Freshly baked desserts are the name of the game at The Sweet Stash, and they do their work well. Lauded for their, "dense, perfectly sweet" cupcakes, this is your spot if you'd rather leave the ultra-sweet on the side. Everything is high quality and beautifully presented as well, great for any of your personal events. (900 Rosa L Parks Blvd)
Dulce Desserts is best if you're looking for made-to-order event desserts, though they do offer a few over the counter eats. All cupcakes and regular cakes (they're phenomenal for weddings!) are baked from scratch, resulting in perfectly moist treats. You'll be raving about Dulce Desserts for awhile, folks. Once you taste one of their cupcakes, you'll never go back to that Betty Crocker box. (717 Craighead Street)
