My family and I were out there over Spring Break and we purchased 4 cupcakes, 4 different kinds and we sampled them all. They were delicious. What I loved was that there wasn't an over-abundance of frosting, it was the perfect amount. I normally don't get cupcakes (watching waistline) so, it was a pretty unusual sight to see me going...

We visit this delicious cupcake shop every year during our visit to Marco Island. We went over Easter weekend this year and the shop held an Easter egg hunt for children. It was adorable and my daughter enjoyed it so much! I couldn't believe how thoughtful this shop was to go above and beyond making tasty treats and create something... More

We stopped in after lunch at Lee Be Fish, and had a yummy treat. My daughter tried a chocolate cupcake, and she was in Heaven! Whipped cream and chocolate ganache on top. My husband makes it a point to try the key lime pie where ever we go. They were out at Lee Be's, so he tried the mini-pies at... More

I picked up a cupcake after eating a few feet away. There weren't many options left, not sure if this was because it was 1 pm. I ordered a piña colada cupcake which wasn't bad. I like the unique taste. The price wasn't outrageous, and the cupcake was big enough for two people to share.

My daughter and I stopped in for a cupcake after lunch. This cupcake shop is new as of last September at this location. The previous cupcake shop moved out to another location in Marco. We both thought the cupcakes were very good. Better than what we had last year when it was a different place. I am by no means... More

Recently returned to Sweet Dreams, it was great to see the many new choices available. They've also added some ice cream, not many flavors but perfect with a cupcake. The adjoining store (pub) is just opening and it's a great little place. We set in the colorful courtyards and enjoyed the surroundings (look for the 12ft heart) it's truly a... More

I was surprised to see that there were already reviews on this shop - I hadn't realised that quite small businesses made it into Trip Advisor. Surprised, too, to see the very unfavorable comments on the new owners - I found them to be quite charming and very helpful. The early-ish morning opening was just right for me, and the... More

At first glance this shop gives off the vibe that it is a gourmet cupcake shop. Sadly, the cupcakes were dry and not very flavorful. I've been to many cupcake shops and to me these cupcakes tasted like the were made from a box. We purchased a few different cupcakes to try; unfortunately none of us had anything positive to... More

We visited this establishment several times last year when visiting Marco. This year I felt like the cupcakes didn't quite measure up to those we had last year. One thing that is missing is the delicious buttercream icing. The cupcakes we had this year had more of a whipped cream topping. The cake was a little dry also. The cupcake... More

Visited this shop same time last year and had delicious cupcakes from very friendly owners. Sad to find it had changed hands. Cupcakes are muffins. Too light and fluffy to even pick up. Just disintegrated. Only about 5 flavours on offer and assistant was unable to explain the flavours. Wanted an extra 2 of the flavour we chose but it... More
