    Kathy has always provided wonderful food at her places. I will separate my review between food and…read moresweets. I don't fully understand the merger between Kathy and Spoonful of Sugar - but I'm glad it happened. Maybe Kathy does the hot food and the original person still does the bakery - I'm not sure. Before Kathy took over, I do recall Spoonful of Sugar being closed during court day and I had messaged them to ask when they would be open. Courtday is only the biggest tourist attraction in our area and as a local business you would think they would want to be open during the heaviest foot traffic of the entire year, but they responded they wanted to attend court day so they were going to be closed. I thought that was very strange. I hope with the new structure - they will be open during court days going forward. Food - I love Kathy's salads, breakfast, grouper fingers, and so much more. Literally everything I have had has been wonderful. She makes amazing homemade ranch dressing and beer cheese as well and you must try them both. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. The steak salad is amazing and I ask them to keep the fat on, cause that's the way I like it. The coleslaw is so creamy and delicious, I have purchased a large container to take home for dinner sides back when she was still at the country club. There are some breakfast sandwiches that you have to try! And I am not a big breakfast lover, but the croissants here are to die for. So buttery and soft - and then pile it high with ham, egg, and cheese - oh lord! Sweets - Before Kathy took over Spoonful of Sugar, I was never a fan of any of the sweets here. Sadly, I have to say that is still the case. I have tried nearly everything in the store, but have yet to find a sweet treat that I love here. Let me go into more detail: The mini pies - I attempted to purchase a mini butterscotch pie and when I got it home, it was a chocolate pie even though it was labeled as butterscotch. I tried it and wasn't crazy about it but I still wanted to try the butterscotch pie so I tried again. I was quite disappointed in the crust, it was very tough and you could not get a fork through it. The pie filling was just ok and the topping was just ok. Not something I would buy again. Cookies - I have tried several of the cookies on many occasions but each time the cookies are very crunchy. I know some people like crunchy cookies, but I am a soft and chewy kind of cookie girl. When I say soft - I mean SOFT like nearly falling apart and gooey. If you can hold it upright and it doesn't start to lean a little, then it simply isn't soft enough for my liking. I gave up trying to get a soft cookie after a few purchases and realized these cookies were just not my style. Chess bars - I love a good chess bar - but each time I tried these they seemed to be overcooked and slightly burned. Cupcakes.- ok, cupcakes are my absolute favorite thing. There used to be a wonderful place in town to get cupcakes called Swirlz and I was a regular there. When they went out of business I was hoping there would be some sort of collaboration because those were the most delicious cupcakes I've ever had in my life. I want to see creative flavors - chocolate peanut butter and butterfinger were my favorites. I'm not crazy about the cupcakes here, both the cake portion or the icing. I guess I keep comparing it to Swirlz and it doesn't compare in my opinion so I guess I'm disappointed in anything that doesn't come close to those. As you can see - I've tried the sweets on many occasions - but after so much disappointment for me I had to stop trying the sweets. I think a lot of people in town love them - but none of them seem to be my personal style that I like so unfortunately I can't find anything in the sweets area here for me.

    **Update: I received a very heartfelt message from the owner explaining their tough situation due…read moreto Covid, and asking that I please give them a chance to make this right..... in the end, all we want is to be heard and appreciated if we are choosing to spend our money and support a business- and after this message I felt both of those things. So, they may not have the rum cake I ordered, and they may be having some issues with their technology... but it seems like they have really delicious baked goods (according to other reviews), and they are working to solve the other problem. So, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.** I wish I had pictures to prove this..... but here is my experience. I placed an order for their rum cake ($45 for a Bundt cake). I did this through their website and it said it would be available to pick up at 11:50 a.m. I paid using their Squarespace website. I got a confirmation email, and was so excited because this is what my hubby wanted for his bday. I was just about to leave to pick it up at 1:15pm, when I got a call from the bakery saying "we don't know what your ordered, but you need to cancel the payment because we don't use our website. We only take orders over the phone or in person." What???? If you don't use it, why is it active? Turn it the eff off. It's very simple to do- I know bc I have used several Squarespace websites. This should be the end of my rant- but wait! It gets so much better! I proceeded to give them my order over the phone.... They told it would be ready in 30 minutes. I should have asked myself how they would bake a cake in 30 minutes- but, I'm a glutton for punishment.... And instead drove 30 minutes from my house to go get the desired rum cake. When I got there to pick it up- it was a 9" two layer cake with frosting. That is not a rum cake, nor is it what is pictured on their website! When I said, that isn't what I ordered- the response was "well, this is our rum cake". I left without the cake. And, now I have to contact my credit card company to dispute a charge that they claim they won't receive. Also- in case you're looking for quality, freshly made cakes..... they have 5 gallon buckets in their cooler at the front with long stem roses in them..... the buckets have labels on them that say "Sam's vanilla whipped icing". What a joke!

    Ok here's my updated review after we ate it. It was DELICIOUS! So moist and not too sweet. I truly…read moreloved the cake but I am still upset at the quality of my "custom" experience and lack there of on my cake. I was charged too much (more than regular off the shelf cake) and was given a less than customized product. I didn't appreciate her saying that the cake I chose from the Yelp picture was what they "used to do" but the picture was from 3 months ago. I have made future customers from everyone I had try it but I hope they don't receive a bad experience because I truly believe in this company and their product.
