We used Area 51 for our wedding cake and they didn’t disappoint! They have the best tasting cupcakes we’ve ever had. There was not one flavor we did not like! We set up a tasting with Jill and she was so helpful throughout the entire process. We ended up ordering a custom ~9” strawberry heart cake, super simple, but packed with flavor! We just looked through their amazing instagram profile and found cake designs that we liked and it worked out perfectly. We dressed it up with a basic Mr & Mrs cake topper and to add a little flare, had a mini replica of our one eyed Pitbull made so she could be a part of our big day too! We would recommend Area 51 to anyone (they also have great strawberry cheesecake🤤). Thank you Area 51 for making our wedding day so sweet
We have always loved Area 51 cupcakes and knew they would be perfect for our wedding. We chose so many good flavors of mini cupcakes, brookies and sugar cookies. The setup was gorgeous. Everything tasted delicious. The mini cupcakes were perfect. Allowed people to take a few flavors. They were great to work with. Handled all the details well. Even worked with me to add extra support into our cake to hold our cake topper. They were a hit!
Not only were our cupcakes amazing and our cake beautiful, Jill and her team are phenomenal to work with. We did mini cupcakes for our guests and a small cutting cake for the tradition of it. Our guests absolutely loved the cupcakes (especially the kids), and we love going to Area 51 for a quick treat every now and then now.
Any questions?
YUM!!! Jill is amazing to work with!! First we tried their everyday mini cakes- those were yummy, but we scraped that. We ended up getting their special fall flavors (5 different flavors, 2doz each) and a 6in cake for us (bride and groom). The cake was phenomenal!! We split the design, half formal, half decorated for Thor (dedicated to our dog) and it’s so tasty! I couldn’t be happier with our choices! Our guest loved the fall flavor cakes!
Ever since I had one of their cupcakes, I knew this place would be the perfect place to get my wedding cake from. Jill and her husband Robert have been amazing through the whole process of getting things together. The results were perfection!!!
Our Wedding cake was so beautiful and tasted amazing! Everyone loved the cupcakes!
They come Highly Recommended from me!!
This bakery was so easy to work with! Jill helped us decide on the perfect amount of mini cupcakes we would need for our wedding. She was honest and wasn't trying to oversell to us. The cake and cupcakes were all so delicious! We had no leftovers at the end of our reception! We even got a free dozen of cupcakes since we spent a certain amount of money. Highly recommend this place and their mini cupcakes!
Smallcakes made ordering a small cutting cake and mini-cupcakes for our wedding day so fun and easy! They did a great job and the cupcakes arrived looking and tasting as delicious as ever. I'm only disappointed there weren't more leftover cupcakes for me to take home at the end of the night. Would highly recommend the folks at this location. Thank you for your help in making our wedding cake and cupcakes!
I highly recommend using Smallcakes for your wedding! Jill and her team were friendly and made sure everything was perfect for our day. They were quick to answer questions and made the process so easy. We knew we wanted cupcakes at our reception and we have not stopped receiving compliments since our July date. Everyone loved that there were many delicious flavors to choose from and that we had a gluten free option as well. About a week before our wedding, my husband said that he also wanted us to have a small cake for us to cut for pictures and for our head table. Jill accommodated this request and designed the cake to look exactly how we wanted. The price for delivery, set up, cupcakes, and our small wedding cake was super reasonable. With everything combined, it was still significantly less expensive than if we would have chosen to have dessert provided from our reception venue. We also had a mix up and forgot to grab the cupcake stand that we had borrowed from Smallcakes at the end of our reception. Not only did Jill assure me that it was okay, but she offered to pick up the stand at our venue. We cannot recommend Smallcakes enough!
Smallcakes was so helpful and easy going with our entire ordering process. They created a very special shag cake for us and we could not have loved it more! the best part is Smallcakes made the entire experience completely customizable and the staff we encountered was so lovely. Oh, and everything was delicious. thank you!
