Butter & Me Bakeshop

I am writing not about the goodies the shop produces but the horrific customer service they provide.
I ordered cupcakes to be delivered to my friend and ended up needing to cancel my order. After three calls and three emails I was not contacted by the bakeshop. On my fourth call I finally got through to cancel my order. The person on the phone said I would be refunded within two weeks.
Two months later I have not received my money back. I have called twice and emailed the shop to get in contact with me and have yet to hear from them.
Wishing I never put in that order.

Carrot cake is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. It was just for my guy and me so she can do smaller cakes with plenty left over for breakfast the next day ;) Kelly was patient in explaining her carrot cake recipe and other options. Will go to her again whenever I need a custom cake. This gal is customer oriented, satisfaction oriented, and does a great carrot cake!

I had a daily deal and ordered a dozen coconut cupcakes. They were good and looked good to:)

I had head of butter and me (here on Unilocal) before seeing a groupon for it, so I was excited to buy the groupon for a place that had great reviews. I planned to get myself some birthday cup cakes. The hubby and I made a trip in, when we walked in we were a little surprised at the limited selection, but I was able to get a cupcake so I was happy. We ordered up our groupon value of items that looked good and went on our way. We split a cupcake and a chocolate chip sea salt cookie, and they were good. A-​OK, but nothing amazing. I have had much more amazing chocolate cupcakes and much much more amazing chocolate chip cookies.

Butter & Me Bakeshop is located in a small center and was pretty hard to find (it would be helpful if they set up a little sign on the main street). The people working here (the owners I think) seemed really nice, and I wanted to like the items here. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the things I tried too much. I came around noon on a Saturday before the Giants game to pick up some goodies. There wasn’t a huge selection available (maybe 10 – 15 items, some savory but mostly desserts), and only 3 flavors of cupcakes (none of which were that interesting to me) so I settled on two cookies:
–Chocolate Molasses Ginger Cookie ($ 3.50,
): Eh, just ok. I didn’t like the flavor combination and the cookie was too crunchy/​dry for me. I prefer softer, chewier cookies. Out of 4 people, no one liked this cookie.
–Chocolate Chip Cookie w/​Sea Salt ($ 3.50,
): On the bland side since the chocolate flavor was very light. The salt surprisingly didn’t add anything to the cookie, whcih was also too hard/​crunchy. 1 out of 4 people liked this cookie.
Although the cookies were pretty big, I didn’t think they were worth $ 3.50 each. I wish they had smaller cookies options that cost less and/​or chewy cookie options. I regretted not purchasing their Carrot Cake Cheesecake Square ($ 4), since I was able to sample it and it was really good, but I was worried it would be too messy to eat at the game. That would’ve been a good deal since it was a large square, and was a good combination of carrot cake and cheesecake flavors. I also regret not trying one of their cupcakes, but hope to come back in the future and try some other items. If you come to check out Butter & Me, I would recommend you stay away from the cookies (unless you enjoy them crunchy) and go for the other baked goods instead!

Butter & Me makes the most delicious and beautiful cupcakes! Her buttercream with chocolate cake cupcakes are my most favorite of all. The frosting is light and delicious, and has the perfect balance of not-​too-​sweet, not-​too-​strong flavor. I have dreams about this frosting, it’s just that amazing.
Every time I call Kelly for an order she’s ready to accommodate me, and on several occasions has gone out of her way to help me get a delivery to a client.
I definitely recommend Butter & Me cupcakes for a special event, thank you gift, or client gift, you won’t be disappointed. They work very hard to make sure their creations are beautiful and packaged nicely, so they’ll be perfect for your recipient.
Delicious, beautiful, and professional, I absolutely keep these cupcakes as my impress-​me hat trick!

Carrot cake cupcake: pretty good.
Monkey bread: hard as a rock on the outside, and just okay in the middle.
That said, the décor is very cute, and the guy that was working was very nice.

