BAKERY 101 REVIEWS

I had the delightful triple berry cake and absolutely loved it! You do have to order this cake ahead of time as they don’t regularly have it in their cake case. Whipped cream, soft and fluffy chiffon cake and then plenty of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries…mmm perfection! I also love how this is a locally owned, mom and pop sort of place, I love supporting the local community. They usually will have a selection of whole cakes and cakes slices at any time, but on the weekends they seem to have a bigger selection of cakes and then these croissant too! Such a pretty croissant and the cream filling was so good and the croissant so flaky.

Everything about this bakery is AMAZING! I am so bummed I am just now finding it. They have quite the selection so it was very challenging to choose from. All of the treats I tried were incredible. You can taste the quality of the ingredients but more importantly the love of the craft absolutely comes through. It’s now on my bucket list to try every baked good they offer! The owners are so incredibly sweet and friendly which made the experience that much better. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family and would recommend to any sweets lover!.

Can't go wrong with any cakes here. They're all fresh and good and not too sweet. Reasonably priced. Friendly owners and staff. We come here every time we visit family and take cakes with us for the gathering. Highly recommended.

PACIFIC BAKERY REVIEWS

Ordered the full sheet fruit tart cake for a work anniversary and it was enough to feed about 50 people. Everyone was gushing about how beautiful the cake was! The fruit was so fresh and the different layers created a great texture. The staff at the store were very nice. I can't wait to eat this cake again!!.

Wow cake was amazing. They have them there I even paid mine ran some errands and picked it up after. Don't let anyone tell you these cakes are not bomb. 3 days later and fruis is still fresh.

One of the hidden gems in the area! You wouldn't think a small bakery in a food court would offer such delicious cake.

SIMPLY SWEET CAKES REVIEWS

I can't say enough good things about the custom birthday cake Nicci made for us at Simply Sweet Cakes. From our first meeting, everything was smooth and easy, and the end result was stunning. I gave her a few ideas and a general theme, and what she created completely blew me away. The attention to detail, the color palette, the design absolutely perfect.

I was able to get a custom cake done two days in advance. The cake and chocolate mousse filling were delicious. They topped the cake with macarons as requested and those were delicious as well. Highly recommend this place for all your cake needs.

Nicci and her staff are so friendly and warm. Their desserts are beautiful and taste incredible! I love how professional they are when helping me place orders. They delivered on quality, design, and timing. 10/10 recommend!.
