The Cakery

decadent dessert. I tried their chocolate cupcake, sweet and rich.

We are regular customers of The Cakery and live in hillsdale. We like supporting local and have met the owners who are great. We have purchased numerous whole cakes from The Cakery. It’s hard to imagine why the owners hired such a strange, tweaky and socially inept service person. We’ve had nothing but positive service at the bakery (baker and spice bakery, same owners). Only thing I can think of is that they aren’t aware of her odd service.
Unfortunately, our experience at The Cakery has been consistently negative due to poor service. I went there this afternoon to purchase a cake, and the young woman on the cashier register was very rude yet again. I requested to purchase a whole cake and she told me that the one I wanted was no longer a whole cake, but cut pieces to be sold individually (which cost more of course), even though it had no pieces missing. She then proceeded to ask intrusive questions about why I wanted the cake and when we would be serving it.
There are many bakeries in town that don’t treat people this way, and next time we will go to Nuvrei or Papa Haydn instead. Sad because the cake is good!

Love that this bakery is in my neighborhood! I’ve purchased 2 cakes from here in one week, a carrot cake and a mocha cake. Both times everyone love it! Plus the staff is very kind and helpful.

The best carrot cake ever! I bought this for my father’s birthday and he is a carrot cake connoisseur! As instructed, we left it out for a couple hours so it would be room temperature. It was amazing! Everyone agreed that this was the best they had ever had. Bravo!

This place is the reason people keep coming to our kid’s birthday parties. The cake is wonderfully moist and dense, but not leaden. The buttercream is the antithesis to the horrible foamy topping placed on store bought cakes. We have tried to rotate through the cake flavors and they are all pretty tasty. The cupcakes have been a hit with the kids at the parties. You can also buy just a slice of cake to eat or even Macarons.

Excellent coconut cream cake for my wife’s 53^rd birthday! We will definitely buy here again.

Ordered 3 cakes for a triple birthday party. The lemon, carrot and black and white were all delicious, beautiful and perfect for each guest of honor. I ordered samples prior for a small fee which is a nice option before committing to a large cake. Attention to detail and loving care is evident. Will be my go to bakery for special occasions.

I am a long time fan of Baker and Spice going back to when they were a new stand at Farmers Market; I remember the owners dad worked the stand a lot and told me how she hoped to eventually have her own storefront, Well she did it with her excellent recipes she now has two shops!
Both shops are nice and simple, while the bakery has meals and seating this one has baking supplies, It also has a growing selection of food, Now they have meringues! I cant review those yet, I was their for cake.
For once I had my parents anniversary off, So to celebrate 56 years, and my moms birthday a few days later I picked up a cake here, It was… amazing. Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and a raspberry buttercream frosting. I served it with fresh raspberries.
The cakes here are not supper sweet but that lets the flavors really shine. It is also super rich so even though the cakes aren’t huge you only need thin slices. The cake was a hit with everyone,
One nice thing here is I was able to just stop in on a Saturday and pick up the cake, There were several to choose from and all were pretty. The helpful women at the counter gave me serving instructions so the cake would taste its best.
My mom. by the way, was e-​mailing pictures to everyone, she loved it, and my dad was all smiles as well.

This place is amazing. Friendly service, a cute assortment of baking tools and items to purchase, and DELICIOUS cakes and macarons! Stop in for a few minutes and you may end up staying for an hour. Pick up a beautiful book and handmade apron! Just get ready to leave with a smile on your face. I love supporting local businesses — especially businesses like these that make our community even better.

After a long search for the perfect cake for my boyfriends surprise party, I decided to try The Cakery. The website wasn’t quiet ready to go and I wasn’t sure what to order so I called over the phone. The woman was super helpful and I decided on the Lovely Lemon. WOW! It was a huge hit! So much that my friends all walked out with information on The Cakery. I will definitely be ordering another cake from them. I actually called two days before and changed the size of the cake and received great customer service again. The cake was ready on time and it was an in/​out pick up experience.

