I had forgotten to order a cake for my Moms 90th birthday party. The party was Dec 27 and with Christmas a lot of bakeries were closed on the 26th and would not take my order but Starry Night came through. They made a beautiful and delicious cake. My family was very impressed with it and so was I . I can't thank you enough for helping make my mom's party a success !! read more

This response is in regard to the owner's comment on my original Yelp review. To clarify the situation: based on the email communication, I was led to believe that because chocolate‑iced cupcakes could not be dyed, all cupcakes would be made in vanilla to achieve the pink and blue theme. I am fully willing to acknowledge that there may have been a miscommunication; however, the owner has shown no willingness to do the same. For accuracy, at no point did I raise my voice, become confrontational, or request a discount or refund. My only comment at pickup was, "Oh, they were supposed to be all pink and blue." I simply posted a review afterward. The issue escalated only because the staff member responded curtly with "No, ma'am," rather than offering any kindness or explanation. Had the interaction been handled politely, I would not have felt the need to leave a negative review. Additionally, I want to note that the owner has since emailed me privately and now posts a reply after significant time has passed. At this point, the continued contact feels inappropriate and concerning in response to a single negative review. Please cease all further communication with me or about me. read more

Did a fantastic job on husbands 30th b day cake !! We decided to go with a Stardew Valley cake and the did a great job . Very moist and fed well over the amount of people that came to the event . read more

We tried a few delicious treats on our trip to the bakery. My favorite were the coconut macaroons. Not too sweet, perfect balance with lots of coconut. Customer service was great and the staff were helpful. read more

This was my first time here. I came on a Tuesday. They are closed Saturday and Sunday. The vegan cupcakes were very dry. I am guessing they were made last week and refrigerated. The icing on the cupcakes was very good. If the cake had been fresh - they would ah e been excellent. Perhaps ask before you buy. read more

My husband and I stopped here today after reading the great reviews. We have been tricked by the rave reviews of other places before, but this bakery lived up to the hype. The bakery is eclectic and fun. The flavors and themes for Christmas were cute and fun. I tried a plain vanilla cupcake, the Grinch cupcake, and a cupcake with eggnog buttercream. All three cupcakes were very good. The icing was the correct texture and the flavors were on point. The cupcakes themselves were also moist and well made. Overall this is our favorite bakery in Maryland, although it doesn't live up to some of our favorite bakeries privately owned nationwide. read more

Had a sweet tooth craving and after the reco of my coworker informing me of this establishment being on Cake Wars my tastebuds compelled me to check them out. Located in a outdoor mini mall area you could easily not notice it's presence unless your a regular. However, inside is a cake wonder land filled with a smorgasbord of sugary samples sprinkled around the shop that would satisfy any sweet thooth. Say that 3x's fast I dare ya. I keep my focus as I eyed the many deserts and finally narrowed it down to cup cakes. They have many different varieties and sizes. The larger cupcakes has creme filling which really drew my attention. They had to be the size of a Baseball! The presentation is great as they all looked so delicious but decided on a red velvet and chocolate cupcake. I could hardly wait as the kind attendant bagged them up. Where the issue is for me after I decided to snag a little bite during work was that the cup cake was cold so cold the frosting was crusted like if you leave it out too long uncovered. My imagination of the fork carving through a fluffy moist cup cake was shattered. So I decided to let it get room temp to see what happens. Got home and for dinner decided to try again because moms didn't raise no quitter. This time the icing was room temp , the fork went through the cup cake , the cake was moist nooooooooooooo. The cake was very dry and the filling inside I didn't see until I got mid way through the cup cake which wasn't much. All in all it looked beautiful the cost really isn't bad about less than/ or $3 per creme filled cupcake. The regular sized ones are less than that. But the crusted icing and dry cupcake left a bad taste. I'm willing to try some other cupcakes just the ones that aren't refrigerated. read more

I have a problem with the employees, taking a job behind the counter and petting it as pet hair was flying. I don't think this is very hygienic. One thing to have a customer, bring a dog in in front of the counter, but for employees to bring it behind the counter, and multiple of them proceed to pet it doesn't seem very hygienic. read more

I was so impressed when I recently ordered cupcakes for a party. Everyone raved about all four varieties. They were clearly fresh and packaged well and reasonably priced! It was easy to place my order on line. I will be back! read more

