We stopped into CakeWalk just five minutes before closing, and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. They were happy to let us take our time browsing and choosing a few treats, which we really appreciated. We picked out three different cupcake flavors, and every one of them was beautiful and delicious. My personal favorite was the Dark Knight cupcake--rich and decadent. If you're in Northfield and have a sweet tooth, be sure to check out this cute little bakery. It's definitely worth a stop! read more

Cakewalk is all about unique desserts and creative cake offerings. I came for the cake, but I also ended up trying my first dirty soda here; a delightful mix of soda, watermelon and pineapple juices, and sweet cream. It paired perfectly with the incredible carrot cheesecake cupcake I ordered. If cake isn't your go-to, they offer cookies and plenty of other treats as well. There's ample seating inside and a bench outside for enjoying your sweets on a nice day. Stay for a bit and treat yourself to something delicious. read more

We found this great shop a couple of years ago, and fell in love with their beautiful desserts. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We ordered six cupcakes, a chocolate chunk cookie, and a cute decorated cookie. The chocolate chunk cookie was okay, but wouldn't purchase again. We also didn't love the chocolate strawberry cupcakes, had an artificial flavor and a little too sweet. We loved the Black velvet, Bugsy, Boston cream, & Black forest. read more

Beautiful, fresh, huge variety of cupcakes! Wonderful cakes made to order. Counter staff willing to offer suggestions of favorites - so many choices - hard to stop selecting once the box is full. Love that this great location is conveniently in my hometown - a perfect destination to cheer up any doldrums! read more

A must stop if your in Northfield. The Yarn crawl girls had to stop and sample.... And bring things home they were that good. Would make the trip from twin cities just to "snack" here!!! read more

Everything here is delicious but I made this review with the sole purpose of advertising their strawberry cheesecake cupcake -- omg. I don't really like cupcakes, but I check their Facebook page every week to see if they have it. If they made it a staple in the case, I'd probably be there every day. Look at their Facebook or stop by and if you see a large cupcake smothered in not too sweet mascarpone frosting, dusted with graham cracker, with a large juicy glazed strawberry on top, GET IT. It's the only decent piece of fruit you'll find at any restaurant in Northfield. My roommate loves the chocolate salted caramel cupcake, and pretty much anything from here is great. Service is quick and prices are great, especially on student discount day! read more

Super friendly and helpful staff. Bought 4 desserts (chocolate tart, cookie, flourless torte and cannoli) and all were very good. We look forward to visiting again when we're in the area. read more

I was shocked to see that Cakewalk advertised gluten-free options. The cupcake was amazing and the filling was great but I still wouldn't consider this a safe place to eat gluten-free food because I couldn't confirm how they prepare the gluten-free cupcakes differently, and they store the gluten-free cupcakes right next to the wheat ones. Delicious if you are not celiac though! read more

Cakewalk - a chocolate cupcake with a strawberry on top - Desserts Near Me - Northfield, Minnesota

Nice small town bakery with some amazing cupcakes, bars and cookies plus so much more. They have it all! It's located downtown Northfield surrounded by lots of cute shops and places to eat and drink. 4 cupcakes, 3 HUGE bars, and a giant cookie cost $26. I felt the prices were very reasonable for the size and quality. There's ample space to sit down and enjoy a sweet treat or take it on the run. read more

Stopped in tonight to pick up a cake for my mother's 80th birthday. After being left to stand at the counter, I moved to where the gal behind the counter could see me, and waited. Finally she asks if I have any questions, where I tell her, yes, I'd like to buy a cake. More waiting. Finally, with a sigh, she stops what she's doing and comes to the counter and tells me she only has vanilla cake. Disappointing to say the least. I left with no cake, and a pretty good idea I have no reason to go back and be treated like that again. read more

Such a cute dessert shop! Stopped in one day and got some so yummy cupcakes! I originally seen them on Facebook!

Picked up 2 cupcakes, wasnt overly happy but will try again. I thought the price was a little high for the size. The girl that helped me was friendly read more

I was in Northfield yesterday and I have a giant sweet tooth and love trying new places so I found myself here after searching on yelp for something decadent. The case was ridiculous and I couldn't decide! I am so indecisive anyways so I asked the girl working for help and she suggested the black velvet cupcake so that's what I got! It was DELISH. Black chocolate cake filled with ganache and topped with a giant cream cheese frosting. Next time I come I will get a peanut butter one because those looked amazing also. The chocolate sea salt caramel was also one of my top contenders. If you are ever in the area, GO HERE!!! read more

