I normally don't give "good" reviews that much, but today before putting head to pillow I have to give a shout out to "Sweet Somethings Desserts!!" They literally saved my baby shower for my daughter. They customized one of their cakes (Raspberry White Chocolate Mousse, cupcakes (Yellow w/white frosting), and sugar cookies so the color theme could come to fruition. On top of that, their cakes (also Chocolate Silk Torte, cupcakes, and sugar cookies were SO DE-LISH, EVERYONE wanted to know where I bought it from. Thank you Sweet Somethings Desserts for magnificent service and products!! You are definitely #1 in my book!! See you soon!!

I recently attended a good friend's daughters' 1 year birthday party and they had ordered cupcakes from Sweet Somethings...Now, I consider myself a bit of a cupcake expert but these were beyond the pale! Heavenly. I highly recommend!

Great customer service and amazing cakes. This is our second time ordering from Sweet something’s. Definitely our permanent bakery! Thanks for making all of our events special with your delicious pastries!

I am in love with this place. After 4 years in Wilmington, we've looked high and low for a good bakery and finally found it! This place is not only much more affordable compared to other bakeries in the area, but the cakes and cupcakes are amazing. For my son's 1st bday, I asked for a "little prince" themed crown cake and they did an amazing job - a work of art, really. The cake was so pretty I didn't even care if it tasted good. But let me tell you, it tasted BETTER than it looked. Got the marble buttercream cake that has layers of what tastes like fudge, chocolate and vanilla mousse. It was amazing and my guests couldn't stop commenting on how good it was. I was thrilled and we will definitely be going back to this place. Best-kept secret!

I stopped by Sweet Somethings after a friend told me about a cake she bought for her son's birthday party, and how amazing it was. There was a small office party we were having at work recently, so I decided to pick up some nice treats for everyone. I ended up with a variety of delicious cupcakes along with my now favorite dessert, the hawaiian sea salted caramel bombe. Everyone in the office loved everything! - including myself. I highly recommend sweet somethings for any type of celebration. I will definitely be back.

Had the opportunity to meet the owner and sample some dessert from here. The owner was downright jovial, and the cake was amazing! There is an obvious passion on the part of the owner to make something amazing with each treat, an endeavor which he constantly achieves.

Rafael Pinto

Cupcakes are delicious.

This place did absolutely amazing on the cupcakes and cake that I ordered for my daughter’s first birthday party! The picture I showed them was exactly what they did for me. I want to give a special shout out to Victoria who decorated the cake! She is so sweet! Even walked the cake to the car for me. I will definitely be returning for my other two kids birthday parties this year! They weren’t pricey at all either!

My wife and I used Sweet Somethings for our wedding cake in October 2018. Overall, we had a positive experience. Our guests loved the marble cake as well as the seasonal cake flavor (pumpkin walnut)! They did a great job following our requests for the cake decoration as well. At times, we found Sweet Something was a little difficult to get ahold of. Additionally, there was some initial confusion about whether or not they were able to do a gluten-free wedding cake. The lava cake option, which is their one gluten-free option, is very tasty but not what we were looking for. Overall, we recommend Sweet Somethings!

Amazing cake for my wife's birthday, commissioned by her brother. Perfect end to a great dinner at Krazy Kats. When they brought the cake out we were stunned! They did a terrific poker themed cake that we spent several minutes taking pictures of before they took it away to cut it. When it seemed to be taking awhile to get it back, we joked that they probably put it up on ebay and got a hefty sum for it. When we did get it back, the cake was delicious! Presentation and substance sometimes don't match up but this was one perfect cake in every way!

Stood at the counter behind one family. Then another Caucasian woman walked in. When our turn came up the moron at the counter asked the white lady if we were next. Did she need confirmation to serve us. The woman in line behind us actually got served before we did. Racists jerks operate this establishment. I've had better cupcakes from Philadelphia and surrounding. Try Cupcakeology. You'll be welcome there.

I would not give a star if possible. We were waiting in line, then a white lady came in and passed us, and we were next in line. The owner chatted with her, took her order and completely ignored the fact that we were next in line. The cake we ordered was not as we expected. Bad texture and taste. Total waste of money.

Christine Kohler

Everytime I go here for a random cupcake or treat it's good...similar to other bakeries in the area..but when I call and ask for something semi specific like a cake from thier site I get the run around. It's a Monday, it's too late notice (for a plain Jane cake calling on a Tueaday for a Friday/Saturday pickup). I've tried twice to order from them and both times I've been given excuses. I do not reccomend this bakery.

Janell Richards

Bought a cake for my Son's birthday. It was so good.

