Magpies

Stellar experience with Magpies! They made an absolutely beautiful and delicious custom cake to help us celebrate a coworker's birthday. It was a breeze ordering over the phone and pick up was on time, quick, and easy. Thanks for making the day special.

These are the BEST cupcakes ever! We try cupcakes in pretty much every city, as we travel quite a bit and it's a tradition now. Most are remarkably average, BUT Magpies is AMAZING! The cake product is awesome, the frosting is wonderful (not overwhelmingly sweet, and great flavors), and the flavor selections are fun and delicious! They will be a regular stop for us in Knoxville.

If you're from Knoxville there's no review needed. Magpie's is hands down THE place to get cakes, cupcakes, and sweets. We wanted to do cupcakes for our wedding, and we literally could not pick a favorite and ended up doing 6 different flavors. I almost cried when I found out other guests left with the leftovers because I was greedy enough to want them for myself. Elizabeth was great with communication, always helpfully sending over updated invoices whenever we made changes to our headcount and making sure we were paid out and good to go. I'd eat Magpie's as my sole food if my doctor let me.

Bakery cakes are a delicacy. Magpies cakes and cookies are a blend of exotic decadent delicacy and professional excellence. Third experience with the cakes and went out on a limb for the "sammies". Sugar rush, of course but it was worth every granule. Good prices, a convenient location and a great friendly staff make the experience top notch. Make sure you order ahead or check with them first as a steady stream of customers is common.

I live for magpies thumbprint cookies, I am obsessed. They are so good, and so is every treat they make!

OMG! Stop here! They should charge just for standing inside and inhaling the delicious aroma. Stopped today to get a birthday cake and, as usual, was not led astray by my fellow Yelpers! Ended up with a cake, brownies, cookies and cupcakes. Happy Birthday to me! It's probably a good thing I don't live close or my blood sugar would be out of control. So delicious!

This is one of best Bakeries in the city of Knoxville. You will never ever be disappointed with anything you get from here.

This is my favorite bakery in Knoxville. It is where I get all of my holiday cakes, pies or cupcakes. I will not go anywhere else. Everything they do is high quality and they are always very pleasant.

A little bit of Heaven in every cupcake. Magpies cakes, cookies and cupcakes are just a little bit of heaven on earth. There cakes are made daily, from scratch at their magical bakery. My son loves, eating mag pies crumb bums each week. Mag Pies Cupcakes are the best dessert on this planet

One of the best bakeries in Knoxville. If you need a customized cake please order a week or two in advance. Their chocolate fudge is the best one and the one in the picture below is 5 cake which serves 4-7 people easily. They use quality ingredients and have elegant cake designs. Other than cakes they also have cake crumbs, cookies and muffins. The cake shop has a very pleasant look and you can see the staff working on the cakes which is very interesting.

Was craving a fresh, real Carrot Cake and it definitely hit the spot! Called in the day before and they had a fresh one waiting for me the next day. Very yummy. Only critique was a little heavy on the cream cheese frosting- but better to have more than not enough! Cost was $25 for a 5 inch, several layers - in comparison to a nasty $15 spice cake at Kroger it was worth it :

Not a bad bakery. Pricy when you order a cake. Be careful when you order as they like not to listen and hidden up charges.

The first thing any new visitor will notice the moment they enter this shop is a sweet and pleasant smell of vanilla/coconut when they enter this shop. They definitely have a large number of options when it comes to party cakes, cupcakes, cookies and other sweets. Tried the chocolate cake there and it was delicious. Highly recommended!

Ordered a Halloween cake and sent my Pinterest inspiration. They nailed it with the design and the taste. It was sooo good. We will definitely be using Magpies in the future!

Great experience here. I ordered some mini cupcakes online for a gathering I was having. When I arrived to pick them up, the staff was so friendly (it was also neat to watch them work on cakes right there on front of you!) and they gave me a free cupcake for my birthday. I chose red velvet and it was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend. Next time, I think I will order a full red velvet cake.

If you want the best sweet treats from a local place, Magpies is the place to go! The ladies working in there were so kind and helpful, and not to mention that the cupcakes we got. THEY ARE DELICIOUS!

Magpies is the perfect baker for all your wedding needs. Katie and everyone else at the shop was so easy to work with and their product is amazing. They created the most beautiful looking and tasting wedding cake for our wedding. They seemed very accommodating with different budgets and were able to give us an amazing product for a very reasonable price.

It seems I reviewed to soon. We got about half way through the cake and discovered a long hair had been mixed into the icing and frosted into the cake. So gross.

I am not a big cake eater but I did try a piece of this cake and it was delicious! They definitely know what they're doing!

Fantastic bakery. I'm working my way through all the options and loving each item I try. I might be gaining a few lbs but it's worth it. I can't believe how good the cookies, cakes and cupcakes are. I died and went to heaven. If I was on death row, I'd request the sprinkle cream pie cookies. Last meal status, fer sure. All Butter All The Time, baby!

Magpies is a delightful little bakery with attentive, sweet staff. I bought a few items as a thank-you gift, and the cashier tied a ribbon around the box to make it extra special.

