“My husband and I used Bartleby's for our wedding, and they were fantastic! W had tried their cakes prior to our wedding and loved them, so we knew we had to lock them in for desserts at our reception. We're both vegan, and were thrilled to find a vendor who made quality vegan desserts with a plethora of tasty options, with countless ways to mix and match flavors. Plus, how fun is ice cream cake?! Our guests loved it (it was entirely gone by the end of the evening!) and they also enjoyed the bonus ice cream sandwiches we also ordered from Bartleby's. The entire ordering process was super easy as well, from tasting all the way up until finalizing delivery.”

Welcome to Molly's Cupcakes! Ms. Molly was my third-grade teacher. Whenever my classmates or I had a birthday, she would bake us cupcakes. She had her special recipe for chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. In honor of Molly and as a way to help our kids and community, a portion of our profits is donated directly to schools in our community. Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

“We had a simple vision in mind for our wedding cake. We wanted a small, two-tier cake that we loved the taste of and was mainly for cutting and to share with immediate family. Molly’s Cupcakes was the best option we found and could not have been happier with the decision to work with them for our wedding. We communicated with Yaritza over email and then had our in-person tasting with her as well. It was such an easy, fun, and stress free experience! Yaritza made the booking and payment process so streamlined. Our venue required delivery, which seemed to go without a hiccup! We really enjoyed the cake, and our only complaint is that we didn’t get to enjoy more of it since we were caught on the dance floor! Thanks so much for being a part of our day!”