Effat Harris

Last minute, in need of a cake for our Daughters 13th Birthday & Sweet Something fulfilled our need! That Strawberry Pound Cake with White Chocolate Mousse filling was A Hit! We will definitely be returning. Thank You

Diana Long

Thank you Sweet Somethings!!! We had the absolute BEST Wedding Cake in the World!!! Our guests all raved about how fresh, scrumptious and beautiful it was. Thank you so much... You will forever have our business. xx

John Gardley

I purchased a lemon coconut cake for a small birthday party it was the star of the event. I'm a believer of the theory that you pay for what you get and this bakery does not disappoint. All of my future needs will definitely be served by this establishment.

Jennifer Augustus-Brandon

I stop by here often and purchase one serving size cheesecakes, sometimes two. I enjoy every bite of my yummy cheesecakes. :)

X Han

Owner is a nice guy. But the cake doesn’t taste good and give me stomach pain.

Gia Bella

Not many nice places in Wilmington, DE ...but this is one of them. Why bother with the disgusting, fake bake goods at Shop rite, when you can have delicious baked goods made with “real” ingredients? Love & love this place!

T T

I have had so many of their cakes over the past few years as this is the ONLY place my firm gets cakes from...because they are soooooo tasty!! I have had the carrot, german chocolate, chocolate silk, chocolate caramel ganache, lemon with raspberry sauce, chocolate oreo, and a chocolate peanut butter cake. I couldn't pick a favorite if I tried!!!! Fabulous...always!

Shanna Warren

I walked into this bakery yesterday afternoon. This was my first visit. The gentleman who appears to be the Manger or owner, greeted me as I walked in. An adorable little girl held the door for me when I walked in and left after my purchase. I was celebrating my boyfriend birthday. I purchased 4 cupcakes; strawberry shortcake, lemon, oreo cream and vanilla. We tried the strawberry shortcake together. Omg, it was amazing!!! It taste exactly like a strawberry shortcake, it's very moist, full of good flavor... absolutely a perfectly made cupcake. Delicious cupcakes and good customer service. We agreed we will be back to try more.

I was worried when I read few reviews around racism, but my experience with Mr Lee cleared them right away. He's a good guy. I would definitely recommend this place for your sweet craving :)

Joseph Jacome

I have to say that this place makes the best chocolate cake. EVER. they are always nice in there and passionate about what they are doing. But don't take my word for it. Grab a cupcake and see for yourself.

Rachel Savage

I placed a small order for key lime cupcakes this past week for a lunch celebrating my friend’s Master’s degree. Everybody, myself included, raved about how delicious they were. I can honestly say that it was the best cupcake that I’ve ever had. I had called around to a number of other bakeries in the area and none of them were willing to do that specific flavor unless it was a particular day, none of which would have worked for the scheduled lunch. Additionally, out of all the bakeries that I had called, the gentleman that I spoke with was by far the most friendly and helpful. When I came in to pick the cupcakes up, not only did Sweet Somethings smell like heaven, but the store was really clean, and the gentleman that cashed me out, who I assume was the same I’d spoken with a few days earlier, was just as friendly. I just wanted to thank you for wonderful customer service and stellar cupcakes! This will be my go-to from now on!

Emily Durán

We ordered several kinds of desserts from Sweet Somethings so we could have a dessert bar at our wedding. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was amazing. I thought I ordered way too much, but people loved it so much that there was only a few slices left! Everything looked good and the service was awesome - every time I walk in there is a smiling face to greet me. I will recommend this shop to EVERYONE. In fact, I'm going back tomorrow to get my mom a treat for mother's day! Enjoy!

john reynolds

The most pefectly, wonderful, delicious cake I've had in years. Above and beyond service with a smile. There's no other bakery for us. I can't sing their praises enough.

Dheeraj Mummareddy

Even though the cake was good, their service was really really poor and rude. And totally agree with the racists comment and its so sad.

Kerry Reinbold

We purchased a Star Wars “inspired” cake for my son’s birthday. The cake was not only beautiful but very delicious. I’m not big on sweets but I tried the cake and found it so good I went in for seconds...... I’ve noticed that a lot of cake makers sacrifice taste for that social media perfect looking cake, we got both!!! Very pleased

Nora Huber

I bought 3 cupcakes today (Tuesday). I have only tried the strawberry shortcake cupcake but it was dry and kind of stale. Probably left over from last week. So disappointed.

Michele Savage

If it was possible I would give less than a star. I started purchasing cakes from this bakery for my sons birthday when they first opened. I got my last cake from them today. The experience was wonderful up until last year. I contacted them a month before my sons birthday and when I called them the week before to check on my pick up time and they had no record of my order. Luckily they scraped something together quickly and I chalked it up to a bad day at the bakery. This year I called to order and sent a picture. The owner called me back and said he couldn’t do what I wanted in fondant but I explained that I didn’t want fondant and that I was okay with whatever they could do with Just the regular frosting. I told him that was what they had done for me the years before. Let’s just say when I went to pick up the cake there was no decoration, and it looked like they had taken all of 5 minutes to put the icing on. I also loved how the owner couldn’t even manage to greet me when I walked in but when some other lady he must have known walked through the door he chatted up a storm. Guess he didn’t care much about a loyal customer because now he just lost one. Never going back again!

