We found a little bit of heaven here in Raeford ! We came down for the weekend to visit our family who lives down here and they raved about Kayla Renée cakes and for us to meet them to grab a few delectable treats. Let me first start off by saying what a charming location and business. It is absolutely spotless, and the decorations really fit the business. My hat is tipped to the decorator. And the display cases of the various treats are absolutely inviting. The staff are so very friendly in a really exhibit that southern hospitality and welcoming you into the business. Could not ask for a better staff. I don't even know where to begin other than if you take a look at the pictures they have an amazing selection of cake, cheesecake, brownies, cupcakes, scones, and the list goes on and on ! I was like a kid in a candy store, I'll take one of these and take one of these and take one of these until I filled a box actually and I love my sweets and pastries. So I find something very unique and that is a peach cobbler type of cheesecake and I had to sit down and enjoy it in the shop and let me just tell you it was absolutely incredible and then I had to go back up and get a chocolate peanut butter, cupcake, and that was completely off the wall, incredible again. There are not too many of these type of businesses around anymore and it's nice to see that there is one offering such amazing selections of the various pastries and cakes and cupcakes, etc. Everything was done to perfection and with a very creative touch, and also I must not forget a loving touch of the passion that they have for baking. I would highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area and I didn't notice they are closed on Sunday and Monday. And they do specialize in making cakes, whether it be for a birthday or a wedding or a special event, I would definitely give them a call as I believe you cannot beat the quality and the love going into it. We look forward to stopping back on our next visit to Raeford. Thank you for some amazing pastries read more

We were visiting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson in Raeford, North Carolina this past weekend and they always talk about the bakery they go to, and we finally had a chance to go along. I can't say enough about this bakery! All of the employees were more than willing to answer all of the questions that we had about their different cakes, cookies, etc. The bakery is decorated very nicely and it's so quaint, such a nice feel to it. And most of all, their products are absolutely positively delicious. I had one of their oatmeal cream cookies that was so very delicious and my husband had the peach cobbler cheesecake, and that was also amazing. My husband took an assortment of goodies along with us to take back to Pennsylvania and he is still enjoying them. When we come back to visit again, this will definitely be a stop for us. read more

I usually buy from this place several times a week, but last week, I was refused a simple pickup order unless I paid over the phone, That's never been required before, [my husband picks up on his way home from work] Being told it was "policy" felt inconsistent, especially when unsold items are kept and sold the next day. And I only needed a 10-15 minute hold time. Disappointing experience from a local business I've tried to support. read more

LOVE Kayla Renee Cakes are mouth watering, eye catching and completely what I needed after my lunch today! Wish I could take this adorable Store back home with me to Ohio. The place reeked of "cute". Pink and white colors, beautiful dishes just lovely place! Will return on my next visit to see my son! read more

Kayla Renee Cakes - Had to have a bite of the oatmeal cream pie before getting in the car :) - Bakeries Near Me - Raeford, North Carolina

Some great pastries and coffee, my wife and I really enjoyed their nutella banana muffin. Lots of great options to choose from.

Honestly the best bakery for this area. We just love how friendly everyone is and the rotation of baked sweets. I wish I drank coffee because their coffee menu sounds delightful! They're in the middle of moving locations (but just across the street) so things are changing within the store. I recently said parking could be an issue but I've stopped by at different times and it honestly has been fine. Only issue is if there is an event downtown but you'd want to park out a bit anyways. But super excited to see what's to come! read more

From the site the picture do not do the sweets justice. What a cute little bakery and the staff super friendly - waiting in line to get in gives you how good their items are - from the homemade poptarts to the banana pudding cheese cake to the chocolate croissant and so on and sooo on I cannot begin to describe the delicious delectables they have it is a must stop if your anywhere in the area !!!! So stop by but look closely for the cute pink and white shop read more

Been going to get the baked treats since opening her first bakery, as of today's grand opening of her new bigger bakery across the street, she and her family done a super job as the new bakery is much bigger and able to display many, many more delicious goodies, treats as well as beverages hot and cold. The service from her team was amazing with the large amount of folks coming out and supporting this local business today. We got there at 10am and waited in line to two hours before we got in the shop. There was no shortage of anything after approximately 100 folks were in front of us. The interior decor was very eye catching as well as the Merch rack with shirts and hats for sale. Kayla and her family done a great job as she is very successful business women and a great assist to Hoke country. Cheers read more

A really great little local bakery! We went for fourth of july and tried a few treats. Her poptarts are absolutely incredible- especially if you warm it up at home! We tried some macarons, but were really disappointed with the bomb pop flavor. It was sweet, but didn't really taste like anything. We had a strawberry lemonade which was TOO sweet. We ended up mixing it half with water at home to make it drinkable. I wish they opened a bit earlier! read more

