This is an update:
Visited Sweet Extravagance last Tuesday for the first time and got 1 Green Goddess (pistachio) flavored cupcake and 1 Coconut Craze (Italian creme) flavored. The Green Goddess was hitting all the right notes!
I went back yesterday, just one day shy of a week from my last visit because I just had to try more flavors! This time I purchased 1 Poppin Cherry (cherry almond) and 1 Hummingbird (banana bread). DANG! The frosting on the Hummingbird cupcake was delicioso!! The cake part itself was good but the frosting was the song my taste buds needed to hear!
The owner took my order on my first visit as well as this second time around. She's very friendly and offered to share with me why they keep the cupcakes refrigerated and about the Loyalty Program.
Since the strawberry compote and buttercream is homemade it has to be kept refrigerated. That's why she's the baker and well... I'm not (lol)
About the Loyalty Program- for every dollar spent, it's 1 point earned. After you get a total of 50 points/$50 (cake cups, whole cakes and cupcake purchases) you get a free dessert!

Read moreMs. Clara made us a truly amazing three tiered cake for our wedding in the Houston Museum of Natural Science. We had cocktail hour and pictures in the butterfly greenhouse, and she made us a beautiful tropical butterfly cake. She made three different flavor cakes, one in each tier! Chocolate with raspberry compote (delicious!), honey vanilla and peach cobbler (my husband's favorite!), and butter pecan with toasted pecan filling (the favorite flavor of the night by overwhelming majority). We got many compliments on our cake, including many guests saying that they had never had such delicious cake, let alone a delicious wedding cake. We are a year out from our wedding and people STILL bring up our wedding cake to us! We just bought butter pecan cupcakes for our first year anniversary, and it was just as we remembered it. We will be getting them every year, as long as Ms. Clara makes them! She was so attentive to all of our requests leading up to our wedding and she is a consummate professional. We vetted multiple event bakeries all over Houston for our wedding, and Sweet Extravagance was the clear winner. If you give Ms. Clara your business, you won't be...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of ordering a birthday cake for my husband from this wonderful place and it was nothing short of exceptional! The cake was not only a visual masterpiece with its stunning and intricate decoration, but it also tasted absolutely divine.
They truly went above and beyond to bring my vision to life, incorporating every detail I requested and adding their creative flair to make it even better than I imagined. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the cake was moist, fresh, and utterly delicious.
The service was equally impressive. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their craft. They made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, from placing the order to the final pick-up.
If you’re looking for a bakery that combines artistic talent with incredible flavors, Sweet Extravagance is the place to go. I can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be returning for future celebrations.
Thank you for making my special day even...
