Amazing cake. The wedding cake is my favorite. Great spot in Valley Junction.

Super cute little shop serving up delicious cakes! We tried wedding cake, champagne and red velvet and all 3 were so good! Purchased a day early to be served at an elopement and it was perfect. Highly recommend

Walked in and immediately felt like a creepy environment. It’s dark inside and there’s a smell, not the smell of a bakery but that of an old and stale smell. I had ordered a pink cake with flowers - nothing else on it for my baby shower and I was surprised with a white cake with golden ball toppers and a couple flowers on the sides. Nothing what I had in mind. The owner saw how unhappy we were with the cake and didn’t try to do anything to fix it. Will not order again.

Picked up a variety of single serving cakes for my husband's birthday party. I took home a medley of champagne, chocolate mocha, and raspberry cakes. They were beautiful to look at and tasted incredible. Husband gave the champagne cake (his favorite) a very high rating and this has been uncommon! The bakery was cute and snuggled in the heart of Valley Junction. Excellent customer service (the owner helped me) and the prices were competitive. W
Highly recommend this bakery!

We love supporting local shops, however, it is very difficult when service is awful. Was never greeted with a smile or a hello. When we inquired about the business, the gentleman retreated. So then we left without wanting to buy anything 😔.

This is the best cake I’ve ever had! I usually don’t like frosting and he’s frosting is the best!

My mom got a custom coconut cake from this bakery, and oh my goodness. It was the most delectable, moist, and flavorful cake we have ever eaten! Not too sweet either, I could have eaten the whole three layer confection.

I ordered a strawberry birthday. Ask for my daughter and it was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone.

I am from Minnesota was I was looking for a place to order a cake for my mom's 60th birthday surprise party. The owner is so nice and helpful with what to put on the cake. The cake itself was moist and the cream on the cake was light. The cake was too sweet either. Everyone at the party devoured the cake and kept asking where we ordered it from. So I highly recommend this shop and told friends about it.

Decoration is very good indeed, but that’s about it.
The cake itself, is not that good. Ordered a 3 leches cake there, the bread was dry, insanely dry. The flavor was not close enough to 3 leches either to say that it might’ve dried up. At this point I’m convinced they just did a normal plain bread, no flavoring.
If you’re looking for something that looks good, but doesn’t taste the way you wanted it to, this is the place.

We have had cakes here for years and never been disappointed. They are perfect and my European husband loves that they are just sweet enough but never tasted like pure sugar. I just stopped to grab 4 small cakes yesterday for my husbands birthday. He said it was the best choice I made all day... I agree!

Parking: There is only one place to get these fantastic cakes and it is in Vally Junction.

I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday, and I am happy to report that it was awesome. I ordered a strawberry cake as she loves strawberries. The cake was light, and the whip cream was not too sweet, It was just right. My daughter loved it, and so did our guests. Will definitely order cakes from here again.
The one thing I'd say about the service would be that when I was ordering the cake I didn't get asked what type of decorations I wanted and I had to ask about the filling, as I was not asked if I wanted one, it was strawberry mousse which was good. All I was asked is the size of cake, flavor, and writing.

Parking: There are a few parking spots right in front of the cake shop, which is perfect.

AMAZING cake! Classic bakery, not modern. The cake & frosting are just sweet enough, not overly sweet & rich like most cakes. My family's had these cakes on multiple occasions! $5 mini cakes also available. Recommend the carrot cake and almond!
