Spaghetti and Meatballs cake. Beautiful and delicious!
Phil B.

We have had some cupcakes and now a cake from Gwendolyn Lee. The cake was in the shape of a pot of spaghetti and meatballs for our God Sons 19th Birthday. The cake itself was beautiful. This cake inside was moist and delicious. Our God Son happened to pick one of my favorite cake flavors without knowing ALMOND. I love almond extract in cakes and buttercream but some places can be heavy handed. This was the perfect amount. Beautiful cake and he was so happy. I think his Mom was even happier then he was and excited about the cake. We got hot chocolate bombs from our friends for christmas. I they were really good too.

As the sister and sister-n-law of these wonderful people I can honestly say there is no other place I'd go for my baked needs. Liz is an awesome baker and fabulous decorator. She has made some of the most beautiful, colorful, and meaningful cakes. The shop is very welcoming and friendly and everyone is treated like family.

Absolutely AMAZING work. They have amazing cakes/cupcakes with unique flavors. I got my graduation cake from them and was absolutely BLOWN away with the end result. They created a beautiful cake for me and I am beyond happy that I chose them for my special occasion!

a blue vw bus and some cookies

I was absolutely in love with the cookies I got from here!! I had just looked up a good place for custom cookies and this bakery popped up so I thought I would try it and I couldn't have been happier :)) They made the cutest "baby on board" themed cookies for a baby shower I had to host. They were very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely use again for future bakery needs!!

This spot is located in…read morefountain square, but Amelia's has grown over the years and they have a couple other locations too around the city. This one is good for grab and go, unless it's nice out and then you can enjoy seating located out front. Service is friendly here. The workers are always up to answering any of my questions. They told me the olive bread is only sold on Wednesdays. I've never had it, but it sounds good. The bread I love is the focaccia. They sell it in a square loaf for $5. I like to eat this bread plain, with cheese, or make a sandwich with it. I also purchased a chocolate croissant (I love me a good chocolate croissant) and it was so flaky, buttery, and filling, very delicious. I warmed it up a bit at home and enjoyed every bite of it. Ive had a coffee from here and it was good, coffee and bread is a great combination. To get here, you have to find street parking as they don't have a parking lot. I usually find a side street to park at that doesn't charge.

The owner was friendly, which made the experience feel even more welcoming. The space is also spacious, with large tables, plenty of seating, outdoor seating, and big windows that make the café feel bright and comfortable. I also thought the matcha here was pretty good. Overall, it's a cute and cozy place to sit, enjoy fresh pastries, and have a good drink.

I'd always heard terrific things about Kim's Kakery, Bakery, & Cafe, but I'd never really had the…read moreopportunity to try it out. Lo and behold, I was right next store getting hand controls put on a new vehicle. I looked over and saw Kim's, and I knew before the day was over I'd be making a visit. Located on Madison Avenue in what looks like an old Hardee's location, the outside doesn't begin to describe the deliciousness that's on the inside. I found a wheelchair ramp, wheeled over, and I'll admit as I entered I wasn't overly impressed. It looks and feels a little worn, however, the baked goods looked amazing and the young woman working was super friendly. So, I decided to give it a chance. I will admit that I have no idea why "cafe" is in the name as I didn't really see anything other than baked goods. However, I do believe in cake, cupcakes, cookies, and other baked goods as an entree so I was super good to go. There are multiple display cases with a wide variety of items. They seem to specialize in cakes, though I suppose I should call them Kakes, and they've got the awards to show for it. I opted for a couple of chocolate fudge cupcakes. They have both small and large. I opted for large because, well, they're cupcakes. My bill was, I believe, $7 and change. Great cupcakes at a fair price. These aren't quite the behemoth decadent things some "chains" tend to go for. These are real cupcakes at a real price (the small ones, if I remember right, were $1.50 - and definitely not more than $1.75. Amazing. The bakery is clean but simple. There's a handful of tables so you can enjoy your item in-house. I saw one cooler that seemed to have some drink items. Basically, this is a bakery. This is an awesome bakery. They do have some gluten-free options. I did not see doughnuts, and I don't see doughnuts on their website. So, do not go there for donuts. (That was my attempt at humor. I failed). Really, I was super pleased here. The ambience is super casual, but let that go - the baked goods are worth it. I'd definitely give Kim's Kakery a visit.

