Tasty treats!! Love the assortment of cookies, cupcakes, brownies & so much more. Creative flavors for everyone's tastes. Service is always friendly. My only complaint is the high usage of raspberries, I'm allergic. Would love to be able to try their tarts & some of the pastries that always seem to have them.

We've had mixed experiences here. Sometimes the baked goods seem fresh and delicious, and other times they seem like they may have been refrigerated for few days ( which is understandable). Overall the selection and quality are very good. Service is average to good. I've had the same employee be both very nice or somewhat indifferent, to both myself and others in line, for no apparent reason on different days.
Pricing is reasonable. Overall highly recommend.

If you're looking for a wedding cake and/or cupcakes, look no further than Cakewalk. They have a huge variety of flavors and all the ones my wife and I tried were delicious! But don't just take our word for it, several of our guests told us that they were the best cupcakes they had ever had. We highly recommend trying out Cakewalk for your wedding cake/cupcake needs.

Cupcakes look awesome, cake is moist and the toppings are good as well. I think way to much frosting for me though. I also thought a little spendy for 12 cup cakes but the kids were happy.

Teara and her team at Cakewalk were stellar to work with for our wedding cake! Truly the hardest part of the whole process was deciding which flavors to choose for our cake because they were all so good! Teara provided guidance in making decisions regarding how much would be needed to feed our guests, and how best to create the design we wanted for our three-tier cake. My husband and I were not at all upset to take home the leftover pieces at the end of the night!
