Customer Reviews

We walked into cupcake paradise! The display was overflowing with options? everything from classic favorites to creative, one of a kind flavors. My husband couldn?t decide (can you blame him?), so we went with the mini cupcake sampler pack?and wow, every single one was delicious! My favorite was the carrot cake, while my husband was obsessed with the chocoholic. The whole experience was so fun, we ended up sampling a bite of every cupcake ?? Ashley, the owner, was incredibly warm and helpful, making the v

I asked for a very simple ?Happy Birthday? cake for my dear husband. I will let my pictures do the talking, as I couldn?t be more disappointed. The first picture is what I initially picked up and I turned around so fast hoping they could do something to fix the cake. I asked for them to at least fix the writing to be larger and make the cake look happy? even an exclamation mark would have added something! The writing is beyond unprofessional and for a $47 cake, quite pathetic. The second and third pictures

I tried 16 different flavors of cupcakes and they were all amazing!! I highly recommend Smallcakes! The owner, Ashley, was very friendly and helpful.

SO disappointed for wedding cupcakes that were ordered timely and for which were paid with multiple emails for arrangements made for delivery to wedding venue delivery of which did NOT happen. Depended upon a business to have a reminder system both technical and, perhaps on a delivery board. A refund was made but.....irresponsible for a business and very disappointing for this special occasion.

Best GLUTEN FREE cupcake/cake I've ever had! I don't think most people would even be able to tell it's GF! Definitely will be back next time we're in St. Simons!

So I wanted a cupcake after playing a game on my phone, yeah it was a greedy move but, I found this place that was open. I drove over to the Island and decided to try a few different options. I got carrot cake, red velvet, birthday cake, hot fudge sundae, strawberry, and cookies and cream...so here goes. The Red velvet was more like chocolate cake and red coloring but the icing was good. The carrot cake was ok but it had a lot of coconut in it. My daughter ate the strawberry and said it was good but I didn'

I was blown away by how the cupcakes tasted, they were amazing. The woman who served us was very friendly and helpful. The store was clean and the tables were really unique. Definitely going back here if i want to satisfy my sweet tooth again.

We are vacationing on the Island and we wanted some sweet treats so we decided to get some cupcakes. We got wedding cake, key lime, cannoli, Oreo and snickers. The cupcakes that we ate so far were delicious.

Great cupcakes for reasonable price and nice options. Staff is also very friendly.

On October 17, 2024 I got married and Smallcakes made my wedding cake and it was wonderful!! It was beautiful, delicious and made to order!! (gluten free and no nuts due to family allergies!) Thank you Ashley for the amazing job you did creating my cake!! Even now after the wedding my guests continue to ask me where I got it and I am delighted to recommend you and the Smallcakes team!! From placing the order, to working with me on the design and style, to delivering it that day, I couldn't have been more p

Gluten free cupcakes!! Go get you some now! They are so moist and amazing!!! Can customize anyway you want them!!! ?? You will have to pre-order gluten free unless you go on Friday or Saturday they are available those days in store.

I could eat 24/7 these cup cakes are moist and delicious. Red velvet, wedding cake(almond), vanilla, chocolate, etc. I could not find one I did not like. The trend is to buy cupcakes instead of a birthday cake, so we bought most of the choices. Renee was happy with her b-day cakes.

We ordered birthday cupcakes, 3 of each kind listed in Review to celebrate our grandsons 20th birthday, they were amazing and he loved them. We are snowbirds, here for the winter and have been to the bakery several times to also pick up the mini cupcake sampler which was enjoyed by all our guests. The manager was terrific helping me decide on flavors and colors and each time so kind and helpful. We will return next year to indulge in the cupcakes for an extra special treat. Thank you for making the birthd

We spotted this bakery as we were driving past yesterday, and I think I just had the best cupcake of my life! I forget the name, but it was chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, with vanilla cream inside and a vanilla squiggle on top. So moist and rich and flavorful! What an amazing surprise!

