"I have been doing with this business for several years and they have always delivered on quality and service. The cakes have all been custom and been exceeded our expectations on the look and flavor! I will definitely continue to shop here and suggest you do as well!! One of the best in the area and committed to excellence!"

"Sweet Temptations donated two pound cakes to be raffled for our pantry ministry fund raiser. They also set up a table with bake goods that were completely sold out. Some people purchased one item, and after tasting it came back to purchase more to take home. Also local college homecoming guest, employees, and alumni support all during the year. It's a taste that's like heaven dancing on your taste buds!!!!"

"This bakery was approached in AUGUST to place the order for this cake. This cake is EXTREMELY important because it's for an amazing person's sweet sixteen, which if you are unsure, only happens once in a life time. The baker of said cake claimed to have a cake ready by the time of the party came, which by the way, is at the end of December. Despite committed to baking the cake, the baker refused to take any down payment and told the family of this person that they would just need to submit the cake's design two weeks prior to the party... well here we are, and now this baker has a planned a vacation this exact week of the party despite the fact this order was in her folder with the family's contact information and still had no plans to tell these clients. This is not just unprofessional, but outrageous. What a way to run a business. If you are considering using this business for cake making, I suggest you don't even waste your breathe on attempting to communicate with the staff. They will not give you the same courtesy."

"DO NOT ORDER CUSTOM CAKE HERE. OWNER WILL DECIDE TO GO ON VACATION AND LEAVE YOU HANGING. We had a verbal contract for an event at the end of the year. 3 tier cake for 100 people. Went to the bakery more than 3 months in advance. Sat down had some cake while we waited for the owner to finish an order for another person (did not have an appointment, was told the wait would be about 30 mins, took over an hour). Explained what we needed, decided on flavors, gave a description of decorations desired. Was told a price. We even offered to give a deposit and was told it was unnecessary, and the owner put of information sheet in her binder under December. Was informed that she would need a final design plan and payment about 2 weeks before the event. Called to set up a time to come in with the design and finalize payment since we didn't have over an hour to wait on the baker again. When we called we were told the bakery was going to be closed that week because the owner was going on vacation and they never bothered to contact us, either about getting the design, payment, or their new plans to be unavailable. We even stressed at the first visit that we know it is the week of Christmas and wanted to make sure they were going to be available as another bakery we had talked to told us they close that week every year. The slices cakes we purchased the first visit were good. But very limited in selection. And then to have this experience and now have to try to find a new bakery less than 2 weeks before our event for a custom cake is an almost impossible task with so many other things to still arrange for our event, and Christmas in the middle of it all. So very frustrated. Will never go back here or recommend anyone else go either."

"Ordered 2 dozen special cupcakes for a retirement ceremony I worked. Don't know what were in those chocolate cupcakes but let's just say, between giving out directions and sharing the link, they were a big hit. Definitely will keep trying the deserts and getting my specialty made treats from here. She even accamadated my short notice and time constraints for pickup."