We got a chance to try this place while on the Holiday crawl last Sunday. SO good!
Their storefront is easy to miss. Theyre located on the west side of Goldwater just south of 1^st Ave. The shop is small, mostly baking space, so they only have room for a few 2 seater tables. But it smells AMAZING. Since we were on the crawl, we had the chance to try their chocolate peppermint cupcake, so good. We each ended up buying a few of their sea salt/​chocolate chip, cranberry oatmeal (!), and molasses cookies. The molasses are my fave so far. The owners were super nice, and even gave my friend some doggie cookies to take home to her pooch!
Ill definitely be going back.
Keep your eyes out for their coffee shop annoucement!

I am tickled pink with sweet happiness that Butter & Me has finally opened a bakeshop! Now I don’t need to stalk them at farmer’s markets to fulfill my sweet tooth craving. The shop recently opened its doors and I must say, this is a Pinterest page’s dream! Everything has the DIY look and feel about it and the shop smells of sweet baked goods. Situated on the corner just steps away from The House, JAM and The Poisoned Pen, I think this is a great location and I hope to see plenty of foot traffic!
I recently stopped in for a sweet afternoon treat and left with two pumpkin cupcakes, homemade marshmallows and a puppy treat for Harley the cockapoo. The pumpkin cupcakes were oh-​so-​tasty and mainly due to the combination of soft and fluffy cake piled high with succulent frosting. Mmm… now I want another. The marshmallows were perfect for some hot coca and I especially loved the little artsy card that came with the bag. I can definitely find a reuse for that! Oh and Harley loved his treat too.
As of now, Butter & Me Bakeshop only serves baked goods, but I heard that they plan on creating a savory menu of sandwiches, etc as well soon. I also heard they plan to delivery! Amazing. I can’t wait to visit again and again!

I ordered cupcakes from Butter & Me for my little sister’s birthday party, and they were amazing too! Nothing short of perfect. They stole the show on the food table.

My sister in laws and my mom made me a beautiful baby shower back in March. Kelly did the cupcakes and cake and everything was absolutely amazing. Not only was she easy to work with (so my sister in laws shared) but everything tasted delicious and her attention to detail and coordination the day of the event was second to none. All of my guests raved about how delicious and beautiful everything was and I’ll have to agree! I have since used Kelly for another event and plan to work with her again and again in the future!

Thanks to Unilocal,I was able to find a delicious cupcakery in the PHX area that delivers!
Unilocal HQ is based in San Francisco, but we do have a rather large office in Scottsdale. One of our VPs was celebrating her birthday and we wanted to send her some yummy treats. Did a quick search and found Butter & Me. Emailed in and received a rather sweet response from Kelly. Over the next few emails we worked out the order and delivery and everything worked out wonderfully.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Kelly! Obviously my review isn’t about the cupcakes (though I wish I would have been able to enjoy one as well!), but this review is for Kelly and her awesomeness!

Awsome, Awsome, Awsome… I was ordering cupcakes for my boyfriends birthday. After a few e-​mails I followed a great suggestion of a dutch chocolate cupcake with brown sugar frosting and a BACON toffee topper.
I got mini cupcakes so that there would be enough to go around and they were perfect and so delishious. I cant say more great cupcakes, great service.

I wanted to do something different for my sister this year for V-​day and decided that cupcakes was the way to go. After doing some research I found Butter & Me online and decided based on all of the raving reviews I would give her a shot (pretty much blindly because her website didn’t have but just the main picture) and I am so glad I did!
I did all my ordering with Kelly via email and she was great and told me she was making a special V-​day box of cupcakes and card. Sounded like a winner to me.
Well my sister just called and LOVED her cupcakes saying they were the best tasting ones she has ever had and in fact had already eaten 3 of them. She said they were decorated beautifully with glitter and hearts and the card that Kelly had made was just precious!
it really made her day so I could not be happier and will order from them the next time I need a cake, cupcakes or something great from a baker that truely delivers and goes above and beyond!

