Just had an adult birthday cake made here for this past weekend and the cake was amazing and you could tell it was very freshly made, not dry at all. They also wrote on it very nicely. Very happy with the cake from here!

Haven’t been to the location other than to pick up one of the best and most fresh cakes you will ever come upon! Such great fresh cake, tasty buttercream and fresh fruit inside shows their craft and love for cake haven’t had anything else but can’t wait to go back

Disrespectful and unprofessional, I was referred to this bakery because someone else had me try a slice of cake from there and it was good...very good...but the disrespectful employees and their sacrastic comments used with customers is unacceptable and hopefully the management does something about the actions of their employees service before they lose more business...just like they lost mines and I will not be referring anyone to this bakery...gave one star only because I had too...

Unbelievable HoHos! Right now they have peppermint and chocolate. They are not to be missed. The chocolate was divine. Eat their HoHo with no guilt, knowing the best of ingredients were used. The staff is exceptionally friendly.

I drive from 30+ minutes to get my favorite molasses ginger cookies with creme cheese frosting!! I love them plain also! The brownie is fantastic too! Craving some PB & chocolate, try the buckeye cookies. Cute shop, helpful staff, and terrific treats!

I love Bent Fork Bakery. I order cakes and cupcakes from them anytime I have an occasion for it. And I love their baked goods you can get from their display. I had an unusual request due to poor planning. I asked them to take their rainbow cake, no decorations, make the frosting green and put the lettering at the edge of the cake because I was going to put a volcano on the top. Then as they asked the color for the lettering, I said orange for lava color and as I said it I thought ‘oh goodness, green cake with orange lettering?! That might look weird.’ I had no clue how it would turn out, even for a simple request. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for what I had planned. I added all the elements on top and was even able to put “lava” sprinkles coming through the text gaps. The cake itself tasted so good, as all their cakes do. Next time I’d love to plan ahead and work with them to design a birthday cake, but for now I was super happy they accommodated my request for a “blank canvas” and everything turned out just the way I hoped.

An Unforgettable Wedding Cake Experience
We ordered our wedding cake from this bakery, and to this day, every single guest still talks about it ,not one person failed to say it was the most delicious cake they’ve ever had.
We chose a chocolate cake with salted caramel filling and vanilla, and it was absolute perfection. The flavor balance, the texture, and the presentation were all flawless. It wasn’t just beautiful ,it was truly unforgettable.
It became such a favorite that now, every year on our anniversary or birthdays, we make sure to have a cupcake in the same flavor to relive that moment. This bakery doesn’t just make cakes ,they create memories.

After having the joy of tasting Bent Fork for my birthday for the first time last year, I knew we had to get our wedding cake from them! We ordered a cutting cake for ourselves, and a few different flavors of sheet cake for our guests. I have never been to a wedding where all of the cake was eaten! We ordered more cake than we even needed, and our guests cleaned house! It was DELICIOUS! Thanks for the tasty memories!
