Sugar From the Heart

Wow these cupcakes are really good! While waiting for my dogs to be groomed next door I decided to check it out I got a sea salt caramel on chocolate cupcake… I was gonna save it for later but after trying the frosting I couldn’t resist myself! The employees are very friendly and you can Tell they are clean, the cupcakes are $ 3 which isn’t pricy at all considering the quality you are getting like they’re heavy lol… …anyway I read a one star review and if your biggest issue is not knowing what flavors they are or what their «names» are well I feel sorry for you lol

I attended a tasting at Sweet & Saucy Shop for a wedding and all the cake flavors were OK, and some of the cakes were UNDERBAKED. It was mushy and way too wet on the inside. I am going to school for baking and pastry arts, but even a regular person could tell it was not right. I also felt like the other bakery’s flavors were really repetitive chocolate with this & that, and really sweet for my taste. The others who were there agreed as well, so we looked on Unilocal for a place with good cupcakes. Leaving the other bakery dissatisfied, we called Sugar From the Heart and were able to set up a last-​minute tasting (which we really just chose the cupcakes we wanted to try and paid for them, which was A-​OK!) We loved EVERY cupcake we tried! They were perfectly moist and not overly sweet frosting. Our absolute favorite was the maple bacon pancake flavor. We also tried a few macarons, which were pretty good as well. It took us no time at all to decide that these cupcakes and macarons should be served at the wedding. Come wedding day, the baked goods were absolutely beautiful, and just as delicious as we remembered them being.

My wife and I got married on December 20 in Riverside. My wife’s mom recommended Sugar from the Heart because she had tried them once and said they were the best cupcakes she had ever had (and she’s pretty picky about her sweets). Sugar from the Heart made our couple’s cake and mini cupcakes exactly how we wanted them! Not only that but they were willing to deliver the cupcakes and cake to Riverside which we did not expect! We had the cinnamon roll, red velvet, raspberry Chardonnay and Strawberry cakes. All of them were delicious! Our guests loved all of them! Their prices are very reasonable too! For the price we spent for 300 mini cupcakes, a small couples cake plus delivery, bakeries were quoting us just for the small cake!
We would highly recommend Sugar from the Heart to anyone!

Been seeing this place for sometime now and decided to finally try and buy some cupcakes before heading to Los Angeles last night. So anyways parking is available up front and also st. Parking close by. The venue is actually pretty small but clean inside. They serve and sell cookies, some macaron (saw only 1 type) and most importantly a few selection of cupcakes I believe they have about 8 – 10 available flavors (no names to identify what they were).
First of… although the employee or server was nice? (I guess?) My whole experience felt awkward and weird to me… I decided to get 8 different kinds of cupcake and the whole time I was pointing the cupcakes I realized that there were no names to ID the cupcakes. And not once did the server supplied and helped me out in identifying the flavors of the cupcakes. Usually servers/​employees ask whether you’re new to their store/​not and tends to help you out in getting familiar to what they have so that whole process of purchase/​ordering goes smooth and easy for the customer. So yeah… my in store experience is .ehhh…since I didn’t really feel comfortable the whole time and its lacking that friendly atmosphere…
I got 1 with a pretzel on top, 1 with shaved coconuts, 2 Oreo, 1 starwberry (i think) and 1 birthday cake flavor or sprinkle? Actually not sure since I have to guess 3 of the flavors. The cupcakes was pretty good to say the least. Spongy, moist and a bit sweet (but not overly sweet like the frosting that i had to take most off). Paid $ 24 for 8 ($ 3/​cupcakes kind of pricey).
Anyways i still suggest to try this place and give the cupcake a taste and see how you like it…

We ordered a specialty «sports» themed cake for my son’s 50^th birthday. It was a very moist, delicious chocolate cake with a scrumptious raspberry filling, covered in melt-​in-​your-​mouth yellow buttercream frosting. The cake was yummy good, but the best part was the LA Lakers and Los Angeles Rams logos on top that made it the most fun.
Sugar from the Heart has new fans!

Cupcakes are delicious. Fresh, moist, and not too sweet. I had a craving for a cupcake and decided on this place because of the Unilocal reviews. I went with a strawberry cupcake & a carrot cupcake. Both were so tasty. Service was excellent as well! I will definitely be back.

Stopped by for my daughters 12^th birthday… She wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends on her cheerleading squad so we stopped by to get some cupcakes. As always, never disappointed. Customer service is great. They take the time to talk to you as they prepare your order. They wrapped our box of a dozen cupcakes in a bow and even have my daughter a free cupcake for her birthday.
Cupcakes were delicious as always. My go to place when I need cupcake.

My sister in law has ordered cakes from here and they have always been good and very beautiful. So I decided to order my daughter’s cake here. I wanted to order a cake for my daughter’s birthday and I went in a few days before to order her cake but they informed me that they couldn’t get it done in just a few days, they were full on orders. So I asked if I could do cupcakes at least. They were able to do that for me. I told her to make it a ‘Tiffany’s’ color. They did such a beautiful job and the cupcakes were SO good. I also went ahead and ordered an actual birthday cake for the following week. BEAUTIFUL! They definitely have my business! Will be ordering from them again!