Thank you so much for playing such an integral role in our wedding day. We were very impressed when we saw the cake table. (cup cake teir with a small cake on top for 80 people - 4 different flavor cup cakes.) When it was time to pack up at the reception - There was NO cup cakes left!!! We had lots of compliments and we would recommend Starry Night Bakery. It is affordable, very creative, and tasty. We can't thank you enough for making our big day so special. read more

I've had 4 cakes made by them and they all tasted amazing! I recently had them make 3 cakes for my wedding party and while the design of 2 of the cakes wasn't what I expected, they were quick to remedy the situation the best they could. I was a bit upset about the two smaller cakes, but my guests didn't know the difference and we all loved the taste. I definitely recommend the lemon cake! read more

Starry Night Bakery - The 2 cakes are made by Starry Night Bakery. - Bakeries Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

A wonderful and long standing bakery that delivers the finest pecan roll sticky buns, cupcakes, birthday cakes, dog biscuits, and gluten free delights. The creativity and composition and taste that is packed into each and every thing in the case is unparalleled. As a happy customer who has enjoyed a visit to this bakery for MANY years, I can say this about the staff: They are kind, polite, professional and helpful every single time. When I want a cupcake, or a chocolate top cookie - this is where I go. The almond cupcakes with the raspberry center are out of this world! GO! Enjoy! read more

Starry Night Bakery has been around since '02 and is owned by pastry chef, Shannon. They offer a variety of desserts, such as cheesecakes, vegan/GF options, cupcakes, plated desserts, cookies, biscotti, muffins, scones, cinnamon rolls, hot/cold beverages, sandwiches, and custom-order cakes. I tried their Peanut Butter Brownie mini cheesecake (this was soft and delicate, and the peanut butter taste was the mini pb chips that decorated the top); a Mahoo Wahoo cupcake (Kona coffee chocolate with espresso glaze and espresso buttercream; this was actually featured on the 'Cupcake Wars' - while tasting the best out of the 3 cupcakes that were ordered, it was a little dry and not at all sweet), VooDoo cupcake (caramel espresso; there was hardly any caramel or espresso taste to this one; super bland), and a Lemon cupcake (also no taste and no hint of lemon flavor). The hubs ordered some sugar cookies (one rainbow and one blue sugar), and while he thought they were okay, I thought they tasted kind of stale and off! I really liked the look of the bakery, as it was a mix of vibrant purples and blacks, retro, and punk, all rolled into one - a cute little vintage stove with little baskets of packaged cookies and biscottis on display. Service was a little standoffish. There are also a handful of tables inside where you can enjoy your food, but we had ours to-go. I may be curious in trying out their 'Spam Slider' the next time if I were to come back! +bland, dry cupcakes T____T +stale sugar cookies T____T +standoffish service T____T +eclectic decor read more

Some of the worst cupcakes I've ever had in all my life. If you call this place great I beg you to try cupcakes in your travels. I don't like to bash local places but it is what it is. Westminster is not a great food city destination but someone can do better. read more

I had my wedding this weekend (11/18/17) and got a dessert bar with Starry Night. First and foremost, the owner Shannon was absolutely lovely to work with. When I went in for a tasting she gave me so many wonderful suggestions that the guests ended up loving. I have celiac disease as does my grandpa and aunt and the gluten free cupcakes were perfection. I can't imagine how good the regular cupcakes for the guests tasted. We also got 4 types of mini pies, cannolis, and chocolate chip cookies that people went nuts for. I had so many people ask who the vendor was so they could visit their shop. On top of it the display looked adorable. I wish my wedding photos were in so I could post a better picture of the display. So thank you to Starry Night for helping my day be even more special. read more

Sometimes you forget to review places because you just assume people know. I originally found this place when I was the FedEx driver in 2010-11 and I was sold then. I have tried almost everything and I had them do my wedding as well. I continue to use starry night do cookie platters, cupcakes, and anything else special for get togethers or gifts. Yes every once in awhile you get slow service but let's just not go lose our mind for that. read more

