Delish

DELISH is what these cupcakes are. Gorgeous, delectable morsels of Yumminess that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
Even the gluten-​free cupcakes are a delight.

Mexican Vanilla is amazing. I had them cater my wedding in 2011. Anniversary and birthdays, this is the place I go. Pain in the ass to find parking though, be prepared.

After finding out about this place like a week ago, I come to find out that they have closed permanently as of April 9,2016. So sad!
They show that they are still open, but they are closed.

I had a cookie sandwich from here that was good. Not great. However, I’d be interested to try their other items because they were beautiful to look at.
This place is TINY with little to no seating (except some outdoor tables), so don’t necessarily expect to eat your dessert in the shop.
It seems like they do a lot of custom cake orders here because we saw several people picking up cakes in the short time we were in the shop. One odd thing we noticed was a beautiful, 3-​tiered cake sitting in an open box on a bench in the entrance to the shop. I’m not sure if that cake was waiting to be picked up or what, but it was fully accessible to the general public. Anyone could have touched it, knocked it over, or sneezed on it. If that was my cake order, I would not have been pleased.
Anyway, I adore sugar, so I’d definitely go back here to try more items, but I wasn’t super impressed with that I had.

I emailed this bakery over a month ago for a quote and received no response. Their cupcakes may be Delish, but their service definitely is not.

I ordered Delish for my mom’s birthday cake. She had a party of 30 people, but she didn’t want to be incharge of the cake so I offered.
I set up delivery, and the cake didn’t make it to the end of the party. It was super embarrassing. On top of that, I had to keep on calling the bakery during the party and leave the party, and miss parts of the party.
I had scheduled for the cake to come at 4:30, for a party that started at 5:30. Not too far from downtown, just off of burnet road. We ordered last year for my mom’s birthday at Delish and had them deliver at the same place and the delivery was flawless.
So, come 6:15 the cake finally arrives. Some of the guests had already left.
The icing on top atleast, was the cake was absolutely beautiful. They really do make a good cake at Delish. I am just upset about how they handled the delivery. They told me the owner would be calling me I called her Friday and she still hadn’t called me, and I never got a phone call from them over the weekend. Everyone at the party kept on talking about the cake and asking where it was from saying it was the most gorgeous cake they’d ever seen. It really was. And whenever I order from Delish, the girls on the phone are always really helpful at helping me pick designs and flavors they know that go well together. I trust them because they are the expert!
We decided we probably would order again next year or for the next birthday from Delish. We got the red velvet with Mexican vanilla, and it really was amazing. I would just maybe pick up the cake the next time I have a party, or have the delivery 5 hours before the event so that way I am not missing the event the whole time looking for the cake. We contemplated leaving the party in the middle to pick up a cake from the grocery store because it’s embarrassing for the birthday girl to have a party and no cake! Thankfully though, everyone raved about the cake so despite the delivery process it was still everyone’s favorite part of the party.
We also ordered some gluten free cupcakes because some people were gluten free, and they even raved how good their option was! Delish really is on my top ten favorite bakeries in Austin to order cakes from, probably even top 5.

Weird customer service. Went by and the door was open and they had several sweets left and the lady at the counter stopped her phone conversation to tell me they were closed. Obviously the door was still open and they had treats left to sell, so being that their items are perishable you would think they would let us pay cash and be on our merry way with cupcakes. We didn’t eat here but left with a bad taste in our mouths…

strawberry icing is bomb.
came here last minute to get some cupcakes for a wedding ceremony. everyone loved them! The lady that helped me out was super friendly and helpful. i’d recommend this to anyone in austin!

DELISHus! (How many times has THAT joke been made already?)
Full disclosure, I only had takeout from here — but it made quite an impression on me. Sitting on a picnic table at Mt. Bonnell, post close friends’ wedding, I scarfed down an entire strawberry cupcake in (likely) 3 seconds.
It was moist, incredibly flavorful and, according to everyone else on the table, also «legit.» On top of the strawberry cupcake, I tried chocolate, red velvet, and a few macarons — everything I tried made the beautiful surroundings even sweeter.
I can’t wait to visit this place in person!

We live in Maryland but ordered cupcakes to be delivered for a family members birthday in Austin. The customer service was awesome and the cupcakes received so many compliments! I would highly recommend Delish for anyone looking for a birthday surprise or just an amazing treat.

