Smallcakes Cupcakery

So I’ve read all the reviews and would have to disagree with some of the ones that aren’t favorable. I have been all over this city eating cupcakes from Piece of Cake, Camicakes, Sprinkles, Highland Bakery, just to name a few and quite frankly Smallcakes is my favorite. I tried them out only because I get my nails done a couple doors down and had a craving for something sweet. I bought the Lemon Drop, Plain with Strawberry Icing, Red Velvet, & Strawberry Cheesecake, which wasn’t on display but the cashier suggested it) and to my surprise I was immediately hooked. My friend and I sampled each one of them and couldn’t believe how moist the cupcakes were. Now, I am a huge fan of sweet tasting icing so I was instantly a fan of the Smallcakes Icing. It tasted like the flavors that we chose and that is rare… most of the places I’ve been to have the same taste when it comes to icing… no real flavor. A week ago my best friend came in town and I took her to this location and we ordered the variety pack (12 mini’s), which consisted of Carmel Icing & Chocolate Cake, Birthday Cake, Strawberry Icing & Plain Cake, & Chocolate Icing with Chocolate Cake… we also purchased a Lemon Drop and Chocolate Sundae cupcake. The review is the same… she raved about how moist the cupcakes were and how flavorful the icing and cake were together. On top of that we didn’t tear into the mini’s until 3 days later and they were STILL moist. We were amazed. Quite frankly cupcakes get stale after a day and lose it’s flavor value but not these cakes. It is by far my favorite in the city and I would recommend them to anyone who has a sweet tooth.

I love Smallcakes cupcakes. I normally visit the one in Smyrna but have been going to this location for the last few months. Both locations have great customer service. This location does custom orders within 24 hours. Best thing and most important… they make cakes here!
They run specials that you can view on their Facebook page. I bought the Valentine’s cupcake special… 12 medium cupcakes, container wrapped in a bow, with a card for $ 25. They cupcakes were so cute and tasted great.
I bought a dozen cupcakes (half pink vanilla and half birthday cake) for my small birthday get together with friends.

Great cupcakes, horrible service. I went in to order cupcakes for an impromptu birthday celebration and the cupcaker looked at me like I was speaking French. Fire her and you’ll get 5 stars. For $ 36 for flour and sugar I should at least get a genuine smile and a ton less attitude.

I like this as an option for cupcakes. The icing is a little sweet but the cupcake is good!
I had the cookies and cream based off the employee recommendation (I figure they know what their best is!) and I really enjoyed it. The cupcake was moist.
Nothing was really cookies and cream about it but the icing, but I still really liked it. I’d shop here again.

Visited the first time yesterday. OMG!!! I really enjoyed my choices of red velvet & lemon drop. They were really sweet BUT, I have an intense sweet tooth so it was right up my alley. I’ll be sure to visit again (soon).

We frequent cupcake bakeries and since this is closer, we decided to try it out. The store seemed very empty and unwelcoming. The actual cupcakes were extremely sweet and artificial. The cake tasted like something from the boxed cake mixes and the frosting tastes like the cans of frosting you could buy as well. Overall, not a fan at all. Couldn’t even finish half a cupcake due to the overwhelming sweetness.

I stopped by as they had number of cupcakes samples. After trying a few, I bought few to take home. The icing was light and not too sweet. The cake was very moist… the reason I put 4 stars as it is kind of pricey for cupcakes comparing to other places in town…

I have been here in person one time. I have also been to a party where someone brought a variety of flavors to share. So I have had a good tasting of the various flavors. Overall, there are a couple things I have noticed. 1) The chocolate cupcakes are moister than the vanilla based cupcakes. 2) The flavor of the cupcakes really comes from the icing rather than from the cake itself. The cake itself is actually rather plain. But at least the frostings are delicious.
Wish they had offered small cupcakes in store that customers could order in a variety pack. At the aforementioned party, I had to cut up the cupcakes 5 ways in order for everyone to be able to sample what they wished. Quite messy.
During my initial in-​person visit, I tried the Snickers cupcake. It was so delicious and moist. The cucpake actually feel apart while I was eating it. I think partially because it may have been a bit TOO moist and because it is top heavy with the frosting and once the cupcake was loosened and partially eaten, it could not support the weight of the frosting.
I have also tried the Red Velvet, Birthday Cake, Lemon Drop, and Chocolate (not sure which it was). The Lemon Drop was the most flavorful outside of the frosting as it had a filling to it. The Birthday Cake really did taste exactly like its name — due to the frosting. The Red Velvet was just your average sampling– nothing too special about it. It was probably bottom on my list. Not bad, but not great. At the same time, hard to pick a favorite as they are all pretty darn good.

I gave thus place three stars because I feel like its missing something. You walk in the door and the cupcakes and everything is way in the back of the store. I feel like it needs more too empty looking.
The cupcake I tried was the salted caramel cupcake and it is amazing!!! A large size 3.50 priced cupcake which is great. I also tried the snicker cupcake and i hated it too sweet artifical taste frosting i through it away. I been here 3 times and the last time was 2÷10÷15 in the late afternoon the lady that worked there I have seen twice and she is really nice and helpful. The other lady not so much. At the end of the day yes the place needs some improvements but I will order from them again but only the salted caramel lol.

Waste of time. With the plethora of independent cupcake places in Atlanta, there’s no need to waste your time, money, or tastebuds at this Small Cakes franchise. For goodness’ sake, the teen working there didn’t know what was in or on the cupcakes, or even what flavor they were!
As for the product itself, the cake and icing were bland and uninspired. I’ve made better at home with Betty Crocker. At $ 3.50 a pop, you can do a lot better.

Service was good but cupcake was ok. Tons of icing… little too dry for me! Prefer Camicakes!

Great service, though cupcakes were average, less than stellar. The only one worth the trip was the milk and cookies cupcakes

I’ve always loved Smallcakes and I think I’ve literally gone to every single location in Atlanta’s surrounding areas. This location is by far terrible compared to all the others. I normally order the Decadent Fudge cupcake and a couple others that they seem to not even make AT ALL in this store. It’s very disappointing to finally have a small cakes right around the corner from my house and they don’t even make the cupcakes I can get at every other location. The employees are unfortunately not the best either, at least the ones I’ve encountered the few times I’ve gone in. Hopefully they get things together eventually because I know tons of others that would love to come here if they did.

Service was nice today but I didn’t like my cupcake. I had the strawberry. The buttercream frosting was way too sweet. The cake was moist. However, it tasted artificially sweetened and artificially flavored and I didn’t like it. I ended up getting headachy and a stomachache from the over-​the-​top artificial and sugar load. Not sure I’d return.

First time trying these cupcakes today. Best I’ve had in a long time if ever. Amazing!

Tried these cupcakes today. Super yummy. They were very moist and had buttercream topping. I’ve tried many places and the topping tends to be too rich, not these! The cost is $ 3.50 and they are larger than the other ones you get at cupcake stores.
I haven’t been in the store yet, as these were brought into work, but since they are in the neighborhood I will be a regular! So happy we’ve got a cupcake store in the North Druid Hills area!
I wish them luck.
