If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would--this review is long overdue. I've been coming to Sweet Treets for years, and their cupcakes are still my go-to. They've somehow mastered what so many bakeries miss: a light, fluffy cake paired with icing that isn't overwhelmingly sweet. Everything is perfectly balanced and incredibly moist. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten cupcakes elsewhere and ended up scraping half the icing off just to enjoy the cake--but I've never had to do that here. That alone keeps me coming back. Full disclosure... I've never been a huge fan of things like cake pops or similar desserts (again... usually too sweet), so I had completely written off their cake cups, assuming they'd fall into the same category. I was wrong. So wrong. The owner convinced me to try one, and now I have a new obsession. My gateway was the Tiramisu cake cup and I cannot recommend it enough. Highly, highly, highly recommend. It's layered, balanced, and somehow even more indulgent without being heavy or overly sweet. I went back for another and ended up trying the chocolate (only because Tiramisu was sold out), and now I'm convinced you really can't go wrong with any of them. In fact... writing this has officially made me crave one, so I think I know where I'm headed next. If you haven't been here yet, go. And if you have--get the cake cup. read more

I was hosting my husband's 80th birthday. Because he plays guitar, I wanted his cake to be a 3-D guitar cake similar to the one he plays. After reaching out to several bakeries, Sweet Treets said "we can do it". I met with Christina at Sweet Treets and gave her a photo of the guitar. When the cake was delivered to the venue, the manager called me and said the cake was unbelievable and she has seen many cakes, but this one was the best ever. When we arrived, the cake was identical to the guitar. Even the "strings" of the guitar were perfect. Many of the guests thought it was real. The cake, the filling and the presentation were perfect. I would highly recommend this bakery, especially if you are looking for a personalize and spectacular cake. The artwork created for each cake is sophisticated and detailed. This bakery has it all. Want something different, delicious and fabulous, go to Sweet Treets. read more

Sweet Treets Bakery - Personalized Guitar - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Super unfortunate to give 2 stars because the employees were great and the cupcakes I ordered were beautiful, however they were pretty much inedible. The frosting tasted like burnt chemicals and the cake had almost no flavor. We didn't even eat a full cupcake :/ really disappointing read more

Sweet Treets was exceptional - quality, taste, experience, art, people. They did a birthday cake for my daughter that exceeded all expectations. My 3 year old daughter and I had turned her birthday cake into a project that we used to talk about colors, shapes and design concepts. Sweet treats joined us in the project with a smile instead of treating us like a nuisance and did a tasting, looked at the pictures my daughter had drawn and listened to both of us with a smile. They then turned our poorly drawn and over the top concept into the most beautiful cake I have ever seen. Thank you Sweet Treets! read more

Sweet Treets Bakery - Birthday cake - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Amazing cake designs , and they taste amazing as well! 4 stars because the last cake I had ordered from there had my child's name spelled wrong and they had nobody at the bakery at pickup to fix. I emailed after to let them know and I did not even receive an apology, it was just a "thanks for letting us know". Crazy considering the cake was almost $300. read more

Went to a cake tasting here, service was good but given it was a cake tasting, there was not much service needed other than the consultation. The cafe itself seems to be variety of cupcakes and other desserts for purchase. In terms, of wedding cake tasting, flavor options were pretty average, nothing absolutely stood out for me. Cake batter and icing are more leaning on the sweeter side but the cake itself has great texture. read more

Wow - these were some of the best cupcakes I have had in a very long time! Super moist and not too pricey for the quality. I mean these really were seriously good, moist, delicious cupcakes! Like I can't stop thinking about them kind of good. I wish I lived closer. read more

I was at a birthday party and they had sweet treats bakery cupcakes. They were very good. In terms of flavor they were very sweet. I tried the gluten free cupcake and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Not sure about ambiance, service or pricing as I didn't order them or pick them up but I would definitely recommend trying the cupcakes. read more

