I looked through Yelp and found this bakery. While it doesn't have a lot of reviews, nor any recent ones, I decided to give it a shot. I called the number and was asked to text them info on what I was looking for, for how many people and the design of the cake. I gave her exactly what I needed via text and we set up a time to pick up. I did end up picking up the cake from a residential home and not at the business (which was a 40 min drive from me) but every minute of it was worth it since people raved over the cake. The cake was delicately moist and fluffy. The milk portion of the cake was well executed though we wish the cake was soaked in it a bit more, but we do like that the texture was still spongy and not mushy. The icing was nice and sweet and the added strawberries complemented the sweetness. I

We got a half sheet cake of her tres leches that was 1. beautifully decorated 2. Entirely light and airy (most lesser tres leches cakes are dense) and 3. Perfectly sweet but not too sweet (a difficult task when the materials are so sweet. She added fresh strawberries and took the time to add gold sugar on the top to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the recipients. I cannot say enough good things about this cake and this bakery. As an aside she arranged for me to pick it up after bakery hours and coached me about how to keep it fresh on the drive home and how long it would stay good while unrefrigerated. We will be back for every major family function and we will send as much business here as we can because Gaby is the real deal.

Let me start by saying, I like to support small businesses by buying my birthday cakes from there…read more Unfortunately, for how much you pay it feels like all of the love and effort goes into the frosting and not the cake. I ordered a marble cake, I was hoping that they would cut and layer the cake but instead you get two, unleveled cakes with more buttercream in between..... I was hoping they would at least level the cakes to allow for more layers, especially considering how high the cakes are. Because then the cakes could maintain some moisture. The details are pretty and they were able to execute the funny cake that we ordered. But only two layers and TONS of buttercream wasn't exactly the most delicious. The cake also seemed to be on the dry side. Unfortunately I've tried the Walmart heart cakes and now I see why many people are going that route.....

The BEST bakery in metro Atlanta!!!…read more Yanet's Bakery is an ultimate gem! The cakes are delicious and absolutely stunning. Customer service is hands down the best. You will not find more engaging service anywhere else. They will work with you on any design and make suggestions within your budget. The red velvet is one of the best I have ever tasted. All the fillings are freshly made. The cakes last a long time which is great after an event, and there might be leftovers. (if guests don't snatch up all the cake!) The bakery is beautiful and inviting and lots of free parking. I have booked 3 to 4 weeks in advance and my orders were always ready on time, as they are highly reliable. Even though they are 45 mins to an hour away, I never second guess ordering!

Opting out would have been a terrible mistake! I snagged a cup of the brownies with nuts and it was all the chewy gooey that I love about brownies. The chocolate was rich and the moisture of the overall brownie was just right. The vendors were appreciative of my purchase and very kind. I hope to see them at another outdoor event.

Oh I love it here at Neveria La Michoaca, I don't speak…read moreSpanish so I wasn't sure of many of the desserts and how they taste. The you lady behind the counter was although not helpful she was very pleasant, as it's not her job to teach me Spanish and I probably should already know what I want upon my arrival. I ordered the Fresas Con Crema, which seems to be strawberries and creme. The Fresas Con Crema was delicious with lots of fresh strawberries all through the cup. I also ordered a small guava ice cream cup for my granddaughter who loved every bite of her ice cream. The guava ice cream had a very nice taste to it. We enjoyed our treats. I will return again to try something else. I only wish the staff was a little friendlier about explaining the menu.

I LOVE to travel and because of this I have been fortunate to visit many great places. My main love…read moreof travel is for two reasons: A) for the scenery/architecture and B) for the culture/food. In my travels I've had the privilege of visiting Guatemala twice. I was blessed to have home-cooked meals by locals all throughout the city. Prior to visiting Guatemala I had no idea there were so many variations of Latin foods between Central-American cultures and it was there I had an eye-opening experience with tamales. Guatemalans make their tamales a lot different than the Mexican style tamales I was familiar with eating most of my life. Their tamales were a lot fatter and far moister than Mexican tamales and the masa is softer. I instantly fell in love with the difference, especially after having eaten many overcooked & hard Mexican tamales in my lifetime. So you can't imagine how delighted I was to discover the Salvadoran tamales here @ Star Bakery are similar to Guatemalan tamales. [ THE FOOD ] After my first taste I returned 3 days in a row because I just couldn't get enough of the amazing flavor! Moist, fluffy, flavorful masa wrapped around juicy & oh so tender chicken. The ladies here truly have magic in their fingers, because it's not just the softness of the masa. I hear chicken bouillon is traditional in seasoning the cornmeal used to make the masa, which would explain why it had such a satisfying aftertaste. I also enjoy their Carne Guisada and delicious Fresas con Crema, but was not a fan of the Baleadas. Something about it tasted sour, almost spoiled. My favorite combination is an order of their Corn Tamales paired with the Grilled Steak next door @ Villino's. I ate them together as if they were steak tamales. The two flavors combined are enough to inspire an epic happy dance! On my latest visit I tried the Pupusas after two other customers in line convinced me I needed this in my life. They both recommended the Chicharron con Queso but I was more interested in the Cameron con Queso, so I ordered one of each. Both were great, but that dang Chicharron was AHHHH-mazing and exploded with flavor! They were absolutely right! * Elote Tamales (5 stars) * Pollo Tamales (5 stars) * Carne Guisada (4.5 stars) * Fresas con Crema (5 stars) * Baleadas (1 star) I think I just got a bad one! * Cameron con Queso (4.5 stars) * Chicharron con Queso (5 stars) [ FINAL THOUGHT ] Take a drive to Plaza Las Americas, casually meander to the food court in the rear and treat yourself to some of the best chicken tamales north of Central America. But don't be in too much of a rush because they take a little time to prepare. If you've ever traveled South of Mexico and sampled these amazing tamales, I think you will agree with me on their authenticity and deliciousness. BUEN PROVECHO! 2022 / 82

I have been in love with these Rum cakes for years. I discovered them at the beginning of the last…read moredecade, when I owned a coffee shop. I would order one or two of these for special holidays and sell them by slice. I would have customers asking when I was going to be offering them again. When I was preparing my menu for this years holiday dinner with my cousins, I had a flashback to these cakes. Once I had closed my coffee shop, I guess I erased my mind of all my vendors. I had totally forgotten about them and when I checked to see if they were still around, I was glad to see they are still going strong. They offer four different levels of cake; Silver, Gold, Select and Reserve. I served my guest, Gold. It was so moist and flavorful. You can definitely taste the Rum, making your inner pirate happy. They do mail-order and if you live in the Atlanta metro area, you can make arrangements for pick-up. I was impressed with their customer service with my recent order. They were tracking my package from their end and called to let me know, that it may not make it. I told them, I had faith that it would and if it didn't I understood the pandemic. It arrived on the 24th and after the holiday, I received a thank-you e-mail with them stating they were glad my cake made it on time. It's personal touches like that, that make dealing with a small/local business worthwhile. Need a flavorful bundt cake for a party or special occasion? Give the Rum Cake Company a try. I apologize there is no picture of the actual cake out of the tin box. I plated it and by the time I returned to get a photo with my phone, a third was already gone.