Julie Shaw

Oreo cupcake was delicious!!!!!

Lisa Riley

Love their cakes. Had a specialty cake made for my sons 3rd birthday and it was the talk of the party. Thank you Sweet Somethings

Joshua Olney Zide

Amazing desserts and great service. This is the place for carrot cake (my wife's favorite)

Diane Slaninko

We found this treasure on North Union Street in Wilmington after we made a wrong turn. How lucky for us. Over the past few months, we've gotten their White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie, Raspberry White Chocolate Mousse Cake and the Carrot Cake - all are outstanding. Overall, we've experienced excellent staff and wonderfully exquisite treats at Sweet Somethings. We highly recommend their desserts for any occasion. BTW - Re reviews from several years ago - the offending partner is no longer affiliated with Sweet Somethings. I found this out talking to a customer outside Sweet Somethings and it's been confirmed online :)

Clint Iverness

Best Brioche buns ever.!

Sandra Korines

One star is too kind in my opinion for the place that forgets to make your children’s birthday cake. I ordered a cake for my twins’ 4th birthday. The girl taking my order checked with the decorator to make sure that she would have enough time to prepare my cake which she said she did. Imagine my horrified surprise when I show up on the day of my children’s birthday to pick up the cake they were so excited about only to realize that the decorator forgot to make it because she “thought it was for tomorrow.” I’m not sure how you make a mistake like that when you were there when the order was placed and the order sheet clearly said Tuesday, July 16th on it. What made it even worst is that instead of immediately apologizing for her complete failure she tells the girl at the counter to let me know that she will reach out the following day. Today I get a voicemail from this decorator saying that I can call her back if I want to talk to her about what happened yesterday. Once again no apology. How do you not take responsibility for ruining someone’s special day and failing to do your job? No accountability whatsoever. What a disappointment. And no, a free white, vanilla cake did not make up for failing to do your job!

Sarai Rivera

Good palce a little difficult to identify as the color are dark green, employees are not friendly and they should have more variety of bake goods to go, maybe a couple of tables or chairs need it and the packaging is a little off , platic containers whit no liner. But they where flavor was good a above average bakery.

Daniel Lieberman

I have been coming to this bakery for years and it's always AMAZING. Such a creative and uh unique product offering. I loved their baked goods so much that I carried them in my retail store until I closed. The owner, Lee is always pleasant and great to deal with professionally. Now I drive 30 minutes just to go to this shop. Love it!

I'm one to complain....No Complaints

I found this place while searching on Google to pick up something small for my landlord's birthday. This place is smaller shop with open baking/work-space with open industrial look. I personally like that industrial look. When I went there they did not have more options out but they had enough to start with and more in the back as I was told. Gentleman who helped me was very helpful and nice. He explained me all different flavors and options patiently. I really like this place and will be open to go back. I even had a discussion with guy and told them to try "CupCake War" challenge on Food Netwrok..lol Good place to try!

David Brake

Incredible pastries at a reasonable price!

Lesley McCorkle

Phenomenal desserts, with something available for everyone's taste preferences. Amazing flavors and decorating details are spot on! Definitely a new favorite for our family.

suah coco

Daywalker392 Hemi

They did a baby super hero cake for my daughter's baby shower. It was a big hit!!! Thank you!!!!

Michael Stiglitz

No better Desserts PERIOD! I can't say enough about the quality and service. Made from scratch every bit.... Every minute of every day.... Love them Pastry Chefs too!

Josida Diaz

I just went here for the first time and I love it. A man who seemed like the owner greeted me and told me what they had based on what I like. I didn't feel pressured to get anything and what I got tasted amazing. I will definitely come here whenever I have a sweet tooth.

Apostle Terence Walker

This place is just awesome. The people working there really know their desserts. Great service. Great pastries

Andrew Brandes

I Have previously purchased several cakes from this bakery. They all have been good. I tried to call all day, left 2 voicemails never heard back. I finally got thru today and was told they could not make a basic cake in 2 days. Even after expressing my discontent , I was told I could pick something out of the case if. There might be something available that I would like. Horrible service !!!! Don't think I will go back.

Renee Gardner

My only complaint about this wonderful place is their hours. I can never get there before they close.

Karen Velitskakis

Excellent cakes and wonderful personnel !!

Siana's Life

Great customer service, desserts were soooo good!!! This is my new spot when I'm craving something sweet.

Darin DeFer

Girl at the counter didn't seem interested in my business. Stood there yapping with her friend and ignoring the customers while we queued up. I left, don't have time for that kind of rudeness

Mariana Walters

Way to sweet, cream was terrible and cake texture was as if I’d been baked a week ago. Disappointed!

lisa donovan

Rude staff! They ignore people and are never helpful. It's like you are bothering them by coming in to purchase something.
