Had a cake tasting set up. Their "butter cream" left a disgusting residue on my tongue and mouth…read more The butter cream was way too sweet and you couldn't distinguish flavors. It all tasted the same. Too loose consistency. The "butter cream" tasted like it was made of Crisco. It was terrible. Chocolate frosting was terrible and their "fillings" weren't that. It was the same terrible "butter cream". The cake was way too dry. Couldn't even cut it without it falling apart into a massive pile of crumbs. It was hard to get down. The vanilla tasted like an overly eggy, super cheap box mix. Fake vanilla flavor. It was the worse tasting vanilla cake I have ever tasted. Even my dad hated it and he loves cake. It was so bad I wanted to teach them how to make a cake. Give them some tips and pointers. I mean. How hard is it to go on Pinterest and watch YouTube videos!?! Then maybe they will learn how to do a cake. The chocolate cake was a basic meh cake. The spiced cake was ok. But again the crumb was terrible. It was like eating sand. The only saving Grace was the pumpkin cake. It was underbaked, but it was at least edible and enjoyable.... Until we paired with the frosting. And then it was ruined. I was in tears at the thought of this bakery being our only option for our wedding. We already wasted $25 for a tasting. Luckily we pushed back the wedding now have proper time to look for a bakery who does cakes from scratch and not from boxer mix. I won't have to worry about anyone getting sick because of the Crisco and sugar paste. Or having someone inhale the crumbs and I have to do CPR at the wedding.

This year we discovered Sweets & Smiles, and I can honestly say they made our celebration even more special. We ordered the White Chocolate Raspberry Cake, and it was absolutely outstanding! The cake was beautifully decorated, making it the centerpiece of our celebration. Every bite was incredible--the cake itself was moist and tender, the raspberry filling added the perfect burst of flavor, and the white chocolate buttercream was so delicious we were practically licking it off our plates. Every single person at the table commented on how wonderful it was. Thank you, Sweets & Smiles, for creating a cake that was as memorable as the occasion itself. We'll definitely be back for future family celebrations!

They must think they don't need to try any harder since they have a reputation in the community, but to me their reputation is for being hateful, rude, and mean to customers. I normally like to support small business, but I'll go to Dunkin over this place.

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Gardner's Orchard with my children, and it was truly an…read moreexceptional experience. The opportunity for them to interact with and pet the baby animals was both educational and inspiring, especially since we do not have animals at home. The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. A 5-star rating does not seem sufficient to reflect the quality of what Gardner's Orchard offers--this is truly a 10-star experience. It was particularly meaningful to see how approachable and manageable it can be to care for animals such as chickens, which has encouraged me to consider this opportunity for my own children. I would like to sincerely thank your team for the effort, dedication, and care you invest in creating such a welcoming environment for the community. It is evident that a great deal of hard work goes into maintaining this beautiful place and providing such enriching experiences for families.

Cakes & Creams in Branson is such a fun little treat stop if you're in town and want really yummy…read moredessert. It has that classic vacation town feeling where getting ice cream just feels like part of the whole trip. Plus they have funnel cake and how can you not stop for funnel cake?! Great spot to cool off after walking around all day too! They have a lot of options, so it's easy to find something that sounds good whether you want pizza, hot dogs, a burger, ice cream, cake, or something extra sweet. Portions were generous in traditional diner fashion, everything was delish as well! Inside can get busy, especially during peak tourist times when we were there, so expect a little chaos and line movement going slow depending when you go. That's pretty normal for Branson, but worth knowing if you're tired or in a hurry. Overall, a pretty great stop!

We ordered the chicken pot pie and ham and cheddar ones. They are very large in size and stuffed full. The chicken pot pie one had a seasoning in it that I didn't quite like, almost curry but it wasn't curry. The ham and cheddar one was very good. We also bought some other flavors from the freezer to bring back home to try. If we lived closer I def would come back and try the baked goods, the scone looked amazing.
