Brown's Sweet Treats — Local services in Kinston

I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone! I needed a cake and some cupcakes made for my daughter’s baby shower. When I initially spoke to the lady to see if they were able to make the kind of cake I wanted and get some prices, she was very short and not professional at all. After that initial conversation I ended up going into the shop the following day because she never asked what kind of flavors I wanted or any of my preferences on the details. After making those decisions there with them I left and had no more contact until the day of pick up.

I am posting the picture so that the staff can see the cake I am referring to so to refresh your memory as to who the baker was for this awful thing. Beautiful to look at. But not fit for consumption. It was extremely heavy. Could have spent less than $50 and get a better cake at Wal-Mart. Cake was less than $50. The order was around that price because we also got six dry cupcakes. Do better for the next person cuz I...

When we stopped by this store with a special request, we were met with a smile and a quick response "yes, we can do that. My husband who is diabetic wanted a bannana and coconut cake. He wanted something he could enjoy without risking his glucose levels. When my husband sat down and tasted the cake, his eyes lot up. It was just as he had ordered and was delicious. Needless to say, we will be placing more orders...
