The Futile Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (47)

"I was gifted apple cider scones by a kind neighbor and they were the best I've had in my lifetime. Other scone makers need to take lessons from Futile Bakery."

GT Treats

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I have used Gloria for any baby shower and birthday party I have celebrated the last two years. Not to mention referring her to every bride I work with. Her cakes are delicious and incredibly beautiful. You will not be disappointed if you choose GT Treats"

Amons Sugar Shack

★★★★☆ 4.4 (63) • $

"Great place! So quaint and the employees so nice. I have a high standard for donuts because of the great bakery in my hometown. This place is awesome! We had breakfast of eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, which were hot and delicious. Made to order. Then we had donuts. We had the Carmel iced and coconut donuts on our first visit. The second time we had the same breakfast, which was again delicious but we had chocolate iced donuts. They were so yummy. Even got some donuts to go. I'm sure they'll be great! Worth the stop. This is a family owned business ran with love and it shows."

Wicked Whisk Cake Co.

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I was absolutely amazed by the response time and communication which was above and beyond. My daughter's graduation cake not only looked phenomenal but tasted soooooooo good. The entire cake was eaten people were asking for more. Thank you!"

Blu Bakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (10)

"Unique flavors and it's all about the icing. Can't go wrong with cream cheese. But it is on the expensive side per cupcake so def a special occasion purchase. It would have been nice if they had specials for large orders. It's a cute venue and always happy to support small, local businesses in town. I'll be on the lookout for new flavors."

Sweet Creations Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (9)

"Ok here's my updated review after we ate it. It was DELICIOUS! So moist and not too sweet. I truly loved the cake but I am still upset at the quality of my "custom" experience and lack there of on my cake. I was charged too much (more than regular off the shelf cake) and was given a less than customized product. I didn't appreciate her saying that the cake I chose from the Yelp picture was what they "used to do" but the picture was from 3 months ago. I have made future customers from everyone I had try it but I hope they don't receive a bad experience because I truly believe in this company and their product."

Lu Lu Licious Desserts

★★★★★ 5 (12)

"Our out of state daughter ordered a Mother's Day Fruit Basket via 1-800-Flowers that was fulfilled by Lu Lu Licious Desserts. The basket was so fresh, so perfectly ripe and beautifully designed. My wife was so impressed, she felt compelled to call Lu Lu to thank her for our delicious gift. I'd post a picture, but I followed the instructions - removed the cellophane and devoured the basket within 24 hours!As Lu Lu, who is a celiac, specializes in gluten free products, we're going to learn a lot more about her business and enjoy the goodness of her talent!"

Vafa Cakery

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"A breath of fresh air in the coffee scene of Lexington . Located on Virginia avenue Vafa Cakery and NuHealth cafe is the new hidden gem in Lexington . Vafa the master baker is excellent at her craft. For many many years she perfected the art of baking for birthdays and especial occasions and now she has brought her craft for the public to enjoy. The coffee shop is a relaxed environment with modern decor and some of the best coffee beverages and healthy shakes and pastries in town. I had the Affogato and pistachio cupcake today and it was out of this world. Friendly staff and delicious food and pastries and coffee is a great combination for a relaxing moment in our busy everyday lives. Very close to UK Hospital and the campus"

Serial Grillers & Killer Sweets

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"SO GOOD! Had deserts for an office I was calling on and these sweets were a hit! Great little spot!"

Carol Codell

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Carol Codell works from home as an amazing baker-I can honestly say I've never had cake that I've loved so much that I continually talk about-all the time. All my friends that have tried it feel the same way! She bakes cakes, cupcakes, pastries and all sweet treats for any occasion. We had a cake of hers tonight for my brothers birthday-we had the vanilla with chocolate frosting. I've had many of her cakes and I honestly can't choose a favorite! HIGHLY RECOMMEND"

Overhang Tavern

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (4)

"Overhang Tavern is the best place to grab a bite in the Natural Bridge State Park area. It's family owned and operated with some of the best homemade food I've ever had. They have cute and comfortable indoor/outdoor seating, and occasionally host a fish fry and roast during the warmer months (check out their facebook to stay updated). With a wide variety of foods and desserts, they truly have something for everyone. This place is awesome and if you haven't been, you're definitely missing out!"

