The results were beyond our expectations. Each cake was a masterpiece--beautifully crafted and admired by everyone at the event. The attention to detail in the designs was stunning, and it was clear that Sweet Life put a lot of thought and care into their work. As for the taste? Absolutely phenomenal. The cakes were as delicious as they were gorgeous. Each bite was a perfect balance of flavor and texture, leaving our guests raving about how amazing they were. Sweet Life delivered on every front: creativity, quality, and taste. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any special occasion or celebration. They truly turned our vision into something spectacular! Thank you, Sweet Life, for making our event so memorable.

I went to Sunflour on a Saturday afternoon with a friend. And let me just say I really like their…read morepastries. I think my best experience here is getting a sweet item to go. Sitting in the restaurant and eating is not the same experience. My friend and I got the same sandwich. Hers was missing the bacon and mine was missing the lettuce. My coffee was not hot. I asked for it to be reheated. I got a new one and that one wasn't hot either. I hate warm or cold coffee. The seating area can use a good cleaning. And the food is very expensive. It gets on my nerves when the tip screen pops up because I don't want to give a tip if my coffee is consistently cold and my sandwich is missing stuff. It's already overpriced to begin with. The young lady at the register needs a bit more training. The last time I stopped in she gave me a very sloppy earl gray tea. I had to deconstruct the cup which was very poorly put together with two lids...smh. Anyway, I know to order my pastries to go when I come here. A cookie, albeit large, is about $5.35 with tax! I'm all for supporting small local businesses, but you have to give me good service and don't charge me an arm and a leg and still expect a tip for a cookie to go. If they clean up the interior, get the orders correct and train their young staff member a little better this might be a decent place to stop in and enjoy a lite lunch. But be prepared for a hefty tab.

I always say I wish they were closer, but I probably would be in weekly if they were. Nice spot in Plaza Midwood so I don't mind coming here. Great Italian bakery.

If you're craving a sweet treat, I highly recommend stopping by. Just make sure you get there early for the best selection!

OMG Donuts is always a delight!…read more The staff is always friendly and patient. The bakery is always clean and organized. And you can tell the donuts are baked fresh daily as you can smell them right as you walk in. They have such a great selection of flavors, they have donuts, fritters, and they bake fresh crossaints on the weekends, they can stuff your donut with your pick of cream. It's so hard to pick out what you want because you have so many options. The donuts are always fresh and pillowy when you bite in to them. Not too sweet, just right. My favorite are the cinnamon roll donuts, they have just the right amount of cinnamon and are worth the try. I've been eyeing their apple fritter and my best friend has told me they are amazing, so maybe I'll give that a go on my next visit! OMG Donuts is doing donuts right, I pass a krispy Kreme donut shop to get here, so I guess that statement is a fact!

I cannot recommend Whitney enough - she is really the only person I will call for cupcakes now!…read more After living in both DC and Charlotte, at eating cupcakes from places including winners of Cupcake Wars and top rated for the city, Whitney's were hands down better!! Plus, working with her was great and the cupcakes were adorable! I contacted Whitney to make 2 dozen cupcakes for my boys' joint birthday party with a Lego theme. She wrote back quickly and was very communicative about my options and sending me sample photos to make sure we were on the same page. Once we decided on them (chocolate and vanilla with vanilla buttercream), she made legos and lego men cupcake toppers out of chocolate and fondant 5s and 2s (for my boys' ages). And they had festive lego-colored confetti on them. They were ADORABLE! Picking them up was really easy and they were ready when I arrived. The cake was really moist with the perfect level of sweetness, and had really delicious chocolate and vanilla flavor. I was even MORE impressed with the frosting, which managed to be rich and decadent and yet light and fluffy at the same time! You could really taste that everything was fresh, made from scratch, and that she used quality ingredients. We were so amazed! In fact, I ate two of them (oops!) just so I could "sample" the other flavor. Ha! I highly highly recommend her!

I had lunch at the Boardwalk area and searched Yelp for a sweet pick me up. There were a few choices if you wanted a bakery or ice cream, but cupcakes were calling my name! This is a super cute small bakery. They do a lot of special orders and things such as wedding cakes. They do have a store front though, and sell cupcakes, cookies, truffles which are like cake pops as well as macaroons. I am very picky with my cupcakes (really the frosting and density of the cake) and I have a favorite bakery but it is across town. Because I was in this area I was wanting to try this! I entered with no idea about what I wanted. A man working help me and answered a few questions and also spoke to me about their special order business. He was very helpful. I ended up with an almond truffle which was just amazing. Compare it to a very large cake pop. It had awesome almond flavor. I'm pretty upset of cookie dough, and they had a cupcake that was a cookie dough cupcake. The frosting looked like cookie dough, and let me tell you that's what it tasted like! I want to get another right now! It was the perfect combination of cookie dough and a cupcake! I wait can't to go back and try something else. Are usually only like vanilla or almond cupcakes but this cookie dough one took the cake.

Even after moving to NC, every trip back home to MI would not be complete without stopping to get cookies. Even made a few fans of the place in Charlotte. While I've tried many of their other flavors I always keep coming back to the original- chocolate chip cookie. She has hands down mastered it. Best cookie I've ever tasted! Coming from a person who is often requested to sell my own chocolate chip cookie version, this is high praise indeed. Infact, this is one of the only recipes I have yet been able to recreate.
