I finally had an actual NY cheesecake from NY last night and I feel like I just found out Santa Claus isn't real bc they were nothing like the cheesecake at Enchanted Cakes. 1st and foremost.. Service. We're visiting family from out of town and came down for dinner and my father in law decided to surprise us with desert from here. They were closing and stayed open just to take care of us. Also the service couldn't be friendlier. A+ for service. Now on to that cheesecake. The crust was incredible. The cheesecake itself melted in my mouth. The only bad thing is it may have ruined any other cheesecake for me and I live 10 hrs away from NY. I guess I could have him ship it to us lol. 5 stars!

It was exactly what we needed to cap our evening. A large variety of cakes, , cookies and other desserts were on display. Three of us opted for the bourbon cake which was out of this world and our younger set got a brownie and a cookie. Everyone was over the moon about the quality of the desserts and the friendliness of the hostess. She was awesome and even gave my young son a short tour of the kitchen. Major kudos for that! The price was very reasonable too. Check them out!!!

We just had Janet make our daughters beautiful wedding cake . It was gluten-free, dairy free, and…read moresugar-free! It was as beautiful as we possibly could have imagined. Janet was meticulous in asking us about all of our daughters allergies and preferences for taste and products. She also gave us several suggestions for how she could get it to look and stay true to my daughters request. She worked a miracle. Not only that, she made arrangements for us to be able to pick it up when she was going to be out of town. That is a true professional! My daughter absolutely love the cake to the point they drove 40 miles out-of-the-way to come by our house and pick up what was left of it after their honeymoon. She wanted to eat it all by herself! Kudos to Bearsville Baker's for being a bride's best friend. Thanks again Janet and Lisa!

The assortment, the variety, the imaginative flavor combinations all stand up non-GF foods perfectly. Particular favorites are the risotto cakes, the "healthy muffins", and the quiches... ohhhh, those quiches are a thing of beauty. The egg filling has a light, silky, custard that is unlike the dense fillings often found. The crust is flaky, and the vegetable/cheese combos are always inspired. Now I want her quiche!
