To die for Cupcakes!! Usually I do not like cupcakes cause…read morethey tend to be dry and the topping is usually just very sweet but tasteless. I discovered this little gemstone when looking for a parking and decided to explore. What a great decision! Welcomed and greeted with a smile I got a little intro about the shop, the woman behind these amazing sweet little things and the ingredients used (natural flavors, freshly made daily, etc.). I was excited and took different cupcakes and a mini cheesecake home. And Boy, were they good. Flavorful, great taste, moist cake, not too sweet, fluffy consistency and a filling like from heaven!! I'm impressed with the attention to detail, beautifully decorated and no frosting or cake tasted the same, the all have different ones. So glad I found this place. We will be back for more. Thank you for having such an incredible selection and such wonderful sweet things.

Hillman is a small town off M32 about 20 minutes west of Alpena. Mostly known for the Thunder Bay…read moregolf course, there are a number of clean and natural lakes in the area. The Black Squirrel recently opened up in the sleepy, forgotten town and it's like a breath of fresh air was pumped in to liven the tired town up. The owners are local so you know they care about their customers. It's evident the moment you walk in when you are greeted by a genuine smile and accommodating attitude. I was excited to try this place and the building itself welcomes you and kicks your experience off on the right foot. You first notice the amazingly clean and airy atmosphere of the bakery, then greeted by kind faces but when you peek back into that pristine kitchen and see the owner baking amazing items to set out, you know you are at the right place. They serve coffee - both drip and espresso specialty drinks - breads, desserts, and breakfast items (both sweet and savory). I got a vanilla mocha, a bacon and ham egg bite (it's the size of a muffin though), and a cinnamon roll. We drove back to the house and warmed up the food. The egg bite was very good. Simple but the perfect savory item to start with. The cinnamon roll was excellent - soft and fresh with cream cheese frosting that really hits home! Note that they are only open from 8a-12p (Tue-Sun) and often run out of things. They also have kitchen gifts and bread accoutrements that I'd like to try in the future as they have a special daily bread menu. Since we got there fairly early, they were setting new items out as they were prepared (which made it hard to choose, but in a good way). We will definitely return to try more of their amazing food!

Susan is one of the most amazing bakers I've ever had. She is very affordable and she makes sure to…read morecustomize the cakes/cupcakes to exactly what you're looking for. We used Susan for our wedding cake and cupcakes. When we did our tasting she had us over to her home and served us 8 cakes on her best china. When we were finished, she sent the leftover cakes home with us. It was so nice! If you don't see a flavor on her website, she will makeup or find a recipe to fit your request as best as possible. For our wedding, Susan came and set up all the cupcakes on her cupcake tiers and then came back at the end of the night to box up all of the cupcakes and take down the cupcake tiers. It was so nice! I will definitely use Susan again for any of my future cake needs. I highly recommend her!

They are open till 12. After calling the store- the younger male employee( the asshole with long blondish hair and beard- answered saying the close early on Saturdays to run reports. This is the same guys who ive seen swear at eldery ladies- rude often slamming things around and making people uncomfortable. Several of my friends and coworkers have said the same. Ill have to start spending my hard earned money somewhere else. A shame. Right around the block but will go elsewhere not to waste my time. Shame they make so much money of me and my guy. Sorry owners. You should know though- that guy is turning away business during business hours
