Smallcakes Suwanee

We went in to Small Cakes for the first time for a small treat today. I am so glad we did! When you walk in, the place just smells like HEAVEN. Seriously, I am not joking. I wanted to solidify the smell and eat it. There are a few tables and chairs in case you want to hang out and eat your sweets there. The décor is very cute but not too cutesy. The crystal chandeliers and cupcake ornaments were very much chic.
It was really hard to choose one treat! My daughter bought a chocolate cake pop and I picked out a salted caramel cupcake. I have not eaten mine yet, but I will update when I do. The friendly woman working there drizzled a little extra caramel on top before she boxed it up for me in a very pretty pink box. My daughter says her cake pop was moist and super yummy. She wants to come back for a treat after we do a mommy/​daughter manicure next time.

We visited Smallcakes right after leaving Green Basil restaurant (walking distance away) just before Smallcakes was about to close for the night.
Since they were about to close, a lot of their display was taken up for the evening, but they were happy to serve us. I ordered one of their chocolate cake pops ($ 2 each) and one of their red velvet cupcakes ($ 2.99). I tried the cake pop in the store, which had a pink coated layer and chocolate center. The inside of the pop had the consistency of crumbled up cake, mushed together in a ball. So it was SUPER moist, and didn’t fall apart. I thought the flavor was pretty good, until I tasted a funny aftertaste.
I tried the red velvet cupcake the next day, and I really loved the cream cheese icing. The actual cupcake itself was moist as well, but again, really weird aftertaste. I’ll chalk it up to maybe being a slightly off batch, and will try them again, because they had other flavors I wanted to try, including:
Pineapple coconut
Chocolate cookie cheesecake
Lemon drop
coconut
Sinful caramel
Chocolate
There are a few tables in Smallcakes if you want to sit and enjoy, and the overall look of the place is fairly neat and clean.
I’m really hoping the next time I visit, they can bump up their star rating with me, because I enjoyed everything about them with the exception of their aftertaste.

Omg! I absolutely love their cupcakes! I stopped here after a business meeting & I’m so glad I did!!!
This company has been featured in USA today as well as the TV show THE VIEW!
I got a lemon drop cupcake & it was like biting into a fluffy lice of heaven! This is by far the best cupcake shop around! I will most def be back!!!
I love it!

Wow… I came here yesterday– HORRIBLE! The frosting tastes like something out of a can that you can get at the grocery store. A little over $ 6 for 2 cupcakes that weren’t even good. This was REALLY disappointing for us since we used to frequent their other locations (which are alot better!)
I asked the girl for a «filled» cupcake. She recommended the chocolate one with the fudge on top that looked like a Hostess treat. First off, there was NO filling. Secondly, the frosting tasted like canned, yuck!
I also ordered the wedding cake. The cake portion was moist & had a good almond flavor. Again, the buttercream on top was terrible!
My husband & I couldn’t even finish these. They were that bad. Maybe this location isn’t using the same recipes as the others. Worst of them!

I love it ! $ 3 per cupcake. 10% off when you buy 6! I love the red velvet ! Service is nice and cupcakes are pretty big.

First of all, as a Certified Fat Chick and a girl who bakes some damn good cupcakes of her own, I’m here to disagree with the people who claim these cupcakes or the frosting come from a box. Just because you find frosting to be too heavy or too sweet doesn’t mean it’s not homemade (or handmade). Trust me, it’s completely possible to make painfully sweet homemade buttercream — I’ve done it myself by accident.
With that said, I agree with the people who said that some of the frostings at Smallcakes fall flat. I tried the Caramel Turtle cupcake last week and the frosting on it was all sugar, all the time. Very little caramel flavor at all. Meh. Not all of the frostings are a miss, though. I’m a fan of the fudge frosting on the chocolate cream cupcake, and the cream cheese based frostings are pretty good as well. I’m looking forward to trying the peanut butter cream cheese frosting (on the peanut butter cup cupcake) next. A lot of it, in my opinion, is just personal preference — I’d prefer a little less sweet and a little more flavorful frosting, but I also live in the damn country and I think I’m in the minority there.
The cake part of the cupcakes, on the other hand, is very moist and delicious. Contrary to what some reviewers have said, these little cakes don’t taste like they’re from a box. The vanilla-​based cupcakes don’t have that sickly sweet, artificially moist quality to them you’d get from a mix, unlike some well-​loved Atlanta cupcakeries (*coughcough* Cami Cakes). They’re that good texture you get from using real butter and maybe some yogurt or sour cream to keep them from drying out in five seconds. Just sayin’.
The cake pops, though. Heaven on a stick, and I don’t even normally go in for that sort of thing.
I’m giving Smallcakes a 4 because while some of their cupcakes are a miss for me, the service is good and this is one of the best cupcake places in the area. Does it stack up to all of the non-​chain ITP cupcake boutiques? No, but it matches or beats all the chains ITP (about as good as Gigi’s and way better than the overrated Sprinkles and Cami Cakes). Also, the manager (owner?) is suuuuuuuper nice and is always looking for feedback and doing whatever she can to please her customers.
tl;dr version: Nice people work here. Best cupcakes you’ll find in these parts except Special Kneads.

