The Sweet Stuff

Michelle was great! She was really helpful in the selection process for our wedding and grooms cakes. The wedding cake was gorgeous and tasted even better on the big day than during the tasting session. We got a bacon and eggs grooms cake, which she had never done before, and it looked amazing!

The Sweet Stuff/Michelle was just wonderful. I have gotten several cakes from the Sweet Stuff that were just wonderful. I was not at all disappointed with my wedding cakes! All of the cakes were decorated just as I asked them to be and I swear were some of the best tasting cakes I have ever had! We also got cupcakes...red velvet and chocolate. I only had a few complaints from family that the purple icing on the chocolate cupcakes was alittle off. Everyone told me how fantastic the cake was and for the price that we paid it was a big success! I won't go anywhere else for cake....The Sweet Stuff is where I will always get cake!

Michelle is so great and soooo talented! I went to a few different places before I met her and she made me feel so at ease and not rushed or pressured at all. You also cant beat her prices for the quality that you get! She has tons of pictures of her past work and lots of examples in the shop and they're all fantastic. While we were waiting 2 or 3 people came in picking up cakes for parties and they had all used her for their wedding cakes and went on and on about how great she is and how delicious their cakes were. During the meeting Michelle was friendly and informative and had some great suggestions for me. Then I dropped the bomb on her that my husband to be wanted a working volcano cake for his grooms cake (all chocolate of course) and she didn't even flinch! My dad built a crazy cake stand with a pump contraption and Michelle built a beautiful volcano around it, complete with trees and everything. I thought it was going to be a disaster but it turned out to be a huge hit at the wedding. Then there's the taste of course, they were amazingly delicious. We had 3 different flavors (wedding cake, red velvet, and chocolate) between our 2 cakes and each layer was moist and delicious. Exactly what you want your wedding cake to taste like! We got a ton of compliments from our wedding guests and couldn't have been happier with the results.

The price was great and the cakes looked great but I'm really upset with the taste of both my bride's cake and groom's cake. The taste left a lot to be desired they were totally not what we tasted during our taste testing. They tasted like they were stale and the bride's cake was VERY DRY!!! I expected to get lot's of compliments on the taste but we actually got several complaints :( which was kind of sad especially because people normally don't complain about things like these at weddings. It was family that said this to me but I'm sure other guests were thinking it since we had so much cake left over that we ended up having to throw away. Very dissappointed because Michelle was really nice and like I said the cakes were beautiful to look at. This is so heartbreaking to me because I only get one wedding day and one wedding cake and I really wish it would have been the cake of my dreams. :(

You will not find a better value for your wedding cake. We chose to do a small two tier cake and four different kinds of cupcakes and they were the most reasonably priced we found in the whole Austin area, not to mention they were completely DELICIOUS and many guests said they were the best cupcakes they've ever had. We agreed. I am so glad we didn't hesitate to hire Michelle, she was so sweet and helpful during our consultation and I knew right away we could trust her with the details. She was great!

Our wedding cake and groom's cake turned out perfect. Her creativity set her apart from any other bakery. She worked very hard to make sure our cakes looked exactly how we had described. We were very impressed and satisfied.

Michelle made us the most perfect grooms cake, and I didn't have to explain it to her at all (it was a Halo cake) Everyone loved it, and my bridal cake, which was made with all the vibrant colors I wanted. Both were delicious ( strawberry and strawberries and cream for me, chocolate and cookies and cream for him) and his was a big hit, with even more detail than I even imagined. And you can't beat the price!

We were very pleased with Michelle from The Sweet Stuff. We ordered our cake with pretty late notice & she executed perfectly. When I saw my cake on my wedding day I could not believe that it looked EXACTLY how i had pictured it in my head. She hit it dead on! It was gorgeous! I am not a huge cake fan but I have to say that it was delicious. I also did not have to worry about a thing on wedding day. She delivered on time, found the flowers for the cake decoration & the petals for the table (pretty sure they were both still in the cooler & she probably had to track them down..) & set it all up and was in & out. The cake and the entire display looked amazing. I could not have asked for more.