Ordered a cake one week in advance (was told they require 48 hours) for a pick up at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday morning; told then I really needed it at 10 and they said they didn’t open til 11. Told them I would be there right at 11:00. Ordered a one layer «little bird» from their web sight but requested it to be more like the top layer as pictured; grey icing and yellow accent circles; with a plain top (I was going to add something to match the invitation myself) and Congratulations written on the board. Arrived at 11 and girl looked around and could not find my cake. Very casually ask the people icing the cakes if it was ready; nobody seemed to care. Finally was told no, it was not done but would be in 15 minutes. Watched the girl begin to SLOWLY ice it with a yellowish icing. At that point I told her it was suppose to be grey and she assured me it would be, she was just doing a crumb cost. My daughter was circling the block so I went to go find her and they would call me when ready. At 11:25 I called them as 15 minutes had passed and was told «just a few more minutes» and they would bring it out. After 10 minutes I headed in and was met by the counter girl who proudly opened the box to reveal a yellow NOT GREY cake with a purple HUGE bow covering the top and Congratulations written on the cake. I told her this was completely wrong and she stayed they had given me a discount; the original cost was $ 55. I requested for a second time to have the owner Lisa call me ASAP. The first request was when the cake was not ready and the girl sent Lisa a text. The cake was also scratched against the box when they put it in the box as there was a section of the icing going straight up the side. As of now I have not heard from Lisa plus my credit card went thru last night and what a surprise, it was for the full price of $ 55. Great discount!!! I’ll see if I can figure out how to post pictures of my grey cake with yellow accents and a plain top

I hate to give a bad review for a local venue but maybe a few things will be helpful to them or others looking for the right cake for them. I ordered a Birthday cake and from the beginning, ordering the cake was a bit of a hassle. I placed the order online but it stated, «Call if you need it within 2 days.» So I figured I better call as well. After waiting on hold for about 4 – 6 minutes, the girl told me the owner looks at the order online and then she will get back to you. Then I received the email confirmation saying, «Yes we can make this but call us back to pay for it.» It was not a very streamline process. Luckily I work at a desk all day and I had the time to call sit on hold, call again. When I called the second time, I had to reiterate everything I put online. It was a little tedious.
My cake was delivered one hour before we planned to eat it. It was beautiful! I left it out at room temperature assuming I needed too. When I cut the cake one hour later, it was almost frozen. It was a VERY dense cake and maybe that is normal but the taste was just average. After it defrosted the icing was really yummy, it just took time before it tasted this way.
Pros: They delivered to me on time (for a fee), Beautiful cake, buttercream icing was good, the people on the phone were very nice
Cons: I ordered Mexican Vanilla cake and I didn’t like it, frozen cake, not easy to order, price seemed high.

DON’T get the S’More Brownie.
More work to do to prefect this. Up close the marshmallows smell burned. Ewww

The most delicious cake ever! It was a huge hit at my friends 30^th birthday. The gals there are so sweet and made the process very easy. The cake was massive… Much bigger than I expected. I ordered the chocolate and vanilla… Everyone loved it!

Had an assortment of cupcakes delivered to our door. The packaging was so pretty and definitely the cupcakes were cute and colorful. However, the taste was ok. It was really heavy esp the icing. I expected more bc they aren’t that cheap. The flavors were fun-there’s a banana one, ginger bread, carrot, strawberry, vanilla, chocolate etc. But the dough is really dense and the icing very sweet and heavy. I like my cupcakes lighter. But still glad to have received them, bc esp of the pretty packaging, the thought esp. and the look of it all,.But not sure if we would order them personally. Maybe try out other things when we are at their location downtown :)

These folks are amazing. I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter. She is a huge fan of the author John Green, so i asked if they could decorate her cake like one of his book covers. They knocked it out of the park! Daughter was absolutely thrilled. And this was the most delicious birthday cake I’ve ever tasted. We got chocolate cake with raspberry filling and Mexican vanilla buttercream. We will definitely be back!

My sister had 6 different cupcakes delivered to my apartment yesterday afternoon for my birthday. These cupcakes are pretty amaze bawllz. They are pretty decadent, and the cake part is nice n moist.
I will definitely recommend this spot to all my friends here in ATX.
Thanks y’all!

After trying Sugar Mamas I was left wanting. So I Unilocaled bakeries while I was visiting museum of the weird and saw Delish. I got a Mexican vanilla, double chocolate, strawberry and vanilla with chocolate frosting. The Mexican vanilla was worth the price of admission. Holy cow was it good. Strawberry was flavorful and the double chocolate was nice and fudgy. Great cuppie experience!

