Sweetness Desserts did our wedding cakes and they were phenomenal! They not only tasted amazing but looked beautiful! We had multiple guest tell us we had the best wedding cakes they had ever tasted. Laura and the staff at Sweetness were so great to work with and we recommend using them 1000 times over! Thank you, Sweetness Desserts - we love you!

Sweetness cupcakes, from my experience, are top notch. The presentation is great, they cake has the right balance of moisture, the flavors are amazing, and the frosting is sweet but not overpowering like other bakeries I've tried.

Cant recommend Sweetness Desserts enough! I ordered a baby shower cake and cupcakes in the Here Comes the Bride flavor, since it seemed like a simple flavor that most guests would enjoy. But I didnt realize just how much theyd enjoy it! The mother-to-be absolutely RAVED about how delicious the cake was and several guests said they were the best cupcakes theyve ever had. Laura and her staff did an amazing job and Im so grateful. Highly recommend Sweetness Desserts!

I received some cupcakes for my birthday! They were delicious but you can definitely tell they are made using a boxed cake. The icing flavors were so very delicious and Id definitely buy them again! Sometimes using a boxed cake is the easiest and tastiest way to go, just surprising.

Wow. These Sweetness Desserts cupcakes found their way to
my table in New Braunfels, thanks to
my niece who works there, Emily. Even a day after coming out of the oven they are delicious. If you have the privilege of going in person, you should!

So, I did my best to explain instructions on a custom cake I wanted via email. With sizing, color, etc. The cake on left is what I wanted a duplicate of, minus the brown icing color and no pecans on the top (wanted it changed to green like the carrot stem). The cake on the right is what was made for me... Don't get me wrong, it looks classy and elegant and fancy, but that's not really the cake I wanted to pay for because it wasn't what I was expecting. It tastes decent, the design just isn't what I specified for it was my only issue with it. Maybe it's because I do graphic design for a living