Sugar Fashion Cakes

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Working with Sarah Roberts was super easy and she has a pretty simple process to get your orders in. She does not have any limits to what she can create. For our wedding, we ordered 70 parfaits in 4 assorted flavors that were absolutely phenomenal. She even created some for us prior to the wedding for us to have a tasting of what to expect. We booked with her a year in advanced, and we found this to be ideal to plan ahead.All parfaits were ready at the time she said they were going to be. She does deliver for a fee, but we opted to have someone pick them up instead since it didn't make sense to us to have it delivered. Everyone's needs are different. What we ordered and the quality of the product matched. She was really nice to allow us to pay over time for our items instead of one installment as well. She works with you and understands that everyone has different needs. If I ever have a need to use her again, there is no question about it - I will definitely be reaching out."

Mondelli's Bake Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (31)

"Amazing bakery items, and have rarely if ever missed on those flavors and cake designs."

Kristen’s Kreations

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Love being able to get a cupcake or other sweet treat in downtown Versailles! A variety of cookies, cakes, and other delights, reasonably priced. There are also gluten free options."

Cabel's Cake

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"One of the best bakery's ever. Maker of amazing custom cakes, if you can dream it they can make it. Support a small business. The owner Lisa, is a wonderful person with a amazing talent. Would highly recemmend to anyone, these cask are simply stunning."

What The Crumb

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I've gotten several things from what the crumb and Carla does a wonderful job. I didn't eat any of the first cake I got but the cupcakes and the 2nd cake were so good (I ate almost the whole cake myself over the next two days) she has many wonderful flavors to choose from and you can create what you want! And she will tell you if things like caramel filling will make the cake type soggy. All around great baker and a wonderful experience ordering with her"

Bake My Day

★☆☆☆☆ 1.3 (4)

"My fiance and I met with Jennifer from Bake my Day yesterday. After that meeting we are 100% certain we do not want to use her service. She cancelled our appointment last week and this week, tried to cancel about 20 minutes before the appointment ( we were already en route) When we arrived there, she was very rude. We could tell she did not want to be there, and was irritated that Mary was telling her that she needed to be, or that we just did not want to move our appointment again. She also did not want to provide us with the quote, because the venue would be paying for the cake; not understanding, that any overage in the cost, would result in us paying the difference. Which necessitates my need for seeing that quote. The cake was delicious and had we been treated better, there might have been a sale. But in the service industry, you can not trample your customers events because of your bad mood. We will be meeting with other bakeries this week and next week to decide the vendor we would like to use to provide the cake. But after the show we got yesterday from Bake my Day, it will not be that one. I now understand why she has such GLOWERING reviews on Social Media, Wedding Wire and Google Forums."

Williams Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (41) • $

"This bakery has always been a go to for our family through the years. It's family owned and operated. There's been a bit of a rough patch for a few months. Please consider supporting this business. Reposted, in part, from Facebook (Jon Reiter)...When you have the chance over the next few weeks and going forward, visit Williams Bakery in Clarksville. They're handcuffed by an endless construction project. They're also hanging on by a thread. This is a local business that has served our area well for decades.From New Albany or Louisville...Get on Brown Station Way and turn by the new wastewater plant, turn onto Clark Blvd., then head north. The road is broken up and it takes some effort, but it's worth it.Their inventory of baked goods, despite this, is as good as it's ever been. Support your local small businesses."

Barbs B&B

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Stayed here for 7 weeks working at the hospital. Barb is a great person. A great cook and an awesome baker. I got to sample some of her baked goods.Very nice private bed room with private entrance and a great atmosphere. If you're visiting Beaver Dam. Give Barb a call you will definitely enjoy the experience."

Rose Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (17)

"Second trip to the store. It is gorgeous and airy inside. Is this a mom & pop or is it a chain? Today I stopped in after work to see what was available and was met with a young gentleman working behind the counter. He was engrossed in something but finally looked up to greet me. I asked what flavor a cinnamon roll was as it was smaller then the regular rolls, the pistachio roll and the chocolate looking one. He had no idea. I asked if the baklava was made by them, again he had no idea. I asked about another item and again, he didn't know the answer. He didn't offer to go find anyone to obtain the answer either so I thanked him and walked out. I will give this bakery another try as it is the only bakery around this area but hoping for better next time ;)."