The most delicious cake! Smallcakes made the exact cake I wanted from a photo I shared with them. Their attention to the detail was great. The cake was so buttery and delicious, it looked so chic and elegant as I wanted. We were a bit worried about traveling with the cake but they offered to make a replacement cake if anything happened with the cake which gave us so much relief(nothing happened as it was a solid cake)
This cake made our night more special:)
Loved our adorable cupcake display at our wedding! Working with Jill was amazing ~ very easy-going and took a lot of care in making sure everything looked beautiful and tasted delicious for our special day! The only challenge was choosing our favorite flavors because I kid you not, every cupcake we tasted at our initial meeting was TOO GOOD. Would highly recommend!!
It’s been two weeks since our wedding and people are still talking about how good our cupcakes were! Seriously, some of the best cupcakes! Jill and her team are so sweet and so attentive! They do quality work and we were so lucky to have them apart of our wedding team!
I knew we liked Smallcakes for their cupcakes, but their wedding cake was amazing! Typically you'd go to a bakery and try a couple samples. Due to COVID we picked up a box of their mini cupcakes in all their flavors! It was wonderful and a safer way to make our decision (which... ended up being Wedding Cake flavor, haha. Don't knock it until you try it, it was a crowd pleaser).
I was in direct contact with the wedding baker at all times. The cake turned out wonderful. They also were able to deliver the cake to my venue. All of this was done over email and then paid over the phone, which is a time-saver.
My guests were raving about the cake after dessert. I would definitely use them again for another specialty cake or even just cupcakes for an event!
They did such a wonderful job with the order, the communication was great, and everyone loved the cake and cupcakes!
Smallcakes of Naperville did a great job with our wedding desserts and they were delicious! Jill helped us every step of the way and was so helpful! Would definitely recommend!
I highly recommend Smallcakes for your next event! I have been working with Smallcakes for about a year due to having to postpone our wedding because of COVID-19 and they have been wonderful! I worked with Jill and she was awesome! She worked with me through the reschedule and was so patient! I told her our vision for our wedding cake and she executed exactly what we wanted. She provided the cake display for our mini cupcakes and 8 inch cake. She made everything easy and I didn’t have to stress one bit about this part of my wedding!! And lets not forget to mention that their cake and cupcakes are absolutely delicious!!! So many flavor options too! Our tasting was amazing and they were so generous with what they provided for us. My groom and I knew we wanted the Caramel Crunch cake and Smallcakes made it just look perfect!
I can’t wait to enjoy more cupcakes and to work with Jill again in the future. I hope everyone books them for their event. They create a beautiful display and even more importantly, they bake the most delicious cakes!!
Jill was absolutely wonderful to work with, the cupcakes were delicious and everything looked amazing! So glad we chose to work with them for our wedding!
The wedding cake we chose to get from Smallcakes was perfect! Jill made the process easy, provided plenty of mini cupcakes to taste so we knew exactly what we wanted, and listened to my vision so that the cake we had on our wedding day was beautiful! All around great experience and highly recommend to anyone!
We had gone to 6 other tastings before we went to Smallcakes, and when we went we wished we had gone sooner! They give you an assortment of 2 dozen mini cupcakes to try (all AMAZING). We went with a traditional wedding flavor 3 tiered cake and an assortment of cupcakes. We had so many compliments on how good it was, and even heard from a couple people that it was the best wedding cake that they’ve had! They are super sweet here and the cake was everything we had hoped for!
One of the best and easiest decisions was making sure I got sweets from Smallcakes! my family and friends and everyone I know have been huge fans of them so it was a no brainer. Jill & Bre are absolutely incredible to work with! I had a sit down meeting with Bre to go over the final details-mind you this was two weeks before.. welllllll we added a 4 tier cake that day too! Everyone was so accommodating & excited for us! The cupcakes and the cake were a huge hit! I barely had any left because people were going up for 2nd and 3rd helpings!
Thank you smallcakes, Jill, & Bre for helping to make our magical day even sweeter♥️
So happy we chose Smallcakes in Naperville to provide the cake and mini cupcakes for our wedding! Jill is so sweet and so easy to work with - she made the process so easy and stress-free. The cakes/cupcakes were not only BEAUTIFUL, but so delicious - our guests loved them. Everything was made fresh the morning of our wedding which is amazing!! Nothing frozen or pre-made like some other wedding bakeries :) Definitely recommend!
