Tart Bakery

I love This place! Jessica is really nice and she is very professional! This place is closed on Sunday & Monday so get your sweet tooth needs on Saturday which they close at 4pm! I work in restaurant and it’s really clean organized!

Even if you don’t buy from them they’ll write whatever you’d like on your cakes/​cupcakes etc for just $ 5. So nice! I can bake but my icing writing skills are not up to par. very convenient. Thank you ladies!

Small, stale, expensive macaroons. $ 1.75 each. Really?

The brownie pie is delicious. The chocolate torte is only ok and terribly expensive. But avoid the dinner rolls, they were completely inedible

I called on Tuesday afternoon to request a coconut cake with specific decorations for 15 people
Not only is Tart extremely accommodating, the cake was ready by the next morning
The cake itself was a beautiful hit! «Best cake I’ve ever had» was said by all
The shop is very easy to get to and the service is impeccable
Thank you for a wonderful experience
We will order all of our cakes from you from now on!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I thought I would run in and buy a few treats for my teacher friends to celebrate the end of a difficult week. The door was unlock and there stood 3 people. I was told they were closed. It was 6:04! I’m glad their business is good because the won’t get anymore of mine.

Went today to buy 2 dozen cupcakes, we weren’t greeted and then after waiting for 15 minutes while the lady talked on the phone we left. Discussing cake prices isn’t as important as money standing in front of you. We went to a different cupcake place bought our 2 dozen and were out in 2 mins. We won’t be back, under staffed and mismanaged. Go here and plan to wait for staff to talk on the phone.

— WEDDING BAKER + MORE REVIEW —
We went with TART as our wedding bakery because we wanted more than just wedding cake. My husband really loves fruity desserts and fell in love with the minis here.
Yes, wedding and regular sweet treat outing, this place is expensive but it’s worth it. I’ve tasted my way in sweets around the block (and quite a few continents) and there aren’t many bakeries in Dallas I can tolerate that don’t come across as dry chalk in my mouth or worse (cough cough Frosted Art) «bread» soaked in syrupy crap to make it appear «moist»).
My husband also really isn’t into sweet sweets so we tried their European buttercream frosting because like others found their American one too sweet and sugary for our liking. What a hit this was at our wedding! It was so delicious. I’ve never seen him eat that much cake. I love their array of items and found the price fitting for what we received. I’m totally happy with them.
The only thing I wish was that they hadn’t switched coordinators midway through my wedding planning. I loved Michelle and found the second woman didn’t have the same customer service which is so huge in the wedding industry. That was my make or break criteria when picking besides the quality of the product was how fast they communicated, if they gave me gruff because I needed to make a change, etc.
Patty on the other hand was super quick with her responses and very helpful. I loved this place!
These are the items we served at the wedding:
— Wedding Cake = Black and White with European Frosting
— Groom’s Cake = Lemon Tangy with Fondant to make drum shape and logo
*** I’d like to add that it wasn’t just fondant but fondant on top of normal frosting because nobody likes fondant so you were still able to enjoy some frosting with the cake if that’s your thing albeit neither of us are frosting people but we ate the hell out of the European frosting
— Salted Caramel macarons (These were the first to go! We didn’t even get one!)
— Lemon Shortbread Cookies
— Mini Fruit Tartlets
— Mini Key Lime Tartlets
I still love TART and we plan on re-​ordering all the same items so we can re-​create the wedding meal we didn’t really get to eat all of, haha.
The best way to describe my general palette when it comes to sweets is like this… there are very few Red Velvet cakes that are up to my par. I’ve met maybe one or two because to me red velvet isn’t because of stupid food dye it’s because you can taste the cocoa powder. If I can’t taste it then it’s a fraud. If you find yourself often in the same boat, and also don’t think box cake is cake, then you’d probably like Tart. They’re legit.

I went originally to test the macarons but actually kinda fell in love with their cupcake. I have only tried the red velvet cupcake but it was really good. The cake was moist and the «sweet cream» icing was just perfect with a bite of cake :0) I would definitely come back for the cupcakes, but I really was disappointed when I took a bite into the macaron. Normally, macarons have a soft, chewy texture to them with a light crisp but the ones I tried at Tart were hard and it would crumble into pieces when I took a bite. Very displeasing. :(The flavors were not that bad (I had passion fruit and pistachio) but the texture of it really threw me off and made the experience not worth it. Like I said, I will probably only go back for some cupcakes.

