Went in because the sign by the road said they had cupcakes. When I entered, the glass case was empty and I asked about the cupcakes. They gave the same excuse, saying most were made to order and they had been busy. What a line! If you have a sign out that says "cupcakes here," then you have fresh cupcakes in that case! So they said they could do some right then made to order. I watched as she pulled premade cupcakes FROM THE FRIDGE and poked a hole in the top of each one with her finger, then put them in the MICROWAVE. Really?! Then I said I'd like butter cream icing and silver sprinkles.
I took them back to my office and don't get me wrong, they were very nice looking. But when we bit into them, they were very DRY and we couldn't take more than two bites because the icing literally tasted like eating a tub of butter. I'm not sure where they received culinary training at this place, but I'd stay away if you're looking for a quality-tasting, FRESH product. Since they obviously are a catering company and not a bakery, the signs should be adjusted and the window blacked-out so they can operate simply as a kitchen and not give the false perception that they are a full-service bakery.
Whether I am seeking a specialty cake for birthdays, retirement celebrations, or baby showers, or simply dropping in for a sweet treat, the folks at Artistic Confections always do a great job. They are very talented and friendly. I stopped in today to tell them how much my friend enjoyed the two-layer casino themed cake ordered for her birthday. Not only was it moist and delicious. It was truly an edible masterpiece. One layer was hummingbird cake and the other was a strawberry the cream cheese filling, my friend's favorites. It was so beautiful, she didn't want to cut it. While I was there today, I couldn't resist the freshly baked snickerdoodle and brown sugar cookies...yummy! Maria and company, you guys rock!
The cake was a huge hit with the kids and parents, but the taste was the real winner! After the party, there was barley any left as kids and parents alike were going in for seconds. And Maria's triathlon themed cookies as party favors was an amazing idea and very well received !
I wasn't going to post anything negative, as it's been a while since I went to this business; however, I just enjoyed some awesome cupcakes from Smallcakes Cupcakery and thought I'd check to see what others were saying about this place nowadays...some not so good experiences similar to mine:
Once again, the girls at Artistic Confections came through with an amazing cake for my son's birthday. This year, his party was just prior to a big kids triathlon. In preparation to get psyched up for it, Maria came up with a great cake in Triathlete theme.
Looking forward to the next cake!
Thanks again for your amazing creativity and hard work to make his birthdays special. He went on to win the Tri for his age group. I think it might have been the cake that gave him the extra motivation??
I’ve being doing all my kids events with them, never disappointed .
Artistic Confections did a fantastic job with our wedding cake! Maria baked us two delicious flavors that were a hit with our guests. The design came out just as expected. It was a gorgeous cake, and I highly recommended the services at Artistic Confections.
Excellent customer service and awesome custom orders details.
Best cake shop in town!