Ordered a mother’s day cake with only a 48 hour notice. Great price and the cake was delicious! I would definitely order another cake in the future.

yeah.
This place is adorable. It’s as if someone thought, «I don’t care if we only have 75 square feet, we must give the world more cupcakes!»
I tried the carrot cake cookie sandwich, and the carrot cake cookies were very soft (that’s my main concern with cookies. If a cookie is hard then it is simply a bad cookie). I got to try a bite of the Mexican vanilla cupcake too, which was quite good. Sweet, obviously, but good. The fact that they have gluten free cupcakes as well is just (pun intended) icing on the cake.

I never order cakes, but when I do… I do a lot of research. I called this bakery because they actually had real customers talking about how great their designs are and it’s true! My boyfriend loves organic chemistry and THIS IS WHAT HE GOT! Thank you delish bakery, you guys are awesome! Great customer service! CANT WAIT TO USE YOU AGAIN!!!

I ordered a cake from here and had it delivered to the restaurant for my boyfriends 30^th birthday! His favorite was the carrot cake and it was perfect! It tasted delish and was a beautifully decorated cake! Thank you for making our night perfect!

I have been on the hunt for a bakery who will make me a cake with whipped cream icing. I messaged Delish with this specific request and was told my order could be accommodated and to call them to place the order. Upon calling I was told they could not do a whipped cream icing. I gave her the name of the woman who responded to my message, Brianna, and after being put on hold, was told she just spoke with Brianna and they could only do a buttercream frosting. Although she was polite and told me it was possibly miscommunication, I am very disappointed and frustrated as my message was very clear. The search continues…

My review is based on ordering full cakes and cupcakes for parties.
We initially began using this bakery because they offered a variety of gluten-​free options on a daily basis.
A little more than one year ago I ordered 4 cakes that had a beautiful Eastern design on the them. They turned out absolutely perfect.
This past month I ordered a birthday cake about 4 days before I needed it. It was to feed 12 to 15 people. I had not researched any cake pictures or referenced any previous work (which is very unlike me) because it was last minute planning. I simply told them my requests. 1. Make sure the name is spelled correctly. 2. Make it Star Wars themed, the guest of honor LOVES Yoda, and 3. Make it look GOOD, REALLY GOOD.
When they delivered the cake I was stunned. I couldn’t even have imagined the work prior to them doing it. The cake turned out gorgeous and impressed everyone. I have posted pictures on this business’s Unilocal page so that you can see the Star Wars cake. For the work, the cake was extremely reasonably priced at $ 65 which included delivery. There was fondant and buttercream plus very deep coloring.

Meh. Friend really wanted to come here because she’s into desserts so we decided to check this place out since it was rated pretty favorably. I got a Mexican Vanilla cupcake ($ 3) since apparently this is the most popular flavor that they sell here.
It’s definitely a gourmet cupcake, and it’s a beautiful cupcake. The storefront here is tiny and cute – so Austin. Anyways, it’s a decent cupcake, but is it mindblowing? Not so much. It’s obviously better than a grocery store cupcake (I would hope so), but it’s not astounding. The cupcake has a TON of frosting, and the frosting is very good, but it also gets sweet very quickly. I definitely found myself struggling to get past a quarter of the cupcake and then I chugged a ton of water so I could finish it. The cake was fine and I can definitely see how the frosting is the standout, but it’s just a bit too overwhelming/​heavy for me. It’s good though, but overwhelming and it’s not easy to finish as a result of it
tldr; gourmet cupcakes that are not bad, definitely on the sweeter side

Cute and friendly bakery in the heart of downtown. It was raining today and my husband didn’t want to park, so he dropped me off so I could pop in real quick for some treats. I wish I would have had a bit more time to browse because everything looked tempting. I’ve heard their cupcakes in particular are amazing, and today they were featuring a nutter butter one, but the pumpkin macaroon caught my eye. It was giant and fluffy and for only $ 1.75 I couldn’t pass it up. The woman behind the counter told me they have been flying off the shelves lately since everyone has the fall pumpkin fever (can I get an amen?).
We first heard about this gem from the tv show Unique Sweets, and on it they display their Pig Meets Cookie which is two butterscotch oatmeal cookies sandwiched together with a maple cream filling and the sides are rolled in chopped bacon. Have I mentioned our dogs names are Maple and Bacon? We knew we had to try this cookie.
The macaroon was luscious and completely melted in my mouth. I’ve had macaroons from the French Market in Chicago that couldn’t hold a candle to this one. As far as the cookie? Total bliss. I cannot wait to come back and sink my teeth into one of their gorgeous cupcakes!

Delish is a quick walk from our offices so as you can imagine, I go there quite a lot. We celebrate birthdays and office anniversaries with their moist and flavorful cupcakes and with their Gluten free options everyone ends up with a cupcake! Delicious cupcakes, Delish bakes with heart.
