This spot is so much fun and you can eat your creation after. I went with my family for a birthday and they all really enjoyed it. The staff is really friendly and are always accessible if help is needed.

The donuts are very good. The pastries are of top quality in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this small shop.

We had reservations for a Sat for my daughters bday. You pick out a cake (a bit pricey at $50 per cake) and then gather the decorations and extra goodies like candies, sprinkles, etc. Then your pretty much on your own to decorate. The kids had lots of fun and the workers were nice. It was an overall fun experience.

This is a great place to do an activity with friends or family. It looks like it's more family friendly but I fee like it is a great date activity or friends activity as well. The staff is super friendly and helpful especially the person that helped us, Che. Make sure you make reservations on Yelp because it can get super crowded on the weekends and they will not take walk ins if there are too much private events/reservations going on. There are a lot of different cake designs to choose from. From start to finish it took us alittle more then one hour to complete a cake. I shared a cake with my friend. The two cake flavors that we could choose from was chocolate or funfetti, I wish they had more flavor to choose from.

We really love coming here and making some cool cupcakes and exploring our creative side. My son watches the Kids Baking Championship with me and so we have fun with coming to visit Duff's store.

Such an incredible time! The staff was very helpful and made our experience wonderful! My boyfriend and I went there to make a cake to celebrate our three year anniversary and we will definitely be back!

So much fun! I highly recommend anyone of any age to come here. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. Such a fun place to bring your kids or even as a date! We were the only ones seated in the 21+ area which was nice to have to place to ourselves. It was $39 for the cake plus $10 for the studio fee but totally worth it! If you think about it, the price is very reasonable as you get to take home a giant cake and spend your afternoon decorating and having fun. There are so many different options here, you can bake cupcakes, a full cake, or a half cake. I think this could be a really cute and thoughtful Mother's Day gift or birthday cake. After you choose your cake and the fondant color, you can choose 5 fondants and/or icings along with 2 toppings. We ended up using mostly fondant for our decorating. They have so many guides to teach you how to bake certain cakes, make a bow, etc so you definitely won't be lost here. And this cake is so freaking delicious! I honestly did not have high expectations for the cake but wow the funfetti was so moist and the perfect consistency. Can't wait to return!

This place did not disappoint. My daughter had a blast making her cake today. She aspires to one day open her own bake shop and this was just the right place to get her started. Special shout out to Raul who helped her learn how to work with fondant and took a great interest in how she was creating her design. He was super helpful and kind. She's been looking forward to coming here and I am sure we will be back in the future. We got the "Ace" kit and it came with fondant, buttercream and decorations. You could add on extras if you want. Prices were definitely affordable and it was a place for couples, friends and families to have fun with each other.

Imagine a movie trailer.... "In a world where unicorns and football collide, cakes determine the kids from the adults... or do they??" For me, Duff's Cake Mix is that world. SPOILER ALERT - Decorating the cake was more fun than watching my football team lose! One thing I quickly realized about Duff's... you aren't really paying for just a cake, you're paying for a two hour activity. Yes... two hours!! We got one cake for my daughter to decorate, and it took that long! Through it all, Duff's helpful "cast" made the time fun, and a bit educational. Who would of thought making an edible unicorn horn would be as complicated as an "I" formation? I learned things about buttercream and fondant that would emasculate the fiercest defensive tackle and deflate every football in Boston! (Or am I just imagining this new knowledge because of all the sugar I snacked on while helping my daughter decorate?) Either way, we left with enough dessert to fuel a three-day sugar rush. Ultimately, a Sunday intended for televised football was transformed into a family cake decorating session.... and the critic (which would be me) gave it "two thumbs up!" Here's what "others" are saying: "Think of it as an immersive documentary about cake decorating for the price of two movie tickets!" - The Cake Quarterback - "Diabetes is fake news anyway, right?" - The Confused Report - "I decorated a unicorn cake and watched the Packers on my phone!" - Green Bay Dessert News - "It's like the Rise of the Resistance ride at Disney, but it's cake and stuff." - Some Yelp Review - All in all, it was a fun family experience... and the cake actually tasted good. (Notice I used the past tense in referring to the cake.) Duff's Cake Mix is rated G... for great! What happened to the cake? That's rated R. The fate of desserts in my house isn't pretty.

We had a party of 14 and they were very accommodating even with our toddlers and my elderly grandparents. This was our second trip there and we will definitely be back.