As Kelly’s newest, biggest fan, I feel it is my responsibility to inform the masses that Butter and Me is the best, most delicious cake I have ever tasted! I just wished I had known about her a year and a half ago when I got married.
I stumbled across the Butter and Me name when I was reading a «most interesting» list, where she won for «most interesting use of bacon.» (Apparently she makes a bacon-​inspired cupcake that I haven’t tried, though commend her for her authenticity.) With Butter and Me on the brain, I called her and ordered a cake for my 4 year old’s birthday party.
Her cake was so incredible. The frosting had a rich consistency. The cake was moist and fluffy. She matched my party colors with great precision. At the odd request of increasing my frosting to cake ratio, (you can never go wrong with too much frosting) she delivered precisely what I wanted. An adorable, whimsical vanilla butter cream cake with a jumbo cupcake on top. (see picture.) And trust me, it is as delicious as it looks.
And above all, her customer service was worthy of the president. She was prompt. On time. Answered all of my questions in the most favorable of time. And the morning following my son’s party, she wanted to make sure that we liked her cake. I felt very valued as her customer.
I cannot wait to utilize her incredible talents in the future, (hopefully the near future) and I highly recommend you give her a call for any of your cake needs.

So for my b-​day cake I have a theory, if you have to get older, you better celebrate with the best cake you can find and this year I decided to try Butter and Me. Prob the best idea of my new age. I requested a cake version of a cupcake variety I had had a few years previous at the Scottsdale Culinary Festival, chocolate cake with brown sugar butter cream and bacon toffee bits on top. I wasn’t sure what shape/​size of cake I wanted but Kelly was very helpful and accommodating. The cake was spectacular and she had added a little glitter so it was pretty and girly but not garish. And the Brown Sugar Buttercream? O… M…G! I could eat it every day of my life it was so good and hands down one of the best frostings I have ever tasted.
I got tons of compliments on the cake, everyone loved it and I have NO idea how I am going to top this cake next year. People say they wish she would open a store front but I would be 500 lbs if she did!

Never met a cupcake I didn’t like. And sadly that’s the truth. I can find something positive in even the worst cupcake. Take Hostess for instance. I like to eat my icing last. Hostess is great for that since it’s easy to just peel it off the top, even if you then want to throw it away.
Now finding the Mr. Right of cupcakes is a little more difficult. But then I met Butter & Me. And the «Me» is referring to me. After having the opportunity to taste these fine confections at many a Unilocal event I was enamored. But after having a full-​sized model at Old Town Farmer’s Market (chocolate with tangerine buttercream), I can say «DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET ONE OF THESE BAD BOYS.»

AMAZING!
I’ve never been fond of things filled with stuff… like jelly filled donuts.
But their filled cupcakes are out of this world!

AMAZING cupcakes! Kelly knows her craft, & does it well. She is a super nice, local business person who puts out a top notch product. What more could you ask for? Oh you want them delivered? Well they do that too.
Right from their website: We offer free delivery in Scottsdale and charge a small fee for other Phoenix metro cities.
They are also at The Old Town Farmer’s Market every Saturday from 8:30 — 1:00. Make sure to get some cupcakes while you are there.
In closing, Chocolate Brownie Cupcake with Mocha Buttercream… I dare you not to eat it & love it.

Holy pumpkin pie… I don’t know whether to praise Kelly from Butter & Me or to hate her! On one hand, she is sweet as can be and her culinary creations are to die for… on the other hand, I’ve probably put on a few LBs because I take one bite and I can’t stop!
After experiencing Butter & Me cupcakes on several occasions (which are out-​of-​this-​world delicious by the way), I decided to trust my gut and order a couple of pies for Thanksgiving. I told my mom that I’d bring dessert, and voila — my task was «easy as pie.»
We went with one pumpkin ginger pie and one apple cranberry pie. They both not only looked like masterpieces but tasted like them too. Jared favored the apple cranberry while I still cannot get enough of the pumpkin… yum! And to top it off, they were delivered in the cutest wooden picnic basket, which hopefully will be used on a romantic picnic date in the near future (hint, hint Jared)!
A little birdie told me that Butter & Me will be opening up a storefront sometime in 2010… I can’t wait for that — or maybe I can!