Bought a few items since I had company. Coffee cake, sticky bun, muffins, cookies. Items were stale and dry. Attempted strawberry shortcake but it had molded strawberries, leaving me to believe they don't check refrigerator frequently. It was also confirmed since items are not dated in the refrigerator. The bakery did not have that sweet bakery smell. Another sign was the bakery itself was empty on a Saturday. Honestly should have just purchased from the bakery at Shoppers or drove to Eldersburg Martins. Unfortunately, can not recommend. read more

Haven't had a cupcake that I didn't like. The staff is always generous when I come in and takes their time when I have a hard time making a decision. I love the style of their hand decorated cakes. read more

Unimpressed. Walked in at 3 pm staff of 5 were all too involved in sweeping the floor to assist because they were closing soon. At 4 PM ... 1 hour later. We eventually were able to order 6 cupcake and 3 filled cupcakes in a variety of flavors. Overall they are dry and tasteless. However if there had been better customer service I would be tempted to give them a try again, but since they don't seem to want your business I'll be skipping it read more

I have been coming to starry night bakery since 2007. I have enjoyed a variety of drinks and treats over the years and I have had custom cake orders made several times and I have never been dissapointed by Shannon and her team. My latest custom order was a 1St Birthday cake and smash cake for my son's Where the Wild Things Are themed party. I gave them my budget, theme, and complete artistic freedom. The results were not only filled with childlike whimsy but delicious peanut butter and chocolate filling. As long as Starry night is around I'll be coming in. read more

I absolutely LOVE this bakery. I called about a week before I needed custom cookies. It was for my best friend who was having a hysterectomy and I had seen a picture of funny iced cookies on Etsy, and prefer to shop local. They asked that i send a pic to their email and they would go from there. They crushed it!!! I couldn't be happier! The cookies are gorgeous, and the women at the bakery were beyond friendly! I would order from them again in a heartbeat! read more

Starry Night Bakery is a pretty nice coffee house. The outside feel of the place isn't very charming. It's located in a strip mall. The inside is very spacious and relaxing. There are different couches and tables to sit at. I don't recall what kind of music is played, but I do remember thinking that the place was awkwardly silent on a couple of occasions. The smoothies are pretty good. If you ask, they can be made vegan. They almost always have a nice little selection of vegan baked goods, which is rarity in Carroll County, Maryland. Overall, it's a decent place. read more

Had a chocolate eclair and a mini raspberry cheesecake. Eclair was ok but the frosting on top was so thick and heavy that I removed it completely. It was a lot. The mini cheesecake was so overbooked that it was like trying to chew and eat rubber . There was no taste whatsoever. That said the bakery was super cute and looked cozy to hang out in. The young girl that helped me was not pleasant and seemed as if she didn't want to be there to the extent that I felt uncomfortable. I will not be visiting again. Hot mess read more

With vegan and gluten free options aplenty available alongside traditionally made bakery fare, this place is a hit! It has a knickknacky vibe similar to that of the paper moon diner in Baltimore, but the kitsch is cute. I came in here the other day for a cupcake and drink with a friend - my pomegranate iced tea was refreshing and tasty, and my cupcake was just delicious. As a baker myself, I wouldn't say that their cupcakes are HOLY GRAIL status or anything - I've had better cupcakes at other bakeries, and even from my own oven (on a good day!) - but they are still delicious, and their flavor combinations are incredibly clever. You've gotta hand it to them, Starry Night is a creative bakery that is certainly worth a visit if you find yourself in westminister! read more

This bakery was AMAZING to work with, especially after having a horrific wedding cake experience with another bakery that almost permanently swore me off of bakeries!!! My husband's 30th party was at a private arcade 2 hours away, with 16 people in attendance. I drew up all details of the cake ahead of time and went in two weeks before the party to meet with them. The cake I drew was EXTREMELY detailed and complex (we had batman fighting spider man, spok fighting a tmnt, a hobbit, mario touches, my husband coming out of a mario land pipe with the theme "awesome" written in stars below him, pacman, tetris on one side, sonic the hedge hog on another side, space invaders on another side, and spider mans' sky line on the last side. We also had battle ship pieces on the bottom board with tiger shark planes flying over, an MORE!!!). They took it head on, listened to me intently, explained to me how they would create some of the details to lower cost (which didn't matter to me, but the fact that they did that was impressive and avoided any disappointment I might have had), the price was less than I had accounted for, and I left feeling confident in the outcome! It was two tiered, with the top a peanut cake with chocolate ganache and the bottom a chocolate cake with peanut ganache. At the party, we got raving comments on the look and flavor of the cake. The only disappointments I had were that, although yummy, the bottom tier tasted like chocolate and vanilla, not peanut butter :/ I also was hoping they could make mini lego cakes for our vegan and gluten-intolerant friends, but they were unable to do that so I had to. We will be going back for EVERY SINGLE cake we ever need. We like to have themed parties for every birthday we have so we will be repeat customers every year :)) Thanks so much Starry Night! read more

I absolutely love this place! I have now had 2 custom 3 layered tiered cakes that have been amazing!

