So glad we stopped here before eating at Asiana's. We walked in just before closing time at 6p. Regular sized cupcakes were $3, they all looked so yummy. I was torn between the salted caramel and red velvet. Luckily, I saw the $1.10 mini cupcakes which were the perfect size for tasting. I ended up getting the red velvet, salted caramel and banana chocolate mini cupcakes. Woah, the red velvet is sooo good! The banana chocolate was a close second. These were the perfect sugar level, not too little and not too much. The icing was great. The salted caramel tastes wonderful, but was a little too sweet for me. Other than that, definitely coming back! Yum! read more

So very disappointed! I use this bakery for almost every occasion. Cake was for my son's 2nd birthday. I ordered a train cupcake cake with chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. It was very cute! I was excited when we picked it up! However the cupcakes were very dry and no flavor, tasted like unflavored cake for both chocolate and vanilla. Considering I have used this place before and the cost of the cake I was expecting a lot better. Today it leaves much to be desired. read more

This is the best place! They have been so accommodating each time I've been in. They have gluten free and dairy free options. I love the gluten free cupcakes with the vegan icing! read more

My friends birthday was this weekend and her mom ordered us a cake from y'all. We go to school and Tennessee but her brother goes to school in North Carolina and brought a cake down to us. I truly do believe that this is the best cake I've ever had in my entire life. The cake honestly made my weekend! It was delicious and I felt so blessed to be eating a cake so good. Y'all are doing such a great job and y'all's recipes are on point! read more

The women working here absolutely MADE MY DAY! I stopped in shortly after my husband and I had a 3D ultrasound and found out the sex of our baby. We had the doctor conceal the sex in an envelope which I brought to SweetCakes Bakery and they immediately created the most adorable "He Or She" cupcake and secretly filled it will blue icing for us so my husband and I could slice into later that night and find out whether we were having a boy or a girl in our home -- just the two of us. They went above and beyond to decorate the cupcake in the CUTEST way and shared in my excitement while I waited. The cupcake itself was absolutely delicious and the customer service was beyond fabulous! read more

Honestly the best place to go. I'm happy to drive all the way from SC to get cakes and other delectable sweets! Can't recommend them enough! read more

Meh. I went in, the lady was so unfriendly, I asked about her flavors and got short replies..for $3.50 I want a description and a smile. The icing is meh too, it's a square top to give an impression of icing but its minimal. The actual cupcake was OK, I got the mini ones cause at this point I didn't want to buy anything. Still ended up paying approximately $30 *shrugs shoulders... read more

We had SweetCakes create our wedding cupcakes and not only were they delicious, the pictures are just so much fun to look back on. SC has become a birthday staple for our family, and the miniature cupcakes are perfect for parties. Full-sized cupcakes are a serious commitment; we usually quarter them so everyone can taste a variety. By far our favorites: Carrot, Salted Caramel and Peanut Butter. Drool.... oh and owners and staff are delightful and helpful. One of our favorite local businesses to support! read more

This is the best place to go if you are planning an event. I hosted a baby for my friend. and this is the cake they made for me. Everyone at the party loved it! read more

Disappointing. The cupcakes looked pretty but were smaller than the gourmet cupcakes I was expecting. And for the price--yikes. I was willing to pay more for something special but these just weren't great. The cake was dry on the same day I purchased them on all three flavors. The icing was good but not spectacular, and on one cupcake seemed a bit crusty. The key lime was pretty weak in flavor. Cake pops on the other hand were great. Not sure I'll return here again since there are better bakeries in this area. read more

My first visit, and I tried two flavors, lemon and salted caramel. Wow. The flavors are amazing. I liked those two so much, I don't know if I would bother trying any others. We'll see. I do agree that the woman behind the counter was kind of cold. Not sure why. (I mean, it's cupcakes! Beautiful cupcakes! Be happy; you're doing good in the world.) But I will certainly get cupcakes from here for special occasions (it's a little out of my way, but worth the trip and the cost of $3.50 per perfect cupcake). I've had cupcakes at Magnolia in NYC and from several Charlotte bakeries. None comes close to SweetCakes. Try it! read more