I was able to call in an order for a vegan cake with very little notice. Although they only offer one vegan option, the cake was delicious and a hit at the birthday party! Pictured here with homemade prickly pear sorbet

My son had a meet in Knoxville on his birthday, so to make it special, we decided to throw him a party before the meet. Not familiar with the area, I turned to Yelp for the best, closest bakery to where the party would be. Magpies came up and after drooling over their treats on their website and Instagram, I knew they would be the perfect place to order his birthday cake.

My son's only request was for it to be chocolate. He didn't have a preference for the frosting. I saw on their IG page that they offer oreo cakes and he loves oreos. I called the bakery and asked if they could make a chocolate cake with oreo frosting. They said no problem. I ordered a quarter sheet and arranged a date and time for pick-up. Pick-up went smoothly.

The bakery has an open concept and you can see the bakers prep right behind the counter. Very cool. I was greeted and helped right away. I've ordered plenty of quarter sheet cakes before but I've never seen one this thick! It was so thick the box barely closed. It was heavy, too! Everyone at the party loved the cake and asked where I got it from.

The cake was perfectly moist and the frosting was light and had the right amount of sweetness to it. Even though we had around 20 guests, we had plenty of leftover. We ate some at our hotel after the meet and even brought some back to Georgia!

Called yesterday for a peanutbutter cheescake for today & they had one made! From phone to walk in every single person was so very sweet as can be. Hubby, kids and i enjoyed it. Was delicious! Thanks so so much!

My favorite Knoxville bakery. They made our wedding cake almost 14 years ago and we have been loyal customers ever since. I love the strawberry cupcakes. I've tried other bakeries but most of the time just always wish it was Magpies!

My family and I love their cakes and order them for every special occasion. Recently though, I called to pick up a birthday cake that day using their pre made cakes. I wanted it decorated and to have writing on it. Unfortunately, the wouldn't allow me to pay over the phone and go ahead and decorate the cake. They said I had to drive there and if that cake was still available, they would decorate it for me.

I wasn't willing to drive 30 minutes to see if the cake was still available and wait for them to decorate. I don't think this is the best way to treat customers and will probably reconsider ordering for there in the future.

The people were great! The cookies were amazing and worth the trip alone. My cupcakes were a bit on the dry side, unfortunately. But the icing was perfect.

Loooooove this place. From small orders to large, all are delicious. I love the packs of mini cupcakes as well as their decadent cheesecakes. Magpies is making our wedding cake in the upcoming year, and they were totally open to flavor combinations and requests. Affordable. Delicious. And my kind of nutritious.

Staff was very helpful whenever I was placing my order over the phone and I needed it pretty last minute. Everyone at the party LOVED the mini cupcakes (chocolate, strawberry and vanilla). Will be ordering from again!

Magpies recently made our wedding cake as well as some other desserts for our post-wedding dessert bar. They did an absolutely phenomenal job and everything was extremely delicious! We chose an apricot and strawberry filled white cake with a semi-naked icing for our wedding cake and it turned out absolutely beautiful. It was fresh, tasty and done exactly how we requested. They were very reasonably priced and I would highly recommend them!

First visit but won't be our last! Red velvet with cream cheese frosting- delicious. Also had gluten free options without having to pre-order. The kitchen is open so you can see the cakes being created. Super friend staff.

Fabulous cupcakes and baked goods - the Sammies are incredibly delicious. I also ordered a custom cake for Valentine's Day that was both beautiful and very tasty. This is a great example of local businesses on Central Street in Knoxville - thriving and unique!

I hadn't had a magpies cupcake since we closed on our house almost 4 years ago. I can't believe it took me so long to get downtown to this amazing bakery. We couldn't decide what we wanted but the staff was patient as we checked out what they had to offer in their front cases. We ended up getting a dozen deluxe mini cupcakes, which come with six different varieties.

Besides cakes and cupcakes they also offer cookies, banana pudding, pies and, other sweet treats. They even have branded merchandise including baby onesies. I will definitely not wait so long to visit them again and it is nice to know that you can find magpies at locations other than their bakery so make sure to check their website to see if you can get your magpies fixed while shopping at your local store.

How have I not reviewed Magpies?! Oh my god. I suck. One year ago my husband and I had a private wedding in the smoky mountains, just the two of us on a porch overlooking the mountains. When there are only two people at your wedding you can have two cakes - right? Right. My husband wanted the Strawberry Cream and I wanted the Chocolate Raspberry - both wishes granted!

We both had our own personal cakes for our wedding and it was the best idea we've ever had. If I am remembering correctly we each got a 5 and it was under $70 TOTAL. For two wedding cakes! That's nuts! Such a good deal and we'll forever remember our perfect cakes. The cakes were so incredibly delicious and totally gorgeous! I wish we didn't live in Minnesota because for our 1 year anniversary I would love to get those cakes again!

My go to bakery for cakes of all sorts. When you enter, well when I entered, I noticed a little set up of free mini cupcakes! They had mocha, red velvet, and strawberry flavors; all of which I tried and all of which were moist and not too sweet. Great find! To the left is a sale section. That's where you should go! The deals are sick. Extremely cheap for one day off goods.

I came here for a birthday cake for another yelper and went with the oreo cheesecake. I was debating between that and the lemon cake and I should have went with lemon - she loves her lemon! Regardless, she loved it. I enjoyed it too but nothing beats an oreo ice cream cake. Extremely nice staff.
