It’z My Party Cakery

I’m glad that others seem to have had a wonderful experience with this bakery, but I had a totally horrible one and will not use them again, ever, and have told all my friends and family to avoid them. I ordered a custom 3D cake for my son’s graduation. A cake was the only thing he wanted – no party, no gifts, nothing else – so I wanted it to be a very special cake that represented him and his personality. I communicated with them numerous times through email and three times on the telephone, and they sent me a sketch (although they refused to send a final drawing or anything in color). I paid a total of $ 408, for the minimum custom cake order. I did NOT get what I paid for. There were important elements missing from the cake, even though they’d been on the drawing and we’d discussed them several times. There were other elements that were completely incorrect. One thing was the wrong color. There was damage to the cake when they delivered it and the work was sloppy – big gaps in something that had been wrapped around the cake (it was a round cake with an edible sheet of a decoration wrapping around it), huge dent in the side of the cake on one side. Holes in the fondant. White streaks through the «chocolate» buttercream – which tasted nothing like chocolate. The cake itself was crumbly and I’ve made box mixes that were moister and had better flavor. I contacted them, and I had numerous photos and all the email communications we’d had, but they NEVER RESPONDED TO MY MESSAGE. Again, I paid more than $ 400 to have a custom cake! I expected that they’d at least get it right, and that, for the $ 40 delivery fee, it would arrive undamaged. Otherwise, I would have picked it up myself and saved the money. I will never, ever, ever get anything from this place again. I’m also reporting them to the BBB.

Ordered cookies for my son’s 2^nd birthday party (he’s not a cake fan). So easy to work with, and fair prices. I explained that my son was having a train-​themed party and that I wanted 2 dozen cookies. My order was ready exactly when I was told it would be. I received four different styles of cookies which were all adorable (photo posted) and everyone raved about how cute AND delicious the cookies were! Very pleased and can’t wait for the next event so that I can order again!

I stopped in last minute to pick up some birthday treats. The cupcake selection was awesome. I got a 6-​pack variety of beautifully decorated cupcakes. I knew they looked great, but the true test was the taste. They were moist and delicious!
I will come back often!

Picked up my son’s cake on a Sunday and during the party, as we cut into it, we realized there was NOT any «fresh strawberries» inside the cake like we requested. Also I get that you cannot get a cake to be exactly perfect, but the cake had white marks (that some tried to wipe away, but failed) and finger prints. Very disappointed as they had 1 month ahead to get the order right. We will definitely not be coming to this place ever again and DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

This cake shop is amazing. Fresh variety of cupcakes (12 in their case to choose from exactly!!), beautiful cake designs, staff was friendly and knowledgable, and they have the best ham and rolls in the city.
Will definitely be back for their all natural buttercream that tops their delicious and moist cupcakes and cakes, which has a pound of REAL BUTTER!!! in each batch. They offer a sample of their freshly made buttercream if you’ve never had it before, which was really nice.
Will be back soon to get ham & rolls and more delicious treats!

They more than exceeded my expextations!
I was looking to order a cake for my baby shower so I scheduled a tasting.
I went in for the Cake tasting and they were very accommodating and patient while I chose my flavors. I gave her a budget and she worked with me and helped me choose the right options while still keeping the design I wanted. We ended up doing 4 dozen cupcakes and a mini cake with the theme on it. I mixed and matched cupcake flavors and buttercream flavors, (which is an amazing option to have when having a party and trying to please a bunch of people). I went with combos consisting of yellow, strawberry, chocolate, and banana cupcakes and mocha, vanilla, strawberry and peanut butter buttercream flavors.
When the time came to pick everything up I was speechless. The cake was amazing. The theme was perfect, and the level of detail and thoughtfulness they put into the cake was wonderful! They kept my idea but made it better!
I got lots of compliments on the taste and design of the cake and cupcakes, and everyone loved them!

