I got here about 10 minutes or more after closing. New to the area I decided to peer through the window anyway. The proprietor who was in her car ready to leave after an early morning popped her head out and asked " can I help you?" I said I knew the place was closed but was investigating for the next time. She then asked what I was looking for... a bday cake for my son for a little celebration. She the offered to open the store and show me a little pie cake she'd whipped up from left over batter that morning. A test run she said. I bought it! It was delicious and fresh. Chocolate cake, chocolate pudding and whipped cream ice cream. Perfect for what I needed. I was pleasantly surprised at her willingness to go out of her way to help me. read more

I am from out of state and wanted a cake for my husband while he celebrated his birthday in Florida. I saw the reviews of Cakemasters and thought it would be a great place from which to order one, a German Chocolate one, specifically. Not being super knowledgeable about the area's geography, I found out on the pickup day that the bakery was almost an hour and a half from where we were staying with some bad traffic in Destin. I was cursing my gaffe...until I got the cake. It was wonderful! Lisa baked it that morning and it was so delicious, everyone in the family was raving about how it was one of the best tasting cakes they'd ever had. I did have to add a relative's name to the cake after I picked it up, so please note the picture attached is NOT how she gave it to us. I'd highly recommend Cakemaster's for reasonably priced, delicious cakes! read more

Cakemaster's Bakery II - Cakemaster German Chocolate cake (with an extra name I added after picking it up.) DELICIOUS! - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

My wife and I got married on September 12, 2020 in Santa Rosa Beach Florida and we ordered our wedding cake from Cakemaster's Bakery II. We chose the almond cake with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. Our cake not only tasted amazing, but was also so beautiful. The cake was a white to blue ombre color with gold ribbon at the base. The staff was extremely helpful speaking with me over the phone as my wife and I are from out of state and weren't able to sample cakes before our wedding. We could not have made a better choice. I am sorry that it took me a year to write this review. Anyone needing a cake in this area, please check them out. You will not be disappointed. P. S. -My wife and I celebrated our one year anniversary yesterday, September 12, 2021. We followed the instructions that the bakery gave to us as to how to freeze the top portion of our cake, to be enjoyed again on our one year anniversary. I have to say that the cake tastes just as good now, after one year, as it did on our wedding day. read more

My husband and I decided to do a destination wedding in Destin. We are from Ohio and had to make a few trips to Destin to get all our planning together. I went to a few bakeries and already had in my head what I wanted and a picture of a similar one. We found Cake Masters and talked to the sweet lady who owned the bakery. Did a few cake samples and decided yes we want her to do the cake. We chose a strawberry cake for the bottom layer and a vanilla for the top. We also had her make 12 chocolate cupcakes. I delivered the real starfishes and real shells on a trip down to finalize all are plans. I didn't want edible ones, they did say they could make them it I changed my mind. I was worried about the color or how it would turn out. It was delivered to our outdoor venue that was located on the beach. I didn't see it until that day and at our reception. They nailed it! Exactly what I wanted. Even know it was a dark icing, it was delicious. The cake was moist and tasted wonderful. Thank you so much for completing our special day. I loved it! Beachy but simple. I definitely recommend them. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Lisa for our beautiful cake. We originally were going to get married in Destin but due to covid we ended up changing our wedding and had our first anniversary trip there. We met with Lisa in person to discuss the cake options and try flavors. She was a joy to work with and so down to earth. We finalized planning by phone and text which was just as easy. Our cake turned out phenomenal! We ordered a two tiered cake with almond flavor and white chocolate seashells. We received Cakemasters as a recommendation from family around the area and would highly recommend! She made the entire experience easy from start to finish! read more

Awesome almond birthday cake, I would recommend to others! Cake was made on time, one of the better cakes I have had.

The cake tasted great and the owner was easy to work with. After cake tasting at various places, this cake tasted the best and was the least expensive. We received many compliments! read more

An awesome bakery. Not big, but with a great selection, and their products are delicious. I had an apple fritter (because fruit is part of a balanced breakfast) among other things, and it was the best I've ever had. Along with everything else, it's so nice to buy food that's so amazingly fresh. They also have ice cream for the Picky Stepchild in your group. Be silent, Stepchild, and eat. read more

Still the best bakery in town only now I think you have to order ahead, but the folks are really nice

I'm from out of town and was looking for a birthday cake for my daughter who was visiting Destin. Lisa went out of her way to help me last minute and made exactly what I wanted and arranged delivery. My daughter was so surprised and loved it. Thank you! read more