Cakes by Camille

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"This was our first time in this business and we don't live near here and was only here for business. My daughter has a bad sweet tooth and asked to come here. She got a slice of cookie cake (HUGE) and a macaroon. I got an iced sugar-free pumpkin latte. Everything was great. Would definitely return again. Only complaint is prices. I can get a macaroon back home for $2 and these were over $3."

Sammy's Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (16)

"I don't know what inspired me to drive to Eminence for donuts, but I did it! I was doing something in Louisville and decided to make a small trek out to see if this place really existed or not. They had a good variety of donuts and, in all honesty, I don't have any ups or downs from all the donuts that I tried from the place. It was basically just a good donut place!"

Sweets by Millie

★★★★★ 4.6 (23) • $$

"I had been able to try Sweets by Millie at an elite Yelp event two years ago and I finally thought it was time to order my own set of cookies for my sons first birthday. I was able to email my ideas to Maggie and it was easy enough, yes others may have a better set up but as a small business we have to not expect Amazon checkout. Now back to the adorable cookies, just loved the sweet bears, banners and party hats from Maggie and her staff. They were great party favors."

D&M Cakes

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"They have the most delicious, affordable cakes ever! I definitely recommend! I've been having Mandy do my cakes for years!"

Adrianne's Cakes & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"Adrianne's cakes & cafe is a dessert and cafe option in the Fairdale community of Kentucky just off National turnpike road. I actually came across there location during a light up Fairdale holiday event. They had a booth selling a wide variety of there goods. Me and the family got a good sampling. We ordered some cookies and fudge. I personally got a mint Bourbon fudge. Everything we tasted here had good flavor and was tasty. My mint bourbon was unique. I've had mint Chocolate and have had bourbon chocolate but never a mixture. It was good. Had a nice flavor and a nice amount of the bourbon taste as well. Overall they have some cool and unique dessert options that were tasty. I'm very curious to what there storefront cafe has to offer and have this on my to do list to return and check out."

Sweet Thaly

"excellent service I fell in love with their cakes they are super delicious and the attention is the best thank you sweet thaly"

Bug & Buttas Bake Shoppe

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Wonderful, prompt conversation on Facebook messenger. Seamless ordering process. So easy to work with. Beautiful presentation. I got two dozen cake pops for my husband's 50th birthday celebration. The pops were exactly what I asked for, when I asked for them and a huge hit with our guests. And the taste? Amazing! Some of the best cake pops I've ever had! I would not hesitate to order from this shop again for any special event. Thank you so much!"

La Moreña Panadería & Tortilleria

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"We heard about La Morena through Yelp's virtual event with Farm + House and decided to visit this bakery in person to check it out. As we parked we noticed that OPEN light was off. It was an afternoon so we thought maybe they had closed, but when we were through shopping at the small Mexican grocery next door the sign was lit, so we went in. It's a small business and our visit was in the middle of a pandemic, so odd hours are understandable.The storefront is recognizable if you've been to other panaderias: trays and tongs for self-service, glass-doored cases with shelves of panes dulces and breads, a refrigerator with packaged slices of cake. True to their name, they also carry tortillas, chips, and bags of masa (the latter found in the refrigerated case). The pastry selection is pretty standard: conchas, donuts, filled pastries, orejas, marranitos, tri-color cookies, etc. At the counter, there's a book with images of cakes that can be special ordered.I thought we went overboard selecting pastries on our first visit, but for only $8 we got half a dozen cookies/pastries and a piece of tres leches cake. It was a steal; all were good. We've also ordered through Farm+House, which is nice since La Morena is a drive for us. This has enabled us to try more items, including their telera rolls, tortillas, and tortilla chips.It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. If you aren't in the area, maybe manufacture and excuse to be so you can check out these baked goods."

