I remember when…read morethe sweet husband and wife opened a little storefront on Patterson years ago and their salted chocolate caramel cake became our standard for every birthday celebration for the past twenty years or so. Now they seem to be expanding to multiple pop ups in the same block of Cary street which is awesome! Kudos for all those years of hard work!! The cakes are simply the best in Richmond. They're pricey but totally worth the splurge! I'm not a huge fan on the little teeny tiny caramel sauce they give you on the side... if i remember correctly it used to be drizzled right on top of the cake!! When it's separate it really isn't the same consistency, it's kinda grainy, and it's definitely not enough caramel!! We tried the black and white cake recently which is also great but salted caramel is my ride or die. I'm a serious fan of their new market which is a fab place for late night sugar cravings. The cocktails, coffee and savory offerings all look delicious too. I think the little pop up trailer is adorable and the vibes are great with so many cute things from plants to pup toys. I've always been a fan of Shyndigz and I'm glad to see them continue to expand!!

She also bakes coconut cookies, but I haven't tried those yet. You can call her or order from her website. She does not have a storefront bakery. Following is the info from Karen Stanley's website: "Karen's Coconut Cake is a blend of yellow cake, several creams, and choice ingredients that make the cake extremely moist and the icing uniquely light, smooth and flavorful. Karen's Coconut Cake is a single layer for easy serving and refrigeration storage. Depending on the size of the slice, this cake has fed as many as 24 people at food tastings or as few as 8 very hungry guests." $40 per cake Size: 9" x 13" (Approx. 8-10 large slices)

Featuring a changing/rotating menu of cookies, pies, and cakes, this quaint shop was recently opened by a local Richmond family with the dream of feeding your soul one baked good at a time! At their soft opening over the weekend, I sampled just about everything they had to offer. Not only are the sweet tears gorgeous to look at, they are also ridiculously delicious. Of the three cookie choices, the dark chocolate chip cookie with sea salt was my favorite. Rich, buttery, with the perfect balance of salt, sweet, and semi-bitter dark chocolate. Perfectly crunchy edges with a soft, chewy center. The decadent Death by Chocolate brownie was also a knockout. I'm still trying to understand what voodoo magic was used to create the perfectly crisp edges and the sublimely moist, chewy center! While delectable by itself, I fully intend to go back for more to make a brownie sundae next time I need to eat my feelings. At the suggestion of one of the kiddos behind the counter, I opted for the carrot cake over the berry pie. Hard to go wrong here with this classic cake and it definitely did not disappoint. It's on par with any southern grandma's cake but only better! Pies and Cakes also does custom orders with advanced notice! Prior to the brick and mortar, we ordered cakes for several special occasions that were always as beautifully decorated as they were tasty! And as if all this weren't enough, they will have bi-monthly pizza pop ups featuring their very own homemade sourdough! Pizza nights will be pre-order only and will be announced via social media so make sure and follow for updates!

They even tried to think of places that would have what I was looking for. Everything looked so delicious. I asked if they ever made zucchini bread because my family loves that this time of year. They had just made some and offered me a sample. It was so delicious! I ended up coming back after shipping out a package. It was a nice quiet bakery with a lovely homey feel. You can tell they're popular and sell out quickly but they're not a big high end bakery. Definitely a must try.
