Such a lovely bakery with so many delicious sweet treats! My kids and I stopped into KB Confections for the viral TikTok dot cake and also ordered a cupcake, and everything was absolutely delicious. The bakery itself is so cozy, welcoming, and charming, the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. The treats were fresh, beautifully decorated, and almost too pretty to eat. The TikTok dot cake definitely lived up to the hype! Such a fun little spot for dessert and coffee, and we'll definitely be back to try more goodies. read more

I finally had the chance to stop in to KB's! It's been on my list for years, just never made it that way at the right time. They post their Saturday specials every week and they always sound amazing, but this one especially lured me in. I stopped in late on a Saturday morning, expecting them to be sold out of some of their goodies. Not at all. The case was still stocked with beautiful pastries and sweets. I was helped immediately, even though there were about 5 people ahead of me. I was instantly swooning over the gorgeous cakes In The window and the charming decor. I honestly did not know they had a seating area, it was so cute! I said TO GO before I noticed the darling dining room. My transaction was swift and the girl was polite. I do wish there was a better parking solution. Lakewood, amirite? The apricot tart was fine Chocolate chip scone good Kalamata and feta scone was awesome ham Quiche was perfection. Crust was top notch and filling was set up expertly. I reheated it gently in the air fryer and this baby was exquisite. The portions were average and prices were competitive. These days, it is a treat to enjoy something local and homemade. It's always worth the cost to have the privilege of supporting a local business. I absolutely will return for more delights. The pastries were delicious and I highly recommend! read more

I've been going to the same bakery for special event cakes for years, but wanted to try somewhere with more trendy and consistent designs, since this was for a really special occasion! I browsed their website, which was super user friendly, and found a cake I really like. I called them (because you're not able to email them) and asked if the colors could be matched to the bridal shower invitation and if a few lemon slices could be added. They said yes, but were not able to give me a price. I thought that was weird but the girl seemed confused and maybe new, so I was just letting it go. I thought it would be about the same as the cake off the website. I came to pick up the cake and it was absolutely beautiful! So stunning! Everything I wanted! I went to go pay, and it was a lot more than I was anticipating, but what could I do! They have no handling instructions, so I treated it like the other bakery I've always ordered at. When I arrived at my house with the cake, I realized these two bakeries and their cakes are VERY different. I'm just to cakes having buttercream frosting, and them being refrigerated, which means the icing would be hard and wouldn't get easily messed up. I'm also used to the cakes fitting nicely into a sturdy box. However, at KB, the icing is soft whipped cream that will get destroyed even with the slightest touch. And the cake was on a doily, which made the cake slide all around in the box!!! And the box was so flimsy, you couldn't even carry the cake without damaging it. Needless to say, the half the cake was destroyed. I tried my best to fix the frosting at home. When it came time to eat the cake, it didn't even taste good either. Lacked a lot of flavor. And it was supposed to be a premium flavor: lemon curd !!! I'll be sticking to my other bakery from now on. Their lemon curd and butter cream are fabulous! And the boxes are sturdy. And transporting the cake is easy. The only thing KB did better was the beautiful decorating ! read more

We ordered a birthday cake for three friends and sisters, who carry the nickname, "The Cake Committee". We are very critical of cakes and anticipate our yearly cake selection. The decision of where we should purchase a cake is well thought out. This year we chose an almond cake with buttercream frosting from KB. It was amazing. The almond flavor was subtle, yet distinct. The buttercream; perfection. And the cake decoration was beautifully executed. We savored every morsel. read more

I ordered over 100 custom pastries (pearl themed) for a very important Board holiday party and they were not only gorgeous but also delicious! Our whole Board raved about them. They also came at such a fair price and Mackenzie and Karen's customer service was perfection. Thank you SO MUCH! read more

Adorably decorated bakery with incredible macarons! Pillow soft and all of the fillings are homemade - a very light and delicate without sacrificing flavor. Although I took my order to go this time, they do have ample seating which is nice considering they also serve breakfast items and coffee. The service was great too, the woman working at the register was so kind and helpful, and I will definitely be returning. read more

