When I retired last year we decided to have a custom cake made for the occasion. American Dream…read moreCakes nailed it! Service was great. We walked in and asked a few questions, then ordered what we wanted. They were also able to deliver due to the close proximity from the bakery. Delivery was a little early, but that was a good thing. The cake turned out amazing! We were very pleased with the overall service and quality of the cake. The cake was moist, tasty, and definitely enough for everyone. The bakery itself does have daily baked goods. The bakery itself is very clean and neat. The employees were nice. If you need a custom cake, I recommend American Dream Cakes nailed for sure.

Delivery only. Takes a week to ten days for your order…read more Everything is fresh and really high quality. Cons The giant apple fritters had almost no apple filling and because they are so large needed the filling and cinnamon mixture spread more deeply. Otherwise it's more of a glazed cinnamon round bread. The everything bagels were great as far as the bagel bread part goes but lacked in garlic and onion while being so heavily salted I had to wash them off in water before I could eat them. There was more salt than many pretzels have on them. Pros The rolls and bread were perfect and delicious. The sesame bagel's were among the best I've ever had. Fix the fritters and back off the salt on the everything bagels and I would have rated five stars.

We placed the order for a quarter sheet cake in red velvet with cream cheese icing and an appropriate but very specific character group which the bakery achieved beautifully with an edible, printed image.

That's been my 2nd negative interaction with the young man. The first instance was just a little creepy as he was talking about not having a gf and getting too personal etc.
