Ganache: The Ultimate Cupcake

Not super crazy about their cupcakes, just didn’t hit the spot at all. I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly it was but they were a very dense cake and the frosting was just ok. Although the puppy cups my dogs enjoyed.

Not sure why local’s dislike this place so much. I think it’s a little refreshing to have a nice dessert place to go to in Tyler. I’m not in town often, and I travel a lot, so I have experienced a lot of dessert places… and this one was very good. I bought a dozen cupcakes for the guys at the office and I think they were all gone in 5 minutes. Everyone loved them.
Macaroons were really good as well! I’ll be back here next time I’m in Tyler.

My wife had been bugging me to go to this place for a week to «check it out». Well… We did… I’m sorry folks but unless I’m missing something this place should be closed soon. I can get bigger, better tasting muffins at the Brookshires grocery and not pay $ 4.50 ea for a one biter. Coffee? Forget it unless you want to wait for it to be made by which time your muffin would already be gone. Another «
Hoity-​toity» Tyler fru fru place. Not worth your time.

Really disappointed by the two iced fish shaped cookies that I bought. They just didn’t taste very good for the high price. If I’m going to pay almost 10 dollars for 2 cookies and a bottle of milk, I expect better. Not sure if I’ll come back.

This place has a great atmosphere, their cupcakes are delicious and huge! They provide good alternative options for those with dietary restrictions and are much better than the other bakeries on old bullard!

This place is on my way home from school, and after a very stressful Friday, there’s nothing their fabulous macaroons can’t fix. I haven’t tried much else from here BUT the macaroons, but as soon as you get close to the door, it smells great. I don’t doubt that their cupcakes are pretty good as well.

Price is too high for dry, crumbly, small (though I was grateful since I had to force myself to finish one) cupcakes. I was warned they weren’t good, should’ve listened. Also, the young lady who assisted me was very unfriendly and clearly did not want to be there… I won’t be back.

Rolled into Tyler early afternoon and wanted a treat and found this little bakery and oh mama, what a treat!
First you see these glass covers plates with mouth watering cookies. They had a peanut butter kiss cookie which I sure did get.
Cake pops, little cake, macaroon. and brownie slices were just side notes to the fabulous array of cupcake delight lined up in the case. Then I saw it, the cupcake flavor that I can never resist, lemon. Not only was the lemon cake moist and lemony, it wash filled with lemon stuff like the filling for a lemon pie. Omg! The frosting was just the right amount of sweetness and the creamy consistency was luscious.
My friend got a choffy cupcake which had a chocolate cupcake with rich thick decadent chocolate frosting with toffee sprinkle on top of the cake and on top of the frosting. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and I thought she was having a seizure but no, no it was cup cakegasm.
We will be back to this little find!

Tyler might be a small town but the macaroons here pack a big city punch! Living in Houston we have lots of great places but recently I was introduced to Ganache: The Ultimate Cupcake. After a recent visit to France I have been on my own personal macaroon journey, which can be quite difficult to find Parisian macaroons.
Yalls macaroons are amazing. At a recent family function my cousin brought these down with him. There was a huge box with lots of options & my cousin could not remember which flavor was which color. That left me with so many options to try! I hate to expose myself here but I tried almost all of them. My favorite was a darker chocolate one with a perfect center. The strawberry was delightful and all the others had the perfect consistency which is extremely important. Sometimes the exterior crumbles or the interior is too stiff. These were perfect.
I only have one complaint and that’s I wish their website had macaroon info. I wanted to read what flavors there were so that I could see which ones I got to try. The website is helpful with other info but no macaroon details. Hopefully someone sees this and finds it helpful.

Giving this place five stars because I absolutely love the cupcakes! I have been here many times but decided to wait a little bit to put a review up! I usually buy the Lava cupcakes and Strawberry cupcakes, its always freshly baked and are not dry at all! The last time I went was this past Thursday with my older sister and I bought four cupcakes of different kind and I got one free cupcake, it cost me $ 16.43 and well worth it. Also just to mention for every visit they personally initial their business card to get to a FREE cupcake on the 6^th visit! They have me coming back for more!

Amazing cupcakes! Try the snickerdoodle if you like cinnamon.

It has been at least 18 months since I’ve stepped inside Ganache. I’ve had their cupcakes and cake at parties, and recently also had a «cake-​pop» from the attached Jen’s Pop Shoppe. It seemed the quality of the cake had gone up, so I decided to go inside again to see what else had changed. I do think the product has improved. There were four of us and we tried the salted caramel, the lemon, the pumpkin, and the lava. They were all moist, fresh, and the icing seemed less sugary and more flavorful. The peanut butter icing was amazing.
What I can’t get over is the service… or lack of. If they don’t want to have dine-in…don’t. Most bakeries in Tyler don’t. They put out tables and chairs, but seem so annoyed if you choose to sit to eat. Even worse, there was no coffee made. There are a few bottled sodas, sweet tea, and milk (thank goodness). It just seemed haphazard and cheap to hand us each a styrofoam plate to eat from. They counter attendant was on the phone almost the entire time, which is exactly how I remembered it 18 months ago.
I’m hoping the new bakery by Fresh and Moss will have a higher level of customer service.

Salted caramel cupcake… What a delicious creation! So creamy and soft inside. This was so well-​made that I actually drove back and purchased three more for my sister and her boyfriend who was coming into town, and the third for my friend who would be watching my sister’s dog while she was with me. Great job Ganache.

Too expensive and too small. Nothing spectacular.

We are visiting Tyler for the weekend for a girlfriend’s birthday and came to Ganache to buy some fancy birthday cupcakes. Cupcakes have gotten really popular in our hometown of Austin, TX and we were expecting something similar – large cupcakes for a large price. Unfortunately we discovered that the prices were more than large, and the cupcakes were disappointingly small. Some of them were tasty (try the chocolate peanut butter, snickerdoodle, or lemon drop) but most seemed like something I could make with a store bought mix, a can of frosting, and a piping bag. Definitely not an experience I care to repeat. Their version of gourmet left us all wanting more.

The cupcakes seemed dry, as if they had been over baked or had gone stale and the icing was way too sweet for my taste.
The prices are also high for what you get. I paid around 12 bucks for three cupcakes, and these are not «OMG that’s a big cupcake» kind of cupcakes, but the kind you pass out at kid’s birthday parties when you are trying to limit sugar consumption. I do have to give a compliment on the strawberry icing, you could really taste the fresh fruit even though it was still too sweet for the likes of me.
I’m going to wait a few weeks and try again to see if the kinks have been worked out, and I encourage you to do the same. However as it stands now I would have to say they aren’t earning that «ultimate cupcake» title.
