She created a strawberry bourbon masterpiece that was both gorgeous AND delicious! My parents were absolutely delighted with this scrumptious sensation. Her price was incredibly reasonable, and Crystal was so easy to work with. You should order from her before she's too busy to take your order. We are already planning our next event just to order from her again! Thank you so much Crystal!

It was VERY short notice, but Crystal responded to my inquiries quickly, was able to make suggestions that worked for a quick turn around AND some specific requests! We settled on summer-y strawberry topped cupcakes that were PERFECT - the topping was light and refreshing (not overbearingly sweet like so many commercial desserts these days). A delicious ending for our celebratory dinner!!

Checked out The Lincoln Inn while in town for camp at the college…read more It's a nice spot, and the food was good. We started with two cups of cream of chicken rice soup and was surprised that this bakery didn't offer rolls with the soup, so I chose to use the toast from the meal I ordered. It worked perfectly. I will add that soup was served barely lukewarm. Not ideal, but we ate it. Next, we ordered a Tuna Melt with fries and a Lincoln Inn Special. We both agreed the food was good. Our server was very nice. She was attentive and assisted when asked. We also ordered the Strawberry Crepes to go. But we couldn't stop there, lol. While at the register, there were cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls, so we grabbed one of each. We enjoyed those a little later while we waited for our child who was at the camp. Both were delicious! I think it's great how the photos of many years are going across the walls and that they support the local college and their sports. Such a nice touch. There was a gentleman who came over and introduced himself and asked if I knew anyone in the photos. I do not recall his name. He was kind and told me about the photos and about how he created one in particular which was rather impressive.

They have music playing in the background. The room is nice and cold and a great break from the hot outside weather. You may have to bring a sweater if you don't like it too cold.

There are lots of food items and love that they have fresh baked cookies too. My husband ordered the Corned Beef Hash with eggs over easy. Pancakes without powdered sugar and sugar free syrup.
