Curious Confections

I was looking for a customized cake to surprise my husband on our first wedding anniversary. While I was looking for options on the internet I stumbled upon Curious Confections and contacted Gemma to bake a cake for our special day. And I sure did make a good decision. She was responsive, helpful and tried to incorporate the design just the way I imagined it.
The cake brought such a smile on my husbands face and made our day! It was just like I had imagined and discussed with her. He actually refused to cut it because he said it was too cute to cut or eat. It was full of flavor and the chocolate filling was just perfect. The cake was nothing less than perfect. Just as I imagined. I can’t thank her enough. I would love to have Gemma bake a cake for all our future life events. I could tell she baked it with all her heart.

I was trying to find a place to make a special customized cake for my daughters 10^th birthday and I was not disappointed. As complex as Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Starry Night might be, Gemma did a great job and it was delicious. Thank you for making my daughters birthday a memorable day!

Gemma made two dozen lemon cupcakes with lemon icing for my son’s third birthday and not only did they look great, but they tasted delicious… like a lemon square in cupcake form! So good! I had a few people ask me where they came from they liked them so much. I think I probably ate 3 cupcakes within 2 days and I’m usually very calorie conscious, but I couldn’t help myself!

After surfing the internet looking for King Cakes for Mardi Gras, I found Curious Confections, called and ordered two. I was a little worried about whether the cakes would taste like King Cakes from home but oh my goodness I was so delighted. The cakes were amazing! They were baked perfectly and the frosting was so tasty. Honestly, I could have eaten a whole cake by myself but I would have had to run and lunge the full Town Lake trail to burn off the calories so I stuck to only three slices (yes three — not one) which was hard to do. Took discipline! Anyway, I FedExed one of the cakes to my son at Texas A&M. He and his friends loved the cake. They rate it 10. Will be ordering from Curious Confections again!

The only thing better than a perfectly baked and frosted King Cake is having said cake delivered by the world’s friendliest man. Michael, the co-​owner, dropped off two cakes this morning (ordered by a co-​worker) and explained how much care goes into each of the things his wife bakes. I’ve had two pieces so far of this delicious stuff, and I don’t see an end in sight. Thanks, Curious Confections!

I ordered their Gingerdead Men to be delivered to my son at UT. Gemma took my order and payment info over the phone and the cookies were delivered on time as promised. Great customer service and my son and his friends loved the cookies!

I had to work at Hope Farmers Market and across from my booth was Curious Confections. All the delicious looking baked goods were staring me down. I tried to resist but they won.
I went with a Millionaire’s Shortbread and the English Toffee. Both are crazy good. The Millionaire’s Shortbread has all of my favorite dessert things: chocolate, caramel, sweet buttery goodness and a hint of salt. The toffee is probably the best I’ve had. None of that slightly burnt tasting, pull out your teeth stuff. This is perfect, almost melts in your mouth and is covered in pecans. I could have bought everything on their table but I’ve got to maintain some semblance of a normal weight.
I’m off to stalk to their website to see where else I can find their yummy treats.

My sister had her wedding cakes done by Curious Confections. The groom’s red velvet Yoda cake was delicious, but her and her husband wouldn’t know because it was gone before they could get any! It was truly THAT good.

Loyal fan and consumer of Curious Confections for years and they just keep getting better. Gemma and Michael know how to keep their customers coming back for more whether it is their custom cakes, unique bite sized morsels or snacks for the four legged breed. Could not recommend this dynamic baking duo any higher. Check them out!!!

We will be a loyal customers for life.
Gemma and Michael offer a wide range of amazingly crafted homemade cakes and desserts that we’ve tried. Everything that we have eaten from their bakery has been beautifully crafted, and not surprisingly in the least, wonderfully tasty.
Whether they are making true English scones, which Gemma decided were seriously lacking in Central Texas, or Michael’s family recipe ribbon cookies, you will not be let down by the results they bring out of the kitchen.
We’ve ordered plenty of items from them, and with a wife who can appreciate Michael’s hometown NOLA recipes, we’ve been graced to make it onto the short list of occasional previewers for new concoctions. They have yet to disappoint, and you’ll love some of their future offerings coming around the corner.
Try the king cake (especially with the lemon crème icing — yum!) during Mardi Gras season, or swing by and see them at Hope Market on Sundays to pick up some welsh cakes, ribbon cookies, or English scones and you won’t be sorry.
Heck, they’re even worth dropping by just to visit with and grab a snack while discussing some good ol’ Doctor Who, board games and maybe even some homebrew. They’re a great couple and they have an awesome portfolio of «curious confections» that might just tickle your taste buds, no matter your desires.
Head out to see them at the market or visit their website to place an order and support this budding local business.
And consider ordering a custom cake because, seriously, they have an Optimus Prime cake. How could you go wrong?