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. Staff was friendly. Selection was out on display and only out of one kind. All icing was sugar which was nice since I had to ask cause it wasn't posted on the kinds of icing. While sitting and eating three was a few people stop in to pick up orders.

Visiting the island and wanted a birthday cake for our granddaughter who was turning 22. I showed the girl the picture and she assured me she could do it. Well, what I picked up was nothing like the picture. Was very disappointed with the way it looked and cake was very dense. Not only that, but the writing was suppose to be on the board. She said she wasn?t very good at writing, so she wrote Happy Birthday on the box the cake came in. Will NOT be returning.

Cupcakes were ok and had typical flavors...but the shop was cute! If I'm in the area, I MIGHT stop by again, but only if I can't get cupcakes anywhere else.

I asked for a brownie and they gave me a cookie sandwich and refused to give the brownie

Everything is absolutely amazing. We loved the cupcakes and macarons. The customer service was top notch. We will definitely be back.

THE BEST gluten-free cupcakes you will ever eat! We recently used Smallcakes Cupcakery to create a cake and cupcakes for our parents' 50th wedding anniversary drop-in. Everything was amazing! The most beautifully decorated cupcakes were ready for early pickup the day before our event. Highly recommend!!

We ordered 3 dozen cupcakes and a small cake for our wedding. We also requested delivery and wow!! The whole process was so easy, smooth, and convenient for our special day. The customer service of this place is superb!! And all of our treats were beautiful iced and delicious!!

Super cute cupcake shop and amazing service! My kids loved it! They have ice cream and a plethora of yummy cupcake flavors (mini and good size ones), macaroons, and PUPcakes ?? for your furry friends! If you?re looking to satisfy a sweet tooth and not just your typical grocery store cupcake, then this is the place to come! We will definitely be back!

Raining cats and dogs and I had to have a cupcake! New to the island for vacation and happened to see this place as I was driving. So glad I stopped! A great cupcake! Best I have and a good price and value. The chocoholic cupcake rocks. Very polite and friendly service and after the pandemic I would like to eat inside. Very clean.

This is a great location for a sweet treat. The restaurant's clean and the staff are friendly. I was very pleased that my cupcakes were fresh although they are on an open air display. I also loved the price points, everything is very affordable for families big or small. Definitely will visit again soon

Sally, baker and owner at Smallcakes is amazing ! If you are looking for the most amazing tasting cakes and cupcakes, look no further. Sally crafted a fresh white cream strawberry 10 inch round cake for my wife?s birthday. We had 20 folks celebrating and everyone was Raving about the cake and cupcakes. Sally bakes with love and the taste and design come shining through! Entrust Sally with your next special event or stop on and taste their amazing cakes. Thank you Sally !! 5+ stars!!! We will be back

We stopped here while on vacation. We had the cupcakes, cookies, and the ice cream. All of them were very good! The cupcakes were fresh and the frosting was delicious. The cookie was soft and flavor was good. The ice cream was so good!

Very nice person at counter. I chose the chocolate cupcake with white icing inside and chocolate fudge frosting. It was just ok. For $4, I was hoping for a better than average or grocery store cupcake. Sorry, I really wanted to love it but it wasn?t worth the calories unfortunately.

Smallcakes offer very good, yummy, moist gluten free cupcakes two days a week. They leave the gluten free ones unfrosted and let you pick your favorite. Chocolate cupcake with lemon frosting - delicious combination.

I was so impressed with this shop! Friendly staff, delicious and a large variety of options! Cupcakes, ice cream, coffee, brownies, macaroons, even treats for your fur babies! And more! They have great seating area or even quick pick ups to go! Go to the St Simons location and you won?t regret it!

