I went into Sweet Beginnings, knowing they have great pastries because I've had them before but I wanted to try their blueberry pie. I had been really craving it lately and wanted just a small one but they make those to order. So I took a look around just because I didn't feel like leaving empty handed and found these magical blueberry pastries that were calling my name. I'm OBSESSED. They're perfect. And so light and flaky and once they're heated up, so warm and delicious. I would highly recommend this place but especially these! P.S. I finished the container today and I already want more!! read more

48 hours to get a truly custom, truly delicious cake! Great selection of options, too.

My friend wanted pink, purple and teal cupcakes for her 30th birthday. I ordered 12 cupcakes with chocolate cake, chocolate mousse filling and vanilla frosting! They added the cute 30th detail as I provided in my inspiration photos! So cute & exactly what I was looking for. Very reasonable pricing. Ordering was super easy, sent an instagram message! Not to mention - this shop is adorable with ready to go selections of pastries such as cupcakes. Make sure to follow them on instagram and stop on in if you're looking for a sweet treat. read more

Sweet Beginnings is a cute little bakery located on Delaware in the Kenmore area. I've passed by this bakery multiple times but have never been there before. I ordered a 6" white cake with lemon filling for a birthday. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. It was only $15.50 which I believe was a reasonable price because the cake was THICCCCC. The cake was moist and not too sweet. I would've preferred a little more lemon filling because I felt the ratio was off. The frosting was too sweet in my opinion so take it down a few knotches and it would've been perfect. Overall, I would come back and try other desserts. The display case was filled with a beautiful array of baked goods! read more

A friend recommended that I consider Sweet Beginnings for my wedding desserts. I went to just pick up some cupcakes to try before placing an order for my wedding and I'm glad I did. My fiance and I tried a ton of cupcakes-- oreo, yellow with chocolate, vanilla, lemon, carrot cake, and red velvet. We also got a chocolate chip cookie type thing with mousse-- we were thinking of getting a cookie cake for the wedding, so I figured this would be pretty close to it. It pains me to write this, but my fiance and I just think everything was ok. The cupcakes were very moist and I loved the chocolate frosting, but it was nothing really spectacular. I was super disappointed with the oreo cupcake because the base didn't taste like much besides vanilla. The only part that I really didn't like was the chocolate chip cookie thing. I tried it without the mousse and it was dry and just not my favorite. I hated writing this review because the staff was sooooo nice and the prices were reasonable, but it had to be said. read more

I couldn't be happier with the cake and pastries we got from here. We got a small cake for cutting, cupcakes, and a ton of min-pastries for the breakfast the following day. Everyone was raving about their food and asking where the cupcakes came from. They were easy to deal with and almost stole the whole show! Absolutely incredible and we will definitely be coming here for all of our future dessert needs! My only notes for them would be: It would be awesome if they could provide a vegan option someday! There are so many vegan butters and stuff on the market to make this possible! My sister-in-law has an allergy and we felt bad not being able to provide an option for her and people with dietary preferences. read more

We ordered a couple wedding pies from Sweet Beginnings for our elopement this past May. They were so easy to communicate and work with in making our wedding pie dreams a reality. The dedication and intricate work they put into creating a beautiful braided lattice crust shows. The pies not only looked amazing, but tasted amazing too! We ordered one raspberry and one strawberry rhubarb. We can't recommend them enough, especially if you want to go an unconventional route in celebrating the occasion with show stopping pie!! read more

Purchased cupcakes to taste before committing to buying an entire cake. The cupcake was dry and not worth the money.

It was a small bakery by Delaware Ave. and was overwhelmed with the huge varieties of their baked goods. We stopped by yesterday and people keeps coming in nonstop (but still following the protocol). They mostly buy their cupcakes and loaves of bread. I'm a little unhappy when they said they already did the cut off for the cake orders 3 days ago, and They're also closed today (Easter Sunday) until April 13th. Since they're not gonna be open for a while, We tried few of their pastries, Peanut butter mousse pyramid and Eclairs with bavarian cream... Both were delicious and reasonably priced. So much filling in the eclair and not too sweet. Customer service are very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back and hopefully I can order their cakes. read more

5 stars for SURE. We were next door for an event at Board and Brush and figured we'd stop in for a little treat since we were nearby. The selection of desserts readily available in their cases was amazing! (it was a saturday). It was hard to pick from the wide variety, so we ended picking out FOUR (a birthday cake funfetti cupcake, a "downtowner" with apple bits in it, a huge eclair, and a chocolate chip cookie cup loaded with frosting. I kid you not, EVERY single thing was absolutely amazing and tasted super fresh. The fresh part was my biggest concern, b/c I've had issues with other bakeries having super old, stale, gross items in their case (Dessert Deli, I'm looking at you - literally tried them FIVE TIMES and every single time, their desserts in the case were OLDDDDDDDD and gross). Sweet Beginnings was amazing and shockingly, not crazily priced! We got 4 BIG desserts, all packaged beautifully individually, for a total of $15.xx with tax. Amazing! read more

