    a golf themed birthday cake

    Vivian's cakes are gorgeous and delicious! Ordering the cake was very simple and the cake turned out just like the picture. We got the red velvet cake and it tasted incredible! Will definitely be ordering from Vivian again.

    Wine box, molded wine bottle with grapes, cheese and crackers to accompany! All edible!

    Three calls were made and Vivian was the choice hands down. She created this awesome birthday cake(Wine box with cheese, etc) for a dear friend, from pics sent to her. Vivian's phone, email and in-person demeanor never wavered during contact and she answered all of my many questions while maintaining professionalism. The chocolate butter cream cake was Super delicious. The Birthday lady, family and friends enjoyed the presentation, but most of all the taste of the cake. It was so light and moist! Vivian is a keeper!! Will definitely order from her again. KG

    I spoke with Miss Vivian via email gave her an idea of what I wanted... Definitely a smooth transaction, the cake was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend using her as a baker. She will be my go to from now on. Thanks again for the wonderful service. :)

    So pleased with my order! Throwing a baby shower where bees/honeycomb/hives are the theme. Vivian only needed a week notice for 30 cupcakes. They are beautiful and perfectly done for the theme! Will definitely use her on future requests! Give her a call!

    Thank you Vivian for a beautiful and delicious cake for my wife's 40th birthday. Everyone lived the cake. Vivian replicated a beautiful 3 tier that I found from found google searches. Bottom tier was chocolate with mocha, and navy blue rosettes, middle lemon with a lemon curd and raspberry filling and the top was German chocolate. Everyone loved it and took some home! Thank you Vivian!!!!

    Everyone loved the creative paisley shape!

    Vivian was the first baker we met with when looking for a wedding cake for our October 2015 wedding--and the last. We went for a tasting with her and hired her on the spot. Looking through her portfolio, I was impressed by Vivian's range--she can rock a seven-layer white wedding cake with pillars and a fountain, and also create a colorful topsy-turvy carnival delight. She worked with us to create something elegant yet unusual for our fall brunch wedding, and we were thrilled. We had a two-layer paisley-shaped cake. One layer was chocolate raspberry chip (which you MUST try) and the other was French vanilla with lemon filling, all covered in vanilla buttercream tinted a pretty peach color. We asked for an informal, dynamic spackle-look to the frosting, and she delivered. She also created edible flowers and added chocolate-covered strawberries to complete the look. The cake looked beautiful and tasted delicious--I really appreciated that the frosting was not overwhelmingly sweet. It also froze well, so that it still tasted fresh after we got back from our honeymoon. Pricing was pretty good for a wedding cake; we paid about $225 for 40 servings of cake (though our caterer wangled more than that out of it), and that included delivery to KC and the flowers and strawberries. Vivian delivered it right on time to our venue and set it up quickly and beautifully. Everyone loved the cake. A great product isn't the only important thing when hiring a vendor--liking the person who performs the service is just as vital. Working with Vivian was great. She always answered the phone promptly, welcomed us warmly into her home for our tasting, and took copious notes about our likes/dislikes. She welcomed reference photos, weighed in with her professional opinion when asked, and really let us know that she is extremely competent as well as passionate about her job. Vivian takes obvious pride in delivering beautiful, fresh, yummy cakes, and effortlessly makes you feel at home while you taste and design them. I highly recommend Spectacular Cakes for your event--you'll be just as delighted by Vivian and her cakes as we were.

    She did an amazing job with my son's 2nd birthday party cake. It was a construction site and it turned out much better than the picture that I gave her. She was great to communicate with and I did everything over the email with easy payment option via email. I strongly recommend her and She will be our to go person for every occasion.

    Dr. Seuss 1 year old smash cake.

    The cake was nice. The price was fair. I had a schedule change and she was accommodating and the cake was completed on time. I will be a repeat customer. Only change I would request it the was the cake is packaged up for transport- needs more support.

    21st Birthday Cake looked fantastic and tasted great!

    I got my cake from here and I think the word spectacular isn't enough it was awesome tasted great was exactly what I want it did it quickly and on time and was very reasonably priced I will be a return customer because she makes great cakes!

