We went in to The Cakery only a week before we needed the cake not knowing exactly what we wanted. He wanted something classy and not cheesy to serve. We ended up with a two-tier cake with chocolate on the top filled with ganache, and white cake on the bottom filled with lemon (which was like a lemon curd you would find in a lemon meringue pie). The entire cake was iced with buttercream and ganache was poured over the top of both layers. The rest of the cake was decorated with strawberries and music notes/treble clefs made out of chocolate. It was beautiful! The cake tasted great! My only feedback would be that the buttercream was so good, I wish we had done another layer of it with the fillings. The bakery delivered it for free to The White Inn, and the cost was very reasonable. I'll bet they would make a great wedding cake!

The prices are a bit steep, but quality of items definitely makes it worth it. The actual interface could use some tweaking.

Their fb page is usually updated, but it would be nice to see it on the order screen vs having to also look online. The items come out cold and it does say to let them come to room temp for best flavor which is true. The difference is worth the wait.

I was looking for a coffee and this place was closer than the place in Niagara Falls, when I was in…read moreNiagara Falls. I tossed it onto my GPS and remember that I've been here in the past. There's a good amount of street parking here but pay attention to the signs as there are areas you can't park in between the spots you can park. I hopped in and the place was packed. I had a look into the display case, asked about some pastries as it was late in the day and they were closing soon. They recommended a pear one as it was always nice since some of the other fruits can be more tart in the winter. I settled on that and a latte. I swear it was around $6-7 which I don't think I can even get a latte for that in Ottawa. They had my pastry wrapped in no time. I was a bit nosy and popped my head into this doorway as most of the seats were taken to see if there was more seating there. It turns out that it's another part of the shop. It serves gelato and I assume it's seasonal. I'll be back to check it out in the summer. By the time I returned, my latte was ready and I was heading out the door. I had a sip of the latte and it was nice. The pastry was also a really good recommendation. I'll return to try some other things in the future.

There are not enough stars possible for the amazing cookie dough cinnamon roll I had here!!!…read more I've been on a huge cinnamon roll kick lately, and I've been trying any ones that use real vanilla icing (ain't nobody got time for that cream cheese icing monstrosity, lol) that I can get my hand on. This amazing place is located at the end of a large strip center that also houses an Aldi and Mighty Taco. The all glass windows and doors give it plenty of light and very open feel - something that we haven't seen much in this area with the beautiful intricate architecture (to us Floridians anyway, lol). The first day we went it was fairly empty and they were nearing closing time. Despite this, the lady who helped us was friendly and informative. She explained they make regular cinnamon rolls and pastries but also have a specialty roll of the week, which was cookie dough this week. They were out of almost everything except some of the day old rolls - which included a cookie dough one. Where we live, specialty cinnamon rolls are filled with the typical cinnamon and just topped with specialty stuff, so I assumed I would get the cookie dough one and try both their cookie crumbles and their traditional cinnamon roll in one. Boy was I wrong. Having bought far too many desserts in the last few days of this visit, I put the cookie dough roll to the side a few days, but when I tried it - OMG!! The center of the roll is COOKIE DOUGH AND NOT CINNAMON. When I tell you this is one of the best desserts and food inventions I have ever seen, I MEAN IT!! Nevermind the crookie or cookie dough croissant craze, these people have created heaven in a dessert. Needless to say, I had to go back again today for another, as they close on Mondays and change their flavors on Tuesdays. A different person was there, but she was just as helpful. And they had just one last cookie dough roll, which of course I had to get. If you ever get the absolutely divine timing that I did and find yourself in the Hamburg, Buffalo, or Amherst (I know of these locations specifically, there may be others too), and they are running the cookie dough rolls, you HAVE TO try them!

It's been a while since I grabbed a treat from Kaylena Marie's. I'm glad to say they're as…read moredelicious today as they were the last time I stopped in, even after the various changes they've had! On a Saturday, around 11:45am, I arrived at the Hamburg bakery, the newest location of the small franchise. There was plenty of parking in the HUGE parking lot as the bakery is next to an ALDI. I walked into a large space with plenty of tables and a bar along the window with stools, reminiscent of Orchard Park's seating setup - It felt warm and inviting, plenty spacious, very easy to converse with others. It was great seeing quite a few tables filled with people sipping on coffee, pastries, sandwiches, etc.! They do have a pretty large menu of breakfast items and sandwiches along with plenty of drinks, which are listed on their menu located at the counter. Walking toward their case of goodies, I was a little surprised at the limited selection, albeit they were definitely the more popular treats. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly, fun to talk to as I placed my order. All in all, a great ordering experience and a spot I wouldn't mind sitting down and having breakfast in. So what did I order? Fall 2025, Kaylena Marie's re-introduced their "Specialty Rolls" with the big change being the size being "mini" compared to their normal cinnamon roll, which is HUGE. I'll be honest, I was a concerned the "mini" would be a tad too small, but, after ordering two, I say they are perfectly sized. For the week of 11/03/2025-11/09/2025, the Hamburg bakery's "Specialty Mini Roll" flavor was cookies and cream, dubbed the "Mini Oreo Roll", which is Kaylena Marie's roll swirled with crushed Oreo cookies, chocolate, and creamy filling then topped with more Oreo cookies and glaze. I ordered two, one for Saturday and one for Sunday. :) When the "Specialty Rolls" were giant (i.e. Kaylena's 'normal' size), this was my favorite flavor, so I was really happy when the first forkful brought me right back! The roll was as soft as I remember and the creamy inside with chocolate and Oreo cookie swirled in was excellent. The "mini" size was perfect, albeit I did have a little ice cream with it. :) But truth be told, the "mini" is the proper size for these specialty flavors. Also, stick it in the microwave for 20-25 seconds, thank me later! As for the price, in 2025, this was nicely priced, certainly not as pricey as I expected, which was another treat. Kaylena Marie's of Hamburg is an inviting bakery/café! The staff working are courteous and friendly and the treats are on-brand with the original idea of Kaylena Marie's. I will certainly be back for another batch of "Specialty Mini-Rolls" or perhaps a 'Normal' (aka GIANT) cinnamon roll for old time's sake. haha