I really hate writing anything other than stellar reviews but unfortunately this place just didn't hit the mark for me. The person who served us was very awkward and unfriendly. She made the experience quite uncomfortable and even when I tried to crack a joke to cut the tension, she didn't even smile. She seemed irritated that we were there. We ordered a few cupcakes which no one in the house ended up eating. The scone type cookies were OK but even 2 out of the 4 were left untouched along with the cupcakes - they were sort of flavorless and a bit dry. I did like their blueberry crumble tarts(?) and PB bombs (not sure if correct names) - but overall allot of it didn't have much flavor and a bit disappointing since I had high hopes from reading reviews. read more

Ok, so I haven't seen the cake yet but this business agreed to make a birthday cake on short notice despite the 4th of July holiday when every other area bakery told me to choose from the premade cakes on display. My daughter wanted a plain white frosted cake with a Taylor Swift quote on it and they happily agreed. Customer service rates a 5 and I will update after we get the cake for taste and appearance! Five stars were earned -- a beautiful cake exactly as my daughter wanted AND delicious! read more

I so enjoy this bakery. Their cakes are so tasty. The staff are so kind and professional. They pay attention to such detail. Would highly recommend. read more

Last May, I attended a birthday party that had a cake from here, and it was SO good that I knew I had to remember it for my son's first birthday party this year (so good in fact that I ate 3 slices at that party!!). I ordered one for this weekend, and it did not disappoint!! They were very easy to work with, allowed me to send designs I liked, and made it pretty easy. We had a dinosaur theme so I was able to get a fondant dinosaur, fondant eggs, and a fondant 1. They can do any flavor cake, and while I wanted to go crazy, I also wanted it to appeal to the masses so I got Funfetti with strawberry mousse filling and vanilla buttercream. I am terrible with spacial relations so I accidentally ordered a much too larger for us size, but I don't mind because I get leftovers!! This cake was absolutely massive and it was not expensive at all for how much cake we got and how it was decorated!! I was very impressed. It tasted so good and the whole party loved it. Definitely will order a cake from them again!!! read more

Got a half sheet cake for a Birthday. I emailed pics and even spoke to owner about the look I wanted. Cake was extremely limited with decorations! Very disappointed since it was for an 80th Birthday party. The cake was also very tall which is fine...BUT had only ONE thin line of filling in it. For a cake taller than 6 inches it should have at least 2 layers of filling. Spent $100 on a poorly made cake. Very disappointed with the quality and presentation. read more

This bakery was a great option for last minute Valentines Day cupcakes. I decided to pick up a couple cupcakes and cookies to enjoy for Valentines Day with my husband and to give a few to our neighbors. They didn't have a very large selection of cupcakes so I was a little bummed about that, however it was I. The afternoon on Valentines Day so I'm not sure if they were just running out or if they usually have a smaller selection. However, they had the basics (vanilla and chocolate) and had some elaborate frosting/decoration on the cupcakes. They also had these amazing looking cookie and brownie cupcakes so I HAD to get those. The woman who helped me was very sweet and patient while I painstakingly decided exactly which ones I wanted. They were reasonably priced and our neighbors were happy to receive some tasty treats. read more

I stopped in, as I'd heard great things about this bakery! I was greeted by a young woman who couldn't have been nicer. I wanted to pick up an assortment of cookies/pastries as a thank you to a friend!! They had a great selection and I quickly filled the box! I had a sticky bun for myself that was delicious!! My friend sent me a note thanking me for the gesture and said that the goodies were delicious and appreciated by the office!! I'll definitely be back!!! read more

I have ordered cupcakes a few times for special occasions. I always order in advance and they have been organized and reliable. I also love that they offer flavors to fill cupcakes as well as ice them. The staff are always patient with me as I choose from all their options. The cupcakes always get compliments because they are delish! So glad to have this place nearby! read more

We stopped here to use a B1G1 pastry coupon, and decided on the chocolate croissants. These are filled with a delicious dark chocolate. I have had chocolate croissants from other bakeries, but this one was a major step above. Not only is the croissant quite large, but also filled from end to end with good chocolate. At $1.75 each, it is a really good "bang for your buck". read more