Baker and Spice has always done me right, so I decided to to give their cake shop The Cakery a try for the twins first Birthday cake. I called in, only 2 days before and spoke with a very helpful young woman. She told me they were more than happy to make a cake for us by the party date. I had inquired at another bakery and they practically laughed in my face at the short notice. The young woman went over the different cake options with me and I set my mind on the «Black & White: Devil’s food cake with chocolate ganache; filled & finished with vanilla buttercream topped with a circle of ganache kisses». Wow was it good! Many of my family members commented saying it was «the best cake» they’d ever had, and they wanted to know where we got it.
The bake shop also did a great job with the Circus confetti theme I requested.
The cake was right on time, the customer service was fantastic, and the cake delicious.
I highly recommend The Cakery!

As a fan of Baker & Spice I was really excited to try out The Cakery’s delicious looking cakes! I recently purchased a lemon curd cake for my husband’s birthday. While it looked great, for $ 32 I was extremely disappointed in the flavor. It didn’t really taste any better than a cake I could have purchased at any other bakery for a much more reasonable price. I’ll have to give it another try before I totally make my mind up, but my first time around has been a pretty big disappointment.

Went on my day off on Friday as per the website I could buy cake by the slice and it sounded like a great way to try the many flavors of Baker & Spice cake. Sadly when I went in even though they had many cakes on display, no slices were being sold that day. I was told to watch on Facebook as to what days individual slices would be sold. And I was told I could walk to Baker & Spice a few doors down a purchase an individual serving size baked good. I went to Baker & Spice and purchased a piece of crumb cake but it wasn’t the rich frosted cake slice I was craving and although it was fine I left disappointed, I really didn’t want to buy an entire cake just for me and thought as sliced cake is all over the website that buying cake by the slice would be an option every day.

What a cute little shop! Tons of high quality baking materials, cake stands, and recipe books. A little on the pricey side, but I tend to be a little more frugal when it comes to kitchenwares.
I tried a slice of their cake and it was delicious!
* German chocolate cake — 4.5 stars
pic:
Very moist, a deep chocolate flavor, rich creamy frosting.

Not only do they make beautiful cakes but they are super nice here too! I called the day before I needed a cake and although it was too later to place a special order, they just happened to have a 6″ pink cake ready to go! I went to pick it up the next morning and realized I had given them the wrong message to write on the cake. Ooops! They were incredibly nice and offered to refrost and redo the cake. I picked it up a few hours later and it looked amazing! They added some cute flowers on it too! Totally great service and great cake too! Definitely am coming back again.

Part of Baker & Spice, just down the way. The Cakery sells baking goods and baked goods (cakes/​macaroons). Everything they make here (and at Baker and Spice) is amazing.
I ordered 3 birthday cakes for the mega-​party we were having for my husband’s birthday. We had German Chocolate, Luscious Lemon, and the Latte Cake. All of them were huge hits at the party; everyone wanted to know where we had gotten the cake! I am not a chocolate fan, but everyone who was adored the German Chocolate. I did have Lemon and Latte cake and they were scrumptious. When I was a little girl, we lived in a town that had a Dutch bakery (we’re Dutch) and my favorite cake was what they called Mocha… golden cake with coffee flavored frosting. The Latte Cake was just like that! So wonderful.
What I especially like about their cakes is that they are not so cloyingly sweet, but much more like European cakes… made with less sugar. That way you can actually taste the flavors and not just the sugar.

I stopped in at Baker & Spice earlier this week to pick up a birthday cake for my dad’s birthday and had a bit of a panic attack because I noticed that the rotating cake display was no longer in the window. Once it was my turn to order I inquired if they were still doing cakes and the wonderful person behind the counter referred me to this business a few doors down. She informed me that they moved and all of their cake creations are now sourced through «The Cakery.»
If you had come to love SweetWares prior to this shop opening you will be happy to know that they are still selling a lot of the same products, especially the cake related ones. They are also still selling a lot of the books which I liked. The one thing that I was so disappointed to hear they weren’t carrying any longer is their Bennington Pottery. I bought a deep-​dish pie plate at SweetWares and it is so well made and beautiful. However Bennington Pottery can be ordered online, so that is good.
Upon walking in I was excited to see the rotating cake display and even happier to see the exact cake that I wanted to get for my dad. It was the «Super Duper» and it is an excellent chocolate cake! My whole family loved it. The woman at the shop even offered to pipe a message onto the cake for free which was a lovely touch. They make sure you know the best way to serve the cake as well.
I will continue to visit this business as I love the work they do. Everyone I’ve ever gotten a Baker & Spice cake for has been absolutely delighted!
