I have reached a point in life where I'm downright offended when I spend good money on mediocre…read moresweets. If I'm handing over my hard-earned dollars, I expect happiness. I expect joy. I expect a little dance from my tastebuds. And thankfully, that's exactly what I found at Art House Bakery. The first thing that struck me wasn't the cake--it was the woman behind the counter. I'm not sure if she was the owner or not, but she was an absolute delight. The kind of person who makes you feel genuinely welcome the second you walk through the door. Not customer-service nice. Truly happy-you're-here nice. While perusing the sweet treats, I noticed pa filled with assorted cake slices. She explained that they were made up of cakes that might not have been perfectly level, didn't quite meet their decorating standards, or were a day old. Friends... These containers were $5. FIVE. DOLLARS. Naturally, I bought two because I possess both common sense and a sweet tooth. One container had two vanilla slices and a chocolate slice. The other had vanilla and red velvet. I made it all the way to my car before my self-control failed me and I took a bite. YUM. The cake was moist, flavorful, and had that unmistakable made-from-scratch quality that separates good bakeries from grocery store cake pretending to be special. What impressed me even more was what happened afterward. I shared some with one of my daughters the next day, and by then the cake was at least three days old. It was still delicious. And that speaks volumes. Any bakery can impress you with a cake that came out of the oven six hours ago. A truly talented bakery produces cakes that maintain their texture, flavor, and integrity days later. Eventually the whole family sampled pieces, and every single person agreed: this place is fantastic. Between the warm welcome, the incredible value, and cake that made me question whether I should have purchased a third container, Art House Bakery absolutely won me over. I'm thrilled to know there's a spot in New Braunfels ready to handle my sweet tooth whenever the need arises. And if Marie Antoinette would have said, "Let them eat cake," and meant Art House Bakery, it might have ben forgivable.

Furthermore, the final cake looked absolutely nothing like the photos Communication was incredibly disorganized.

She also called to ask if we needed delivery, which was also already paid for in advance. When I addressed these issues, she was very rude and tried to blame the mistakes on graduation week--which is completely unacceptable given that I booked and paid well in advance.

It has taken me 2 weeks to compose & write this review From my interaction with Rhonda, she was…read morebubbly & pleasant to get my business. I paid 50.00 tasting fee for flavors not on her popular list, OK whatever. I sent her a picture of her advertised cake & clarified after contract, the inches didnt look like they matched her picture by cake Scale size from picture so I sent a picture make sure we talking same scale & comparison but cake was way way Smaller upon delivery, I mention this and she tries tell me size is correct. We are setting up reception hall so What can I do but roll with it. Wedding cake quoted was $450, I get contract and it doesnt include flowers, then I learn it wont be real flowers or editable flowers (she say it would be too heavy) ok. I had pay paid an additional $140 for silk flowers. But, The flowers were not in color scheme of wedding. I told Rhonda the color in picture would work fine & I also emailed over some of the colors. Ok agian, let me get over that. I ordered a groomsmen cake as his military retirement cake, an additional $200. it looked nice but after Rhonda came and set up cake a piece had fallen off, our ceremony was only 30 minute; it was the flag part of military cake ceremony was over part of the cake. Ok, another thing but I'm trying roll with it. I sent Rhonda quick text like hey What to do & This is where it starts go downhill: Her Response: "Have a server put it back on or Throw it away" It's a flag on a designed military cake, They tried secure it with few tooth picks but fondant thick so didn't work. I said Rhonda, It will be bad for photo Ops, she said, Photography already took pics when I was setting up, Ummm we weren't in those pictures, we werent formal then, it was setup, rehearsal and walk thrus so missed photo op with us in a finished cake. Ok, let me focus bavk on ceremony. Yeah, its cake cutting time of the actual wedding cake, Unfortunately it was difficult to cut the cake, we moved over thinking we must be on a riser (that connects the cake) No, moved over and the Other part was also hard to cut, we finally got a slice and when pulled cake out, it just fell apart. I sent Rhonda pictures of the crumbled $650 cake + the video when the audience went "Awww" at the 2nd slice cake cutting attempt, I then sent her video clip when 1 of the audience guests said "What type of cake is that." The cake was falling apart. Rhonda said, it must be knife. I sent her closeup pic & said its a cake knife with the cake server. She then said, why u didn't have the server cut the cake. I looked at the phone... Aren't the Bridal couple the one who does the 1st cut and that is where problem lies. Rhonda then said, I can't be at your entire event to watch your cake & your contract says, I'm not responsible after I leave. I'm beyond floored & disappointed because, if im sending you real time proof of our experience on a product I paid 50+450+140+200=$840.00 Next words would be What you said Couture Wedding Cakes New Braunfels, TX where I paid money upfront for, didn't say, my final product would fall apart, be hard to cut, then crumble and collapse!! It was alot of cake left, I threw out big chunks of 3 of the tiers. I was embarrassed, disappointed & hurt. The hurt part came in after reaching out to Rhonda & she did say I apologize but then followed that when basically it's my cake knife fault or User error. I said, very kindly, Rhonda I would like some form of compensation recovering some money back. NEVER heard from Cakes Couture I want do good business with people, who Stand by a product. I didn't ask for a full refund, She basically disappeared after. I communicated the issues. Again, this has really upset me becuz, She started out Great & then we bought into the I come to you, I will offer an anniversary cake free, which we are not going back for Do formal business where it will matter most with a company Who will work to make it right & That wasn't my experience with Cakes Couture, for this I do not recommend (your big day is too important) Severely disappointed

