    AmaZing cake thank you :)! Our guest absolutely loved the flavors. We had such a great day.

    carrot cake
    Emily M.

    Got my dads birthday cake from here and it was sooooo good! it was definitely more on the pricey side but you get what you pay for- a top notch gourmet cake. Ordered a carrot cake with some custom lettering and she knocked it out of the park. the buttercream icing and cream cheese frosting were both unbelievable- the cream cheese frosting had like a pineapple taste to it. will definitely be getting more cakes from here in the future! i hear she makes vegan cakes too !

    Custom graduation cake $150
    Grace Y.

    I needed a custom two-tiered 3D graduation cake for my graduation recently and contacted several places in the Boston area for a quote, including The Sleepy Baker, Sweet Tooth, Yum Bunnies, and Danish Pastry House. We chose The Sleepy Baker for the relatively reasonable price, choice of flavors, and cake design (some places would only do one-tier or 2D. Liz at The Sleepy Baker quoted me $150 for a cake feeding 8 people. She went back and forth with me a few times over email to get all my requirements but was kind of hard to reach and at times I wasn't sure if we were on or off. I had no issues with pickup. The cake looked good from afar but up close had a lot of flaws and imperfections, and lacked finesse. Also I've had much better tasting carrot cake.

    Great communication with Liz. The cake was just as I requested ... look at my photos like how cute could this be! Covid distancing, will order from again! Also.. delicious !

    a wedding cake with a bride and groom

    A talented baker and a patient and kind human! Liz made our wedding cake for our April 2022 wedding, creating a beautiful and delicious three-tiered cake exactly to our design requests. What's more, she created one layer non-dairy to accommodate the groom's dairy allergy while making the other two tiers dairy (so that everyone doesn't have to eat non-dairy!). She met with us early and was always responsive when we had questions or new ideas in the lead up to the wedding. 10/10 would recommend and so glad and grateful that we found The Sleepy Baker.

    Who doesn't love a cupcake!…read more Maine Girl Cupcakes opened a very small storefront shop in Natick Center offering 100 signature cupcakes and custom made cakes by special order. Also, they have a limited amount of cupcakes for walk-in customers with around 12 kinds of cupcakes on hand, so they are open until they sell out on the weekend. The pricing (in 2022) for each signature cupcake is $5.50 each, $20 for 4, $27 for 6 and $48 for 12. I stopped by Maine Girl Cupcakes at opening time and there was a line crammed into the very small shop. I picked out 6 cupcakes to enjoy back at my home which is halfway to Maine, lol. I got: Orono Oreo (cookies-n-creme cupcake, cookies-n-creme buttercream, cookies-n-creme candy bar, chocolate covered Oreo) Camper (chocolate cupcake, marshmallow buttercream, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate drizzle, marshmallows ganache, miniature chocolate bar) Cozy Cocoa (chocolate cupcake, hot cocoa buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, marshmallow bits) Southern Belle (red velvet cupcake, cream cheese buttercream) Best Friend's Friend (chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, chocolate sprinkles) PB Party (chocolate cupcake with peanut butter buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, & mini PB cup). The texture of each cupcake was very moist and dense and buttercream frostings and toppings were sweet, but not too sweet. Just on the overwhelming demand for cupcakes, another customer suggested a bigger shop is definitely needed. Maine Girl Cupcakes are definitely wildly popular here in Metrowest!

