The crumb cake is exceptional, as is the rest of their bounty, but it's the sprinkle crumb cake that keeps me going back. Out of town guests devoured a mixed platter of crumb cake from here. They also have great seasonal twists with pumpkin and apple in the fall.

A Little Cake did an amazing job on our wedding cake! Their designs fit our vision perfectly, and they were very helpful in assisting us with finding the right size cake topper. Leo made the entire process easy from start to finish. The cake tasting was a fun experience, and we were so glad they let us do a tasting (most bakeries cancelled due to COVID). A lot of guests told us that it was the best wedding cake they ever had! Highly recommend- we will definitely be using A Little Cake for our future events!

I ordered a cake from them for my cousins bridal shower. They exceeded all expectations. The cake was delicious and of course it also looked beautiful. They made the cake look exactly how we wanted it to and couldn’t have asked for a better cake. HIGHLY Recommend using a little cake for any occasion.

From the moment we sat down for our tasting, I knew that A Little Cake was the perfect place to provide our wedding cake! The staff was so responsive as we made changes to our order and I even received a phone call the morning of my wedding to tell me the cake was delivered to my venue, and a sweet "congratulations" message which I really appreciated! I got married a week ago, and people are still talking about how delicious the cake and cannolis were!

We ordered our wedding cake from A Little Cake and it was excellent! Great service and they made the cake exactly how we wanted! It was a HUGE hit! One funfetti layer and one chocolate cake with chocolate mousse! Thankfully we only live 10 minutes away and will come back for all of our cakes in the future! Thanks again, A Little Cake!!!

I recommend EVERYTHING!!! My husband and I were married on October 16, 2021 and I first reached out to A Little Cake last year. They responded immediately and although I was way ahead of schedule, made an appointment for us and invited us in for a tasting. They were so accomodating and friendly and the moment we stepped into the shop we immediately… wanted to eat every single thing! We decided on a small cake top and a variety of cupcakes for our wedding. The cake and cupcakes were not only beautifuly decorated but were absolutely delicious! We took a box of leftovers along with our cake

A Little Cake exceeded my expectations!!! Not only was the cake designed exactly the way I wanted, but it was moist and absolutely delicious! The inside filling was a chocolate and vanilla cake with fresh strawberries and cream with a buttercream frosting. Thank you so much Leo!!!

I cannot say enough about A Little Cake. I have gotten pastries and cakes from here before and was so excited for them to design my sons birthday cake. They did not disappoint! It was everything and more I could have asked for! They were very easy to work with in designing the cake. Not only was the cake amazing and adorable it tasted as good as it looked!

I hate to leave a bad review because I have enjoyed their cakes several times in the past, but this was my first time ordering a custom designed cake and I really had a subpar experience. I ordered a 2 tier cake and 12 cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday party and was more than underwhelmed with both my experience with the company and the cake itself.

My list of concerns includes:
1) when speaking to the employees via phone I felt like they were uninterested and I was a bother. They were not very helpful or knowledgeable - for instance it was extremely awkward when I was trying to

I got the cake for my sister's "would be wedding day" from A Little Cake. She had her wedding scheduled for 2020, then the pandemic hit. She ending up postponed her wedding, then had to postpone it yet again. Myself and her other bridesmaids ended up buying them a cake so they could still celebrate the day. I am so happy we went with A Little Cake. We had ordered a lemon cake with a raspberry preserve filling and white buttercream frosting. It was amazing!! There was a lot of leftover cake so my sister and her now-husband let me have some and I've been thinking about this cake

Pretty much known for their over the top cakes. Move over buddy (cake boss). Also known for their crumb cakes if you like more crumb than cake this is your place 75% crumb 25% cake. I got their mini cakes and pastry. In pic is the Jurassic, strawberry shortcake, fresh fruit tart and lobster tail. Also good are their oversized pretzels. My favorite is the bacon cheddar. Only problem is that they only make pretzels on Saturday and Sunday.

A little confused at what this place is called, seems to have transformed a bit. However the baked goods are delicious. The crumb cake comes in huge slices with thick crumb layers and a lot of variety in type of crumb cake! They also serve breads and pies, there are cheese pretzels that are out of this world.

I was very disappointed in my cake for my engagement party. I had sent my mom to the store with photos to order it and explain what we wanted. She showed these photos of very light, neutral dusty colored flowers that I wanted on our sheet cake. The rest didn't matter so much to me- I just wanted to make sure the color of the flowers would match my vision and the rest of the decor. She was told they could do that, no problem.
Unfortunately I didn't see the cake until the day of the party, since it was being delivered to the restaurant for us. I was very upset to see that the flowers were

I've ordered occasion cakes from Le Petit over the last ten years, and never been disappointed.

Recently I've learned they've rebranded, and relocated, much to my surprised bc I had briefly moved out of the area. Their new location is gorgeous and bright.

I've returned as of late to order my wedding cake, and am beyond excited to have them make it for our special day.

Two weeks ago we stopped in and finally had the opportunity to try their crumb cakes! My absolutely favorite is the Red Velvet, with a thin layer separating the crumb from the cake. So luscious.
