Two years in a row, I got a beautiful cake here for my daughter's birthday. I gave a few photos for inspiration and they nailed it. Like a work of art! I didn't get to actually eat any of it last year, but this year I did and it was delicious. read more

Delicious cupcakes! I love lemon cupcakes and this was by far the best one I've had in a while. They were also sampling almond cake and that was very good as well. I wish I lived closer because I'd come here every week. If you're not into cupcakes they also had cake pops, Rice Krispie treats, cookies, hot chocolate bombs, drip coffee, teas and several other things to try. Staff was very friendly, shop was clean and nicely decorated, Yelp check in special was accepted. read more

3rd times a charm. I ordered a few dozen cups cakes lemon, choc with raspberry, German choc, white, and choc. I ordered a couple doz cake pops, which my theme was fishing for my uncles 90th birthday, she made them fish and bobbins. I sent fishing poles and pic of fish, and then I ordered a personal birthday cake, which she designed just has I asked I sent a rubber fish. it turned out great. She also sent me pictures which made me so happy. Everyone at the gathering loved the cupcakes. I live in AZ so I have used this bakery a total of 3 x and she has never disappointed. I would highly recommend for taste design and customer service. read more

Stopped by this bakery on a Saturday afternoon. It is small and quiet. Looks like they still had plenty of flavors left but I specifically came in for the cherry almond as it was their special flavor for April and not enough bakeries make cherry! Service: okay, not bad but not outstanding. Was just asked what I wanted and then checked out. Fine by me but just should be a little happier in a bakery of all places! No complaints though as I was able to get in and out. The cupcake: loved the cherry, fantastic flavor! The almond part with the icing was okay, but I think I would have preferred a sweeter vanilla. Still a great moist cupcake with fabulous icing and cake ratio. My only complaint - I bought two and they put two in a pink bag rather than a sturdy box. I get that it is more economical for them, but I was traveling with it and then did a lot of walking around with them while being at Birkdale in Huntersville before finally having them with dinner. So I had to be extra cautious with them rather than if they had been in a small box. read more

YAY For gluten free cupcakes!!! They also have cake pops and other gluten free items. I do wish they were alittle fresher. I got them on a holiday and they were very fresh but the recent time I went they were on there way out. They were a tad dry and icing wasn't as fluffy . Recommend going in a holiday or preordering read more

Sweet Cakes went above and beyond! The customer service was top notch and the cake came out beautifully!! We ordered the lemon berry cake and OMG it was the most moist and delicious cake I have ever had!! Thank you Sweet Cakes for doing such a fabulous job, the cake was a hit for my sisters birthday! read more

They made a cookie cake, cupcakes and a wonderful wedding cake for my son and daughter in law's wedding. Everyone loved it. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a cake or cookies. Extremely friendly and helpful. read more

I am so thrilled to have tried this bakery. Not only is everyone incredibly kind and patient, but their work is so creative and tastes outstanding. I ordered a cake for my dad's retirement party, and they went above and beyond and delivered a cake that impressed everyone who attended. I requested a variation of a sheet cake they had created in the past, and they executed it perfectly. Not only is it beautiful, but it tasted even better! Will definitely continue ordering from Sweet Cakes in the future! read more

I ordered 46 cake pops for my daughter's 4th birthday. I spoke with Angie and she was incredibly helpful giving ideas and getting my order perfect over the phone. They were arranged more neatly than my photos, but I moved them around. The flavor was delicious, high quality and very affordable compared to other places I spoke with that (in my opinion) were over-priced. I'm excited to use them for our next event. Thank you!! read more

Sweet Cakes Bakery - Vanilla Cake Pops - Bakeries Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

This is my third and final time ordering from them, the quality of the decorating and cake taste has gone down significantly since my first order. The first cake I ordered was perfect, a sushi cake that was beautiful and tasty. the second cake for my birthday, I was less happy with the appearance but overall it was still cute. The cake turned out to be inedible though, it was too sweet and we ended up throwing it out. It had been a year so I took a chance, and ordered a naked cake with lettering. The lettering was very sloppy, there were lots of blobs of icing where there shouldn't be, the is we're not dotted, ts not crossed. Because they showed the person that picked it up and they accepted it, they were not able to do anything. But also after talking to the manager it was clear they were unwilling to do anything. I ended up paying 50 something bucks for a cake I'm unhappy with. This bakery is fine for the odd character cake, but I wouldn't trust them past what you would trust a Publix bakery. read more

BUYER BEWARE! Placed a cupcake order for delivery. I received a note with my order that they were out of vanilla and hoped I still enjoy the flavors they replaced them with. NO, you replace them with peanut butter, severely allergic and had to throw entire 1/2 dozen away. Have some decency and common sense, it would take a second to call the customer. I immediately called the bakery, no answer. I called again this morning, explained to "manager" she apologizes and then hung up on me. UNBELIEVABLE! read more

Sweet Cakes Bakery - Letter from Sweetcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

