We were traveling back from Neah Bay on my niece's birthday and realized we weren't going to make it in time to get her some birthday cupcakes. These amazing people offered to stay open long enough for us to get there. We got several different ones to try and loved them all. We got: champagne, supernova, carrot cake, piña colada, lemon blueberry with lemon curd filling, chocolate cherry , and regular vanilla. Everyone had a different favorite. Supernova is a variation of red velvet. The birthday girl loved it. Pros: amazing customer service, great variety, three different sizes! Brilliant Cons: vast variety so you gotta try them all! read more

This is a great place for a little cake. The minis are a perfect size. Lots of options to choose from and it definitely hits the spot. Been lucky so far with always getting a parking spot. read more

That Takes the Cake is amazing. 9 years ago, I contacted them about making a wedding cake and they absolutely delivered! Recently, we took a little trip to the peninsula and HAD to stop for some cupcakes. I'm pretty sure we hadn't been by since we took a trip over for tasting 9 years ago. The cupcakes still taste just as amazing as they did back then! The champagne flavor is what we went with for our cake and is absolutely delicious. I was also blown away by the coconut cream flavor. My husband really liked the churro cupcake and I have to agree. There are 3 different sizes of cupcakes so you can get a bunch of different flavors to try. Definitely stop by if you're in town! read more

What can you say bad about delicious cupcakes on a summer day? baking excellence. Gotta try if in town and have a sweet tooth.

Their cupcakes are divine! The best ever and I'm a cake lover. I'll definitely be back for more.

Wow! Just WOW! I didn't expect much when visiting this little town of Sequim, but we walked into this cupcake store and decided to try one of their little cupcakes. I've had the typical cupcake specialty store cupcakes and their good. But WOW! I tried their dark chocolate mouse filled cupcake and my husband had the carrot cake. I'm not lying this was the BEST carrot cake I've ever had in my life! Very moist and flavorful. The icing was perfect too. If ever in Sequim we will certainly be back. read more

Stopped in a little late in the day. Selection was still fairly good. Donuts were fresh and deff lish. Only bummer was gluten free had a additional charge and nothing showed this. Friendly staff. read more

HOLEY MOLEY - GO HERE!!! I LOVE cupcakes, I mean, I really love them. I have tried a lot of cupcakes all over the states, and this one beats them all, hands down. MOIST and dense cake. The frosting and filling was to DIE for. Not overly sugary or greasy. Just right. Flavors taste authentic and real to the description of the flavor. We tried 3 different flavors and all could not stop ooooohing and aaaaahing over them. Prices were good for the quality and size. They even had a buy 2 mini's get 1 free so you could try a few without breaking the bank. SUPER nice service. They genuinely appeared thankful for our business. Each employee said thank you as we left. If we are in Sequim again, this will be our first stop. YUMMMMMMMMMM. This place "took the cake" for the ending of our vacation. read more

Dry cake. And who doesn't put CREAM CHEESE frosting on red velvet and carrot cake? Disappointed as it's really the only walk in cake shop between sequim and port angeles. Plenty of home based bakers in the area who do absolutely beautiful work, and TASTY +MOIST read more

Please, please support this business. I wholeheartedly recommend That Takes the Cake. My mom's birthday was this past Monday with social distancing and stay at home orders, my mom was planning to be at home by herself. I wanted to send her cupcakes, so I looked online for cupcake delivery. That Takes the Cake came up. My mom and I are both cupcake snobs and would be hard pressed to buy "bakery cupcakes". But the photos online showed how pretty they are, so in a pinch...I called and spoke with Paul. He was so friendly and accommodating. I only ordered 4 cupcakes because it was just her, but he was happy to do it. Well, the cupcakes were a-ma-zing! The chocolate had a true homemade taste, with the flavor of cocoa. And the salted caramel banana was --well, it's salted caramel banana! So good, but the best thing was Paul's caring and concern when he made the delivery. He asked my mom if he could go to the market for her. I can't wait to come to Sequim and personally thank him. Oh, and try those cupcakes! read more

Not only do I get their cupcakes whenever I am in town, I also had them make my wedding cake which was amazing. I could list all my favorite cupcakes but they are all really good. Basically, the cupcake is light, fluffy and flavorful yet delicate (regardless of which flavor you choose) and the frosting is always super delicious. They have three sizes of cupcakes , huge, large and small. My parents and I will get several small cupcakes and share them so we can have a variety. Options change seasonally. The owners are super friendly and it's definitely a jem in Sequim :) read more

The most amazing cupcakes! Always delicious and fresh and so very helpful and patient when I come in and try to decide which ones I need for my events! read more

So yummy. We tried the strawberry cupcake with cream cheese frosting. It was so good. We ordered another to take for the next day

