Uh oh. Look out. Next door to Happy Days Dinner in Mineral Wells is "Dry Creek Farm Barns and…read moreBakery". Oh my. I had to force myself out the door because I'm a sweet-aholic. When you walk in the door you are offered a sample of coffee or tea. Then you immerse yourself in shopping for some of the best looking sweet treats and other great kitchen Knick Knacks. My wife has recently started drinking leaf tea. They had the perfect cup (see picture below). I couldn't resist taking home some lemon bars, chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting, and snickerdoodle's. Not all of the snickerdoodle's made it home . I cannot begin to describe the snickerdoodle. Most are a glorified sugar cookie with cinnamon. Not these. The cinnamon has a different flavor than most. Not super strong. The cookie itself reminds me of a gingerbread cookie in color only. The texture is akin to a Teacake cookie. And the cookie is not as sweet as most snickerdoodle's. I want more. I can't wait to try the other sweets. All I have to say is it's a good thing I don't live close. Thank you for the hospitality and for making such a delicious cookie. UPDATE: The chicken salad was so good. Loved the crunch of the finely chopped onions and celery. The pimentos added a nice touch. The chicken had some chunks that added to the texture of the salad. Spices were used sparingly. I couldn't single out the taste of an individual spice. To me that's just right. Then I couldn't tell if it was mayonnaise or yogurt used to blend the flavors. Oh and I was told they used egg. Overall it is a fantastic salad, though, my wife wouldn't touch it. Didn't have her grapes and nuts. The cupcake was very good. The cake was like a real chocolate cake. Not as spongy as most cupcakes. Soft and moist. The frosting is a chocolate cream cheese frosting. Not what I was expecting. I was expecting something akin to the icing on an Italian Cream Cheese cake with a more noticeable cream cheese taste flavored with cocoa. Don't get me wrong. It was good .... just wasn't what I was expecting. Kind of like picking up your tea glass only to find it's filled with soda. One more to go. At Dry Creek Farm Barn & Bakery, North Oak Avenue, Mineral Wells, TX

There were multiple flavors and it was hard to decide on one flavor with so many great selections. We went with the dark chocolate and peppermint. It was light, fluffy and very tasty. She also offered a "sample" aka whole cup of her tea. Don't miss this little gem if you are driving through Mineral Wells.

The first time I had Italian cream cake from Lida's was in the 80s and I have never tasted a…read morebetter cake. It was AWESOME. Over the years I have had that same cake two other timesand it has always been really good until this year, 2025. I ordered it on Friday, picked it up on a Monday expecting a wonderful fresh cake. It was more like three days old. Very dry and I was very disappointed. I spoke to others about this and they all agreed that Lida's is just not as good as they used to be. I don't know if it's just a new generation of bakers or what, but I could not give them a five star. They did have the cake ready because like I said it was a three day old cake. But you shouldn't have to pay $17 for a three day old cake. I could've taken it back but we had company coming and I cannot bake like I used to due to my health so we ate it . But we were disappointed.

I spoke with the cake decorator to ask if what I wanted could be done, and she said it could. I picked up my cake on Jan 25th, and it was PERFECT! It was exactly what I asked for. The cake was beautiful! Every single thing I asked for was done perfectly! The lady who brought the cake out to us even gave us specific instructions about how to carry and open the box to avoid messing up the cake. When I served the cake at my party, several people asked me where I got the cake because it was so pretty AND it was so good! The cake was moist, and the icing was just the right amount (not too much or too little). People are quick to complain, but not many send compliments. I want everyone to know that this cake, and the people who made it are exceptional! They deserve praise for their work!
