Despite my Pan Adder Diarrhea. Not to be confused with this Panaderia. So this is the pretty awesome Bakery inside the Midtown Global Market that used to be called El Mexicano and is now called Samantha. Either way it makes fantastic baked goods and is a really great destination for Mexican bakery stuff. This Market itself is a little bit busy and hipster and has a lot of international stuff that is a little overpriced and not always authentic but in this case it's very authentic and very cheap and probably honestly belongs over at the Mercado Central instead but considering that it's here instead of at the Central, it's actually making this place much better and I appreciate it being here.

This is the same Mexican bakery as the Mercado Central location. See my review here…read morehttp://www.yelp.com/biz/panaderia-el-mexicano-minneapolis#hrid:u1WviCa2Q6wT6T4CblEZJQ The Global Market one loses a star for having less of a variety of pastries to choose from. They gain their star back for always having fresh bolillo rolls and for doing a good job of showcasing their cakes. I buy tres leches cake for friends' birthdays here. You should definitely try it before you buy one (they do sell single slices) because not everybody likes it-- kind of a wet, spongy cake that is rich and sweet but very different from the dry, fluffy American style cakes that we are used to. They always look incredible with the ripe glazed fruit on top and are delicious to eat. I also really like this location because you can see the bakers at work. Once I saw the owner frosting a wedding cake and once I saw him decorating a few tres leches cakes at one time. It was very artistic and I thought it was cool that they put up glass so you can watch how it all happens. Smells wonderful too!

My interaction with Buttercream was short and sweet. I needed a cake for a birthday and my usual…read morebakery was booked. I placed the order, and picked up my cake a few days later! They did not offer much for customization options when it came to the cake, but it was fine given that they had about 4 days notice. I would order from them again if I need something in a pinch!

We were contracted with a venue that mandates we work with Buttercream but my experience with the…read moreowner literally put me in a panic attack. We arrived for our appointment and David was the only person in the shop. We sat down to do our trial and a customer duo came in. One who we assume knows David personally who was bringing her "out of town friend" (we later found out her friend is from Golden valley) to try out the cupcakes. David left us at the table and never came back for questions. We kept trying to signal him to come back as we had questions on if we could put certain fillings with certain cakes. My anxiety started to climb as he continued to ignore us for these two ladies purchasing 2 cupcakes. This was my first time ever being a bride and I am a baker since my grandmother taught me to bake when I was little. To say I was looking forward to picking out my wedding cake more than my wedding dress was accurate and yet here we were being completely ignored by David. After they had a long conversation about this and that David finally came back to us and asked what we wanted to do. My fiance stepped up and said we had a few questions. I then began to ask if we could pair the caramel with the white cake and Davids response was as if I was the dumbest person on the earth for not knowing you can not put it on white cake since it cant support it. We asked if the cookies and cream filling could be put on white cake and he just kept giving us answers as if we were wasting his time. Not treating us like we were going to purchase large cake for a wedding. I started to shut down since I started fearing asking any questions. He then started asking us if we wanted tiered or cupcakes and obviously I had questions about if pricing would look different and all that so my husband had to ask the questions. I ended up in tears unable to make a decision and hating my interaction with David and his lack of customer service. We walked out of there with myself in tears unsure what to do because David was absolutely the worst. We reached out to our venue/catering manager about the experience and she told us that should not have been what happened and told us we should try the st paul location and that she would ensure we have someone who is actually friendly to work with us. If we were not required to use this bakery after this experience, we would have not.

Every bite crumbled apart with zero moisture, making it nearly impossible to enjoy. The fruit filling? Don't be fooled. It wasn't fresh or flavorful--just a thin smear of what tasted like jarred jam. No richness, no real fruit texture, just a sugary afterthought pretending to be a filling. Visually, it looked decent, but the taste and texture told a different story. For the price, I expected something indulgent. Instead, I got a dry sponge with a sad center.

I attended a gnocchi-making class at Bakehouse and have very mixed feelings overall…read more First, the positives: the instructor was fantastic! Super friendly, great energy (especially for our quieter group), and did an awesome job making the class feel personalized for each person. She was passionate, knowledgeable, and gave a ton of really helpful tips. The final dish we made & tasted was delicious!!! 10/10! However, for $95 I expected a lot more. I haven't taken many cooking classes before, but I assumed we'd leave with leftovers or at least cook everything we made. Instead, I watched our raw gnocchi get thrown away rather than prepared, which was super sad to watch it get wasted and honestly disappointing. For nearly $100, it would've felt more worthwhile if the class included a more complete meal, like a simple salad, a piece of bread from their sister bakery, or even a glass of wine! The class itself was also very short. The recipe came together so quickly that we were in and out in about an hour, which didn't feel like enough of an experience for the cost. A few small improvements could go a long way, like adding an angled mirror (like in cooking shows/demos) so everyone can easily see what's happening in the pots instead of awkwardly taking turns leaning over a boiling pot. Overall, the chef and instruction were great, and I genuinely enjoyed the experience, but between the price, the short duration, and the lack of a full meal/no take-home component, it didn't quite feel worth it. I hope to see Bakehouse change a bit!

I was able to tell her what I wanted and then pick it up the morning of the party. The only reason I took one star off was because when I got home, the cake kind of split in the middle and it got ruined.

Other than that, it tasted great, looked great, and was a hit at the party.
