This was our first visit and we were very pleased. My chocolate high cupcake was awesome and my Husband's peanut butter chocolate chip cookie was delicious. We bought three to go. We'll definitely be back.
The normally excellent Dreamcakes let us down for Thanksgiving. Our chocolate turkey pound cake was as dry as a rock. I called and told them (I would want the same) because I know they want to maintain the quality name recognition that they have always enjoyed. And they thanked me for letting them know and said they hoped that they would please us in the future. (Note - no mention of comping my expense or a freebie in the future to make up for our disappointment.) However, I'll just stick with the Dreamcakes cupcakes in the future, and go back to my previously used name brand bakery for specialty cakes.
This adorable shop has the best sweets !! The staff there does such a great job, they work so hard!!! I
Love seeing the truck around town!! Their creations are almost too pretty to eat~almost! Yummy!!
I love the Wedding Cake cupcake and the Strawberry Cheesecake Pound Cake!
Dreamcakes and Jan were wonderful to work with for our wedding cake. The entire process was super easy to plan, the cake tasting was great, and the final product that they delivered was exactly what we wanted. Definitely recommend them as a possibility for your wedding cake.
Loved the lemon and butter with chocolate icing cake
The have vegan cupcakes that are amazing!! Plus they are incredibly nice and helpful.
People who gave bad reviews of this place are crazy. Almost everything is awesome in this store and I continuously return for any sweat treat.
Nice people, good customer service. Bought some vegan cupcakes, but they were really not reflective of their prices. Would rather have spent the time to make my own...
The service at the Homewood location left a lot to be desired. We had a young lady waiting on us who was impatient and somewhat rude. I can t remember when I experienced worse customer service. So, I think I ll get my cupcakes elsewhere from now on.
A bit expensive but they are really good. Their cupcakes are $3 each and I am comparing them to Gigi's Cupcakes which are also $3 each. I do believe dreamcakes taste better but their cupcakes are smaller than Gigi's Cupcakes so I guess you get more for the price at their competitor but honestly Dreamcakes are sooo good. The Strawberry Kiss is my favorite
Dreamcakes cupcakes were a hit at my son's graduation luncheon....
I have been here several times, and my husband always drops cupcakes off to me. I wish I could add photos, but by the time he gets them to me, they are not as beautiful as when purchased. Their cupcakes are unique and gorgeous. Just check out their website for all the flavors . My favorites are Over The Moon, Wedding Cake, Curious George, and The Duchess. Their carrot cake is amazing as well. I'd love to try some of their floral flavors. The place is cute, and always super clean. I'm going to start taking pictures to add to my review. I had a mermaid cupcake this evening (not sure of the name) and it had beautiful candy beads, pearls, edible stars, and a candy shell. The icing was purple and pink. This bakery is true to its name.
We drove outside of Birmingham to come here just based on the instagram photos. Our cupcakes were incredible, even the next day. Our favorite was by far the Strawberry. Incredible!
Awesome cupcake shop! My fave is the " Over the Moon"! They had a speciality for a short time in my favorite soda "Grapico"! Overall the best cupcakes. I try a new one everytime I go :)
They have the very best cupcakes. There were so many choices that I had to get all the mini cupcakes to try each flavor! This is a place that you definitely will love if you have a sweet tooth. It is heaven.
I went to a wedding this past Sunday, and Dreamcakes made the cake. Holy moly, it was AMAZING!! The frosting was so rich, it almost tasted like ice cream. The cake was beautifully decorated too. I recommend Dreamcakes for your special events!!
Best cupcakes in Birmingham! Interesting, exotic flavors- I try to get a new one every time.
Fairy cakes! The sugary goodness takes you back to your childhood. The kids love them. So many flavors and choices.
It is so hard to give my favorite cupcake place only 1 star. We love Dreamcakes. The cupcakes and oatmeal cream pies are to die for and we always enjoy stopping by, but Dreamcakes was a huge disappointment on our wedding day. We showed them a photo of the exact cake we wanted, which they had made for a previous bride. We did want a smaller cake (just like the photo) because we were doing a dessert table, but the tiny (and leaning) little cake they showed up with looked pathetic (and it was $85). They kept referring to the invoice that had the measurements of the cake being fairly small, smaller than I thought, but since right underneath that they wrote "SEE PHOTO" I trusted that they would get it right. They also make the over the moon cupcakes white for weddings which wasn't what we wanted and not something we were told. When I expressed both concerns at the wedding, I was very rudely told that this was the cake we ordered and we didn't tell anyone we wanted the cupcakes to be blue (the only way they ever were in the store). I've never heard of a vendor being rude to the bride on her wedding day, but Dreamcakes absolutely was. If you want a nice little treat, this is your place. Just don't trust them with a big event, especially your wedding day.
