While exploring Easton on my way to St. Michaels, MD, I found myself with a very important problem…read more I wanted dessert. Not ice cream. Not candy. I wanted a proper baked good. A quick search pointed me toward Ruby's Cake Shoppe & Pastries, and after seeing it was one of the highest-rated bakeries in town, I figured the Universe had spoken. Off I went. Ruby's sits quietly in a little strip mall that would be easy to drive right past if you weren't specifically looking for it. Fortunately, I was looking for it because a day with a cupcake is almost always better than a day without one. When I walked inside, I had the bakery all to myself. As an overthinker who's capable of spending way too long deciding between desserts, this was tremendous news. Nobody behind me. No pressure. Just me staring lovingly into the bakery cases trying to convince myself I had enough self-control to leave with only one cupcake. Spoiler alert...I did not. Being the peanut butter enthusiast that I am, the Peanut Butter Banana cupcake immediately caught my eye. Banana and peanut butter is one of life's greatest combinations and this cupcake absolutely proved my point! The cupcake reminded me of a wonderfully moist slice of banana bread while the frosting was thick, rich and unapologetically peanut buttery. This thing was GOOD! Then Ruby herself came out to check on me. How cool is that?! We chatted for a few minutes and she told me her favorite cupcake is the Hummingbird. In fact, she laughed and admitted she usually eats three every time she makes them. Three?! Challenge accepted! Just kidding. Mostly. Naturally, I had to see what all the hype was about. And Ruby wasn't lying. The Hummingbird cupcake completely stole the show! It was incredibly sweet without being over the top, and the pineapple running through the cake made every bite bright and interesting. The cream cheese frosting was wonderfully sweet and paired perfectly with the cake. I honestly couldn't stop smiling while I ate it. At $3.75 each, both cupcakes felt like an absolute bargain. Ruby's also specializes in custom cakes for birthdays, weddings and celebrations, and after tasting these cupcakes, I can only imagine how incredible those cakes must be. Parking was plentiful right outside the shop, and while there are a few small tables inside if you'd like to enjoy your treats there, it seemed like most people were stopping in to grab dessert and head on their way. My advice? Don't just stop because you happen to be driving by. Make Ruby's the destination. I know I will! Anytime I'm within striking distance of Easton, there's an excellent chance you'll find me standing in front of the cupcake case once again pretending I'm only buying one.

We needed a birthday cake for our Miko, Celebrating her 1st…read morebirthday. Ruby's was highly recommended by a friend. I spoke with Ruby herself and she guaranteed that it would be made to order , that she personally tastes all her beautiful desserts. We were not disappointed, it was fresh, ready on time and enjoyed by all. I should also mention, this was made for our puppy ~ dessert aren't just for humans

What an amazing little bakery. We love coming here to grab breakfast sandwiches or pastries and…read morethey never disappoint. Their plain croissants are so beautifully flakey and large, and taste delicious. The biscuits are buttery, flavorful, and moist. Just recently we got their donuts which were delicious and beautifully decorated. The cinnamon rolls are hard to beat with a mix of sweet and savory with cinnamon in a gooey bun. I could list all the pastries I've tried (of course not all in one sitting), but instead I recommend you drive over to Fields of Heather and put together a little box sampling a bunch of different items. I know they also make cupcakes and cakes but we just haven't tried them yet, though I'm sure they're delicious too!

Lackluster folks! Save your coins…read more... I was disappointed, as I expected so much from the reviews I saw online. The ambiance was nice. Nice decor, but overall is definitely a never coming back. It was extremely dark, I thought it was closed. Customer service was trash. Prices were excessive for what you are paying for. I paid $12 for a sample box of 8 minis. They were frozen and I wasn't made aware of this until after payment. Actually, they were freezer burnt. A bakery selling frozen product???!!??? There is a walmart around the corner with plenty of frozen deserts within reason - why should a consumer pay $12 for freezer burnt minis???? If you don't pay enough attention to your packaging before freezing, how do I trust your product???? Plenty of fresh cheesecake baked in house at the Cheesecake Factory for the same prices (imagine that). Save your money and a trip, I know I will.

They have a decent amount of flavours to try. I ended up getting the banana toasted coconut caramel…read moreice creamy. The flavour was delicious and decaí. You don't need to add anything else because there is a bit of saltyness meets the sweetness of the banana and the coconut flakes gives it a decent amount of texture over the ice cream base. I got to sample the banana almond chocolate ice cream that one was good. The toasted coconut ice cream left me a lot to desire because I did not get to experience the actual coconut flavour besides the texture of flakes. That one felt like it was vanilla ice cream with toasted flakes. They do make sure customers are satisfied. The ambience reminds me of Ladurée in NYC minus the crowds. I loved the decor and the intentionality behind it. I loved the wallpaper in the bathroom. It was so cute and whimsical. I need to come back and try the crepes by coming in before 4pm. Otherwise, if you come past 4pm you can still try their pies, and ice cream with a glass of dessert wine( I saw they had during my visit a good port selection!). One last thing, I took home some their homemade cookies. That academia cookie, hit the spot and will definitely recommend you to try it!

After some perusal, I elected a chocolate mousse slice. It was a resplendent work, with strong chocolate but a mix of flavors including a surprise hit of caramel at the bottom. The ice cream is locally made but I certainly did not have room to try it. There seem to be several local businesses under this general ownership, which gives one a good reason to pull over while traveling through the region.

Let me start by saying.. I really don't like cupcakes. I think they tend to be over-hyped, and…read moreunderwhelming. Surprisingly, that's NOT the case here. This small "mom & pop" bakery in Bridgeville boasts inventive flavors, a cake that has body, and frostings that are flavorful without being cloyingly sweet.

They don't have a lot of seating, but it would also be nice to just walk around and enjoy the ice cream.
