Brooklyn Baby Cakes

I really wanted to like this place. The reviews on Unilocal were convincing and I loved how unique their flavors were so with an upcoming party I was excited to have a reason to finally taste their cupcakes and possibly order a full sized one. I am HUGE on customer service, especially for a small business, and the young lady working that day turned me off instantly. In an empty store, she didn’t greet me or even bother to look up and acknowledge my presence. After greeting her to get her attention, I asked her a question about the possible cake sizes and she answered with an attitude.
I actually turned to walk out after that but I really wanted to taste what all the hype was about so I turned back and order the coconut mojito and pink velvet cupcake. If the cake was good, I would’ve put up with her attitude to have it at my party but it wasn’t. The packaging was great, the cupcakes came in a little box appropriate for their little size with a sticker of their logo on top and then it was placed in a white paper bag that makes it perfect for gifting. And that’s where the compliments end. They’re pretty small for their price and they make even smaller ones. They weren’t moist at all and everything about it reminded me of store bought week old stale cupcakes. The frosting was so stiff that after putting it in my purse and powerwalking to the G train, transferring to the 7 train to pick up another cake to taste test and taking the 7 to work, it barely smeared on the box. It was stiff, too sweet, and thick. And the flavors weren’t memorable at all. There was nothing special about the pink velvet. The coconut mojito tasted a little like what it was, but I wasn’t wowed at all.
I doubt I’ll ever go back to this bakery. I can make a better cake from a Betty Crocker box sans the negative energy from the cashier

Very expensive, okay cupcakes, most importantly very bad customer service. They don’t have that many customers in the door but apparently they don’t want to answer questions when asked. When they do answer, short and looked annoyed.

Ugh, chocolate chip cookie was inedible: stale and tasted like it’d been made two weeks ago. The bread pudding was equally bad. Maybe I was just there on an off day…

The coconut cake is to die for!!! the people that work there are always very pleasant and the desserts are always fresh.

This place opens late, as in later than their posted hours /​whenever they feel like it. Flok app and Unilocal checkin special for discounts and freebies. Scored the butterscotch-​y banana pudding and paid cash due to the $ 5 cc minimum.

I ordered a dulce de leche cake for my son’s 16^th birthday. The cake was absolutely amazing. The last 3 or 4 years I have been ordering all of my cakes from from Babycakes, and I must say, they have been consistently great!

Attempted to satisfy a sweet tooth. Now my fav cupcake place, in BK is Brooklyn Cupcake but i wanted to stay in the neighborhood. So i purchased a simple vanilla cupcake. The cake was very oily. There was no flavor in the cake due to the oily nature. The frosting was actually good but the cake, not so much. I’ll stick with making my own or head over to Brooklyn Cupcake.

I soooo love this place!!! Their cupcakes are really really good. I Think I am such a «regular» here at this establishment, seeing how they already know what cupcakes I like vs the ones that I don’t like. Also, what I happened to just love about this place is the fact that it’s small, and quiet. There’s not that much seating, I think it may be only 1 or 2 tables, but that was really genius because they don’t have to worry about anyone just lounging around, Especially if they aren’t buying anything. I just love this place. Cupcakes are bomb, Service is bomb, and wifi is on fleek! (Totally kidding)

Really good cupcakes! The most enjoyable cupcake for me was the dulce… However, the staff are not very friendly. I have been there a few times and it has been the same each time. One of the employees has a major attitude every time I am there and the owner also always had an attitude like your doing something wrong by being there lol. This place is good for the culcakes only if your looking for good customer service go elsewhere.

My supervisor always gets cupcakes from here and they were always moist and had yummy frostings. She also raves abt their red velvet so i cant wait to try!

Cupcakes weren’t that great. Mediocre. The cashier wasn’t too pleasant but the lady in the back that was baking was a sweetheart. Don’t think I’ll be going back.

This place is devine!
I sincerely blame their Red Velvet cookies and cupcakes for my weight gain since moving to Bed-​Stuy. I swear I buy half of their cookie inventory every time I come in.
I used to just be a Chocoholic but have spread my affections to Red Velvet thanks to this place. I haven’t tried every sweet they serve, but I wouldn’t doubt they’re all amazing.

I had the red velvet cupcake. It was moist and the cream cheese frosting complimented it perfectly. As I took a bite and tasted the delicious goodness my eyes rolled to the back of my head! It is simply divine. Nothing more needs to be said.

