Minnie’s Sweet Temptations

The cupcakes were not what I expected. The taste was alright, but I definitely have had better– they were dry. The two stars is because the design was not cute. From a professional, I was expecting the design to be perfect. They were not. Every single one of the cupcakes looked different and not in a good way. However, Minnie was really sweet but I expected more. I will post a picture of the final product.

I had a terrible experience with Minnie’s Sweet Temptations. Like many other reviewers on this page, I brought a Groupon for this company. I called and tried to place an order in February, they wouldn’t take it for the time I wanted because they were booked. I placed a order for March, they called me a couple days before they were suppose to deliver my order and told me they could no longer do it because a family emergency popped up. Minnie promised to honor any weekend of my choosing. So I was fine with her canceling my March order. I told her that I would call back to set up a new date, I called over 60 times and left many messages the last three months to set up a new order and they STILL haven’t returned my calls.

I would give this business a negative rating if I could! I purchased a trubates coupon for two dozen mini-​cupcakes. I didn’t have a problem with placing my order… the problem arised when it came time to «show & prove» and what was proven was that SHE COMPLETELY SUCKS AS A BUSINESS OWNER!!! Not only did I get a call to reschedule my order for ONE MONTH OUT (it’s funny that I was the one accomodating them – it should be the other way around) But then one week later, I get a call from her «assistant» who informs me that due to health reasons Minnie will not be able to fulfill my order and that I should be getting a refund within two weeks. Well that was back in February and it is now May and I still do not have my refund. Granted it was less than 20 $ but I’m solely going on principle now. I’m sure she no longer is in business, well at least I’m hoping she’s not at any rate.
She sucks!!!

If I could give this place negative stars like the rest of them I would. The A-​Hole who talked to my mom on the phone, told her that his mother was ill and that they would call in a few weeks to refund her money because they couldn’t fill her order. When she asked why he couldn’t take her info for a refund now he said he couldn’t deal with this now. UH SERIOUSLY? You jack-a$$…you’re so lucky that I didn’t answer the phone, cuz I would’ve ripped you a new one! This is following the initial phone call when we tried to place an order, the piece of crap that answered the phone told us that he couldn’t fulfill it until the following month and if we needed it so bad we should just go to a bakery and then hung up on us… have fun dealing with the better business bureau douche!

After posting this review I was contacted by the company. They offered to try to reschedule for one month from the originally scheduled date. Considering that I scheduled 2 months early for the original date and it was never made, and then another month passed before they say they could possibly deliver again, I’m glad to have passed on this company. Unfortunately my 1 star review stands, there are much better, more professional and timely options out there.

Purchased a groupon awhile ago. Called several times. Left a message the first time, got back to me about half a week later. Says orders will have to be placed at least a month in advance. Called back again a month later to place an order, now the voicemail box is full. No website as stated by other reviewers. I will have no choice but to contact Groupon for a refund. This is not a professional business establishment given the way it is managed and run.

Called several times… Never got a response. The site mysteriously disappeared as well. These people do not know how to keep a business going. Reading the reviews similar to my experience made me realize I don’t even want their cupcakes. I contacted Groupon and got a refund, I suggest those of you who still have a groupon to do the same.
Try «Fairycakes» — they respond, FAST!

I’m surprised a lot of these 5 star reviews haven’t been filtered. I cannot understand why a place like Minnie’s has a 4 star average, let alone why they are still in business!
I too bought a Groupon for a dozen cupcakes and like many other reviewers had a terribly difficult time getting anyone to contact me back. Their website was down for about a month, and then I found out they only operate on weekends. When I finally got someone to call me to place an order, only then did they tell me that I could only choose from two or three flavors using my Groupon, it was basically down to vanilla or chocolate. They wouldn’t even humor me and do a half and half, so I ordered a dozen chocolate cupcakes (bc the man on the phone said they were the most rich in flavor.)
The entire idea of «delivery only» cupcakes is beyond me. Originally I had planned to deliver them to my work, but because they only deliver on Saturday or Sunday, that was out of the question… I wanted to avoid the $ 10 delivery charge, so I had to drive out of my way on my day off to pick them up in some back alley parking lot. Admittedly, I was late to pick up my delivery and Minnie was gracious enough to wait around for me to arrive… SO, I was willing to forgive everything as long as these cupcakes were as good as everyone was raving about.
I excitedly opened the box as soon as I got in my car, but was disappointed to find a dozen TINY cupcakes, each with a glob of hard frosting sitting atop a stale cake that didn’t even taste chocolatey. The texture of the cupcake felt like it had been made a week ago! I really wanted to like them, but these cupcakes had no redeeming qualities, aside from looking cute. Totally not worth the price, or inconvenience, just go to Sprinkles or even Safeway.

