    Stop the search you’ve found your dessert vendor!

    We are so happy we choose SSS for our wedding desserts. We didn’t want a traditional wedding cake, and instead wanted to have a dessert table with an assortment of cupcakes, banana pudding, and flan. Deb was super helpful in planning our vision from start to finish to pick the right selection of desserts, flavors, and quantities while respecting our budget. We went to the bakery in LES for a tasting which helped confirm our selections. The vegan options were just as good as the regular flavors. Our wedding was in Brooklyn, and Deb helped secure the delivery details. The desserts were a hit on the day of the wedding, as our guests told us they had 5 servings of dessert because it was too good to stop!

    I love Sugar Sweet Sunshine! While I was in college a friend brought me to the shop and I have loved them ever since.

    For a birthday a few years ago, my dad drove me from a Rangers game at MSG to pick up a cake and cupcakes (we live on Long Island!) for my birthday.

    This May, I had my wedding in Breezy Point, Queens, NY but I was worried they wouldn’t deliver. They would and they could and they did!! It was amazing and we heard so many compliments. I was so happy and I have been eating the mini cupcakes for at least a week now. They are the best cupcakes I have ever had and the staff is so helpful. They were responsive and helpful every time I emailed.

    Peggy was amazing; she went above and beyond to make our wedding day and our dessert/cake be everything I wanted it to be!

    Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery's reply:

    Thanks so much for the nice words! It was so nice to hear the history of how you happened to find us! It was a pleasure working with you on your wedding and I'm so happy the desserts matched your vision and were enjoyed by all! Thanks again Kate!
    best,
    Peggy

    From beginning to end, they were perfect! The cake was on-time and so, so delicious the day of the event (people who don't usually eat wedding cake complimented it). Peggy was so easy to work with and very helpful when I was deciding on texture/flavors. The tasting was so much fun. Peggy even specially frosted a cupcake on the spot that had the flavor combo I was looking at. I looked into about 20 cake places and by far the experience was best here. It was a huge win that the cake was the best tasting too! Lovely vendor, excellent cake, great price as well!

    We had cakes for both our engagement party and our wedding from Sugar Sweet Sunshine. From our initial tasting through to eating our leftover wedding cake on the sofa it was a fantastic experience. Peg is absolutely lovely and she helped us decide what we wanted (pistachio for the engagement party, and pumpkin and vanilla for the wedding), and how best to work within our budget. She was very understanding of how much we had to spend and we ended up with a small tiered cake and additional sheet cakes.

    Most importantly of all the cakes were incredibly delicious, being both moist and light. We got so many compliments about how it was the best wedding cake ever. Thanks so much to Sugar Sweet Sunshine - highly recommended!

    We ordered guest's cupcakes as well as our wedding cake, through Sugar Sweet Sunshine. They were amazing! The entire process was quick and easy. Peg put our order together, and had delivered exactly what we asked for. Their cupcakes are our favorite in the city, and our guests absolutely loved them! Our cake was spectacular. We asked for a naked cake, 2 flavors, and 4 layers. It was delicious of course, and looked just beautiful. Everything was delivered on time. Peg and her team are so wonderful! I definitely recommend Sugar Sweet Sunshine for wedding baked goods-- and for life in general! :)

    This cake was the best cake We've ever had!! So delicious and yummy. The cake was moist and the frosting was sweet and there wasn't to much frosting. It was very reasonably priced in fact the cheapest I could find without going to Costco which is not yummy at all. I loved the cake and the cupcakes and it was perfect! I know who I will be hireing for baby showers birthdays and all of my families special occasions. Sweet Sunshine Bakery You are the best! Thank you, Tim and Kristen Wilson.

    Sugar Sweet Sunshine is my favorite cupcake place in NYC, so it was no surprise when everyone found out that is what they were having in place of traditional wedding cake at my wedding in April!

    Working with sugar sweet sunshine for my wedding cupcakes was a breeze! They recommended we get a small cake to do the formal cutting as it would be easier and boy am I glad that I followed their advice! The cupcakes came out great and were packaged easily to travel to my reception hall. I picked them up myself the day before and they were packaged so well that even next day they were super fresh and tasted like they just came out of the oven. I could not have been more pleased with the whole process. They are extremely gracious and even gave me a few to give to my seamstresses because I was going to pick up my dress after picking up the cupcakes. Perfect experience!

    Awesome cupcakes. So much that I ordered 200 of them for my September 2013 wedding. And many of my guests agreed with me!

    My favorite is the pistachio. I've never come across a pistachio cupcake and I hope I never do again, because SSS executes it perfectly. The other flavors are excellent as well (yellow cake with buttercream frosting, red velvet with chocolate or buttercream frosting, chocolate with peanut butter frosting, chocolate with chocolate frosting, something with strawberry frosting, etc.). The cupcakes aren't huge and don't have that too-perfect commercial look *ahem Crumbs*. They are still very cute and have a great cake-to-icing ratio. Sweet but not toothachingly-so.

    VERY reasonably priced. (SSS, please don't take this as a cue to raise your prices!!) Very cute store - a place where you can just relax with your cupcake and coffee and read the paper.

    For those ordering for weddings/parties: very easy to do so. All you need to do is place the order a few weeks in advance of your event date. If need be, SSS staff will sit down with you to go over flavors, frosting colors, cake wrapper colors, cupcake tree decor, and delivery with you. They have cupcake trees available for purchase or you can purchase your own and have them bring it to the venue (which is what I did). The process was easy and a pleasure.