Where do I start! I went in to order a cake for my granddaughter and get cupcakes to go. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, made great suggestions and over helped me tremendously. I asked her to just"do something cool" for an 11 year old and they did not disappoint! Super yummy, my granddaughter LOVED it 'they used my favorite colors!' And everyone had nothing except complements. "Not too sweet, cake is like pound cake, really good" so yea. A five star hit. I whole heatedly recommend Cake Walk. Totally worth the drive. You will not be sorry. Great job! read more

Nice friendly employees and the cupcakes are delicious, especially the chocolate gnash one is yummy my favorite. A nice big selection I think I could come and get a different one every day lol. read more

At this point, I've been to Cake Walk at least a dozen times. Probably more. I take cakes to my parents' house in Wisconsin, bring cupcakes to work and occasionally just for my family. The one thing I've noticed that drives me crazy is that the people who work there are very nice, but they don't really have any sense of urgency to get people served. Not everyone enjoys waiting. In fact, I consider myself impatient. On Friday, I stopped in to pick up a cake for my husband's birthday. There were two people in front of me and it took me no less than 20 minutes to be on my way. I was "thisclose" to leaving and stopping at Dairy Queen for an ice cream cake but I knew my man would enjoy the always amazing flour less chocolate cake way more. The young lady working was friendly but slower than molasses in January. Their confections are a pure delight but customer service could use some work. read more

wonderful flourless chocolate cake with raspberry, sugar cookies and every cupcake I purchased (6). this bakery is my all time favorite

The frosting lacked flavor but the texture was good for the Cookies and Cream Cupcake. Sad thing was our kids didn't finish it cause of the taste. I tried it and agreed it wasn't good. Cute name but not good desserts. read more

A bit pricey, but their cupcakes are really delicious. There isn't a cupcake flavor I've tried here that I haven't liked. Maple bacon is my favorite but I haven't seen it in the store in a few years, their availability of each flavor varies by day. There is a flavor for everyone's liking, I recommend trying them out if you're new to Northfield or touring. read more

Always worth the trip. Good selection and great treats. The five layer bars are the best I have had. The cupcakes are always good

A friend recommended I check out Cakewalk on my way through town. I had a dark knight cupcake and my mom had the carrot cake cupcake. Both were yummy! Will be sure to make a stop next time I am passing through or in the area. read more

I'm not a huge sweets fan but have had a couple different things from here. Very satisfied! Anytime I've come through its been very clean with friendly staff. A good place to stop with the kids or if just out on a walk downtown for a treat! 4 stars just because I'm not a huge sweets fan. I can't remember if prices are fair so I can't give 5 just under that. read more

Cake walk never disappoints. The reason i didn't give 5 stars is because of the prices. Their cupcakes seem to be smaller than other bakeries and cakeries in surrounding areas but are more expensive. But don't worry... once you bite into your cupcake you'll forget about the slightly higher price because these cupcakes never disappoint. We purchased our wedding cake from them a little over 5 years ago and their quality has stayed the same, if not gotten better. If you're going through Northfield and craving a delicious treat, then make this place your next destination. read more

Love the cupcakes and bars here! Ok, skipped supper after taking home butter cream cupcakes, lemon barr and cream puff, they were sooo gooood! If watching calories, health food store is West one block and South four. Will go again, staff is very friendly. Tourists, you need to try here also. read more

I had an idea of what I wanted for my daughters birthday cake. We were having a luau in November. I found a picture of the perfect cake on a cake website and sent it to them inquiring if they could make it. They responded to me same day with a yes. I was quite nervous about the whole thing considering I had never used Cake Walk before. No only was the cakes an amazing piece of art it was delicious. The kids even asked for seconds. I picked the almond flavor. It was just amazing!!!! Two layers of deliciousness with the most amazing frosting. read more

Cakewalk - This is the Hawaiian Luau cake they made for my daughter's birthday party!!! AMAZING!! - Desserts Near Me - Northfield, Minnesota

This is definitely the best cake I have ever had in my whole life. They made the cake for my mom's baby shower and it is so beautiful. They are definitely making the cake for her wedding. It is the most delicious cake o have ever had, I'm never eating cake from anywhere else again. Thank you for this amazing experience!!! read more

These are truly the best cupcakes I have ever had in my life. It's worth the drive from apple valley just to get cupcakes but walking around the cute lil town is fun too. I have tried almost ever flavor and there is not one cupcake from here that I don't like. I got my boyfriend addicted to this place too and my best friend. Every weekend I see him he's like wanna go to get cupcakes. Last weekend we tried Amy's cupcakes in Edina, saw it on tv, so my expectations were high. If your on tv you better be good .. right, wrong , it was not even close to the cakewalk. Birthday is in June and so buying myself a birthday cake from here lol The owner and staff are always friendly and the store is always clean and cozy. So delicious and by far the best cupcakes enjoy. Yum yum read more

