Cake Hope & Love is such a lovely cake shop. Nestled in a cute little nook of shops, the shop is…read morewarm, welcoming, and sweet. The moment you step through the door you are met with a welcoming smile and "hello"! As you step in the smell of sweet treats completely surround you. The atmosphere is fun and bright, perfect for all the confections they make. I had come across cake, hope, love while searching for shop that does custom cakes. I had spoken with them about custom fairy cakes for a birthday. They were very helpful and super accommodating. I can't tell you how many times I kept adding special requests for the order, but despite all of that, they were always so kind and so understanding. The cakes turned out fantastic! They were exactly what I was hoping for. When you are putting in your custom order they ask how you would like your cake to look, sending them pictures for cake ideas is helpful. They sincerely want your experience to be a good one, and because of that, they are thorough in the quality of each order. The cakes were a hit and so delicious. I have a weakness for cake, and sweet eats, and the strawberry cake I ordered probably saw more of me than anyone else. Lol, it was worth it! The cakes were delicious and satisfying, and the designs turned out fantastic. They took the right amount of time and care in curating two very amazing cakes. They offer other goodies and treats in their shop if you aren't looking for a custom cake, and they are on doordash too. So if you are like me and just want to nibble some sweet eats, the convenience of ordering through doordash is simple and quick. Check them out on the website and you'll see the options offered for different occasions. You can also reach out to them through email, phone, and/ or the website for requests and estimates on orders. They are easy to reach and get back with you fairly quick. So if you're in their neighborhood, pop in and check them out. I hope your experience will be as good as mine was.

Our family orders them for every birthday- except one because she asks for apple pie- and the cake never goes to waste. At least one slice is enjoyed by a member of the family every day until it is gone. We are also able to accommodate for our picky kiddos by ordering a cupcake when they don't like the cake flavor their sibling has picked for their birthday.

I'm from Cincinnati and am always looking for GF/DF bakeries around the area that I can try (since…read moreI have a love for sweets but have the GF/DF limitation). So when I found Purely Sweet Bakery on Instagram, I was super excited and wanted to try them the next time I was in the Dayton area. Since I don't live close by, I ended up buying everything that was GF/DF. I wasn't sure how long they had been sitting out, but I found majority of the items to be dry. Good flavor, but dry. I've had cookies and bars other places near me that are GF/DF and not dry...the only difference I can think of is that I was able to get those items fresh, whereas with these being on the shelf, maybe was the difference. Or maybe the cookies were meant to be a crunchy cookie. Chocolate Chip Cookies - good flavor, crumbly Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies - good flavor, crumbly Oatmeal Cream Pie - dry and too sweet for me Buckeye Donut - delightful flavor, very dense and a lot of icing, but I know that kept it on the moist side. Cinnamon Roll - great flavor, but still dry on the inside even after heating it up per instruction. Sticky Bun - great flavor, but dry on the inside as well after heating up. 6 Layer Bar - too too sweet for me Salted Carmel Cookie Bar - too sweet for me What I'll probably do next time is order some of the items ahead of time and pick them up day of. All in all, I'm always a huge fan of bakeries that have allergen friendly items and create baked goods for us allergen peeps to partake in. I give a shout out of appreciation to you. Thank you!

The croissant was impressive-it tasted like I was back in Paris. It just felt like I was in my hotel lobby having breakfast with all the paper products. I opted for an assortment of to go pastries to try--almond croissant, lemon blueberry scone, and coffee cake. They were all pretty delicious, except the scone. The coffee cake was the best.

I find myself going back for the pastries in the refrigerated case weekly.