Came here doing the middle of the afternoon in late October. It was pretty empty but I had a cupcake addiction at the moment. The small cakes cupcakes were so alluring. They all looked so delicious and I really wanted to eat them all. The cashier was really nice, she explained all the flavors and etc. to me. This was my first time here. I purchased 6 cupcakes because their was a deal going on. I think I saved $ 2 or something.
I ordered the:
— «Famous» Red Velvet: Delicious! I recommend.
— Birthday Cupcake: This was my little brother’s favorite.
— (2) Strawberries-​n-​Crème: My favorite! The strawberry and frosting were great together.
— Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake Cupcake: Not for me. Worse Cupcake ever. Weird Flavors.
— Carrot Cupcake: It was okay. I think I was tired of eating cupcakes at this point.
Overall, the cupcakes were moist, soft, and delicate. Each cupcake was beautiful. However, for the price, they could have been alot more umph to the cupcakes. I will not spend almost $ 20 on cupcakes again. I will probably just get 1 cupcake because my sweet tooth will have probably disappeared by then. These cupcakes are pretty sweet. Even a bit too sweet for my sweet tooth. If you do not have a sweet tooth, this place is not for you.

Thought I’d do someone a little different/​special for my wife’s birthday. Based on my experience today, this was a mistake. It’s very likely the word «mediocre» was first included in Webster’s dictionary specifically to define products like this, especially the frosting. It took me an hour to get there and back. Good thing gas is under $ 2.50/gallon… I don’t believe this franchise will be here in 12 months, particularly not @ $ 3/​cupcake.

The alluring exhibition of Smallcakes cupcakes behind the display case teases the appetite of hopeless chocoholics, addicts to caramel, and those weakened at the knees by red velvet cake. Here, your cravings will be satisfied. The cupcakes are decadent — moist; not dense, sweet; but not overly so, and artistically crafted with toppings and colors that correspond with the cupcake’s flavor.
The cost of sweet perfection came to just shy of $ 3/​cupcake when I ordered a dozen for a birthday party. Be on the lookout for the «buy a dozen cupcakes, get one free» coupon offered on their website when you place your order over the phone.
Curiously enough, the employees at this location seemed unsure how to honor this coupon, as if they had never seen it. Nevertheless, they did so. They also seemed rather confused on how to collect payment for an order placed over the phone. At first, they told me I could pay when I picked up my cupcakes. Then, they called me back and told me that payment had to be received 1 day in advance. For a simple operation, they were rather disorganized in that aspect of their business.
Still, I would happily return to Smallcakes as my «go-​to» cupcakery on the quality of their product alone.

I see most of these reviews going either way. Either they love it or they hate it. As for myself, I’m a fan, I went inside to look around and get a cupcake for my girlfriend with a friend and this very friendly and adorable girl came out from the back and greeted us. She was very knowledgable about the cupcakes, ingredients, and explained a chart on their wall that shows the daily cupcakes they have as well as the seasonal or daily special cupcakes they had. I’m indecisive so when it came down to two she suggested I take a seasonal one since they won’t be here long. I don’t know where this «artificial taste» stuff is coming from but I loved it. The cupcake wasn’t dry, the frosting wasn’t thick or bland. In fact it was almost too sweet and quite light. But not complaining. I had the pumpkin cupcake and my girlfriend had the wedding cake cupcake. Definitely a place to check out.

This place has soooooo many cupcake flavors. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any of the strawberry flavors when I got there, but the cupcakes were still delicious. I went here in to just buy a cupcake for a friend’s birthday, but ended up walking with two of my own. They are a little on the pricey side, but I’d say they’re worth it!

Not very pleased with their cupcakes. The frosting has a weird artificial taste and the cakes are very bland. Since this is a big franchise, it loses it’s attention to quality and good taste to focus more on mass production.
I purchased 4 cupcakes and would not recommend either of them. The customer service was fair. The prices are pretty high compared to other local cupcake shops.
There are other bakeries in the area that would be more pleasing to the palette. I do not recommend.

First… not a big sweets person. My daughter, however has a sweet tooth of a saber tooth tiger! So, for her 14^th birthday, I stopped by to see what they had to offer. The aroma of this sweet shop is intoxicating! The interior is very sparse, very pink, and could use a bit of reformatting. All the tables line one side of the shoppe and could be use some added décor. All this means nothing if your food brings the goods!
There was an other customer checking out, who was really helpful and enthusiastic about the cupcakes. She warned me of instant addiction! She was a trip! I ended up getting the birthday cupcake (duh), the wedding cake (which had a slight almond hint), the red velvet, and the cookies and cream. ALL were amazing! Moist, flavorful, well decorated, and just fun. Packaging was very cute too.
From a non-​sweetie, but a sweetheart… check it out!!!

