Cakes by Bakin Bishop

Incredible cinnamon rolls! My husband had a hankering for a cinnamon roll while we were in Pigeon Forge on vacation, and was planning to swing into a Cinnabon one morning. I found this little gem on Unilocal and suggested we give it a try.
First off, Google Maps takes you to some residence close by, so just make sure you don’t turn off the main road, and keep an eye out for the sign. There is a couple of small tables to sit at outside, and one inside. My family of 4 was the only ones there at the time, so we had a seat inside. Very cute shop with lots of goodies and ice cream as well.
We each got a cinnamon roll, and they were fantastic. The glaze is out of this world. I do prefer my cinnamon rolls a little crispy on the outside but these were softer. Regardless, still very good and it didn’t stop me from eating the whole thing. We even decided to get some mini cupcakes to carry out for a family dinner we were going to later that evening. Those were great as well!

Seriously, one of the best cupcakes ever! This bakery is in a tiny cabin across from the Alpine Coaster. Pick your flavor, pick your cupcake and it gets frosted just for you! Everything is fresh and delicious. Very friendly place :)

Cupcakes delightful. Cinnamon rolls were good, but we like ours cooked a little more so they are crisper & a bit crunchy & done more in the middle.

We celebrated a birthday during a recent trip to TN. Shannon was extremely helpful in making our surprise one to remember. We ordered a dozen of the jumbo cupcakes and everyone chose their flavor and icing flavor. Incredible! If you are looking for a bakery to help with your celebration — call Shannon!

Yummy yummy yummy. Is all I can say. Whoppie cookie. Chocolate chip cookie with mint icing is the bomb. This has become a regular stop. What’s even better is that there is the coaster in front of it. Can it get any better? You should stop here.

Came back a second time, I got the cinnamon rolls… My god… Yes! Usually when you get a cinnamon roll it’s alittle hard on the outside and soft and awesome in the inside, this roll was soft all the way around the bun, and it was perfect!

WOW! I had such a GREAT experience with Cakes by Bakin Bishop. I ordered a birthday cake just a few days before a trip to Pigeon Forge. Shannon was amazing and was able to fit me in her schedule and deliver an incredible chocolate cake that was perfectly decorated. It was a huge hit with our group. When we picked up the cake, Shannon wasn’t there, but Laura was and she was such a pleasure. We intended to walk out with only the cake, but couldn’t resist the cinnamon rolls, cupcakes and other pastries. What a fantastic find! We will be back on our next trip.

By far the BEST cupcake I have ever had! We always make it a priority to make it by to get a few cupcakes! You can’t beat the chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing!

Cupcakes were DELICIOUS and their customer service was great!!! If you like cupcakes, cookies, brownies and ice cream this is the place to go!!!

Fabulous little bake shop. Places to sit inside and out. Specializes in custom cupcake, you pick the flavor and she frosts it while you wait your choice of frostings, then… Wait for it… You pick the sprinkles. You can even upgrade to those little sugar dealies. Both big and mini varieties. Super fresh, too. And the owner is a sweetheart to boot. This area can be a little touristy for my taste, Bakin was a great departure from that feel.

I only WISH I had found this place on day 1 of our vacation instead of the last day. AWESOME cinnamon rolls! The owner serves them hot and then ices them prior to serving them to you. EVERYTHING is made with REAL butter, not that cheap stuff everyone else is using. The cupcakes are excellent as well. You have to try this place before leaving the area!

My wife and I used Shannon and her staff for our wedding cake and could see genuine care throughout the entire planning process. She made us feel confident that we were getting great quality along with a cake that would feed our large wedding guest list. While the day of the wedding was somewhat a slight blur, I still remember that the cake looked astonishing and tasted heavenly. We try to stop by her store every time we get to travel up to Pigeon Forge now! I highly recommend her if you need a cake for an upcoming event or if you just wanna stop in and get one of the most delicious cupcakes!

