Will NEVER order another cake from here, nor would I ever recommend them!…read more I apologize for the late review, but I just got back into reviewing. 2024 I was getting married. I wanted to support a local baker. When I sent the inspiration picture, I was told it was achievable. I don't mind a little artistic flair, but oh my..... the trees were PURPLE! The cake was in buttercream rather than fondant. All the decorations were falling off and I had to reapply them myself. When I reached out to Sara, the response was "I did buttercream to save you some money" and "I'm not a professional baker". Like WHAT!!! I paid over $400 for this shit cake. I would have been more than happy to pay whatever it would be to have my cake look halfway decent... I specifically asked the photographer NOT to photograph the cake. NEVER going back...

We've been using Sara as our "cake lady" since 2017. She met her at a wedding expo, then started…read moreordering birthday cakes and such from her. She ended up making 32 cakes for our wedding day as we had 30 cakes (1 on each table) and 2 cakes at our cake table. She was INCREDIBLE from start to finish. She has done SO many cakes and cookies and cupcakes for our friends and family. Her quality is perfection. She and her husband are very sweet and goofy - and we love ordering cakes from her! 10/10 would highly recommend to others.

PERMANENTLY CLOSED This place is really good, the only…read moreproblem is it is closed. Got bought by Kathy's pies in Cedar Rapids, now they restocked some of the gas stations in Marion with the original logo and iconography, however I would not pull up to the address listed here or the one online because you will show up to a house That still has the sign on it but there is no one inside, there's a for sale sign in the yard.

We're passing through Marion, IA for a day (to see a concert in Cedar Rapids) and found a great…read morecoffee shop, but missed out on its pastries. A quick Yelp search sent us to Kettel House. What a great find. Had apple and cherry turnovers and a cinnamon roll. All fresh and tasty! If you like quality, artisan baked goods (nothing against the glazed donut/cream filled donut crowd) this is the place to go in Marion. The folks behind the counter were super friendly and made us feel good about stopping by. Finding it threw me for a second, though. They are in a house in what looks like a normal housing neighborhood. The sign is under the eaves and it's set back front the sidewalk under a nice shade tree. If you don't see it at first, look again. You'll be glad you did.

Ann did an amazing job on our wedding cake. It looked and tasted amazing. Great communication. Ann…read moremade the whole process a breeze. We can't wait to order more in the future!

Ice cream was good, service sucked ass. Came in at 8:40 20 mins before closing. Had a short light…read morebrown hair with a witchy face take my order and slammed me the ice cream when she was done making it. Also was being rude while I ordered never had a smile on her face looked like she wanted to kill me. Cold stone was my favorite but now it's gotta move down to my 2nd favorite because of this incident. Sick.

Always good ice cream, maybe a little overpriced, but I think it's worth it for a special treat!read more

There are also multiple gluten free options, and the order ahead cheesecake worked well. While my waistline and wallet may not be thrilled, my tastebuds sure are.

This is a really fun place. I have tried just a few kinds/flavors of cheesecake they offer (and…read morethey offer many) and the cheesecakes have all been wonderful! The staff was so kind of stay open an extra 5 minutes so I could try a sample and make a purchase. They have full cheesecakes but I got a smaller size (mini) to go so I didn't over indulge.
