Dessert Fantasies

Rude! I didn’t even get to taste the cupcakes because the door was literally shut on me! The hours are supposed to be until 5:00, and I showed up 20minutes til 5:00, the open sign was lit up, and as I walk up the door, it was locked and light turned off on me. I tried to open the door and knocked and no one let me in. It’s still not 5:00 and I have already driven home, found parking, and written this review! Since they don’t want to serve their customers and would rather leave work early 0 stars for you if I could and I will be getting my desserts elsewhere.

Recently went to a Unilocal Elite event. There were 7 tables with all sorts of vendors giving out all sorts of food.
I wandered around this table specifically like a shark. Literally all night.
Must have eaten 20 mini cupcakes in total. It was a dessert massacre.
These ladies know how to make a dessert!?! Absolutely incredible!!!

Precisely the kind of cake and ice cream I’ve been looking for… My wife and I dropped by for dessert after an excellent late lunch at Water For Chocolate (that’s another review). We got the red velvet cup cake with cream cheese icing, the mini pineapple upside down cake, and a scoop each of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. The cakes were soft and moist, but not gooey. They will warm it up for you if you want. And what I like about it is that the cakes are not too sweet. They serve Taharka ice cream which I find okay. At least the chocolate and vanilla were also not excessively sweet. Would have been perfect with coffee but I left my coffee tumbler in the car. If you find parking a bit of problem, I suggest you park on the far corner of Locust Point Park near the dog run and Banner Field then take a walk through the park. It’s not far at all and it is worth your while.

Late late late review but I’m so glad I finally remembered!!! These cupcakes are DIVINE!!! Opulent! Delectable! Perfect! I tried 3 flavors and they were all different, authentic to the name and oh so good!!! I soooo hope these owners go win some awards on TLC! I LOVE the cupcakes!!! Can’t wait to go to the store (I caught them at an event)

I’m in love and I mean in love with this cute little shop that serves big wonderful cupcakes :-)… Actually it’s a little scary how obsessed I am. I visit this shop at least 2 times a week. I have nothing but great things to say and I’ve tried every single flavor. Some are better than others but for the most part all of them are delicious and fresh. I have one piece of advice have the team member that’s assisting you hear your cupcake up for you and split it down the middle and ice cream you won’t be disappointed. If you do decide to take the cupcake home let the cupcake sit out for a minute room temperature so it can be moist if not they appear a little dry but far from it in reality

We LOVED all the cupcakes we bought– birthday cake, strawberry, banana split, Heath bar, s’mores and maple bacon! My favorite — S’mores chocolate cupcake like light brownie almost flourless chocolate cake. The best I’ve had!

I attended a Unilocal event last week and Dessert Fantasies was one of the vendors. I sampled a couple of the cupcakes but the Salted Caramel (if the emoticons don’t show up. They are smiley faces with hearts for the eyes). Yummmmmm! I am sad to say that I was supposed to be on a «diet «this evening so I was attempting to eat in moderation for my splurge. But I wanted more. The display was very nice and the guy working was very friendly. I’m a cupcake gal so I will definetly be visiting soon!

I was able to try Dessert Fantasies at the Unilocal Undercover event this week and I was so excited to discover a nearby cupcake store! Cupcakes have become quite trendy and sometimes over hyped recently but these cupcakes were on point. Really moist (sorry had to use it) which is an absolute MUST when it comes to cake. Not a dry crumb here!
I tried the Reeces which had a lovely light peanut butter frosting and the strawberry cheesecake. I liked the cake on that one but the frosting had too much of an artificial flavor for me. I will have to go to their actual store front and try the Salted Caramel as that one looked delicious as well. The people working at their booth were so friendly and nice as well.

Dessert Fantasies. the business name rings true to its wares because the cupcakes were pure fantasies! How can anything taste that good? I found myself salivating while attempting to describe them to someone. The flavors make love to each and every tastebud. The DF crew are equally awesome, friendly, fun and warm individuals which make the cake I would have bought a few dozen if it were available at the event. I am NOT a fan of caramel but the salted caramel cuppies were my faves — every bite more delicious than the last, super sweet but balanced with the salt and as moist as a cake from grandma, one of my usual complaints about cupcakes is the last of moisture but please believe this cupcake was the superstar of cupcakes. Also ridiculously delicious was the strawberry cheesecake cupcake, just a sin to be so good! Desserts spelled backward is stressed and stressed is what you will be if you go with any other baker for your cupcakes .so yea #teamDessertFantasiesson

Absolutely amazing! I was able to have the chance to try out four amazing cupcakes… the strawberry cheesecake, peanut butter Reese’s, chocolate cherry and the salted caramel… all of them were delightful! My favorite was the salted caramel and I believe that one was sold out before the others so I’m sure everyone at the event would agree with me on that specific flavor! Nevertheless the service and the cupcakes were amazing! Service is just as important as taste and this place aced it!

These cupcakes are amazing. Once you’ve had one cupcake, you will want to come back for more! It’s also cool that they sell dip and dots ice cream and soft serve ice cream made in mount vernon. Some of their cup cakes have alcohol in them, which I plan on trying next. I got the smores cup cake slightly warmed up and it was mouth watering delicious.

