When my nephew decided to get married he and his fiance were ready. They knew it was the right…read morething to do, so why wait? In planning the wedding in a short seven weeks and in an effort to limit expenses he and his bride chose to forego a wedding cake. Having planned my own wedding I knew how important a cake was and didn't want them to have any regrets. So the uncles decided we were going to surprise them with a cake. The thing is, we learned this little detail just two weeks before the wedding. I live in Los Angeles. The wedding was in Monticello, Wisconsin which presents some logistical issues on top of having just under two weeks to make a cake happen. After a quick Google search I found Sweet Street Bakery. Enter Julie Winkelman. I placed a call to Julie and explained the situation. She was excited to help us with the surprise wedding cake, despite the short notice. During our conversation I told Julie how I would like the cake to look and chose a traditional wedding cake for the top tier, lemon cake with raspberry filling for the middle tier and cappuccino fudge chocolate for the bottom tier. This was all to be covered with a beautiful white butter cream icing with piped scroll details to be slightly different on each tier with the a monogrammed letter L on the middle tier. Mind you, this was all done over the telephone without benefit photos, only the picture I had in my head. Julie and the staff knocked this out of the park. The cake exceeded all expectations, both in looks and in taste. It was just what I pictured in my head and everyone tier was moist and delicious. But most importantly, the bride and groom were truly surprised and overjoyed. The cake was the final detail to make their special day perfect. And as an added benefit, Julie told them to call her a couple weeks before their first anniversary and she would bake them a small cake to celebrate. Saying thank you doesn't express how much we all appreciate what Julie and her bakers did for our nephew and his bride on their wedding day. I highly recommend Sweet Street. (I am posting a photo of the cake. I provided the cake topper so if it seems large for the cake, that's on me.)

After visiting Galena many times, we finally made our way to the Galena Bakehouse and we FELL IN…read moreLOVE! We stopped by the first night to pickup some coffee, a chocolate chip cookie treat, and a box of macrons to go. The shop is absolutely adorable from entrance to exit! Even before entering we loved the adorable building with perfect blue paint with white trim on the red brick. The building is well maintained and clean. While it is small, they keep the space streamlined and open. The baked good window, the sweet treats fridge, and coffee/tea areas are all distinct with their own personalities and delicious displays. On top of the clean and inviting space, prices were reasonable for such high quality products and staff were friendly and inviting. The line can sometimes be long, but it is worth the wait. Lots to love here! Back to the food, the chocolate chip cookie didn't make it far. We ate it right outside and loved every decadent bite. The cold brew was refreshing and tasty. We ate the macrons throughout the day and loved every bite! My favorites were the lemon and pistachio. My husband's favorites were the vanilla and birthday cake. The flavors were very prominent and delicious. Yum! Our final day, we wanted to try the breakfast! While I got ready at the Airbnb, my husband went to get the 2 Empanada Meal that comes with a fruit cup. We also got cold brew coffee and a Chipa. Everything was so scrumptious and fresh! The fruit cup was a perfect healthy pair to the baked goods. The empanadas were both great. We tried the "Egg, Sausage, & Cheddar" and "Egg White, Tomato, Basil, Spinach & Parmesan" empanadas. Both were great and we couldn't pick a favorite. We were glad we got both. The chipa was also so good...unlike anything we've had before. Per their website, it is a "Savory Cheese Biscuit made with tapioca flour, Cheddar cheese, & Parmesan cheese. Gluten Free." If you have never tried a Chipa, we would recommend it! And once again, the cold brew was perfect! Galena Bakehouse has won our hearts and tummies! We look forward to stopping by the next time we are in town!

There is a ton of variety from in-house decorated cookies, pastries, bars and cake slices available. The prices are great for a local fresh bakery. A dozen chocolate chip cookies baked the same day for $10? Yes, please! Neat-O's does custom orders for cakes and other baked items. They catered my niece's party with lots of sweet, frosted, buttery donuts that tasted so fresh and upscale for a reasonable price. There is usually only one staff member working but they always are polite and efficient. They close relatively early (2pm) so I'd consider it weekend spot unless you're off for the day. It's a smaller shop and there isn't much seating so it isn't a place I'd plan on bringing family to sit down. If you have 5 bucks in your pocket, pop in while you're hanging on the square and treat yourself to something sweet!
