCake for their new dog. Great way to add brownie (cupcake?) points for the animal lovers in your life. read more

Jennifer made a delicious Minecraft themed cake with a chocolate drip for my son's birthday. The chocolate cake was moist and the strawberry filling was sweet and smooth. All I had to do was purchase the cake toppers, which were easy to find online. read more

If you want to order a pull apart cupcake cake from here make sure you are very specific or else you'll get a cake that has no pull apart aspect. I was told that pull apart does not equate to the frosting covering all of the cupcakes unless I specify that. The product I received was extremely disappointing. read more

Wonderfully decorated cupcakes, friendly staff and sweet ambiance. I had to add some additional cupcakes to a large order the very next day after pickup and they were happy to accommodate me. Despite them not being the closest to me geographically, I will be going forward with Smallcakes of Western Springs for my cupcake needs :) read more

Smallcakes - Cupcakes Near Me - Western Springs, Illinois

I really do like this place. I think it's a great addition to Western Springs. It was difficult for me to give this business a lower score. My issue is with the staff not wearing gloves or using utensils while serving their newest addition - Smash Cakes. I was really mortified by the girl manhandling the cupcake and ice cream with her bare hands. It was completely unsanitary. She didn't wash her hands before she cut my cupcake in half. Then I saw her take half the cupcake with her full bare hand and smash it in the cup with the ice cream. She then scooped some of the ice cream that wouldn't come off the scooper with her fingers. She then grabbed the rest of the cupcake with her bare hand and pushed it on top of the ice cream. It's really important for businesses to not use their bare hands when exposed to ready to eat food. They are not mandated to wear gloves but they are required to use a utensil like tongs, spatulas, etc., when handling food. I hope the owners will read this review and invest in some device that will prevent their employees from directly touching customers food. It's unsanitary and unhealthy. This is the only beef I have with this business. I've been in here a number of times and would have rated it a 5 if not for this important issue. I'll give this business another shot hoping they'll make the necessary change. read more

This is a nice place for some cupcakes. If you want cupcakes thats different from the rest but have real taste this is the place to go. It a little expensive but you would be glad to get one read more

Small Cakes did a great job on the cake for my daughters birthday. Not going to lie i was a little nervous at how it was going to turn out, but we loved it! They said they couldn't do fondant but surprised us at the end with the sharks and a few chocolate shells! The cupcakes themselves are so soft and everyone was asking where they were from!! Thanks Small Cakes!! First time we have ordered a cupcake cake from here and definitely won't be the last. read more

While I've never been inside or bought cupcakes here, I have eaten them a few times and they are amazing! We received some as a gift and it was fun to have the kids taste each different type. At an event I got to try the peanut butter cup flavor and it was amazing. The cake is very soft and the frosting and toppings are perfect. Would definitely get these for a birthday or for a friend who needs a pick-me-up! read more

The staff is so friendly and went out of their way to help me decide what cupcake I wanted! The cupcakes are so delicious - the BEST I've ever had! I will definitely be coming back to try the ice cream and have another cupcake! Red velvet is my favorite! read more

I was recommended here by a family member who lives by the Naperville location and has been ordering their cakes from that location. I walked in and placed a cake order a month before. The man who took my order name is Bill. I told him I wanted the cake to look like a record player and I sent him a picture to reference. He wrote it all down on the invoice and told me he was going to throw in some cupcakes. A couple of weeks before the pick up date, I received a text and then a call to confirm what I wanted. I was a bit confused since he wrote it all down on the invoice that I didn't even get a copy. The day of the cake pick up, I called the bakery to let them know someone was going on my behalf to pick up the cake, when I asked to revert back to me my order, it was completely different, I then told her the correct order and she then agreed. I can honestly said that when I saw this cake I was in shock and completely disappointed. The cake looked like it was done by some HS kids and the happy birthday sign looked like crap, and there were no cupcakes. This was my first time trying this place, since I heard highly reviews. The cake itself was good (lemon) and moist, but I don't see myself ordering from here again. read more

Smallcakes - They couldn't put it in a bigger board?? - Cupcakes Near Me - Western Springs, Illinois

I used to really like this place! But went recently and was disappointed. There is now a lot less frosting now on the cupcakes and the flavor didn't seem the same. And it was quite pricey- over $4 each with tax. read more

Smallcakes is my new "Go-To Hostess" gift. These cupcakes are absolutely delicious, so festive. I am hooked on the "Wedding Cake." But most important is their Customer Service. Every employee greets you, extremely friendly. Let them know what type of event you are attending, I am sure they can suggest the perfect hostess gift ~And everyone will love them! read more

Ordered 4 dozen for a friend's daughters graduation party. Did 2 dozen mini, 1 dozen regular and 1 dozen mini gluten free. They were delicious! Fresh and super moist! All of them were gone in no time! Karen was wonderful, helping me to make the right selections and adding on to the order at the last second. read more

Everything tastes good. Their red velvet ice cream tastes amazing. The cupcakes taste just like any other good cupcake bakery!

I'd like to say these were the best cupcakes ever but every time I stop by the employees from the Orthopedic place next door are standing just a few feet away from Smallcakes door, smoking away and there is no way to avoid it. I have asthma, and it's not worth the risk read more

I had a few of the small cupcakes at my cousin's birthday party. The cake was ligjt and flavorfull and the icing was fantastic and just the right amount. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves dessert! read more

Small Cakes catered my niece's wedding...OMG the cupcakes were amazing!! Beautifully decorated and so yummy!! Would highly recommend.

Better than the Elmhurst location. My gf and I got the cinnamon roll and cookies and cream cupcakes and an assortment of minis which, aside from the wedding cake one, we loved. I visited the Elmhurst location twice and was disappointed both times. Saw this one open when I was on the way to the doctor that's right there and decided to give them another shot. Glad I did. Will definitely be hitting up this location from now on. read more

This is a darling, clean , upbeat cupcake place! The service was warm and welcoming. They had given me a sample of the homemade ice cream, it was divine. My favorite is the peanut butter and wedding cake. They make an ice cream concoction with mixing a cupcake and ice cream , served in a cup, ingenious! Yummy read more

Pleasantly surprised! The cake is super moist and the frosting doesn't take over . Had their version of a chocolate hostess cupcake and it was so good . Will definitely return . Happy to find a new place closer to home . They also have mini sized cupcakes . read more
