Nana's Tiny Cakes was founded by Jonette Molyneux in 2010 to provide greater Vancouver, Portland with a tastier cupcake. With the help of a few great friends and family she opened their retail location in July of 2013. They served Vancouver and the surrounding area with cupcakes and other tasty treats.
Weddings were their passion and they loved working with brides to provide a beautiful tasty alternative to wedding cake. We were a regular customer who looked forward to our next event so we could give Nana a call and place our order. Cupcakes were out new go to for all of our event. In early 2020 Jonette decided it was time to retire and take time for family and enjoy the world outside of working full time.

My favorite cupcakes ever.
The Coconut is dreamy-Can't go wrong with any flavor, however.
NaNa's has made our family custom cakes for birthdays and graduations. I've take cupcakes to staff for treats. Always a hit!
The owner is kind, willing to try funky designs/creations, large variety of flavors and always on time with orders.
Cakes are flavorful-perfect consistency (never dry). Frosting does not leave you with a shortening coated mouth. I'm guessing she uses butter.
GFree options available when asked.

I have a story to tell! I live in Los Angeles and my dear niece has breast cancer and lives on a rural farm in Ridgefield, WA. It was her birthday today so last week I looked for a place that would deliver a special birthday surprise to her. I found Nana's on google and contacted them. They responded immediately and today deliver the most beautiful cupcakes to our niece! I can't thank Nana's enough for going the extra mile to make her day special. You MUST go and support this wonderful business. Thank you Nana's for your kindness! They look fabulous and my niece is so happy

In search of gluten free dessert and Nana's came to the rescue!
There weren't many options in Vancouver, but I'm glad Nana's was only a few miles away. I needed some dessert ASAP for a work potluck and they responded instantly.
They have mini and regular cupcakes (mini = $1.25 and regular = $2.25). I opted for mini cupcakes because it's easier to eat and I can get more variety that way. I ordered about two dozen and they did a lovely job with the assortment as I had different flavor cakes and frosting.
Their business page says open 10 to 5pm but they will gladly accommodate

Nana's Tiny Cakes are not only the best tasting cupcakes in the area, but they are truly a company that serves their community selflessly. Twice, Nana's Tiny Cakes has gone above and beyond for me without me even asking. Once, I called ahead to set aside some cupcakes for my mom's birthday. Since they didn't have one of the flavors I asked for, they offered to make it same day even though I only wanted two of them! Another time, I was planning to put together a little Veterans Day gift basket for our Veterans and when I asked if it would be possible, she said absolutely! After agreeing she asked

Delicious! My sister and I ordered two dozen mini cupcakes for a baby shower. When we picked up the order, we asked for another two dozen and were able to choose many different flavors from the case. They were a huge hit and delicious! My favorites were the kahlua and the vanilla, but honestly there wasn't a single one that I didn't like. They weren't at all dry and were full of favor without being too sweet. We will definitely use them for other special occasions.

I have been going to Nana's Tiny Cakes for about a year now and they are fantastic! I always purchase these cupcakes to handout to customers through my work and everyone who eats them absolutely loves them. Not only are their cupcakes amazing, their customer service is incredible as well. I have always felt so welcomed coming into this shop by everyone that is working. They start you off and leave you with a big smile. Couldn't be happier with this business :)

Both my husband and daughter have January birthdays. They were in Vancouver visiting relatives while I was stuck home in Seattle. I knew a birthday dinner was happening at cousin's home, so I went online the morning of the party to find a birthday cake. I happened upon Nana's and called at 10am. A friendly, helpful young woman named Kylie said she could put together a "cupcake cake". Four hours later, a friend in Vancouver picked up the cutest arrangement that had both my daughter's and my husband's names along with "Happy Birthday!" written on it. So cute

Super cute, clean shop with friendly service. When I went in there were 10 different cupcake flavors in regular and mini-sizes available for purchase (coconut, red velvet, carrot, peanut butter and jelly, cookie dough, etc). I got one of almost all of them to try, and their frosting is amazing (not too sugary, but still creamy and sweet).

Nana's is a solid cupcake place. The selection is a bit smaller than I would've liked, but she did have 9 flavors so I could be missing the the mark. The cakes were a bit dry, but I was there later in the day. The frosting is on point. Seriously, some of the best I've had. And they are starting to provide more gluten free items. I had two gluten free cupcakes and they were delicious.

If you are gluten free this is not the bakery to go to. I was very excited to try this place but when you purchase them, they are rock hard because they are from the freezer. I gave it a few hours to thaw but the vanilla, and chocolate cupcakes still tasted like sponge. I wasn’t able to continue eating them and def the worst gluten free cupcakes I’ve ever tasted. I still gave this a 3 star because the carrot cupcake was good and the service and atmosphere was nice. I also haven’t tried any of their other treats but prices seem reasonable

I love Nana's! The ladies are so friendly and helpful. They have saved me with their sweet treats many times in the last year. I have done a bridal shower, birthday parties, gifts, and just a quick pick me up. I have had the tiny cakes and cookies. The boxes for the tiny cakes are perfect for safely transporting them and the 6 pack is clear so the presentation is beautiful. I have tried all the flavors and they all taste great! Plus I am happy to be supporting a local business.

Really cute shop, but of the six types of cupcakes we tried sadly they were dense and much drier than normal.
The frosting varieties were good but noticeability sugary. You know when flavor is lost in sugar?
There was no chemical taste like in a grocery chain bakery type of frosting, but we were surprised how the different types were so dimly flavored. Except for the Carmel one, that was a good subtle mix. Very nice.
The chocolate leaned towards bittersweet which may have been intentional, not sure.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cupcakes at Nana's Tiny Cakes. They are so tasty and the perfect size to satisfy a sweet tooth--I recommend the small peanut butter cup ones but honestly I can hardly keep my hands off of any flavor.
I have ordered from this place many times--for friends and family and for patients of my chiropractic office.
Also they make a great gift to a friend, family member or business--makes a wonderful impression in the 6-pack or dozen configurations. Also the logo cookies (yes business people, they will put your logo on cookies) are so memorable and make a great impression.