We had originally hired Sweet Cakes for a custom cake for my dad's retirement and they nailed it. When it came time to coming up with creative ideas for my Bridesmaid Proposals, I thought none other than Sweet Cakes to design some custom cookies for me! They just asked me to email them any inspiration pictures and specifics (writing, colors, etc) and I let them do the rest! Could not imagine a better turn out! Thank you Sweet Cakes! read more

Cannot say enough great things about this bakery! We were in a last minute crunch for a birthday cake and sweet cakes bakery went above and beyond for us. Not only did the cake taste unbelievable, but it looks exactly like the inspiration photo we showed them. They are also very good about allergies as we did have a few dietary restrictions that they were able to work around. Will definitely be ordering from them again. read more

Sweet Cakes Bakery - Custom birthday cake - Bakeries Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Convenient location near my bank so I popped in after getting funds wired to the attorney for closing. It was really late and slim pickings but I managed a six pack plus a shooter to go. I don't do this so much anymore so first impressions mean a lot and I'm disappointed by the offerings here. It's spendy for what you get: not enough uninspired frosting on a smallish cake. The lemon was well reported but the others were dry and required milk to get them down. Regardless of the late hour I expect full-price frosted cupcakes to be moist and delicious rather than bland and crumby - not since the days of the Afrika Korps has German Chocolate been so parched. read more

Unfortunately we had a very bad experience with this bakery. They didn't follow any of the instructions for decorating the cake and within hours of picking it up, this bubble appeared on top. They refused to discount the cake at all. Buyer beware. read more

Sweet Cakes Bakery - So many to choose from!!!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

I really wanted to like this place, but after a few tries, I haven't received a fresh/moist cupcake. I wish the best for them and hope for consistency and high quality products as they continue to grow. read more

I'm giving this bakery three stars because the people there seemed pretty nice. The cupcakes on the other hand were not good at all. The icing was very hard the they all looked like they had been sitting there for quite some time. They also appeared to have been thrown together at the last minute. The girl working recommended a cookie dough cupcake & it looked like a piece of a chips ahoy cookie stuck in the top & the icing was hard as a rock. The prices seemed pretty reasonable but after eating them I feel like Ive been ripped off. There are way better bakeries out there to choose from. read more

Sweet Cakes Bakery - Top of a cookie dough cupcake (after I took a bite) you can see on the top where I touched the icing and it cracked because it was so hard. - Bakeries Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

I cannot believe I haven't gotten around to rating my first 5 star rated business. Sweetcakes IS as good as it gets. The cupcakes list changes every day, go online to see that days choices. http://sweetcakesbakery.com/FlavorSchedule.aspx. Once they're sold out for the day they are out for the day. You can purchase 1 or 2, or a box of 4, box of 6 or box of 12 in attractive, gift-worthy boxes. They'll wrap in plastic if you don't plan to serve until the following day and they recommend never refrigerating. They are right, do not refrigerate! Sweetcakes is one of those things that when you give one to an unsuspecting person they take a bite, look at you in disbelief and become a convert before it's done. I have been converting people for years now, bringing a dozen to a new mother, or a dozen in for a coworkers birthday or, as you can tell by the Wildcat paw, we order them frequently for use at the college. The Salted Caramel is far and away my favorite. Chocolate cake with a caramel bite on the inside and (I guess) salted caramel frosting with a drizzle of caramel and a sprinkle of sea salt. The Davidson Wildcat paw chocolate on chocolate cupcake we special order for official visit recruits to give as a welcoming treat. I could describe each cupcake at length but if you look at my pictures you'll get a fair idea of what you're getting. I do think they should get rolls of stickers with the name of each cupcake on them so they could be attached to the inside of the box before leaving the store. I have to run back home and write them all down before I forget and I think that would be prettier and classier. Prices are $3.25 for one and $35.75 for a dozen. If you buy less than a dozen you can use your punchcard to earn a free cupcake! They also offer mini cupcakes if you're dying for just a bite at $1.25 each but the full size ones are just a stitch moister and more delicious, so why not splurge and treat yourself to one? They are closed Sundays and Mondays (it's odd how many times I've needed to get cupcakes for some event on a Monday!). Oh, and if you get the Peppermint Pattie cupcake it needs to go in it's own box because the peppermint aroma permeates the others. I'm not superstitious so I just buy a dozen plus a peppermint pattie one, 13 doesn't bother me ;) read more

I love Sweet Cakes Bakery! I saw on Facebook they were promoting Grinch Cupcakes and knew I had to try them! The cupcakes were the best I have ever had! The frosting shape is so cute and beautifully decorated and you can taste all the amazing ingredients it took to make them! I also snagged a mini cinnamon cupcake for the road and I am now hooked. The location is right off exit 28 on 77 easy to get to. Will most definitely tell friends and be back soon! Did I mention the staff was so sweet too! read more

I had a last minute need for a cake, and when no other bakery would take my order they did. The cake was beautiful, and all 20 of my guests were raving over it and wanting seconds. The picture shows a triple layer 8 inch round. It was more than enough to feed the group! Thank you so much!!! read more

By far the best cupcakes in the lake Norman area by far!!!! I consider myself a cupcake snob, after one taste of the Salted caramel chocolate cupcake I was sold!! Love this place and will highly recommend you give these ladies a try!!! YUM!!!! Update on 12/30/15 - I recently placed a custom order around Christmas for my gender reveal. The cupcakes turned out gorgeous and were the hit of Christmas Day. They did a great job of keeping the gender a surprise. read more

Great cupcakes and treats (especially the salted caramel Cupcake that was awesome!) cakes look great too. Will be back soon!

