Have been getting cupcakes here and they always get rave reviews. Salted Carmel and red velvet are great. Love that they offer GF and vegan as well. read more

I have never felt more unwelcome at a small business. My 3 year old son loved the gumball machine and kept checking it out and twisting the lever. I saw no harm. I received several glares from the worker. I just figured she maybe was having a bad day. My son went to the gumball machine again and then the owner came out and looked at the gumball machine and then glared at me. Excuse me, sorry for brining a child in to your establishment. We will never return. And I love to support small businesses but people matter and you should treat everyone with kindness. read more

Absolutely unreal!!! I will 10000% order a cake from them again. The service was so easy to work with and the bakers were so kind. The cake was the best cake I have ever had. Lemon cake with raspberry filling. read more

Sugar Mama Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

We just stopped I to this bakery and watched as they turned away a blind woman with a seeing eye dog. She explained that the dog was a service dog and she needed it and they told her they didn't care and made her leave the bakery. Literally refused service to a blind woman. There food might be good but with bigoted behavior such as that we won't be back. read more

We ordered our 3 tier wedding cake from Sugar Mama. The consultation was great, the cake was moist and we loved the selection of flavors. The employee we had our consult with was very personable and helpful. Then the issues began. We had to call and email multiple times to confirm that Sugar Mama was even going to be our cake vendor as they seemed unable or unwilling to communicate with us. Once they finally said they would do our cake, they did not provide a contract, which we asked for. Then we were told there were per mile delivery fees in addition to the flat rate delivery fee quoted to us at the consultation. Reluctantly we agreed to the additional delivery fees. Four months later we were trying to confirm that everything was on track. When I reached out to them they asked again for a picture and description of the cake we wanted. This was less than two weeks prior to the date of the wedding and we had already provided them with that information. When we sent them a picture and description on our copy of the order form they provided at the consultation they replied they would get back to us with an updated price point. At that point we didn't even want to use them but it was too close to the date to find another bakery and of course we had paid a non refundable deposit. The cake they delivered was crooked, amateurish, and on the dry side. It wasn't terrible but definitely didn't taste like the cupcakes at the consultation nor did it look the way we wanted it to. The cake wasn't great, but the worst part of working with them was the lack of communication. read more

Got 3 cupcakes. All were pretty sweet. The top to the S' Mores one was tougher than I would have imagined. The other 2 were just soft enough and the taste was just right. read more

Delicious items! I first tried them out during the farmers market. They have so many vegan options! My favorite is the vegan chocolate cupcake! And for regular non vegan, their cinnamon roll is to die for! Not too sweet, it's perfect! Will definitely be coming back for more! :) read more

This is my favorite bakery in the area! The staff is amazing and incredibly friendly. The baked goods are so good! You were definitely want o enjoy a gooey bar and sit in the cool atmosphere. read more

If you've got a sweet tooth or a craving, this is the place to go! This randomly came up on my instagram as a sponsored page. After looking through all the pictures I knew I had to get my hands on their goodies (we went after work the same day!). What I loved is that along with regular cupcakes, they offer mini versions of all their flavors!! We got a half dozen - creamsicle, chocolate hoohah, birthday cake, snickerdoodle, snickers, and peanut butter. Every single one of them were delicious. It was hard not to eat them all in one sitting! I'll definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Sugar Mama has improved over the years, and I like their new location. I ordered a cake for my mom's birthday. It was decorated beautifully, the size was perfect, and the taste was even better. Almond buttercream with vanilla cake inside. Everyone loved it and commented on how rich it tasted. I would definitely recommend this bakery. read more

Sugar Mama Bakery - Marble Drip Cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

walked in...and then walked out...hardly anything on display, super expensive, tiny sizes, looks like they aspire to be a custom pastry/cupcake boutique and not a walk in bakery. I don't see this staying afloat. Walked over to Ivy Lane bakery for my fix read more

We popped in to this cute little cafe/bakery to get a coffee and were thrilled to discover that they offer a variety of gluten free delights. All the goodies are baked in-house. What a nice surprise! I got the sugar cookie and a it was delicious! Definitely going back! read more

They are really fast, I order the cake at 9am, I picked it up at noon. Really good service, loved the work. Little too pricey for me, thats the only issue I have. 4.5 rating easily. read more

Walked in 10am looking for full breakfast. Told only baked goods. Asked for recommendation to nearby breakfast venue. Was told, "there's nothing available anywhere near here". We left; found a delightful breakfast one block away at the Coffee House. Dirty pool in my book. read more

One of the best bakery in town !!! The cake was moist and delicious. The cake deco came out perfected and just how I wanted it. I love the fact it looks how it taste (amazing) ! read more

