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.

While roaming around Pittsburg, we spotted the ice cream statuette in front of Sweet Designs Cakery…read moreand decided to stop in. I'm honestly not sure if it was gelato or ice cream in their small case but they only offered four flavors and my husband and I were both taken by the wonderful bakery smell and cute cupcakes in the case, so we went for those instead. They are quite a bit smaller in size than most bakery-style cupcakes but the price is also lower, so it evened out nicely. We enjoyed our strawberry and cherry limeade choices, and the presentation was VERY cute...but the cake itself was not too impressive. My cherry limeade cupcake didn't taste of lime at all to me and was extremely crumbly. The frosting, however, was fantastic by both of our standards and we sometimes disagree on frosting so it's bound to be pretty good. We also agreed that we would probably get one of their frosted cookies and a cup of coffee when we return in the future. They have a cute little area with vintage style seating and it's very comfortable in the shop.

Cake was perfect texture - light and moist. Frosting ratio was perfect. Nice to have a small business providing quality product. They had items besides cupcakes, too, that looked good. Owner is friendly and helpful. Storefront is small but does have a few tables if you want to eat a treat there.

I normally like to support small business, but I'll go to Dunkin over this place.

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.

He kept telling me I wanted the regular old fashioned rolls because they were cheaper. I was not concerned about price at all but he insisted. I finally just ordered 3 old fashioned and 3 specialty sweet cream rolls. As he walked away he rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders like I had done something wrong. The person behind me even noticed and commented she couldn't understand why he was trying to get me to order the regular old fashioned rolls when I clearly wasn't interested. She also saw him roll his eyes. The rolls were good but we will not be back with that kind of customer service!

The ambiance of this place is fun and retro. There is a main jukebox at the front and smaller options at some of the tables. The menu included about six different pies and several types of cheesecake. There were also several ice cream options as well as diner food, like burgers and dogs and sandwiches. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who eats.

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!
