I ordered a Birthday cake for my Grandson at the last minute. When I called around 7:30 am to check if they had cake for that day, I was told yes by a very friendly young Lady. I asked for a football cake that was a big hit with my 11 yr old Grandson. The person who decorated his cake did an AMAZING JOB. I couldn't have been more pleased. So I Thank the Decorator and the girl who answered the phone for both doing a great job. It was much appreciated!!!

I recently reached out to them via Messenger, because I was in a situation where I could not find anyone to make a small cake for my son's graduation. I was also looking for specifically a vanilla whipped type of frosting. I had tried a few places, and no one could help me.Not only were they extremely helpful and accommodating, they made exactly the cake that we were hoping for! They literally saved the day. It was one of the best cakes we've ever had. The frosting was so light and fluffy. I will definitely order from them again in the future.!!!

Since moving to Utica a few months ago I've been sampling the many bakeries in the area, and while there are a lot of very good ones, Gingerbread Bake Shop is my favorite so far.The cinnamon buns (there is nothing better with a good cup of coffee) and Boston cream donuts (the perfect ratio of cream to donut to chocolate) are some of my favorites. The muffins are tasty, and you should grab a strawberry muffin if they're on offer: the strawberry flavor is especially intense! The holiday specialty items are great. I especially enjoyed the cheesecake cupcake at Valentine's Day.The staff is welcoming and efficient, ready to answer any questions. As noted in other reviews, it is cash-only and they do sell out early. Gingerbread Bake Shop is more than worth getting up a little early and making a trip to the ATM.

Under the radar local cash only bakery that makes the freshest pastries you can imagineHypes : - cakes and cupcakes - soft , solid flavor, soft , and a great buttercream- danishes - the raspberry and cherry and popular and sell out by 10am, the nut ones are also delicious - almond or walnut - Their black and white cookie is probably the best in the area -soft with a delicious frosting on top- They're glazed donut is also one of my favorites in the area - Their snowflake rolls are extremely popular for dinners and Thanksgiving - they have great seasonal pies and goodies!Gripes: - i wish the interior was a little nicer so you can sit nicely and enjoy your coffee and pastry there - if they accepted cards it would save me a lotof trips to the atm!

Definitely worth the drive. When the "H" bakery went corporate it lost something, the Gingerbread replaced it. The iconic white frosting is ridiculously good. Utica's legendary half moons are still small batch made by the Gingerbread Bake shop!

Went this morning for "fresh" baked goods. Well they weren't fresh at all and a bit stale. Last visit for me. They used to be really good I don't know what happened. Limited offerings and not so good anymore.
Such wonderful baked goods! Cash or check only so bring your cash!

When I travel into Utica one of my first stops is Gingerbread Bake Shop. The halfmoons are like what I remember when I was a kid. Just amazing!
