Jennifer Jennifer

I love the designed cookies with air brush. The shop is so quant and cozy. Yummy would totally recommend this place!

Jaime Bataller

We ordered some macaroons for our daughters' First birthday candy buffet. As soon as guests (kids)were allowed on the buffet the macaroons were gone in an instant! Yum!

Emmeline Guerrero

Have been going here for years! With every custom cake and treat I’ve tried, I’ve never been disappointed. Macarons are perfect ???????? Staff is very friendly too.

I’ve been enjoying Pinky’s bakery for many years now.. it has to be one of my faves in winnipeg. Their treats aren’t overly sweet and taste how items from a bakery should taste in my opinion. The owner Pinky is so kind and welcoming ☺️ always looking forward to coming back

andrew cull

Good cupcakes, lots of variety

Saul Correia

Best carrot cake I've ever had

I made a custom order for cupcakes with fancy custom decoration and after I ordered I had to push the pickup date back by a day. The shop had no issues changing the pickup date and the quality of the items was amazing. The cupcakes were red velvet, they where soft moist and delightful, the custom decoration was top notch exactly as ordered. I will be coming back for more.

Been CRAVING Philippine Sylvanas and always keep an eye out on places I am able to grab some but most bakeries that I know of that have these are a long drive, north of the city. Phingky was quick at responding and made these custom cookies for me, on a busy Valentine's Day. Also LOVE her ube crinkles!

Scott Kilborn

Love this place. One of my favorite go to places. Food and service e is fantastic.

Phingky was from start to finish a pleasure to work with; from helping design our cutting cake and two macaron towers, and also in setting it up to look beautiful at the wedding venue. It was really rather incredible that only with a few ideas and then some decisions about what kind of cake/macarons we wanted (i.e. colours, flavours, etc.) she was able to design such a beautiful arrangement. She was able to incorporate our unique cake topper and also ensure that everything tied in to the idea behind everything we were decorating. Really, I recall telling her only a few basic tenants to follow and then letting her know that I trusted her to just enjoy putting together whatever she felt was best because everything I'd tried, seen, or discussed with her prior really exemplified how she's not only a pastry chef but a true artist. She was also able to accommodate my need for gluten-free baking as I have Celiac which was a relief. It's also important to note that throughout the entire process she was kind, professional, understanding, and her timing was on point. She arrived early to setup the cake and macaron towers and everything was setup immaculately. She's basically an adorable human being with an incredible talent that she's honed throughout her backstory and has managed to fine tune in to a bakeshop that everyone should use for their occasion because she's very, very good, and she's second-to-none. Her help relieved a lot of our stress and concerns over this incredibly important component of our moment. Thank you Phingky, your services were greatly appreciated and everyone loved everything you were able to create. Personally, you're my bakeshop in Winnipeg, bar-none.

Have gotten costume made cakes here for a while now and they’ve been beautiful and delicious. Pinky is so accommodating and willing to work with you to create your vision. Fair prices and macaroons are yummy.

James Haryett

Awesome cupcakes we had one small hiccup with the order which she more than made up for highly recommend this place

Stradbrook Chiropractic Centre

Excellent service every-time! The dessert there is AMAZING. And there are also fresh americanos and lattes. We are a huge fan over at our clinic! #supportlocal

Josephine Cadizal

Pinkys Bakeshop is one of the best if not the best bakeshops in the city. From macroons, to cupcakes to 'all out' cakes - they never disappoint. Staff is always polite and have great communication skills. They have never sold me a custom cake I didnt instantly love!

Erin Amy

We got the day old cupcakes here a while back for half price and they were delicious! Haven't tried them fresh but I can only imagine! Lots of options and different flavours! Great place if you are looking for cupcakes!

Liz Cochrane

Beautiful cake was done for my god daughter!

Freya Marchena

One of the best cake I’ve ever tried in Winnipeg. It was delicious.Very Soft and savoury.

