The cakes taste so good here. Its been a place we got our cake for several years. The cakes are always good & moist not hard. You can order your cake and pay over the phone. You can place the order soon as you know or about the day before for a simple cake. Of course if you're wanted more of a detailed cake i would order way before. They have single cupcakes you can buy that are delicious also buying selected baking needs is offered such as cake boxes , pans, candles, cake toppers, etc.

I ordered 2 cakes for each of my kids. I called to cancel because we got Covid. The girl who answered talked to the owner Robert (bob) he said it was fine. We went in the next day to get the refund. They told me that they already started to making the cake this morning and can't refund they can only do $50 because of their lack of communication . And even tho bob said it was ok she said bob doesn't know what details go on cakes he doesn't know better. What kind of owner doesn't know anything about cakes. Then she said it's in our policy ( which was not posted up) which

Ordered a naked cake and it looked great. I provided the faux flowers and they arranged them perfectly. The cake was a little dry, but it was still good.

Ordered a birthday cake from here for the 4th time this year. We were regular customers up until 2018 then we stopped coming here until earlier this year. Our experiences this year were awesome, the cakes are always delicious and very well priced! This time we ordered a cake that feeds 15 people and were charged $75 (Photo of the cake we ordered is attached). I normally order cakes to feed 10 people, last time I ordered a Green Bay cake that fed 15 people and it was $40. We were told it was $15 extra for the white flowers, and pearls on the cake. We paid but not really sure why it was $75 and