The good is I found someone to make me Whoopie pies I ordered them like two weeks before Valentine's. I asked for some vanilla ones and I got chocolate with vanilla filling a little upset but she charged me $30 but when I went to go pick them up, she only charged me 15. I just recommend if you decide to go here and make sure that you understand and let them know what you want upfront and my friend didn't like them. He thought they was dry like they was made way before the due date. read more

We were in Austin this past Saturday and had some time before our lunch reservation. I was looking for a bakery with a variety of baked goods and this was the bakery on our way. The store had an upscale feel to it and even had a couple of rooms perhaps for consultation. It was quickly apparent that their specialty is making custom cakes. There were some cupcakes and a few baked goods. Seemed a little sparse before midday. We got to see one of the specialty cakes and it looked very well-decorated. We ended up buying a raspberry lemonade cupcake and a carrot cake cupcake and gifting them. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the lack of variety of baked goods that I was looking for. read more

Awesome place to get your special something done. My family has been playing Catan every Saturday since March as we bunker down from COVID. It has been an awesome bonding experience that everyone looks forward to. So, for the end of the year I decided to get cupcakes like a Catan board. I searched around and STB was the one that had the best responses, prompt attention and communicated with me all along. When it arrived, it looked more amazing than I could have ever imagined. All the details into it brought the game to life. They went way above and beyond with the attention to whimsical detail. Finally, it tasted GREAT. These weren't just show cupcakes, but the moist filling was professionally done. No one wanted to eat/dive into it and ruin the board, but once we did - everyone enjoyed it. Thanks to STB for helping our family have fun and joy together. read more

Cake was disappointing, the lack of flavor! I had a strawberry with chocolate filling and definitely lacked flavor and very dry not moist at all. Presentation almost made up for the lack of flavor and moisture were it not for the "ice shards" in the back, not what I expected. Cake was a 5" and for the price that I paid for wow, not ordering from here again. The only thing I would say was good was customer service. read more

Absolutely perfect. We are in Austin for a month and my boyfriends bday was coming up. During corona, it is hard to do much if anything, especially for celebrating special occasions, so I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a birthday cake. Did some quick Yelp research and called Sweet Treats. They were able to have a cake ready within four days and delivered in time ($20 delivery fee). The cake was perfect/exactly as ordered and DELICIOUS. We ordered a funfetti cake with cream cheese frosting inside and it was so good. We gobbled it up! From beginning to end, the process of ordering and receiving the cake was super simple and easy. Highly recommend ! read more

Sweet Treets Bakery is a lovely little business! We went in February Valentine's weekend to pick up some delicious cake balls, and ended up scooping up a to-go wedding cake tastings too. The flavors are all SO good and you can customize them anyway you want! We decided to book them for our wedding cake, because our quick pick up turned out to be a really great experience. Elizabeth the owner, was helping customers and she noticed we were waiting to the side for someone. When she finished up her transaction, she immediately came to us and asked how we were doing. We didn't even sign up for a consultation, but she was really gracious and showed us the sizing of the cakes; then explained all the flavors. No pressure to order, etc. After trying all the cakes we knew we had to go with Sweet Treets Bakery! Ordering was easy, you can place online and add all the inspiration images, as well as add the flavorings and layers you want. We ordered a 2 tier lemon cake with vanilla butter cream, and almond cake with vanilla buttercream, our guests raved about how yummy it was! Overall, we were so impressed and happy to have ordered from Sweet Treets Bakery! Thank you! read more

New York City prices in Austin, TX (And we're from NY lol) Two-pack Two and a half inch (tops!) chocolate chip cookies and an equally small Oreo cupcake for $5.75. The cookies were very very sweet (I like mine to taste more of brown sugar and butter but maybe that's personal preference) but they were perfectly chewy and chocolate was plentiful. The cupcake was good- sponge was moist and the buttercream tasty. Packaging was darling, the theme cakes on display looked spectacular and the worker behind the counter was friendly. If we were local, I'd use them for an event cake as this is likely their bread and butter and seem very good at that, but wouldn't frequent as my local small treat bakery. read more