–Oily frosting (I don’t like)
–Cupcakes weren’t that moist nor were they fluffy just straight oilified (I don’t like)
I ordered the red velvet, lemon & vanilla cupcakes as well as a slice of the Coconut cake. Tried each one except the lemon. They were iight.

No words. So good. See photo.

The deliciousness that comes out of this little place is just Amazing. After coming here several times and trying a wide variety of things I’m hooked.
The cupcakes are moist, delicious and just well made. This recipe is money (obviously) and should be guarded until the end of time. I really like how the treats here aren’t insanely sweet. Now don’t get me wrong they aren’t lacking any flavors but the sweetness is not overpowering where you take one bite and you feel like you are on a climb a mountain sugar high. Also a bit of TMI, I have extremely sensitive teeth and if something is too sweet it immediately strikes my nerves in an awful way. Not Babycakes!!! Love them for that.
Huge fan of the pink velvet, especially since I hate red velvet cakes and cupcakes. The salted caramel was to die for and I’m usually NOT a fan of salted caramel anything but again the flavor was not overpowering. My kids love the vanilla bean and watermelon lime (I have yet to try his one because my kids would not share with me :-(smh). They also offer mini cupcakes and I like that I can get them somewhere besides the BBM chain which I’ve only seen in the city. But don’t play yourself just get the regular sized cupcakes.
Let’s take a minute to discuss the banana pudding they offer. Oh my goodnessness!!! In my family there is one person who makes it, you grow up eating it, you are used to the flavors and that is your standard. NOT ANYMORE!!! BBC took the recipe a step further and added a layer of love (cinnamon and caramel). I liked the inside of my cup and not ashamed to say it. Really she should just put that mixture in a jar I would buy it and put it on everything. I had been missing out on this because I hadn’t tried the banana pudding the first few times I was there. The mango lemonade is a must try!!! Already excited to get my kids cakes from there next year!

This place is super cute and cozy. The watermelon lime cupcake is really tasty. The icing hits the nail on the head with the lime flavor. I could do without the sprinkles in the icing but I’m merely one person:). The cupcake was a great watermelon flavor and perfect for a summer day. I also tried the Mango Blueberry Lemonade instead of the Mango Lemonade Ice Tea and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Will definitely stop in again before I leave.

Ordered an assortment of 60 for my baby shower last year. Absolutely gorgeous and delicious! Because these cupcakes are smaller than the average cupcakes they are a perfect treat for smaller kids.
Another amazing thing about these little cakes is that they are so light and airy, they just melt away in your mouth. And the icing is also very light and not too sugary-​sweet.
The workers here are super friendly and professional. They called me the day before to reconfirm and made the cupcakes for me late at night so I could pick up first thing in the morning.
Four stars instead of five for two reasons: red velvet cake and icing were not as good as I expected, considering how amazing the other cakes were. And because the chocolate icing seemed just a bit too thin for me. It’s a matter of personal taste, but I would have preferred something more fudgy and less icing-​like.

Amazing. Nothing short of amazing! I got a slice of Red Velvet cake (which was approximately ¹⁄₆ of the cake — HUGE slice!) and my wife and I enjoyed the heck out of it when I got it home 8 hours later — still soft and delicious. It tasted like they had used almond essence giving it an almost Italian pastry flavor. The cake was not overwhelming or cloying, which is a frequent problem with red velvet cakes.
While I was waiting to be served, the lovely young lady behind the counter had just finished a batch of red velvet cookies (Really?) and when I asked if that is in fact what they were, she said yes and the she was going to have one. Did I want one?
Did I? OF COURSE I WANT ONE! I took one nibble (ridiculously tasty) and had to buy another just to make up for her generosity.
So, all told: a cookie 92 cents and an enormous slice for 6 bucks.
A more tasty bargain I can not recall.

I actually headed to Brooklyn from Harlem on Saturday to use an expiring groupon a friend had given me for 12 mini cupcakes which were STALE by the next day when I took them to a church meeting.
I just called the bakery only to be told that they were baked at noon that day, however I went at 1−2pm and they were the only 12 left in a cake display, with hard frosting and definitely not just made cake. AND I was told that I’m the only one who ever complained about their product; doesn’t everything start from one???
And, although the lady on the phone kept saying, in between being defensive… WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO??? I usually get a suggestion from the business but apparently they do it differently
Anywho…I’ll stick with Harlem’s bakeries because when they screw up, the practice positive customer service, not saving face~~~~
