Smallcakes

REALLY AMAZING CUPCAKES. I am a huge dessert person and walking here almost made me want to pass out from excitement. they had a huuuuuge variety of cupcakes and some that they serve on certain days. I ordered the wedding cake cup cake and my friend got the red velvet cupcake. Both were very fluffy and an even amount of frosting. It was about $ 4.00 for each cupcake and they come in a really cute carrying box. I remember the worker saying you could order them in 1, 2, 3, or 6. Definitely recommend.

Not sure but I think I have seen Small Cakes advertised on FB but I was driving on North Ave/​Rt 64 in St Charles and I noticed them. Kinds of torn on flavors… Wedding Cake, Lemon Drop and Chocolate Crème. I devoured the Wedding Cake… IT WAS SO MOIST! The almond buttercreme WAS NOT overpowering, not too sweet either. I could not believe it. I haven’t tried the others but I cannot wait. I will definitely be back tomorrow for the STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI!

Adorable shop with helpful staff, even right before closing. Love the packaging for to-​go items. However I thought the cupcakes were just okay. Cake was super moist (plus) but the frosting overly sweet. Had tried the Boston cream cupcake – hardly any cream filling, so a bit disappointed.

These cupcakes are so good it’s hard to choose, but whatever you choose you won’t be disappointed. My husband & I usually order 4 & split them so we can try different ones. The wedding cake seems basic, but it has almond flavoring in both the cake & the frosting– so good. Our other favorite is the peanut butter chocolate. They also make doggie treats that look like mini cupcakes & cookies. How fun is that?!

Tried Smallcakes for the first time, and had high hopes. To be completely honest, the cupcakes looked much better than they tasted. My friend said they tasted like cupcakes from the grocery store. I actually think hostess cupcakes taste better than these. For the price, I expect much tastier. Won’t be back.

Bought red velvet. It was hard on the outside and dry in the middle. Tasted like they had been left out for days. Have been to other locations for small cakes and it was great. So it def depends on who is running which location.

My daughter had a dance competition in St. Charles and we were driving by and when she saw smallcakes she said she had to stop there because she follows them on instagram. She got her cupcake and her milk and when she was walking back to the table it had dropped. She went back to tell them and they very rudely said they would go check if they could do anything and she came back without talking to anyone and said she just had to buy another one. The table next to us overheard the conversation and said that it was so rude what the employee did and when we went back to talk to them they said there was no manager there and that it’s not their problem. We bought another cupcake so our daughter who is only 12 could have something with her milk but we are never going back. Terrible customer service!

Delicious cupcakes and exemplary service. They also have a bounty of dessert options outside of cupcakes for those looking for something else.

I don’t know man. This is a tough cupcakery to review. On the one hand, the cupcake was probably the most not dry (aka moisssssssst, ugh) cupcake I’ve ever had and there was a good amount of frosting on it (probably too much for most, which is perfect for me). On the other hand, the cupcake didn’t really taste super chocolatey and the frosting was really airy and almondy… thing is, when I get a chocolate cupcake with buttercream frosting I’m looking for a big CHOCOLATE taste and thick yummy buttercream. This cupcake just didn’t deliver.
Don’t get me wrong, it was a good cupcake. And they have lots of fancier options that are probably delicious. But for the basic old black and white? Meh.

Honest review: only thing good was they were moist its a very cute shop but the cupcakes werent that good i think the cup cake trend is over

I am a fan of this place. I probably sound like a weirdo saying so but I felt like I was cheating on my girlfriend Molly. What makes it worse is I am pretty sure I will cheat again. …I have issues with cupcakes.

This is NOT the place to be if you’re on a diet or care about anything but shoving cupcakes into your mouth. I went here one day to bring home a few cupcakes for me and my husband to enjoy over the weekend. Parking was sort of a nightmare, but that’s true for pretty much all of Saint Charles.
I walked in and there was almost zero room to stand, and I was the only one there. I can only imagine how cramped it is when it’s busy and full of fat-​asses like me. There’s a row of cupcakes to the right of the entrance. I wasn’t sure which ones to try so I asked them what their most popular flavors were. I was informed it was Wedding Cake and Caramel Crunch. I got those and a few others (in retrospect, I should have just gotten WC and CC, because these cupcakes are ENORMOUS and after eating them, my ass is now ENORMOUS). I also got a small dog cupcake for my corgi.
I was very pleased with the quality of the cupcakes. They weren’t too sweet and had the right frosting-​to-​cupcake ratio (this is CRUCIAL). My dog loved the pupcake, or at least, I think he did since he practically inhaled it.
Cupcakes are around $ 3.50 a piece. One is more than enough to share with your sweetie or eat by yourself while binge watching bad TV on Netflix. Your secret is safe with me.

