    Batman surprise cake!
    Kristin S.

    Darci was amazing to work with for our wedding cake! The initial tasting was great, she gave us so many options to choose from. After reviewing her website I found that she can do some incredible specialty cakes so I decided to surprise my husband with a Batman cake! We received so many compliments on it and it tasted wonderful! We'll be using her for any family party moving forward.

    Amazing and delicious cake!
    Stephanie S.

    Darci is absolutely fantastic to work with - professional, kind, communicative, and so talented! The cake looked beautiful and tasted just as good. Highly recommend!!

    a wedding cake on a table

    Our daughter got married last Sat. (Oct. 24, 2020), and we used Simply Sweet as the baker. At the cake testing last summer, her cakes were moist and not overly sweet, and we liked that. They had a lot of flavor. Darci has a nice display of cakes and as well as a book to help choose icing types, etc. She is very sweet and accommodating. We had the cake delivered and rented a beautiful cake stand that made the presentation simply lovely! The cake was indeed moist, decorated just as we had asked, full of flavor, and had 3 flavors per the 3 tiers which fed 50. We loved the buttercream frosting - tasty but not too sickening sweet like so many I've had. Our top layer was a chocolate with ganache filling. The next down was the lemon with raspberry mousse filling, and the bottom was a chocolate with an amaretto buttercream. The outside was a white buttercream. I was impressed with the chocolate that actually had a cocoa flavor! I've had chocolate cakes with no flavor at all, and this one had a great flavor. The lemon cake was incredible. Chocolate is my personal favorite, but the lemon was equally up there this time. I saw all the great reviews on Yelp, and I agree with them. Darci has a wonderful talent in baking and decorating, and we couldn't have been more pleased!

    Darci is the consummate professional. Her cakes are gorgeous and delicious. Her cake was the star of the show at our wedding reception with it's gold edged fondant and flowers to match our table arrangements. Donut walls and cupcakes are in fashion right now but a beautifully crafted and perfectly execute wedding cake will never be passe.

    My wedding cake was not only beautiful, it was delicious. Thank you Darci for making my dream wedding cake come true! My now husband does not have a sweet tooth at all, but once he tasted it, he took a whole piece and was floored by how delicious it was. All my guests raved about my cake. And Darci is simply delightful- she was super agreeable when I had to change my date and so sweet through the whole process. I loved how excited she was to make my cake. Thank you!

    Simply.sweet and absolutey gorgeous!

    Darci did an amazing job on my wedding cake! She worked with me on getting the right design and details perfect. She was such a pleasure to work with. When I saw my cake in person it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. It also tasted delicious, her fillings are to die for! I would highly recommend her for wedding cakes.

    The beautiful wedding cake Darci made.
    Victoria K.

    Darci did my wedding cake and it was delicious and beautiful!!!! Fairy tale come true. I still crave the cake she makes all the time. It's so moist and flavorful and wonderful. Best baker in the world!!

    Ashley was wonderful to work with from start to finish for our wedding cake…read more Communication was easy, and our tasting was one of the highlights of wedding planning. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. On the wedding day, the cake itself was moist, flavorful, and exactly what we had hoped for. There was a small issue during transportation that affected part of the cake. What impressed me most was how Ashley handled it. She immediately took ownership of the situation and went above and beyond to make it right. She even offered to drive back to her bakery to bring us additional desserts and offered multiple solutions to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The desserts were incredible, and her customer service was even better. She truly cared about making sure we were happy, and that meant so much to us. I would absolutely recommend her.

None of the dinner options were quite what I was feeling, so I just decided to do dessert for dinner, lol. Unfortunately it was close to closing so what I considered their more interesting flavors were sold out. I ended up getting the Drama Queen - a chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream that happens to come in 3 colors. $6 felt a smidge expensive for such a basic cupcake, but it was good.

I side is clean and it is well stocked with cupcakes. The difference, today I had a cupcake that tasted old and dry. My first experience they were light, fluffy, fresh, and moist. Not sure what happened today but I'm going to trust it was just a fluke based on how good all my cupcakes were on Saturday! We got a chantilly- BOMB, a double chocolate- DECADENT, and a half baked with cookie dough- BEYOND! I will be back!

    I've been here twice in the last month bc I had a BOGO deal both times. It's a great deal,…read moreespecially in this economy. I love how moist their cakes are. I love the Red Velvet and Raspberry Lemon, it's their best flavors in my opinion. I like the convenience of ordering online, but they do charge a small service fee. You can use the deals in-person and online. Customer service is always on point. Everyone is always welcoming and polite. It was the day before Father's Day, so it was a little busy. They are closed on Father's Day, which I had no idea until I walked up to their sign on the door. It's always nice and clean inside. I would definitely recommend these Bundlets for when there is a deal. Take their surveys and they email you another deal.

I made the trek into town and got a front row spot. There was a customer ahead of me, which I didn't mind as it gave me time to look over what they had to offer. Another employee popped her head out to help, but I told her I wasn't ready. She slipped away and came back just in time to take my order. I asked her recommendation of the s'mores vs chocolate chocolate chip. She said hands down a s'mores, so that is what I got. The shop was so cute and the perfect size. I enjoyed my s'mores bundt cake after dinner. The cake was so soft, the marshmallow frosting was the right amount of sweet, and the graham cracker crust provided just the right texture. Delicious!

    Los Ranchos Bakery - The inside is very comfortable and functional. And it's always fun to see which pastries they have near the cash register.

Friendly service and faces always warm up a cold morning, and we definitely got that at Los Ranchos Bakery. The menu is simple and the baked goods look great! We ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon and green chile cheddar bagel, a lavender latte, and a red chile mocha. A cherry tart and a cinnamon roll to go. The drinks were, unfortunately, missing a few ounces and flavor. The sandwiches were smaller than I expected. The bagel had a hint of heat and chile. It was perfectly toasted and held the egg and bacon quite well. The bacon was crispy and the egg was well done. It was filling in the end. The baked goods will have to wait until tonight but I've had their scones before and they were excellent! I'm betting on excellence on the tart and cinnamon roll. Overall, this is a nice local coffee shop that can be a great alternative to a chain coffee shop. The space is nice for some work or chatting with friends and family. Don't bet on the coffee, but definitely go for the baked goods!