My daughter asked us to make this special stop at this cupcake eatery she wanted to try out. We stopped there at 10:45 am / Saturday. Once we got there we saw that the hours posted on the store front said 11:00am so we waited. The staff could visibly see that we were waiting but at 11:10am the doors were still closed and the staff was ignoring us. We had to go and couldn't wait any longer so we left disappointed. The staff looked like young teenagers who obviously didn't own the place. I just wonder if the

I purchased four of the most wonderful pieces of Heaven?..Red velvet, cookies and cream, carrot cake and birthday cake cupcakes! I enjoyed all of them equally! If you want moist, tasty and satisfying desserts, then look no further! This is the place!!!!!

Great little place...very charmingly decorated and the cupcakes are delicious! It?s hard to be in a service based industry during a pandemic but the man waiting on us tonight did a fantastic job! Thank you for turning a rainy night into a treat night for us! We?ll be back! Try the chocolate cream cupcake if you don?t know what to get...it?s SO FREAKING GOOD!

Loved the wedding cake cupcake!! We got there as they were closing onTuesday. The employee was very sweet and patient with my mom and I as we chose our flavors.

I chose for smallcakes to make and deliver my wedding cakes, and I highly recommend this bakery. Everything was professionally done, Sally and her staff were professional and extremely helpful. The cakes were divine, and exactly what I wanted. I cannot say enough good things about this bakery. Our wedding cake was the lemon drop cake with sunflowers on top. It was moist, and perfect for our day. In addition, she offers gluten friendly cakes (gluten-free cakes, but they are cooked in the same oven as other

First time visiting and bought 4 different cupcakes. I just ate the lemon and it was so moist and delicious!! Can't wait to try ths strawberry one! The other 2 are for my husband!?

We went in tonight after dinner and got four delicious cupcakes! The staff person was friendly and patient as we chose our flavors. Great little shop!

Tried again to go get cupcakes with my daughter. Hours say they close at 8 but they were already closed. This has happened so many times I guess I will finally give up. How a restaurant can stay in business without sticking to their posted hours is beyond me.

I was impressed with the Red Velvet cupcake. Honestly didn?t think it would be that great but it was moist and delicious. Icing is not to sweet or rich, just how I like. Will definitely be back

Such a nice friendly owner! Got there after closing time and she put out all the cupcakes again and let us in! Not to mention the cupcakes were delicious!!!!

They are the best cupcakes, I haven't found a better place so far. I always go back to small cakes. They are so amazing.

Very cute place. Excellent cupcakes and wide selection. Get the mini-cupcake variety pack!

Super yummy cupcakes!! Service was friendly and inviting. We got Birthday Cake, Boston Creme Pie, Reeses and Wedding Cake!

Very delicious!! We took ours to the beach for a little picnic.

We have tried to go multiple times in the last month or so and each time they are closed. The other night we went at 6:00 (2 hours before closing) and an employee locked the door and was taking a large box of cupcakes with her that could have been sold to customers. She could see that we were coming to the store and chose not to acknowledge. We won't try again.

Don't waste your time. They are never "OPEN" or their oven is broken. I have been stopping by there since 28th of june to see if there is a manager on duty. LoL duty is what this place is. The owner or management is never there. What a fabulous way to run a business.

I walked in to get one cupcake and they all looked incredible so I had to get a few! They taste as good as they look! Yum!

Yummy! The cupcakes were so delicious! So many flavors to pick from that it makes choosing a cupcake hard to do. :)

Listen to the reviews - they don't follow their hours. It's really disappointing cause my friend loves the place. I can't believe people don't know how to run a business. HINT: STICK TO YOUR HOURS

Good luck catching them when they are open. Stick to the hours you advertise! Closing early every single day is no way to run a business.

me and my daughter loves this place. The service is great and the cup cakes are always fresh.

What a cute place! Looking forward to my next trip back! My kids really liked the birthday cake flavor.

Best cupcakes ever! Simply amazing. Also love the owner! She's the best.

Thank you for making my boyfriend?s birthday special! Presentation was great and he said they tasted great!

Absolutely delicious!!!! We tried 6 different flavors and they all were great!

Always very friendly when I come in to pick up an order. Great treats made with care.