Very disappointed. Cakes Couture was recommended to me by a party planner. After meeting at a…read morelocation for a tasting and talking about cake options with Rhonda, I ordered a tiered two layer cake with German chocolate as the top layer and Italian cream as the base layer. I requested a cream cheese icing on the Italian cream layer, specifically mentioning that I did not want a buttercream icing. I also asked that the German chocolate cake layer be infused with Kaluha by injecting some directly into the cake. Disappointingly, the WHOLE cake was iced in BUTTERCREAM. The Italian cream layer did not have any visual coconut or pecan pieces in the cake and the icing was not cream cheese. The German chocolate layer was not infused with enough Kaluha to taste in the cake and did not have a gooey coconut, toasted pecan icing. Neither cake layer represented the typical type I had requested. The cake was very small and barely fed the number of guests, 35, each getting a very small slice of only one flavor. The cake was paid for in advance. I initiated all contact throughout the process. A week before the event, I texted Rhonda to make sure she was still able to make the cake I had requested. She responded no problem. I feel Rhonda did not remember the cake I had ordered or did not care to provide it the way I requested. I am not able to replicate the special day I planned the cake for. I feel no care or consideration was given to provide the cake as I ordered. A friend also ordered and prepaid for a wedding cake and a grooms cake from Rhonda, 4 months before her event. The cakes were to be decorated with various brands. My friend sent Rhonda a picture representation of the cakes decorated as she wanted along with pictures of each brand and how she wanted them iced onto the cakes. The wedding cake she received on her wedding day had the images of the different brands she had sent individually cut out of printed paper into squares and attached directly to the cake with icing. Squares of paper with an image of a brand "glued" directly to the cake. The groom's cake did not have any brands iced onto the cake. The brands were iced onto the serving plate. So unprofessional. There is no way either situation described can be redeemed, repaired or rectified. I do not recommend Cakes Couture and strongly discourage any one from using her services.

The bakery was founded in 1868; it is recognized as the oldest continuously operating bakery in Texas. Naegelin Bakery is located in downtown New Braunfels, which makes it convenient for sightseeing and picking items up to enjoy while engaging in local activities. The bakery has old-world charm...old school display cases and shelving along with the quintessential bakery smell. You are immediately drawn into the bakery web. Definitely an ole school bakery... Naegelin's is known for traditional German baked goods, including apple strudel, kolaches (both fruit and meat), German rye bread, and its iconic pink-frosted Lebkuchen cookies. According to bakery staff, many recipes are still based on formulas developed generations ago. I purchased apple strudel, oatmeal raisan cookies and a piece of cheesecake. All were good, however, the strudel was the standout. The bakery also offers a wide range of breads, cakes, doughnuts, and seasonal items, making it easy to find something regardless of taste or occasion.