Sweet Beginnings Bakery is a family owned and operated sweet shop in Tonawanda on Delaware Avenue. The bakery boasts a large menu of desserts ranging from the Italian classic fig to the new age cookie cup and the fancy wedding cake. When you walk into the shop, there are three large glass displays with a variety of cookies, scones, fruit and nut filled rings, cookie cups, large and small cupcakes, brownie cups, cakes, and even meat pies. If you have an event coming up, you may special order something. When you walk in, there are four sheets that allow you to custom order your dessert. I made three recent trips to Sweet Beginnings. On my first trip, I purchased a cookie cup topped with a chocolate mousse. The cookie was soft and delicious. The mousse was absolutely fantastic- super creamy and light. On my second trip, I purchased a brownie cup topped with a chocolate mousse. The brownie was also soft, but between the cookie and this, I prefer the cookie. I also placed an order for 6 custom cookie cups. On my third trip, I picked up my order of 6 custom cookie cups. I had the cookie topped with peanut butter mousse, chocolate mousse, and vanilla mousse. So far we've only tried the chocolate and peanut butter. The peanut butter mousse, wow, it's super rich and taste like pure peanut butter. Although the bakery only made 3 cups, the owners were able to put 3 more cups together in about 5 minutes. Overall, I've been very pleased with Sweet Beginnings. I highly recommend their to-go desserts and custom order ones too. You will not be disappointed! read more

They did the wedding cake for my sisters wedding. They were so easy to work with and they made the cake she envisioned for her special day. The price was right and it was perfect. They did red velvet and fun fetti with the colors of the wedding blue and purple. My sister gave them orchids that matched her theme and they were placed beautifully on the cake. The cake was delicious and everyone is still raving about it. This is the place we will come for all our cake needs. read more

The frosting isn't tooth achingly sweet and the mousse is weighty and fluffy at the same time. I've been coming here sporadically over a year and I gotta say their breakfast pastries (especially the almond ring) are the superstars here. The person behind the counter has always been friendly, gives good recs and genuinely seems to enjoy their job. They make savory scones here! I've had the Thanksgiving Dinner (my favorite so far) and the French Onion Soup. There are dill pickle and banana pepper versions I have yet to get my hands on and when I do I highly suspect they will be just as yummy! read more

What a cute bakery! They recently made a cake for me for a special dinner I was surprising my family at! They worked with me, from all the way across the country. They were great with giving me suggestions and asking for my Input! I ordered a round cake to feed about 30-35 people. It was a white cake with frosting filling, fondant on the outside as well. It turned out just like i wanted and everyone said they loved it!! Thank you for helping make it a memorable event with your beautiful cake! read more

Sweet Beginnings has become our go to place for special occasions. They did the cake for our sons Baptism and fist birthday in recent months, and we received so many compliments! The cakes looks amazing, and taste delicious. I felt they were reasonably priced for what you are getting, and were actually priced more reasonably in comparison to other specialty bakeries. In addition to cakes, they have a nice selection of dessert and pastries which are always delicious! read more

Bought a selection of tarts. Had purchased these before and they were good. The batch we just bought seemed lacking in filling and the crust was either to thick or just old. Also, purchased as coffee cake that I had bought before as well. Again, filling was definitely lacking. Hope this is a one off. Maybe a bad day or new baker? read more

So glad I did NOT listen to them on cake size. I told them I had a 25 person wedding. They suggested a 12 inch round. My Mom did not think that would be big enough. I ended up ordering a 2 tier cake not sure what the round sizes were. They person helping me said that would feed 40 people. At my wedding I ended up having 4 left over pieces of cake. If I would have ordered that 12 inch round I would not have enough cake to feed everyone! I wouldn't even say they were big hardy pieces of cake either, they were very moderately sized. read more

An all around horrible experience. I ordered a cassata cake for a birthday dinner. A cassata cake is made with ricotta cheese and chocolate chip filling. Apparently they use whipped cream filled with "some" ricotta. I was not told this when I placed my order. The cake was not good. There was no ricotta flavor or texture. I assumed that I received the wrong cake. I called to say that I believed that I got the wrong cake and this is when I was told that they use whipped cream. The person on the phone argued with me about what a cassata cake is and asked me "what the fuck I wanted." So I spent $42 on a lousy cake and got sworn at. Totally unprofessional and crazy. So if you want an overpriced, no flavor cake with a a side of verbal abuse this is the place for you. RIP Sweet Beginnings, this is the end! read more

Two general areas in this review: quality of food and quality of character of the owners. To be upfront and honest, I've known Darren since middle school and think of him as one of the most genuinely nice people I have ever met. That being said... This is a great bakery. What we've ordered so far: - Cookies - Cinnamon bread - Cupcakes (especially the Loganberry, our daughters LOVE them) Everything has been great and they are very, very reasonable with their pricing. read more

This bakery scammed me. I ordered 2 dozen custom cookies and received cookies that were misshapen, messy, broken, and dripping with poorly mixed icing. I could have made prettier cookies with a blindfold on. They clearly don't take pride in their work or their customer service, as I tried reaching out to them on instagram and facebook and was blocked by their account. BEWARE of doing business with this scam bakery. If you would like to see photos of the cookies they gave me, check out my google review, they are shocking. read more

Broken cookies!!! Ordered 4 dozen cut out cookies, found 7 broken upon transfer to platter. This is not acceptable. Bakery claims they broke in transit, perhaps they did, but we were very gentle with the boxes. I've transported many many cut out cookies before, never with this issue. Owner will not discuss refund of the pro-rata cost, only store credit. Overall not impressed with the experience. read more