I'm giving a 5-star review based on the MANY experiences I had at Cakemaster's before the tragedy of their recent move. I am in Fort Walton Beach regularly, but I don't live there, and I don't think I've EVER not gone to Cakemaster's at least once. The sweets are outstanding. The donuts are the best things here. I get a Long John every time. The apple fritter is heaven. Once I got there close to closing time and they gave me a box of glazed donuts for next to nothing and that's exactly how much was left when we got back to the condo. The cannolis and eclairs are also great. The Boston Cream Pie was my dad's favorite. Their cakes and cookies look divine, but I've not tried them all. The people are always super friendly, too, which is important in a small bakery. They are warm and welcoming, really value their customers. They went through some unfortunate events that left them homeless until recently. I was anxious to go back, but the new location isn't as big? Not as much storage? They didn't have any donuts, and the cupcake I tried was not as fresh-tasting as I was accustomed to with Cakemaster's. I hope it was an exception and not the new norm. Either way, I'll be back. read more

Cakemaster's has wonderful cakes, pastries, cannolis, King cakes, cookies, cake pops, mini cakes and a variety of delightful sweet treats. We visited 2 years ago and learned this year, the business had moved and downsized. They don't do donuts anymore, but I will say, theirs was the best! Today we got cheese danishes, cinnamon rolls and a 7 layer New Orleans almond cake with chocolate icing! All were delightful! The owner is a sweetheart! Give Cakemaster's a try! It's important to support small local businesses! yum! read more

I ordered a cake for my parents 60th wedding anniversary. I called about a week before and gave a vague idea of what I wanted. I live in another state also so I needed for it to work out just right so I would have it to surprise them. I simply stated how many people I had and that I wanted a pretty cake fitting for the big 60! I picked the flavors and put it in their hands. When I picked it up I was shocked at how beautiful it was! I didn't expect such detail and beauty for 120 bucks! The cake was delicious and everyone was very impressed with it, especially my parents. My family gathered from different states for this and I wanted everything to be perfect. It really exceeded my expectations. read more

All my wife wanted was a German chocolate cake for her birthday. We were from out of town and rolled the dice. I'm glad I chose Cakemasters because my wife absolutely loved the cake! It was the best she had ever had. read more

Wife got me the mocha cake with chocolate custard filling and German chocolate topping for my birthday...best cake I've ever had. Going to get my wife the same cake for her birthday just so I can have it again! Also, the owner was the nicest woman and a pleasure to do business with. My wife told her I loved cannoli's so she gave her one for free to give to me. read more

Lovely little bakery for sweets and treats. Here's what you need to know about Cakemaster's, my wife and I got an eclair and a cannoli to share. One of us (not naming names) ate more than their half. It led to one of the biggest fights of our marriage. #notjoking Nice little store, very friendly staff. It smells incredible inside, I have to drag my wife out. Prices are very fair. I was not impressed by their French bread. It had a thick dry crust, soft crumb, and a very fine hole structure. It reminded me more of an overcooked Chicago-Italian bread than a French Batard. But bread doesn't seem to be their specialty. If it was "Breadmasters" I'd judge them more harshly on that. All of the sweets we've tried have been superb. It's a little dark and feels dated inside. read more

This place already won my heart years ago with their bread baking skills. Now they offer YUMMY gourmet sandwiches. My only concern is the limited hours for walk-in orders: Tuesday from 10am to 2pm. They're generally open until 4pm all week. Being a relatively new service I've found if you call ahead with an order for pick up they don't mind the business: 850-862-4911. The menu offers 10 chef inspired sandwiches or create your own Snack Attack. Enjoy fresh baked, hand-crafted breads with Boar's Head meats & cheeses topped with crisp veggies and a delectable selection of home-made dressings. The panini grill just seals the deal! Our favorites to date are 1) The Cuban 2) The California 3) a Snack Attack w/seeded hard-roll, German butter cheese and Boar's Head hard salami. All sandwiches come with a paper wrapped pickle, chips or potato salad. Said potato salad reminds me of Long Board Larry's. It's a sour cream and bacon variety that's pretty tasty. I can't wait to try The Panhandle Riviera which consists of asparagus tips, brie, and smoked turkey piled on a tarragon buttered French baguette then toasted in the beloved panini grill. After that maybe we'll venture to the Arthichoke & Proscuitto or perhaps the chicken Mediterranean? Thursdays equates to rye-baking day. In addition to the regular baked goods they also make the famous light and dark, German rye breads and the savory, salt and caraway pretzels. They still stock those decadent pastries and believe it or not...a few come sugar free. Beware the bread attack on Mondays -- they're closed! read more

Worst cannoli I have ever had. After one bite, I considered returning as it was expensive. I would not even give one star if that option was available. Soggy and no taste what so ever. It was shockingly bad. The crispie was grocery store quality at best and overpriced. read more

Judging by the name alone, I knew this would be my kind of place but then they put a sign out front advertising Cuban sandwiches and I had to go. First of all, the place just smells really good. (There was a pitiful lack of bakeries in Oklahoma.) Everything looked really good too and I almost rethought what I was about to order. The sandwich was delicious (big enough for two and possibly among the best I've had ) and served with a side of potato salad. I also a bought a couple of raisin and chocolate chip cookies. I can't wait to go back. read more

