Blackbird Sweets — Restaurant in Buffalo

We only tried three things from this bakery. A cinnamon crumb cake, a buttercream sugar cookie bar, and a caramel buttercream cupcake. My friend said the cinnamon crumb cake was good. I hate to leave a bad review but hopefully the owner can fix this issue and take some constructive criticism because nobody likes feeling like they threw their money away. First I'll cover the texture, the texture of the cupcake was great- soft and moist, the texture of the sugar cookie bar was a bit dry. However the flavor of both of these items was ruined by either being refrigerated uncovered at some point or some ingredient that was used in the frosting of both of these items was kept in a refrigerator that needs a thorough deep cleaning, because the frosting on both of them had absorbed the flavors of the refrigerator and it ruined them both. (Perhaps the butter that was used was kept in a freezer? I'm not sure but it definitely had a taste that was not good or fresh.) The owner was friendly and helpful, they did have other goods such as dried pasta Etc. but if you have sensitive taste buds I would not recommend anything that has been refrigerated until the issue is resolved.

response to owner- im sorry to leave a negative review but its not my concern to write kind reviews- i write honest reviews. the 2 items i had did not taste fresh at all. im quite sure the butter that was used was in a refrigerator or freezer that needs a deep cleaning. my sense of taste is extremely acute. i reviewed 2 other bakeries the same day and i didnt have that issue with any of their items. i can certainly stop in for a refund and to try another cupcake, and if that musty taste is gone i will update my review to...

I worked with Andrea for my wedding! I was little out there in concept but she worked with me seamlessly! What I wanted was for five individual cakes all of different flavors and different icing styles to fill out my dessert bar! They went so above and beyond with this people are still talking about the cakes from my wedding and this was June of 2017! We met with her and went over the flavors and tasted everything, her prices were beyond reasonable and her and her staff went above and beyond! She even went so far as to test our cake that we were going to use for our cake cutting because it was something she hadn’t done before and when it didn’t turn out exactly like my vision, she worked with me to find an even better decision! If you want someone that cares about you and your day, use Blackbird Sweets for your wedding,...

I never realized that this bakery is literally/kindaish next door to kostas. I’ve passed by multiple times and never thought this was here. Either way, I went in after I saw a hate post and wanted to give my support. I got myself a slice of PRIDE cake and cookie. The cake was moist and delicious. It’s a bit too sweet for me; I would skip the frosting that’s on top and in between the cake layers. I warmed up the cookie & enjoyed it. They were individually packaged. Not sure if they were baked the same day or not. There wasn’t much of a huge selection maybe bc it was the weekend? Next time I’ll try some cupcakes. A bit pricey but these days...