    My husband and I ordered the dessert for our wedding from Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery. We didn't want to do the traditional cake, cake cutting, etc experience, and just wanted to serve dessert like we would at the end of any formal meal. As my husband does love cake/cup cakes (while I do not), we decided to serve cupcakes. Based on many media/food website reviews and the recommendation of our wedding planner, we decided to order from Sugar Sweet Sunshine, even though we never tasted them in advance. (We live overseas and did not have the chance to test in advance.)

    We were so happy with the end product! We order 4 types of cupcakes - chocolate cake with vanilla icing, yellow cake with chocolate icing, lemon cake with lemon icing and carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Our guests said that they were the best cupcakes they had ever tasted. My husband and I agreed. They were delicious!

    The order was placed via telephone and email by our wedding planner a week or two before the wedding and delivered the day of via courier (small extra charge). The price was fair and equal to other suppliers. They even made two of the cupcakes with special decorations (a minion bride and groom) for myself and my husband. I highly recommend Sugar Sweet Sunshine for any occasion - or even for no occasion at all!

    We ordered three different kinds of cupcakes for our wedding from Sugar Sweet Sunshine. Our venue (Housing Works Bookstore Cafe) regularly works with them. The cupcakes were delicious and a big hit with our guests. We are not big fans of the butter frosting but luckily the bakery makes it extremely easy to customize orders, so were able to get cream cheese frosting for our cupcakes. I highly recommend the pumpkin variety. So good!

    Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery's reply:

    Congratulations! I'm very happy to hear you were pleased with your wedding dessert.
    Cheers,

    Cupcakes are the way to go - we had 5 varieties at our wedding and it was much more fun than a wedding cake. You can't beat the price here, and they are the best cupcakes in NYC.

    We loved working with Peggy at Sugar Sweet Sunshine! It was one of the most fun parts of our entire wedding planning process. We opted for a "dessert buffet" table instead of a traditional wedding cake, and it was a huge hit. Peggy helped us tremendously with deciding on cake flavors and other desserts, quantities, etc. (The tasting portion of things was definitely the best!) She was easy to work with, totally on top of everything, completely organized, and had no trouble keeping track of all of our choices along the way, which changed several times. She even made special provisions for our niece who has a very serious nut allergy. Day-of, the bakery delivered everything to our venue with plenty of time to spare, and the guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. Sugar Sweet Sunshine's cakes/pies/other desserts are simple yet taste incredible! Value-wise, we came in at about half of what a more traditional wedding cake would have cost us. And this was way more fun, anyway! We'll definitely be returning for our future dessert needs :)

    Sugar Sweet Sunshine was the perfect bakery for us. The owners are extremely helpful and responsive. The cake is baked fresh the day of the event and the management personally takes care of your needs. Our cake was the softest and freshest I had ever had. We received all positive feedback from our guests. I will use Sugar Sweet Sunshine for any event in the future. I highly recommend them if you want a personal experience without all the hub bub and waiting that comes with using a rock star bakery. At first I wanted to use Magnolia Bakery because of their name in NYC, but Sugar Sweet Sunshine far surpassed them in service, affordability and quality!

    Sugar Sweet Sunshine did an awesome job at setting up our big mini cupcake tree :) I love their cupcakes - so many delicious flavors and their minis are just the perfect bite! We ordered various flavors (pistachio and red velvet are my faves!) in that cute mini size and the guests LOVED them. Peggy is wonderful and was always responsive throughout the whole process. YUM! I only wish I had time to eat more of them that day...!

    Peggy from Sugar Sweet Sunshine was awesome! She was super flexible and was willing to do whatever we wanted. The cupcakes were amazing and everyone seemed to love them! I only wish we had gotten to taste them! Whoops! Luckily SSS is right down the street from us so we'll have to pop in and pick some up! I would highly recommend their cupcakes for a wedding~ delicious and a big hit!

    My husband and I didn't want to drop a ton of money on a wedding cake, so we decided to look into cupcakes. After tasting more than 5 of the top rated cupcake bakeries in NYC, Sugar Sweet was the clear winner. They were delicious, had many different flavor options, low cost and the guests adored them. We also got a cake topper to go on top of the tier.

    Delicious. Beautiful. Cupcakes. Absolutely a hit and without a doubt, I'd order from them again. The cupcakes were made to our liking, came out beautifully and everyone loved them!

    We got married at the Bronx Zoo, so of course we had to go with animal themed something, but we aren't cake fans... but we LOVE cupcakes. Not only did we get yummy cupcakes, we were able to do multiple flavors and designs. They even did a special big cupcake as our "wedding topper". So perfect and soooo good!

    Thank you thank you!

    Sugar Sweet Sunshine is our favorite bakery in NYC. Before we even found a venue, we knew we would have SSS cater our desserts. Their mini cupcakes were amazing and their pudding to die for, as per usual.

    Sugar Sweet Sunshine's pumpkin cupcakes are my absolute favorite dessert so we had to have them at our wedding. They were absolutely delicious. You can choose to have them decorate a cake stand for you and deliver the cupcakes. That was incredibly expensive, but worth the headache it would have caused. Time is money...so for us it was worth it.

    We had Sugar Sweet Sunshine provide a cupcake tower and cutting cake for our wedding. The cupcakes were delicious and totally affordable - I tested out several other more expensive bakeries, but theirs were definitely the best. They offered lots of different flavor options and worked with us to achieve the visual look we were going for for our day - I was worried that because they were so affordable, they wouldn't take as much care with the appearance of the cupcakes/cake, but that was definitely not the case. I would definitely use SSS again and highly recommend them.

    Their cupcakes may not be the best looking available, but they are by far the best tasting. There was literally a frenzy after our cake-cutting and there were absolutely no leftovers (despite many more cupcakes than guests!).