I ordered 3 dozen specialty cupcakes for my daughter's grad party and not only was the price reasonable and cheaper than other bakeries, everyone was commenting on how delicious they were. Thank you so much! read more

I used to come here once every two weeks and get a dozen cupcakes. I stopped going even though I love it here I just didn't have consistent quality. I think the place itself is really cool and I love going inside. Even the people who work there are awesome. I've tried all of their cupcakes but I think that the VooDoo is a miss. It was a coffee caramel (I think) that was a little dry to me. I also have enjoyed their lemon sometimes and not liked it at other times. Basically what I'm saying is come here and make your own opinion. I will still come here I just think that it could be better. Then again, this review is only for their cupcakes. I'm a cupcake snob so thats the only thing I ever go for. read more

This is the absolute best bakery in the area! From the excellent baked goods, to the quirky decor, everything is great. I have tried multiple flavors of cupcakes from here, and haven't had a bad one yet. The hot chocolate cupcakes and red velvet with chocolate ganache frosting are my favorites. I've taken the cupcakes to parties as well, and they've always been well-received. If you're a coffee fan you need to try a drink from here. The Starry Night drink and the pumpkin spice lattes are both great. read more

Starry Night recently made a cake and cupcakes for our daughters bridal shower. It was a Wedding dress cake and the cupcakes looked like the bridesmaids dresses. They were absolutly beautiful. Everyone wanted to know who made them. You guys do great work and you should post those pictures on your site. When I posted the shower pictures on Facebook I made sure everyone would know where the cakes came from. Not only did they look teriffic, they tasted amazing. Thanks again. Great work. If I could find a way to post the pictures I took of them I would. read more

I ordered a dozen cupcakes (6 red velvet and 6 carrot cake) for my daughter's Birthday and they were horrible. We were very disappointed. All of the cupcakes were dry and tasteless.

This review is solely for the KETO CAKES. I tasted the lemon , chocolate , strawberry and peanut butter cakes on yesterday at a 4th of July party and these cakes were the nastiest cakes I've ever tasted in my life. I have adapted a ketogenic lifestyle of eating and have tasted and made delicious flavorful and moist keto cakes, but these cakes were none of the above. Matter of fact they were so very awful that the hostess trashed all four cakes before more ppl tasted and thought she made them. My feelings hurt for her as she cleared out half of her dessert table behind this. It's so very sad how awful they tasted because the cakes were beautiful! When I first saw them I felt like a kid who had to eat all of her food first to get to the dessert. However I was unpleasantly surprised by the horrible taste and consistency. It almost tasted like they forgot to add any sweetener at all. Instead we were eating butter and the butt piece of the loft of stale bread. Please please before you advertise you have keto treats, taste them and make sure they do not mirror dog treats. If I didn't know that amazing keto snacks and cakes exists I would be turned off from this way of living being fooled to think all cakes are this terrible. Checks and balances are def needed in bakeries too. I hope you can use this feedback to head back to the kitchen and develop a product that tastes as good as it looks. Please do better. read more

I recently ordered 2 cakes from Starry Night for a joint 70th and 80th bday party. One was carrot cake with cream cheese filling and cream cheese icing - BEST carrot cake I've EVER had. It was so moist, icing was amazing and it was very dense. The second was a devils chocolate with raspberry filling and buttercream icing/ again, AMAZING! People couldn't stop asking where I got it from. It's 4 days later and I'm eating it every night as a "guilty pleasure" until it's gone. It's that good. You don't get tired of it! I unfortunately didn't get a picture of the cakes, but they were beautiful. One was a teacher theme and one an owl theme. I ordered them over the phone so I was scared, but they were perfect! Will be back for EVERY occasion! read more
