    The sweet aroma filled the room. The desserts appealing to the eyes and making my mouth water. So…read moremany options. I had to make a decision. Customer service was pleasant. They handled each customer with care. They didn't rush me. I know i took too long to decide. After finishing my order I kept adding to it. I had to hurry and leave tge building before I added even more to the order. I ended up with 4 delicious cupcakes and a gooey butter cake. Everything was so good. The gold rush was the last cake that I purchased. I had completed my order. But got back in line to get it. 2 ladies told me that I can go ahead of them. I told them I already ordered and I'm ordering again. I initially got 3 vanilla butter cream cupcakes. Then I saw the gooey butter cake. I asked the young lady to add that too.. My coworkers placed their orders. Their desserts are kind of pricey. At least they are on my opinion. But they are very good. Of course there's parking out front.

    This location is kind of hidden. It's in the back corner of a strip center and off the main road…read more However, it is still easy to find and parking is a breeze. Yesterday, Sophia my little fur-baby had a vet appointment that was just a block away. Being a good dog dad, I made sure she arrived early. In fact, we were so early I had time to kill so I made a stop at, The Cup. To my delightful surprise, they had a special on two of my favorite flavors and they were combined into one cupcake. I love lemon & raspberry. The cupcake was called, Spring Fling. It was a lemon cake, with Raspberry cream cheese frosting and a raspberry filling. The cake was moist and soft. Most importantly, the frosting was not overly sweet and did not overly dominant the cake. It was just the perfect amount of topping. The lady working the counter was attentive and made friendly conversation. I was glad to see that they are part of the, Gift-A-Meal program and that they offered Student Discounts to those who attend SIUE. That's community supporting community.

    Whew! Lord! Where do I start? There's not a single bad thing in the place. I haven't tried…read moreeverything on the menu but I'mma reckon a guess, based on the fair amount of things I have tried and by the EXTREME FRESH AND PHENOMENAL QUALITY that i'm right. The chicken pot pie is unlike ANY I've ever tried before, its got a unique taste that I absolutely love. It's not a strong overpowering taste, and it's just the right amount of salt (I think those Marie Calendars pot pies are WAY too salty). Even when the pot pies are frozen they're not overly dry like a store frozen pot pie. You'll be ruined forever, and broke, ya'll no joke. When I was younger, there was a pie shop that made strawberry pies with a sugar glaze, not the gel glaze that's common these days. I've looked forever for a place that didn't make a strawberry pie with that nasty overpowering gel glaze. OMG. I don't know what kind of glaze they use in it. It could be a gel glaze but they just use less of it. I don't know. Maybe it's a different kind of gel? But this strawberry pie is the ONLY kind I can eat. For reals. I literally hate every other kind I've had so far, besides the ones I had when I was young. I also pride myself on making a mean apple pie. My grandma is an old school woman and when I was young, reeally little, she taught me how to make one without measuring spoons or cups or anything. I've had a lot of people tell me I make the best apple pie they've ever tasted. Well, I've been beat. And I do not admit defeat often. I give credit where its due, but not often do I admit being beaten. Admittedly, the best apple pie I've ever had. I've also never really had a pecan pie I've liked but when I heard this amazing lady threw chocolate chips in one I got a few of her pie bites and oh my goodness. That's my favorite so far. I cannot wait to try a good portion of the rest of her flavors. I also think its admirable and amazing that she carries blackberry pie, a berry native to my father's home state. The pie was also good!

    I'm being generous giving three stars. I purchased a small banana cream pie (got a coconut cream…read morepie) and a full sized cherry pie for a total of $50 minus a few pennies. I was excited to try "from scratch " baked goods. The crusts were average, did have a nice texture but did not taste homemade. The top crust of the cherry pie was a little undercooked. There was a lot of filler in the cherry pie, hence less cherries. The cherries did have a nice texture and tart flavor. High crust to filling ratio. The coconut pie was very sweet and had a nice consistency, though it was not what is ordered. I did not want to drive back to the bakery so sharing the pie with others. For the price, the pies were subpar and did not have a homemade flavor.

    Always in pursuit of "off the beaten path" gems you can often find in places in small town Indiana,…read morethe Red Room Cakery fits that bill. Prairieton....small township, population maybe 1300...maybe, 12 minutes from the south side of Terre Haute. Discovered on a Facebook post indicating a "pop-up from 10am-2pm" on the Sunday we showed up, the Red Room Cakery is actually wholesale and not normally open to the public. Lots of cake displays and brag books about, cakes are clearly this guys jam, in addition to the baked goods he sells thru restaurants in a 50 miles radius of his Prairieton ovens. And by "this guy," I am referring to Chef J who is here this day with his side kick employee Olivia. And don't underestimate Olivia and her shy demeanor, as a current student of Purdue's hospitality program and an award winning cake baker from a 4-H event not so long ago, she knows her way around a baked good. I always say "behind every good man is a better woman" and that be Olivia in this case. Chef J could not be more of a sweeter teddy bear type personality if he tried. Kind of a bit unexpected considering that this spot is not normally open to the public, which really means "I have enough business and I would rather not deal with the public." But on this day and in this moment of this pop-up that I show up with my aging folks from Terre Haute, we were treated with real midwestern hospitality...the kind that I have forgotten about living on the west coast and in giant urban cities around the planet. I tend to drill down hard to get to the meat of a business or a person, so after grilling this overgrown teddy bear a bit, Chef J is explaining to me his military career (thank you for your service!) and how he got into cooking before he is inviting me around the back to see the action of the kitchen. The smell of hot sugar and yeast coming from an oven, painting a glaze of a gooey cinnamon concoction on top of the twists baked just so, the perfect amount of flaky crust and mildly doughy center to make this twist Mid-westernly delish. We are consuming one right on the spot before we depart. Some lava cakes for good measure, we walk out with some items to enjoy at home and happy to have made the acquaintance of Chef J and Olivia. And those lava cakes.... Keep in the frig vs the counter and then pop in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds....incredible! Really delicious. The actual establishment is again not normally open, so I am appreciating this unicorn moment. There is no hot coffee option, music chiming in or even many places to sit. Nothing about this spot says "hang out/linger." Rumor has it that Chef J tried pizza for awhile and it just did not catch on. What I clearly know and the greater Praireton area does not....bakers make the best pizzas because the dough is always exceptional. But anyway.... I consider the Red Room Cakery and our unique moment to visit and buy some baked goods moment a big win and really enjoyed taking the trip over from Terre Haute. Chef J is celebrating 10 years of being in business this summer. I am on the look out during all visits now moving forward when in Terre Haute to see if the baked goods served at an eatery come from the Red Room Cakery. Because there they are a little bit delicious and a little bit Midwestern, which makes the perfect baked good in my eyes.

    This place is just a great experience and no other way to explain it. Walked in to be greeted and…read moreserved by the owner. Explained everything very well, since it was out first time there. Owner was very down to earth and honest with his suggestions. Also we got to sample a few things, so that's always a plus. We started by checking everything out, the inventory was low but still a few options. Sampled a couple of ice creams. Ended up getting a Muncher cup is what i think they were called. Two scoops of ice cream with a cupcake. Another member of our party got a muffin they enjoyed, then our last memeber got a single cupcake and drink. The owner gave us a brownie on the house too. Ended up eating inside and watching a little bit of a cooking show that was on. Along with chatting with the owner. All in all if you want a great environment and treat this is the place to go. Was updated that they will be serving beer and wine soon. Also at some point will be doing soups and sandwiches. I'm sure this business will do great if they keep up the good work!