What can I say. On a trip to Main Street in raeford- we stopped in. Omg! The bakery was inviting and beautiful inside. The treats were beautiful and beautifully displayed. The butter cake was exceptional as well as my oatmeal cookie with cream in the middle-it reminded me of Back home. So to say the least I misbehaved today and bought some treats. We love our community and we always try to support local businesses. You must go by and visit- check out all the cupcakes, cakes and treats . Drink some coffee. Enjoy the ambiance. The people that work here are awesome as well. read more

WORTH THE DRIVE I am not sure what some of these folks are talking about when they refer to the "dry" or "very little taste". We ordered a Turtle cupcake, Piña Colada cupcake, as well as Cake Batter & Almond Sugar Cookie macarons. "DIVINE" is how I would describe each bite! every bite was better than the last! I'm just sad it's all gone now. But, we will definitely be back!! See y'all real soon! read more

We love Kayla Renee Cakes! We always pop-in to the shop whenever we're in Raeford, especially for our favorite the homemade oatmeal cream pies. Kayla recently made a cake for our friends' baby shower. The cake turned out better than the inspiration pic I sent in, and was delicious (lemon with a blueberry filling). We'll certainly be using her for all our future occasions! read more

I absolutely love this cute little bakery. The employees are always so sweet and helpful. They keep new things on the bar. I've never been in and seen a lot of the same items. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious. They even put little uplifting stickers on the coffee cups. This bakery has been such a wonderful addition to the town of Raeford. read more

OMG! I had the bakery make my granddaughter's birthday cake for her 3rd birthday and it was amazing. Not only was it good, she designed it just as the photo provided to her. Let's not talk about the prices. I will definitely be using Kayla Renee's Bakery for all my future baking needs! read more

Kayla Renee Cakes - Bakeries Near Me - Raeford, North Carolina

This place is a no for me. I was excited to have a local bakery and to be able to support a small business. The quality is just not there! I ordered a variety of things. The macarons shouldn't even be sold! They're hard, clumpy, very little taste, and they just are not the right consistency ($3 a piece). The pineapple upside down mini Bundt cake was nothing special. In fact, the cake was overdone and the pineapple under. The strawberry shortcake bowl seemed promising..it wasn't what it should be. I paid $8.50 for whip cream, strawberries, and the tiniest bit of cake. The prices are very unfair for the quality. Maybe it was because they're trying to keep up with the Mother's Day rush? Also, the employee helping me kept dropping products on the floor or counter. She wouldn't give them away, thank goodness, but it showed no care for the products sold. Only giving a 2 star for the idea of a bakery in town and a cute set up. read more

Amazing coffee& cupcakes with a wide variety that changes weekly! The cupcakes are 3.25 a piece and special cupcakes are 3.75 a piece. Amazing quality and well worth the price. Warm and welcoming environment with friendly and helpful staff! Always great conversations to be had here! read more

The new location is great with several tables. The decor reminds me of the cute shops in Hallmark movies. I got a custard tart with raspberries and a friend got the oatmeal pie cookie. We both were very impressed. I was surprised at the huge variety of sweets they had. I never visited the old shop because I thought it was only cakes. I definitely recommend it! read more

My daughter bought a birthday cake at this bakery. It was absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of frosting. She also bought pop tarts, cupcakes and macarons. They were all very delicious!! read more

Kayla has the best sweets in town!! We love how the menu rotates often and there is always so many yummy desserts to choose from. Definitely recommend!! read more

Yummy desserts. So many to choose from and lots of options. Staff and owner are wonderful.

I urge you to just walk I. the door, close your eyes and inhale. Smell the sweetness in the air, it feels like home. i have tried several things that were 10 out of 10. gave their Macaroom gift boxes to special people at Christmas. Downtown Raeford has recaptured the feel of strolling downtown and having precious quality shops. This little town has a big personality. read more

We were looking for hot chocolate yesterday - so glad you extended your hours for the holidays! We'll be back soon.

I'm SHOCKED by some of the low ratings on here. This place is absolutely amazing. Friendly staff, gorgeous space, community oriented, and thats just the location.. don't even get me started on how FANTASTIC the food is. I have been going here for over a year now. I buy random monthly treats, I have gotten a personal cake, personal cheesecake, and Pie here. The quality is perfection. The detail in each treat is special. I hope the town Raeford takes notes cause you can be local and proud of your city like this place. Honestly makes me so happy that I live in Raeford. This place is busy for a reason. For the negative reviews either it was a fluke or your standards are all over the place cause this place has been nothing but constant in their service, ambience, and food! read more

By far the best thing about downtown Raeford for me! Everything my family has bought from Kayla has been lights out! The shop gets busy on event days downtown but it's a must if you can make it. This past thanksgiving I ordered a pumpkin pie and a cheesecake and can say they stole the show!! My kids were a little bummed we couldn't stop in for a New Years weekend treat but excited to see what Kayla has in store for 2024! read more