The staff here is super sweet and helpful. My little girls and I arrived 15 minutes before the bakery closed and their case was still well stocked, which was nice. They have some really cute tables set up to eat I . The kids really enjoyed their cupcakes, I had a mini one, which was okay. The cookie I got was delicious and I'm looking forward to eating the apple crumble coffee muffin in the morning. I'll definitely be coming here often. read more

I picked up standard cupcakes here for my wedding (carrot cake, red velvet, and chocolate). I actually didn't end up having any, but they looked fine, everyone I talked to said they were tasty, and we didn't have many left over. So I guess that's all you would want from cupcakes! My only concern would be that they had me sign the same forms as for wedding cakes, and they seemed super over the top--pages of policies which basically meant signing away all your rights. I'm not sure I would have felt comfortable signing if I had done the whole big wedding cake thing. read more

Most importantly, the cake was DELICIOUS! We chose the strawberry champagne for the bride's cake and carrot cake for the groom's cake. When we did the tasting, honestly I would have been happy with any of the flavors, they were all SO good, but I was excited to go with the strawberry champagne because it's something a little different. Everyone raved about how yummy the cake was, and I can't wait for our one year anniversary so we can eat the top layer! :) I think this is the one wedding vendor that I can't even come up with a minor complaint about. They were super friendly, responsive, and patient. I gave them a photo of the lace of my wedding dress and they designed the piping from the photo. I wanted something elegant but simple, with room for the florist to decorate with flowers. They worked with me to get the design just right, and it came out beautifully. They delivered it safely. I never actually saw them deliver the cake, the coordinator organized it, but it was exactly where I wanted and how I wanted when I got my first peek at it. Thanks Sweet Treets! :) read more

We used Sweet Treats for our wedding cake. We had some positives for our experience but the actual cake fell short of our expectations. I'll break it down below. 1. Professional: Emails were always prompt and they do a good job about reminding you when deadlines are. 2. Tasting box: They give you 6 flavors for $25. All of the flavors were so freaking good and moist! We had a hard time deciding which flavor to go with! Ultimately, we chose red velvet with a cream cheese filling. *My maid of honor also ordered a white cake for my bachelorette party and it was also delicious! I was pleasantly surprised with how well it turned out. Given the excitement surrounding our experiences, my fiancé and I were so excited for our wedding day cake. I even dreamed about how delicious the cake would be so you can imagine the hype on our wedding day. My initial thought of biting into our wedding cake was that it was dry and stale. I knew this couldn't be the cake/cupcakes we had tasted, so I tried it again and nope - it was not as magical as I remember. I am no baker but I know a fresh, moist cake and that wasn't it. I was super disappointed because I was so excited for Sweet Treats and I LIVE for wedding cake - it's one of my favorite things to look forward to at weddings and the fact that it disappointed me at my own wedding bummed me out. For the price per serving, I expected more but oh well, you live and learn. read more

I was super upset. Although there online presentation was great , their in person customer service was appalling. 30 min sessions with no kind of personalized one on one. I was put into a room. Given a presentation on the cost. And then left to "taste" the cakes with no guidance. My fiancé was late. Which was ok. But I expected a little more guidance on flavors and more "chat" about how my $800 cake would be made. Instead they brought me a plate and said ... taste and let me know what you think. Bad customer service. Bad one one one. All around not a good experience. read more

Sweet Treets Bakery - Cakes look good. - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've ordered a few cakes here over the years and they have been amazing. I reached out recently about a cake for a baby shower I was throwing for my sister. In the past, the bakery helped me to finalize my design and come up with a cake that would fit my budget. This time, when I got ahold of someone they were not helpful and quoted me almost 4x what we paid for a similar cake a year and a half before. When I told them that price was more than anticipated and asked them to call me, my email was ignored. I called multiple times before getting someone on the phone and when I asked about the very high price when compared to what I paid in the past, I was finally told the bakery had switched management or ownership (it was a bit unclear) and previously the management had seriously undervalued their cakes. After a lengthy discussion I was told the best they could do was a cake that in my opinion looked miserable for a baby shower cake and it would still cost me 2x what I paid the prior year. After speaking with this bakery, it seems like the change in management or ownership has impacted their business and they no longer offer the customer service or standards of goods that they were known for, nor do they have reasonable prices. read more