KB Confections is an absolutely delightful addition to Lakewood, Ohio. Their sweets and pastries are always fresh and delicious. Their employees are always friendly and helpful. The macarons are the best I've ever had, better than ones I've had in France. You can't go wrong with any of the items in the menu. The greenhouse area is a wonderful respite from the outside world , to have a beverage and something sweet. I can't recommend KB Confections enough!! read more

I actually have been a customer for years. My husband and I used them for cupcakes and a small cake for our wedding day back in 2016 and still use them to this day, like this past weekend for my birthday! Why do we keep going back? The amazing flavors, the GF and vegan options, and the wonderful staff that is personal and detail orientated. Highly recommend!! read more

We ordered our wedding cake through KB. We were very pleased with how it turned out. It was four tier with three different flavors. The owner met with us 2-3 times to discuss our cake. Their prices were very reasonable. Honestly this was the best chocolate cake I've probably ever had. We also got lemon crème/vanilla cake and strawberries & crème/vanilla cake, also delicious. But the chocolate cake was the deciding factor. Can't say enough. Would highly recommend! read more

What a disappointment! I read other reviews and couldn't wait to try there highly touted cupcakes and pastries. Well, much to my dismay, the cupcakes were dry and the icing was at least two inches tall. They were tasteless! I bought a variety as we had a couple over for dessert and they could choose which one they wanted. Priced at $2.95 each, I expected far better! NEVER AGAIN read more

Cupcakes were not too sweet. Icing is okay. Would want to come back to try macaron and maybe coffee

WATCH THE CLOCK! The greenhouse venue is beautiful and perfect for a party of about 35 people. Everything was very nice until it was soured upon checking out. Our event ended at 3:00 pm and we had completed cleaning up....everything was in great shape. A couple of guests that had come from hours out of town were still chatting as they waited for me to pay. I was quite stunned to be charged $62.50 for going over the 3:00 pm end time by a few minutes. When I questioned why they would do that, I was just told "its in the contract". That really left us feeling taken advantage of after already spending quite a bit for the rental. read more

So I tried multiple products from here for the first time on Valentine's Day. The cake pops were really good and moist and tasted like a better version of a Starbucks cake pop. The macaroons were also very good and came in different colors and shapes which I thought was cute. Unfortunately, we ordered 6 cupcakes and every single one of them was dry :( the frosting was flavorless as well and overall just really disappointing. I could see myself coming back to enjoy some of their other products but not the cupcakes. read more

This review is only from a customer service perspective. We never got far enough with KB to actually taste their product. Anyone who has seen my reviews knows that customer service is absolutely number one for me and I will never come back to KB after this first experience with 3 different types of contact. My boyfriend and I were planning a 60th surprise birthday party and we wanted to design a cake based off of photos we found online. This was our first attempt at something like this, so we are by no means experts on what's possible or how it's achieved, but we set out to work with an established bakery with beautiful cakes. KB is very close to us so we set out to work with them. Our first contact was in person when we stopped in to talk about the cake. The woman behind the counter immediately took out an order sheet and started writing down what we said we wanted. This was uncomfortable from the start because we were looking for a consultation, not an immediate order. It was clear she did now actually make the cakes, so she couldn't answer a lot of our questions. She did, however, note that our general idea made sense and she told us to email in a detailed description and photos. We were there maybe 10 minutes total. I sent a very detailed email noting everything we wanted and several reference photos. Almost a week had passed and I heard nothing so I called. The woman on the phone sounded very rushed and flustered when I called. I told her I sent an email and hadn't heard back so I wanted to check on the status. The first thing she said was "oh yeah I saw this and there were several answers to what you wanted butwe were so busy with the holidays.. but yea" then she proceeded to talk through my email like you'd talk something out with yourself. She'd say if you want this flavor, you definitely can't do this design. This cake is fondant and no one likes to eat fondant so we don't do fondant. She proceeded to talk through every element of my cake and tell me what wasn't going to work and what they don't do. Incredibly disheartening. Again, I know I'm not an expert, but there are hundreds of photos online of a design just like ours, so we knew it was possible. We moved on to another bakery but well over a week later I received an email in response to my initial lengthy email with references saying "sorry we missed this email". Clearly their organization is off because they didn't realize they already talked to me twice. You'll see in the attached email they are telling me more of what they can't do and rushing me to place an order if I want a cake done. When I sent an email saying we'd decided to go with another bakery because of our experience I got a one word response "perfect!" Just a deplorable customer service experience. We found a wonderful bakery, Michael Angelos in Broadview Heights, that completed our cake exactly how we asked for it. We ended up with a cassata bottom tier cake and a raspberry chocolate mousse top tier cake with fondant, butte and rhinestones. It was stunning. If you want a cake that looks EXACTLY like one already in their albums, I'm sure KB would be fine. They also have a stunning garden room space you can rent. We, however, will never be back. read more

