Sweet Somethings

Lee was so helpful with our wedding cake! We sent him inspiration pictures for the design, and him and the team were spot on. Our guests kept talking about how good the cake tasted as well . We plan on going back to visit often!Food: 5/5

My family and I love celebrating. That being said this is our go to for custom cakes. Not only are the cakes beautiful, they are so delicious. I definitely recommend.Food: 5/5

I received a surprise birthday cake from my best friend. It was chocolate with vanilla buttercream and nuts. The cake was delicious. Everyone who had a slice raved about how good it was. This was my first dessert from this local shop, but it certainly won't be my last.

I ordered a carrot cake for a baby shower and it exceeded my expectations! I sent in a photo and brought in an arrangement and they did an amazing job! Everyone at the shower were blown away at how beautiful it was and it tasted heavenly! It was too sweet. I was so happy to have leftovers! We always go and get items out of the case and love them! This is the first time I had a custom cake made! This is definitely my go to bakery from now on! Wanted to give a huge shout out to the team that made our cake, we couldn’t have been happier!!! Thank you! I would love to add a photo but don’t see that option

Although we had a bad experience a few years ago we came back and gave them another chance. Sweet Somethings has made my kids’ birthday cakes for the last 6 out of 8 birthdays. They make beautiful cakes and this year was no exception. We LOVE the marble cake and it’s the go to birthday cake for my twins. We hope to continue the tradition for years to come.

My first visit to Sweet Somethings was last July when I needed an "emergency" box of cupcakes for a birthday I had neglected to get treats for. Ever since I have become a huge fan of this bakery. I work for a company in Wilmington and we order several dozen cupcakes once a month for that month's birthdays. Every single time I am asked where the cupcakes come from because the flavors are unique, incredibly tasteful and beautifully decorated. I personally meet Lee the owner every single time he drops the delivery off and he could not be more accommodating, friendly and professional. I was shocked when I read some of the 1 star reviews on here, especially when it came to special requests. Funny, a friend of mine just ordered $600 worth of cupcakes with a special request of how they will be decorated for a graduation party and Lee was more than willing to accommodate. This bakery is amazing! If a client would rather shop at the Acme, I say use that as your "get out of jail free card."

My favorite for just stopping by are any of the pound cake slices. I often pick up a personal pan cheesecake for unsuspecting friends. My mother used to make German chocolate cake for my birthday. I had been reminiscing for a few months and finally ordered one from Sweet Something’s… . Please don’t hate me for what I did see pic The cake was delicious! Perfect balance of ingredients. Other than the first legitimate slice, I ate the cake with a spoon as if it was a bread bowl. Thank- you for a wonderful cake!

If you need a cake on short notice, DON”T even bother with this place. Unless you order in advance, they only have available about 3 mystery cakes in their display and of course they are the most expensive sizes. So If you need a cake for under six people, you will need to buy a cake that will feed more like 20 since they only have their largest sizes available for same day cakes. In addition, even if you call in the day before the decorations go on the cake to request something simple, such as holding the sprinkles, they will not work with you. I myself do not care for services that are not flexible when I am spending my money. As far as the service goes, I was excited last year when this bakery went to a more diverse atmosphere. I believe that I even posted a review about it . Thats why I was so shocked when this same person walked away while I was literally asking her about what my possible options were for a cake for the next day. After telling me that there were none and that I can come back when the owner comes in, she just walked away and proceeded to go to the back of the store, while leaving me standing there at the counter. One of the other workers saw how baffled that I was and offered to assist me. Although she also explained that there were very strict limitations, she was still way more helpful and polite than the other girl. Nonetheless, I did go back the next day and picked up whatever they had available in the display case and I must add that this place seems to be getting more and more arrogant each time I come . As far as the cake is concerned, honestly, Ive gotten better looking and tasting cakes at the Acme bakery on 202 in Wilmington. The cakes in the display of Sweet Somethings Desserts are flavors that no one would probably order for a birthday cake or ones that they may not sell as much of such as white chocolate with a raspberry filling. Oh and just a little buyer beware disclaimer, The cakes that they have readily available in the display are made with the cheapest ingredients such as a ton of mousse in the middle instead of sweet rich buttercream, which is what most people traditionally want in a birthday cake. Since the cake that I bought from “Sweet Something Desserts” was nothing special, I ended up getting an ice cream cake from “Sweet Lucy‘s “to compensate, which is not too far from them and I was pleasantly surprised! Sweet Something’s Desserts are not the only act in town. Their cakes NOR their customer service are what it used to be, in fact they are starting to reek with dry sarcasm and rudeness. I buy cakes for all of my family members and friends all year around but this place will not be seeing me anymore. Ive included a picture of the inside of the cake. The chocolate is the tasteless mousse while the white is all the buttercream you get in the cakes from the display case and note there is absolutely no buttercream on the top so if you like buttercream instead of mousse, make sure you ask before buying because you might just have to go somewhere else. In addition, those cakes are straight from the freezer, thawed, and then decorated and so they taste freezer burnt 2 days after cutting it. Response: Speak on what I really said about Acme and your cakes! Acme cakes are comparable, if not better than yours and are right down the road from you. What do you not understand about me saying U NOW have a more diverse staff, since I did not notice this in the prior years? The cake was not decorated when i called the day before to ask you to HOLD the sprinkles, NOT ADD them. U said holding sprinkles was a special request & you did not accommodate that request. You are not important for me to go back & “ see ur point one”. In my opinion and with my money, i maintain that white chocolate raspberry is not a traditional flavor for a child's birthday cake. Sweet Melissa”s in Middletown has a variety of sizes and flavors for same day & way better customer service! And There’s no need for you to grant me permission to go there because I already did and it was great.

I have got to give credit when credit is due. This place has shifted the paradigm and sweetened my soul with their cupcakes if you have your house paid off, take a second mortgage out. The staff treated my family and me like we were the secret ingredient to a pastry. I will be eating one pastry delight every day like a multivitamin. Be well.

Sweet Somethings made my wedding cake and I could not have been happier with the final product! My two tier cake was made on time and tasted fantastic. We had the white chocolate raspberry cake for both tiers and asked for a "semi-naked" icing we added flowers and cake topper ourselves at the venue, but Sweet Somethings would have also done this detail as well if we wanted. They provided exactly what we asked- we received MANY compliments on the quality of cake as well as the design. Thank you thank you thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special.