This is a great little local non-chain bakery. They offer a variety of pastries which are delicious and, obviously, cakes. I just stopped by for an AM pick-me-up and got a cinnamon twist donut and an almond danish. Both were delicious! The cinnamon twist had a slight chewiness to it which I liked. The danish was excellent. Price-wise they aren't a super deal but it's probably worth it to pay a few cents more for fresh pastries than save a bit at D&Ds. read more

Best wedding cake I've ever had! Picked up the cake the morning of my son's wedding-- it was exactly as ordered and ready to go. I liked that it looked handmade. It was the lightest, fluffiest, cake and buttercream frosting I have ever eaten. Many compliments from guests at the wedding too! read more

In the U.S. this is the best German bakery I've come across, after Germany. I'm temporarily not living in the Northwest Panhandle, but whenever I visit the panhandle, my first stop is the Cakemaster's Bakery. This is so far the best bakery I found in the U.S. I was surprised when I learned that they moved. However, I found where they're at now. So for Christmas I'm going to visit the Cakemaster's Bakery again and will have a great Christmas with their wonderful German pastries. Thank you to the Baker in Cakemaster's Bakery! read more

Absolutely delicious and definitely made from scratch, unlike other bakeries in this area. I had purchased an edible cake topper online and asked if cake masters would mind applying it on a cake they were making for me. They were more than willing and actually explained how I would need to store the topper. We won't go anywhere else for our cakes and other baked goodies. read more

Best carrot cake in the world! And I am a very picky eater, okay?!?! These nice people made me a last minute carrot cake with cream cheese icing for my parents 35th anniversary in 24 hours. I appreciated that so much and it was absolutely amazing and they even told me how to keep it until the gathering that evening. It was so gorgeous and the cake was moist. My parents loved it and so did all our guest. If you are from out of town, like us, and need a cake definitely give them a try. They are the best "mom-pop" bakery I have come cross in a while read more

The cake I got my girlfriend a year ago looked awesome and it tasted great. I asked for a cat cake design since my girlfriend is a crazy catlady and the results looked colorful and on point. It definitely looked like a cat. The first bite we took we pretty much had a mouthgasm. The taste was superb and the texture was nice and moist. I wish I could post a picture but I don't have one on my phone and I honestly don't want to look through my labtop it my girlfriend's labtop. The order I made last year was so good that I'm going to make a similar order again this year from them :) read more

We ordered a sheet cake for a birthday picked it up and it looked great took it home and the cake was stale and hard and the icing tasted like food coloring. Never again will I go here the cake was 25.00 dollars for a sheet cake a quarter one I will bake my own read more

Picked up some cookies, cupcakes, and a chocolate cream pie for a party. Everyone seemed to like them. The ladies that worked there were very friendly and helpful. read more

Nice little family owned bakery that you cannot help but to love. Everything is homemade and really good. They have a large selection of sweets and top notch breads for such a small little place. I am not to sure about the new direction they have been going with the sandwiches, have not tried them yet. Lisa is a real treat too, she definitely is not your run of the mill baker. read more

My brother ordered a coconut birthday cake- and promised me it would be as good as the local bakery in Indiana that we remember from growing up- I was doubtful that his assertion would be true....HOWEVER! This was the BEST cake I have tasted in a very long time. Very moist, light icing, soooooo fresh! It exceeded expectations. Thank you so much for a very memorable birthday cake for a visiting Hoosier, who also loves to bake! read more

I have never, ever tasted a cannoli that terrible in my life! I should have read the other review about them because it was soggy and tasteless, I spit it out and I really cannot believe anyone would dare sell that to anyone let alone try to pass it off as a cannoli. Two stars because the brownie was good or it would have been 0! read more

I thought they were a great bakery until I had paid $50 for my 3yrs olds b-day cake and I got it home had the party got ready to do cake, cut it & it was the wrong cake inside. I call & after telling them what had happened they then said oh they forgot to charge me $20 and that they were going to call & tell me so they said lets call it even!!! I could not believe it! Not even an apology!! Not the bakery for me!! read more

My husband ordered a cake for my birthday as we were in Fort Walton on vacation. Our entire family was so disappointed with this cake :( It was very heavy and soggy, I don't even know how they kept it together to ice it. The "lemon" filling tasted like vanilla pudding and the "cream cheese" icing tasted like Crisco and sugar. My husband felt terrible and we will be making our own birthday cake when we get home! read more

This is a real bakery! Great selection of pastries, cakes, pies, and cookies. This is where the locals get their baked goods and it's easy to see why. Their cheese danish is only second to the ones I used to get in Brooklyn. Their fresh doughnuts are always a hit at my office. The only thing I haven't tried yet are their sandwiches. Cakemasters is top notch in my book. read more

Amazing staff! I called the bakery on Thursday afternoon wanting cupcakes that the bakery did not have readily available and they were able to make them within 2 hours for pickup! I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of cupcake I received! I can't wait to order more!! Keep up the great work. read more