We were in Dallas this past weekend for my birthday, and my husband ordered my cake from Tart.
I was annoyed that the little trim of white frosting didn’t go all the way around. For a $ 60, six inch cake it needs to be perfect. I asked them to fix it, and they did.
Other than that flaw, the cake was beautiful and it was absolutely delicious. The frosting was so smooth, I thought the whole thing was fondant, but when I was cutting it, I quickly found out it wasn’t.
The flavor was incredible, and the texture was was perfect.
It was the perfect 30^th birthday cake =)

Tart Bakery offers all kinds of sweets no matter what your craving! From petit fours to giant cookies and mini cakes to macarons, Tart dreams up some truly delicious creations.
This bakery creates some of the most beautiful customized cakes for all sorts of different occasions and even custom items that you wont find sold in their stores (like homemade snickers!).
Everyday Tart offers the public a few select treats that you can walk in and grab, but you better come early, these delicious nibbles won’t last long behind the glass cases.
I love that Tart serves up macarons throughout the entire year and not just on the expected holidays. They even offer seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice for the Fall.
The only negative I have about Tart Bakery is that the staff could be a little friendlier and the parking off Lover’s Lane is a hot mess, of course, but there is a big lot behind the shop where you can park and walk around.

I stop by Tart because I notice it by eating at a restaurant near by across the street. I was very impress by their simple décor and the way they decorate their pastries. Every single pastries seems very detail and taste great. I came back a few times and brought many different pastries for different events that I have attend. I even ordered my son’s 6^th Lego Birthday cake there and the detail on that cake amaze everyone who attended his party!!!

I am a dude and I love chocolate. Period.
Tart bakery satisfies my chocolate cravings. I have tried the blood orange tart, the salted chocolate carmel and the chocolate chip cookies.
Tart has very talented bakers who can decorate their cakes and cookies with unbelievable artistry. Look at their pics on facebook. Amazing amazing amazing.
There is a wonderful person there named Michelle. She rocks and she is so sweet. The day I went, She was working with a bride to be making the order for the cakes and other desserts for her wedding. This place is really nice and professional. You will find all you need in a bakery here.
It’s located on a street front strip mall. Limited parking.
Go in, you won’t be disappointed.

I came here b/​c I am on the mission to find out what is the big deal about macarons!
I’ve never really jumped on the whole cupcake bandwagon. I had seen this bakery many times before, but never thought to stop in b/​c I’m not looking at cupcakes or cakes.
But Tart was on a DMN list of places that had macarons so I had to try.
I ordered a sampler pack which included 12 macarons — lemon, orange, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla.
I am not a huge fan of fruit flavored treats… i’m a fruit purist. :) So when I saw the lemon one sitting there, i let my friends try it and let me know how it was. Their faces expressed such awesomeness I had to try for myself. I’ve never had a lemony treat like this! it was so good! The orange was delicious as well. My favorite out of the sampler pack was the chocolate. I’m not a chocolate fanatic either, but omg! this one was my FAVORITE! The cripsy outside, the soft chewy inside w/​all that flavor in the center… mmm. I see what the big deal is about macarons!
While i was waiting for them to get my pre-​ordered sampler pack, i looked in the case and saw a pear almond tart. I had to get it. i couldn’t NOT get it.
The tart’s crust was perfect. it wasn’t dry, it was moist and it was the perfect texture. I am dreaming of it now. I want another one! The almond flavor was subtle, but I could tell it was there. it was perfectly mellow w/​the pears. and the pears were the perfect texture: not mushy and not sicky sweet. just mellow. It was a delicious dessert.
I’ll definitely be returning to tart. :)

wow, third time’s the charm! I’ve been here two other times and both times, they were closed! one was on Sunday and the other was Monday. So I told myself I wasn’t going to come here anymore but something pull me there today.
I got a red velvet cupcake, lemon tart meringue, a pistachio macaroon, and lemon macaroon. I didn’t like the red velvet… the cake was bland but the frosting was super sweet. Lemon tart was good, I love meringue! I don’t think you can do meringue wrong. And the macaroons were okay… I’ve had better! the pistachio was kind of old because the shell was hard crunchy.

Update only for the macarons… brought some to an expert (Amanda S.) and they were definitely not as good as the first visit. There was a strange aftertaste to them: had the raspberry, lemon, chocolate and pistachio. Only the pistachio didn’t have the bad aftertaste. It was almost as if they were old and spoiled tasting, and it seemed confined to the shell of the cookie. They had been assembled by the worker while I was at the bakery so not sure what the problem was.
Anyway, will DEFINITELY be back for the cupcakes regardless. They are delicioso.

