Smallcakes

Great place with great cupcakes! They went out of their way to stay open late for us when we had a cupcake emergency for our pregnant friend. Their chocolate cupcakes bring out my inner fat kid in the best way.

Cute shop and good assortment. The carrot cake and red velvet were awesome. The chocolate
With caramel icing was good but hoped for more caramel flavor. All in all a good little shop I’ll come back to.

I don’t eat cupcakes all that often but every now and then I get the idea of having one stuck in my head and there’s not a whole lot in there to distract me!
Smallcakes is very conveniently located for me so I have visited the shop on numerous occasions during the past year or so. The employees have always been friendly but the selection can be disappointing at times as can the cupcakes. I have never tried one that I disliked (though the large cookie sandwich looked much better than it really was) but if I’m going to pay that much for a single cupcake then I can get one that I like better by venturing just a bit further from home.

Love the cupcakes here! I’ve tried many different flavor and even ordered some for big parties. Cupcakes are good sized. There is always a little too much frosty on them for my taste though. Other than that, they are amazing!

A very small cupcake place. I got the wedding cake cupcake which was the special for that day. It was good. Could have been more moist. The icing was good; slightly heavy but not overbearing (less whipped texture as I was expecting), but nonetheless made well. Definitely tasted the slight almond extract as I was hoping for. The cupcake was slightly small though for a gourmet cupcake. It cost $ 3.50. Apparently you can get 2 for $ 5 if you have a KU student ID…

Been meaning to come by here a number of times and finally got a chance to walk in. The employee was waiting to greet us and engage in lovely conversation and all the flavor a throughly and tell us the populars. The shop is very small but being that the choices are somewhat limited to about 10 maybe your in and out in no time to enjoy the rest of Westport.
I got the caramel crunch and you know how icings are very sweet or a mix… Not here thank you Jesus. My caramel topping was actually caramel and slightly mixed with something else to maintain its texture and shape on top of a cupcake. Sprinkled with broken pieces of salted pretzels OMG ! Why did I take so long. Cakes are very basic but are tasty and moist. They more so worry about the toppings it looks like. And I am not mad at this.
Staff offered me a rewards punch card which is surprising most businesses either forget to offer or u have to ask like what’s up with that. I’ll be back Tuesday to get the strawberry shortcake cupcake.
Oh yea packaging is everything, I had to make a video. So cute.

Went to small cakes (not this location, shawnee mission parkway location) went on a Sunday at noon, ordered a caramel crunch to go and when I ate it the pretzel toppings were really stale. I’m not sure if we got left over cakes from a few days ago or it was just the pretzels.

I am so sorry, but this place is not for me. The cupcakes all tatsted the same, And I ordered three different flavors. The icing is piled on as high as the cupcake is. Just not my tatse.

I come here only to buy cupcakes for people’s birthday. I couldn’t eat one cupcake alone as I would have to go right back on a diet for the rest of the week. For most people who loves cream cheese or butter cream frosting, this is their place. It’s just not mine.
One thing I love about this place, it’s conveniently close to my work, making it easy to walk and pick up one to half dozen. The people working at the shop are friendly.

I’ve been there twice this week and the service has been friendly and the cupcakes were heavenly! I will be a returning customer.

Cake part taste like one chemical away from a ping pong ball. I guess I just thought for as much as they were charging, around $ 3.50 a cupcake, it would be, ya know more natural tasting, well as natural as a sugar attack can taste. I like the look of em, some are really cute. My company always wants to come here, they love their frosting, their signature poofy swirl, and it does seem really trendy to get sweets here.
Fun presentation, creative offerings, and service is nice although sometimes I feel bad for them like their bored out of their minds. They always do a good job of keeping the very small space clean.
No seating, at all. Lately when I go with company they are closed even though the hours posted say they should be open. I pretend to be bummed but I’m secretly joyful. Just because I don’t prefer them doesn’t mean I dont like them but I just dont understand how someone would want to come here when thier are so many other amazing homemade offerings on 39^th street.

Anything red velvet will tickle my fancy. This shop is so cute, nestled on the corner of a strip along 39^th. Super small but they only sell cupcakes… you really don’t need anything fancier.
$ 3.25 for a cupcake and a Buy 3, Get 1 Free deal on Fridays. They also give you a punch card where you can earn double punches on Tuesdays.

I was disappointed with the taste of my cupcakes. They didn’t seem to be fresh and tasted like something I could bake from home. My peanut butter cup cupcakes icing was gross. It doesn’t taste like peanut butter at all, it had a really strong cream cheese base. The girl taking my credit card didn’t know how to work the machine and it took 15 minutes before a coworker just did it for her

I love the pink décor and the cute hole-​in-​the-​corner vibe to this cupcakery. I got the pink chocolate which was lovely. The frosting was just the right amount of creamy and sweet. The chocolate cake was moist and soft. The only issue I had was the limited selection and the price. I would go once in a while but probably not all the time. Still a sweet treat !