My fiancé gave me a 6 cupcake assortment for my anniversary. I’m so glad he did, this was my second experience and I loved every bite of it. First, let’s point out the fact that they will tie a cute ribbon bow on the box. And now the taste test… So moist and fresh! Every cupcake had its own personality. My favorites were the chocolate banana cupcake, the coffee bean cupcake, and the cherry. These stood out, but all of them were very tasty. I will definitely be going back myself.

The best cupcakes I have ever had! The flavors are so unique, every cupcake is different and full of yummy goodness! At first my family wasn’t crazy about cupcakes but Sugar from the Heart really changed our minds. Every bite was savory. You’re truly getting your money’s worth! Highly recommend it.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Looked and tasted equally as awesome. As soon as i walked in to your shop I knew I had made the right choice. Friendly, helpful, informative. My daughter and every little guest at her party enjoyed them. Thank you again!

My first visit– It was great look forward to returning soon. Order four cupcakes: Red Velvets, coconut, and carrot cake.
Service GREAT
Quality GREAT
Cleanliness GREAT
Email receipt is a option I like.

Been coming here for a few years now. I happened upon it by accident. It is hidden a bit behind the Wendys.
This review is for cupcakes only. I haven’t tried any of their other treats.
Cupcakes are always fresh. They make real buttercream and real ingredients. Nothing tastes artificial. I love their seasonal flavors.
Over the past few years I have probably tried 20+ flavors. Some of my favorites:
Cupcake Wars, Pear (seasonal), Cinnamon Roll (don’t forget the imported butter), Root Beer, Lemon Raspberry.
They have gluten free fridays and usually have 2 options. Get any of the ones with a chocolate base. You really can’t tell the difference.
They always offer to wrap the box with a bow but I don’t need anything else getting in the way of my cupcakes but would be nice if you are giving it as a gift.
Customer Service is on point. Even if I don’t show up for months they remember me when I come back.
Parking is usually pretty easy. They do make the cupcakes daily so if you get there later in the day sometimes the selection is limited.

This is the best place ever to buy cupcakes and order special occasion cakes. We have order several cakes in the past years and always beautiful and delicious.
Fresh and real flavor.
We had Oreo cupcake (my favorite), red velvet cake, chocolate cake, strawberry cake and vanilla cake.
I have seen them working and everything is very fresh, authentic and dedicated.
I highly recommend them.
Thank you Krista and Tina for the last beautiful cake.

The cupcakes that I had from this cute little place are so delicious! I recently got 2 for my boyfriend’s birthday. 1) blueberry cupcake with a lemon frosting 2) chocolate cupcake with caramel in the center and with peanut butter frosting. He enjoyed both but his favorite was the lemon blueberry cupcake.
I think it was the baker, she was very sweet and put it in a box wrapped with a blue ribbon. If you are in the Lakewood area, give this place a try. I’ve been here couple of times and each time I leave with no regrets (except for the amount of calories I consumed after eating just ONE cupcake). And trust me, one is good enough. Very rich.
Heads up — $ 3.00 for a cupcake and .50 cent using credit /​debit card.

Customer of mine brought in SFTH cupcakes. and I was super duper excited to eat em! It was wrapped nicely with a pink bow and a big box. super cute decorations!
Once opened. my eyes were sparkling. SO many beautiful looking cupcakes! It was just a matter of deciding which one to eat first!
My customer knows my love for peanut butter and told me the one with the pretzel on top has a PB frosting. I was on it. I claimed it.
There was also a pancake maple bacon cupcake. I claimed that one as well lol.
Pancake cupcake– I didn’t like this one too much. Had kind of an aritificial like flavor TO ME, and the bacon was overly hard. Not bad though, and the scent of the cupcake is divine.
Peanut butter frosted cup​cake​-ERMERG​ERDDD​.SO GEWD! I could just eat that frosting by the tub! It was amazing, and it was also filled with caramel. Definitely a fan of it.
Carrot cake– It was okay. Nothing amazing, but a decently good cupcake. I’d probably rate this last out of the 3.
I’ll take a dozen of those PB cupcakes any day, though!

For the past few years I would not try a place unless I «Yelped» it first! I love the honest opinions from different foodies in the area. This cupcake shop is one of the best I have found-​it is so small I would have never gone there if it wasn’t for this site.
The cupcakes=DELISH! Soft, fresh, beautiful, and taste just like the flavor they are supposed to be. I am so tired of fancy cupcake shops that have adorable cupcakes, yet you take a bite and they just taste bland-​that is very disappointing!
Service=Warm, friendly, and smiles every time!
Presentation=Bring a box of these wrapped in their satin ribbon to any event and be loved by all =)
Make it a point to stop in one day and I am sure you will go back!

