I called the owner, Rachel, and left a voicemail. She promptly returned my call and I placed an order for next day delivery. I decided to order a dozen of the Strawberry Shortcake flavor. Ordering and paying was a breeze, and I thought both the cost of the cupcakes and the delivery fee were reasonable. Rachel delivered the cupcakes on time and was very communicative. Icing on the cake: my aunt said they were delicious! I will definitely order with Dainty Cakes again for future birthdays and highly recommend this business!

None of the pretty colors. No sparkle, no glam, not the same at all! My toddler and I split a strawberry cupcake. We inquired about their selection, wanting to bring home a dairy free treat for her brother, but the employee wasn't too confident about their ingredients. Also, while we were snacking, a lady walked in and asked the employee a flavor suggestion for a girl's birthday. The employee basically said "I don't know" and left it at that. Being the chatter box that I am, I spoke up, suggested the delightful strawberry cupcake, and the lady ordered quite a few. Spruce the place up and find some employees a bit more enthusiastic about the product, please!

We took our daughter to get a birthday cupcake on a weekday afternoon and we arrived to a full…read moreselection of cupcakes. All flavors including their specials were available as well as cake pops and truffles. She chose Dr Love, an incredible moist chocolate cupcake with fluffy strawberry frosting and topped with a strawberry and chocolate syrup. The frosting won with this one. She couldn't eat it all. Are the expensive, yep. Right under $5 for one but I bake at home and baking the cupcakes is tough enough to make them perfectly even. Icing cupcakes is an art. You are paying for the art of the cupcake. They also use quality ingredients (you can see their stock from the counter). I knocked a star off because although the man at the counter was kind he was aloof and kind of a bummer for a little girl on her birthday about to get a delicious cupcake. The actual eating area needs an update, there is nothing about it that makes you want to sit and enjoy your cupcake. This place for sure has potential to be five stars.

We requested it look "foresty" since our wedding was in Redwood National Park and she absolutely nailed it. She took so much stress off of me by basically designing it herself. I sent the cake topper to her from an Etsy shop and she worked with me through all of that as well! The cake was delicious, beautiful, and delivered right on time as promised. She even helped me understand how to store it and serve it for the best taste. She truly is amazing and I would get my wedding cake from her again if I had to do it all over again. THANK YOU so much for contributing this amazing cake on our special day. I will never forget it!

TL;DR: This cafe is super cute and it's worth stopping by for a cupcake and a coffee if you're…read moreallergic to gluten and dairy or you're vegan. If you're neither of those things and wondering if it's worth a visit, I'd say you're better off sticking with options like French Market in Brookside. For food options, check out Cafe Gratitude, Whole Harvest Kitchen, or naturally vegan options like Blue Nile Cafe. The cupcakes here are generally high quality and have a great crumb to them, BUT I would recommend getting one cupcake of any given flavor first and making sure you like it before buying up a dozen or ordering a cake. The cupcakes here can be hit or miss, with some having a mushier texture or muddier flavor to them. Apart from the consistency issue, the only reason I wouldn't recommend The Littlest Bake Shop's pastries is because of the frosting. The frosting here is on the stiff, sugary side, which makes for pretty cupcakes but less than ideal mouthfeel. If you prefer frosting on the lighter side, this place likely isn't for you. I was a little bit more disappointed by the food. I ordered the Grilled Cheeze and the Littlest Big Brunch, and while everything was okay, nothing stood out. The greens on the side of the Grilled Cheeze were just spring mix without any kind of dressing, and the gravy was a weird gummy texture. Both dishes were way overpriced compared to the portion size, and the salt and pepper potatoes were the best part of each. Overall, I wanted to love this place much more than I actually did and would come back for a cupcake but not for the food.

I will say upfront this is a really pretty cake, custom covered in a reproduction of a painting I…read moredid and my artist signature. That's the reason I gave 2 stars and not just 1. My good friend ordered me a custom birthday cake from this bakery. When he went to pick it up, it was not decorated to what he asked for (it was supposed to have additional icing detail on the sides and adornments on top). I cut into it and it looks good but the cake layers are uneven/thin, icing layers are thick in ratio to the cake and the sugar paper wasn't adhered well (wavy). The icing is overly sweet and the white cake was supposed to be wedding white but it's a buttermilk white. It's tangy, tastes off and the blue icing had so much color it has that dye aftertaste. The cake is pretty but it's not good. I don't know what my friend paid for it but I am guessing it was pricey because it was custom. I love supporting local but not if it's a poor product. I would think twice before buying a custom cake here.
