Sweet Elizabeth’s Cakes

I have tried a few cupcakes from Sweet Elizabeth’s over the years and was impressed, so I decided to use their services for a special birthday cake for my son. They were great at communication via email, gave multiple pricing options, took my vision and tweaked it to make it even cuter, and the final product turned out awesome! My son was so excited about his cake, and it tasted as good as it was adorable!

I absolutely love her for the cake she made for my daughters birthday. She did a shopkin Wendy wedding cake and it came out amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. Simply the best! The cake boos has nothin on sweet Elizabeth

My fiancé and I decided to make a special trip here to inquire about their wedding cakes. The lady that assisted us was very friendly and took down our info for Elizabeth to follow back up with us. I bought a red velvet cupcake while I was there, it was awesome. I’ve been thinking about that cupcake since, I’ll definitely be going back.

Great cupcakes, especially like their red velvet.

This might be more of a place to order custom-​made cakes, rather than buying the baked items on display. I was excited to try out this bakery this weekend and bought 2 caramel candies, a lemon ginger tea cake, and a «3 Best Friends» cupcake.
The caramel candies tasted good, but the texture was off. They were really crumbly and would not hold their shape out of the wrapper. They were more like caramel mush wrapped in plastic.
The lemon ginger cake had a nice flavor, but it was extremely dry, even after I brought it home and microwaved it for 60 seconds. The «3 Best Friends» cupcake was also really dry, but I greatly enjoyed its flavor. The cupcake base is made with chocolate chip pound cake, topped with salted caramel buttercream and salted caramel filling.
I think the items on display were dry because they were reused from previous days. I sympathize with the difficulty for a small bakery to keep all of its items fresh at all times. At the same time, it doesn’t seem like customers get a discount on less fresh items, either.
However, the service was good, the cupcakes are pretty, and I love the concept. Perhaps their custom-​made cakes are less dry than their cupcakes and are worth trying out.

Adorable bakery shop on Main Street in Manayunk, which I stopped in to try the dessert and drink special that was being offered. While I am not big on sweets, I went with the chocolate chip strawberry shortcake and a jalapeño lemonade.
The jalapeño lemonade brought the heat and an equal balance of sweet. I felt it was an interesting combination, but not something I would regularly order in the future.
The chocolate chip strawberry shortcake I saved for later in the evening, which my compliments to the packaging to ensure the dessert stayed upright. The cake portion was a bit dense, but as a whole the dessert was delicious and something I would order again.
I recommend stopping in to this bakery shop — forget grabbing dessert at the restaurant when these baked goods are the best on Main Street.

Our number one bakery. My husband loves their red velvet cake and I love their strawberries and cream.
I ordered a groom’s cake for our wedding and it was gorgeous! It was so beautiful I gasped when I first saw what they created. I told Elizabeth I wanted a New Orleans cake and boy did she deliver! New Orleans skyline, vintage saints logo, and the cathedral compete with Andrew Jackson on horse!

Adorable bakery shop on Main St in Manayunk. All their items look so delicious, they also have gluten free options. My roommate loves the cupcakes and I’ve gotten the Chocolate Mousse Cup and it was delicious! They have these adorable take-​away boxes with instructions on how the items should be eaten (room temperature or cold).

Very celiac friendly! They offer a few different gluten free options of cupcakes and today a glu free margarita cheesecake that was delicious! Very good sweets and the staff is super friendly. Will definitely be going back :-)

My Birthday was lovely, even though they forgot to put strawberries in between the layers with the strawberry buttercream, I would recommend Sweet Elizabeth vanilla bean chocolate chip pound cake with strawberry buttercream icing to everyone I meet. Wonderful

The five stars are for the Red Velvet cupcake, because it really is as good as it gets. I read they make them with real beet juice to give the red coloring, but all I can say is it was perfectly moist and the mascarpone frosting was a great compliment. I’m not a cupcake person, I think the Sex in the City cupcake craze is a little ridiculous, but this cupcake was perfectly executed and best in class.
Also had the bacon chocolate cupcake which was just OK. Do not miss the red velvet!

They make the most incredible, delicious red velvet birthday cake! Sweet Elizabeth’s is the best place to pick up some yummy cupcakes or to order a special cake! You won’t be disappointed!

I’m not generally a cupcake person and not a fan of icing, but this place was awesome. Tried the red velvet cupcake with mascarpone cheese frosting, and would definitely recommend it!

A friend of mine decided late last weekend that she would drive into the city to celebrate her birthday (yay!!!) and I wanted to make sure she had a cake! So it’s like an hour before she’s going to arrive at 6pm and I am walking back from The Little Apple, my favorite gift shop, and I decide to walk into Sweet Elizabeth’s to get some cupcakes or something. I’ve heard good things.
Wouldn’t you know they offer these STUNNING cakes pre-​made for you to purchase for just $ 35 dollars! I chose one covered in sprinkles (yum) with funfetti cake and they wrote her name and a message AND covered it in edible sprinkles. My friend was so happy, the cake was beautiful and tasty and the best drunk food after we’d had champagne for celebrations of her birth. Definitely a wonderful Manayunk shop!

If anyone knows me, I’m an avid cake lover and have a weird passion for cupcakes. I came across sweet elizabeths as an alternative to my favorite cupcake place (which is a drive to the city I’m not always willing to take).
I was excited to see the different flavors and the creative decorations. The demeanor of the actual store is nice. Seems like a place you can cuddle in and read a book on a rainy day. As for the cupcakes, I’d say they’re pretty good. The icing is a butter based icing (not my personal favorite), but is delicious for what it is. As for the cake, it is a little on the dry side. Some of the flavors are also a little bland. The cost is standard for the «fancy» cupcakes you see nowadays… I think around $ 3.50 per cupcake.
It’s a decent place to get a cupcake in this area. Wouldn’t say it’s the best.

Beautiful cakes my daughters first discovered this gem and introduced to attached photos

Had the red velvet cupcake while on a food tour. That was really good. I also took home 3 cupcakes as well. All of those were scrumptious too. The salted caramel candies are awesome too.

Nice to have a cupcake shop in manayunk but the cupcakes are a little dry.
Flavors are good but come how lacking and pretty pricey for what you get.

It’s my birthday and I’ll eat three cupcakes if I wanna!
I came to Sweet Elizabeth’s because of YOU Unilocalers, and I am perfectly pleased with my choice. I typically judge a bakery by the red velvet cupcake because red velvet is a complex salty meets sweet cake. Sweet Elizabeth’s passed the test with a yummy, moist, red velvet cupcake.
The frosting is a little rich, even for me… but the people are super sweet which tips the scale right back in their favor.
Tried: Red Velvet (Yum), Burbon… or some alcohol, I forget (Okay) and Pumpkin (Solid).
Happy Birthday to meeee!

I’ll start by saying I’ve never been a huge dessert person and even less so a bakery person. So when JJ dragged me into Elizabeth’s, I thought at least I remember seeing it on the cooking network (or a similar channel, I can’t quite remember). However, after taking my first bite of their Passion Fruit cupcake, all I can say is wow… And it got better once we got home with the Key Lime cupcakes!
They set their flavors for the cupcakes on the 1^st Wednesday of every month and also have a few popular flavors available every weekend. Yes, you can even get a chocolate bacon cupcake. I managed to sample most of February’s and enjoyed them all. Can’t wait for the news options to roll-​out!