Ordered cake a month in advance, cake was beautiful, cake came in box shown in pic , wooden sticks with duck tape holding thin box together. Day of pickup it was raining , cake got wet do to thin plastic, wrapped over cake. Arrived at restaurant embarrassed walking though to be seated with a duck taped box. By the time cake made it to the table it had fell apart. Spoke with Mr. Moon, owner he came up with every excuse in the world, he stated cake boxes are expensive, then stated they ran out but next time he will find a way to include cake box in price. Mr. Moon snuck on my Facebook , he stated the cake looked fine at the restaurant sitting on the table but the spy on my Facebook page didn t know I took the picture from home the minute I picked up the cake. No way a owner should go back and forth with a customer, claim your fault and keep it moving, at the end Mr. Moon offered a 50.00 gift card, no thanks use it towards cake boxes and professional skills. If you choose to
respond in a negative manner I will post your smart email I received from you. Have a nice day
Wonderful cupcakes! Large and always perfect no matter what flavor you choose. My favorite is the caramel. Yummy!
Dreamcakes created two delicious and beautifully detailed decorated cakes to my special event party. Ben was extremely helpful and incorporated last minute changes. The cakes were moist, delicious and beautiful! What more can I say, except I want more, more, more!
Best dessert place in town. Best cupcakes, best cakes, and the best kept secrets: poundcakes and oatmeal creme pies.
Their wedding cakes are beautiful and definitely taste better than any cake I've EVER had at a wedding.
My experience with dream cakes was so easy and wonderful. I m gluten free and they made the most delicious and moist wedding cake. My husband got a Game of Thrones groom s cake which was so unique with great detail. The staff was very sweet and easy to work with. We were overwhelmed with compliments about how tasty and beautiful our cakes were at the wedding.
First time visiting, no parking, too expensive and was not the best I have had. 1st and last time.
Awesome original/locally owned cupcakes, love the owners. Must-have if you're in Homewood or see the food truck nearby.
As always Dream Cales and Staff saved the day! I totally forgot to order cupcakes and they pulled it together in an hours notice.
Great staff and cupcakes! They were very patient and helpful!
I went by today to satisfy my sweet tooth but was not at all satisfied. I ordered one red velvet cupcake which turned out to be dry and TOO sweet. Now- we all know red velvet is sweet but not as sweet as a strawberry cupcake in which this reminded me of. In addition to that, the cupcake had multi colored glass theme sprinkles which didn't go with the taste of the cupcake- and added MORE sweetness. Not satisfied with this choice, I may go back and try another flavor. I won't be in a hurry though.
Purchased a chocolate groom s cake here for my wedding. It was so delicious and they did an amazing job decorating it. Highly recommend!
Cakes are my favorite. Drove about 10 miles out of my way in the rain with my 2 year old because I had promised her cupcakes the day before. (Should've checked the weather first ) Got there as they were closing up for the day. The girl at the counter barely looked up as I stood at the door trying to check out the business hours after I noticed the door was locked. Customer service means a lot to me. Would've been nice to have at least been acknowledged. Google asked for a review, so that's my review.
The best cakes in Birmingham hands down. I showed them a custom chocolate cake and they "nailed it". It was a hit and I've been getting it twice a year now for birthdays. Just picked up cupcakes today. This place is a true gem and a must try. Believe it, the hype is real!
As a Baker myself I'm very critical when it comes to cakes, and Dreamcakes is Awesome! Today was the first time I've ever had anything from them and so far everything I've eaten has been incredible. So far my absolute favorite is the wedding cake cupcakes. Will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Birmingham.
Never had a bad thing from this place and we are there pretty frequently. We try and try something new every once and a while, but my favorite is the peanut butter cup. So good. I've never had a dry cupcake there... that is unless I've purchased too many and let them sit out for a day or so, then they get dry, but if you buy and eat or buy and put in the fridge as directed....mmm, good. Truly a gem. Glad to have them among our wonderful shops in Homewood!