Jill was excellent! Service was incredible, timely, and delivery was seamless. The cupcakes were delicious and guests raved about them! They were also very accommodating for special requests & dietary restrictions. Thank you for helping make our wedding perfect!
Smallcakes is the BEST! We worked with Jill at the Naperville location, and she was absolutely great with everything. They are liberal with the amount of flavors you get to choose, which is nice so you can have a wide variety for your guests. Our guests LOVED the cupcakes. Smallcakes makes them fresh the day of the event, so they are delicious! They also have stands available which was super convenient. We could not be happier with our experience!
So happy we chose Smallcakes for our dessert at our wedding! Their cupcakes were to die for!! Our guests would not stop raving about them. Jill and the Smallcakes team were also really accommodating and fun to work with during our planning process! My husband and I highly recommend them!
I loved my cake! And the guests loved the cupcakes! Smallcakes and Jill are awesome. Jill was with me every step of the way. She was patient with my slow response and understood the stress I was under between planning a wedding and working crazy hours. Jill made this part of it easy and I knew that I didn't”t need to worry about this part of the planning.
We have made Smallcakes of Naperville our new go to bakery. Even the dogs get to enjoy a treat from there! Everyone is warm and friendly and helpful- like the neighborhood bakery of my childhood ;).
We just wanted a small two tier cake at our wedding for cutting. Small cakes was great to work with and very reasonable compared to other vendors we looked at! The cake was very cute and delicious!!!
OMG! SmallCakes is MOST definitely the way to go if you're looking for a special treat on your wedding day! Jill was so sweet during the entire process and made planning/execution near effortless. :) We received so many compliments on this delicious added treat from our friends and family... you'd be crazy not to go with them!
We decided to go with mini cupcakes for our reception and they did not disappoint. The cupcakes turned out amazing and were the talk of the reception. We also went with a single tier cake for the bride and groom and that was equally delicious and beautiful. Jill was amazing throughout the whole process. If you're on the fence about cupcakes at your reception, don't be and look no further than smallcakes in Naperville.
Smallcakes made our wedding just perfect. Working with Jill was great! She made everything easy. Our guests loved the cupcakes. I should have ordered more! If you choose Smallcakes, you won't be disappointed, just delighted!!
Our wedding cake and cupcakes were so pretty and amazing!!! Everyone at our wedding were saying how tasty the cupcakes were. Love this place!
We had very few issues with Smallcakes during our wedding day and the months leading up to. Everyone at our reception raved about how good the cupcakes were, and they looked great too. The only hitch was the our cake topper didn't end up looking exactly how we wanted it to. I tried to be as explicit as I could with the details in emails and over the phone, but it just wasn't understood very well. We ended up with a rather bland cake topper the day of. But since that was the ONLY issue we had with them, it's hard to knock them down from 5 stars!
Smallcakes was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We got SO many compliments on the cupcakes. They looked almost as good as they tasted. Also, they were a pleasure to deal with... very responsive and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend!
Smallcakes cupcakes were amazing. Everyone commented on how good they were. I even took the extras to work a couple days later and they were still fresh! The staff were great and the delivery fee was reasonable. We would order them again in a heart beat!
We used Smallcakes Naperville for our wedding and they were amazing! We had them do a smaller cake for us and then they made cupcakes as favors for our guests. Our cake turned out even better than expected and they helped so much with making our cupcake favors come to life. We created our own boxes and they were kind enough to put them in the boxes for us to make sure they were all secure, and deliver everything seamless on the day of. Not only are my fiancé and I huge fans of Smallcakes for how delicious their cupcakes are, we are so impressed with how smoothly it went working with them for our wedding. Would recommend over and over again!
Everything was great. Jill helped us through the whole process. All the cupcakes were so good, they were definitely a hit.
Smallcakes was perfect for our wedding! We did the mini cupcakes instead of serving everyone a piece of cake and they went over amazingly with our guests! Everyone commented on how great they tasted and the staff was very helpful along the way.