I have ordered several times from Sweet Treets. The staff is remarkably friendly, the cakes are competitively priced, and they always outperform expectations. They also have THE BEST gluten free cake I have ever tasted. I know what you are thinking..."Oh, it's good for gluten free cake." NOOOOO. It's good FOR CAKE IN GENERAL. I served Sweet Treets' gluten free cake to people, and they had no idea it was gluten free. No joke...someone else brought a Milk Bar cake to the same event, and people unanimously agreed the Gluten Free Sweet Treets cake tasted better. What's my favorite? Thank you for asking. It's the Gluten Free Strawberry Champagne cake with vanilla buttercream that's mixed with Strawberry Preserves. It's like an adult strawberry shortcake. You won't be upset you ate this (unless you are allergic to strawberries or some other ingredient). You will even like their fondant. That's right. I said it. You will might even LOVE it. They make it in house...sweet, soft, not aggressive. In fact, I plan to end this review right now, so I can close my eyes and dream about the next time I'll be eating this exact cake. read more

We had an e-mail consult with Sean at Sweet Treets about desserts for our wedding. We had a couple pictures of a two-tiered cake that we liked but was open to having a bigger version of that, cupcakes or an array of different options. We set up a consult selecting some flavors we wanted to try for our cake. Sean was great and informative. He really helped guide us to what would be best for our budget and the amount of guests we had. We decided to do the strawberry champagne two-tiered cake and cupcakes. They were absolutely beautiful and delicious! Our guests enjoyed their dessert and we got more than one exclamation that this it was the best cake they've ever had! Our experience with Sweet Treets was always of professionalism and kindness. They made this part of our wedding so easy! We are so happy we chose them to cater our wedding desserts!! read more

This SWEET TREETS BAKERY - SUCKS! I ordered cupcakes from this bakery. After placing my order I called several times to verify no one answered the phones. Finally resulted in emailing them and they took several days to reply back. The Ops Director acknowledged my order and confirmed. The day of the order I show up and they could not find my order. They took ZERO responsibility/accountability and sited it was a Square issue. I will NEVER order from this bakery again. read more

I am not local but needed a custom cake for my mom's 70th birthday. I was super impressed with the call back after I filled out the online inquiry. I provided minimal requirements as I'm not artistic at all- just stated my mom is an avid gardener and loves all things floral, birdhouses, and arbors. The detail in this cake is beyond my wildest imagination and was PERFECT! Thank you so much for making my mom's birthday extra special!! read more

My fiance and I came here with high hopes for our very first wedding cake tasting. From the first moment we walked in, we felt the experience was odd. We were greeted briefly by staff, then waiting up in the big, cold, empty lobby for about 10 minutes. I was wearing a sweater, but still chilly, so asked if I could order a coffee or tea, but they do not serve drinks with their cakes. We were then asked to pay $15 for our experience and escorted to a private room. This small tasting room was cute and full of display cakes with different possible designs. It was still quite cold. A nice, younger girl then asked us to go through what we were looking for, clarify date, delivery options, amount of guests, etc. When she was finished, she left to grab our samples. She brought the samples to us, and we looked at her somewhat confused. There were four tiny, unfrosted cupcakes. One of each flavor we had recommended, as well as four, also tiny, little disposable cups with the different fillings we were permitted to try. Apparently it was a "build your own" cupcake experience. Not only was that odd as we weren't sure which flavors to put with which cake and how much, etc, but also the cakes were terrible! They all tasted stale and dry, except for the lemon cake. The chocolate cupcake crumbled apart when I tried to cut it in half. I am NOT exaggerating, people. All in all, it was a terrible experience, not good cake, AND we spent $15 for that. I wish I had taken a photo of the tiny cakes to show you! There are many other, better, bakers in Austin. read more

