Blackbird Sweets

I picked up a sandwich cookie with the frosting in the middle from their stand at Springtime in the Country and it was delicious!! Now I wish I had gotten more things to try. Will definitely have to check out their shop next time I’m on Hertel.

I stopped in Blackbird Sweets while wandering down Hertel Ave. What a nice locally owned bakery. The owner, Andrea, was an absolute gem, and answered any/all questions I had. You can tell that each cupcake was made with love and care. Highly recommend this women-owned, LGBTQ friendly, local business Wonderful experience, and wonderful products!

My friend and I went to Blackbird Sweets yesterday (my first time😊) and I immediately fell in love with the vibe, the owner, and her incredibly tasty treats! Andrea was super down-to-Earth, wicked friendly, and just seems like an awesome human. Her almond raspberry crumb cake was to die for!! 🤤 So moist, crumbly, and light with huge almond flavor coming through— I’d eat one everyday if I could! Thank you for being an amazing baker and sharing your delicious creations 💜🧁🥧🍪

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 owne

My wife and I first discovered Blackbird while trying out bakeries for our wedding desserts and have been hooked ever since. We got an assortment of mini cupcakes, brownies, brookies, and sugar cookie bars for our wedding and everything was a hit amongst our guests. We have been loyal patrons ever since and have yet to have a dessert from Blackbird that was not top tier.