We wanted to have a fun and unique style for our wedding and choosing Smallcakes to cater was the perfect pick. They worked with us every step of the way and went above and beyond to find the perfect flavors and stands to make our vision come through. It is clear the the owners and staff are passionate about their shop and they absolutely gave us the care and attention that helped make our night a huge success. We highly recommend having cupcakes at your wedding and Smallcakes is the ONLY place to do it. You can just go there and have a cupcake too. Whether it's a wedding or a Wednesday you won't be disappointed.
We loved our cupcakes from Smallcakes! They have so many fabulous flavors to choose from - it's a fun process. We ended up getting a cake for the sake of having a cake to cut, as well as a ton of mini cupcakes for the guests. Very cute, fun, and delicious. They were a huge hit!! Everyone was easy to work with as well.
I loved our cakes and cupcakes! Thank you so much Smallcakes for being so accommodating and for doing such a wonderful job! Your cupcakes are delicious and were a hit with my friends and family!
Smallcakes of Naperville was amazing to work with! They made the process so easy!! All communication was done via email and was effortless. They gave us samplers so we could try the different flavors and decide which ones we wanted to go with! They did everything for us, from setting everything up and making it look beautiful to picking up the cake stand which was very helpful the day after the wedding (our venue was in naperville which made it convenient). Everyone raved about how good the cupcakes were! We are so very happy with our decision to use Smallcakes!
When we inquired about having a cake from Smallcakes we received a variety of 2 dozen mini cupcake to sample. All the cupcakes were delicious and we decided to order a 6 inch cake (wedding cake flavor of course) for our wedding. The staff was extremely helpful with the ordering and design process. The cake was perfect for our day. I would definitely recommend this bakery for any wedding as well as just a cupcake.
Jill was extremely helpful and very prompt on responding to emails! She went out of her way to give me everything I wanted, down to buying a different color cupcake liner because I didn’t want the ones they usually use. They also offer hundreds of flavors! They were able to give me everything I wanted to a T. Guests loved them, nothing but compliments and people wanting to take them home! Would recommend again and again!
From the tasting to the venue delivery, no problems.
Professional and quick to respond to all emails.
Cake was delicious. EVERYONE asked where we got our cake from.
We opted for mini cupcakes (regular & GF) at our wedding reception and they turned out amazing! Jill was very responsive and great to work with throughout the whole process. The cupcakes were delivered timely and displayed beautifully. Our guests loved having all of the different flavors...we received compliments on all of them!
Amazing! Got me in last minute, took care of me with a severe nut allergy, and the cake was absolutely gorgeous. Delicious, too. Thank you!!!
Smallcakes made a wedding cake for us and it was exceptional. It looked just like the ones you see on Pinterest. I cannot compliment them enough on the presentation. It was also DELICIOUS!!
We also ordered mini cupcakes for the sweets table. I can say that we had extra candy, cookies and pastries left...and NO CUPCAKES. Everyone ate them all.
We will continue to use Smallcakes to cater family events but if you are looking for a little something sweet for your big day look no further.
Jill and her team at Smallcakes are amazing! We received so many compliments on our cupcakes from our guests, and for good reason, they were delicious!! We chose three flavors of cupcakes as our dessert and had a small, simple cake made that we used for the ceremonial cutting. Tasting so many different cupcake flavors was one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning process for sure! We received a sampler of mini cupcakes to taste their popular flavors, then we made a few trips to taste some of the seasonal flavors. We had the fall pumpkin ale that was the absolute best and was a hit at the wedding! Can't wait to have another Smallcakes cupcake soon! :)
We used Smallcakes for our wedding and are so glad that we did! The cupcakes are absolutely phenomenal and our guests loved them!!
Smallcakes was amazing to work with! We loved their cupcakes before deciding them for our wedding but knew it was a perfect alternative from a regular wedding cake. We did a small cake for us to cut and did 4 different flavored cupcakes for our guests. They did set-up and delivery for us and everything looked great! They were a huge hit with our guests as well and everyone loved them!