I would like to start by saying… these are dangerous, but in a good way! I say dangerous because I live right down the street and I find myself stopping by almost every week for at least one cupcake. Having had my share of cupcakes from downtown Chicago to St. Charles, I have to say that these are the best! I used to be a die hard fan of Sprinkles, because I loved the rotating flavors and the size, but Small Cakes has them beat. Small Cakes also offers rotating flavors and their cupcakes are crazy moist. The cakes are just the right amount without the steroid look and the buttercream frosting is perfect and also, just the right amount. I also love that this establishment is part of the Hometown Rewards. It’s an app that you download to your smart phone for deals in the area. Small Cakes offers a punch card edition and after so many punches, you get one free! How many free cupcakes have I had? I’m not telling.

I really really wanted to love this cupcake. I chose the peanut butter and chocolate one because the description said «cream cheese frosting» which is my favorite. When I took a bite it was like overly sweet rich caramel with very little peanut butter taste. I was hoping for that light and fluffy frosting with lots of peanut butter flavor. If you’re into that it will definitely make your taste buds happy!

What a perfect way to finish off a great dinner night out with the hubby.
They have gluten free choices and I really appreciated that even at the end of the day and on a holiday weekend there were full choices of flavors and treats.
We thought there would be only a few left at the end of the day– but HUGE surprise– all filled in!!!
We did see a couple just stop in and see what they had– PEOPLE, buy a cupcake for goodness sake! You won’t regret the massive calorie binge!!!

Adorable cupcakes brought to me courtesy of my friend! My chingoo brought me two cupcakes for dogsitting her pup this past weekend. Baked goodies are the best form of payment!
Chocolate Cream: chocolate cake filled with our signature buttercream topped with our signature fudge frosting with a dollop of buttercream. And this dollop of buttercream makes the cupcake look strangely like a hostess cupcake. It even has the filling in the middle. Tasty treat!
Choco-​holic: chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream topped with valrhona chocolate sprinkles. So.Much.Chocolate!!!
Both cupcakes were good with fairly moist cake and fairly good frosting. The shop is open Sundays which is a big plus! Every day they have some special seasonal flavors. Mmm Mmm Mmm!

Love the décor in Smallcakes! So Pinterest-​y! Yes the store is arranged oddly but they did great with the space! My kids love it! From the barrels to the tables, to them having coloring books and crayons to keep the kids busy. I love the cupcakes! There was even a day I snuck over and got four cupcakes all to myself! The ladies behind the counter were very kind and helpful. It’s in my hood so you know I’ll be back!

Enjoyed my first trip to Smallcakes in St. Charles. The employee on duty was extremely friendly, explained all of the different cupcakes to me– and all of them were beautiful and looked delicious. We decided to choose four different cupcakes– I think the pink vanilla was my favorite. One of the four cupcakes was a little dry– but the other three were moist and unique. I will definitely head back again to try some of their other varieties– they seem to change what they are creating very often.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon with my boyfriend. We were walking around St. Charles because we thought it looked so cozy. I love gourmet cupcakes, so I was ecstatic to see a cupcake shop!
Smallcakes is a lovely little shop decorated all over with pink and chalkboard signs. The tables are designed to look like barrels with a tabletop, and the chairs are rather uncomfortable – they were metal barrel-​like seats.
We walked in through the back and the storefront was arranged nonsensically. There is really only room for two people to stand in front of the cupcake display. It kind of curves toward the window, making it extremely difficult for more than two to browse the cupcakes. I felt like I was being pushed against the glass entrance because there were three children and two adults in front of me.
I asked the woman behind the counter what the most popular cupcake was, and she recommended the «Caramel Crunch». So I opted to purchase one to share with my boyfriend! The cupcakes are $ 3.25 a piece and I believe $ 36 for a dozen.
We ate the cupcake in the store and it really was nothing great. The chocolate cake tasted nothing better than something store bought or made from a box. And the caramel topper was a weird consistency that was too too sweet. I must admit that the caramel topper was delicious with the pretzel, but the cupcake was just subpar and disappointing. The children before us seemed to enjoy their cupcakes a lot, though!

My husband and I were looking forward to this bakery because A) it’s new and B) cupcakes. The shop is cute, and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, cupcakes were subpar.
My cupcake was an interesting idea; a «fall cupcake». It had pumpkin and pecans in the batter, and sweet potato frosting with dried cranberries on the top. It was tasty, though the cake was a little stale. As in, the top of my cupcake was hard. I tried my husband’s cupcake; a red velvet staple. Well… the whole thing was stale, through and through. The frosting was hard as well. It seemed as though it had been sitting out since yesterday or something. As far as taste goes, it was not red velvet. Ok, sure the actual cake part of the cupcake was red velvet. However, the frosting was not cream cheese frosting nor buttercream. It was just sort of a weird frosting paste.
We would like to return and have a better experience. I would like them to do well, but they have to turn out a better product for that to happen.