    I do not give five stars lightly. I do not give them often. And I do not give them to…read moreestablishments that have merely tried hard and fallen short with charm. I give them only when something has, in the truest sense of the word, surprised me. In a world oversaturated with mediocre coffee shops and uninspired baked goods, Quebrada Baking Company stands apart, not merely as a café, but as an experience worth seeking out, returning to, and telling everyone you know about. Quebrada has surprised me. We begin with the iced coffee, because it demands to be addressed first. I have endured, over the course of a long and largely joyless life of coffee consumption, more iced coffee than any person should reasonably be subjected to watered-down, over-sweetened, catastrophically over-iced monuments to mediocrity. What Quebrada produces is something else entirely. The balance is immaculate smooth, bold, and refreshing in equal measure, with a depth of flavor that lingers in the best possible way. It is the finest iced coffee I have encountered. I do not expect to encounter better. Whatever craft goes into that cup, it is something to be protected. The baked goods are equally deserving of distinction. The banana bread and pumpkin bread, in particular, are a masterclass in what these classics are supposed to be. Moisture, in baked goods, is not an accident it is a consequence of discipline and intention. Each slice arrives perfectly moist not dense, not dry, but exactly right with a richness and warmth that suggests genuine care in every step of preparation. These are not afterthoughts set out under a glass dome to accompany a drink order. These are the reason to come. The space itself is worthy of note. Quebrada has cultivated an atmosphere that is at once refined and deeply welcoming the kind of environment that invites you to stay longer than you planned and leave more restored than when you arrived. The staff contribute enormously to this. Consistently kind, not performatively so, but in the quiet, assured way that indicates it is simply who they are. This, too, is rarer than it ought to be. What perhaps speaks most highly of Quebrada, however, is this: for the past six months, I have returned nearly every week alongside a close friend. It has become our standing ritual, our preferred backdrop for conversation and quiet alike. In that time, not a single visit has disappointed. There is a rare integrity to a place that earns your loyalty week after week without ever becoming complacent, and Quebrada has earned ours completely. I have come to understand that a visit to Quebrada does not merely accompany a good day, it creates one. There is something almost alchemical about it. A difficult morning becomes manageable. A quiet afternoon becomes something worth savoring. I have walked through that door weighed down and left feeling, without quite knowing how, lighter. That is not something a menu can account for. That is the result of a place built with genuine warmth and purpose. For the food that has never once let me down, and for the comfort that has carried me through more days than I can count. I am, sincerely and without reservation, grateful. Quebrada has given me more than coffee and bread. It has given me something to look forward to. There is no higher standard by which I measure an establishment than this: that it earns your return, again and again, without ever giving you reason to reconsider. Quebrada Baking Company has earned mine unconditionally.

    I'm back, again, to clarify. I wish I didn't have to leave a * to initiate a review but won't let…read moreme proceed without giving @ least 1 *. In response to Shironda W's (owner of Cupcake Therapy) she needs to take responsibility & update her forms or state the delivery policy under "Terms" on website. I was not aware (not stated on the website) the driver is not allowed to leave delivery with "random people" @ any hospital. When I instructed delivery be left with a specific floor (the cupcakes were for everyone working on that floor), I should have been contacted prior to delivery if a specific name of someone to accept delivery was required (I was not contacted). These cupcakes were not for a patient (certainly would be a very hungry patient) but for the nursing/administrative staff. Number listed on form was general number for Beth Israel Deaconess, yes, but again, if driver asked where Stoneman 5 was there would not be a problem. Again, read the information prior to delivery so driver can have any questions clarified & this problem could have been a non-issue & delivery could have been made on date & time it was promised. Clearly not the fault of the purchaser that there is a flaw in the design/content of the on-line order form. Having my contact number listed only under the billing that driver does not have, not my fault. Very easy to blame the customer (who will NEVER be a repeat customer) instead of taking responsibility for your mistake. Regarding not receiving a voice mail from me. I called when I saw an email (again no phone call) stating deliver was not made. Had you took the time to call me right after notified delivery could not be initiated, perhaps you would have done the right thing and returned that day with cupcakes while they were fresh. I called during business hours in hopes of speaking to a human being but no answer so left a VM. Very easy to put blame on customer & not take responsibility. Certainly makes me appreciate companies that do right when an issues arises. Do better for the next person!!!!!!

We tried the buttercream frosting and the cream cheese frosting. Buttercream frosting was a bit sweet, I preferred the cream cheese. We ordered for the day before the party and put the cupcakes in the fridge. Would recommend taking them out for about an hour so the frosting softens up. TBH the cupcakes were good for allergen friendly cupcakes but if you don't have any allergies then the cupcakes just don't compare to regular ones. I would consider ordering from them again if I needed allergen friendly cupcakes. Otherwise likely would not choose this bakery if I need regular old cupcakes. PS It is delivery only, no pick up option.
