Not Just Cakes by Patty

Still best cupcake I gave tasted in Miami… Consistency jn hours is no longer an issue. Love their macarons as well.

Been visiting this place since they opened. Their cupcakes are amazing, and Patty treats us like family. She has helped me with my bridal shower, wedding, baby shower, and kids birthday cakes. My repeated trust in her has not been battered (see what I did there? ;). She always comes through. Thank you Patty!

So we are visiting from out of town, ordered a cake from her and she doesn’t deliver to our hotel, so we Ubered a pickup. Then the cake didn’t come in a closed box and its a two tier cake. Ok fine, time to cut the cake, so dense on the inside! On the upside it was a very pretty cake! Nicely decorated.

I was getting my nails done in the same shopping center and went for a munch. I tried their rum dulce de leche cake… Wow It was heavenly, very rich flavor. I loved it!

I’ve been waiting for over a week for a call back about a quote. I didn’t hear from her so I called her days ago which she said she would call me the next day but I have heard from her or had any missed calls or messages. I guess she doesn’t want my business.

I came to this bakery because the banquet hall I’m hosting my shower at uses them, I never was able to try to the actual product so the 1 star is only based on service. I went in all excited around 12pm on a Wednesday hoping they could make all the arrangements right then and there and they weren’t able too (despite the place looking like things were slow) the lady (Patty, I assume) wasn’t very friendly or welcoming she seemed bothered by my presence I felt uncomfortable on what was so suppose to be something exciting. I made an appointment and unfortunately wasn’t able to make it so I called 2 days later asking to reschedule and was not given a day when I can come in. I was told they’d call me back and I’m still waiting. I called today and I literally just hung up with frustration. They seem too busy to try to help you and accommodate to your schedule or help you by any means. Needless to say I called the banquet hall and they gave me another vendor I could use. I can care less how good the products at not just cakes are the customer service is horrible. They lost
A potential customer and endless recommendations that I could have given on their behalf.

My sister brought some cupcakes over for an afternoon of fatassness. Guava, cookies n cream, red velvet and dulce de leche. Wasn’t impressed by any. They were dense and dry. The red velvet was the only one that made me not hate them but still not good enough for a return visit. Sorry Patty, not great cakes by Patty should be the name of your game.

The one star I have SO GENEROUSLY given, is due to my cake being delivered on time. That’s all I can say in a positive light. I provided a photo of what I wanted. It was a SIMPLE design. It could have been done by anyone who had just completed any amateur cake-​making course. Most importantly, it was my WEDDING cake…
They had enough notice. They charged quite a bit. When I walked up to my cake at my reception, 2 things could be plainly seen and were quite the eye-​sore. The cake was shorter than expected because the 100 $ gold cake pedestal I rented was MIA (so someone placed flowers around the bottom at the venue so it didn’t look as unfinished as it did) ANDDDD the top tier which was supposed to be simple and completely plain (again, could be done by any amateur) had a giant hole at the top as though someone added a cake topper then removed it.
Finally, I was told that the gold lining at the bottom of each tier was missing (Patty forgot) and they added it right there on my cake table… WTF???
As far as flavor, the cake didn’t taste as good as it did at the tasting; definitely not as fresh, but the outside and presentation concerned me the most.
Bottom line?
It was overpriced and unnecessary.
Hopefully my patched up, ugly top tier doesn’t taste like death when I unfreeze it for my one year anniversary…
Also… DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE THAT IS TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED! UNBELIEVABLE!

The owner has the worse customer service skills ever. She does not return calls for orders and when she does she is rude and nasty. I rather drive out of my way to Mishas Cupcakes. At least they treat their customers with Respect!

I popped in here because of the rave reviews from various friends but I left disappointed and empty handed. It was a Saturday, mind you and they had about 8 cupcakes and 3 slices of cake. I am not exaggerating. The almost explicit purpose of my visit was to try the cake pops. there is a big sticker on the windows but there were none. Not one. Not even an old one. Not even one in the back. That’s just silly to me on a Saturday. Why even have the store open if there’s no merchandise? The cupcakes that the had were impish and unappetizing. I might try going again if I’m in the area but I may as well just go to Sweetness.