We were delightfully surprised to find a cupcake store during our vacay in the Olympic Peninsula! Even better? THEY HAVE THREE DIFFERENT SIZES OF THEIR CUPCAKES!!! This is the most brilliant idea I have experienced because I love cupcakes and sometimes, I just want to try all the flavors and with this place, I can!! Another plus, even the minis have the fillings that the regular and jumbo sizes have. Plus, the minis only cost between $1-1.25!!!!! Their prices in general were very reasonable, since I have seen specialty cupcakes sell for $7-10 at some snooty places. We bought four dozen mini cupcakes and a giant one (as a sweet surprise for my honey back home in Florida). -The red velvet has a cream cheese filling and buttercream icing on top- it is a delightful bite of heaven. -The vanilla filled with lemon curd and topped with buttercream icing was also very yummy. -The chocolate peanut butter was not that great and it had a chocolate mousse filling. They also had two really cute flavors: a root beer float and a Jack n' Coke for all you "adults" out there. The root beer one was super cute with a little pirouette cookie stuck in the icing on top, and my youngest sister declared that it was "nom nom nom". I definitely liked getting a variety of flavors to try instead of having to commit to one large cupcake and potentially not being satisfied (and feeling a whole lot more guilty) with my selection. Two Pointers I have for the owners: 1. More merchandizing! The people you attract with this store tend to be of the female persuasion and that means that cute gifts and novelties will definitely sell. You should offer not just t-shirts (because they can be really unflattering), but also tank tops which are super popular. In addition, having cute little canvas bags with your logo would not only be a best seller, but would essentially be advertising that can be used again and again. 2. If you're going to offer "sprinkle shots", you definitely need to also offer icing shots so people can have little 75 cent samples of your yummy frosting! So if you are in the area, definitely indulge your sweet tooth at this cupcake heaven cause the desserts are just as sweet as the price! read more

Bought a dozen of the mini cupcakes. Yum! Each one a delicious different flavor, moist with a nice crumb and just enough frosting to not overwhelm. Chili mango, mojito and champagne flavors were the first ones we have tried and were great! read more

CUPCAKES! While some say they're on their way out I disagree. These guys have it right! Three sizes to choose from in each flavor. Small (silver dollar sized) regular and jumbo! All frosted and topped with goodies and typically with a little treat in the center to match the frosting or accent the total flavor. They also do cakes and if fact baked the cake for the wedding of some friends. He was very friendly and answered all our questions (even the stupid ones) and we left with a dozen minis and a couple jumbos. My jumbo was Maple bacon and was pretty fantastic... the minis I tried were red velvet (Great) and triple chocolate (good but not great). A pleasant experience and tasty treats. Only open Sundays during the summer. read more

We stumbled into this cute mom and pop shop on the main drag of the tiny town of Sequim. We entered with low expectations and left totally blown away. The cupcakes were sublime. We even made audible moans from the flavors of the coconut and the carrot cupcakes. Can't wait to try more. There should be a line out the door. read more

Oh wow! such yummy cupcakes; 3 sizes and multiple flavors all baked right there by the owners - fresh, cheerful service; not to be missed! -- Yummy frosting and cake all made with loving care. read more

I wish I could give 100 stars! We contacted Sue at That Takes the Cake less than 2 weeks before our wedding and were so thrilled that she was able to help us on such short notice. My husband and I met with Sue for a tasting/consultation and it was, by far, the most fun we had during our entire "wedding planning" process! I wish I could do it again! Sue has been doing cakes for over 29 years and she was SUPER helpful and not pushy. We didn't have a specific vision so we trusted her expertise and advice to come up with a design. We felt extremely confident in her because, even meeting her briefly, you can tell she is very passionate about cake! Every single flavor we tasted was outstanding. I'm not a huge fan of cupcakes but I wish I lived close enough to eat there every day! Sue delivered and setup our dessert table and it looked amazing. We ended up picking 5 different flavors (cake and cupcakes) and everything was TO DIE FOR delicious!!! Best part of the night for sure. Guests were RAVING about the flavors. I only wish we would have bought MORE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BAKER!!! read more

We LOVE the cupcakes...we come every time we are in town. There's nothing better than strolling down the cutest part of Sequim downtown and enjoying the tastiest sweets and the hospitality offered by the crew. Nothing frozen, all real quality ingredients, crazy delicious flavors, and all baked fresh! Frankly, life is too short for mediocre cupcakes...their treats are HEAVENLY !!! read more

Super good cakes in so many different flavors. Fresh. Love their mini cupcakes. Owners are so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend it to everyone. read more

The. Best. Cake. And. Cupcakes. Ever. Sue and Paul did a special order cycling themed cake for wife's surprise 50th birthday. The cake theme was Mt. Ventoux in France, a famous stage in the Tour de France. Sue took the time to research Mt. Ventoux online and used that to create a stunning cake right down to trees and lavender. Awesome folks and equally awesome cake. Three different flavors: Lemon, Carrot and Dolcetto Red Wine Chocolate. Thanks, Sue and Paul. It was a pleasure to do business with you! read more

We stumbled upon this jewel of a bakery when we traveled to the area. The cupcakes were so amazingly delicious! There were so many interesting flavors, like lavender peach and tiramisu. They were moist and tasted fresh from the oven. Even though we were staying a half hour away, I had to go back for more! I am a cake snob, and I will be dreaming of these cupcakes until we come back again. read more