Smallcakes was a great company to work with from start to finish for our wedding. To start they provided us with a complimentary wedding sampler of mini cupcakes. We were able to taste multiple different flavors and even had enough to share with our families. It made choosing the flavors so fun! Jill was so great to work with and promptly answered all of my emails. Reasonable prices.
The day of our wedding set up was absolutely beautiful. They even accommodated my gluten free guests for no extra charge and made sure everything was served separately so there was no cross contamination.
I would recommend Smallcakes to any bride and will definitely return for more cupcakes!
We could not have been happier with choosing Smallcakes for our wedding. We live right around the corner from their shop but actually have never heard of them until doing some research on the The Knot. We were interested in doing something different than the usual sheet cake for our wedding guests. After having been to several weddings and realizing most of the time guests don't want and or need a huge slice of cake after filling up on food. We thought how perfect would it be to have mini cupcakes in a variety of flavors? We tried a sampler box and were instantly sold! We also had Smallcakes provide us with an 8 in cake just for us on the wedding day. Jill was such a pleasure to work with. She answered all of our questions and saw our vision for the design of the wedding cake. It turned out beautifully, and the guests loved the cupcakes! I highly recommend Smallcakes for any event you're planning.
When we were planning our wedding, I had one requirement: must have cupcakes. And my fiancé had one sub-requirement: must have wedding almond cake. When we sampled the cupcakes from Smallcakes, they checked both our boxes! We ended up going with a small cutting cake for ourselves and mini cupcakes for our guests. Jill was so sweet to work with (no pun intended) and everything tasted and was set up to look amazing. Would definitely recommend couples in the west suburbs to get their cupcakes from smallcakes!
Smallcakes did such an amazing job. Ever since I was a little girl, I imagined cupcakes at my wedding. Years later, I couldn't believe that Jill and her team took my vision of a cupcake tower and turned it into a reality. My guests loved the unique and rich flavors of the cupcakes. Thank you!
I have been ordering from them for quite a few years now so it only made sense for them to make my wedding cake and cupcakes! The oweners went above and beyond to make sure they were even set up having many other weddings that day! I will be having a very big ceremony next summer and once again can not wait to have their cake and cupcakes as the center piece! Nothing but amazing compliments and every person asking where and how many they could take home! Thank you again you guys are wonderful!
Smallcakes was amazing to work with for our wedding. We had mini cupcakes (27 dozen!) and were able to customize the flavors for that amount however we wanted. They even made some custom flavors for us! Every guest loved them! Highly recommend working with Smallcakes!!
Beautiful cupcakes and cake, it looked amazing at our wedding at the Oakbrook Bath and Tennis Club on 6/3/17.
The process of ordering for your wedding is as easy as can be, which was refreshing after making multiple decisions on everything else! This is one of the main reasons I was so happy with my decision to go with smallcakes. Sure- you can find another cupcake store with good cupcakes but when you are planning a wedding it's a big deal if a vendor can make the process simple and stress free. Jill (the manager) made me feel at ease, she got back to me sometimes within hours with any question I had. (I didn't even get that from my main catering contact!) That was great.
We got to sample almost all the cupcakes (the mini ones) but ultimately went with the wedding cake cupcakes and a matching small wedding cake to cut on the top of the cupcake stand they have. It looked adorable (check out their Instagram, they do plenty of wedding setups and you can get some great ideas of what they can do for you). Every time we sampled their cupcakes they were always very good! Not to mention the regular size cupcakes are big, they are equal to the size of a small piece of cake. The guest loved it and I thought it just looked adorable. It costs the about same as a regular wedding cake though, so if you think cupcakes would be cheaper (I originally did) that's not the case. All and all, I highly recommend using smallcakes Naperville!
Loved the work small cakes did! Everyone loved the cupcakes they set everything up perfect! Jill was such an awesome person to work with! Definitely would recommend!!!
Jill and her husband were such a pleasure to work with, so accommodating and professional!! The cupcakes and cake were just PERFECT! Everyone COMPLIMENTED how amazing the cake was! We cannot wait to have another event that we get to purchase a cake for and go back to Smallcakes Cupcakery! Absolutly everything we could have wanted for our wedding! Thank you for making it so easy and delicious!!!