If I could give them — 5 stars I would…
I love cupcakes, and so I made the mistake of immediately buying a groupon without checking them out on Unilocal first. After I bought the groupon and went on Unilocal,I saw that they didn’t have the greatest reviews. After that I was not in such a rush to go pick up my dozen cupcakes…
One day when I was finally ready to try their cupcakes, I decided to call and make sure they were open, they said they were and I asked about my groupon. They said I could come in whenever and just pick out which cupcakes I wanted. About 3 weeks later I finally decide pass by and pick up my cupcakes (I don’t live anywhere near Kendall btw). When I walked in and mentioned my groupon, some girl said I had to call and order them in advance. MIND YOU It was like 5PM on a Saturday and they had more than enough cupcakes there… Obviously upset I left and decided to leave it for the end of October since that’s when I thought it expired.
Today I check my groupon and realized it expired October 20, 8 DAYS AGO. So I just called to see if they would be nice enough to extend my coupon (I would have picked them up today), and some extremely rude idiot girl said «NO».
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who forgot about their groupon. I paid $ 10 for those crappy cupcakes, and they basically stole my money. Hopefully, they get those $ 10 and buy better quality ingredients, because apparantely these are the worst cupcakes in Miami.
I would also like to mention how I once bought a groupon for cupcakes from another place and I never had to call and order them in advance. And this cupcake place was full of people (obviously they’re good), unlike this piece of crap who never had a soul in there (I’ve passed by).
The only cool thing about this place is that it’s 1 block away from Sweetness Bakeshop which is pretty much my favorite cupcake place ever. They are incredible. There’s always people in there (that says a lot). Their customer service is fantastic and the prices are perfect. Anytime someone asks me where to go for cupcakes, I always send them to Sweetness. Next time someones asks me for a good place, I’m gonna say, «go anywhere else BUT Not Just Cakes by Patty».
They need to hire new people, or maybe just close, because obviously «Patty» doesn’t know how to bake a good cupcake, let alone run a business.

I found Not Just Cakes by Patty through their groupon offer with the intention of using them for my wedding, however I was a bit hesitant after reading some reviews. I passed by one day and spoke to patty and we tossed some ideas around for my wedding cupcake tower. After trying some of their cupcakes and talking to patty I was convinced they would do a great job. I was so glad I went with them! They were excellent to work with and were prompt and informative with everything. I live out fo state so they were accommodating with my schedule. Patty made sure to follow up with every detail for the cupcake tower and my venue coordinator was super impressed with them as well and said they were great to work with. The cupcake tower not only looked great but tasted great! We had 3 flavors — banana, guava and red velvet and they were all very yummy! I would use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Patty!

I, too, found this place via Groupon. I must say, that it’s the first Groupon that I have used that the merchant made me jump through hoops. My first attempt at using my Groupon got me nothing, I had to call ahead. Okay, no biggie. It was prettry late in the day though, and they had lots of cupcakes on display. Maybe they were expecting a massive stampede of customers.
I called again and to set up an order. I was told the day that I could pick up, I was not asked what day «I» preferred. I was also told that I could p/​u b/​w 2 – 4 but I had to give them a specific time. OK. Um, maybe at 3:22 PM. Then I am told that the assortment was their choice. Dulce de Leche, Red Velvet, Chocolate, Oreo, Vanilla & Guava. OK, I’m pretty easy. And I just wanted to get it over with since I had already paid for it.
This is from Groupon:
Highlights
14 cake flavors & 13 fillings
Mix & match cupcakes
«A 12-​pack of baby cakes arrive in a myriad of flavors including vanilla rum, coconut, dulce de leche, and chocolate Godiva liquor, which customers can mix and match. The pintsize treats come stuffed with 1 of 13 sweet fillings, such as mango, blueberry, or poems from a secret admirer.?»
So, how were the cupcakes?
First let me tell you what I did get. Vanilla, Carrot, Guava, Oreo, Choc., and something else that I could not figure out. No Red Velvet which made me VERY sad! No Dulce de Leche either. The cakes were dry and none were filled except for the Guava which my husband said was okay and the filling added a bit of moisture. The oreo was also okay, not awesome though. I did not sense any liquor in ANY of the cupcakes. I am also not a fan of their frosting.
My husband said that they probably give Groupon folks the rejects. If this is the case, they are going about it the wrong way! The MAIN purpose of Groupon for the merchant is to generate business not lose business. If I don’t like it, I’m not coming back and I definitely won’t recommend.
I gave them 2* for the 2 okay cupcakes but I won’t be returning.