It’s been a while. If you have seen my previous reviews you know that I am all about the cupcakes. Somewhere in there Milwaukee Cupcake Co (MCC) disappeared and left me wanting. In 2014 I was able to try some of these creations at a wedding I attended.
Location: It’z my party is on the corner of 53^rd and Bluemound. There is a parking lot to the north of the building that has a few spots (8?) and street parking
The product: I have been galavanting around eating cupcakes on the daily. It’s a nice little sweet treat for me. When I first had them in 2014 it was no exception. The different flavors allow the bakers to be creative but also put forth a superior product. I’ve been here a number of times over the last year. Always moist, dense cake. The frosting… i don’t know how else to say «It’s awesome». I am sure if this was on triple D Guy would talk about these cakes being Capital T «Tasty» and riding a river of frosting to flavor town with Mayor McFrostbottom.
Its what I am looking for in a cupcake. Prices that make sense (MCC was on the higher end) while coming at a good size.
The Customer Service: The people that work here are down to earth and friendly. In my mind if I was to create the quintessential bakery I would imagine the banter would be just like this. Personal and friendly. They get to know you and treat you as such. It’s worth noting that I have mostly interacted with the two gals there but it’s ⁵⁄₅ on this alone.
You can tell that they love their craft. They love being creative and coming up with various cakes and other sweet treats and they do so at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend popping in when you can. I mean you (the reader) happen to have tastebuds and these creations have a taste that I would truly say is fantastic.
Treat yourself or your kids or your friends… but mainly yourself. After all you deserve it :)

I went to the his quant bakery and bought a dozen cup cakes. I took them home and my family loved them!!! I went back several times for more cup cakes. My 3 yr old grandson not only ate the frosting but loved the cake too.
My daughters wedding reception was 4÷25÷15. I ordered her cake with 4 dozen cupcakes. We had the lemon for one of the layers of cake. The cup cakes were strawberry, baileys Irish cream, chocolate and more lemon. Everyone loved them. The cake was beautifully decorated. My daughter loved it. The guests said the frosting tasted so light and not so sweet. The cake was so moist. All around we were very, very pleased. I will go back!!! They are truly artists. They knew exactly what we needed and made it come true!!! Everyone was so helpful from behind the counter to the bakers.
Thank u so much for making a special occasion such a success!

We live in right down the block from this little gem of a place — we have been there more times than we care to count :)
We have tried the cupcakes, the cake pops, and the mini-​brownie bites — all delicious! The cupcakes come in fun flavors!
I used this place for my daughter’s surprise 30^th and they were very helpful.

When this quaint shop opened in our beloved Story Hill neighborhood, my partner and I were filled with mixed emotions.“CUPCAKES! Right down the block! Awesome!”…“Yikes, cupcakes… right down the block. There goes the diet!”
We’ve also been previously disappointed by a few other standalone cupcakeries in the area, from buttercream that has odd aftertaste, to the cardinal sin of DRY CAKE.
Let me assure you, not only is the cake moist and fresh each time you visit, but the buttercream (and all it’s decadent flavorings… from rich mocha to seasonal maple) is the finest we’ve had in a very long time. It is thick, but not too sweet. Usually too much icing for me, but I would much prefer my cupcake with an abundance of frosting that can be nibbled with my cake versus a sad lack of frosting that leaves my cake lonely.
Not only do we walk out with our half dozen cupcakes per visit (cause you have to get one of each flavor available!), but when we visit on Sundays we always pick up their Hot Ham and Rolls special. For around $ 7 you get about a half pound of freshly sliced Wisconsin ham and 6 fluffy kaiser rolls. Perfect Sunday lunch!
The shop is exceptionally clean, and the owner’s artistry skills are on display in their beautiful cakes and pastries. Be sure to check out their homemade gifts available for purchase, and… and this is a MUST: check out their cake portfolio. Holy moly, were we impressed. Tremendous cake decorating talent in that shop. And the girls that work in there are so friendly and inviting. If their cakes taste anything like their cupcakes, then I wouldn’t hesitate to order a special occasion cake through ‘It’z My Party’.
Two big-​buttercreamy thumbs up!