This review is for the items I’ve tried at Sugar From the Heart. I have only tried the macarons and cupcakes.
The macarons had good flavor but the filling was too sweet and they didn’t taste fresh. They were cold like they had been sitting in a freezer or refrigerator for some time. I’ve eaten freshly made macarons and they are much better in flavor and texture.
The cupcakes I tried were not good at all. The cake itself was a little dry in spots and lacking flavor. It reminded me of boxed cake mix that hadn’t been mixed and cooked well. The cupcakes also had way too much thick, sweet frosting that tasted like store-​bought frosting, similar to Pillsbury or Duncan Hines but richer and sweeter.
I was expecting better-​tasting cupcakes, especially with all the good reviews this shop has. The cupcakes looked cute, but the taste and texture of the cupcakes (I tried two different flavors) were not good. It could have been that they were purchased later in the day. Maybe they make them fresh each morning. Still, it doesn’t excuse the overwhelming amount of overly sweet and rich frosting that made up more than half of the cupcake. The large, crunchy sugar sprinkles didn’t help with the sweetness overload either. I’ve always had a sweet tooth and loved sweet things, and I can’t fathom how anyone could eat that much rich frosting and actually like it. I was looking at other Unilocal pictures and the frosting looks heavily piled with a heavy hand on almost every cupcake. *Shudders*…reminds me of those bad cupcakes I ate. Might as well use an ice cream scooper.
I was disappointed. I’ve baked better cupcakes at home. You get a small cupcake that is mostly frosting. There was no balance in these cupcakes. And I had that same strange and slightly nauseated feeling of mucus forming in my throat when I’ve used too much baking soda in my cakes. I don’t know if they use baking soda but that’s how I felt after having a couple bites of each. I didn’t enjoy them at all.
I haven’t tried anything else from their bakery so I can’t comment on their other products.
The inside of the bakery is cute. I like the décor. And as a mother of a child with allergies I think it’s great that they are willing to take custom orders for allergy-​free cakes. But it would be so much better if they had a few allergy-​free, ready-​made items (like one type of cupcake and one type of cookie that is dairy, egg and nut-​free). I would rate them higher if they did, as I thought they were an allergy-​friendly bakery, but it seems that this bakery is not truly allergy-​friendly, just gluten-​friendly. When I called to ask about their baked goods, they didn’t have any dairy, egg and nut free items I could buy ready-​made. They said I had to order a cake for that. And that was that.
I guess I’ll continue making desserts for my son and look for real allergy-​friendly bakeries when I don’t have time to bake.

The aptly named «Sugar From the Heart» puts love into every cupcake. These cupcakes are meticulously assembled and styled while still being very tender and moist. The frosting is light and sweet without being too strong.
Cupcakes are $ 3 each, and if you buy 1 dozen, the math works out to where one is essentially free. They are constantly rotating their offerings, but they have a couple of varieties that are consistent such as Banana Chocolate Chip, Pb and J, and Cookies and Cream. They have other baked goods, but if you don’t always get a cupcake when you come here, you have made a poor choice.
The only issue I have with the place, Is they are buried in the corner of crowded L-​shaped strip mall. Combined with their subtle signage, you may mistake them for the waiting room of the allstate next door, if you aren’t paying attention.

After perusing our Entertainment book for new places to visit, I stumbled across a two for one deal for this quaint little cupcake shop. Being as I was headed this way for dinner with my mom and grandparents and I wanted something small and sweet for dessert so I figured it was a good time to bust out the coupon and pay a visit.
Sugar From The Heart is a very small shop sitting in a L-​shaped strip mall hidden away behind a Wendy’s and is definitely easy to miss. I drove by the place initially before picking out the sign as I went by and having to reroute and detour back over. I expected the place to be small but the initial size took me by surprise as it’s literally one small display case and that’s it. The lady working the front was very nice and when I said it was my first time in the shop she very eloquently went through all of the various flavor choices. After careful but tough consideration to several flavors I ended up going with the S’more and Root Beer Float varieties.
The Root Beer Float was unbelievable and the smell alone was fantastic but the taste was even better. The cupcake was spot on in its flavor composition and really set a high standard in my eyes. The S’mores cupcake was also very well done and featured all the components and flavors one would expect out of a S’more. The issue I had with the S’more cupcake was the marshmallow itself (although toasted nicely and tasting great) was a bit too sweet and the stickiness attached itself to everything. Another plus here is the pricing as each cupcake will only run you about $ 3 which isn’t bad and is in line with a couple of other cupcake places we have discovered recently.
There is no seating here although you may be able to find a seat at an adjacent business outside but considering most get cupcakes to go this shouldn’t be an issue. The quality and taste of the products is really what stands out and they have around 20 or so to choose from on any given day. Good quality, good pricing and a great selection of flavors, there is bound to be something for everyone. If you have a sweet tooth and love cupcakes then I would definitely venture over to give them a try.