Best service and cake I have had in N.C.! It had been a really rough week at work so went to get something sweet for the team. I asked if they had a small cake. They did not have anything prepared which is the norm...they had a case full of cupcakes. The lady who waited on me literally checked the refrigerator/freezer; gave me 3 options on cake flavors and asked if I could wait ~20 minutes. She did also ask me about frosting type....I asked to be surprised..the week had been so bad it really did not matter anything would be great. When I returned, I rec'd a beautiful fully decorated cake...I actually thought it was a anniversary cake top for someone else. It tasted as delicious as it looked. Team loved it! Forever a customer now! Thank you Sweet Cakes. read more

I had the MOST TERRIBLE experience with this bakery today. My daughter was having her birthday photo shoot, and the cake that I placed an order for was never made. The employees who took my order obviously wrote down my information incorrectly, despite me having been a previous customer. However I gave a specific date that I had reached out prior to that with pictures on their Facebook page, along with my name, and they did not use that mode to contact me either. Instead, they never actually went through with my order. They said they could make the cake for me later in the day after I had already taken off work for the morrning, but they said they would not be willing to offer any sort of discoun for the inconvenience. This is the absolute worst form of customer service, and I will never recommend them again! I am very disappointed the manager did not even have the courtesy to speak with me. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Pick another bakery, and support someone who cares for their customers! read more

Delicious and adorable cupcakes and matching smash cake for my daughter's birthday! Wendy is amazing to work with. My go-to for special occasions. Highly recommend. read more

I customized a mermaid birthday cake here for my daughter's birthday. I have to say it's the most beautiful cake I have ever seen in my life, well execution. We created a great memory for her. Owner is very friendly and patient answering all my questions over the phone and emails. I will come back next year for another birthday cake. read more

I had a key lime cupcake. The cake portion was thick and dry. If I pay $3.50 for a cupcake it should be at least as moist as Betty Crocker. The frosting was good and had key lime flavor, and was stacked up high on the sides of the cupcake to make it look like a thicker later than it was. read more

So disappointed.. My daughter and I were looking forward to trying gourmet cupcakes. Living so close I thought this would be the place to go. We have never had filling in a cupcake and were dying to try them. After carefully selecting 4 "filled" cupcakes for almost 15 bucks, I thought it would be worth it. So excited we got home to cut into the cupcakes to find less than a half teaspoon of filling inside. How disapointed were we you ask? So disappointed that I signed up for yelp just to post this review.... My Boston cream cupcake had NO CREAM!!! I will not return and will have to try the bakery down the street. read more

My wife stopped in after having lunch in the same shopping center. She bought a dozen cupcakes ( 2 each of 6 different types). The carrot cake one was like eating dried corn bread, the chocolate w/ salted caramel frost - was dried out. My wife tried a lemon and a red velvet- both were disappointing- threw the rest out - very disappointed read more

Absolutely delicious!! def stop by and give it a try. I like that they have a schedule on their website with flavors so you can come in on a day to get the one you like. The sell common flavors everyday and specialty flavors on certain days. They sell fast! Def worth a try! read more

Best cupcakes in the entire Charlotte area!! These cupcakes have the PERFECT amount of icing. It's not piled high and overwhelming like other cupcake bakeries. The daily flavor selections are perfect. I have personally devoured a salted caramel cupcake and it was the best I've ever had!! read more

The best bakery in the Lake Norman area in my opinion! The red velvet cupcakes are so good, and the presentation of everything is darling. I would definitely recommend these next time your sweet tooth acts up read more

This is beyond a wonderful bakery!! 'Never ever disappointed!! The cupcakes are exceptional!! My fav is the strawberry but there is something for everybody. Occasionally, they have sinful, iced cookies (during holidays). They obviously don't spare any expense on the best possible ingredients. All their bakery goods are delectable and beautiful!! The local owners and staff are always friendly and professional. No chain here!! read more

Great baked goods. We tried two styles of cupcakes, both delicious. It's very small. Set up take out or pick up orders. We ordered a cake to pick up the next week. read more

After living in the area for 16 years, I can say these are truly the very best cupcakes in Lake Norman. Delicious cake and frosting, so many flavors, and just the right amount of sugar. Having the mini-cupcakes is a definite plus, too. The only real issue is that they aren't open on Sundays and Mondays. The owners definitely need to expand the business to other lake towns like Huntersville, Mooresville, and Davidson. They would do well to expand!! read more