Sugar Mama Bakery - White cake with chocolate icing - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Cakes and cupcakes are delicious works of art. Pumpkin cinnamon roll wasn't great. Original is much better. Thrilled they now carry Quill's coffee, now my second favorite coffee spot in town. read more

The cupcakes are good, but pretty expensive. They load up on frosting too, so if you don't like eating 40% frosting and 60% cake, probably not the place for you. It strikes me as a sort of hipster establishment, not unlike The Coffeehouse, but at least the cost value is much better at Coffeehouse. They did cupcakes for our wedding a while back, but in comparison to other options in the area, it's rather overpriced. Update: It would be nice to vegan cupcakes more than once a week, since they don't seem to last long and are pretty tasty. read more

I finally got a chance to make it over to Sugar Mama!! I got their Salted Caramel, S'mores, Mama Vanilla, and Blueberry Key Lime cupcakes. They were all so yummy and moist, and with the perfect amount of frosting! The lovely lady who helped me was was fabulous and informative. I'll definitely be back:) read more

Today was my first time trying Sugar Mama and let me tell you, I am FAR from being disappointed. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake and the vegan apple cupcake and both were a true delight! The apple cupcake was light and delicious and you didn't have to feel guilty about it. The cookie dough cupcake was an amazing little creation and I loved sharing it with my boyfriend! I was expecting my bill to be more expensive than it was, but the price range was perfect! Such a nice place to stop by! read more

We are huge fans of this place! I've ordered mini cupcakes from them for bridal and baby showers and they do not disappoint! My daughters and I go in quite often for an afternoon snack on Saturdays as well. Trying to decide which cupcake is the hardest part as they all look so delicious! I recommend getting the mini cupcakes if you're not a huge frosting fan!! read more

The cupcakes are unbelievably delicious. The perfect dessert or thank you for a great job. You can't lose, no matter the flavor you choose... Sugar Mama gets it right every time. read more

Sugar Mama Bakery - Cherry Pie and Salted Carmel cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Stopped in for the first time today and got cinnamon roll to take home for later. It was the blandest cinnamon roll I have ever tasted. Probably will never go back. read more

So good! I love the gluten free options and all the cupcakes. The white chocolate cranberry cupcake was incredible!

Great to work with and cake is delicious! I called in for a last minute "gender reveal cake" and they were awesome to work with! I called 5 other bakeries who just told me no, but Sugar Mama was very friendly and I could tell wanted to help. Great customer service and great cake! read more

I decided to use this bakery to order my best friends wedding shower cake. Communication had to go through email, and after several attempts and slow communication I was able to get the order placed. Several trips were made to the store to drop off the appropriate ribbon for the cake that I asked them to make. This was a simple cake that I asked for, round, cream colored, with no writing or flower's, just a ribbon tied around the top layer with it flowing down the cake. They rec'd pictures and promised me that the cake could be done. When arriving Saturday morning at 8 am to pick up the cake for my 11 am shower, I was greeted with a PINK cake, with a bow that was tied sharply and cut off. This looked like a cake that would be served at a 5 year old girls birthday party. I was horrified with the product. What was worse is no management was around to fix the issue. I spent 20 min in the store while staff spoke to management on the phone who kept saying there was nothing they could do. I finally spoke with Lynn who said she would have the store owner Sue contact me via email. I was offered a 25% discount off my cake for my disapproval, or full refund but no cake. I was horrified. I spent $30 in ribbon, countless trips and now it was 2 hours before the shower with no cake. I left the store with no cake, no cupcakes and out $30.00 worth of ribbon. Keep in mind, I was promised a full refund, however to date I have only received a partial credit for just the cake. I left without the cupcakes and ribbon and the store manager has yet to respond to my countless emails. The day was saved however by the good folks at HyVee. I contacted them at 945 am and although they didn't have any pictures of the requested cake, they made the perfect cake that tasted exceptional and delivered it to Biaggi's for our shower 15 minutes before it started for half the price. NOW THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE. Sugar Mamas is a high priced bakery that is delivering poor service with huge mark ups. I will never use this bakery again. read more

Just stopped in, while on a roadtrip from Chicago to St. Louis, and ordered two cupcakes and a gluten free gooey bar. Each dessert that we tasted was exceptional. We are pretty picky about our food, and my husband and I both agree that we wouldn't have changed a thing. Everything tasted amazing. read more

