It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Couldn't believe it when I a friend told me this place has been in operation for years. Guess I need to venture over to Lawrence from Topeka more often! While not the case across the board, we found a number of the items we selected to be on par with the quality of treats we enjoy while visiting France. Needless to say I will be wearing out the Turnpike making return visits to this real gem.

She even offered some excellent advice. The original design I sent her had black icing with the design in white. I'm so glad Karen suggested reversing the colors, otherwise everyone's mouths would have turned black! I never would have thought of that. It's so nice to work with someone who will be honest with you about your selections and advise when something isn't going to work out as expected. The cake flavor (red velvet) was delicious too! So moist. Everyone loved it! Her prices are reasonable, she's very professional and easy to work with, and her cakes are delicious! We plan to use her again for my father-in-law's birthday cake.

A friend put this order in for a birthday cake and I went to pick it up, and the whole process was very smooth. The ordering is a bit old fashioned, you call ahead to put in an order, pay over the phone and then pick it up when it is ready in a warehouse like building from the front office. They were quick to get the cake and even made some accommodations to have half of the cake have a pecan coating and the other half be plain. The carrot cake was a little closer to a hummingbird cake, but it was moist and dense and fed a sizeable group. The prices were also SO reasonable! I will definitely be back to try some others!

Golden Boy Pies kept coming up as an answer, so I received a carrot cake from them for my birthday. Lo and behold, it is actually VERY CLOSE to an elusive hummingbird cake! The difference is that it contains pineapple and coconut. Hummingbird cake is typically very chunky and moist, and a very close cousin to carrot cake. But almost nobody makes it. So while this one is marketed as a carrot cake, if you are from the south, it definitely leans toward hummingbird. Anyway, it was Absolutely amazing! At first, I was a little disappointed that it didn't have thicker cream cheese icing, but once I dug into the cake and tasted how sweet and moist it was, I decided more frosting would've been too much of a good thing. It's an absolute winner!

I didn't get to go until they were a few hours in but they had a pretty good selection left. It's a small shop next door to a Honeybaked Ham in a shopping center on Black Bob. Pretty easy to get to. Has several tables inside if you wanted to sit in but we just grabbed several cupcakes, a Dubai Brownie, and a slice of Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake. While they were already sold out in a couple of my first choices (Triple Chocolate and Cosmic) they had some others I was eyeing. Lemon Blueberry, Strawberries and Cream, S'mores, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Yummy. I think my faves were Chocolate Peanut Butter (how can you go wrong?!) and Lemon Blueberry. I haven't tasted the brownie yet but since brownie is one of my fave desserts, I imagine I'll like it. We were waited on almost immediately and they were super nice. They have a rewards program too which I get could be dangerous! lol They had quite a few different flavors of cookies as well and I noticed they had several gluten free options which is great for those who must avoid it! This is my first visit but I think they change out their flavors pretty often so I'm looking forward to trying some more!