Ron Albo

I love Pinky's. I'm not a macaroon guy, but their cupcakes are outstanding. Nothing like them in Winnipeg. The owner is friendly, smart and fun to talk to. And they know what customer service is all about. Pinky's catered to my daughter's wedding and everyone was very impressed with how delicious their products looked. And no one was disappointed. Deliriously delicious. Five out of five for Pinky's.

Lesley Y

Amazing service and quality of baked goods!!

Nathan

Hands down one of the best bakeries in the city. Well done.

Serenity Duncan

Great vibe, amazing baked goods and iced tea latte

Robin Whiddon

I have been buying cupcakes here for my children's birthdays for years! The Red Velvet one's are to die for!!!

Nando “Nando” 0.o

The worst experience! Better off going to Safeway and purchasing a cake. customer service is just horrendous.

Kristine

Really delicious! Good selection.

Charmaine Crewson

Wanted some cupcakes for my hubby's birthday, Google 'Cupcakes Near Me'. This gem popped up. Didn't have to pre-order, was able to walk right in and get 4 amazingly delicious cupcakes!!! Craving more right now. Best cupcakes I have ever had. I've tried a few other reputable bake-shops around the city and these cupcakes were BY FAR the tastiest! Thank you!!!!!!

June 27, 2020 Pinky’s Bakery A Customer Review by Hassan Hawash Pinky’s Bakery ‘I want a vanilla one. Can I have a chocolate cupcake? I want another vanilla. Could I have another chocolate cupcake” says one, chimes in another, requests another birthday party friend. Would you like a cupcake asked of the moms and dads? “Oh, okay I’ll have a red velvet.” Those requests, appeals and responses all led me to believe I had made the right choice for the dessert following the pizza. Birthday party coming up? Cake or cupcakes? Well, we are talking 9 year olds in my case. Cupcakes are just easier, wouldn’t you say? No need for cutting just the right sized slice. No looking at the waste of a half-eaten slice of cake. Now, in my experience the size of the cupcake can be at issue, but not at Pinky’s. Nothing left behind on the plates! The texture of the cake of the cupcake can be a problem – too hard, (think shades of little red riding hood here. Oh, it’s too hard, oh it’s too soft, Ahh, just right!) but not at Pinky’s. Nice and fluffy. The icing sometimes can be too thick, too hard, but not at Pinky’s. Not enough theme based cupcake? Not at Pinky's. Pinky’s has a great variety of cupcakes and can prepare special ones on request. Think graduation, wedding, Christmas party, Halloween, etc. Pinky checks all the boxes. Pinky knows cupcakes, Pinky knows cookies, Pinky knows sandwich cookies, Pinky knows cakes, Pinky knows brownies. How does Pinky know? Well, this diminutive miracle worker didn’t come by her success by accident. She travelled a long way to get here by way of Vietnam through Thailand to Lac du Bonnet and now here in Winnipeg. She has a secret to her success, but that’s for you to discover. You really need to make the trip to her and sample her treats. With that said, the fact remains she has her finger on the pulse of what Manitobans crave or is it that she’s got her pinky on the pulse. Come try, you’ll love what she has to offer. You can even have a quick bite inside.

Jessica Wyborn

We love Pinky's in my house. It's our go to cupcake shop. They do an amazing job on themed cupcakes and the cupcakes are always moist. Their icing flavours are delicious as well. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

My friends got their cake slab and cupcakes from here for their wedding. The communication between customer and business was TERRIBLE. For weeks they heard nothing despite numerous attempts to reach them after giving a deposit. When they finally got in touch they blamed a family emergency for the lack of contact. Inexcusable. A simple email stating such would have at least been SOMETHING. But they ignored them for weeks. Until two weeks before the event. Skip to the day of the wedding. The slab and cupcakes arrive. The slab is nothing but fondant and a few piped swirly lines they wanted to charge $50 for. Swirly lines? At a $350 price tag overall, we expected something one of us COULDNT do. The cupcakes were supposed to be iced in fall colours(plums,gold/yellow, brown/bronze, orange). They were white, with odd tan 'flourishes' that I'm sorry, some looked like nipples. They called the lady and complained. She offered to come back, take the cupcakes and re-ice them, an hour out from dinner time. Ok fine. While in the kitchen re-icing them, AGAIN IN WRONG COLORS(green pink and orange..ok they got one out of three colors right) they proceeded to argue with the wedding planner that SHE was wrong, and that she should shut up. Seriously? That's how you talk to your customers? Hideously rude. Insisting they still deserve full payment. And that we have nothing on them, 'whatever it's just some emails' she said. Yeah. Emails. That's enough to show, in writing, that you're wrong. The cupcakes were falling apart, the tops weren't even completely iced, the piping job was half assed, the buttercream was gross, the sugar free ones tasted like aspartame...I could go on. Suffice to say, your business is a disappointment and embarrassment of epic proportions. You should be ashamed. You may get to keep their deposit, but in my opinion they owe you nothing more. Pinkys is a joke.

