Sweet N’ Sinful

Excellent cupcakes but I wish there were more flavors. Also, the cupcakes are a bit pricey for their small sizes.

Here is my problem: I like too many bakeries. Wait, it’s more than one problem. Or maybe I have some co-​problems. Anyway, I live near a lot of bakeries, and they are all good, and I am not rich, nor do I have a lot of time. The good news is, Sweet n’ Sinful is between my work and my house so when I have a bad day at work, which is often, I can get a delicious brownie on the cheap to make me feel better, and it doesn’t even make me late!
Okay so the brownies are big and they have the best chewy texture ever. They’re not gooey and fudgy, but they’re not cakey either – just dense and delectable. I always get dark choco but I’m sure the milk is equally tasty.
They have huge cupcakes which are beautiful and also good, but I wish they had smaller cupcakes or even mini ones. I used to visit the Cookie Studio and pick up an assortment of tiny cupcakes for the office, and since they moved (boo!) I’ve been looking for a replacement. I like my coworkers okay but they’re not really worth over $ 2 each because I can’t even expense that shit, so hey S n’ S, please think about it? I’ll love you forevermore.
The store is cute, and the best part is that it shares a space with Pine Street Market! That means on weekends they partner up for bacon cinnamon rolls and pigs in a blanket, which I am never up early enough to try because they sell out super fast. I hate you, everyone who wakes up earlier than me.
I haven’t visited them in a couple weeks because I’ve been trying to save money and not eat brownies between every single meal, but Friday is pay day and I know where I’ll be stopping on my lunch break. Ooh also one of my coworkers birthdays is coming up and she’s insisting on Sweet n’ Sinful’s key lime bars so I have that to look forward to!

The retail bakery is wonderfully tasty — bacon-​covered dark chocolate brownies and red velvet cupcakes are my favorites. But… it’s the specialty cakes that Layne and her team create that really take the cake. They’ve baked up mini-​cupcakes for our baby’s gender-​reveal party based on our doctor’s ultrasound — all the time keeping a secret from us. They also did a wonderful job of decorating our daughter’s smash cake and birthday party cupcakes. Under the surface of that décor and heavenly buttercream icing is the moistest cake with a sinfully sweet flavor. I always go in with a general idea, and at pick-​up time I always leave with something better than what I expected!

Had a small cake make for a wedding. The bride is diabetic so we had a sugar-​free cake make with pineapple. Many people commented, and I agreed, that is was the best wedding cake they’d ever had. I will definitely use them again and will recommend them highly.

There are not many people in this world that would look at a crazed and panicked mom of three kids on the day before her son’s 5^th Birthday and say «YES! Of course I will make you a delicious cake in the shape of a giant lego AND of course I will do it in the perfect shade of YODA green!» It was an awesome and delicious addition to our star wars lego party! My son was SO surprised! Awesome service, delicious cake and a hero for saving the day! Thanks Layne!

Oh my goodness I can not begin to explain how wonderful the goodies are here and how fun everyone is to work with at this bakery. I knew for my wedding last March that I wanted to do a groom’s cake in the shape of our beloved cat… I also knew exactly who to call. The cake not only looked amazing but according to everyone there, it tasted exceptional.
Not only is everyone at this bakery a pleasure to work with but they go above and beyond with requests. I’m gluten intolerant and while this bakery is not a gluten free dedicated bakery (I understand people with Celiac Disease have to be extremely careful) they do make some incredible GF brownies and other items upon requests.
As a bride I can not thank Layne and her fellow bakers enough for making our big day as stress free and tasty as could be. Will be using Sweet N Sinful in the future!

Layne and her crew made our wedding cakes, and they were absolutely everything we had imagined. The groom’s cake was a Boston Cream cake inside a «hamburger,» and the wedding cake was classically beautiful and, hands down, the best cake I’ve ever had. It was moist and the icing was so delicious. Sweet N Sinful knew that we wanted a different flavor for each layer of the cake, and it wasn’t a problem at all. We had pumpkin, strawberry, cinnamon toast (yum!) and red velvet. It was perfect! And to top it all off (literally) they used cream cheese icing!
The tasting was great too. Laid back, fun and champagne to boot! I would highly recommend this shop. The staff is great and the cakes are amazing.

Layne and crew made my wedding cake for my December wedding. I just gave her some photos of cakes that I liked and she took those ideas and made my perfect wedding cake. It was incredible. Like over the top incredible. The cake was apple cinnamon, which was just perfection. I actually wrote a blog post about the wedding that you can see here:
It was an incredible day made even better by the fact that I had such a wonderful cake!

Made an appointment a month in advance for a wedding consult, and was super excited. Spoke to someone two weeks prior to the appointment and confirmed my date and time and emailed our flavor choices. Received an email back telling us no problem, to come hungry and to bring ideas for us to go over. Am now standing in front of a closed shop at my appointment time, with no phone call or email, wondering what the hell is going on. I would have accepted a phone call to reschedule but this is incredibly unprofessional.