This was my 1st visit here. Overall, the items I purchased were okay. I ordered snickerdoodle cookies and triple chocolate chip cookies, caramel apple macaroons, and pecan pie bars! First the good the items were all reasonable priced, customer service was good, the snicker-doodles were good as were the caramel apple macaroons. Now, the not so good. Responses to questions aren't answered in a timely manner, the pecan pie bars the crust wasn't sweet. I just ate the topping. The triple chocolate chip cookies were huge, but also hard! I was expecting chewy and moist! Don't think I'd buy these two items again, but I would give the bakery another chance. read more

Not sure about the negative reviews but I have been to this bakery several times and everything I have gotten has been amazing. I have a huge sweet tooth and I'm always trying to find the best bakery in the area... This one is def up there! Their menu changes ask the time so every time you go it's like a new experience The macaroons are to die for. I feel like that other review has to be fake because I would go buy those everyday if I could the cupcakes are literally the same size as any other cupcake place so not sure why someone would call them small. I love their redbull drinks as well, you can get sugar free or regular & add in flavors and I never knew I needed them in my life until now Go visit and support your local businesses! You wont regret it. read more

I got the oatmeal cookie sandwich. This baked good puts little Debbie to shame! SO DELICIOUS!! It was two cookies with a whipped cream in the center. I would highly recommend this! My daughter and I went a little crazy and got a bit of everything but the oatmeal cookie sandwich was my favorite. All was really good though. Priced perfectly at $4. read more

The sweets are awesome with a wide range of variety. The drinks are very custom and the barista is very friendly. Prices are competitive and in my honest opinion this is a place worth checking out at least once no matter the circumstances! read more

Saturday morning cinnamon rolls and pop tarts are the best way to start the fall season. Kayla did our daughter's first birthday cookies and cake. read more

The best!!!! Everything is delicious! Can't order wrong! My favorite is the oatmeal pies!

Girly pop. I don't want to judge off of my first experience, but whoever baked todays batch of cupcakes they were all over baked & dryer than a Popeyes biscuit. The buttercream was so sweet it was inedible. The shop is so cute but I just wanted to let y'all know todays batch was a mess!! :( read more

I'll give them a star for creativity but the execution wasn't there. First thing is: they have latex gloves. A lot of people have latex allergies and the fact that they're handling food with latex makes it not safe for those with a latex allergy. Personal opinion: latex gloves don't belong near food. That simple. I stopped in for their hocus pocus weekend. I had read the negative reviews on the cupcakes but figured I'd take a gamble. Not worth the 20 minute drive into Raeford nor the $8 spent for two cupcakes (caramel apple and Funfetti) and a cookie. The cookie is your basic chocolate chip and the cupcakes did in fact have some crunch to them like the reviews mentioned. I was hoping the caramel apple would be more like the caramel apple sucker that comes out during Halloween but it was a vanilla cupcake with an apple jelly core with caramel drizzle over green frosting. Like I said, creativity is there but execution is lacking. And unfortunately it doesn't matter what they look like if they don't taste good. read more

If you want something sweet and good then go here. The oatmeal cream pie is fricken awesome and the macadamia nut cookie is huge.

Every time I visit, the desert and coffee never disappoint! The service is also great with everyone I've meet being so sweet. I have also ordered an event cake from here and the whole process was smooth. read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this place. It's nice only if it's convenient to you. I just about tried everything on their menu and nothing is worth coming back for other than the cosmic brownie. I really tried to give this place multiple chances because I live in the area but honestly it's not worth it. The price just doesn't match the quality and quantity of the desserts. They are really tiny and it's a hit or miss on the quality sometimes it's dry and hard & other days its chewy and full of flavor. How ever it's a really cute inside read more

Pretty much, everything in that shop is delicious. From the cookies to cakes, just amazing!! Everything is homemade and the quality shows

We LOVE this place, especially on Saturday's when there are SINNAMON ROLLS (yes I said Cinnamon with an S), they are SINfully good. I wish she had the brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts more often, as they are my favorites. The staff there is always polite, friendly and helpful with any questions we may have. Only complaint is that sometimes the prices seem a little high but we get it. The location is great & the shop it really cute and convenient. We always recommend out of towners that visit us to go here during their stay. read more

Overpriced. Cupcakes and leftovers are left out on a rack all day and overnight. Cupcake icing is very crusty and the macarons are hard and crumbly. Oatmeal cream pies were falling apart. Customer service was great from the baristas. read more

nasty service the owner had an attitude and made my whole experience a nightmare . I'd rather have a Walmart cake than deal with these fools ever again in my life read more

This place is amazing! Everything I've ever had from here has been delicious. It's the cutest little bakery and just the best addition to downtown Raeford. My favorites are the oatmeal cream pie, pop tarts, and the variation of cupcakes. I would highly recommend! read more