The moment you walk in, your taste buds come alive from the mouthwatering aroma of fresh baked treats. You can truly tell each pastry is handcrafted with care. They are large and perfect for sharing. I tried the pretzel caramel breakfast roll, which was the perfect balance of salty and sweet, along with a twisted cinnamon roll that was rich and buttery.The Chicago-style croissant dog was another standout, it was a good twist on the traditional Chicago dog. If you're planning a visit, pack your patience,especially on a Saturday because th wait time can be a couple of hours but it's absolutely worth the wait. Thursdays and Fridays tend to be less hectic, though the selection may be a bit smaller. I'm so glad I stuck it out for the two-hour wait,it was completely worth it.

I was able to get in line and get some pastries from Beurre Sec Pastry. These are French pastries…read morethat are even more beautiful in person than the pictures I've seen. Yes, these are quite a bit pricer that's for sure. People were buying one of everything in line. I was like wow! Some Items the combinations of flavors didn't appeal to me. I love tiramisu and pecan pie so I got them both. One suggestion I would have is to have utensils and napkins at the table for people to use. The pastries I bought are really temperature sensitive and need to be kept cold. Both had a cream - mousse inside. They wouldn't last long only a day or to the next. I loved the pecan item I ordered. It was great! The tiramisu one I wouldn't order again. The bottom flakey part was so bitter. I love coffee and expresso and tiramisu. But, the whole thing just wasn't what I thought it would taste like. Now I know. :-( Creamy, sweet, smooth, with a kick of coffee all come together to make a great tiramisu. This is what most people love about it. I don't know if they are planning on opening a store or not. The pop ups are doing well it seems. I will try other items whenever I can get to one of the pop ups.

Had the pleasure of trying Beurre Sec at a recent pop-up event! I took a few friends so we could…read moretry more of the pastries and I'm so thankful I did -- the line was wrapped around the corner 30 minutes before the event had started, and when it did, people were spilling out with BOXES of pastries. What went from ordering 1 pastry each turned into 8 total.. and we regret nothing. The Tiramisu Danish was exactly as I had hoped for! The bitter taste of espresso paired with the sweet mascarpone cream filling reminded me of the holidays when I would watch my mom make tiramisu for our family. While a lot of people prefer a sweeter espresso, I thought this was perfect and very true to a traditional tiramisu taste The Pear Kouglof reminded me of a fresh yeast donut that's been tossed in sugar This was a very kid-friendly pastry in taste and while I wasn't too blown away by it, it did make me wonder if I would have preferred it with a stronger, more potent, fruit. The Cherry Basque Cheesecake -- this pastry was the house favorite. The texture of this cheesecake was creamy, but somehow still spongey.. cakey, but more like pudding. Mix that with the juiciest sour cherries and the crunch of a biscoff crust.. mind blown was an understatement. We're looking forward to what Beurre Sec has planned for their next pop-up

I finally decided on the Breakfast Sandwich which was made on one of their house-made flaky, buttery croissants. The hot sandwich had City ham, bacon, egg and Gruyère cheese. It was decadent and delicious. My husband had a Potato and Fontinella cheese danish, which he devoured and enjoyed. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food was delivered quickly. I thought prices were reasonable. The dining area has a modern industrial vibe. There are tables or comfy seating if you want to kick back. There were several people sipping coffee and working in the small work space. Free WiFi is available. The outdoor patio looks inviting during warmer weather. We were able to find free street parking directly in front of the building. I highly recommend!!!! Easy 5 stars.

Other business that I were shopping around were not so responsive. Of course you can get a cheaper cake at places like Walmart, But their cakes are worth the price.

We searched all over the Indianapolis area and were turned down just by that request. Indy Cakes was happy to oblige once we provided a picture of what we wanted. They are located in a little dinky area but don't let that deter you! Our wedding cake, grooms cake, and the 150+ cake bites (a must have!) we ordered were phenomenal! I wasn't sure how things would turn out but they blew my expectations out of the water. And everything was so delicious, my guests are still raving about it. The only negatives throughout the whole process came in the communication. I think since they are fairly small it's hard to be in constant communication. But everything worked out for the best and we are so happy we chose them!
