I have had the privilege to order some custom cakes and not only is the cake extremely aesthetically pleasing, but also SO FREAKING GOOD! Talk about the perfect balance between fluffy, flavor, and decadent... Also, don't tell me I didn't warn you, ADDICTING! We had a friend's birthday and I ordered a 90s themed multi-layer cake. I chat with the owner and she is incredibly easy to work with! She made the vision come to life, and made it BETTER! I really appreciated her knowledge, clear communication, adaptability, and talent bcs she honestly popped off! I can tell she puts her heart into her work, because the details were so intricate. I also wanted two flavors and we chose Limoncello and Caramel Macchiato. Thinking about it makes me drool lol. I've added pics of the cake! I highly recommend Destin Cakes for everything! Bridal showers, weddings, retirements, anniversaries, birthdays!

Lately, I haven't been that big on sweets. It has to be really special for me to be willing to use…read moreup my calories. But my husband had been here before and insisted I try something and OMG... EXCELLENT doesn't even begin to cover it. We had the Sticky Bun Croissant (topped with buttercream icing and a caramel-y, slightly hardened bottom) and--HELP JESUS. That thing is PHENOMENAL. Like... immediate silence once we started eating. We also grabbed a slice of the 15-layer chocolate cake (layers of cake, chocolate ganache, and chocolate mousse) and it was straight-up fantastic. Even the bottled drinks were great--I had a sparkling pink grapefruit drink that was really good. My husband previously had the carrot cake bread pudding and still talks about it like it changed his life. Everything... and I mean EVERYTHING we tasted was nothing short of amazing. We literally went back 20 minutes later to grab something to bring to my mother-in-love who lives in another state. That's how serious it was. They also have a few celebratory alcoholic beverages if you're grabbing items for a party, event, or special occasion. And they make beautiful baked goods for events too, so definitely check them out if you've got something coming up. Lady Ray's also offers tea parties! You do need to book in advance, but the setup was so intimate, elegant, and cute. I didn't take a photo of the party while it was happening, but I was genuinely impressed. Such a fun idea for a girlfriends' outing. And Lady Ray herself? Absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. Her friendly demeanor, great sense of humor, and service-oriented heart make you want to come back again and again. If you're anywhere near Lady Ray's, I highly recommend stopping by. Your taste buds will thank you.

The first course was a delicious earl grey with scones, the second was a chamomile tea with the tea sandwiches (YUM), and the third was either a cinnamon tea or a peppermint tea with all the sweets (I'm sure the variety may change over time). We were super full by the end and couldn't even finish half of all the goodies, so we got a to-go box to take the rest home. For the price ($38.99 per person) it was nice to get so much to eat and drink!

Busy little bakery that I've had my eye on during our Florida vacation. Finally heard my boyfriend…read moresay he wanted to go to a bakery and I knew just the place. 10/10, should have gone so much sooner than we did. My boyfriend said, and I quote, "the most perfect donut dough. Light, fluffy, perfection." His donuts & breakfast sandwich were everything he wanted and more. I personally got the cinnamon roll and I INHALED it. I'm not even a big cinnamon person and I've never finished a roll in one sitting before. Safe to say, we're obsessed. The business is also so cute and boho feeling. Plus they had cute hats, bracelets and incredibly soft sweatshirts for sale. We haven't even left the dinning room yet and my boyfriend's already talking about coming here again tomorrow.

What we did get was very good. The cake donuts melted in your mouth and had good flavor. On our second stop, they had a few more options, though I must say - they don't have the largest variety of donuts in general. It's a small shop, so it's not like they can pump out volumes of 50 different kinds of donuts. I get it, but it also can be disappointing if you're looking for something in particular. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Definitely new since I left home. I was interested. Ambiance was wonderful. A good amount of seating with each sitting spot feelings mildly secluded, which is nice. No one wants their coffee shop gossip being overheard. And when you walk in, you're first greeted with that classic glass case of available pastries and goodies. It was hard to not just order one of each item. Service was nice. It was counter service, and they bring your order right to your table. Can't ask for better service than that. Nice folks, good small talk. And the food, it was delightful. We got a couple of fancy coffee drinks, which were well-flavored, not too sweet, and the iced one was presented in a mason jar. Classic. We also shared like four food items. The pull-apart monkey bread was sweet and dense and delicious. Don't order this if you're alone. You'll need help to finish it. Got a creme filled pull pastry thing. That was nice. Flakes for days. This was no rough puff. For the chocolate croissant, also known as a pain au chocolat. Again, very flakey, very buttery, the perfect touch of sweet chocolate. And a savory, massive scone. Bacon and chives, I think. Also very good. Crumbly. Overall, I was very surprised. There certainly wasn't anywhere like this in Pensacola when I lived here. This place is a quality bakery that could easily be found in a medium-sized city. I was so pleased and will definitely come back.

Very nice. And the pastries themselves were very high quality. Flakey, not dry, well filled, of a good size. Definitely a high point. Cons: No real cons. I didn't have enough stomach space to try everything I wanted. Lol. Tips: The chocolate croissant and the creme filled thing we got were delicious. The scone was also good, but maybe less good than other things we left on the table. Need to come back here!

Another friend found some cupcakes and didn't want one of the flavors in the six pack. They were helpful and changed out that flavor for another. Customer service was nice. This place is pricy but I'd venture to say the treats here are better than what some of the restaurants serve for dessert so worth it.

We decided on a classic vanilla "leftover" cake that was one day past Halloween. The sprinkles didn't scream Halloween, so it was perfect for my grandmas 90th birthday because she LOVES sprinkles! It was 50% off and man this cake tasted like a $100 cake! You can tell this was made with Fresh and real ingredients! The icing was my FAVORITE! It had a smooth bite to it! And the cake, Y'all it was sooo moist! It was a large round 2 layer cake. We had tons of leftovers for 6 people. Served with birthday cake ice cream and my grandmother LOVED it!

Can someone please explain why Florida gets all the fun bakeries?!…read more My father-in-law surprised Jason with a birthday cake from Smallcakes after it came highly recommended, and now I completely understand why. Jason's grandparents have enjoyed their cupcakes before, so expectations were already pretty high... and somehow they still managed to exceed them. Jason requested a carrot cake for his birthday, and all his dad told Smallcakes was, "Carrot cake, golf theme." Smallcakes absolutely understood the assignment. This cake was GORGEOUS. Every little golf detail was so thoughtfully done, and it looked almost too good to eat! Seriously the sandpit and grass... just wow. (Keyword: almost.) Now let's talk about the icing... because I genuinely have not stopped thinking about it. Im SO picky with icing, I would happily eat it straight from the container with absolutely zero shame. It was rich without being overly sweet, perfectly smooth, and somehow managed to make an already incredible carrot cake even better. Every bite was moist, flavorful, and downright dangerous. (Side note pull out of fridge a little before eating). We're honestly a little heartbroken we're only visiting because I had every intention of trying half the cupcake display too. Unfortunately, we still have a mountain of birthday cake left. ...Then again, challenge accepted. If you're anywhere near Pensacola and need a cake for a birthday, celebration, or just because it's Tuesday and life is hard (which would be me at least 2x a week) do yourself a favor and stop by Smallcakes. Our birthday boy couldn't have asked for a more perfect cake!
