Custom Cakes in Skowhegan, ME

“A Skowhegan GEM with Legendary Staff & Pastries!

If you’re anywhere near Skowhegan and haven’t been to The Bankery, stop what you’re doing and GO. I walked in expecting a simple treat and walked out with a full heart, a full stomach, and an unforgettable experience.

First off, Mackenzie and Grace deserve a standing ovation. Their kindness, attention to detail, and warm hospitality made me feel like family. They handled a full case of French cream horns (yes—12 cream horns with raspberry filling) like total pros, all while smiling and keeping the vibe welcoming and cheerful.

I also grabbed a sausage, egg & cheddar croissant, a chocolate croissant, and a strawberry & cream cheese croissant—and every single bite was next-level bakery bliss. Flaky, rich, and perfectly balanced. You can tell the bakers care.

Speaking of bakers, I had the pleasure of chatting with Mike, who not only shared his love for baking but gave me a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the building’s history and attached theater, which adds a whole layer of cool charm to this already awesome place.

I even got to meet Matt, the owner, who was incredibly kind and clearly passionate about his team and community.

And yes—this bakery is actually inside a beautiful old bank! Vaults, high ceilings, historic charm—it’s like walking into a pastry-filled time capsule.

Final verdict: 5 stars all day. This is more than a bakery—it’s an experience. I’ll absolutely be back, and if you’re ever in Richmond, stop by Morning Moose Coffee—we’ll do our best to match the same level of amazing service and community spirit that The Bankery delivered.“
