I didn't have specifics on what I wanted, I just knew I needed a paw patrol cake for my 4 year old daughter. I sent her some photos for inspiration and told her to "go for it". Cake turned out AMAZING. In design, AND flavor. Thanks, Jill! Will definitely be ordering from her again.

None of the other cake shops in Tahoe were returning my calls, but Jill picked up. She was kind, professional, and understood exactly how to bring my vision for the cake to life. Having visited quite a few bakeries over the years, I can say they all tend to have a similar overly sweet taste, but Jill's cakes and cupcakes struck a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. I'm genuinely blown away by the flavors she offers compared to the standard options around Tahoe. For any future cakes or cupcakes, she'll be my go-to. Thank you, Jill!

When we reached out and explained what we were looking for Adina immediately got back to us to discuss options and helped us find the perfect cake design for the party. She took the time to send us numerous options to choose from and helped us find just the right design. When it came to the actual cake and the flavor and frosting types she again gave us numerous options to choose from and helped us determine which would be the best for us. Pick up was an absolute breeze and the cake was perfectly boxed for the drive back to the party location. The cake was the centerpiece of the party and everyone was blown away by the absolute masterpiece the cake was. The cake too was absolutely delicious and the flavors were on point and nice and moist with an amazing frosting. Adina is someone who we will be recommending to everyone we know who is looking for a custom cake in the reno area.

Holy moly, she knocked his ELO cake out of the park!! This year we went with a different music group and had to brainstorm the design. She's so easy to work with! We put our thinking caps on and co-created. I ordered Duran Duran buttons and she masterfully attached them. Her ability to execute ideas is phenomenal. My kid was THRILLED with the cake! Edit: Duran Duran reposted my child's post on their social media account (stories) and commented! Aside from the aesthetics, her cakes are deelish! They're baked perfectly and exactly what we ordered. She's such a kind, accountable and FUN person...I'm excited to see what we create next year! We're grateful for you, Lori!!

This is the same kind of baker! She can take your dreams and turn them in to reality! Terry make unbelievable cakes. She once made her dad a cake that looked like a Nikon Camera. The waiter thought it was a real camera. She has made several cakes for us and even done a Nightmare before Christmas cupcakes for us. The cakes look amazing and are always wowed over. The cake itself is moist and delicious. She offers a variety of fillings such as lemon, raspberry, chocolate etc. My favorite is chocolate with raspberry filling. The outside of the cake is made from fondant and can be eaten. I am not a fan of fondant and therefore normally do not eat it. Terry is an independent baker who bakes from home. She has a book of pictures of cakes that she has made. But if you have an idea of what you want she can design a cake just for you. If you want a cake that will wow the crowd then this is the baker for you.

For full disclosure: I have been friends of Terry's mom for several years. That is how I found out about her cakes in the first place, besides having the opportunity to experience them at several friend's parties over the years. But her artistry and the level of yumminess has totally kept me a repeat customer. Those who don't already know and come to our parties always ask who made it and many have wanted her contact information for their future parties. Her cakes are THAT GOOD! They also have become a focal point in my decorating for our parties. They are a work of art. As you can tell... she can definitely work with non-traditional requests really well, too. My son loves having mash-up parties and those totally call for a cake of a "different" design. She listens to our general ideas and then soars with them. She also did an AMAZING job on the Invader Zim cake! I still get comments when people see the pictures on my facebook page and that was several years ago. I totally recommend her for your next party!

She was super friendly and quick to give me her opinion on what she likes best! I ended up getting a cannoli, an almond croissant and a lavender donut. My favorite was the lavender donut. It tasted so fresh and not too sweet! So yum! The cannoli was also so good! The croissant was a little dry for me, I prefer a softer fluffier croissant so I probably wouldn't order that again. They were on the more expensive side, so this will only be a place I stop for a fancy treat once in a while. But they were good and tasted like they were made with quality ingredients

We got a chocolate croissant (only decent thing I got, but don't compare it to an artisanal made croissant where it's a dark golden brown with flaky crispy buttery layers). Their "croissants" are more like anemic, soft, moist bread. Also, got a cheese Danish. Starbucks sells a better cheese Danish than this place. The Danish was dry and hard and the center filling looked like it was pre-made frozen and just placed on top of the Danish. Finally, the worst of the worst, I got a personal size dutch apple crumble pie. Now THIS looked like it was made from scratch and I had hopes for this one. However, I took a piece of the crumble topping and ate it. It had an unusual funny taste. Almost like it was made with lavender. Didn't taste quite right. Then, when I got back to my hotel, I really dug into it. It wasn't just the crumble that was off, but the entire pie tasted of rancid spoiled butter. I had to spit it out, it was horrible. I can't believe they would serve that. I don't know how old that thing was, but they need better quality control. The only people I could see giving this place 5 stars on the food, are locals. Tahoe is behind when it comes to quality high end artisanal pastries. I have yet to find a decent coffee shop. Their sign boasts "Voted Best in Tahoe", but you'll see that almost every spot here has the same sign, from ice cream shops to bakeries to whatever else because there's literally nothing here. If you're from a big city, don't come here. Service was pleasant. No complaints.

Not much to choose from, but they did have the lemon meringue that everyone was raving about and two kinds of apple pie. Over two hours until closing at 5pm on Saturday and the chairs were already flipped over on the tables as if they were closing/cleaning. The lady packed our order to go without asking, so I guess that was also a hint to not stick around. Onto the pie: it sure looked nice, but one bite was all I needed. I did take a second bite just to make sure my taste buds weren't playing tricks on me. The meringue was gummy, the crust was soggy. The lemon filling was ok, but did not compensate for the top and the bottom being almost inedible. I don't know if it was old, just bad, or both. This was honestly one of the worst lemon meringue pies I've ever had. We would have been better off getting a pie at the grocery store. We didn't dig into the apple pie yet, but after the lemon meringue, I don't have high hopes.