When we travel we always check out the local cupcake places, this one is top on our list! Brunswick GA has a lady that might tie him but the Cake Bishop was great! I loved being able to pick my flavor cupcake and icing, and they decorate it right in front of you! The cupcakes were moist and the icing was piled high! I added a cute owl sugar on top! Yummy!

I stopped here on a weekend trip, given that it was on my way and, well, who needs an excuse to try cupcakes, right? When I’m traveling, I really enjoy visiting individual shops and restaurants and was looking forward to trying something new.
When I came in, I was greeted right away and given a rundown of the many options of mini and regular, (i., e. HUGE), cupcakes available that day. Super friendly service. I smiled when I asked about frosting and was answered that it’s buttercream ‘icing’…little did I know how true that would be.
I took two regular (again, *huge*) cupcakes to go — one chocolate, one vanilla, each with vanilla icing. Bonus that this place has individual containers for the cupcakes if you’re not buying a bunch so they don’t get squashed en route. The lowdown: so good. As in, so good that I put in an extra run on the treadmill that night so I didn’t feel badly about wolfing down the first and only momentarily pausing to consider devouring the second.
The cake: dense, moist, flavorful. Best ‘cake’ portion of a cupcake I’ve had in a long time. The chocolate was rich, almost fudgy… wow. Now, about that ‘icing’…yes, they are right to call it this. Frosting is usually kinda thin, maybe a little too sugary-​sweet, easily smeared and quick to melt. Not this. This is like cake icing — thick, sweet, so complimentary to the cake. Delicious.
This place was a pleasant surprise and I’ll be back when I return to the area for sure.

Walked in as they were pulling the cinnamon rolls from the oven. They were outstanding!

Great cupcakes for my daughters’ birthdays! Enjoyed the local treat while on vacation!

Stopped here while on a trip because I was intrigued by the «bakin bishop» concept, but disappointingly, the owner’s last name is Bishop, not an actual bishop. There goes the chance of each one of these little cupcakes being blessed by the Almighty. What wasn’t disappointing were the cupcakes and the price. You can customize the cupcakes as you wish, or ding the flavor of cupcake (lemon, yellow, chocolate, red velvet, etc) and then the icing to top it (buttercream, chocolate, mint, etc). It’s a big decision, because you don’t want to screw this part up. I tried the mini chocolate cupcake with mint, my dad had the mini orange cupcake with buttercream, and we both loved them enough to buy a 12 pack for further testing. What was equally enticing was the price, which, if I recall correctly was 91 cents per cupcake, and just under $ 11 for 12. Having discovered the gourmet cupcake movement while spending three years of my life living in Miami, FL, I am used to much higher prices, usually $ 1.25 a cupcake or more. Add on top of that the ability to customize (including sprinkles and drizzles) and these things rank high on the value. Sadly, upon further research, I found that I do not personally like their buttercream or cream cheese frosting. Not say they’re not good, they’re just not to my liking. I found all the cupcakes and the rest of the frosting options to be good.
The owners are very nice, and I sadly forgot to go back the next morning and try the cinnamon buns, which looked fantastic.

Everything is Amazing. Need a custom cake for a birthday, wedding or other special occasion? Look no further than Cakes by Bakin Bishops.

I 100% agree with the last post. We just stopped in today and had an amazing dessert i.e. lemon and marble cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. The best cream cheese frosting I have ever had. A diamond in the rough of the Smokey Mountains. PERFECT!

Two days in a row we visited this little locally owned bakery. We had the velvet cupcakes on the first day and the cinnamon rolls the second. There are few words to describe either edibles. Amazing, melt in your mouth, day altering are the ones that come to mind. The icing is rich but not overpowering and the cakes/​bread was a perfect amount of moist. If we lived in this area we would be in serious trouble.
The owners are two of the nicest people you will ever want to meet. Both sat and talked to my wife and I in great depth and not once did we feel rushed or as though we were just a business transaction. Please stop in and see for yourself… Or taste for yourself!