Smallcakes has the best customer service and passionate staff. They really want to make your day special. From our first sampling of cupcakes we were sold and knew we had to have them at our wedding. Highly recommend!!
Smallcakes is one of my favorite cupcakeries and I knew I wanted to include their mini cupcakes for my wedding. My now husband also fell in love with their cupcakes and cupcake shakes when I introduced them to him. Jill Watson was so friendly, accommodating and helpful with planning the cupcakes and cake. She even was able to provide gluten free cupcakes! The cake decorator even made our wedding cake look so beautiful with my left over silk flowers! And all of our guests loved the flavors we chose! Thank you Jill and Robert for everything and even coming to set up the cupcakes yourself! You will always be our go-to cupcakery!
Seriously cannot thank Small Cakes enough.. They were absolutely amazing. This was the one vendor I never worried a bit over - from the moment I contacted them they were nothing but helpful and beyond sweet-no pun intended.
Again, thank you guys so much for everything and your truly made my dream cake come to life-I mean who else can say they had a cookie dough cake?!
I must say - this really was one thing everyoneeeeeee talked about and raved over - I'll be back for my daughter birthday cake!!
Wonderful experience will smallcakes from start to finish. They were so helpful throughout the entire process and their set up looked amazing. Not to mention how tasty their cakes and cupcakes are. Would recommend smallcakes to anyone!
Loved small cakes! They were very flexible, communicated often and open to new ideas! Not to mention the best cupcakes and cake ever
We used Smallcakes for 300 mini cupcakes along with an 8" topper cake. They did a great job setting up and everything tasted great.
Everyone loved the mini cup cakes at our wedding. It was nice to have multiple flavors and the price was perfect! Its hard to see wasted cake at weddings so we loved our alternative of mini cupcakes. We still had a small cake to cut which looked nice on the stand along side the cupcakes. Jill was so easy to work with so I would definitely recommend using them!
We had Smallcakes make the cupcakes for our wedding 10-8-16 and it was the easiest choice of the whole wedding planning process! All of our guest LOVED the the cupcakes of course! Jill was so helpful and so good at keeping in touch regarding the details. The sampler was incredible as well! We knew without having to try anywhere else that they were unbeatable!!
From start to finish working with Smallcakes was an absolute pleasure. Jill and the rest of her staff were not only knowledgable and accommodating but were truly passionate about their product and delivering the best possible service to their customers. I highly recommend Smallcakes of Naperville!!
From the absolutely delicious cupcakes, to the ease of coordinating with Jill, to the beautiful presentation of the cupcakes, our experience with Smallcakes was A+! Our guests loved the idea of cupcakes rather than wedding cake for dessert. Give Smallcakes a try - you can't go wrong.
Smallcakes did an amazing job on my wedding cupcakes! Throughout the whole process, Jill was extremely helpful and answered any question I had. It was also a great benefit that they set everything up for me, then also cleaned up! My guests raved about the cupcakes for days after the wedding. I would (and have!) recommended them to many people already.
Small cakes was helpful and easy to work with. Jill and her team made our cupcakes and cake delicious! Only negative was the stand looked incomplete (unfinished edges of the tiers) for our cupcakes, but the taste and completion of the cupcakes and cake was well worth overlooking the overall presentation! Great choice!
We received nothing but GREAT compliments on our wedding cupcakes!!! Jill and the staff at Smallcakes were nothing but awesome from beginning to end! they gave us exactly what we wanted, stayed within our budget, got it there on time and without any issues. Not to mention how good the cakes were. Thanks so much for being part of our special day!!!
Perfect for guests to come and grab a cupcake as they please! Smallcakes has an abundance of flavors to choose from that will satisfy all your guests!
Smallcakes was a dream to work with! So professional and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for our big day! All of our guests raved about our cupcakes! I will be ordering from Smallcakes in the future! Thank you again for making our day so sweet!
The presentation of our cupcakes was outstanding and so many of our guests were raving about the taste! We did chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with the wedding cake topping and couldn't be happier. Additionally, we did a gluten free 6" cake which was also amazing. Jill and Robert do a fabulous job! Thank you!
