Simply Sweet

Consistently delicious cupcakes and the prices can’t be beat. The space used to be more inviting, with a café-​like setting — but now the counter is squeezed up against the front door, when lends a crowded feel, and therefore makes the occasional line not worth the shove. But the service is great and the food is delicious.

These cupcakes are divine. I didn’t love the chocolate peanut butter, but my husband did so it could just be my taste buds. The red velvet and key lime are amazing. The cupcakes are so moist and the icing velvety. Yum.

What’s not to like about mini cupcakes. A coworker from Bastrop gave me a half dozen. The pumpkin one was delicious. I am looking forward to the butterfinger and strawberry ones. If I am ever in downtown Bastrop, I will be sure to stop in to get a dozen.

Simply Sweet was my savior for our wedding reception. At the last minute we found out we couldn’t use our original baker for reception cupcakes. So, we Unilocal’d bakeries in Bastrop (or reception was in Smithville) and found Simply Sweet. Without having time to try the Tres Leches cupcakes we wanted, we took a gamble and ordered them praying they would be good. Luckily, we we’re the slightest bit disappointed. Not only were they good, they were better than our original baker’s cupcakes. Our guest went crazy for them. We over ordered and had none left. Beyond happy with their service.

I used to work in Bastrop (live in Austin), and this place has ruined me. How can I ever buy a cupcake in Austin now? Thanks Simply Sweet… if I am ever jonesing for a cupcake, I’m going to have to drive 45 minutes out of my way because nothing would ever be as good. The Key Lime cupcake actually makes my soul sing a little. If you get one of the regular sized ones, prepare for a sugar coma. I can’t accomplish anything for at least an hour after. I will probably ask for them to make 100 cupcakes for my wedding. No lie.
If for some reason you don’t like lime (who are you?!), I also recommend the chocolate peanut butter, lemon raspberry, and red velvet. The ONLY one I’ve ever had that was just «good» was the cookie dough… but that’s probably because I like to eat my cookie dough straight from the fridge.

fu*k!!!
the strawberry cupcake is literally the best thing i’ve ever put in my mouth.
it is soo yummy. the cake is moist. it was like i was biting into happiness. there are fresh strawberry chunks in the cake. the icing is amazing as well. not too sweet, just perfect.
you have not lived until you have eaten the strawberry cupcakes.
it’ll make you want to slap your momma. in the face… twice
this review doesn’t do the cupcake justice.
go buy some now!!!
puts allll cupcake places to shame. i swear
p.s… have i mentioned how delicious the strawberry cupcakes are?

I have not been to their shop. A friend gave me a gift pack of there mini cupcakes. It was delivered. Everyone was delicious. There goes the diet. I especially liked the one made with fresh strawberries.

I think I’ve tried just about every flavor. None have disappointed. Our office likes to treat ourselves every now and then to a six pack of cupcakes. The service is great and friendly and I usually end up chatting for longer than it takes to get the cupcakes.

Simply Sweet is… Simply Perfect! I think I’ve tried all their cupcakes… red velvet, Italian cream, chocolate peanut butter, vanilla, strawberry shortcake, cheese cake & my favorite — Key Lime! They’re all fabulous! And, the «sweetest» couple own the place & treat you like you’re their #1 customer! I’ve tried lots of cupcakes… But these absolutely «take the cake!» Have a sweet tooth like me? Give them a try… You’ll be hooked! Just don’t blame me for the extra calories!

I don’t know what they do to their cupcakes or what secret ingredient they use, but OMG they are slap-​yo-​mama-​upside-​the-​head-​good! Seriously, they’re that good. I’ve shared a dozen with my co-​workers and they were an absolute hit… hands down. (I’m secretly using them to butter up my boss for a raise! Mwwahaha!) We all agreed we’d rather have these than cupcakes out of a shiny airstream anyday! I can’t speak for the rest of their goodies because I can’t get enough of their cupcakes, but I’m sure they are just as good. The customer service can’t be beat either. The owners are really nice people and seem to be really passionate about making delicious confections and giving awesome customer service. Bastrop — we have a diamond of a bakery downtown that needs our support. Give them a visit, and get a cupcake, you won’t regret it!

First enjoyed sweets from this Main Street gem for my siblings’ birthday. Have since been back multiple times. Their cupcakes are way tasty, and the service is top notch. I recommend it highly!

These cupcakes are so awesome. We got the six pack because we couldn’t decide on just one each :-) all of the flavored were delicious including the banana cheesecake. Even my husband who isn’t a big sweets fan said they were awesome. I think my favorite was the carrot cake but the peanut butter chocolate and the chocolate with whipped cream gave it a run for its money!

I want to start out by saying that this review is more about customer service than the actually goodies that come out of this particular establishment. I would also like to add that I am a high ranking member of Procrastinators United.
That being said, today is my best friend’s birthday. Since I am the procrastinator that I am, I decided at 8am this morning to have cookies delivered to his office in Bastrop. Yes, Bastrop. Talk about challenging yourself. So I call a popular cookie delivery company in Austin (I wont say the name because I still love them). Low and behold they don’t deliver to Bastrop. No shit, right? Then I decide to have an edible arrangement delivered. They WILL deliver to Bastrop. Oh but wait! They WILL deliver it to Bastrop… On Monday.
I finally searched for a local mom and pop located in Bastrop and found Simply Sweet. Their website has no information on pricing or delivery so I took a shot in the dark and emailed them.
Now here’s the customer service part:
1: They responded almost immediately to my email.
2: They told me that I am more than welcome to call before operating hours to place an order.
3: They returned my call after they missed it.
4: They agreed to deliver even though I only called 3 hours in advance!
4: They delivered right on time.
5: It only cost $ 13 for a dozen cookies including delivery!
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that I have yet to try one of said cookies. Although my best friend says they are perfect, this is my review therefore I will be the judge of their perfection. I’m sure there will be an update to follow.
Thanks Sheila and Steven!
