As someone with a sweet tooth, I enjoyed 2/4 sweets I got and didn't finish the rest…read more The coconut slice was nice and moist but doesn't stand out The strawberry cake pop was great (not shown) The tres leches confused me - it seemed grainy with some sugar in it. Looked great from the top though! The strawberry cupcake was okay - I liked the top a lot but the bread was dry so I didn't finish it The place has solid craftsmanship in baked goods for sure - but the creativity and unique ingredients are lacking. I know they can improve because if they put half as much effort into making the food look good into experimenting with the ingredients, they can shine a lot more. Overall the ambiance was very nice with the stunning chandeliers and the staff was friendly!

I stopped by here today to buy a few cupcakes for my husband (special celebration for him). He has…read morebeen to the Dallas location before and had mentioned the cupcakes are "huge" and "no way one person can finish one alone!" Well...sadly I think things have changed since he last had one of their cupcakes. I wouldn't call them "Texas sized" as their website mentions. I give them a 7/10 on presentation and a 5/10 on taste. I don't think they are good enough to cost $6 a cupcake so we probably won't be back, but was worth a shot.

The strawberry was okay it wasn't as moist as the black velvet not sure if I liked the icing on it either. Would like the icing more strawberry.

I was fortunate enough to have Aamina at Brilliant Cakes make my cake for 2 events - my Mayun and…read moremy wedding reception. Both times the cakes blew me (and our guests) away! For the mayun, we really wanted a cake that was shaped like a dhol. We contacted her just about a week before the event and she was able to work us in. The cake was so artistically done, and came out exactly how we wanted. So many people asked us where the cake was from - it really was quite the centerpiece. Not only was it beautiful, but it tasted wonderful. The texture was perfect! For my wedding cake, we had been considering some other vendors for cakes, but hadn't really been satisfied with the taste of their samples. My mom suggested we meet with Aamina. She was willing to meet with us just weeks before the wedding (thank goodness!!!) and had samples available for us. I really wanted something different, and she suggested mango/strawberry mousse cake. Because I lived out of town, I wouldn't be able to try the cake myself before the wedding. But the way she talked about it, I trusted her completely. I could tell that she wouldn't make a cake for a client until it met her standards for flavor, texture, appearance, etc. I appreciated that and would trust her to make anything, even unseen and un-tasted! She also makes sure she uses the highest quality ingredients. For example, she wouldn't use flowers from florists due to pesticides sprayed on the flowers. This isn't something I thought of, nor something any cake vendor I talked to mentioned. But after she said that, I totally agreed and appreciated her diligence to maintaining the highest quality and safety. We ended up having a dummy cake for practical purposes, and so she made our top tier cake rose pistachio flavored just for us, so we could try this unique flavor out. Aamina was also very easy to communicate with. Responsive, straightforward, and delivered the cake with no problem. I was really impressed with how it turned out - even better than I could have imagined. I had a white cake with white butterflies on it, and it fit with the décor perfectly. The butterflies stood out despite the white on white. I think she added something to give them a slight shine. In fact, I went back and looked at the inspiration picture we sent her, when writing this review and realized our cake looked even better (the butterflies were prettier)! Her prices are also reasonable. I got to have some cake the day after our wedding - and it was soo delicious. I'm not usually a cake person, but I had 3 slices of this cake! I still think about it sometimes... :)

We got so many compliments from our guests on the cake for both the design and the flavor. We chose a vanilla bean flavor with vanilla buttercream for the cake and confetti flavor with vanilla frosting for the cupcakes. We decided to keep the flavors simple for a toddler's birthday and these flavors were sooo good! I was so pleased with it! Francine had great communication too and was quick to respond and answer my questions. I plan on using Sugar Coated again for future events and am excited to try more of her cake flavors.