We reserved SmallCakes for our wedding. We ordered 22 dozen mini-cupcakes and a 6-inch cutting cake. We also paid extra for delivery and set-up. We tried 3 different vendors and SmallCakes was by far the best tasting. Jill and Robert were extremely easy to work with and always responded to my emails very quickly. Jill sent me pictures of sample cupcake towers and checked-in with me frequently. They always reached out to me first and I did not have to do much, which is always great for busy brides. The cakes were soooooo delicious. My favorite flavor is usually red velvet but I am now a believer in the boston creme cupcake. We even made the boston creme cupcake into our 6-inch cutting cake, which was just as delicious. We’ve been to many weddings where the cake was dry. Our cupcakes and cutting cake were amazing and got many compliments from guests. We had a traditional Chinese reception so the dinner was 13 courses and our guests still made room for more cupcakes, so that is testament to how delicious they were. Thanks Jill and Robert for making my wedding so sweet :)!!!
I was looking for something unique and fun to do for our wedding, something that would put the "aw" factor into effect. I was thinking that this would be impossible since most wedding desserts that look amazing never taste amazing. Smallcakes, a Cupcakery in Naperville, was my miracle, and nothing so beautiful ever tasted so great! Megan, the owner, and her crew, went over and beyond the call of duty. She called and emailed many times just to make sure everything I wanted for the order was just right. She sent me pictures, creative ideas, and even asked for paint chip cards to be sure she got my wedding colors down. Megan, the owner, personally delivered the cupcakes. Her crew was cordial and wished me the happiest of days before they left. The cupcakes were a big hit and their cupcakes were delicious (as always). If you are looking for something unique and fun for your birthday, baby shower, or wedding, call Smallcakes!
Small cakes was great to work with and they made sure all the last details were perfect for the wedding. And everything tasted amazing I would definitely recommend them! Thanks Jill!
Smallcakes was great! Great customer service, Jill and Rob were very helpful. My guests really enjoyed the cupcakes! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! Amazing customer service from the moment we walked in the door and throughout the entire process. The cupcakes are delicious, if you've never been there do yourself a favor and go get a cupcake...you won't regret it! Thank you to Jill and her amazing team, our wedding day was made even more special with delicious cupcakes! Thanks again!
I know the owners personally because I met them when they first opened and did my best friend's wedding. Both times they did a fantastic job of providing us with amazing cupcakes, customer service, and speedy responses! I love smallcakes! You cannot go wrong here!
I had ordered Smallcakes for my wedding. Im so glad we did it was so much better then having a cake. we had 2 flavors for our guests to pick from. Smallcakes even delivered them for us. Everyone loved them and they were a big hit. They also looked beautiful and were delicious. Thank you Smallcakes!!!
I can't thank Smallcakes enough! They were incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process! They even accommodated my last minute changes. Smallcakes set up at our venue and brought in their own stand. Everything was beautifully done, and so delicious! All our guests raved about the cupcakes. I couldn't get enough of Smallcakes that I already started planning to use them for my sister's baby shower!
I have been going to Smallcakes since it opened and knew that when I got married I would have to use them for my wedding! I chose to use the mini cupcakes in four different flavors and all of my guests gave rave reviews. The cupcakes were all gone in minutes! We also chose to have a small wedding cake made from Smallcakes and that was equally delicious. The staff was so kind and easy to work with. I would 100% recommend this business for any of your wedding or party needs! Enjoy!
Smallcakes is the best cupcakes I have ever had and the best people to work with. They set up and took everything down. My cupcakes were beautiful and everyone commented on how great they were. I have used them for many other things and every time they are great to work with. It was a fair price and they designed the cupcakes how I wanted.
Smallcakes made the cupcakes for our wedding. People are still raving to us about them almost a month later. And despite how amazing they looked and tasted, I can't get over the outstanding customer service. I fell in love with this bakery when we came in for our tasting back in April. We were encouraged to try everything and there was no pressure to place the order. The night before the wedding the owner called to confirm everything and assure us everything would be perfect for the wedding. I hung up the phone and felt like she was just as excited about the wedding as we were. Top notch!
