A few months ago my sister and I hosted a baby shower for our other sister and after looking around an options we decided to go with McLains. It was a smaller group, and we were doing a brunch theme, and our sister LOVES sweets. That paired with our desire to support local, and our shared love of McLains, this was just the most obvious choice. We ended up ordering a cake and first of all I have to say their cake flavor choices are insane - I think we settled on a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling (YUM), but I don't think you can go wrong here. We also ordered one of their pre-set pastry bundles for pick up and honestly everything was wonderful. I think I placed the order about a week out and it was ready when I came to pick it up. What pushed this experience into five star category for me? Just the friendliness of the staff, the serving tools they send you home with, and how thoughtful everyone was. The food was also really just exactly what we needed and it was so good there were hardly any leftovers, I think the kids cleared us out by lunch! At any rate, if you're on the hunt for a great spot to support for your next brunch event consider McLains - they won't let you down!

Our wedding cake from Lynne was fantastic! I planned my wedding from out of town, and Lynne was…read moreextremely accommodating. She gave my mom a bunch of samples so that we could taste everything when we were in town, and she was very flexible about later meeting with us the one weekend in town we had available. Beyond that, her books were full of great ideas, and she was very open to doing different flavor combinations. For instance, we wanted a German chocolate cake layer, and she made the cake and special frosting from scratch! Most importantly, the cake got rave reviews at our wedding. It looked beautiful and tasted great! Highly recommend.

I would NOT recommend this baker to anyone who is looking for someone reliable. I had arranged to…read morepick up a replica cake topper for our first anniversary. When I arrived the owner of the shop was not there, upon waiting for 15 minutes I finally called the emergency number on the front door of the store. The owner answered and told me she was not even out of bed yet and even though I had arranged for a 10:30am pick up time she would not be in until 3:30 that afternoon. On top of that she did nothing to try and solve the problem or make up for her lack of professionalism, she also did not apologize. So instead of enjoying our 1st anniversary I spent all day scrambling to find a baker to quickly bake a cake for us. I will not be a returning customer and I will not be referring anyone to this business.

Finally, the service is always good here. Every single person is friendly. it doesn't matter if you come alone or with a group. I had a coughing fit in the middle of the store, which other than being wildly embarrassing was a great time for them to highlight their free water right up front. They also have some gluten sensitive options, which I appreciate for the folks they work with her gluten-free and they have puppy treats.

I have always wanted one of their cakes with the icing being a chocolate version instead, I love the regular cream cheese frosting...but chocolate icing just hits differently on chocolate cake. I had every intention on finally trying the chocolate-chocolate chip cake, but when they let me know the Dubai chocolate will discontinue after tomorrow it was a no brainer!!! The filling was a perfect balance of pistachio white chocolate and toasted kataifi, it was so good I ate all of the middle before I touched the cake(: My mom said she also forgot what most of the flavors taste like since we haven't been here in a while, so we took this as an opportunity to get a customized bundtini assortment. She really wanted to try the new seasonal flavor banana pudding cake and her favorite the classic carrot. Added a few lemon and a couple Oreo and confetti. Our server Janice was extremely patient as we made our choices and gave us all the details about how long the seasonal cakes would be in store. So if you're reading this after April 4th, 2026 you might miss the Dubai Chocolate and it's much better than the candy bar or strawberries so run, don't walk!!! Also, have to note that for the lobby area being on the smaller end, it is packed with essentials to complete for all types of celebrations. Mini balloons, cards, themed bears, candles and sets of plates, napkins and utensils. Didn't talk much about the actual cake because it honestly speaks for itself. The brand lets you know it's nothing but Bundt cakes in 3 sizes. Although, I truly wish chocolate icing was available in addition to the vanilla all the time....for the chocolate lovers like me, but I suppose the Dubai will to hold me over until next time(:
