Sweet Temptations Cupcakery

From start to finish Geri was amazing! I know from past experience that she bakes amazing confections so when my friend reached out to me for help sourcing cake pops I immediately knew I wanted to go to her.
Communicating via email was easy and efficient. She took about a day on average to get back to me with my questions and requests — many of the vendors I had inquired with didn’t even message me back until a week later!
On the date of the event Geri reconfirmed pick up and time, and was even early to the meeting location. So professional! Her pops were delicious and everyone commented on how yummy they were. I mean, who doesn’t love a beautiful cake pop that tastes good too?!?

When looking for a cake vendor for our wedding day, we stumbled across Sweet Temptations Cupcakery at the Wedding Expo. After trying a sample of their popular hit-​seller, their coconut custard mochi cupcakes, we were sold! What sets Geri apart from other cake/​cupcake vendors is that she has a VAST ARRAY of desserts and flavors she offers besides the traditional choices. We were looking for something different to WOW our guests and we certainly found it in her COCONUT CUSTARD MOCHI CUPCAKE! Our guests enjoyed the cupcake selection so much that it was all gone, expect for 1 cupcake left for the bride and groom to share. After our wedding event was over, a lot of guests asked about the delicious, moist, and flavorful cupcakes and where they could get more!
Another quality that sets Geri apart is that she is very responsive, communicates in a timely manner, and is professional. Unlike some of wedding vendors that are overly busy and take a while to respond to email or phone inquiries, Geri has always communicated with me on a timely basis.
Lastly, Geri’s desserts and set-​up/​delivery fee are affordable and not overly priced. We were very happy with seeing our vision come alive and were thrilled with our beautiful, yet simplistic rustic cupcake cake and naked cake topper. Thank you Geri for your execution and delivery that didn’t disappoint! We definitely recommend Geri for your special occasion needs or if you’re just in the mood for the most delicious cupcakes ever!

I was looking for a company to make my daughter’s cake for her first birthday and received Gerilyn’s company as a reference from a friend. She was simply a pleasure to work with over the last month and her professionalism/​responsiveness left me with no doubt that the cake would be everything I asked for.
I received a beautiful, 3 tiered cake that was delicious, delivered on time and in line with the concept that I desired. Also, being able to pay by credit card made things much more simple. A cake of this quality costs an arm and a leg at other places, but Geri’s prices are fair and reasonable. Geri excels in the quality of her product, and her high level of customer service only further enhances her business. I will be using Geri everytime I order a cake/​cupcakes in the future.

Geri is awesome! She gave me exactly what I wanted. I ordered the mini cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday. She was on-​time and patient too (I forgot my bag with my Husband so she waited till he came back). I ordered the coconut custard mochi (the bomb btw), red velvet, and the chantilly (also bomb). She showed up and had extras of the coconut custard… EXTRAS! That seriously makes her AWESOME in my book. Let’s just say, I gained a lot that day. Haha! Can’t wait to order again!

Geri was so awesome. She was super receptive to my ideas and had awesome communication skills! The day of the event, she was very timely and helped with the setup. Lots of raves on the «sweet temptations»!

I’m writing this review as a person who hasn’t even had the chance to taste Geri’s adorable creations… even so 5 stars. GeriLyn’s customer service is stellar, her cupcakes are beautiful and the person I sent them to said they were delicious. I special requested a handwritten note and delivery to an airman stationed in Hawaii and she went above and beyond wrapping them in a beautiful box and personally delivering them. I only wish I wasn’t 3500 miles away so I could taste them for myself. The receiver of the cupcakes said the coconut mochi and red velvet were his favorites, but they were all moist and wonderfully delicious. Thank you so much GeriLyn for helping me put a smile on someone special’s face and in their tummy from so many miles away. :)

I’m sorry but this will be a bad review. The monkey on the cake didn’t resemble anything like curious George! It looked like brown play dough with finger prints which didn’t form correct limbs and fingers. The face was the worse, it was penned it with black. No formation of any facial features. The round ball of fondant was barely clean with bumps and misshaped. It was so bad, I had to chop the whole top off and cover it with cupcakes that I had ordered from a friend. Overall it was poor. The insides of banana chocolate was not bad but dry. I would appreciate some honesty and professionalism if you can’t make a certain design and ask that you suggest any modifications so that it can at least turn out decent. I understand the cupcakes are your specialty but pls indicate if cakes are not what you do normally.