I've loved KB since they opened. The shop owners are local and their customer service and product are amazing. Went in today for macarons and they were stunning! Not a single flavor was less than phenomenal. While you might flinch at the cost for their bakery, it is worth every penny. If you get a chance to grab a coffee and sit for a spell in the green house, do so! read more

Our first time trying KB confections and we were very pleased! We ordered a cake for my boyfriends moms birthday online and it turned out spectacular! It was a plain vanilla cake and we opted for the "flower" design. It was absolutely delicious and so glad we picked to get it from here. Will definitely be getting more celebratory cakes in the future. read more

Let me start by saying, I'm a bit of a cake fiend. I love making cake. I love watching other people make cake. And, most of all, I love eating cake (and other pastries). KB Confections Bake Shoppe off Detroit in Lakewood is definitely the place to go to satisfy your bakery cravings. The first time I came to the shop was right before closing on a Thursday. They already sold most of the goodies, but I managed to pick up a chocolate-dipped macaroon ($1.75) and an apricot bar ($2.50 or $2.75, can't remember), before also picking up a conversation with the owners. These people, who purport to be fourth-generation Lakewoodites, are the most amicable, job-loving bakers I've met in Ohio thus far. All of the goods are baked in the back, and they even offer a full service coffee bar and a line of original roast blends. They even let me try a sample on the house, which I later went back and bought a bag of ($10). The macaroon was delightfully toasty, with the perfect amount of almost-crunch and chocolate-to-cookie ratio. The apricot bar was well-portioned, with a buttery, crumbly base, a layer of creamy goodness, topped off with a slathering of apricot jam. A huge selling point for me is that these aren't overly sweet. A lot of bakeries add more sugar than needs to be there in order to mask other unsavory aspects of their designs. But KBCBS goodies are a delight, plain and simple. Enough sugar to satisfy a cake gourmand without throwing a diabetic into shock. My next visit, I brought a few more people with me. We ordered the chocolate-dipped pretzels ($1.00 for two), an M&M minis cookie (around $2.25), banana pudding ($4.00 for around a pint), a coconut bar (around $2.25 or $2.50) and a peanut butter dog treat (free). The owner remembered my name, and one of his daughter's, who help run the place (his wife is the K, and he's the B, in KB Confections), gave us samples of the banana pudding, which sealed the deal. Whipped layers of cream and pudding envelope banana chunks and generous portions of wafer cookies. The coconut bar, one of my new favorite desserts, featured a thin, marzipan-like strawberry shell wrapped around two layers of white cake and a smear of frosting - it's big enough to split for an after-meal snack, but I ate the whole thing. The place itself is well manicured, and an attached greenhouse is being renovated to offer more in-house seating. They offer water for dogs outside, and free treats inside (my dog loved it). And their coffee bar has some original finds, none of which I can remember right now, sadly. I haven't tried any of their cakes, which are currently sold whole, although the owner said she may consider by-the-slice purchases at a later date. They also offer cupcakes, muffins, brownies, strudels and more. If you're in Lakewood and need a smile, this is the place to find it. read more

This is a charming bakery on the near west side of Cleveland. The macarons were outstanding and the cupcakes delicious! I ordered a cake for my sister's birthday and anticipate being equally happy, as you have a choice of 2 different buttercreams - one for the crazy sweet tooth and one less so. It is hard to find buttercreams that our family enjoys but this is pretty darn nailing it. There is also a great atmosphere at the shoppe with coffee and tea available and lovely seating. The service was excellent and I love patronizing small, locally owned businesses! read more