OK where do I start?!
I stumbled with the place thanks to Groupon. I love cupcakes and I’m always trying different places.
The store, like many cupcakes/​cake shops, it was clean, bright and girlie :)
I didn’t have much interaction with the staff because I placed my order over the phone and when I got there the order was ready and I just needed to show the coupon and done. But the little interaction I had it was nice. Friendly service, attentive and fast.
The flavors were:
Chocolate
Cookies and Cream or Oreo
Red Velvet
Vanilla
Apple (something I don’t remember well sorry :()
Guava
Caramel
I have to say that the only reason I’m giving this 4 stars and not 5 it’s because some of the cupcakes fell short. To start the chocolate one… hum, basic and classic right? This one wasn’t that good. It didn’t taste like chocolate in fact it didn’t have a taste at all. The frosting tasted like store bought. To make it short, chocolate, needs improvement. Same with the other «basic» flavors — vanilla + red velvet.
The apple cupcake, was too sweet. To the point that it was almost impossible to eat. I have to say that this one was my least favorite I didn’t enjoy it :(.
Now to to good part, MY FAVORITE!
The guava, caramel and Oreo, were amazing. So much that they erased the memory of the other flavors that felt short. Moist and very flavorful I will most definitely order this any other time. The flavor was in the cake and on the frosting and it was well balanced. Not too sweet and not dry at all!
Maybe the basic flavors didn’t measured up but since I’m not so much for the «simple» I will go back for the «fancy» ones!

AHH!!! If anyone is looking for a good cupcake, look elsewhere! YUCK!!!
These cupcakes were tasteless and very very DRY. I tried every single flavor after getting a cupcake sample deal from Groupon and the ONLY one I liked was the Carrot Cake. I was pissed too because I had purchased the groupon for the cupcakes and for the cake. So I had to use the cake Groupon after I sampled the cupcakes.
Guess what cake I got for my birthday? The carrot cake. The only one that remotely taste good at this place.
Ugh. I was definitely disappointed in this place and even let my other groupons go to waste because I simply did not enjoy their «cupcakes».

Horrible… simply horrible customer service. Purchased a Groupon and was treated like a second class citizen. Contacted Groupon and refunded my certificate, I will not purchase from this place.

Actually it doesn’t even deserve this one star either. I just bought a few cupcakes from here Guava, Dulce DeLeche & Red Velvet. Needless to say I took a BITE & SPIT it out right back! Nasty, Dry & Chalky! Yukkkkkkkk!
I completely agree with Mike R & Dora D.

My sister & I recently went in with a Groupon that we purchased. We ordered a cake for a babyshower and a dozen cupcakes. Patty was absolutely wonderful! She sat with us for as long as we needed to help us pick the design of the cake. I also tried her guava cupcakes and it was absolutely delicious! She places a piece of real guava at the top and real guava filling. I usually purchase my cupcakes from Misha’s cupcakes and must I say this guava cupcake beat their cupcake hands down! Loved the service and the cupcakes! Will definitely be ordering from them again.

I picked up a dozen normal size cupcakes today which I had purchased a great Groupon for 1 dozen of mini’s for $ 6. Meaning, they already upgraded me!
I brought one to my coworker; Guava. She calls me to tell me how AMAZING this cupcake is.
I later tried my banana and was in heaven. I heard from the store owner (I’m assuming she was the owner) that their best is Dulce de Leche. If there is better; I’m all for it! There are still 10 left to eat!!!
My cupcakes were ready on time. Store in sparkly clean. Prices (besides great Groupon) are very good considering local competitor’s. Highly recommend!

My husband ordered 24 cupcakes for my birthday this weekend and we absolutely loved them! The little bite-​sized treats are delicious. We tried the Dulce de Leche, Red Velvet, and Guava. The cream cheese frosting is amazing. I can’t wait to try the cake pops. Considering how much I love cupcakes and how many different places I’ve tried due to my work in catering, I was quite pleasantly surprised. We will definitely go back and try something different.