We used Sweet streets Bakery for our wedding cake and fruit tartlets and we had the best experience! I reached out through email and was able to make an appointment on a Saturday to taste test. You can try up to four flavors free! We fell in love with the Vanilla Citrus as it was simple for everyone to enjoy but also had a kick of citrus to spice up the flavor. Everyone is still raving about our cake! They said it was so moist and so flavorful, which is rare nowadays. Everyone has beautiful wedding cakes but when it comes to the actual cake, it is usually dry. Not our cake! For the design, I showed them a picture of what I wanted and had the florist leave extra flowers so they can place fresh flowers on the cake. I also wanted to add a small detail to the bottom tier which was a golden retriever peeking out of the cake. I sent Julia photos of our golden and I was so happy to see the final outcome!! We even saved the golden from our cake. My husband is not a big cake person, but he likes fruit tarts, so we were offered the idea of having fruit tartlets instead of a groom's cake. Those were also a hit!! Thank you so much Julia and the rest of the staff at Sweet Treets for making our wedding cake experience so memorable!! read more

Back up to five stars. We have been coming here for years and I have done a number of reviews. This is a place that changed hands, and stumbled for us at that time, but it is now on track. They even occasionally have the Lady's favorite, which is Mexican Chocolate Cake Balls. They do not have a large selection for walk-ins, but what they have is incredible. This is a place that focuses on quality, not quantity, and is often used for providing cakes for weddings and formal events. I picked up a couple of items for the Lady today as she had gone into shock from lack of chocolate the day before. As always, the staff was friendly, the place spotless. If you want volume for cheap, this is not a place that will satisfy. Want to go high end, you bet! read more

I'd give ten stars if I could. Sean and Lisa were amazing and provided EXACTLY what we were looking for on our wedding day. I have a gluten allergy, so finding a gluten free cake vendor was a challenge! Sweet Treets had no issue with my allergy and the cake was entirely gluten free without issue. I never once felt concerned about my cake being cross-contaminated - they put me completely at ease! They also worked with our theme (Pixar's Up) and brought our ideas to fruition. Nearly every guest told us how beautiful they thought the cake was! Oh, and the best part - most guests had NO idea the cake was GF!!! I've eaten a fair share of GF cake in my time and...yeah, most of it TASTES GF, and not in a good way. To finally have cake that was moist and fluffy and actually tasted like cake was one of the best wedding gifts a bride could ask for :) Thank you so much, Sweet Treets! You really made our day special!! read more

I always feel like a nuisance when I walk in here. They're not the most friendly or warm, and always make me feel like they've got better things to do than sell me a cupcake or two. For some reason, if I'm not a bride or about to drop $100+ on something, they don't wanna know me. Today I bought 2 cupcakes and the one I ate was stale. Y'all just be nice and make fresh cupcakes. read more

From the moment Sweet Treets people showed up with the wedding cake at the venue it started to collapse due to structural issues. How in the hell does a wedding cake company not know how to make a structurally sound wedding cake??? Then when they took the cake back to the bakery and returned to the venue, South Congress wayyy past the eta time. The cake was broken and damaged. I am guessing because they had to take it completely apart and add an absurd amount of reinforcement. Once they were back at South Congress it was realized that the groom's cake was left behind!!!! Not only were they already late with the wedding cake but then they had to go back to get the groom's cake they forgot at the bakery. This, therefore, caused our entrance into the reception space to be delayed so they could then install the groom's cake. Everyone was waiting for us to walk in and make out the entrance and instead the two women who showed up had to walk in and add the groom's cake. On top of everything, we were not able to do a cake cutting because there is so much structure in the cake it was impossible to take any kind of cut through the cake. I was hitting structural elements and was embarrassed to not be able to do any kind of cake cutting at my wedding. If this was not enough the bride's cake looked unfinished, poorly put together, broken flowers, areas where the frosting was completely missing. As a designer, I could not IMAGINE presenting a product like this to a person. LET ALONE THERE WEDDING!!!! To know that they have ruined an important part of my wedding will be something I never forget. South Congress Hotel and the wedding planning company let me know that they will be removing them from the preferred vendor's list due to the complete lack of professionalism. I had such high hope and obviously, I was completely wrong. I wrote an e-mail 3 days ago and have yet to hear anything back. To know that once they have the money nothing else matters. read more