It’s as if I’ve taken an acid trip and landed on the scene of the movie «Amelie», inside a vintage candy store in Paris of some sort. There are giant glass jars in different parts of the store filled with jelly beans, jawbreakers, assorted cookies, and whoopie pies. The cold glass case holds fruit tarts, mousses, and shortcakes. Tempting… dangerously tempting. I had to calm myself down before I broke the bank and ordered every tart and cookie in the store. HOLD ON STEF, you came here for the cupcakes!
When I finally pulled myself together, the sweet young lady helped me pick out 4 cupcakes. Strawberry, vanilla, red velvet, and lemon (the special that day). The strawberry is my favorite of the four. The frosting was unexpectedly tart and fresh, smooth and oh so flavorful and the cake was moist with perfect icing to cake ratio. Lemon was delish too and I have to give them bonus points for all the lemon zest they added. That extra OOMPH added a pop of flavor. Red Velvet was OK, this is where they started losing points to Society Bakery. I thought the cake portion was a little crumbly and too rich that it overwhelmed the delicious sweet cream frosting. Vanilla was standard and everything I expected from a vanilla cupcake.
Initially I thought about giving 4.5 stars.
What won me over was the strawberry cupcake. I use to think Sprinkles had the best strawberry and it was the only thing that made me liked Sprinkles anymore. So good-​bye Sprinkles, there is no reason for me to come back to you and your overpriced hit-​or-​miss cupcakes. The strawberry at Tart is perfection to say the least. No wonder they’ve been named Dallas’s best cupcake. $ 2.50 a piece is a reasonable price I think. More reviews to come because I know I’ll be back.
5 stars for amazing cupcakes (- red velvet) + nostalgic vintage atmosphere + friendly service

Their French-​style macaroons are TO DIE FOR. Seriously. I ate some that they had produced in bulk for a wedding, and even in bulk they were amazing. Amazing. I can’t wait to stop in here and try more of their delicious creations!
Favorite macaroon flavors: pistachio and lemon.
I’ll update this review once I try more of their offerings — it may move to five stars!

This review is specifically written in regards to hosting a shower at Tart. Ummm, can we say expensive?! Plenty of people have assured me that spending $ 450 for a baby shower for 27 people is normal, but I am not convinced! (Note: this cost did include invitations, stamps, a $ 10 prize, and some balloons, BUT did not include the cost of the cake!)
You see, the guest of honor’s mom wanted to buy the cake so we let her. Tart was very accommodating about making a cake that we really wanted (a preggo belly), and it was yummy to all those people who love cake, but it cost a whopping $ 125!!! I was hoping some valuable treasure was hidden in that preggo tummy cake! see attached pics if I can figure out how to attach.
Anyhow, the place was decorated very cute, and very appropriate for a shower with lime green walls, and brown paper lanterns, little round tables for three people each, with a large rectangular table in the middle of the room. There was another large rectangular table at the rear which had large glass jars of candy. BUT, the candy was off limits to the party-​goers. Weird if you ask me!
We ordered pitchers of tea, coffee, water, and fresh fruit platter and chicken salad sandwiches– all supposed to be enough for 30 people. The sandwiches were something I’d have expected my brother to make. Mrs. Baird’s white bread cut into tiny triangles, smeared with a tasteless chicken salad. The presentation was so weak, it was embarrassing and the bread was crusty by the time the guests arrived! They didn’t serve the drink pitchers with any ice and we practically had to beg to get them to bring us ice. The girl in charge said she had a last minute unexpected delivery to make right before the party started and left the high school girls working there in charge. Unfortunately they were working the cash register at the front of the store too so we barely had any service.
My friend insists she loved the shower, but she would never say otherwise!!! I would not go back there for a shower. It may have been cute, and the cake great, but not worth the negatives!

I was glad to see that there was a nice bakery closer to where I stay when I am in Dallas. This location is in the Shops at Legacy complex. There is a cute seating area for you to enjoy your sweets if you want to hang out there.
I ordered a good assortment of cupcakes (red velvet, carrot cake, chocolate/​chocolate, and the special of the day — vanilla with lemon custard) and then a vanilla and a chocolate petit four and a half dozen of their double chocolate chip cookies.
The petit fours didn’t make it back to the hotel, I tried those before I left. The cake was super moist and there was just enough icing. The chocolate petit four had chocolate buttercream filling that was so rich it was like fudge.
The cupcakes and cookies were consumed by me and my co-​workers the next day. They are used to me bringing them a bunch of sweets, but they all agreed that these were the best yet. The cake was dense and moist while the frosting was just sweet enough. The cookies were loaded with chocolate chips and very buttery.
Tart will most likely be my bakery of choice when I am in the Dallas area as they are open until 7 Tues-​Th and until 9 on Fr/​Sat. My other favorite bakery in the area (Society on Greenville) closes too early for me to ever get anything on the weekdays.