Being a student at ISU, sugar mama cupcakes has become a stable dessert in my diet. I love grabbing a cupcake and coffee from the Hound across the street. This past week however, when I entered the shop I couldn't help but notice the smell. It was a moldy, stale smell. My boyfriend asked if we should leave, but I persisted. I wondered why they didn't have the door open to invite in customers- it was a beautiful day and many other business in uptown do this. The cashier didn't seem very happy to answer our questions about the cupcakes and when we went home to eat our mini 6 pack...we were disappointed. Two of our cupcakes had frosting that tasted like a stick of butter. It was horrible. Sorry sugar mama, but you've gone downhill. read more

I 've been there few times for birthday cake, for myself, and for a gift. All the time, they never disappointed me. The cake was great, so do cupcakes. They are delicious and pretty!! Their cakes are not so sweet, but rich flavor, good things to make you keep eat their cakes! If you never been this bakery and not sure to start with, try red velvet and chocolate cupcakes. You will never disappoint. Also, their prices are reasonable. 1.50 ~ 3.50 (without tax) per cupcake and 25 for a cake. Just stop and try one you will love it! read more

We love Molly's Cupcakes in Chicago, but it is a COMMUTE. So glad we found this option closer to home! Two sizes of cupcakes allow for "quick treats" and also "special occasion pig outs." My family enjoyed a few games of Guess Who? As we ate on the gorge vintage dishes. Only drawback? Out of cream and milk for the coffee!!! Peppermint creamer was not the same. read more

I am giving this bakery two stars simply because the cake and cupcakes are very good. If based on customer service, It would be one star. This year was my 4th year in a row buying a pricey cake for my god daughters birthday. I don't believe management keeps track of repeat customers. If they did, I am not sure I would receive email after email and multiple calls about the $20 deposit needed to move forward with my order. I assumed that after several years and over $900 spent on baked goods over the years, they might remember that I am a repeat customer. No such luck. This alone was enough to turn me away. Then, I went to pick up my cake, and pay the balance and it was very poorly decorated. Major upset for the 7 year old who was expecting something nice. To make matters worse, the two girls at the desk handed me a two tiered cake and said "Have a nice day" as if I were to put this cake uncovered in the back seat of my car. I looked very confused and suggested I needed to cover it and they informed me they "didn't do that". So, based on price and lack of basic customer service... we are on to the next place. read more

Very nice location with a super friendly staff. Reasonably priced and lots of options. Best cinnamon roll I've ever had.

Price point does not match the customer service repeatedly received. A tasty product only doesn't cut the mustard. walk in cupcakes purchase is probably the best bet for your time and money. read more

Ordered a Mother's Day cake at the last minute and they were able to accommodate. Cake was one of the best I had ever had. Highly recommend

Friendly service, good cupcakes, delicious biscuits, and yummy Big Mamas. Thanks Sugar Mama

The cupcakes at Sugar Mama Bakery are awesome, you should definitely order more than one. They are a bit expensive, but they are very good.

This is my go to bakery in town. The cupcakes are wonderful. Very creative and delicious flavors. They have baked a graduation cake for my daughter. It was a big hit. I ordered a mixed selection of bars for an upcoming Christmas party. Of course, I stopped in to try one. It was the cherry berry bar. Outstanding! My husband got a sugar cookie. It was moist and the icing was creamy and yummy. The people there are very nice & friendly. Great to work with. I highly recommend them! read more

First visit and will not be the last! Went for gluten free products and their selection included 3 flavors of cupcakes and edible cookie dough too. I bought the gf gooey bar and it was delicious! My companions both got the gf chocolate caramel cupcake. They loved them. Their coffee was good and it cut through the intense sweet of the baked goods. Friendly staff behind the counter. They greeted us as we came in and they explained which was gf. Very good experience!! read more

I needed some vegan desserts to bring to my graduation party. after many searches, i decided sugar mamas bakery was the way to go! i got the vegan strawberry cupcakes! they were very good and i would definitely buy again! SO YUMMY! read more

My husband and I are regular customers which speaks to the quality and service we've received at Sugar Mama's since it opened in downtown Normal. It's our go-to place for special-occasion cupcakes or a weekly treat on my husband's way home from work. We love the variety, freshness, and exceptional tastes of the cupcakes here, and if you're like me who judges a cupcake on the taste of its frosting, Sugar Mama's does not disappoint! Love this place and hope it enjoys many years at this location. read more

Had to park two blocks away, only to find the workers to be NO help at ALL! The minute I told them that my son's fiancé and I were interested in talking to someone about a wedding cake, they cut me off and said that they would not be able to give me any information at all. They said that we would need to email the decorator directly. And that was that. It was a very abrupt response to our inquiry. Zero help! A complete waste of a trip there from out of town, and a complete waste of time!! Will never go back...not even for an overpriced cupcake! read more
