    This place has the most amazing peanut butter fudge. The owner is so kind and will make special…read morerequests. Great cupcakes and chocolate dipped strawberries. White cake balls are my favorite of all time.

    This place is delicious however I am very disappointed with the service…read more My fiancé and I booked them for our wedding months in advance. 2.5 months before the wedding we reached out to see if we could meet up to just go over and finalize it all before the wedding. They had recently moved and we were told that they lost the book with our order. They still had the picture of the cake we wanted but no information on numbers of cupcakes, cake balls, or flavors. Mind you we only found out because we reached out to them... Okay crap happens so I asked if we could meet up again and go over and offered have a date that worked with our schedules because my fiancé only has one weekend off a month. I explained that and said that I didn't remember the flavors we had decided on and would like to meet anyway. The owner read the message and never replied. After talking to my fiancé we decided that we would go a different direction with our wedding and I sent another message to let them know that and told them I hoped they had a great week. Again, they read the message and didn't reply. You cannot comment on fb to leave a review so that's why I'm doing it here. The treats are delicious but the lack of response and communication of this mistake has really turned me off from them and I won't be going back. Now 2.5 months before our wedding we are working to book someone else. I know it'll all work out but still it's an inconvenience and the fact that we haven't heard anything else from the shop is a huge disappointment.

    I picked this provider because the reviews suggested that she was good and her pictures also showed…read morethat she has talent in unique cake designs at a very fair price. BUT Communication: I was having trouble getting information out of her and had to ask several questions to get an answer. Response time took forever and the responses were very short UNTIL I started to speak about payment then everything was fine. style: Don't get my wrong the cake was pretty close (the two stars) We had a Taco Bell themed party and the inspiration cake was fake Taco Bell packs and "sauce" which I assumed would be made out of JELLY. NO, she put actual taco bell packets (did tell me she had to use real ones) and actual Taco Bell sauce on our cake that dried and looked disgusting. The very front of the cake was messed up. I was going to try and fix it myself when I got home but I was afraid I would make it worse. The whole thing just felt sloppy. Taste: This cake was not good. The layers of actual cake was thick and dry and the "filling" was so thin. The icing was thick that almost everyone picked most of it off and there was so much left over. And don't get me started on the taco sauce and the taste of that . Overall, I was very disappointed and will be going somewhere else next time.

    Very fast and great customer service!! The cake was amazing!! Very delicious and beautifully made…read more Definitely recommend

    Really liked it. I believe it's mostly, if not all, vegan. I know they were experimenting with some…read moreitems with dairy a while ago but I did not notice any non-vegan items while I was there, so not sure if that's still a thing. Anyway, it is a little out of the way. It's walkable from downtown but not really in the downtown core. Pretty quiet when I was there, but the atmosphere felt approachable. Some of the chairs were like school desk chairs (adult-sized, of course) that I haven't seen since I was in primary school which was kind of funny. The guy at the counter was cheerful and friendly. They looked like they had run out of some of the hot savory items by Saturday mid-afternoon, but there was still a wide variety of sweets. I believe the current owners are Indian, and you see some of those flavours featured. I got: Samosa handpie: Good, not mind-blowing, but good. Nice flavours. If you like a flaky crust, this is not it, but I liked the rustic pastry crust. Pistachio cardamom donut: Loved it. Before I moved to Bloomington, there were a few bakeries that offered vegan-GF cake donuts that I loved, and this was the first thing I've gotten here that reminded me of that. Pleasant texture and strong cardamom flavour, not too sweet. I think these are baked donuts, so they're a little different from regular fried donuts, but in a good way IMO. Rose dream latte: Milk with rose syrup topped with coconut whip and nuts, no espresso. Tasted great, but more of a dessert drink than I was expecting. The coconut whip was quite thick. The concept could probably use some refinement, because the whip was too thick and rigid to drink without a straw, but the nut pieces were too big to go through a straw, and so I couldn't figure out the best way to drink it. From what I understand, there are some longtime fans of this place who feel like the quality has dropped since the most recent change in ownership, but as someone who had never been here before, I really had a good experience. I get why people would be upset when something changes, but if you are considering trying this place for the first time, I wouldn't be too put off by the negativity around the change in ownership. There's no other place specialized in vegan baking in Bloomington, so I think it's good to support what they are continuing to do here, and even though I am partial to vegan food I wouldn't say that if it wasn't also GOOD. They also had some refreshingly unique options for baked goods.

    Rainbow Bakery sits off of 4th street west of the IU campus. It's all vegan, and we had a chance to…read morestop by and get two donuts and a cookie. The inside is cute and whimsical. The owners, a Sikh family, gave us their cardamom donut for free. The samosa hand pies were out. I would rate it 4/5. The decor was nice, and the owners were friendly. We were told that the staff is limited, and the owners themselves are thinking of selling this location and hoping to restart it in Greenwood, where they currently live and actually drive down to Bloomington every day. The matcha latte was fine. Everything was fine but not great. The vegan chocolate chip cookie was good, but could've used more chocolate chips.

    Sugar Studio by Tiers of Elegance has a huge variety of cupcakes. When I visited on a random…read moreSaturday, I saw at least a dozen different flavors: wedding cake, cherry chip, peanut butter chocolate chip, strawberry, lemon and many more. They also had chocolate chip cookie sandwiches, frosted sugar cookies, cake pops and slabs of frosted cake to go. There was just so much sugary goodness everywhere I looked. We picked up a variety pack of cupcakes to go, and my kids loved them. The cupcakes are more on the smaller side, which is great with me because they are so rich -- you really only need two or three bites and you're satisfied. The frosting on the cupcakes tastes like it's a buttercream base. The cupcakes are meticulously decorated -- all of them had a sprinkling of edible gold, so it felt that much more elevated. Fancy cupcakes! If you want to make a big impression on someone, gifting a cupcake or two from this place will do the trick.

    Absolutely fabulous cakes! They have a nice selection of…read morecupcakes and slices of cake. We got the Oreo, red velvet, and a big slice of chocolate cake with white frosting, which was my personal favorite. The cake texture was at once moist & fluffy.. The ratio of frosting to cake = A+. The frosting was not too sweet, which was lovely. Sugar Studio knows how to create beautiful and delicious cakes! It's one of my new favorite bakeries! Service was super friendly and parking was easy (they have a lot).