Fantastic cupcakes and service! The chocolate cookie cheesecake cupcake was amazing! The sevice was great! After boxing my granddaughter’s and my cupcakes, she offered us each a mini cupcake of our choice. My granddaughter loves pink, and asked for pink frosting. She didn’t have one, but she made one just for her! I will definitely be back!

Icing of a lifetime atop standard white-​yellow-​chocolate cupcake as moist as can want. Awesome flavor, great staff, quality selection. I had the Peanut Butter Cup — icing tasted like smooth, sweet peanut butter, topped with Cups. Cake was dark chocolate and super moist. Definitely will return!

Prepare yourself for the cupcake of a lifetime! If there’s one thing this fat girl knows, its cupcakes! I have tried cupcakes from all over this country and this brand is by far one of my favorites.
I came in on a Wednesday afternoon after being very disappointed by another local cupcake place, so be pleasant surprised by the cute pink décor and the array of amazing looking cupcakes. I was having a particular craving for a chocolate on chocolate cupcake and nothing else would satisfy my hunger. I eyed the wedding cake and the red velvet, overlooked the chocolate peanut butter & the strawberry, and turned my noes up and the moon pie. Where oh where was my chocolate cupcake with chocolate fudge icing?
I asked the sweet girl behind the counter and she explained it wasn’t a current special they offered in their shop. what? What! WHAT?! I thought the world was going to end, my bottom lip started to quiver as I contemplated having to pick a different cupcake. My boyfriend, knowing how dramatic I am (as you can tell from my reviews) that me not getting this cupcake would be the end of the world, suggested another flavor. Now don’t get me wrong, all the other cupcakes looks awesomely delicious, but there is nothing that can beat this chocolate fudge.
The girl behind the counter was so sweet and said she could ask her manager about the cupcake and the manager (owner?) said it wasn’t on the menu at the time. Que hysteria. Bu the girl behind the counter was quick on her feet and offered to go make me one. What? A FRESH cupcake?! YES! Talk about service! I’m not sure I’ve ever been so happy in my life! She brought it out and it was perfect, the chocolate fudge icing sat perfectly atop a chocolate cupcake. I almost cried on the spot I was so excited. My boyfriend ordered a peanut butter and chocolate cupcake (which I stole a bite of and it was superb) and we went on our merry way.
Now the story didn’t stop there, he went back a few days later to get a cupcake to surprise me and low and behold the same girl behind the counter and the manager recognized him! They quickly offered to make me TWO of my special cupcake just for me! EEEEEE!
Can I just stop (collaborate & listen) and applaud this small business for their outstanding customer service. Not only did they make a fresh cupcake that wasn’t on their menu, they remembered my boyfriend when he came in and did it again.
Let’s just say they have a customer for life! And a little birdy told me they make wedding cakes so if that time ever comes I will be calling on them!

Fantastic!!! Friendly service & fabulous cupcakes!!! Cake was super moist, and there were plenty of choices. Kids loved it!

So I still haven’t visited this place but I’ve been craving cupcakes so I asked my husband to swing by here after he got off work to pick me up a few. It was around 7ish yesterday when he went and it sounded like they still had a good variety, (he called me to ask which ones I wanted). I asked him to get me a lemon drop, a snickers, and a red velvet cupcake. He got himself a birthday cake cupcake.
While the cupcakes are still moist, I found all 3 flavors to be meh. They all tasted like they came out of a box. The frostings were artificial tasting and way too sweet. Even my husband who is not picky eater said that his cupcake tasted like a generic cupcake from Kroger. Not too sure that I’ll be back.

Stopped by this cute shop yesterday cause I’d heard good things about it. The girl that helped me was so sweet and very enthusiastic about the cupcakes. I decided to try the chocoholic cupcake and it was amazing. Loved the texture of the cake and the icing. I’ve had cupcakes from other stores like this before, but this one was better than any others I’ve tried. I’m excited they are so close to us and I plan to use them whenever I need a special dessert for an event or if I just happen to have a cupcake craving! I highly recommend the place! I look forward to returning soon! :)
If they had a Facebook Business Page, I would be sure to «like» it!

Very good cupcake. Not an overload of peanut butter flavor, am one who doesn’t mind the overload though, so probably a nice compromise for many. The cake is very moist which is rare at some places come 2:30 in the afternoon like my visit. There options list looks awesome and based on this one we”ll be back. The maple bacon, snickers and carrot cake will be the next victims.
