I was super excited to come across the Crafty Cakery but the excitement quickly wore away by the end of the experience. My fiancé ordered me chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream filling and chocolate buttercream around the outside and was to have Tiffany blue butterflies on it. The website specifically says you can submit photos for inspiration but the cake wouldn't look identical- fine, makes sense. My fiancé chose not to send photos for this reason, assuming they would work their magic. The cake was a HUGE LETDOWN. There is no reason a cake should look the way it did for the amount of money he paid. It looked like a plain chocolate cake with 5 stenciled butterflies. Not to mention, when we picked up the cake, one of the employees closed the cake box on the butterfly that was purposely hanging off the cake. To be honest, I was so embarrassed by it, I decorated it myself to add some depth. We were told the cake could sit out to defrost, but by the time we ate it the butterflies were melting off. Additionally, his invoice said to pickup the cake within 20 minutes from 9am or the cake would be up for sale to someone else. We arrive to a closed store and when someone did open the door it was like they had no idea why were there. I'm puzzled.... The only saving grace was the taste. The cake was moist and the flavor combo truly reminded me of a chocolate covered strawberry. Unfortunately, we will not be returning for the overall poor experience.
I was given two Crafty Cakery cupcakes by a friend as a gift and they were delicious! I especially loved the Elvis peanut butter and banana cupcake. Also really liked the rich moist chocolate cake on the Spumoni cupcake. Each cupcake was stuffed with a good but not too large amount of filling. Pretty packaging with polka dot paper and neatly done so I could recycle the box. Looking forward to trying more of their cupcakes.
I stopped here for the first time yesterday... and SO glad I did. First, make sure you get here early because the word is out... this place is legit (and they will sell out). I peeked in the store and saw a whole pan of cinnabuns and came back 40 mins later and they were already gone, lol! The pumpkin spice cupcakes are DELIC. They are well balanced (good moist cake, good crumb) topped with a cream cheese frosting not "too overly" sweet or too much butter or salt. The sprinkling of graham cracker adds a "sweet touch." The sugar cookie has a nice chew and great flavor - loved it, actually. Enjoy this new bakery! Def will be a go to for me in the future!
