    Carrot cake with whipped cream
    Sho R.

    I ordered a birthday cake from here. It was a carrot cake with whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings. The cake was beautifully done and was delicious. The shop was neat and quiet.

    We ordered this cake for my daughter's golden birthday! I sent them an inspo pic and they NAILED it! I was soooo happy when I picked it up!

    We ordered this cake for my daughter's golden birthday! I sent them an inspo pic and they NAILED it! I was soooo happy when I picked this up! They were so accommodating and answered all my questions! They were friendly and the lady at the front counter was so sweet! Will definitely be ordering from them again! The carrot cake was amazing!

    We got our wedding cake and cupcakes here! Everything about the process was smooth and easy! The cake looked beautiful and was delivered on time! Cake was delicious!!

    This is suppose to be baby shark... What it actually is is wack
    Chy R.

    Ordered a baby shark themed smash cake and what I ended up with was coked out-meth shark. We paid over $100 for some cupcakes and a 6" single tier wack cake. When we picked the cake up, the employee commented that they have been getting a lot of baby shark requests lately, but I can't tell by the horrible composition. The women on the phone who took the order sounded harried and mentioned that they could do the cake, but they had 2 weddings to do the same weekend which begs me to think 1) sounds like a personal problem and 2) that our cake was a sloppy, rush job. They are not open on Sundays and I wanted to confirm that I had to pick up my cake the day before, to which she replied, "I already told you twice, we're not open on Sundays". Seems like they won't need future business from me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    This is what I asked for but no flower or the unicorn horn.

    cupcakes were ok. Cake was not what I asked for at all. Was hoping to be happy with what I got but very disappointed. Next time I will take the one hour drive to actually pick up something worth the money. Instead of driving 30 mins for something that really wasn't worth it.

    Custom bluey duck cake.
    Hope B.

    If you love Bluey as much as we do you'd understand how the duck cake was a must. Since my strong suit is certainly not baking Craig's Cake Shop made the perfect rendition for us! Not to mention they accommodated a last minute cupcake order add. If your looking for custom cakes in the Madison area we definitely recommend them. Not to mention how tasty it was!

    Got my 18th Birthday cake from here. It was yummy and beautiful!! The layers are lemon poppyseed cake, raspberry cheesecake mousse, vanilla cake, lemon curd, vanilla cake. I was disappointed with the frosting. It should've have been a huge surprise because I'm not that big of a buttercream fan but the vanilla buttercream was way too sweet for me and my family (and it was very thick). I wish we'd gone with the signature whipped cream frosting but the ombré sides design wouldn't have worked out with that. Will have to try a 4" or cake push up pop with the whipped cream frosting because the cake taste was great!

    We had a carrot cake for a birthday party with over 200 people attending and everyone raved about how great the cake was. even my sister a professor baker said it was awesome‼‼‼

    Licensed Bucky Badger cake
    Maeghan N.

    We wanted a special cake for my baby's first birthday. We were hosting on a Badger football Saturday so we really wanted a Bucky cake. We found Craig's has the official licenses to reproduce the UW copyright images like Bucky and the motion W. Got a round red velvet cake and everyone said it was moist and delicious. Baby got a free Smash cake that was plain vanilla with whipped cream frosting - it was huge! Very happy with my purchase.

    This place exceeded my expectations. It's a little far from downtown madison but worth the drive. I called 5 days before I needed a cake that would serve 50 people and it was no issue to get exactly what I wanted. They did a contactless delivery in nice packaging ( I felt bad I didn't have cash to tip; they deserved it ) at the bridal shower I hosted almost everyone who tried the cake was wondering where I got it. It was so delicious and looked gorgeous. I got the mocha filling with the shaved sides and chocolate. It was literally melt in your mouth good. If I ever need a cake again, I will order from you.

    A purple dragon birthday cake
    Heather C.

    We had a special cake design for a teenager who wanted specific things, so we had to find a cake shop with the skill level to accurately create what would definitely be considered a masterpiece. Said teenager sketched what they wanted the cake to look like, and we presented the idea to the staff at Craig's exactly 7 days before the actual event. They were excited to do this project, and were good at communicating. In the end, we had a seriously cool dragon cake for a very happy teenager. It was one of those situations where it was so artistically well done, it seemed like a shame to cut it up and eat it. But we slayed the dragon anyway, and it was goooooood. All of the teenager's friends were impressed as were the adults. Thank you Craig's Cake Shop, it was a seriously cool cake that will never be forgotten.

    Looking at the Union from perspective of boater on Lake Mendota!

Tucked I a cozy house, the Sow's Ear is part coffee shop part knitting craft store. They offer a variety of knitting classes and community offerings under this roof. It was bustling with warm energy during both of my visits. They sell baked goods form Madison Sourdough Company, a variety of coffee and tea drinks along with a few gift items like jams, coffee beans, and earrings. We ordered the protein oatmeal topped with walnuts and pumpkin seeds (twice since it was so good- and healthy) and the toast with rhubarb jam. On one of the visits they were willing to make cinnamon toast for my sister who was sick at the hotel with the flu. A family comfort food. "They also make a delicious "fierce mocha with chocolate and cayenne. Highly recommend this charming spot in Verona!

There are way too many affordable and cute places nearby to give the eatery another go. The prices are steep, especially for what you get. I ordered the brocolli cheese quiche, which literally had no cheese! The salad was ok, not very substantial -- it was only greens and no veggies. My sister ordered a sandwich and chips, which looked like less than a half order from Panera for double the price. Drinks were the most affordable option but still over $3 for a simple tea or coffee no frills.

    I like it here, but cozy coffee shop it is not if that is what you're looking for! This is a great…read morespace but it's large with high ceilings and metal furniture and I don't know how comfortable it'd be to hole up here and work all day. It can get kind of loud as well. The lavender latte is a good one and worth the struggle to find a parking spot for. The Italian sodas do NOT come with cream so you need to specify that if you'd like a traditional cream soda. The pastries have never appealed to me on the several occasions I've been - they are large and there are some of the old standbys like danish but there's a lot of artificially colored/flavored options as well such as cereal bars. This last visit I ordered the cheesy hash brown bites with chorizo - good, but filling, and just a little too much pickled onion perhaps or maybe it was the chorizo - the main flavor profile was more tart or sour than spice or savory. I also felt the addition of shredded cheese was a bit much - but greatly enjoyed the micro greens to complement flavors. I've had the avocado toast before and enjoyed that. My daughter's açaí bowl was served in a to-go cup and somewhat difficult to mix. The staff has always been friendly when I've been.

    Overall score 16/20 Here is my review friends…read more... Atmosphere- 5/5 Very appealing. Spacious. Nice seats, clean. Would be nice if they added some indie music for the vibe. Service- 2/5 Slow. Had to go up and ask for my food. Coffee came first, finished before food arrived. Drink 4/5 Good! Not overly hot, has flavor. Nailed it in the flavor profile, but could have been a tad bit more noticeable. I want a coffee to taste what it's listed as. Not like a Lacroix lime, flavored drink. I.e hint of a flavor. Food 5/5 I got the Berria burrito. Now tell you what.... It took an hour to get this food. My expectations were low! To my surprise, they nailed this burrito. Hashbrown ball was good too. This may have saved my overall score.