Rod N

Great cupcakes and french macaroons!

Al Aw-Ga-Chew

Super friendly service and the treats were delicious

Danielle

Love their red velvet cupcakes. They're moist and the icing actually tastes like real cream cheese icing.

T H

The best cupcakes on the planet.

Maryam A

She's a fantastic Baker. Great tasting cakes.

Lisa C

Terrible! She forgot my order and didn't seem to care when I arrived to pick it up. She asked me to return in a few hours because she was busy with other orders, although I had placed my order a week prior. When I returned, she tried to …

We had a bacon and cheese scone and shared a cinnamon roll. Both were very good. Every thing looked great. I know I shall go back and try other goodies.

Maridel Perez

DO NOT order a custom cake from Pinky's Bakeshop. Phingky herself was supposed to deliver my son's cake for his 1st birthday party but DIDN'T SHOW UP. She was supposed to be there at 11 and after calling her six times, emailing her and messaging her on Instagram, I didn't hear from her until 1:30. Phingky claims she wrote down the wrong date even though ALL email correspondence with her said October 1st and I asked her to confirm the date when I met with her the last week of September. Don't waste your time with her. I know I did. Thanks for ruining my son's party Phinky.

Grant Andruchuk

Best bakery ever! The cookies are to die for!!!

M P

love this place. :)

Cher Bell-Smith

Came across this little Bakery by chance today and bought one red velvet cupcake one cheesecake bar and one Dolly bar. Shared for dessert with the husband and son and wow are they all awesome. Definitely worth a visit. Macaroons looked great but not a fan of them.

Katie LaBerge

Best cookie sandwiches ever! Super friendly staff ????

B.L Cumberbatch

They got good treats

Vicki lang

Amazing cupcakes!

Best cookie sandwich in town!

M Kaur

Thankyou so much for making such a tasty and beautiful cake at such a short notice. My son loved it.. filling of choco mouse made it so yummy.. idea of the top remote controller to be filled with rice crispies made kids surprised.. Thanks once again. Will definitely recommend to family and friends..

Min Ser

Pinky is horrible. We walked in and were not acknowledge. When we are ready to order, she was pissed as if we were a bother. At that time she seems busy overseeing an order. Regardless, bad customer service. The baked goods were very low quality.

Review for anyone looking to book this vendor for their wedding: After a month of attempted communication, a cake tasting, and a request for a cake for our specified wedding date Pinky's Bakeshop let us down. We had attempted to get in touch with the owner on numerous occasions and was given the runaround for 2-3 weeks. Our request was to book the vendor for our wedding date, however once the owner got back to us she notified us that she was booked for the weekend. The excuse provided was that she finally got around to looking at the books and she had no availability. However, when we had our cake tasting this was not the case. We quickly put in a request for the cake, however, during that time she must have gone into the books and filled other orders with what she assumed were more lucrative opportunities. Therefore, I see this as a situation of incompetence or a an oblivious disregard for clients. Either way, it is unfortunate for the baksehop as we intended to order multiple other treat items for our guests. Now, I hope that it is understood that this is an objective review as I am not mad, just disappointed to be strung along for a month. I would have booked a competitor weeks ago. I think we all know who I am talking about. In terms of the products here... 2/5 stars is probably a fair rating. However, the service was so unprofessional that I had to round the overall rating down to be a representative figure. I was underwhelmed at the cake tasting, but decided to proceed as the cake at the wedding is low on my priority list. At the end of the day, I would NOT recommend this business. It is mismanagement like this that establishes a reputation. As far as I am concerned, I would not want anyone I know wasting their time with a vendor who simply does not care about its clients. If the owner/management would like to get in touch with me to provide a genuine/honest reason why this transaction went as it did I would reconsider. That being said, I am not hopeful.

