It's driving me nuts. Keep in mind the baker gives you a little 4 inch cake on your one year anniversary as part of the deal... She wants you to have a fresh, not one year freezer burn, cake to celebrate with. Well, for my three year anniversary I'm buying the wife a six inch cake and I hope this will put the I want more cake screams to rest.

I first discovered Ahmisa at Axis Natural Foods in Auburn, ME 'lo some years ago. I was trying to…read moreeat more vegan; the most difficult adjustment for me was trying to find egg and dairy-free sweets that both tasted good and didn't break the bank. Axis began carrying little two-bite cakes from Ahimsa (a local company), and everyone seemed to love them (read: they were so popular that Axis frequently ran out!). When I finally got to try one, I believe it was chocolate-peanut butter. And: IT. WAS. DELICIOUS. Unlike so many other vegan baked goods I had tried, it wasn't cardboard-y in either taste or texture; it was perfectly moist, unbelievably flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good. I had never thought something vegan could taste so sinfully delicious (Ahimsa is super proud of the fact that 90% of their returning customers aren't veg or veeg)! Since then, I had the privilege of working with Kristi (the baker and artist) on a project for my blog. She made me a beautiful german chocolate cake with the most delectable coconutty, bourbon-vanillay frosting I've ever had in my life (thinking about it now is making me drool a little... I could have probably eaten the stuff straight outta the container with a spoon). I didn't share a single bite, and to this day, I don't regret that decision at all! If you're searching for all-natural, organic, from-scratch cakes or cupcakes... look no further! If you're in need of an Ace of Cakes-style 3D-sculpted style cake... your search is over. Ahimsa (which means non-violence towards all living things) is absolutely the place for you. Do know: everything is made to order and you'll need to make an appointment, because Kristi works out of her state-licensed and inspected home kitchen (and just showing up at her house would be wildly rude and uncool!). Finally, should you get some cupcakes... let me know. Because, y'know, a dozen is too much for you to eat alone, and I'd be more than willing to help you :)

I will have to go back and try some other desserts or have him bring them to me next time he's down my neck of the woods. They have a great wide range of desserts to choose from and I guarantee you will be satisfied.

If not answering your phone and allowing your message to indicate a full mailbox for days is any indication of your business prowess, you are an amateur.

My wife and I planned an informal wedding reception which was intended to be a social gathering for…read moreour two families several months after we got married. We went with a non-traditional theme which included cupcakes a wedding topper cake for the dessert. We chose Grant's Bakery to do the topper cake and worked with Gary, one of their cake makers. Gary walked us through their process, portfolio and what options were available to us. He understood our theme and produced a white and gold themed topper cake which was spot on. My wife LOVED it and it. Unfortunately my wife and I were not able to have the cake for our wedding reception as we had to cancel due to a major incident impacting several of our Maine towns, but Gary was patient and willing to still make the cake despite their store being shut down for 2-3 days due to the incident. We pushed the due date for the cake to be ready, out a few days and when my wife picked it up, she LOVED it and complimented him several times on how he hit the theme with colors and the simplistic design. We were not looking for a large elaborate cake and despite the simple design, it exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Grant's Bakery for your wedding cake needs!

On my most recent visit the things I loved: *the service of course! *blueberry lemon cupcake. There aren't enough words to describe the deliciousness. The cupcake is filled with a blueberry compote (or something like that) and frosted with a lemon frosting. It's just amazing. AND if you keep it in the fridge and microwave it for 10 seconds, the filling warms up. YUM *maple frosted cinnamon roll. I've had their buns before but they definitely grew in size. Either plan to eat over 2 meals or share because it's ginormous If they ever have the ooey gooey banana bread cinnamon rolls, try it! So good

This is a real hit or miss local small business for me. On one hand, I've had some of the most…read moredelicious and creative sweet treats I've ever had from here. On the other hand, they've posted on social media to come try their newest fresh baked good, for me to drive over (I live two minutes away) and see a hand written sign on the door that says, be back in fifteen minutes. Forty minutes later, they still weren't back. I understand that we all have emergencies come up, but you need to take care of your customers and in those times, just play it safe and say you're closed for the day. After that incident, I don't go anymore, I have my friend grab me stuff when she goes, but it is good. Parking is fine, prices are okay, the vibe outside and inside is really cool. Give it a shot and hopefully you don't have a fluke. Really creative options.

SPüN does a lot of variety of custom order cakes and they're so nicely done. My first opportunity was my SO had actually ordered a green tea cake -- it was so good I couldn't stop shoveling the buttercream into my mouth. This year I opted for a Boston cream pic cupcake selection for the Boston cream pie lover in my life. The inside was a yellow cake base with the standard Boston cream in the middle and a hardened chocolate shell over cream on top. I made a special request for some lettering and they came packaged in a box that allowed for complete stability of the cakes. I accidentally left them out in a cold area prior to serving but they turned out totally fine! I would have normally done a regular Boston cream pie but circumstances made cupcakes an easier option. Will be trying the full cake next time. Definitely recommend if you're in the area -- ordering, customizing, payment, and pick up were all insanely easy.

#LocalAdventureChallenge: I'm just gonna come out and say it…read more.. THESE ARE THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE (So please ignore anything I've said stating otherwise that was written before this review was.) I had been warned that these were everything and more, and that still did not prepare me for how epic they were. They're the perfect balance of both dense and yet they melt-in-your-mouth; the "icing" (whatever notion you have of icing, throw it away because that's not what this is but a word hasn't been invented yet for whatever is going on with these buns) is sticky and creamy and has a little hint of citrus. And I am not sure I can never eat another cinnamon roll again, because these have spoiled me forever (I was swooning so much the first time we had them that my partner let me finish his as well!). Also: their frittata? I haven't had anything that good since living in Spain. Big, filling wedges of layered egg, potato, onion, and veggies. I'm hoping this will always be available vegetarian! Also; I ate it cold. And with my hands like it was a slice of pizza. That's the kind of monster I am, but it worked out deliciously! Spün you have IMMEDIATELY become one of my favorite food places in all of Maine. Can I make my holiday order for a half dozen cinnamon rolls and veggie frittata now?!
