I should them pictures of the cake I fell I love with and told them it just needed to match my colors. I had bought a cake stand online and I felt comfortable enough to go back in one day to see if my cake would fit or look alright on it. Being a particular bride, I was able to trust them to get my cake there, set up, and everything else without a worry and that what I needed. I also had several birthdays at my wedding that night and they made individual cupcakes for them also. Over all it was perfect and one thing I was 100% happy with. Not to even mention how yummy it was!

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.

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.

There are several new boutique bakeries that have opened in the Alton area and they're good too, but when it comes to traditional baked goods and donuts, nothing beats Duke.

It's decadent cream wrapped in a flakey shell. I've branched out instead of getting my standard order and tried the Cinnamon Roll and Cheese Danish.

I would never suggest this business for anything, particularly a wedding. I ordered my wedding…read morecake through Ms. Davenport's business. I messaged her pictures of everything I was wanting and she indicated there were no problems with her completing my order of a cake, cake pops, several dozen cupcakes, and two dozen specialty cupcakes. Leading up to my wedding, I had no issues with Ms. Davenport. She was nice and very easy to work with. At our tasting in March, my mother and I explained in detail that we live in the country about ten minutes outside of town in Greenfield. We explained monument directions, and were clear that we lived in the country, on dirt roads. I was clear that I wanted that cake, and could she not do it, that was fine, but if she couldn't I would be going elsewhere. I had already had two previous bakers decline to make it, one because it was out of her skill set, and the other because he did not have the time to commit to making it. When I spoke to Ms. Davenport, she expressed no concern what so ever that she could complete the cake. I submitted the first half of my payment in March of 2017, and the second half was paid in full in June of 2017. She received the check on Wednesday, June 21, 2017, and it was cashed on Friday, June 23, 2017. My wedding was Saturday, June 24, 2017. She had cashed full payment of $1,720.00 a day before I ever received any product. On the day of the wedding, she messaged me at 2:15 p.m. telling me she was running late. She was supposed to deliver the cake at 2 pm. I told her no problem. At that point I was less than 2 hours before walking down the aisle, had my mind on bigger things, and figured a little late wasn't an issue. The ceremony was not until 4, and guests would not be arriving before 5. She lives 45 minutes from me, so I assumed there would be no problem with her arriving before my guests, even though she as running late. After the wedding, I realized several things. 1.) She did not arrive until well after my guests did. Two of my guests had to carry the cake in for her, as she brought a 5-tiered cake already assembled. She indicated in her message she was bringing someone to help her. 2.) The cake had visible cracks in the icing, it was leaning, multiple guests made comments that they were fearful that it would fall over because it was leaning so far, the decorations were visibly crooked, and there were two hairs found inside the cake while it was being cut. 3.) Ms. Davenport did not stay to help even out any of the cracks in the icing. She dropped it off, and left just as quickly, leaving my decorators to try and fix it. 4.) Ms. Davenport did not bring two dozen specialty cupcakes that were ordered. When asked, she indicated that she believed that the cake pops I had ordered were to replace the specialty cupcakes. The messages of our conversation of my order explicitly say differently. In fact, Ms. Davenport resent my order for clarification which included both the cake pops and the specialty cupcakes, and stated that she believed the cake pops would be a nice accent surrounding the specialty cupcakes. A side by side picture of the cake I received in comparison to the cake I requested shows that they are nothing alike. When I inquired about the missing specialty cupcakes and if I would be reimbursed for not receiving them, she indicated I actually owed her $24 because the cake pops were more expensive than the specialty cupcakes, but she was not worried about it. When my mother spoke to Ms. Davenport, she indicated that I was at fault for the mishaps. She stated that she was supposed to have the full payment by the Monday before the wedding, and she didn't receive it until Wednesday so she could not buy groceries and start in time. Additionally, she stated that the country roads cracked the cake, something we told her months in advance she would need to travel to get to our home. She brought the cake fully assembled and stated that she hurt her back. I am not the professional, I would have no way of knowing how heavy the cake would be or how many people would be needed to deliver it, but she should. She also indicated that we could send her a check for $20 because she was missing part of the cake equipment that was inside the cake to support it. At that point my mother told her she would not be receiving $20, but we were requesting half of our money back. I then messaged Michelle on two different occassions, explaining my disappointment in what we received and that it was nothing close to what she agreed to provide. She had never responded to any attempt I have made to discuss the situation since her last conversation over the phone with my mother. Included in my payment was also $25 for a replica of the top tier of my cake for my husband and I on our anniversary.
