Stopped in after dinner with my wife to pick up a box of macaroons and a couple cupcakes. The cashier refused $30 in cash, so we left and took our money to Lady Yum instead. Cash is still money, it is still a currency, if I'm buying your product and you're refusing my money then we should still get the product.
Beautiful custom cake for the wedding shower turned out exactly as we envisioned! So beautiful and delicious too! Thank you SweetSide!
We had SweetSide cater the dessert for our wedding. They delivered the dessert bar and did the entire set up with some rental stands. It looked amazing day of, and the desserts tasted even better. 10/10 would recommend the cake pops! My husband's personal favorite were the macaroons. But everyone enjoyed the assorted dessert bar and it looked so good!
We ordered a birthday cake from their Totem Lake location. While the cake design was simple, it looked quite pretty. The flavor on the other hand was not great. The chocolate cake was hard, crumbly and seemed stale, the frosting between the layers and around the cake (two different flavors) had a weird waxy texture and were too sweet. Overall, very disappointing for such an expensive cake. The cakes (by the slice) that we have had in their store/cafe have tasted much better though. Not sure why the custom cake wasn’t good.
I would recommend the Sweet Side to all brides – we had a really good experience.I worked with Mindy for a 2-tiered wedding cake and some additional sweet bites for a dessert bar. She did a great job of answering all my initial questions and worked with me up until after contracting.We got a to-go tasting box and the hard part was narrowing down the two cakes and icings we wanted on the cake. We went with their famous carrot cake and cream cheese buttercream and the almond cake with swiss meringue buttercream.I also ordered their variety pack of bars to try, and they were really yummy too. The only downside of the tasting experience is that they don’t offer tasters or anything less than an order of 3 dozen of an particular item off the Sweet Bites menu if you want to try it (i.e., the fruit crisp shooter we ordered for the wedding, we never got to try it beforehand). Being a foodie and a type A person, that was a bit of a bummer and a little risky but not a huge deal.I liked that you could rent beautiful white dessert displays from them – it was one less thing to worry about when planning a wedding and they looked great.My now husband and I were pretty set on a simple design and we sent them a picture of what we liked, and they delivered exactly that! The cake was simple yet still a statement and delicious. After being on a diet for months, I choose to have leftover cake as my choice for breakfast the day after the wedding.

I ordered a $225 custom cake from here for my sisters birthday. My initial reaction to the design of the cake was great. Was very happy with the presentation of the cake. However, the taste was horrible. The buttercream icing was way too sweet, the chocolate cake was very dry and flavorless, and the Nutella filling(more like Nutella icing, and not the actual Nutella chocolate spread) you couldn’t even taste. I ordered here for the first time and I wish I had looked around more before ordering because now I have a cake that no one enjoyed and I’m $225 short. If you are a first timer here, please consider somewhere else because you will be disappointed.
The SweetSide cakes are presentation masterpieces! We had a six inch round naked cake for our wedding that had an elegant simplicity. Our florist added the floral decorations to the cake.I also bought a custom cake for my brother in law’s birthday! The SweetSide was professional, timely, and reliable every step of the way. They’re very transparent about pricing and were quick to deliver a sketch of his beer themed cake.Their custom cakes are very expensive so I don’t think I’d do it again, but it is a showstopper for special celebrations. The flavor of our wedding cake was wonderful as well. It’s expertly crafted, but the cake was a bit too densely packed / decadent for me.
My wife and I ordered a cake for our gender reveal party, and it came out absolutely beautifully! Thanks The SweetSide!
Ordered the Caramel Truffle cake for my wife's birthday. The cake was dry and flavorless. Very disappointed.
The best baked goods in Seattle, especially cakes. However, then closing at noon on Saturday’s really doesn’t make sense. Saturday is a prime day to prepare for (last minute) the weekend’s celebrations. With so many midday-evening events on Saturday’s and work Monday-Friday it basically means we’ll never get the chance for Sweetside. Sad, but hopefully they change soon so we can get Seattle’s best cakes.
