This wonderful boutique bakery is located on Main Street in the historic district of Middletown,…read moreand is housed in a building that is over 100 years old (it used to house a bank). The bakery is co-owned by a local mother-daughter team! They make beautiful wedding cakes (a couple were there doing cake testings and creating their desired cake while we visited). The cake and frosting options looked amazing. In addition to wedding cakes they take orders for cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and a variety of pastries. Orders can be made in person or online. There are delightful servings of pastries (macaroons, cinnamon rolls, scones, tarts, cake slices and more) for sale in the shop. They also serve coffee, hot chocolate and cold drinks. My husband and I shared a slice of carrot cake and it was so moist and delicious. It was reminiscent of my grandmother's carrot cake that I enjoyed years ago. I suggest going early for the best selection, they sell out quickly! There are several seating areas if one chooses to eat in the shop and the space is decorated simply and elegantly. The baked goods take center stage! In addition, the bakery offers workshops and classes about cake decorating and more. Classes are offered for beginner level and for those with more experience. The space can be rented for bridal showers, baby showers and other events. The bakery is open Thur, Fri, and Sat (There are Tues and Wed hours available for pre-order pick up). Do yourself a favor, experience this wonderful bakery!

And along with being a treat to look at, they're a treat to eat as well. I've gotten the opportunity on a few occasions, most recently at Bernheim Forest's ColorFest. I was impressed by first the creativity. Love the paint-your-own cookie kits, which include a white iced cookie and a sheet with edible watercolor paints. And to eat, I got one of the chocolate chip cookies. This was sweet, soft, chewy -- everything I want in this classic cookie. If you see Baked out and about or if you need some beautiful cookies made for a special occasion -- or even a not-so-special occasion too; they're good for all -- I highly recommend Baked.

Next time I'm going to couple my cherry shaved ice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We walked in when no one was in line and three ladies were behind the counter, ready to take care of us. They have several tables outside, most covered to avoid sun or rain. Despite serving such a sticky product the tables felt decently clean for an outdoor space. Plenty of parking for those coming and going.

I loved the way the pistachio cream on the inside leaked out as I was eating away. The chef was so patient with me as I ordered my food, as I had to make a choice. My daughter went with the Dubai strawberry cup. I thoroughly enjoyed my dish, however she wasn't a fan of the Dubai cup. I knew she wouldn't be! She likes melted chocolate and the chocolate on these strawberries was already hardened. As always the asthetics of this place is wonderful. It is full of soft pink colors and flowers, truly picture worthy. I can't wait to return to see what other new items they have on display.

I ordered 4 dozen cupcakes which I asked Gloria to ship to me all the way in Texas. Even though…read moreGloria doesn't usually ship, she went through a lot of trouble to get all the supplies and work with UPS before actually shipping them out. These were by far the BEST cupcakes I have ever had in my life. No overstatement. I'm usually one who doesn't like much icing on treats - I could eat these icings with a spoons. I am down to just 2 cupcakes left and I'm already getting sad that I won't be able to eat anymore pretty soon. If you want a life changing cupcake or cake - you need to try GT Treats. Gloria's scratch made signature recipes will forever make all other cakes and cupcakes obsolete. They are THAT special. Thank you so much, Gloria!

No one has ever liked what they've gotten there." Great question. Everything my coworkers and I have gotten has been underwhelming. The cookies haven't had much flavor and all of the sandwiches we've gotten have been dry and tasteless. One reviewer said it reminded them of packed lunches when they were a kid, and I agree: standard bread with some plain lunch meat. Also the staff hasn't been overly friendly, which is something small businesses usually excel in.