Kathys At Spoonful Of Sugar

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Kathy has always provided wonderful food at her places. I will separate my review between food and sweets. I don't fully understand the merger between Kathy and Spoonful of Sugar - but I'm glad it happened. Maybe Kathy does the hot food and the original person still does the bakery - I'm not sure. Before Kathy took over, I do recall Spoonful of Sugar being closed during court day and I had messaged them to ask when they would be open. Courtday is only the biggest tourist attraction in our area and as a local business you would think they would want to be open during the heaviest foot traffic of the entire year, but they responded they wanted to attend court day so they were going to be closed. I thought that was very strange. I hope with the new structure - they will be open during court days going forward. Food - I love Kathy's salads, breakfast, grouper fingers, and so much more. Literally everything I have had has been wonderful. She makes amazing homemade ranch dressing and beer cheese as well and you must try them both. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. The steak salad is amazing and I ask them to keep the fat on, cause that's the way I like it. The coleslaw is so creamy and delicious, I have purchased a large container to take home for dinner sides back when she was still at the country club. There are some breakfast sandwiches that you have to try! And I am not a big breakfast lover, but the croissants here are to die for. So buttery and soft - and then pile it high with ham, egg, and cheese - oh lord! Sweets - Before Kathy took over Spoonful of Sugar, I was never a fan of any of the sweets here. Sadly, I have to say that is still the case. I have tried nearly everything in the store, but have yet to find a sweet treat that I love here. Let me go into more detail: The mini pies - I attempted to purchase a mini butterscotch pie and when I got it home, it was a chocolate pie even though it was labeled as butterscotch. I tried it and wasn't crazy about it but I still wanted to try the butterscotch pie so I tried again. I was quite disappointed in the crust, it was very tough and you could not get a fork through it. The pie filling was just ok and the topping was just ok. Not something I would buy again.Cookies - I have tried several of the cookies on many occasions but each time the cookies are very crunchy. I know some people like crunchy cookies, but I am a soft and chewy kind of cookie girl. When I say soft - I mean SOFT like nearly falling apart and gooey. If you can hold it upright and it doesn't start to lean a little, then it simply isn't soft enough for my liking. I gave up trying to get a soft cookie after a few purchases and realized these cookies were just not my style.Chess bars - I love a good chess bar - but each time I tried these they seemed to be overcooked and slightly burned.Cupcakes.- ok, cupcakes are my absolute favorite thing. There used to be a wonderful place in town to get cupcakes called Swirlz and I was a regular there. When they went out of business I was hoping there would be some sort of collaboration because those were the most delicious cupcakes I've ever had in my life. I want to see creative flavors - chocolate peanut butter and butterfinger were my favorites. I'm not crazy about the cupcakes here, both the cake portion or the icing. I guess I keep comparing it to Swirlz and it doesn't compare in my opinion so I guess I'm disappointed in anything that doesn't come close to those. As you can see - I've tried the sweets on many occasions - but after so much disappointment for me I had to stop trying the sweets. I think a lot of people in town love them - but none of them seem to be my personal style that I like so unfortunately I can't find anything in the sweets area here for me."

Baby Cakes Cupcakes

"We will forever be grateful to BBCakes for providing all the desserts for our wedding this past weekend. The guests all raved about the flavors and the presentation was superb! Thank you."

Sweet Stuff Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (64) • $$

"Sweet stuff bakery has become my official go-to bakery since working in southern Indiana. I'm lucky enough to receive sweets as a gift on a regular basis due to the nature of my career, so I've had my fair share of sampling from Sweet Stuff. I'm also going through Sweet Stuff for my wedding cake toward the end of the year and I have no second thoughts about it.Every dessert I've had from Sweet Stuff has been absolutely decadent. From the Halloween cookies, to the Valentine's cake pops, to the wedding cake samples. Everything has tasted phenomenal and has looked impeccable in terms of presentation. Even the donuts are cute! These are the desserts that I imagine fairies and princesses indulging in, except you don't have to be a mythical creature or royalty to get in on these tasty treats. Sweet Stuff is always my first recommendation to anyone for desserts."

Half-Peach Bakery & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (21)

"I ordered ahead of time a spinach and artichoke pizza, and tres leches cake. Both were very good. The place is in an office building of sorts, in the back. There are two sides, connected with an open doorway. The first side has the counter, drink and dessert fridge, and the kitchen behind the counter. My food was ready. I took it through the doorway and sat at one of the empty tables. It was clean, quiet, and pleasant. I would come here again if I lived nearby."

Royal Delights by Zhanae

"Listen yall, listen up. Her cakes are amazing! Her desserts are not only beautiful, but the most delicious. Alot if times when you get beautiful cakes the taste is not as beautiful as the cake. But cakes by Royal Delights are ALWAYS delicious. Here's the scoop, you need to order in advance. She specializes each order personal for you from cinnamon rolls to chocolate covered fruits, cakes, cheesecakes and let's not forget the banana pudding! Make sure you order your cake for your special day! She always comes through with amazing treats!"