We have been ordering our family’s birthday cakes from Sweet & Sinful for about 4 years now. We’ve always been pleased. When I want cake or cupcakes, I’m more about the actual cake than I am the frosting (weird, I know). Layne’s cakes really hit the spot for me. They are dense but not dry, and the frosting really complements the cake. We usually order the basic cake and give them some ideas about theming/​colors. They do a great job and the price is really reasonable. Sweet & Sinful is such an asset to our area. Now, go get you some cake!

We have had their cookies, cupcakes, and several birthday cakes from here. All have been absolutely delicious. They are very friendly as well creative with their cakes. Love the chocolate cake and cream cheese icing!

Love it ! I threw my boyfriend a surprise party and everyone absolutely loved the addidas shoe cake and tasty red velvet and cream cheese icing was to die for and all for a great price

So, if you’re having a ginormous burger at Ann’s Snack Shop for lunch, what do you do afterwards? You go to a bakery, of course. Duh.
I don’t get to this part of town very often but absolutely HAD to stop in yesterday. Layne has expanded her work to multiple Whole Foods (you can find her regular and GF brownies at all the local stores) and she was sweet enough to treat me to a couple of the delicious brownies and cupcakes yesterday. Let’s just say I was a big hit with the friends I ran into at Brio getting off work yesterday!
The red velvet cupcake is good– very rich cream cheese icing — but the chocolate one she picked for me was unbelievable! It was the one with kind of a creamy inside of the chocolate cake, and a chocolate kind of topping/​icing. OMG. The group of us sampled everything and it was such a treat!
If you’re in the neighborhood, you must go by — they have plans to expand the front «yard» area to put tables and partner with Rusty, who owns the butcher shop next door, and serve lunch. Can’t wait to try it!

The second half of the artery clogging one-​two punch of Pine Street in Avondale Estates along with the great Pine Street Market next door. If Layne has made bacon brownies, grab one. Her cupcakes are wonderful and we made a bunch of our friends happy with trays of minis at our anniversary party a while back. Layne is a pisser to boot. This side of town had been a wasteland for baked goods for many years, but it got a lot better when Sweet ‘n’ Sinful opened its doors.

I ordered a cake from these guys a year ago, and I’m still upset about it. I never took the time to write a review before now, because it was an unpleasant memory. But for some reason, I began to think about it again as my kids’ birthday parties are approaching and decided it was time. The cake was a total disaster. It was supposed to be for a dual birthday — it was multi-​tiered and was to have one design on one side and a different design on the other side. They decided to draw a yellow icing line down the middle of the cake. That was the first problem… it was totally crooked… I mean not just if you looked at it a certain way… it was as crooked as a line my 2 year old might draw. I picked the cake up the day before the party, and as directed, kept it in a refrigerator overnight. When I opened the door the next day to get it out, the icing dots had bled all over the cake. There were a few fondant numbers that had been standing up the day before that were now sadly drooped over and totally ruining the top of the cake. I had no choice but to use the cake, and I was terribly embarrassed by it. I attempted to make a joke of it, hoping the taste would make up for the ratty decoration. Ummm… nope. It was an edible cake, but not even close to making any sort of list of good cakes I’ve had. Unfortunately, I would never be able to recommend this bakery to anyone. I felt as if there was absolutely no attention to detail and the cake was just messy and embarrassing.

I have used Sweet ‘n Sinful for a number of occasions — my wedding cake, the groom’s cake, and baby shower favors. On each and every occasion, my expectations were exceeded and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
For my wedding, Layne and crew made a three-​tier red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting that was not only beautiful but delicious. The groom’s cake, which was a delicious strawberry cake with fresh strawberries, featured a picture of my husband’s alma mater’s mascot and looked just like the picture we had provided. We received a number of compliments on both cakes from wedding guests. Not only did the cakes taste and look fantastic but Layne was a pleasant, professional vendor, working to ensure the cake provided was the cake of my dreams. I can’t express how it felt to walk into my wedding reception and see the cake I had envisioned for months sitting there, looking perfect and tasting even better.
Due to the success with the wedding, I used Sweet ‘n Sinful for baby shower favors not long after. Layne and crew made delicious cookies with personalized frosting. Each cookie was individually wrapped with a bow on a popsicle stick and the mother-​to-​be was delighted. Not only was I told time and time again that the favors were adorable, I received numerous calls from guests the next morning that they had dug into their cookies the night before for «just a taste» and couldn’t help but finish it all.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sweet ‘n Sinful again and I am constantly recommending them to friends and family.

I just had some of their baked goods at an event (woo, Lady Rogue Business Network!) and holy cow, I think those are the best brownies I’ve ever had. And I KNOW from brownies.
