Homestead Kitchen - Artisan Cakery

I tried this bakery back in 2023 and ordered a carrot cake (orange frosted with nuts pictured). That one turned out absolutely amazing. The cake itself had a great flavor and the frosting had a subtle sweet, but strong cream cheese flavor. For a carrot cake it was perfect. Since that cake was memorable for everyone, I decided to order another one. When I picked it up on Thursday I noticed it was decorated different, I was a little concerned and asked if it was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. The lady said yes and I just accepted it. My concern isn’t with the decorating, it’s more so with the frosting. The consistency was oily and tasteless. Best comparison would be to eat a spoonful of crisco. We did have the cake sit out to room temp, it was harder to cut through the cake layers than the frosting. The cake itself was alright, some people said they liked it while others said it could be better. No one however liked the frosting and they scraped it off and threw it out. A couple even asked if someone may have forgotten ingredients for the frosting. Upon calling the bakery and going over the taste and if they changed recipes, it feels like I was given excuses. She mentioned that if it sat out for a certain time the frosting could change flavor. Not sure how accurate that is. Hard for something to lose flavor if there’s no flavor to begin with. I was also asked if the layered frosting tasted the same as the outside and it did. I was told they don’t use traditional American buttercream so it won’t be as sweet. Well, the frosting again had absolutely NO flavor. No extracts of any flavors, sugar, cream cheese, nothing. The call was short but it didn’t take long to feel like I was given excuse after excuse on why it tasted like it did. It’s a shame that this happened and going forward I’ll just use a different bakery.

Had the pumpkin spiced cinnamon roll. I was expecting it to be hard and needing to be warmed up to soften it, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. It was soft and the icing was really good. I would come back!

I can not say enough good things about this bakery! I wish I could rate them 10 stars. Not only did they take my last minute order because my original baker had an emergency, they exceed my expectations with communication, price and design of the cake. That’s not even mentioning the taste! Oh my gosh it was the most delicious cake!! Thank you so much Homestead you now have a new customer for life.

PS I honestly can’t wait to try one of those giant cinnamon rolls you have in the case. I’ll be stopping in tomorrow morning! 😊

From the flavors to helping us design our cake, the customer service was immaculate, delivery was timely, and prices were reasonable. Our wedding cake came out absolutely gorgeous and I am soo beyond happy we went to Homestead Kitchen

I lost track of time and was way late ordering a cake from anyone. I got extremely lucky that Homestead was able to accommodate my order! They did a fantastic job with my son's 1st birthday cake/smash cake! The customer service was extremely friendly, helpful, and prompt to respond. Pricing was worth the product that we received. The two cakes looked wonderful and they tasted amazing! I would absolutely recommend this bakery for your event needs!

I emailed Trina on September 2nd to have a cake made my the 7th and she was able to accommodate. She emailed back right away, I sent her inspo pictures and paid online. We just finished the cake and wow, it was AMAZING. The frosting was not too sweet and the cake was perfect. It had a hint of coffee flavor which was a pleasant surprise, made it even better. I will order all my cakes from her in the future!

Homestead kitchen made our wedding cake & desserts. It was all amazing! We are IN LOVE with our cake! Definitely will be coming back again! They also did a cake for my bridal shower & cookies. We got sooo many positive compliments! Thanks so much for making our day even better!

I got married in June, and one of the things I was adamant I wanted to do right was cake. For years my mom and I have jokingly complained about the weddings which skimp on the dessert, whether that be doing a donut wall, cake pops, or worst of all, no dessert at all! I promised my mom that if I ever got married, I would have cake at my wedding, and it would be good cake. So trust me when I say I took my cake search seriously. I almost passed over Homestead because their prices were a bit outside the range I was aiming for, but their range of unique flavors kept drawing me back and convinced me to at least schedule a tasting. Trina goes above and beyond with her tasting appointments, where sample plates are prepared elegantly while she talks through your vision for what your cake will look like. Not only was the cake delicious and the pictures of her previous work beautiful, but she was SO kind and helpful throughout my whole decision journey. Any time I called she picked up right away and answered all my questions. Even after choosing Homestead, there were times leading up to the wedding where I had questions, and at one point when I needed advice on how to serve the cake (my venue charged a high fee to have their staff cut and serve the cake, so we decided to have a few cousins help us out), she walked me through tips on how to properly cut and serve wedding cake, and even emailed me instructions on the best way to do so! People had warned me that I'd likely have a lot of cake left over because too late in the night people start to ignore the dessert, but man, almost all of it was eaten by the end of the night! I barely even got my own slice! This is all to say, I highly recommend Homestead Kitchen; such a lovely and attentive company, with delicious and beautiful cake :)
