Silk Cakes - Forest Hills

They recommend letting the cupcakes sit at room temperature for a bit to enhance their texture, but if you're eager to dig in right away, the staff is more than happy to warm them up for you. I still buy cupcakes there with my daughter—it’s simply hard to resist! The space is a bit limited, accommodating a maximum of six people, and the step leading into the shop may not be very child-friendly, but the staff is always ready to lend a hand. I highly recommend checking them out! Some of the flavors shown in my photo are seasonal.

For the cakes, I tried the Ube (Purple Yam) cake topped with coconut whipped cream — and it's vegan! For the best experience, make sure to enjoy it at room temperature (let it sit for about an hour and a half before eating). Here are their prices: - 6” cake for $28 - 8” cake for $44 - 10” cake for $55 - 12” cake for $95 - 14” cake for $150 As for cupcakes, they are priced at $3.50 each, and I tried: - Yuzu (Japanese Lemon) cupcake with strawberry buttercream and nama green tea filling - Hong Kong milk tea cupcake with coffee buttercream (seasonal) I was particularly excited to try the Thai tea cupcake. While the tea flavor was quite subtle, I still enjoyed it, though I found the other flavors more delightful. Choosing my favorite was a challenge because all the flavors offered at Silk Cakes are exceptional. The menu also features additional items, including: - Cake slices for $5.50 each - Mini round cakes for $8 each - Milk rolls for $2.50 each - Hot or iced coffee starting at $2.50 - Hot tea for $2 (small) or $2.50 (large) Inside Silk Cakes, the atmosphere is clean and tranquil, with a small table and about 7-8 chairs available while you wait for your order. I will definitely return to explore their unique seasonal flavors and order more birthday cakes! P.S. There's a treasure trove of sweet food baby pictures! This is my go-to spot for custom birthday cakes for Matty, Sammy, and Nicky. I had a great time browsing the Yelp gallery showcasing the exquisite cake creations by Judy Lai.

I had an incredible experience with both the cake and the service! I ordered a vegan cake for same-day pickup in the morning, but I hadn't paid yet since I didn't have my card with me. Despite that, they went ahead and made the cake and even called me in the evening to let me know it was ready. It was a Friday, and the traffic was insane, but they patiently waited for hours until I could arrive. They stayed until 8:10 PM just for me, which was so thoughtful! I’ve never experienced such excellent service before. Plus, the cake was fantastic! Wishing them all the best for their silky cakes!

So many options with so many fascinating flavor combinations! The Thai tea cupcake was so good (then again condensed milk in some form is my weakness, and I liked the texture of the black sesame cupcake. The Yuzu Cupcake fits well with its strawberry butter cream. The vegan Pandan cupcake with its chocolate avocado cream was also surprisingly decadent. Very recommended! Honestly, the only one I was unsafe was the vegan Ube cupcake – his coconut whipped cream turned around coconut water as soon as it touched my tongue. The sakura flower cake – beautiful and the texture inside was actually beautiful, like a soft pudding cake. The original milk tap – average, like any other milk tap, can be found in a regular bakery. They were from the chocolate chips and cream version, so they replaced my order with the original type (and were friendly enough to put my change above; thank you! .

My wife and I love this place. We have gotten a custom made cake for our son's 2nd bday party and this year we ordered 40 gourmet cupcakes for his 3rd bday party. The food taste amazing. All of my friends complimented on how delicious the cupcakes were. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There is only a small table to sit at but it's more for ordering goodies for parties. Try the banana nut and Nutella cupcake my wife's favorite. I really like the Japanese uzo aka lemon and strawberry creme cupcake
