I have reached a point in life where I'm downright offended when I spend good money on mediocre sweets. If I'm handing over my hard-earned dollars, I expect happiness. I expect joy. I expect a little dance from my tastebuds. And thankfully, that's exactly what I found at Art House Bakery. The first thing that struck me wasn't the cake--it was the woman behind the counter. I'm not sure if she was the owner or not, but she was an absolute delight. The kind of person who makes you feel genuinely welcome the second you walk through the door. Not customer-service nice. Truly happy-you're-here nice. While perusing the sweet treats, I noticed pa filled with assorted cake slices. She explained that they were made up of cakes that might not have been perfectly level, didn't quite meet their decorating standards, or were a day old. Friends... These containers were $5. FIVE. DOLLARS. Naturally, I bought two because I possess both common sense and a sweet tooth. One container had two vanilla slices and a chocolate slice. The other had vanilla and red velvet. I made it all the way to my car before my self-control failed me and I took a bite. YUM. The cake was moist, flavorful, and had that unmistakable made-from-scratch quality that separates good bakeries from grocery store cake pretending to be special. What impressed me even more was what happened afterward. I shared some with one of my daughters the next day, and by then the cake was at least three days old. It was still delicious. And that speaks volumes. Any bakery can impress you with a cake that came out of the oven six hours ago. A truly talented bakery produces cakes that maintain their texture, flavor, and integrity days later. Eventually the whole family sampled pieces, and every single person agreed: this place is fantastic. Between the warm welcome, the incredible value, and cake that made me question whether I should have purchased a third container, Art House Bakery absolutely won me over. I'm thrilled to know there's a spot in New Braunfels ready to handle my sweet tooth whenever the need arises. And if Marie Antoinette would have said, "Let them eat cake," and meant Art House Bakery, it might have ben forgivable. read more

There's something divine going on at this place! They have mastered cake! I never buy cake from taco places. But this cinnamon vanilla cake in the display looked different! So I got a piece to go. It was everything a cake should be - moist and flavorful and soft buttery goodness in every bite! I didn't taste any chemicals like I do in store-bought or box cakes. This tasted like granny's kitchen from above. It makes you want to sing! I had to wait for the taco place to be open again to call them to place an order. I was working so I talked my mom into going and offered to buy her taco if she went and picked up one for me too. She didn't need to know I just wanted cake. I called and paid over the phone. They ran out of the cinnamon vanilla so I had to settle for the red velvet. I don't really like red velvet but thought if it is the same person that made the cinnamon vanilla, then I'm sure my taste buds would approve. My mouth was salivating and ready for it. Well ... I have nothing to report because they forgot to put my slice of cake in the bag!!! I know dietary warfare when I see it! I couldn't leave work so the lady gave me a refund. My obvious question was, when will you have more? She didn't know. Huh?? She felt bad so she graciously gave me the name of the bakery that provides them with cake. A bakery? And it's local??? Well that was my next call and I got the kindest lady named Carolyn over the phone. She kindly listened to my sob story and I felt like I made a friend. I ended up pre-ordering a vegan cake for my mom's birthday. My mom's not able to eat most desserts so I was grateful that they had a dark chocolate cake to offer. I absolutely loved meeting Carolyn in person. She was as fun and sweet as the homemade icing they make. It was incredible! My mom loved it. You would never know it was vegan. In the mean time, I still was waiting for the cinnamon vanilla that was unforgettable. So the following week I ordered a whole cake for Thanksgiving. So glad I had a reason to order a whole cinnamon vanilla cake and that I had people to share it with. I might have eaten the whole thing. Guys, it's THAT good!! And it was a hit!! I should have had their business cards because everyone wanted to know where this bakery was. Good thing I didn't fib and say that I baked it. Hahaha! JK! But it was just like I remembered it. Like heaven and rainbows in your mouth. I decided that this place will one day be my goto for a wedding cake! They have such a cute little shop that also offers delicious cookies and cupcakes and yummy truffles ... What a hidden treasure! Unfortunate things happen in life for a reason. If the lady hadn't forgotten my cake, I may have never discovered this special place. They are my people now. read more

I found my "go to" place for decorated cookies. These ladies are amazing and the cookies are both delicious and beautiful!

Carolyn is an unbelievable artist! Her attention to detail is incredible, and her work is absolute perfection. She was quick to respond, highly professional, and so personable throughout the entire process. I gave her an image of what I wanted my cake to look like, and she recreated it exactly--it was lovely perfection. I couldn't be more pleased and highly recommend Art House Cakery for anyone wanting a beautiful, delicious, and flawlessly executed cake. read more

I cannot give enough praise to Art House Cakery! They did a two tiered 80s wedding inspired cake for my parents 40th wedding anniversary party. I sent them a photo of my parent's original wedding cake, and asked them to replicate it for a two tiered cake, and they nailed it! Everything from the communication, planning, to pick up, the look of the cake, and taste - everything was beyond my expectations and amazing! When I went to pick it up, the girl at the counter was so kind and helpful, and even loaded the cake into my car and gave me some guidance on how to safely get the cake to my destination without damage. Planning a party can be stressful, and I was so nice to have this piece of the process go so well. Thank you!! read more