So I went there today, they had a sign posted buy 1 cupcake get 1 free. Though that's clearly not the case. False advertisement,the sign should read 1 free cupcake with purchase. Because that is what you all honored today..
Great customer service, exactly what I dreamt of for my boys first birthday cake, delicious!
Very cute and cozy place, nice atmosphere, very friendly. Delicious cupcakes, macarons, cakes, little bit expensive but it's worth it.
When I wanted to send something special to my birthday girl in her new town, I found "Dreamcakes." I called them, explained the situation & they prescribed a box of tasty treats, boxed delightfully & delivered at the best possible time. Thanks, Dreambakers!
I go here at least twice a month. This is a little gem in Homewood.
Best Cupcakes in Birningham...The Wedding Cupcake is our favorite .My wife sends me Once a week to get here her a wedding Cupcake....My Golf ,Auburn,Cowboys Grooms cake was done by Dreamcakes, Nothing but grand reviews from our Guest on the decor and taste of the cake...Will have your cakes for future events to come...
Dreamcakes did an amazing job creating the perfect cake for my baby's first birthday. I highly recommend them for your custom cake needs.
Two words... THE BEST! Dreamcakes, indeed, has the dreamiest cakes and cupcakes known to mankind. The caramel sea salt mocha cake is divine! For family and friends' birthdays or even work events, I recommend getting an assortment of cupcakes. I did this for my husband's birthday, and so, my family all ended up sharing little bites of each cupcake. So good!!
Bad customer service. I greeted the cashier twice and if they spoke y'all did too. I politely left and let them both know they were rude... This was Saturday 9/7
Not the best nor the worse cupcakes. About the same as Winndixie ones Wish they d had vanilla macarons it was the only reason I went. ;(
The box for transporting mini-cupcakes was adorable hot pink, and had built in holders, but was not at all reliable. I tried to be very careful with my 2 boxes of mini-cupcakes but they are so top-heavy, over half of them tipped over on my short trip home, and I had to fix the icing on them. I ordered the maple bacon mini-cupcakes for a brunch (such a cute idea for a cupcake!!) and the cupcakes themselves tasted fine, as did the icing, but the bacon slices in them tasted like cardboard. They LOOKED great, but had zero bacon flavor. Additionally, I think it is tacky to request a tip which is how I perceive the "Choose an option" choice given at the cash register, whereby the only thing you are "choosing" is your tip amount, or "no gratuity." Making the customer do this is not good customer service, although I am sure it works for you as some probably tip just to avoid embarrassment. I am normally a very generous tipper, but in this case, there was no service offered me, as I ordered them online myself, and I showed up to pick them up and pay for them. The mini-cupcakes themselves were approximately $1.50 each, so I think that is plenty of padding, without requesting a tip on top of that. For my money, Publix makes a much tastier petit four, which I will go back to, for brunch and shower treats. All of your cupcakes are adorable, very well named and decorated, but only 2 stars, because they are not a good value, taste- wise are nothing extraordinary, and I didn't like the tip request.
I ordered my birthday cake from here, it was a hummingbird cake and it was absolutely delicious, the absolute best cake I've had in a while. Thank you ladies for a job well done!!!! I will be back for my nephew's birthday cake in December.
Macarons from heaven. Everything else seems like it's just standard baked goods. Certainly good stuff.
The staff is sooo sweet! Just like the cakes! Delicious!
Dreamcakes is wonderful! It's nice to see that they are now offering products in local grocery stores as well.
Beyond disappointed by the cake I purchased. I paid 75 dollars for a 6 inch cake that really isn't all that special. For that much money I expected a much nicer cake. There are individuals and other bakerys that charge way less and do a much better job. Will NEVER go back
I ordered a cake for my mother's 80th borthday party and it was delicious! It was decorated beautifully and made with fresh ingredients! I will definitely recommend this bakery if you want a great tasting beautiful cake!
Beautifully decorated. Tastes no better than a Walmart cupcake. Semi dry and tasteless.
Their homemade oatmeal cream pies are outstanding! Like nothing you ve ever had before. My mouth is watering while I type this review. Dreamcakes is a must whenever you are near Birmingham. Your sweet tooth will thank you for stopping by!