This is my all time favorite bakery! They have delicious and moist cupcakes and I love that they rotate some featured flavors too. I have had a few cakes decorated from sweet cakes, but my most recent one stood out the most. They went over the top to decorate my cake exactly how I asked and it was just as delicious as their cupcakes. My favorite flavors are the strawberry, almond, and cookies & cream but you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Will definitely be back again soon! read more

I love local bakeries and came across this one today. I never can make up my mind on what I want to try so when I walked in I ordered one of everything they had available. They had a ton of cupcake flavors. I got a couple cupcakes (FYI they were very good) but what I really wanted to try were the brownie bars, cake pops and cookies. The vanilla cake pops were fantastic. Great vanilla flavor, the cake was the perfect consistency. Really well done. The cookies taste homemade which is what any person wants. Buttery, soft on inside with crisp outside. Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate and sugar cookie were wonderful. Again, great flavor. But the brownie bars were on another level of epic wonderfulness. I tried the Millionaire Shortbread, the Ooey Gooey Bar, the Cookie Dough Brownie and a Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie. OMG!!! Some of the best flavors I have tasted from a bakery. Every single brownie bar was phenomenal. I travel a lot and love to go to local bakeries. I am shocked that there is such an amazing bakery only 15 min from where I live. Highly recommend this local gem. read more

Thank you for pulling off the theme to our Baby Shower to perfection. The Cake and Cookies were so yummy. The artistry of the both was amazing. In my experience, such a beautiful cake could disappoint on eating. But, guest were taking pictures and actually wanted seconds. Oh, the taste so delicious! read more

Overpriced cupcakes/cake pops that are small & super inconsistent in taste (some occasions they're moist & tasty, other times dry & over baked). After many months of not coming here, I decided to give them another try. I visited today (7/23/2020 at 4:40 PM) & the girl (who was super unfriendly) grabbed my cupcake by the rim with no gloves (hello, COVID-19...this should be time time if heightened cleanliness) so of course I said no thank you & left (she put the cupcake back in the display for sale). Do yourself a favor & go to the nearby Smallcakes or Nothing Bundt Cakes for consistently tasty sweets that are a better value. read more

Did a FANTASTIC job. My daughters 1st birthday cake was absolutely perfect and adorable!

I ordered a poop emoji shaped cake from here and did not get what I was expecting. Instead of I got a regular blue cake with emoji decorations. The person who took my order over the phone said I that told her I didn't care what the cake looked like... which I didn't say.. bc why would I order a $80 cake and not care what it looks like. I also wanted a cake that would feed 10-15 people, instead they made a cake that was enough to feed only 8-10. They offered to remake a new cake for me to pick the next day, but why would I want the cake the next day? I need the cake the same day. They were nice enough to give me a discount for the whole situation and threw in some free mini cupcakes too but my son did not get what he wanted. read more

The BEST cupcakes in the area, hands down. The flavor schedule and a detailed description of each flavor is listed on the Sweet Cakes website. I recommend looking through it and deciding what flavors sound best to you beforehand because all of the flavors look delicious and it can be difficult to decide on only a few. I always go in planning to purchase a couple of cupcakes but end up leaving with a full box! I live in Mooresville and crave Sweet Cakes on a weekly basis, my only complaint is that there isn't a closer location! But I always stop by when I'm in the area read more

Just tried this place for my bf's bday and got 5. Came in 20 mins before closing Saturday and there was still a good selection. Got the chocolate, vanilla, Boston creme, red velvet and orange creamsicle. I tried the first three listed and they were all very good! I moved here from NYC where I lived nearby magnolia bakery and these are better than magnolia cupcakes by far (not better than Georgetown cupcakes though...). I don't feel sick or gross after eating these cupcakes, seems like they really don't have preservatives in them. The cupcakes still tasted fresh a day after purchasing. I'll get my next special occasion cupcakes here. I had been going to icing in Mooresville, which is also good if you're by there. I tried sweet cakes coz that other shop was closed and glad I found a new place! Huge flavor selection u can check out online, though they won't all be available depending on when u enter the store read more

I've had several custom orders from this place and they always go above and beyond, taking time to listen to all my ideas and bring them to life.

Try the Salted Caramel, it's the best! read more

Ordered a cylindrical cake that was to be small around and high. I received a short and fat cake instead. The top was supposed to look like beading for a rosary, and it was poorly made. The top edges of the cake were also not smoothed out the way they should have been. It did not look elegant or like the photo I provided at all. Not at all worth the nearly $250 I paid for it. read more
