Last February, I started researching bakers for cupcakes for our sons/daughter-in-laws wedding in July 2016. I live in Ohio and after talking with a well respected baker in our area, I started reading reviews of bakers in the Dallas/Plano/Richardson area. After much research and many calls, I was ready to visit the number one baker on my list in March when I was visiting the area. My husband, mom and the bride were to test taste with me. Because I had a little extra time that morning, we stopped at Meringue Bakery on the way to what I thought would be our number one pick. WE ARE THRILLED WE DID!!! We walked into MERINGUE BAKERY and were in AWE! The wedding cakes on display were absolutely gorgeous!!! I assumed they were all fondant because of their smooth beauty but after speaking with decorator, Gabby, I learned they were buttercream! Wow! Amazing work! We met one of the owners, Don, who was more than polite, kind and helpful in answering our questions. We test tasted the "Wedding cupcake" and wow! So moist!!!! It was absolutely delicious! I now realize why I love some wedding cakes better than others. I love the almond flavoring used in their wedding cupcakes. Vanilla is OK but this wedding cupcake with its almond flavoring is incredible! Due to our appointment at the other bakery, we left to test taste at least 15 different flavors of cakes at what we thought would be the bakery of choice. We were disappointed with the 15 cakes (spongy, airy and dry) and quickly returned to Meringue Bakery!!! We test tasted several other cupcake flavors with the bride deciding what she wanted. We then completed our order with Meringue Bakery with Gabys help! (Just to let you know, Meringue Bakery bakes cupcakes fresh every day and will not sell you or even give you ones to the contrary.) This was so quick and easy and we were thrilled with our choice! We learned that Meringue Bakerys cupcakes are bigger than the standard sized and come only with a white liner. We started looking for wrappers in nearby bakeries and online. We ordered an ivory colored filigree wrapper that had a little shimmer of gold. I sent one to Don at Meringue Bakery. He put it on a cupcake, took a picture of it and sent it to me via a text. This was so very helpful! The wrappers fit well and looked great! Don and Gaby requested we drop off the cupcake wrappers and the grooms cake "picks" a couple days before the wedding, which I did. On the day of the wedding, Gaby delivered the cupcakes right on time:)....in fact, I think she was a few minutes early:)! All the cupcakes were already in wrappers and with the designated "picks" for the grooms cupcakes. She was very helpful in putting out the cupcakes on the table that I had prepared with a variety of different plates/tiers/cupcake tower. It looked beautiful! I talked to both Gaby and Don on the phone with a couple questions now and again in preparing for the wedding. They were very kind, helpful and able to offer their recommendations, which I requested. If and when I need another cake/cupcakes in the Plano area, I would consider no one else but Meringue Bakery!!!!! Delicious and beautiful! Thank you, Gaby and Don, for all your help, expertise and delicious cupcakes! We had a wonderful time sharing your delicious cupcakes with our wedding guests. Best wishes for many more years of great baking and decorating!

Ive been to a lot of bakeries and this one is by far the best around--there is no comparison. They make wonderful, moist cupcakes and the icing is not soaked with dye, rather filled with different flavors out of this world. Such as red velvet with cream cheese icing; wedding cake with almond extract flavor in the icing; metropolitan with pudding in the middle; black & white icing over chocolate cake; and my favorite is peanut butter icing over chocolate cake--just enough peanut butter and not overdone. Prices are reasonable when you compare them to other bakeries that leave you eating a mouthful of bitter food coloring from the icing and dry cake. They also make good mini pies and cookies.

I loved this place! I was able to custom order 6 cupcakes that ended up using as part of my proposal to my finacé. I gave them a model of the TREAT YO SELF cupcakes from Parks and Recreation tv show and they nailed it. Plus they designed a unicorn cupcake since she has a thing with unicorns. Not only did it look good, it tasted good too! They were a pleasure to work with and the price was very reasonable. I loved that I could order less than a dozen and write more than one letter on my cupcakes. Will definitely go with them for anything in the future!

These are by far the best cupcakes ever. They put everyone else to shame. You owe it to yourself to try them. And half price cupcakes on Fridays, need I say more.