Dangerously Delicious!!! Great customer service, a little pricey. But, once you take a bite you won't care.
I'm not sure I know how to express how much I love this place. Ever present is an issue with tastes so decadent, you should not have them everyday. I do not have that problem, per se, but the taste of every item on display should probably warn of the hazards of addiction. The staff is great and the location is as good as you can get. Final warning: don't come here with an empty stomach, but make sure to save room when you eat at a surrounding restaurant.

Nice little bakery with many options available. Vegan and gluten free cakes available. A sweet freaks paradise.
The cupcakes are to die for! I recently special orederd a birthday cake, and it was amazingly good!!!!!!!
This place is the best kind of evil! So many wonderful treats, though the cupcakes are the obvious draw.
I absolutely love this place. It's the ONLY dessert that I will actually threaten bodily harm against my children and my wife with a divorce if they dare to eat my share. I am NOT a desert person, by any means, but when it comes to any cake from this bakery I become a different person! Friendly staff, great location, and beautifully made cakes to add more junk to my, already big-junk, trunk. What more can a boy ask for?
Extremely disappointed. I feel like I got scammed :( I asked for a dozen vegan cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I PAID $50 FOR THESE. They literally looked like a child made them. Itd be different if a relative made these and poured love into them but this is just unprofessional for $50. I had to wipe the frosting off and re do them myself. I could have made these at home and they would have looked 1000x better. I'm so sad because I was excited to have vegan options here and wanted to support a local business... They tasted good but, next time I will go somewhere the quality is better and the prices are cheaper. I was considering ordering my wedding cake here but absolutely not anymore. :( I rarely give bad reviews but this was just not worth $50.
Cupcakes were pretty good- I have had better but I was excited to try the place because of the reviews. I went late afternoon on 1/25 so the selection was limited. The shop was crowded, but the cashier was obviously not interested in waiting on us. I wanted to purchase more but she gestured like what's the hold up when I wanted to look at the brownies, so I just left with cupcakes. The chubbier lady working had a terrible attitude. Definitely won't be back because of her.
I unapologetically go to Dreamcakes for a sugar cookie 1-3 times a week! I love them!
Thanks for great customer service!! Not only was my daughters bday cake(vegan strawberry)Beautiful, it was delicious!!
Dreamcakes are an okay bakery. I mean just ok. The cakes are not better than Edgar's, Definitely not better than KandJ in Alabaster, or Publix. I get cake and cupcakes for the office monthly
The workers at Dreamcake personality overall are disingenuous and not welcoming at all. Then the cakes are more expensive and smaller than everyone else cake. I think their cakes are maybe 4- 6inch cake. Where the standard round cake is 8-9 inches. I wouldn't care about the the size but they are almost $10 more than like an Edgar's. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place unless this is your only option.
This was not my first time getting a cake from them but it is the first time that I have been very, very disappointed in the product and service. I ask for a white/white Birthday Cake and they could decorate it with cute lettering and something pretty for older person
The cake was white with pink icing and ugly blue lettering and confetti.
I left heart broken and I didn't feel like the representative cared that the $40 cake was not pleasing to me
Hands down, better than Edgar's! The best almond wedding cake icing I've ever had!
Literally so good!!! The treats are so fresh and homemade and seriously AMAZING... also VERY well priced. Not over priced like most places. I love this place so much. Will be returning and telling everyone how wonderful it is!!!! MUST GO!
The cupcakes were decorated pretty but the taste was awful..red velvet, turtle and strawberry ...a waste of money
This place was so cute and smelled like heaven. The staff were quick and efficient and handled my walk-in order without hassle or complaint.
Their icing is great but they use box mix to make their cakes, while acting like it's made from scratch and pricing it like it's made from scratch. I wouldn't care that it's a box mix if they priced their stuff a little better because it doesn't taste bad or anything. But I can make an entire batch of cupcakes at home for the same price as two of their cupcakes and they'd basically taste the same.
Service was attentive and quick. Every cake looks promising! Must try.
not accommodating when placing a large order including a vegan cupcake (which they make daily and advertise on their website) manger was very rude on the phone. do not recommend this bakery.
Cupcakes are great, but the oatmeal cream pies are awesome.
$4 for a boxed cupcake.... I can deal without that in my life.
