I don’t stop in here much, mainly because I’d be 400 lbs. However the strawberry shortcake is nothing short of amazing!! I get one every year for my birthday.

Purchased an assortment of cupcakes and 2 cakes for Thanksgiving. Came to town from TX so placed my order in advance of the holiday. Everyone on the staff that I spoke with via phone and in-person were extremely nice. This was quite refreshing. They even brought our boxes of desserts out to the car. While the cakes and cupcakes were beautifully decorated they were either dry (cupcakes) or wet (not moist but wet). The cupcakes (36 of them) they tasted like they were at least day old and were dried out. The icing was fine. The cakes (red velvet and chocolate cake) were wet. From my view, when I looked at the bottom layer of the red velvet slice that I had, there was an appearance of a wet area on that layer. It appeared as if maybe a sugar water mixture was poured onto the layers to try to keep the cake moist. There was just a little too much sugar water (if that’s what they did) which made the cake wet in some parts and dry in other parts. Again, beautifully decorated and excellent customer service. Unfortunately, no one at our dinner ate the desserts. The bakery was packed so I’m sure their regular customers were quite satisfied.

I ordered this beautifully crafted, delicious cake for my mommy’s birthday. There’s fresh strawberries & buttercream between the layers which she didn’t know ( she’s allergic ) but she loves it! Thank you !

The high ratings and images convinced me to try this place for the first time. I pre-ordered a pineapple upside-down cake online on a Thursday for my husband’s birthday. We picked the cake up on Saturday to serve on Sunday. I did as instructed, kept it refrigerated until 1 hour before serving. I cut into the cake and was quite disappointed. As you can see from the photo, the cake was dry and so was the fruit. The gel-like filling had an awful artificial flavor and color. The piped white icing was hard. The cake tasted stale, like it had been sitting in the fridge for a week before I picked it up. The only good part of the cake were the strawberries on top. No one, not even my kids ate more than one bite of the cake. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed with the cake and will not be going back. It seems as though they put more effort into decorating the cakes than into the actual ingredients, flavors, and textures. I also purchased 3 mini desserts – 2 cakes & a pecan tart. The mini-cakes tasted artificial and the pecan tart was just okay. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

For my birthday, my son placed a last minute order with them for birthday cupcakes, Katie the owner, recognized my name and instructed my son to delay his pick up of the order to an hour after closing time. They had basically sold out of their inventory and the cupcake selection was sparse. She remembered me as a long term customer even though I have not been there in a couple of years. She volunteered to prepared a fresh batch for an old customer. The dozen cupcakes were delicious and Gerald’s extraordinary customer service level was sincerely appreciated .

One of my close family friends work here but i saw some of the 1 stars they dont understand that the place is full all the time but there is very little to no employees i understand that the cakes are “wet” or “dry” but people are asking for 3 layer cakes and more the workers are working over time just to please you so dont complain if your cake or whatever is late.

Ordered a cake online for Friday for a birthday and was contacted and asked to move my pickup time to the next day at 1pm. Saturday we arrive at 1, and was told it’s not going to be ready until 2. We came back at 2 and still waiting as I’m writing this at 2:30 and STILL NOT READY!!! This is the last time EVER!!!

first time at this place and my opinion is that they focus more on appearance as some of the comments here already mentioned than quality. It’s perfect as gift/display for special occasions but taste is pretty average. They’re cheap though so I guess you get what you paid for.

Love this place, especially when I want a special cake. Always delicious, and they have gluten friendly options.

This was my first visit and it was well worth the wait. Due to the high demand of these delicious desserts and the requirements due to COVID protocols there was a bit of a wait to get in (about 30 mins). I would recommend you plan your visit accordingly to allow for wait time prior to entry.