    Please don't use this business! I'm not sure why the other reviews are praising this baker. When I originally met the baker I was skeptical because she makes cakes out of her townhouse and it wasn't any clear signs of where I was supposed to be going. She was pleasant and stated she baked for many years. After placing a deposit with her, she basically became unresponsive to my calls and emails. I attempted many times to contact the individual and she told me that she "doesn't have time to sit at the phone all day and that she has another job..." from there forward trying to communicate was far fetched! She sent many disrespectful emails and I now have to find a new baker for my wedding cake. This is not a good business and nor is Ms. Vivian professional. This is not the experience that any bride or anyone else should have. The owner/ baker is extremely rude....

    I live in CA but was planning a birthday celebration for my dad in KC... a lot of family we're coming from out of town and I wanted to get a really special Italian Themed cake for this special birthday... I yelped cake bakeries and found Spectacular Cakes, and I'm so glad I did! Vivian is great to work with and so accommodating!! I had found some ideas on Pinterest, and when I called her to ask if she'd be able to do it, she was so great! I emailed her the pics I had seen, just as ideas, and had seen pics of her cakes and thought they were amazing, and figured she's come up with something great!! Well she exceeded my expectations and the cake was amazing!! It's exactly what I had in mind! She did SUCH an amazing job! AND the cake tasted amazing as well! It was Lemon Butter cake with Lemon filling... the lemon flavor was JUST RIGHT, and the buttercream frosting was so good and the fondant was good too!! The detail she added to make the Italian themed decorations was beyond amazing! Everyone loved the cake!! I wish I was local, I would order from Vivian ALL the time!! She has so many flavors to chose from and she will do an awesome job and is a pleasure to work with! Thanks Vivian!

    Perfect birthday cake! We are so glad we chose this baker!!Vivian was great with communication. She delivered what we have requested perfectly!

    Once again! Vivian outdid herself. My husband contacted her to make a chocolate covered strawberry cake for my surprise birthday party. He provided a picture and her cake looked way better! The cake was delicious :)

If you're neither of those things and wondering if it's worth a visit, I'd say you're better off sticking with options like French Market in Brookside. For food options, check out Cafe Gratitude, Whole Harvest Kitchen, or naturally vegan options like Blue Nile Cafe. The cupcakes here are generally high quality and have a great crumb to them, BUT I would recommend getting one cupcake of any given flavor first and making sure you like it before buying up a dozen or ordering a cake. The cupcakes here can be hit or miss, with some having a mushier texture or muddier flavor to them. Apart from the consistency issue, the only reason I wouldn't recommend The Littlest Bake Shop's pastries is because of the frosting. The frosting here is on the stiff, sugary side, which makes for pretty cupcakes but less than ideal mouthfeel. If you prefer frosting on the lighter side, this place likely isn't for you. I was a little bit more disappointed by the food. I ordered the Grilled Cheeze and the Littlest Big Brunch, and while everything was okay, nothing stood out. The greens on the side of the Grilled Cheeze were just spring mix without any kind of dressing, and the gravy was a weird gummy texture. Both dishes were way overpriced compared to the portion size, and the salt and pepper potatoes were the best part of each. Overall, I wanted to love this place much more than I actually did and would come back for a cupcake but not for the food.

A few months ago my sister and I hosted a baby shower for our other sister and after looking around an options we decided to go with McLains. It was a smaller group, and we were doing a brunch theme, and our sister LOVES sweets. That paired with our desire to support local, and our shared love of McLains, this was just the most obvious choice. We ended up ordering a cake and first of all I have to say their cake flavor choices are insane - I think we settled on a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling (YUM), but I don't think you can go wrong here. We also ordered one of their pre-set pastry bundles for pick up and honestly everything was wonderful. I think I placed the order about a week out and it was ready when I came to pick it up. What pushed this experience into five star category for me? Just the friendliness of the staff, the serving tools they send you home with, and how thoughtful everyone was. The food was also really just exactly what we needed and it was so good there were hardly any leftovers, I think the kids cleared us out by lunch! At any rate, if you're on the hunt for a great spot to support for your next brunch event consider McLains - they won't let you down!
