Cupcakes for the teachers at Newark Middle School last year were an absolute hit. Beautiful, not too sweet, amazing flavors. Thank you Minia's Bake Shop!

Amazing design and great taste! I would definitely go back. We communicated via email and it was smooth. The cake wasn’t too sweet or heavy. We loved it!!

Extremely happy with the communication , ordering , and the CAKE. All of guests were really happy with how the cake tasted so light and good. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for ordering the cake to Minia's bake house.

So glad I chose Minia's bakery for my son's party animal themed birthday party. Ordered it through email and the process was seamless. I just send her few pics and ideas of how I wanted the cake to be. So happy how it turned out. Cupcakes were delicious fluffy, just melts in your mouth and not too sweet. Birthday cake was single tiered, we picked chiffon vanilla with strawberry filling -- too delicious. Reasonably priced and I love how responsive they were and very accommodating on all my requests. Bonus - My son loves those animal toppers we used for the cake. All he wanted was to hold them after cutting the cake.

Guava cupcakes were delicious and they also gave free candles. Every body loved the cupcakes including the pup it up staff. 10/10 would go again.

Sorry for the late review! I ordered a custom Winnie the Pooh cake on short notice for my wife's birthday last November. Since the celebration was earlier than planned, I had to look for someone who could accommodate my request. Jennifer and her sister was very nice and even suggested a couple designs. I asked if they can mix and match toppers and design to make what I pictured happen, and they did much more! The design of the cake itself was wonderful and very well made. The writing had a cartoonish feel to it which my wife complemented as it made it look more like straight out of the cartoon. The taste and texture of the cake is amazing. Got Vanilla with fresh strawberries. It was very light and moist. This was a very wonderful experience. Will definitely be coming back in the future! Thank you!

This was the first time I ordered a customized cake so I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully, the overall process was very smooth. I emailed them with a description of what type of cake I was looking for: a pink birthday cake with a butterfly design. They promptly responded with a couple of cake size options and 4 different cake design ideas. They do require full payment upfront (venmo, paypal, cashapp, Zelle, or invoice to pay online). Their cakes consist of 2 layers and filling in the middle but from the outside appearance, you would have thought it was a 3 or 4 layer cake. That's how tall the cake was! The quality of the cake was also delicious. It was perfectly moist and the mousse filling was light and fluffy. Writing this review is making me crave for more cake. Darn it, I should have taken a bigger slice home...

I was looking for cupcakes for my daughters' birthday party and based on reviews used the web form for Minia's. Got a response back super quick and on Friday night. They provided me very detailed information. They were super easy to work with and very quick to respond. The cupcakes turned out perfect. They were super cute and delicious. Will definitely order again.

I had the most delightful experience at Minia's Bake Shop! From the moment I stepped in, the cozy atmosphere welcomed me with the delicious aroma of freshly baked treats. I must say, their pastries are simply heavenly - the perfect balance of flavors and textures. But what made my visit truly exceptional was the outstanding service provided by Jennifer. Her warm and friendly demeanor made me feel like a valued customer, and she was incredibly helpful in recommending the best treats to try. I left with a bag full of delectable goodies and a big smile on my face. Minia's Bake Shop is a gem, and Jennifer's excellent service made my visit even more enjoyable. I can't wait to come back for more sweet delights!

I would definitely recommend. Jennifer is great with designs, very quick to respond, and incorporated every single detail I mentioned. Cake flavors are great - I tried Vanilla cake with strawberries cut into smaller pieces. The cake is so light, and frosting is not too sweet. She did an amazing job.

We ordered 3 dozen for a baby shower: vanilla with strawberry filling, chocolate with raspberry filling, and guava with guava filling. Jennifer was very responsive over email, so ordering was very easy and straightforward. We were able to pick the cupcakes up on the morning of Memorial day. The cakes were very moist and the whipped cream was airy and fluffy. The whipped cream shape and color were beautifully done with some pearl sprinkles on top. My husband and I usually find frosting/icing too sweet, so the whipped cream was perfect for us. I highly recommend getting your cupcakes filled! It's worth it! They were a big hit at the baby shower.Definitely be careful not to bump the box around too much in transit though. We did get two that toppled over into the cupcakes next to them. They were still delicious though! I'd definitely order from Minia's again. :)

Minia's did an amazing job with my wedding cake. It looked exactly how I envisioned it and their cake also tastes delicious!
