Sweet Masterpieces — Restaurant in Oregon City

Sweet Masterpiece neither sweet nor a masterpiece!

I ordered a gluten free dairy free cake. Paid for it. Subsequently changed my order to remove the dairy free requirement. Cost difference was $4.00 which owner didn’t think was significant enough to refund to me and kept it. It’s not the $4, it’s the principle. Cake was to be ready for pickup at 1pm, it wasn’t ready until 1:20. The cake was plain and not what I expected…especially because the owner had assured me it would be beautiful. Um…I could have done a prettier job of decorating this cake myself. The cake slid off the platter as picture shows despite the short and careful drive from shop to home. The cake itself was dense and hadn’t been baked properly, the vanilla buttercream frosting had no sweetness at all; it tasted like pure butter and was rather gross and oily in the mouth. The cake was overpriced but when I ordered, the owner boasted that she would provide a beautiful and delicious cake, so I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Big mistake. Finally, the owners neither apologized for the cake not being ready as promised nor for making us wait for it. Rude. Additionally, the day of ordering, I purchased an oatmeal cookie, a chocolate chip cookie, a cheesecake tart and a creme brûlée tart ($20!!) The cookies were mediocre and the other cheesecake and creme brûlée were average. Extremely...

Ooooooohhhh mmmyyyyyy gooooosshhhh. That’s almost all I can muster.

Listen. Life can get hard when you’re vegan and gluten free. Finding treats that satisfy your cravings, don’t make you physically ill, and aren’t made of a million artificial ingredients you can’t even pronounce seems impossible. Then to find it at a reasonable price point, locally, and where it’s being made by two of the friendliest and coolest people I’ve ever met... you can’t top it. My daughter, boyfriend and I stopped in for the first time today as I was on the hunt for some birthday treats for my birthday tomorrow. Everything we tried was incredible. Crystal had vegan and gluten free white cupcakes prepared, and let us completely customize the toppings to whatever we wanted. We did 3 with vanilla buttercream frosting, vegan caramel, and toasted coconut. Another 3 with chocolate frosting and raspberries. We got many things, but of the cheesecakes we bought, they suggested additional toppings like hazelnut and cinnamon and we were just over the moon with the entire experience.

We will be back for every occasion in the future and are so excited to get to know them and be welcomed by them and watch them grow and expand! We will be there every step of the way. I’m a chocolate fiend and it’s impossible finding amazing vegan chocolate....

If I could give zero stars, I would. We have gone into this location several times for different small baked items-cookies and such. However, on one of our visits my husband had a nice conversation with the owners about How much she loved banana cream pie and she suggested her “wonderful” banana cake. We ended up ordering this cake for his birthday and it was not at all how it was described. The cake part itself was good however the frosting was just like someone took a stick of butter, whipped it up and put it on the cake. It was not sweet at all and had no flavor. The frosting that was described to us was a cream cheese frosting. This was definitely not that. Also, when we opened the box, the top layer of the cake had slid off and was pretty unsightly for a birthday party! Overall, for the price, pretty disappointing. Also, as I understand it, my daughter and her husband who had ordered the cake and picked it up we’re not treated nicely by the owner. It was promised at five and when they tried to pick it up it was not done and had in fact not been started. My son-in-law had to pay an extra $20 to get it expedited so that he could get to our birthday party on time. As it was, he was late due to having to wait for the cake. This is just not acceptable for a small business Who presumably counts on...
