Sweet Pearl Bakery — Restaurant in Shoreline

I luckily found this place right before they closed, and I am so glad I did find this place because it made my birthday dessert spectacular!

At first, finding this place was a slight struggle, but once did find it, you probably wouldn't expect them to sell desserts because they look like a cute little coffee shop. Even though it was almost closing time, there were still a decent amount of desserts to choose from all the way from cookies, brownies, and their delicious cupcakes! The lady behind the counter was extremely sweet and nice, and seemed like she really appreciated us being there, even though they were about to close. Plus, it was pretty cool that our birthdays were within a week of each other's. She also gave me a little candle since it was my birthday!

Now, the cupcakes really impressed me. They were above my initial expectations! One of the cupcakes was vanilla, with a vanilla buttercream, topped with festive and cute sprinkles. This cupcake was super airy and fluffy, but this was probably my least favorite because I am not a vanilla person, but the clams itself, not regarding the flavor was very good.

Next, there was a chocolate cupcakes with vanilla and strawberry buttercream, topped with a cherry. This cupcake was probably my favorite, aesthetically speaking, because it was the most colorful, and reminded me of an ice cream sundae. I really wish there was more of that strawberry buttercream because it was just so delicious, and had such a vibrant strawberry flavoring. It tasted exactly like a strawberry pocky stick! Again, the vanilla buttercream on this cupcake was really good as well. I do have to add though, that on every cupcake, the frosting was very very dry, but the cake part on all of them were still fluffy and soft. I'm judging them all off of the flavor however.

The last two cupcakes are a snickerdoodle cupcake with vanilla buttercream, topped with a small snickerdoodle cookie, and a dark chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream, topped with littke chocolate chips. These two were both my favorite ones of the night, but I can't decide which one is better. I also have to add that I'm not 100% sure if every cupcake had vanilla buttercream, but that is just what I think it is. Anyways, I love the snickerdoodle cupcake because, well... every single component tasted just like a snickerdoodle! The cake part tasted just like a snickerdoodle, and I was actually expecting it to be like a vanilla flavor, but it was a delicious snickerdoodle flavor which was very airy, soft, and fluffy. The buttercream was also creamy and slightly tasted like snickerdoodle. The cookie on top was a perfect addition, and added another element with the soft, chewy, and crunchy texture of the snickerdoodle cookie.

Finally, the chocolate cupcake, probably my favorite one because I love chocolate! This one was definetly the most dense cupcake, but I was surprised by how rich the cupcake was! It was so delicious and tasty, and I would say it was luscious!

Overall, every cupcake was very solid, and exceeded expectations. I am so glad I found this place, because I will definitely come back for more, and it is always nice to support a small...

We searched for a bakery in the North Seattle, Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Mountlake Terrace, for a week online, and after driving to three of them we decided on the Sweet Pearl Bakery. My second daughter was going to turn 30, and my eldest daughter, being a baker herself went into the bakery, ordered the cake, bought some cupcakes, and tried them. They were delicious. She spoke with the girl who was very nice, drew out exactly what she wanted, and explained exactly what she wanted. We were having a big Rockstar birthday and needed a big yellow star cake with a black border and a black 30 in the middle. It sounds simple enough, but when my daughter went and picked up the cake we were completely shocked! We did not get what we ordered we got a round cake with a 30 on top. When my daughter said something about it the girl said she thought it would look better that way. What? We are the customers and we ordered a specific shape and design, which was completely opposite of what she did. We did not have time to argue because the party was about to start. Then there was not even in a box to transport it in. Unbelievable! This was a specialty cake ordered with a very high price tag my daughter was in tears, so she took the cake and left. Trying to get over the shock, we set up the table nicely with decorations,as well as cupcakes we bought from Safeway for the children, and the cake in the middle. We wanted this to be a very special event, so we did not show our disappointment, or how upset we were with the cake. We went on with the celebration for my Daughter's 30th birthday, we rented out the park for the whole day, and had a great time. Everybody had cupcakes from Safeway and they were great! Later at my daughter's we cut the Cake and all of us Adults and children took a no thank you bite, and the cake was terrible! The cake besides being ugly, was dry, hard and flavor was just not there, it tasted like bad dry flour. My daughters and I are just in shock at how bad this cake was! I just could not believe it and I still can't. I do not recommend this bakery to anyone having high hopes no matter the cost, because I do not want anybody to actually have a dream event, whatever it may be,...

I am so disappointed to be writing this. I went a few weeks ago to order my sisters 30th birthday cake. We discussed what I was trying to get. My sister loves rockstar energy drinks. So the star was the theme of the birthday. The girl I ordered from was sweet. I just wanted a yellow star cake with a 30 in the middle with black writing. She joked she would have to buy one to get it right because she only sells red bull. I bought a vanilla and a chocolate cup cake to taste.... we were having marble cake. The cupcakes were delicious no complaints my son loved them too. I was excited especially with all the great reviews. Fast forward. I picked up the cake on Friday. It was round with a gold star on top with a black 30 on top of that. I was heart broken. Simple yes which I like but not what we discussed. She told me it looked better this way. I was late for the surprise party and no time left so left. Just heart broken. We cut the cake, it was marble, but was so dry and the taste was way off. I went to culinary school and bake on a regular. Something was measured wrong somewhere. None of the adults ate it, just our no thank you bites. We have a whole cake, that was a pretty penny sitting here but dont want to throw it away because it is waste. But it isn't edible. I am just in tears. I don't know what happened. Good luck to future customers but we wont be back. I even left a decent tip, which I usually tip after work is done but I wanted everything to be great. We all agree to just go to Safeway next time. We...