I wish I could rate with negative stars. This company is ridiculous! First try: I bought a groupon in Sept. tried to use it in October for my son’s birthday (the reason I purchased it). They were not accepting new orders because of how many people were using the groupons and had blackout info on their website.
2^nd try: I emailed with the owner in December to inquire if I could use it in April a few weeks past the expiration. She said no.
3^rd try: I called today to place the order so I can donate the cupcakes to my kid’s school for a special fundraising event. I gave them 3 weeks notice for a March 1 or 2^nd delivery for 3 dozen cupcakes. The rudest man called me back and said they can only do an order 10 days later on March 11^th. I asked him «do you only bake once a month or something?» this is now the 3^rd time I’ve tried to use this groupon. He basically hung up on me.
Their website is non-​functioning, their staff is horrifically rude and I hope they go out of business soon.
My next step is to lodge a complaint with Groupon. Hopefully Groupon will stop associating with this flaky organization.

Great service, I highly recommend the banana cupcakes, yum!

I have tried to contact them 4 times through their website and have not received any response. I bought a groupon and thought I could use it. Please call or e-​mail me back!

Minnie rocks!
She is incredibly accommodating, kind, reliable, and she DELIVERS!
She very cheerfully met my (very) last minute request, and communicated often and reliably. Her cupcakes were delish.
I would recommend her highly.

When I called Minnie to place an order she was so nice and sweet. She was very helpful in helping me decide the type of cupcakes I should get for my daughter’s birthday party. She also was willing to deliver to Sunnyvale for us. However, when I received the cupcakes the frosting on more than half of the cupcakes were melted therefore out of shape. I was bummed because they were for my daughter’s 1^st birthday. If the frosting did not melt I am guessing the cupcakes would have been really cute. Maybe the cupcake was inside the delivery car for too long that’s why it melted (it was a hot day).

I had bought a Groupon, and e-​mailed Minnie in September. She quickly e-​mailed a response, telling me that the day I wanted was already booked. From mid-​September until the morning of the delivery, Minnie had great communication from e-​mail to phone correspondence!
Quite a few things (on my part and my recipient’s schedule) got in the way of the delivery time I wanted, especially because the delivery was a surprise. My boyfriend, the delivery recipient, lives in a gated apartment community, so I had to figure out where she could deliver the cupcakes! I contacted Minnie several times during the last week before the delivery, and had made a few requests (like hiding the cupcakes somewhere in an obscure location around the Leasing Office so nobody would steal them because the office didn’t open until two hours later!). She called me when she made the delivery, and left me a voicemail letting me know that she had left them by some bushes. LOL! It was perfect for my crazy requests.
I felt so bad, but she was perfectly accommodating and cheerful everytime I spoke to her. She even called me around the time I told her I would be able to pick up the cupcakes to see if I got them okay. For customer service alone, I give her 5 stars! It was a very pleasant experience. As for the cupcakes, I haven’t tried them, yet, but my boyfriend said they were delicious. They turned out really cute, too! :)

Never heard of Minnie’s until I bought a groupon. We got some cupcakes for an event and they were really good. They were fresh, tasty, and she delivered them to our home.

I agree with a customer review by name Terry. I had a similar experience too. The trubates deal that I bought this with asked to give a minimum of 48 hrs advance notice on my order and when I called, they would neither answer my phone nor reply to my emails. They were booked as far out as 3 weeks, and I had bought about 48 cake pops for my son’s 3^rd birthday from trubates! Such a waste of my money when I have no job :((.
When they don’t have the scalability and operational efficiencies to handle a lot of orders, then why advertise their deals?

Found Minnie’s Sweet Temptations at Trubates. I ordered rocky road cake pop and banana mini cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (her recommendation). It was delicious. The banana cupcake was moist and not too sweet (just how I like it)!
The rocky road cake pop was also excellent. When I first got the order, it was kinda melted. It was a hot day when they delivered. I put it in the fridge for few minutes and the texture was so much better…
Will definitely recommend to friends and family…

Found Minnie through a Trubates deal and ordered 5 dozen of cake pops for my cousin’s engagement party. She knew exactly what I was looking for and even made some recommendations on how the design should look. I was so pleased with the cake pops by Minnie, they were a huge hit at the party. You know something is good when everyone asks for the baker’s contact info. Try her carrot cake pops, that was DELISH! Thanks Minnie for the great work! I will definitely call you again for my next party :)

I had Minnie do the cake for my daughter’s 5^th birthday and couldn’t have been happier. I didn’t give her much direction and was hoping for the best… and she delivered!
I asked for 20 cupcakes, a flower design, and for there to be a little bit of pink. I was also super stoked because she delivered all the way to San Bruno! The cake was super cute and tasted great. You could tell by the taste that it was homemade and not one of those supermarket cakes. It was a nice change! My daughter was thrilled and thought I was super cool for getting her such a great cake! It doesn’t get much better than that!!!

I got one for my wife’s birthday. hmmm hmmm hmmm, oh yah! The chocolate cake was awesome. Minnie was proactive in asking if there are any design details I wanted incorporated in the cake.
I highly recommend Minnie’s Sweet Temptations if you want a good cake to complement your occasion.
