I was a little concerned about trying this, because I loves me some cuppies. I’d injured a disc in my back and had to get two shots in the hind end, so to cheer me up, the Hubbyman drove by Jen’s for a little tasting surprise. Having never been before, I was immediately surprised to find they had a drive thru! Good to know, for when I need sweets on the go. I couldn’t decide between the Coconut, Praline, and Snow White(apple with streusel crumb topping and a cream cheese frosting with a fondant apple) so since I was sporting three boo-boo areas, the Hubbyman splurged. The coconut cake was divine. Honestly, it’s hard to find a better moist cupcake than this. I didn’t even need all the frosting, which for me was a tad bit heavy(which is why I took off one star). I prefer my buttercreams to be light and fluffy. This was more like pasty. I can see why someone called it too sweet, although for me the sweetness wasn’t the issue-it’s a texture thing. Praline was pretty good-also moist and tasty. Butter Pecan cake and caramel frosting. The frosting didn’t taste much different from that on the coconut though(except for the coconut). Leads me to believe they mix up one giant batch and then flavor it accordingly. Not a great practice, but understandable. The only bummer cupcake for me was the one I MOST wanted to try – the Snow White. In their defense, I waited a day before I ate it(Can you say Sugar Overload?) so maybe that was the issue. The cake was definitely more dry, especially around the edges. The frosting, while sweet, had very little taste. Probably would try it one more time just to be sure. Overall a decent bakery(and I’m picky!) but a tad hit or miss on some elements. As for service, the younger staff was stiff at first, but we joked with her and she loosened up. We left laughing. I’d definitely give it a solid 3.5 stars. Pretty good.

Can’t beat the slices of cake or buying an entire cake. The orange cream cake is the best IMO but my wife like and kids love the chocolate cake. Either way you can’t go wrong.

I love baked good and was really excited about my little treat, however, it was disappointing. This maybe hard but I am comparing them to another bakery up the street that I stumbled upon called Splat(maybe or something similar to that I reviewed them as well) which is now my expected standard for buying a cupcake for $ 2.50. The cupcake itself was hard around the edges & not moist at all in the center. Which is what I was expecting b/c sometimes the edges get a little hard there is no stopping it. However, this entire cupcake was just a dense dry tasteless mass of ingredients dressed up like pretty cupcake. The icing(I got an Andes mint) was also hard, compact, and just bleh for a lack of words. What my cupcake lacked in texture it also lacked in flavor. There was no real mint chocolate flavor in the cupcake itself and the mint flavor in the icing tasted like the imitation oil found at a Walmart. I also got a cookie for my son and it was nothing to write home about. It was large and hard. So all in all if you like baked goods that taste like they were made by a novice baker in a home kitchen three days ago… This is your place! Not sure how they stay in business but the owner should really think about focusing on the quality of product she is putting out. This place is not sugarlicious its more like crapalicious.

The baked goods are great. Just some advice, if you charge a premium price for your products you should demand better customer service of your staff. A thank you never hurt anyone. Awesome cakes attitudes though leave much to be desired.

I had been wanting to try Jenn’s for quite sometime, but they fell drastically short of my expectations. The service aspect was definitely lacking and the food was even worse. Working in the food industry for years, specifically with sweet baked goods, I appreciate a good cupcake. Unfortunately, it was very apparent the ingredients used were sub-par at best. From lack of moisture in the cupcakes, to the very apparent use of cheap extract that barely made the lemon cupcake taste like lemon at all, to the gross misuse of food coloring– vanilla cupcake with neon green icing is not only unnecessary, but so much coloring was used it tasted awful. I will most certainly never go back to Jenn’s. Several bakeries in the area, most specifically in neighboring downtown Belmont are on par with price and far exceed the quality of ingredients, experience and talent of Jenn’s. I assume Jenn’s jumped on the cupcake craze bandwagon in the past 5 or so years simply because they could, but hopefully will be weeded out with other also-runs and true bakers will prevail.

I tried their cherry lemon Sundrop cupcake and I didn’t really like it but I absolutely loved their strawberry cupcake, that was the absolute best and I cannot wait to get it again.

Their cake is hard to beat– my favorite is the almond cake with chocolate ganache filling and vanilla frosting. Cupcakes are a little too sweet. rest of the dessert looks good, although I wish the glass container that held everything was closed because I’ve seen flies… the place smells like sugar when you walk in. Definitely order your cakes from here!

I recently ordered a cake from Jenn’s Sugarlicious Bakery and overall, it was a pretty good experience. I appreciated that the bakery’s website listed all of their flavors, cake sizes, and pricing options so when I went to order my cake I knew what I wanted. I was slightly disappointed when the young lady taking my order informed me that if you want any fondant or gum paste pieces on your cake, you have to place your order at least 2 weeks in advance. I just wanted one flower on the cake… I think they could have bent the rules for me, but no meant no. The cake itself was decorated exactly how I had asked. The overall taste was good, but it had about an inch too much icing. I also thought that there wasn’t enough raspberry filling between the cake layers. I will definitely give Jenn’s another shot and next time I’ll be more specific about what I want!

I’ve had several cupcakes from here, and while they’re good, I guess they just aren’t right up my alley. I suppose I should know that when you’re name contains, «Sugar» in it, then you’ve been warned, but they really throw the sugar in there with gusto! I prefer a little less icing, and they just put more on than I like. Also, the Oreo cupcake that I had was a bit dry, and that’s one of my top priorities. If they could bottle up and sell the smell of this place though, I would buy that in a heart beat! I’ll be back again, but I’ll just have to scrape some of the icing off…

I haven’t had anything from this bakery that wasn’t good. Got a cake from here for my 34th birthday and it was delicious and so fresh. You won’t go wrong going here!

Love Jenn’s! Everything I’ve had there is delicious. We totally jones for the cupcakes. The cake is always moist and they have a huge variety — coconut cake, carrot cake and chocolate are my favorite. They are even doing our wedding cake! Definitely recommend.

I barely write here but I felt the need to because it’s SOGOOD. The best cupcakes I’ve ever had in my life. No crisco here, all real ingredientes. Spongy cupcakes and soft frosting. The pecan bar was amazing. Tried the chocolate moca and pineapple cupcakes and they were perfect. They have a nice child area with pretty toys. I’ll be coming back.

I haven’t tried much here because I always go with the pecan bars because they are just THAT good that it’s hard for me to break away. Had a decadent brownie once with all kinds of chocolaty goodness in it(it had like 5 or so different chocolate elements in it). The prices are pretty good and they usually have a deal going to where if you buy 2 cupcakes you get a cake pop for free. The environment is small but very cute and cozy. Last time I was there they had just gotten free wi-fi set up.

I’ve only had the six layered pineapple cake, the island cookies and the lemon bar. All were delicious! Great Place.