We were visiting family and my wife cannot resist the chance at a Cupcake find . I consider her a cupcake addict. Her tastes differ from mine, but her cupcake savvy is pretty darn good. We walked in and the first thing I told the lady behind the counter was that these cupcakes made Sprinkles ( if you know cupcakes you know Sprinkles) cupcakes look like 2nd place!!! We picked up a six pack of a nice assortment for later that night for desert. Do the words beautiful, moist , decadent , rich, unique, and Damnnnnn mean anything. They were all that and more. Great end to a great meal and they are priced way better than Sprinkles too!!! We'll be back for more. We also picked up a couple Cannoli's and be warned they are not your traditional cannoli. Filled with mascarpone infused with rum. They looked beatiful, but not traditional with ricotta . Don't get me wrong, they told us this and they were very light and tasty, but not your traditional cannoli. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to these and I'll bet you sell more if you change the filling and dip the ends in pistachio dust and a cherry. JMO See you next time we're in town. GREAT CUPCAKES!!! Slammer!!! read more

I love this place! One of the managers, Paige is super sweet and always gives me the best service! I 100% recommend going here!

Cakewalk is a wonderful little dessert bakery emphasizing on cupcakes, cakes and other various dessert confections. Simply put, they are amazing and a great little alternative to the "big city" places. The cupcakes are reasonable at roughly $3.50 a piece and a decent cake averages $34 on up. Mind you, these are NOT grocery style bakery cakes...they are gourmet cakes all the way around. They also make custom items. My daughter had her birthday cake from here recently and it was divine...it was a white cake with truffles all around the top covered in colored confetti candy. Yummy!!!! read more

Doesn't matter if it's 10 a.m. or 6 p.m. If I'm in Northfield and Cakewalk is open, I'm getting a cupcake from Cakewalk. My personal favorites are any of the fabulous caramel filled chocolate cupcakes- particularly the Snickerlicious or the Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel. Any of the lemon flavors are also yummy- a great balance of brightness and tart sweetness. I'm also partial to the Blueberry Pancake cupcake. Seems appropriate for the 10:00 a.m. sweet-tooth.... Basically what I'm saying is- if it's in the display case, you can't go wrong. When I got engaged, one of the first things I KNEW about our wedding was that I would be having Cakewalk do our desserts. I can't wait to indulge in a tasting and I'm so looking forward to having our guests gush over how delicious our desserts will be! read more

If you're a fan of cupcakes, this place is pretty close to cupcake heaven. My current favorites are the latte cupcake and the peach cupcake. That said, the bars and other desserts are also terrific. IMO, the best bars are the ones in season, which were rhubarb and are now berry. The lemon bars are excellent year-round. For a special occasion for serious chocolate lovers, don't miss the flourless chocolate cake. It comes in both individual and party sizes. Topped with fresh raspberries, this will make even the pickiest chocoholic swoon. Let it come to room temperature for best flavor and texture. On the off-chance there are leftovers (ha!) store in fridge. read more

One of my favorite Northfield businesses ever. They have hand sanitizer by the door and the register and are taking all the precautions. It's easy to stop in to choose a cupcake (or 4) or even call ahead and pickup in front of the store. Thanks for cheering us up with your sweet treats! read more

Used to love Cakewalk, scrumptious! But in the past couple years, they've decreased the size of the cake and most of it just isn't as good. They must use corn syrup in their chocolate icing as its always gluey and stretchy, ugg! No inventive flavors anymore but I guess those didn't sell well, fair enough. What was the last straw was when I tried to order a birthday cake (nothing fancy) for a birthday Feb 16. Tried to order on Feb 12 and was told impossible, too many Valentines Day orders! When reminded we didn't need the cake til 2 days after Valentine's, was told no. I could just pick one out of the freezer, which negates ordering from a bakery. Customer service, splat! I'll go elsewhere, this town has other options. They need a bit of professionalism infused here. read more

Very good cupcakes and bars but the atmosphere and service leaves something to be desired. Will definitely go back for the treats but won't stick around to enjoy them. read more

My go-to cupcake shop. I'm not a Northfield native, but any time I'm in town I make a stop here. Friendly service and delicious baked goods.

Have only tried the cupcakes, they are outstanding. Much better than the acclaimed MOA cupcake place. Will stop in probably every trip through NF. read more

Finger licking good cupcakes. Buy one for yourself and a friend to share. Every flavor was amazing, but I'd suggest waiting a few minutes until the cupcakes are room temperature before eating because it makes a difference. read more

I ordered a cake for my sons 16th birthday that was to look like a DJ turntable. Well, not only was the cake sooo delicious, it looked amazing and for all the work was priced very reasonably. We have been back for cupcakes and desserts and are always pleased with the selection and quality. It is a definite must try! read more
