If you are ordering from their Allergy friendly menu, please have them double check the ingredients.. I went today for my first time.. Ordered 3 dairy Free cupcakes.. I ate one, it was delicious.. I was so excited to bring it home to my son.. 2 small bites and he reacted.. I called and the first girl suggested maybe it was something he ate earlier.. Um no, please accept responsibility.. The owner called me back and after double checking the ingredients found Whey Protein.. She had no idea that was dairy.. If you advertise allergy friendly, please educate yourself on what to exclude to make your baked goods safe to eat..** I did get refunded and she asked for a site she could visit to get more information about dairy ingredients.. ** Response to Owner : Yes and thank you! I really hope you take all necessary precautions to have actual dairy free items.. I am looking forward to trying you guys again if you change the recipe.. The less then 2% is still too much to anyone with a dairy allergy.. To be truly dairy free it needs to have zero of the ingredients derived from milk.. Im sorry if my above review seemed harsh, it wasnt intended.. It was more to save the life of anyone with a dairy allergy.. Allergies are not something to be taken lightly.. People with nut allergies can die just by having peanut dust in the air.. I am a huge advocate for not only my sons allergy but for others as well.. Its a tough world.. Not everyone knows or cares about people with food allergies.. To some its an inconvenience.. I know this all too well.. I applaud at your attempt to make a dairy free cupcake.. And although it was delicious for me to eat, my son who has the allergy could not.. Its very upsetting as a parent, to a child with food allergies, to watch your child react to something we thought would be safe and get upset after because he really wanted to eat it.. Again, not trying to come across rude, just trying to explain.. I will gladly remove this review if you fix the problem.. Like I said, we would come back and try again and I look forward to it.. I was just slightly upset at the lack of knowledge of dairy ingredients.. Anyone who offers such things should be a little knowledgeable of the subject so things like this can be prevented..

We had them do cupcakes for our wedding. I would not recommend them. They were the only aspect of the wedding that did not receive a single compliment. When we sampled them we thought they were delicious and my wife and I were super excited about their different filling flavors. I thought it was weird that they charged us for doing the sampling (no one else did), but we picked them anyway. The cupcakes we got at the reception were no where near the same quality they gave us during our sampling. The cupcakes at the reception had just a drop of filling in every single one. I know it was a lot of them bc I had so many to take as leftovers as people barely touched them. Ive eaten about 10 of the cupcakes, every single one has had a single drop of filling. Also, all the flavors pretty much taste identical. This was very disappointing as it felt like we got the bait and switch as they definitely put much much more effort into preparing samples and then gave a low quality product for the actual event. I wish I could post a picture to show how little filling they put in the cupcakes.

We gave them a clear photo of a violet cake and I also made sure the person who took down the order knew that the cake needed to be bright violet. What was given to us was not even violet it looked like peach they argued that it was lavender. The problem was nobody took responsibility and spoke with us on the matter until we posted the google review. So it bothered them only when we gave a bad review. We had the whole theme planned in violet and this cake just stood looking dull in peach or lavender or whatever. If the manager had immediately got in touch with us when we expressed our concern it would have atleast been OK. But we couldnt get in touch with anyone. Apparently its just business for them, they might celebrate life or cake or whatever but they dont value customers. I know this review will get a response from then denying everthing. I am sure someone has conscience in their place and will accept that they made a blunder.

The Best Wedding Cake Ever! Not only was the cake design beautiful, the cake was delicious. We had 3 flavors and 3 fillings. The Buttercream Frosting is delicious and not sugary, very smooth. The cake itself is very moist. Guests continually commented about what a great cake! The owner was a pleasure to work with and so was the staff. Delivery was as planned and the cake did well with the hot summer heat. My first experience with this baker was with a College Graduation Cake. The Design was true to the school colors and mascot. The Cake was delicious and moist. The Buttercream Frosting was amazing. I knew then that this would be my bakery of choice!

Found this little gem 6 or more years ago (at their previous location) when I went to pick up heart shaped pizzas next door for Valentines Day and hopped into the bakery to pick up some dessert. To date, I have NEVER been disappointed. By far, the best bon bons I have ever eaten! They are a party in your mouth! I stop by for the occasional sweet tooth fix and order all my birthday and special occasion cakes/ cupcakes from this bakery. Follow Celebrating Life Cake Boutique on social media - the cakes this boutique produces are AMAZING! Both looking and tasting! Give Celebrating Life a try - you will not be disappointed!

I have died and gone to heaven !!! Stepping in this relaxing shop put a worried mind at ease. For starters the ladies that are working the front are some of the friendliest group of people Ive ever met! Its not fake friendly they truly want to help and the main attraction dose not let you down by know means! The case display is so beautiful and everything I tasted was mind blowing ! From the pies to the cup cakes and all the goodies in between my birthday party was so amazing this is the place to go and give your ideas to them and them take it to a whole other level. Its worth the trip to go there even for a few sweet treats.

Bought a ready made cake and i was very hesitant. I bought it on a Wednesday for an out of town girls weekend and we werent going to eat it until Friday. I kept it in the fridge until Friday morning when we packed and drove 3 hours away. When we started to cut into it I thought after all this time this cake is going to be dry as a bone. OMG this was the most moist and delicious cake I had ever had. The young girl who sold it to me said it would be and she was right! So glad they are in my neighborhood because I just leave the baking to them from now on!