Yum! Got a dozen for a dinner party. Great variety. I’m not holding it against them that this is a little chain. Small business is hard enough let alone running a bakery. Hope they do well in what is a perennially tough location. Seems perfect for Smallcakes.

Was so excited to come upon this great little shop down the block from KU medical center.
I was in town for the day, and being gluten free always limits my options. When I stumbled upon this quaint little shop.
I purchased both gf option: strawberry shortcake and another strawberry type cupcake. I took them with me for my flight back home.
On the plane I chomped down on them furiously.
The strawberry shortcake was a pretty sweet intense creation with strawberry soaked cupcake, icing, whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
Overall loved them and would highly recommend!

My hubby and I came in here after we had lunch just down the street. We’ve been to Smallcakes tons of times but not this one. This location blew the other ones of the water. They had way so many more options of cupcakes and the customer service was awesome! The girl working the front was super informative about the types of cupcakes and also told us about the rewards card. She informed us of the rewards card which I’m super excited about. OK to the cupcake! I picked the chocolate covered strawberry cupcake. The chocolate cake was sooooo moist. The icing was strawberry flavored with a little fresh strawberry on top. Another favorite. Well, I haven’t found a cupcake flavor here I didn’t like. I think this may be my new favorite location.

If you like grocery store cupcakes, you’ll love Smallcakes. In that case though I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just buy a cupcake from a grocery store since it would cost you half as much.
This is a national chain (84 stores in 18 states AND 2 different countries is hardly small), so it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that their work is less than awe inspiring. However, if cupcakes are the only thing a chain does, I still think they should be at least halfway decent at it.
I tried the birthday cake, peanut butter cup, AND the cookies and cream. None of them was any better than the others. They all tasted like they came from a box mix, and the frosting was so overwhelmingly sweet, I couldn’t even finish it. There was nothing about the flavor of the cupcakes that set them apart from each other either. If the frosting hadn’t been different colors, I wouldn’t have even been able to tell them apart.
The only positive thing I can say is that they looked nice. I’m pretty sure no one pays 3 bucks for a cupcake just to look at it though.
There are many other cupcake shops in Kansas city that not only taste better, but I can also feel better supporting as they are much smaller productions.

Stopped in to get a Happy Work Anniversary cupcake for a coworker (she celebrated 30 years) before work today. I was very impressed by how clean it is (Wasn’t this a hot dog stand last year?)
I like the pink, chocolate and white colors. It all works and once you step inside, one realize it is a tight fit (if there are others inside). I did mistake the window for a drive through type area (you know stand outside while they hand you your cupcake). I didn’t know you could open the door and step in.
Once inside the cupcakes are displayed at eye level (okay they had me at hello). Deciding which cupcake to choose was the tough decision. I picked out wedding cake (a pearled covered white almond cupcake), chocolate mint, cookies and cream and a pink topped chocolate cupcake.
the person at the cash register was friendly and very customer service oriented and also had the patience of a saint! (the 3 people ahead of me were a mother with her 2 teenage daughters who couldn’t decide what they wanted and then kept adding on to their order while asking the price for each cupcake)!
I like how they have the little swipe thing on their phone if you have credit card and since I am already in the system I just needed to press a button.
I will be returning. The cupcakes were delicious and it seems like a cute little business I hope will be a welcome addition to 39^th street.
Please check them out if you are in Kansas City by KU MED. and if not, make effort and just check them out.

Divine, delicious, melt in your mouth tasty cupcakes of all assortments & flavors. 150 different flavors an I look forward to the days they rotate out flavors so I can try and sample the ones that sound intriguing.
My husband & I stopped in after our dinner last night to check this place out as I had heard about it from a co-​worker. She sent me pics of her adventure there on Friday, which was the «soft opening» of small cakes on 39^th. I was instantly drooling and jealous. So to stop in was a must!
We walk in & are greeted by a lovely woman who was eager to share with us the owner of smallcakes story and success. He’s been on the View, and Cupcake wars which made me even more eager to taste one of his cupcakes.
I had a hard time deciding but instantly knew I was going for the carrot cake cupcake as it’s one of my favorites and the maple bacon (who could resist that one)? My husband got the chocolate cream and a huge chocolate cookie sandwich. We scarfed down half the cookie sandwich on the way home which reminded me of a Little Debbie fudge round but in large proportion.
We were instructed by the lady serving the cupcakes on how to eat the cupcakes to get the full experience & taste of these wonderful little cakes. So I grabbed my fork & little saucer and placed my cupcake atop. The first bite of the maple bacon cupcake was beyond mouth-​watering and more than I expected.
Will return for sure!
