Sweet Retreat Cupcake Boutique

Sweet Retreat was my favorite cupcake shop before I got married and it's my favorite hands down after my wedding! Mariah and the staff at Sweet Retreat so helpful and exceeded my expectations for what we wanted. We knew we wanted cupcakes and a small cake for us. The flavors we picked were a hit with everyone and they were all gone the next day! The cake is to die for that my hubby and I decided we weren't waiting a year to eat, so we cut slices of it so we can enjoy it every month after out wedding! We also plan on going back every month once the cake slices are gone :)

Sweet Retreat was everything we hoped for and more! When looking for a wedding cake we wanted nontraditional (no flowers, red and black) and we had a very hard time finding a place that understood our wants and needs. till we came here, everyone was wonderful to work with and they brought our thoughts and ideas to life in the most beautiful way! we couldn't have been happier with how our wedding cake turned out and the taste was out of this world, by far the best tasting cake I've ever had! all of our guest loved it too! i highly recommend working with them. I know ill be coming back in the future for any of my cake needs

Was very happy with the cake that Sweet Retreat designed for me for my mom's retirement! The raspberry chocolate interior was moist and delicious and everyone loved it. Would definitely utilize them again for my fancy cake needs!

Best cupcakes in the Twin Cities. Have had many other spots but the buttery, rich cupcakes here top them all. A variety of them ready to go and some special ones that come around for holidays (like Mother’s Day in the picture.)

We had Sweet Retreat make cupcakes and a small cutting cake for our wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough! They were very easy to work with, and everyone raved about the cupcakes we had (peanut butter cup, cookies-n-cream, and strawberry balsamic). We heard from numerous guests that they were the best cupcakes they ever had!

We are first time customers and will be coming back as repeat customers and will be referring friends and family here as well. Our daughter was having a birthday party and we ordered cupcakes from Sweet Retreat. When my wife went to pick up our order, it had been mistakenly given to another customer with a similar order. The owner (Stephanie) took matters in to her own hands and went and picked up our cupcakes from the other customers house and delivered them to our house. They had also gotten the order slightly wrong, so Stephanie felt so bad and as the owner knew what to do to make her customers happy. She went so above and beyond to make us (and more importantly our daughter) happy that I will never go to any other cupcake shop in the twin cities. Thank you again Stephanie and the rest of the staff at Sweet Retreat for making our daughters birthday a happy one!

We LOVED the cupcakes. After searching relentlessly for the right wedding cupcakes, we made an impromptu visit to Sweet Retreat. It was getting close to the wedding and we hadn't made appointment; just planning on buying a couple to taste. Instead, they gave us a tasting on the spot and they were MAGNIFICENT!! Best cupcakes I have ever had. (Especially loved the Strawberry Balsamic, but they were all so wonderful.) They were a total hit at the wedding. Very impressed and many thanks to the wonderful job done. :)

We got our wedding cupcakes here and couldn't be happier. The cake tasting was a delightful and tasty experience. We ended up ordering over 300 cupcakes with 3 flavors. We had a vegan choice, a gluten free choice, and a regular. All were delicious and our guests were very happy. Very professional and we highly recommend them.

Sweet Retreat was the perfect choice for our wedding cake! They gave us numerous cupcakes and slices of cake for our tasting (we chose salted caramel and snickerdoodle, though all the flavors were delicious). They also perfectly translated our vision for the cake decorations to the cake the day of our wedding!

I ordered a custom cake for my sons birthday and I must say we were not let down! Amazing, amazing cake! The look and the taste was one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. I think it was better than my wedding cake! :-) Highly recommended. I will come here from now on for all of my cakes! Thanks again.

Deserts are always an important part of any event, especially a wedding, and The Sweet Retreat exceeded our expectations! Working with Mariah to select the best option of cupcakes for our guests was fun and easy. She was willing to work with the vision that my wife and I had for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with how things turned out. On the day of, everything was ready on time for pick up and easy to transport to the venue. Would highly recommend choosing The Sweet Retreat for any occasion.

Ordered 12 cake balls from Akron Ohio to be delivered to my daughter for her birthday in Minneapolis. They were on time and she said they were delicious!!
Thank you Sweet Retreat! Will definitely order again when I can't be in town to bake for them myself!!

This shop is amazing! We bought a variety of flavors. Cakes is moist and tasty. Classic and unique flavors. I had a coconut one that was amazing. Red Velvet was wonderful too. Highly recommend.

Ordered my daughters 2nd birthday cake and let me tell you it was worth every penny!! The cake was exactly what we asked for and my daughter was so happy when she saw it! Everyone at her party loved it and they were all impressed at the detail! Thank you so much for making the perfect cake and so last minute!!

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. We tried this place and another bakery before selecting this as our wedding cake vendor. We were so impressed by the quality and taste of the cupcakes that we decided to go with Sweet Retreat. I am so happy we did. The staff are fever friendly and the cupcakes are amazing!

They made a beautiful three tiered cake for my daughters party. It was soooooo tasty. Everyone at the party commented on how lovely it looked and how amazing it tasted. The staff was very helpful and they had an iPad full of previous cake pictures to spark design ideas. I can’t wait to go back for my next special event.

Today I picked up the CUTEST cupcakes for my granddaughter's birthday and I skipped out of Sweet Retreat and....BAM! I dropped one of the trays and it flopped upside down...I almost fell on the ground bawling.

I crawled back to the store and they dropped everything and put together new cupcakes for me. I cannot express how grateful I am to them.

Not only do they have fabulous customer service - every time I order something for a special occasion I am thrilled. They turn baking into an art.

Sweet Retreat might be a bit more expensive - but I am always 10 times happier than I would have been if I paid less with anyone else.

Make Sweet Retreat your go-to bakery!

Thank you for the great cake to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday! It was just a simple cake with butter cream frosting, but was absolutely excellent, moist, professionally decorated and couldn't have been better. We loved it! I will definitely recommend you to friends and family and will be sure to use you again in the future! Thank you so very much!

Thank you so much for making our AMAZING groom's cake for our wedding a couple weeks ago. Our MN Twins hat cake not only looked incredible, but tasted DELICIOUS! My groom, and everyone else for that matter, LOVED it!! Also, interestingly enough, the cake became famous!--we brought it to the Twins game the day after the wedding, and it ended up on the Jumbotron with us! Thank you again for the wonderful cake and making our wedding weekend that much more special!!

LOVE the gluten free cupcakes, You'd never know they were gluten free. It's so nice to be able to indulge in such a divine treat after having to cut gluten out of my life. No other dessert compares to this yummy goodness!
