Smallcakes is a cupcake shop located on Custer Road. The cupcakes are $3.50, but the shop also offers other items like cookie and brownie cups.

The location may be hidden among several other stores right next to it, but Small Cakes stands out as the most appealing and one of the only dessert places located on Custer Road near Target shopping center off of 121.

The smell of cupcakes and different pastries fills the air as you walk into a pink and light green themed room. The first thing that stands out are the unique green, round chairs and the light filled white chandeliers. The room is bright, clean, and kid friendly. There is a variety of cupcakes, smoothies, and other unique desserts to choose from.

Among the signature flavors for the cupcakes are pink vanilla, hot fudge sundae, vanilla ‘N’ chocolate, birthday cake, strawberry, caramel crunch, wedding cake, decadent chocolate, lemon drop and red velvet. The wedding cake and the red velvet were very enjoyable and the flavors vary with a unique blast in each cupcake. All of the cupcakes have a different taste to them which makes them all unique.

Along with cupcakes, Small Cakes also sells cookie and brownie cups, cupcake in a jar, cupcake parfaits, cakes, and cupcake shakes. The cupcake parfaits, cupcake in a jar, and cupcake shakes are somewhat expensive with each being $4 and above. There was also a fridge to get a variety of drinks from.

There are many places to sit and enjoy your dessert. There are a variety of seats from comfortable brown couch chairs to small, cute pink chairs. There will always be room to sit down with the amount of seats and tables offered. Along with the lounging availability, there is also a television to watch while enjoying your dessert.
What better way is there to end your experience with a souvenir of a t-shirt, hat, gift basket or a coffee cup. There’s likely to be room in your budget to buy a souvenir as each cupcake is $3.50 with a dozen $39.00. Whether you get a souvenir is a personal choice, but those looking for a nearby dessert fix should head to Small Cakes to satisfy their sweet tooth craving.
