De Novo Delights Bakery

The best red velvet cupcake I’ve ever had! My husband said that these were the best cupcakes he’s ever had!
I got the groupon deal for 2 dozen cupcakes as a «side» order for my son’s one year birthday party. We have a 3-​tier «real» fondant cake already, but everyone loved the cupcakes better! They were just super tasty and moist! Thanks Pat!

What wonderful cupcakes!
I had no problem finding the kitchen. Pat is great and went out of her way to add some glitter to our order.
We ordered 4 dozen (2 of each) for my daughters first birthday. We received many compliments about the cupcakes.
I would definitely purchase again!

Pat is a wonderful baker and a warm and delightful lady. Red Velvet cupcakes were awesome as were the orange vanilla – a really big hit at our birthday party. She was very accommodating about us coming to pick up from the industrial kitchen where she bakes. We also got a look at one of her cakes when we went to pick up which was really cool looking with photos on it. A very talented woman!

I ordered a dozen of the red velvet cupcakes for my party and everyone loved them! They were moist and flavorful! Pat was super nice and flexible on pick up times. Will def order again :)

We have purchased cupcakes from Pat on many occasions, most recently we had them at our wedding in lieu of a cake. I am not particularly into sweets, and yet I randomly think of these delicious cakes and can’t get them out of my mind. All of the cupcakes are good, but the RED VELVET is absolutely incredible.
I don’t think we will ever go to anyone else for cupcakes or cake, because Pat (executive pastry chef) is the absolute best.

I was given the red velvet cupcakes for my birthday and I am now a huge fan! Highly recommended, there were a big hit by the group.

I had procrastinated and forgotten ordering a cake for my birthday party. I tried about half-​a-​dozen places before Pat answered my desperate call. She was moving the day I needed them but actually came in to make me delicious cupcakes for my party. The red velvet were the best I’ve ever had? I HIGHLY recommend De Novo Delights for cupcakes and cakes… saw some of her cakes and they were works of art and I’m sure just a tasty as the cupcakes.

I will admit I am hard to please when it comes to cupcakes and have my go to place for all my cupcake needs however De Novo has definitely landed a place on my short list of places to go for cupcakes. A colleague recently brought some in to our office singing De Novo’s praises — knowing they are not easily swayed I figured I’d give the red velvet «muffins» a shot… I am glad I did!
They were perfectly sized, moist, not overly sweet, and the frosting was light and fluffy without being wrecked by being mixed with a copious amount of sugar as most frostings are. The next time I have a hankering for cupcakes or have a get together I will definitely make the trek out to West Seattle and try more of De Novo’s treats.

RED VELVET CUPCAKES! if you are a red velvet fan, then look no further. i’ve gotten used to the cupcake on steroid — overcompensating with frosting or some exotic flavor. but let’s go back to a simpler time when it’s just good ingredients, standard size and a little bit of frosting. it’s delicious!
i came here to pick up 2 dozen cupcakes for a party. some things to note:
— you should call in your order and when you will pick up
— location: i live in west seattle and this place is in west seattle and i never heard of this place. it’s in a nondescript commercial building near the YMCA. so just follow the address and go inside. i ended up going through another commercial kitchen and they told me where to go.
— you basically walk into her industrial kitchen. so don’t expect some fancy, cutesy bakery.
— the owner was very friendly and she showed me her viewing book. she was happy to tell me that she also loves doing cakes, wedding cakes, and particularly cakes with images (like getting your face on a cake — how awesome is that!).

Certain foods will do it: really good brisket, spicy red beans and rice, a slice of moist red velvet cake… these things will remind me of Texas. But enough of the homesickness of my taste buds, let me tell you that De Novo does red velvet right!
I was recently at a potluck where a friend brought their red velvet muffins and some of their lemon-​orange pound cake. She also brought fresh fruit for the pound cake and some unsweetened whipped cream for the muffins. She chose to buy them un-​iced… let me tell you, those baked goods paired with some super strong French roast coffee? It was PURE HEAVEN! I will definitely check out their storefront the next time I’m in the area.

Pat’s red velvet cupcakes are delicious. I have tasted most of her competition and she really hits it out of the park. They are a must try.

I ordered red velvet cupcakes for the bride to be last minute to surprise her as it is her favorite red velvet cake place and Pat made it happen. Pat even did the cream cheese frosting for us and made the cupcakes extra big to really surprise her. I bought the cupcakes for the bachelorette party, everyone loved them and the bachelorette was very happy. Great service, delicious cupcakes AND frosting! Thank you Pat you made her day!