Really cute place, great cupcakes and would recommend coming back again. The service was friendly and there was a good array of choices. The kids loved the cupcakes and finished the dozen pretty quick. read more

I feel that these cupcakes are way overpriced. They are not anything special. Tastes like boxed cake. They are small and for $3.50 a piece way too expensive. For that price they should be muffin sized. There is so much icing that it almost falls off the you take the paper off. If you want a little fancier one expect to pay $4.00 each. Staff is very friendly and the shop is very clean. Just way too expensive. read more

Hands down the best cupcake I've ever had. I will be back and it's a 90 min drive one way to do it. I want this for my birthday. I want this for everyone I love birthdays who I can participate in this cupcake perfection with. I will bring you a cupcake for your birthday if you share with it me. We will be new happy cupcake eating friends and the world will be better for our indulgence. Hurry! Go! NOW!!! read more

Super yummy flavors, all with filling! Lots of variety of flavors and sizes. Slightly expensive but cupcakes are always worth it

We were lucky enough to win That Takes The Cake cupcakes at the Kitsap Wedding show. That and all the cake samples Susan, the owner, let us try made for an easy sell for choosing them to make our wedding cake. She was able to fashion just the type of cake we wanted and that tasted great too! So many wedding cakes are tasteless from the beginning--just covered in fondant--not the case here. She was also totally on board when we asked if we could make an addition the week of, very flexible. We plan on asking them to make us an anniversary cake! read more

We order cupcakes for all our special events and sometimes just because. This business is family owned and they are kind and wonderful. They also have gluten-free options and will package separately if you ask. It's also so dang clean you could eat off the floor in the lobby. read more

So happy I came to them for my sons birthday cake. He had been talking about this cake and knew exactly what he wanted and designed it himself. I was nervous how it would turn out but it was exactly what we were picturing!! He loved it. Also, everyone at the party loved the TASTE of the cake too! Delicious. read more

We love their cupcakes! Too many good ones to actually pick a favorite. The owners are always very nice and helpful.

We had wonderful hazelnut with Bavarian cream cupcakes today. What a wonderful treat.

I've gone here a couple times for cupcakes only. So for this review, I'm speaking only for the cupcakes. To start off, moistness should be the number one priority when making a cupcake, or any cake for that matter. I was a bit disappointed to find that the cupcakes were very dry, and not fluffy like they should be. I'm not sure if it's because they're not fresh (which they should be), or if it has to do with the actual baking (too high temps, improper ingredient ratio, etc). Either way, it's way off and seeing as how this local business specializes in cupcakes and cakes, this is a key factor. The prices are also a bit high, but since it's the only speciality Cupcake/Cake shop in the area, I can understand. As much as I try to like this place, they need a lot of work - just like many of the other restaurants/food business in Sequim. You're better off making your own cupcakes/cakes at a much lower price at home. read more

We happened upon this little cupcake shop while walking around town with my daughter and niece, and figured we'd have to stop in for just a taste. With our luck, it was Tuesday -- buy 2 mini cupcakes, get one free -- so, we got six! They were all unique, flavorful and beautiful, but my absolute favorite was the carrot cake w/ cream cheese frosting, red velvet cupcake, Strawberry Short Cake, and peanut butter. The Neopolitan and Oreo were pretty good, too, but a little sweet for me. Definitely a new Sequim tradition! read more

Shady pricing. No where does it say that gluten free are more and just because the "signature" sign fell, you can't say that it is labeled correctly. Then when I pointed that out, the lady helping me said I was rude. Pointing out that there are errors in your signs is not rude. Shady pricing and advertising is rude and inconsiderate. To top it off, these might be the best that this little town has to offer but in comparison to many of their cupcakes I have eaten I would say their cupcakes are average and way overpriced. Spend your money on the lavender in this town not the cupcakes. read more

The MOST amazing cupcakes we've ever found! Try them! We went in only expecting to get a couple of cupcakes but after trying a sample and seeing the flavors that they had that day, we ended up with something closer to 10 by the time we left. :) Each of the flavors is made in 3 different sizes (mini, regular, and a jumbo). The owner mentioned that they have something like 300+ flavors that they rotate with different ones available on any given day. I was pleased that they had a decent selection to choose from even later in the day. The cupcakes themselves are light, moist and flavorful but its the frosting that can make or break a cupcake. EVERY single flavor that we tried had amazing frosting! It is light, creamy and fluffy but most importantly, it is not overwhelmingly sweet! The real flavor of the frosting comes through clearly. They have really nailed the perfect balance of flavor and sweetness in every bite. They also do cakes and take special orders for things like weddings as well. As I mentioned, we have tried probably a dozen or more flavors and every one of them was fantastic, but I have a few personal favorites. The Carrot Cake was incredible: Delicious, moist and flavorful cake with a perfectly balanced cream cheese frosting. We got more of these the second day! Banana Caramel: This was the sample that we got to try in-store. It has a perfect banana flavor (not artificial at all) and the caramel and frosting was ideal. The cupcakes we had were so delicious that we made it a point to come back the very next day before leaving town to try even more flavors! This place will now be a "must stop" for us any time we are in the area! read more
