I didn't want to get them from a company such as publix and everyone was very glad I did! They were SO DELICIOUS, fresh, the photos and designs were excellent. I opted for them to be individually wrapped which was a an extra charge but great idea because people were able to take as a gift to enjoy at home. I placed the order online and submitted the photos, they emailed me and asked me some questions about it, set up a pick up date and time. When I arrived to pick them up I was confused since the sign said they weren't open yet however they were since I had scheduled an earlier pick up time and I appreciate it that! The inside ambiance was as your typical bakery shop, not too big, just enough to get your baked goods and head out. The price is very reasonable for their amazing work. I truly appreciated and will definitely recommend to all friends and family. I will come back in the future for cakes because if they are anything like their cookies then it will for sure be a hit. Thank you for the great job!

Custom sugar cookies, cupcakes, white chocolate raspberry smash cake, and cookies and creme cake! AMAZING!!!!

They might seem a bit pricey (i'll spend $25 easily on their specialty cookies and coffee) but it's worth the price IMO. Especially when you have places like crumbl cookie charging $5 for an underbaked cookie. The service is everything, every person I've ever dealt with here has been very welcoming and generally tend to remember us when we come in :) Make sure to get there pretty early, as they do tend to sell out of all the popular desserts and there's always open street parking in front of the shop in you go early :)

The chocolate middle was very good. Again, the prices are crazy and they want to up charge for everything. Which is ok, if you're having a special event and you're gonna do it right I don't mind paying for it but what really upset me is they didn't have any candles.. When we went to pick up the birthday cake they said they were out of candles. How do you then run to a store with a Cake in your car search searching for candles right before an event I think a store like that should have candles for their customers. Especially at those prices.

We have two different cupcakes for later but if they are even half as good we are in for a real treat. The family that owns it are amazing and are putting out products that are made with real love. The service is incredible and friendly. Everything in the shop from T-shirts to grass fed meats from the family farm are all laid out for the casual shopper and also shows the amazing quality they put into everything they sell. This is a place, we will be visiting a lot in the future. The store is only open Monday , Friday and sat so make sure to get there to help support a great business and a very awesome family.

Eli did a PHENOMINAL job on my wedding cake. She was recommended to us by a neighbor and I am so glad we went to visit her. I showed her a few pictures of what I wanted in different pieces and she created EXACTLY what I envisioned. The most important details to me was I wanted rose gold on the cake (which seemed hard enough to create) and I had to have sprinkles. I was so excited when she said she was able to do that and it turned out perfect with rose gold sprinkles! She really takes pride in her work and it shows. Everyone raved about how good the cake tasted with 2 flavors, champagne and chocolate ganache. It was AMAZING. We finished the cake by the next day. Guests said it was the best cake they ever had. Whatever it is you need a cake for, do not hesitate to see Eli. She will create exactly what your looking for and it will be beautiful. She really helped make my wedding day so special by creating something I will always remember. read more

I had a custom cake made by Eli on 2 separate occasions made without much notice. The design and outcome was even better than I hoped and the taste too! Everyone was so impressed and couldn't believe the detail and thought that went into it. I will definitely use Eli every time I need a cake for a special occasion. read more