Mashael M

By far the best cupcakes in town. Well done and yummy flavours. I ordered online couple of times for medium-sized events and they were delivered on time and everyone enjoyed them - including myself.

A G

I enjoyed their small treats like their macaroons, cupcakes and cookies. Friendly staff to.

Stephanie Hrynchuk

The best cupcakes and sandwich cookies in town ????

Brian Bucholz

The cookies are amazing delicious but the penmanship was very sloppy and poor design. The writing has 88 could have been neater!

Michaela Smart

My daughter and myself love Pinkies! The owner is so friendly each time we come in, and the baked goods are delicious.

Hannah Baker

Pinkys deserts are absolutely delicious!!! I had a completely vegan cupcake and I honestly liked it better then any cupcake I've tried before!! I would definitely recommend this shop for anyone

mark valdez

Very friendly staff.

Best bakery in Winnipeg

Great selection of treats that include fun Asian flavours and of course cupcakes! My personal favourite are the chocolate coconut cupcakes. Macarons are delicious and have a unique chewiness to them that's different from other bakeries. Their signature macaron ice cream sandwiches with home made ice cream is a must try.

Marty Santiago

Went there and theyre closed. Looked like good. Its not updated on google.

Kristen Lesperance

Interesting desserts but a small selection.

Jessica Stefanik

I've stopped in here last minute on multiple occasions, from just getting treats to bringing sweets for meetings, which is always a hit! The folks are always pleasant and everything is delicious. The proof is in the macaroons!

Sandra Desroche

Good cupcakes

Ninja Girl

The best cupcakes in Winnipeg in my opinion!! Hands down! Yum!!

W K

Yeah sure, their cupcakes are good. However, customer service is just ridiculous. Maybe it's time to stop buying from this place. Ordered some cupcakes for delivery, they cancel my order. Ordered again now for some maracons and couple of …

so cute

Andrea Young

Working with Pinky's Bakeshop was an excellent experience! I used Pinky's for my wedding last month and everything went extremely well! We had a dessert buffet and all the treats looked beautiful and tasted delicious!! The customer service was amazing! I highly recommend them!!

Sheryll Bailey

Pinky's cupcakes are the best in Winnipeg! We recently ordered cupcakes from Pinky's for our wedding and they were delicious and beautiful too. So moist and flavorful- they were a hit with all our guests. Thank you Pinky's!

Sonya Mann

Went in here yesterday to grab some macarons. The macarons completely fell apart with one bite in, just crumbled all over the place. I've never had macarons like that, even my homemade ones are better. If i'm paying $2 for a bite size macaron, that should not be happening. The lady who was packing my order was also quite rude and kept trying to push me to buy half of a dozen of the flavour to get "no tax." Never coming back here.

Beeno DC

We used Pinky's Bakeshop for our dessert table at our Wedding and we were very impressed with Phingky's work. She did a beautiful job decorating and having our guests salivating! She helped us to customize our dessert table, worked within our budget, and our guests loved it since they didn't leave any left by the end of the night! - Marvin and Dany

Patrick Proulx

Is a great place to stop by and get a snack or a treat. The staff are super friendly and keep me coming back!

Berina Kozic

Horrible service, the owner forgot to make a cake for the first birthday for my god son. She than lied and said she made the cake but thought wit was next week. She also made a cake for for my best friends shower. The cake was the wrong colour so we had to send it back and when she fixed it and the cake was over an hour late. The only reason I went here was for the strawberry icing but the service was not worth it. I don’t know how this place is still open.

Abie Staana

Great dessert, cupcakes, and more.