GERI, THE CUPCAKE QUEEN!
Geri’s cupcakes and creations are all baked from scratch and with love. My friend, Kat, introduced me to her amazing take on coconut custard MOCHI cupcake a few weeks ago, and my life hasn’t been the same! She’s managed to combine my two favorite things: cake and mochi, not to mention my weird addiction to anything coconut. Amazing!
I seem to have made it my mission to spread this cake-​joy to the masses, so I ordered a dozen to take to my family’s Christmas party tonight. Geri was so nice to drop them off to me at work! It’s taking the power of the Hulk for me to not bust into these right now…

We were doing some shopping today at Ala Moana and Williams Sonoma had an Artisan Market going on. Sweet Temptations Cupcakery had their table set up and who doesn’t love cupcakes?! While they had a variety of flavors to satisfy anyone’s appetite, my hubby loves anything coconut so we got the Coconut Mochi cupcake.
I had absolutely no idea what to expect from the flavor name. I wondered if there were mochi bits in the cupcake? Would there be mochi in the frosting? We were pleasantly and wonderfully surprised. The cupcake was actual mochi texture, more like butter mochi-​ish texture, but fused into a cupcake. A mochi, cupcake hybird. I have no idea how she makes it but whatever it is she needs to keep doing it. It was DELISH and very out of the ordinary of regular cupcakes. The frosting was not overly sweet and balanced the cupcake very well.
I immediately jumped on their website and she has a bunch of other mochi cupcake flavors listed. Needless to say we’ll keep an eye out for any other pop ups they’ll be at and most likley put an order in for the next special occassion.

what: a sweet treat temptation ;)
something good: i was super impressed with the macaroons from sweet temptations! it had just the perfect amount of sweet! and of course the macaroons were so cute! i want more already!!!
something not so good: the flavors weren’t super dominant but i don’t really care for the flavors to be really dominant, it’s just personal preference! :)
something to try: macaroooooooooons!

I discovered these sweets last night at Lei Chic Pop up Boutique at the Mercedes Benz dealership. The owner had a booth with a variety of her little morsels for sampling. She had gorgeous macarons, red velvet cupcakes and cake pops for our tasting pleasure and wedding cake and larger cupcakes on display. You can tell she’s very meticulous about her work. Very detail oriented. Everything looked gorgeous and tasted really yummy. I felt bad because I had a sampled one of each and then I overheard her telling some other gals that they can sample only one since previous girls were taking too much. I think she meant me =(I wanted to make it up and give a raving review. Hope this makes up for it =)

Delicious cupcakes at a very reasonable price with free delivery… what more could you ask for??! Highly recommend this cupcakery!

Always been a fan of Cake Couture (
), but my stylist Jason kept raving about GeriLyn’s cupcakes, so I had to check it out for myself.
GeriLyn bakes her delicious cupcakes and cake pops from scratch, using mostly organic ingredients. She’s one of the sweetest person I know and is very accommodating when it comes to customizing your orders for any special occasion. You tell her what flavors you want and request any type of toppers & fondant designs for your cupcakes.
I ordered a dozen cupcakes from her once. I had wanted carrot cake, in addition to the red velvet (i requested a cute fondant topper instead of the regular red velvet sprinkles), cookies & cream and strawberries cupcakes. Even though GeriLyn doesn’t have carrot cake on her list, she was able to fulfill my request and happily whipped up a batch for me.
Price of cupcakes (prices may vary and depends on decoration toppers, etc):
½ Dozen– $ 15.00
Dozen– $ 28.00
Single Cupcake– $ 2.75 (applies to orders of 40 or more)
Mini Cupcakes (Dozen) — $ 15.00 (she can make ½ dozen per flavor)
Price of cake pops and mini cake bites (minimum dozen/​per order):
$ 3-​$ 6 each, varies on the size of the cake pops or mini cake bites
$ 30 per dozen
She’s currently in the process of setting up shop in a permanent location, but they do deliveries! You just text or email her and she’ll happily drop them off or meet you!
Her facebook website definitely piqued my interest
Check her page for daily specials and cupcake flavors of the day.
Found out about her special cake pop sampler via FB (6 cake pop flavors for $ 18). Normally, these cake pops need to be ordered 2 weeks in advance and be a minimum of a dozen of the same flavors ($ 30). This sampler set was a great opportunity to try out a variety of them.
***FYI, cake pops are cakes mixed with frosting, prior to shaping and coating with melted chocolate. So it’s a little denser and more decadent than a normal slice of cake. I liked it less sweet, sans the chocolate icing***
This cake pop sampler set includes (from left to right): Red velvet, green tea matcha, chocolate peanut butter, coconut, tiramisu & strawberry.
Red Velvet:
You can’t go wrong with red velvet cake dipped in milk chocolate!
Green Tea Matcha:
GeriLyn used expensive tea leaves from Whole Foods. She actually chopped and mixed 6 tea bags worth of leaves into the batter. Since I’m not a big fan of overly sweet treats, this was one of my favorites.
Chocolate Peanut Butter:
Peanut butter frosting was blended with dark chocolate cake batter, drizxled w/​more peanut butter on the outside shell. The peanut butter taste is VERY subtle.
Coconut:
Contains coconut milk. Unsweetened coconut flakes are used in both the cake batter and sprinkled over the white chocolate shell. Yum!
Tiramisu:
The newest recipe yet. A marsala wine & strong-​brewed expresso is blended into the batter. I couldn’t taste the alcohol or expresso, but it was tasty. Reminds me a lot of the «blondie brownies», not so much tiramisu.
Strawberry:
Fresh strawberries are blended into the cake batter. If you look closely, you can see the seeds. The strawberry flavors really stands out in this one =)
Check it out for yourself, I’m glad I did. Although I’m not big on sweets, I was happily willing to sacrifice my already-​expanding waistline to spread the word about this wonderful business *burps…rubs belly*
