We ordered for custom cake as per our choice and decoration they did perfect job.Nice cakes second time.we enjoyed it. Only thing is location,which is at very odd area.
While walking my dog, I came upon this small shop in its somewhat random location and decided to give them a try. Their retail bakery is only open on Fridays and Saturdays after 12 PM so I was very lucky to be there while they were open! The bakery was bright and adorable and there's even a pink couch to lounge on. They have a display case that offers all of the treats that they have for the day. I tried a "bombe", macarons, and the honey combs and they gave me a free meringue since I spent over a certain amount which I thought was really nice. --Bombe-- Their chocolate and pomegranate mousse bombe was a very pretty chocolate dome filled with the flavored chocolate mousse and chocolate cake. The mousse was light and not too sweet, but I couldn't really taste the pomegranate. The chocolate cake base was nice and moist and the combo of the mousse with the cake made for a nice dessert overall. I think these bombes would be nice to have for a nice evening in or even as something to bring over for a dinner party since they're all so pretty. --Macarons-- They had an assortment of pretty macarons in their display case as well. They had a deal for their macaron (12 for $17) so I got a full dozen to try. The shells were all hollow unfortunately which made them really crumbly. I thought the flavors were just ok, none that really stood out to me in particular. --Honey Comb-- The honey combs were chocolate covered and I really liked that a lot. I thought the dark chocolate contrasted the sweetness of the honey well. These were addictively crunchy so I had to forcibly stop myself from finishing off the whole container myself. --Meringue-- As for my free meringue, I chose the birthday cake meringue (they had a strawberry one that day, too). Though it was very sweet [as meringues should be], it was unique and fun to eat. It was crisp, light, and airy on the outside with a cake batter flavored soft center. Though their retail hours are super limited, I'm still surprised that there weren't more reviews for Sweet Fix because they do offer pretty good desserts!
I found out about this bakery while searching for bakeries that were able to make unicorn cakes. My daughter wanted a unicorn cake for her birthday, and after I talked with this bakery about what we wanted it to look like and the flavors they were able to put together a cake that was beyond what we imagined. They are great with responding to calls and emails! The bakery was not hard to find. It's a nice little shop that I'm sure has a nice view of the city from the back of the building. I like that there is a gravel parking area across the street from them. I hate parallel parking on narrow streets. The inside is lovely! Very spacious and welcoming. There is a small section with miniatures that are fun to look at. The entire place smells good! A sweet smell. Not an overbearing sugary smell. They packaged the cake nicely that made it easy to transport without trouble. The cake was a BIG hit with my daughter!
We are so pleased to have chosen Sweet Fix to create the cake for our September 2020 wedding! Not only was the owner Amanda very personable, communicative, and easy to work with, the cake itself looked beautiful and tasted amazing. We wanted something simple and elegant in appearance, to allow for our florist to decorate with the same florals we used throughout the venue - the end result was perfect and exactly what we had in mind. We also appreciated the extensive flavor options, as well as the ability to set up multiple take-home tastings after the initial meeting at the bakery. One last note/rave - we originally had our wedding scheduled for April 2020, which had to be postponed due to COVID. Amanda was so understanding and flexible - she worked with us and our event coordinator to accommodate our new date without any issues. We are so grateful to have worked with such a fantastic team of vendors - we 100% recommend Sweet Fix, not only for the delicious/beautiful cake, but for the professionalism!
You know, I fell in love with shyndigz a few weeks ago and thought it was the best bakery or dessert heaven, but I guess i was wrong. Sweet fix is beyond georgetown cupcakes or shyndigz. The interior is BEAUTIFUL and photos won't even do justice. I honestly want to hold my birthday here but I don't think that's possible. Their macarons are delicious, oh my god!! I would compare it to Ladurée, it's that perfect! I've also tried other desserts and they are just as great. Will order my graduation cake here for sure! This is my new happy place that I almost don't want anyone else to know about. It honestly makes me sad that after I review this place, others will bookmark it and it will no longer be my hidden gem. The ladies here are so talented! For decor they have displays of cake designs on the back wall, bumblegum pink couch that looks too good to even sit on and a wall filled with candies! It's surreal and I never wanted to leave!
Very cute little shop that just started doing retail, however from my understanding have been in the baking industry for years . I have been on a French Macaron kick lately and have had a hard time finding a place in Richmond that sell them . Places that do have them were horrible and not fresh and just done incorrectly all the way around. This place however did it justice and if you are a French Macaron lover, this is the place to get them. The flavor options at this time are limited but should be expanding. They also do personalize cakes!
Yay! to another place to ruin my diet! This place is super cute on the inside...makes me feel all girly and childish inside when I enter the place-lots of pink Desserts: I have been here a few times and tried several different things. So my favorite is the green tea macaron-they are fabulous! I have tried some other flavors of macarons (passion fruit, mango), but they were slightly too sweet for my taste buds and I couldn't finish those. I have tried the strawberry cupcake which was good. My only gripe would be the presentation of the salted caramel brûlée- after torching my dish, they unwrapped one of those tiny square caramel candy pieces (rubbed some salt on it) to place on top of the dessert and then added three pen point size drops of caramel on the perimeter-made it look childish and I was giving this to someone as a surprise and that ruined it a bit (but that is forgivable) Also, in case you are looking for prices inside: the menu prices are hard to see-its written on a mirror that is on the wall behind the register-its barely noticeable and you have to blind yourself to read it if the sun is shining that day (hopefully they change that soon) Overall Great little place for some real macarons and I would encourage you to try their other desserts! Each time I have visited, the staff has been very nice and that's a plus.
Had them cater my wedding cake for both the ceremony and the reception and could not have asked for better service and taste. Absolutely helpful and friendly, and worked with me on meeting my needs within my budget. Would HIGHLY recommend them!

The wedding cake of my DREAM!! Sweet fix was so easy to work with, and are always so open to communication, and helped me realized the vision i had for my cake. The macarons are SO POPULAR at the wedding, they were gone in like a few minutes. A few of our guests even asked us where we got them from. Well there you have it! Well done sweet fix team! read more
My brother ordered a surprise lavender cake for me and that was the best cake I ever had in my life!! The cake was a piece of art and it just had a good balance of flavors. I saw the cake and not only I was in joy but second, thought was, can I frame it forever? I waited till my brother's birthday and since he recently had a baby, I talked to Amanda to create a cake for me with a silhouette of father and son. I shared an image from Pinterest with her. She came up with her innovation based on our talk and again the experience with Sweet Fix became memorable. I would run out of words, that is how much I praise the professionalism, creativity, and cake itself. They give you more than a sweet treat, they help you to build memory and magical experience. read more

Sweet Fix made the most amazing cake for my friend's 50th birthday. My friend wanted an armadillo groom's cake, based on the cake in the movie Steel Magnolias. I live in California, and I wasn't sure whether I would be able to find anyone that I trusted to make the cake. I am so thrilled that I chose to contact Sweet Fix after finding them on the internet. They were quick to respond to my initial email, and all correspondence with them was efficient and easy. They asked all the right questions, and I was confident that they understood my expectation for the cake, and that I understood what they intended to create. The end result was truly amazing, and the birthday boy was incredibly happy. The detail on the cake was so precise that some of the guests didn't realize that it was a cake! I've attached a couple of pictures, but the cake was even more impressive in person. Thank you Sweet Fix! I wish that I lived in Richmond so that I could order another cake soon! read more