Omg I just did!!! 1^st time been dying to come after salivating over all ur pics! Had my birthday cupcake… a red velvet cheesecake! It was amazing! Hands down think best cupcake I’ve ever had! I’ll be back!

The salted caramel cupcake was phenomenal – the icing itself could be wrapped up as candy they just moved to the area I will be back to taste more flavored.

Please update your hours. I went there tonight before 6pm which according to help you are open until 6pm but the shop was closed :/

Cupcakes are somewhat of a thing of the past and I’m obviously very hip and progressive. So when my friend claimed that these were the best cupcakes in Baltimore’ I was unsurprisingly aloof (I also work across the street from Georgetown Cupcakes so there’s that benchmark, too). It didn’t help that the façade of the bakery is playfully blue and pink with really destitute sign above the door — kinda clicheeee.
Well. I’m so sorry for ever doubting this place. One bite into my pre-​heated caramel frappé cupcake and I got pretty emotional about the whole experience. I hate to use such an over-​arching generalist statement like «these are amazing» but they really are. Ideal ratio of frosting to cake, perfect levels of moisture in the cake and viscosity in the frosting, and the best part of it all: the lava center. Melted just like my heart after I took the first bite.

they serve taharka brothers ice cream!
small location but great if you want a quick dessert, i will be back!

These cupcakes are amazing! I’ve been searching for a legit cupcake shop in this town and THIS. IS. IT. Not only are these cupcakes huge, but they are moist, flavorful and the icing on them is great. They are $ 4/​ea and I would gladly pay it for them. In general I am not a fan of icing, but as I said on a previous review, you only make a great cupcake if you make great icing, and this place does. In two days, I ate SIX of these. …and I am not ashamed. (judge yourself lol). I’ve tried the following flavors:
Salted Caramel– Amazing! Perfectly spiced with a nice well of caramel sauce in the middle of the icing. I’ll probably buy one of these everytime I go. Definitely my fave of the bunch.
Reese’s PB Cup– This was good, but def not my fave. I don’t particularly care for chocolate cake, but I tried it anyway. The peanut butter icing on it was really good!
Strawberry Margarita– I was a little disappointed with this one. It was still delicious, but I couldn’t taste the tequila at all :(. For me, it just tasted like a great strawberry cupcake.
Strawberry Cheesecake– A little disappointed with this one also b/​c the cheesecake filling didn’t taste quite as «cheesecake-​y» as I would have liked, but again it was still delicious
Apple Pie– Solid, but I would have loved even more apple filling inside.
Snickerdoodle– This was really good. The icing was a bit sweet for me, so I had to take some of it off, but the cupcake was so good, I ate half of it chilled before I even finished the drive home.
The ladies who work here are super nice and welcoming. I will be back again & again.
NOTE: They keep the cupcakes here chilled in a cold case, so they won’t be warm when you receive them. You’ll either have to sit them out until they become room temp, pop ‘em in the microwave, or just eat them chilled. I’m not sure if they have a microwave on site to heat them up either.

As I continue my cupcake research (you’re welcome), this was a stand out. Delicious flavors (but not overpoweringly «whatever» flavor), VERY moist, VERY heavy cake (which is a critical criterion for me) and sweet but not cloying frosting.
We had the apple pie (which we heated in the microwave at the helpful suggestion of the shopgirl), salted caramel (yeah, I know. Trendy but yummy!) and strawberry shortcake. To give you an idea – the shortcake bread did, in fact, have the flavor of a shortbread (meaning not overly sweet) and the whipped cream frosting was real. As was the glazed strawberry that adorned it.
YUM.

Best cupcakes ever! I’m really not kidding. I lived in Fed HIll and somehow these cupcakes stayed off my radar until the last Unilocal party at Creative Alliance. Dessert Fantasies pulled out all the stops for this party and had the best food offering at the party by far.
I sampled the red velvet and peanut butter cup and both were absolutely delicious. Light cake, creamy icing, flavorful but not to sweet. The real showstopper was the salted caramel. My god. I’m already brainstorming the next event I need cupcakes for and Dessert Fantasies will definitely be at the top of that list.

Dessert Fantasies hit a home run at tonight’s Unilocal event. My friend and I tried 4 different cupcakes (salted caramel, peanut butter chocolate, margarita, and bacon maple), and each was absolutely on point. The cupcakes were moist, tasty, inventively flavored, and drop-​dead gorgeous. The buttercream frosting was dense and flavorful too, and not overpoweringly sweet.
Of the four flavors I tried, my favorite was the salted caramel cupcake — I loved the centerpiece of molten caramel. The mild hint of salt accentuated the caramel flavor of the cupcake nicely.
My friend’s favorite was the margarita cupcake, which was described as containing strawberry, lime, and tequila. Neither of us could discern the strawberry and lime very well, but we could definitely taste the liquor!
I thought the bacon maple cupcake was terrific as well. The bacon and maple added a nice deep smoky flavor.
I don’t usually have a sweet tooth, but Dessert Fantasies might as well have just given me one. What a revelation! I will definitely stop by the shop when I’m in the Locust Point area next!