I loved, loved, loved this cake! And I wasn't alone. We received so many compliments on the bride's cake, it wasn't funny! I knew the groom's cake would be wonderful -- how can you go wrong with chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing with a Reese's peanut butter cup filling? But I usually don't like bridal cake -- it's usually dry and not very flavorful. But this cake was amazingly moist and delicious (we had a bavarian cream/raspberry filling - yummy!). And the leftovers were super moist even a week later! Michelle also includes very specific, detailed instructions on how to freeze the anniversary layer (and how to defrost it). We'll see if it stays fresh! I'd imagine it will -- there's a TON of saran wrap and foil covering it! :)
On top of everything, both cakes were decorated to perfection! I couldn't have imagined them being any more perfect!

Pros: Fantastic flavor and tons of options. The price is right. I couldn't believe Michelle didn't charge me extra to have teal frosting. Other bakers wanted to charge ridiculous amounts for colored frosting and delivery to Kyle (she is located in Kyle).

And of course, everyone raved about how delicious the cake was!

Cons: Our cake was supposed to have a bit more scroll design, but it still looked beautiful. Michelle isn't the best at returning phone calls or e-mails, but when you get a hold of her, it gets done.

Michelle was great to work with. It is true it is a little difficult to get a hold of her, but you just have to call her in the morning before things get busy for her. She did a perfect job on our cakes, and at a great price. The cakes were also delicious!!

Everyone loved the delicious and beautiful cake, especially the bride and I. It was a great value too!

Our cakes were delicious and the prices were extremely reasonable. Better than much more expensive cakes we had tasted.

Best Cake and Best Price

Michelle, the owner of the Sweet Stuff, is incredible. She has the most amazing cakes, taste and looks. I have used her 3 other times in the past year since my wedding and everytime she amazes me. She was on time, set up beautifully, and was very reasonably prices. I love her and her cakes!

This review is hard for me to write. I was nearing a panic attack a month before the wedding when I had tried for two weeks to get ahold of Michelle and couldn't get ahold of her in any way I tried. When I finally did contact her, she blamed it on the fact that I was calling her cell phone (a number she gave me) and that her cell phone doesn't work in her bakery...My question - did you not check the 5,000 messages I left when you got home? It was not until I threatened to find another baker that she called me back and told me that she had a different email now (one that is not advertised on her web site), so I was using all the wrong information to contact her. After I finally did get in touch with her, she was better, but definitely not what I would call professional. The cakes were her only saving grace - they were delicious and exactly what I wanted them to look like. We had so many comments on how moist the cakes were and the grooms cake was completely gone at the end of the night and there were only a few pieces of mine left. It's hard to say whether I'd use them again...I was so, so disappointed in the service I got, but in the end it all worked out okay...and Michelle's prices are lower than you'd find anywhere else in Central Texas.

I couldn't believe the wonderful price and quality! I had so many options! I had a three tiered cake and each tier was one layer white and one layer chocolate. The filling was a strawberries and cream filling. Also the price of $369 included a grooms cake that was in the shape of a truck. The wedding cake was 1.95/serving and the grooms cake was $2.50/serving. Would recommend them to everyone I know. You will pay a lot more in Austin than just down the road in Kyle.

Our wedding cake from the sweet stuff was absolutely delicious! It was definitely the best wedding cake I have ever had. We only wanted one cake so we so we had the brides cake be a mixture of white and chocolate with bavarian cream filling. Amazing!!!

Excellent value and yummy cake. The Sweet Stuff is located in Kyle and had MUCH better prices than anyone else we met with in Austin. We tasted cakes at a couple of other reputable places, but chose The Sweet Stuff because of the price AND because I thought the cake was delicious. Also, we weren't doing a groom's cake, but I still wanted both white and chocolate cakes. So, they made each layer 1/2 white and 1/2 chocolate with raspberry filling in the middle. That way each slice was 1/2 white and 1/2 chocolate cake. The guests LOVED it because they could have a bit of both without having to take 2 slices (which I'm sure lots of people did anyway). We ate our anniversary layer a year later and it was just as good as on our wedding day!