Will definitely use them for other events. read more

I love this place! First off, in full disclosure... I know the owners and the staff. They are all genuine sweet people and as much as I love them, I wouldn't leave a review if their stuff wasn't good. Period. (Sorry). Now on to their baked goods... I'm gluten free so I'll stick to my experience with their gluten free offerings. Their gluten free cupcakes are the best I have ever had in Cleveland and anywhere I've been (I travel all over the country for work and have a wicked sweet tooth). The frosting isn't too sweet and it doesn't have the grittiness that some frostings do. It's spot on. The cake itself is moist and it stays together and it doesn't fall apart like crazy (like most gluten free baked goods do). Best of all it actually tastes like a normal cupcake. Hard to tell the difference. Can't recommend these enough! Make sure you order ahead as they make them to order. (Learned that one the hard way.) My favorite is their chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. The majority of their macarons are gluten free too and are out of this world delicious. My favorite is their salted caramel one and an almond joy one they had a couple weeks ago. They aren't dry and aren't crunchy like some bad ones I've had. I guess their flavors vary by week so stop up or call in if you're curious, but they generally have gf ones in the case. The atmosphere is peaceful depending on the hour of the day. There are also sometimes private parties in the greenhouse seating area so watch out for that if you are planning on having a seat to enjoy a goodie and some coffee. Either way, if you can't have gluten, this is your place to go for baked goods that are right on point with all the goodies that you may miss dearly. read more

Got another cake here recently. Not sure if they changed their recipe but this cake was amazing! It didn't dry out a bit and we picked it up the day before we had the party. Flavor was vanilla, no filling. Normally vanilla seems boring but this time many guests and myself enjoyed the cake. Artistry was top notch as well. read more

This is an inviting bakery, with friendly service. I look forward to seeing what more they have to offer in the future. They did an outstanding job on my son's themed birthday cakes with less than a week's notice. Everything was easy and as promised. Truly exceeded my expectations/ read more

KB Confections Bake Shoppe - Blackberry Caramel Bar and Hazelnut Latte. Sooo delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

I first discovered this wonderful bakery at Taste of lakewood. They were serving up Strawberry Shortcake parfaits. They had me hooked with one bite. I went back to them for a cake to celebrate my parent's anniversary. I gave them creative freedom on the design and they came through with an absolutely gorgeous white on white 8" round cake. Not only was it beautifully decorated my family couldn't stop raving about how delicious the cake was. The cake was moist and flavorful and topped with pillowy vanilla icing that was sweetened to perfection. Not only are they great with preorders they are a perfect place to stop in for a quick fix if you have a sweet tooth like I do. Cookies, cupcakes, whoopie pies, Oh my! I highly recommend this bake shop for some of best sweet treats in town. read more

Simply put, I have only the highest praise for this wonderful bakery and the sweet family that owns this business. Since discovering this gem of a bakery, we've ordered: - countless cupcakes: my favorites are the cannoli cupcakes. Awesome! - chocolate dipped cheesecakes - so very rich - salty caramel brownies - a beautifully decorated princess cake for my daughter's birthdays - a German chocolate cake - this was the only klunker in the bunch. Just too gooey. - 8" marble cake, beautifully decorated with a custom design -8 " cherry chip cake - who even knew about that kind of cake that was my husband's favorite growing up! - a zillion chubby scouts, like a Samoa on crack. Sooo amazing There are only a few things I haven't tried, but almost everything has been amazing! And they are priced very fairly as well. Someone complained about parking. Obviously, I'm a regular and have never had a problem finding a spot out front. There are 4 right in front of the shop. Honestly, though, I'd park around the corner for a bakery this good. It's definitely easier than getting a spot in little Italy for some of the other bakeries in town! read more

This is the best cake around. The cake is heavenly moist while the icing is the perfect balance of sweetness. They decorate their cakes beautifully too. I usually give a general theme or color scheme and they always exceed expectations with their creativity. We've gotten everyone in the family's cakes here pretty consistently for almost two years now-- it has come to be expected! Their cupcakes are also delicious. read more
