Quality ingredients equals a quality product, and we use organic and local ingredients when possible, though sometimes, we do pay homage to our Southern roots, and aren't afraid of a little (make that alot!) butter, a candy bar, or even some bacon. Playing with flavors and making you happy are top priorities for us, and we hope that you enjoy the ride through our culinary cupcake journey.

I love this place, the olive oil cupcakes are to die for. I told my boyfriend about this place and he got there just after closing and noticed someone still in. Being the thoughtful partner that is, he pleaded that they make one last transaction for his girlfriend in San Francisco that loves their cupcakes. He came home with a nice haul and it completely made my day! Thank you Teeny cakes for the delicious cupcakes and amazing customer service!

Horrible experience. I had items in my cart and when I went back in to place the order it automatically moved it to the next weekend. No flexibility on cancelling or changing the day. If they sell out why would it be a problem to cancel an order to free up space for another customer? Cupcakes were for a birthday, now $45 is down the drain! I live out of town and have now way of getting cupcakes on the following weekend. Very frustrating especially since this could be a simple fix. ZERO STARS.

Dude!!! Shout out to Teeny Cake in Novato. 
I have had their sugar cookies and rice crispy treats at the farmers market. It is right by our house and we walk by it regularly.
We got both of Shiloh‘s smash… cakes and cupcakes for his birthday. They were beyond delicious. Dense, moist, the cake itself had an amazing but subtle flavor. We had multiple frosting flavors on our cupcakes and they were absolutely delicious!!!!!

Teeny Cake is a cute location and in the past, I have stopped by on many occasions. It's great to give a box of 4-tiny cakes. I love to present the little box of delicious looking frosting. That being said, the tiny-cakes are more often dry than moist. Since the ratio of frosting is more frosting than cake, the cake must be moist.
The location is darling and the backroom is fantastic for small gatherings. The cost of the room is pricey and I never saw anyone use the space. The owners would not negotiate on pricing and would rather see it empty than give a discount to a nonprofit.

Delicious cupcakes and great service! I called on Wednesday and placed an order for cupcakes to get delivered in Novato on Saturday afternoon. Everything was flawless, and the cupcakes were beautiful and amazingly good, especially the confetti flavor! Thank you Teeny Cakes for being open during this time and adding something special to my birthday!

Please do all you can to support this wonderful local Novato business! I am in the healthcare field and my wife suddenly became a homeschool teacher to three busy kids a couple of weeks ago with the school… closures. I contacted Michelle at Teeny Cake just a few days ago to see if she could do a simple chocolate cake for my son Jack’s 8th birthday. I explained to Michelle that Jack wanted a camouflage cake for his birthday (he is really into hunting and fishing), so at home we were going to try to mix some food coloring with some frosting and do our best attempt at a camouflage chocolate

Teeny Cake has always been our favorite choice when it comes to sweets and cupcakes! We moved here from NY and it's been been a tough competition finding a place that can compare to some of the bakeries in NY. However, once we visited Teeny Cakes we were all hooked. In fact, we bought a friends daughter whom lives in San Rafael some cupcakes from Teeny Cake and she became hooked! She would come all the way here just to have cupcakes! She even had her birthday party there with some friends!
Fast forward to 2.5 years later, we had a baby and Teeny Cakes made our Smash cake for our son&apos

Teeny Cake' staff is wonderful to work with to create lovely treats. When my son wanted to ask his girlfriend to the Senior Prom, they designed a beautiful decorated cake with his invitation iced on top of it. Of course she said “Yes”…very enthusiastically! Not only do her cakes look great, but they’re delicious as well. Her cakes are perfect for busy people who have baking skills and want to delight guests at gatherings.

Have a birthday, wedding, or dinner party coming up soon? Need sweet treats? Teeny Cake is the place. We love our teeny cakes and cookies! If you have yet to try them, you must stop by and pick some up. They also have a great gathering/party rooms for your special events. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone who is looking for the best cakes and cookies in Marin.

This bakery is legit! I stopped in yesterday to visit a friend in Novato and was warmly greeted by Jack (the Customer Service Specialist). I met the owners--Kevin and Michelle. They are delightful and easily assisted with my selections. I had 2 gluten free (GF) cupcakes (Hummingbird and Chocolate Vanilla) along with a Vanilla Latte. The latte was excellent (not too sweet--they make their own vanilla syrup...WHOA!) and the cupcakes were excellent! Michelle sure knows how to make GF cupcakes! Many GF cakes/cupcakes are dry and not that flavorful--not at Teeny Cake!

I can Not eat cupcakes from other places now. The cakes are moist and the toppings/ frostings are flavorful without tasting like just sugar.
Michelle is the cupcake Queen 👸🏻 always greeting us with her warmth and Jack is the prince 🤴 that my son Lukas likes to give huggies to.
Don’t miss their special holiday cookie decorating parties!

I ordered my daughter's 7th birthday cake and cupcakes from teeny cake. Great decision! I went in to get suggestions on what I should order and the staff were so helpful! We decided on a 6 inch cake and 4 dozen minis. I asked if they could do a chocolate cake for the 6 inch in a pink ombré design and they said they could do that. I wanted a mix of chocolate and strawberry cupcakes. Strawberry cupcakes are a special order, so you have to order at least a dozen for them to make them for you.
Everything was ready on pick up day. The cake was stunning! It made my daughter soooooo happy! The

Bought a 12 pack/ $35 of tiny cakes (larger variety) about the size of a cupcake in 1 of every flavor. They made a lovely hostess gift and were nicely packaged. Also had 2 teeny cupcakes: strawberry and vanilla olive oil. Both were tasty with olive oil being my favorite. Only downside...cake was a little dry but definitely would try again.

I love this place! They are friendly, their product is amazing, and the store is clean and inviting. They also offer quite an array of gluten-free options. I highly recommend this bakery. They have been open for about a year and this morning I went in to buy a gluten-free cupcake for my mother. Go visit them today. You'll not be disappointed.
