    Wedding cake

    The best tasting is wedding cake ever! From the tasting, to the delivery, decorating and overall look, I loved our cake! We got the pistachio flavor and I have yet to find another pistachio flavored cake that tastes as good as this one. I recommend Tinker to everyone I know!

    Cameron did the fresh flowers on the cake as well - absolute perfection!

    Tinker's is the BEST cake shop in Lexington! Cameron is wonderful to work with and I could not be happier with the cake we received for our friends' wedding yesterday. From the start with the beautiful cake tasting, we were incredibly impressed with Cameron's professionalism and the options presented. He was very helpful with styrofoam cake shapes and sizes to demonstrate what the tier options are and what the finished cake size would be. He has lots of cake examples around the shop for inspiration and plenty of photos to look at. He also has several gorgeous cake stands available and bonus - a stand is included in the cake price! The tasting showcased lots of options and they were all delicious! We had the best time! Skip forward a few months and now it's the wedding day. Cameron showed up exactly on time, with the cake exactly as ordered. Such a relief to work with a true professional for such an important event! The floral designer left flowers for him to put on the cake and Cameron did a fantastic job - the finished product was gorgeous. But here is the best part - the cake was absolutely DELICIOUS! I LOVE cake and this was actually one of the best cakes I have ever had (and definitely the best wedding cake ever). The piece I had was tiramisu and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for something a little different and more sophisticated for their cake. And the frosting was incredible - it was light and airy and not too sweet. The entire thing was perfection. On top of all of that, the price was very reasonable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Tinker's and highly recommend them. I can't wait to have another opportunity to order a cake from them!

    For NYE, I stopped in to grab a few treats. The place was PACKED! I couldnt believe how many people…read morewere there, but the space was beautiful and service was impeccable as always. From the case, I ordered 3 cupcakes : carrot, red velvet, and strawberry mousse. All of them were fantastic! Not too much frosting, not overly sweet. Perfection. But the star of my order was the large pistachio raspberry macaron. OMGGGGGGG. There are no pictures because it was THAT good. Do yourself a favor and go right now! And if you see one, BUY IT IMMEDIATELY! No notes!

    I was really looking forward to trying European Delights Bakery, but unfortunately, this visit was…read moredisappointing. I ordered an individual slice and the cappuccino cup? Its chocolate/espresso mouse and vanilla, but the cake was dry and I couldn't taste any espresso or coffee flavor at all. I had a dirty chai latte and it was a lot sweeter than I expected granted I should have asked for it to be less sweet. The house coffee is on a little acidic side as well. Not the bitter chocolate notes of coffee. The many people are there to help but its a little chaotic ordering. I also think it would be helpful if they added signs or names for the individual cake slices, so customers know what they're choosing without having to ask. Overall, the experience didn't quite meet my expectations. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future, but this visit missed the mark for me.

    When I searched for bakeries nearby this popped up first. Since it was far from my destination I…read moredecided to stop by . I got there shortly after they opened and there was no other customers in the store so I had no wait time. They do have a sign which is posted with all that's available that day. That was super helpful as a first timer. The store itself is super cute with an open kitchen so you can see them preparing to bake . It made me smile to see they use kitchen aid stand mixers because I have one as well. The French toast cinnamon roll looked outstanding but I decided to go with a salted chocolate chip cookie which I have to say was phenomenal. As a home baker myself I'm really picky when it comes to baked goods . The lady at the counter was super friendly and patient with me while I decided what I wanted .

    I came here about a week ago on my way to campus as an end of semester treat and my goodness was it…read morean epic treat! This cinnamon roll was an absolute delight! It was soft, sweet, and had excellent filling and frosting! This cinnamon roll is a seasonal flavor, French toast - it is the same as their standard cinnamon roll but the frosting is maple syrup flavored cream cheese (genius and delicious!). The server was very nice and helpful and the ambiance is that of a a cute little bakery! I can't wait to come back again and try more of their treats!

The almond crossiant was everything it should be buttery, flaky, tasty. The almond filling was really good . As for the Mushroom and Brie crossiant its literally big enough to share if you pair it with fresh fruit or a side salad for brunch. My friend absolutely loved it and I had a small piece of it and again it was buttery and flaky as it should be. And as big as it was we both felt 6.50 was a reasonable price. The opera Cake was chocolatey and had a hint of coffee flavoring in it the filling was light and fluffy. Overall it was really good! Both my friend and I are European (she's from Germany and I'm Swiss and Spanish so we've eaten our fair share of European vs American bakery items. I have to say this was pretty close to what we've had in Europe. The woman at the counter was friendly and engaging. There was no line when I got there in the morning around 8:40 . I can see how on the weekends it gets busy there. The interior was really nice and looked comfortable. The bakery display cases were clean organized, good signage and well lit.
