    Fraise - Strawberry Shortcake
    Victoria B.

    You cannot go wrong with anything you purchase at Desserts by Design. I highly recommend their cakes, which they have a large variety for walk-ins. The pound cake, cupcakes, and specialty cakes are the best. Service (even for busy holidays) is always exceptional.

    Have you ever dreaded when birthdays, holidays, and special occasions come up and you have to purchase a cake? You know plenty of bakeries, but your mind still goes blank because nothing they make is memorable... That's how I felt until I peeked into my list of bookmarks and decided to try Desserts By Design. This business has been in my bookmarks collecting dust for several years... With regret behind me now, I can say that my juggling "just ok" cakes and cookies is over. This bakery here has the most satisfying baked goods. The woman who I'm guessing is Mrs. Design is a very sweet and welcoming person.. The interior is bright and clean, a great selection, and a menu provided that describes every option for your order. I'm so glad that I finally tried this bakery. No more decisions to make on where to place my orders.

    Love this bakery! We ordered the Chocolate Delight which is a dense and moist chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and we all loved it!! The bakery is in a very nice small town in Audubon. The owner/manager and staff are very nice and helpful. We also ordered a variety of cookies, $14/lb, they're smaller sizes, so delicious that we can't stop eating them, light and crispy melt in your mouth. We also highly recommend their cream cheese bars, blueberry crumb cake. We still have to try their pies and pound cakes.

    Orange Cake and Coconut Cake... Both so delicious!

    Just the most delicious desserts baked and sold by the very nicest people. They are literally as sweet as you would hope to find in a dessert shop!

    Mini desserts- Oreo, key lime, fruit tart, caramel, carrot cake and eclair.
    Linda L.

    Desserts by Design has a wide selection of desserts that are reasonably priced and taste delicious. Cupcakes, muffins, pretzels, different size cakes, mini desserts, etc. The mini desserts are weighed so there isn't exact pricing on them. The owner took the time to explain each cake which I really appreciated because there wasn't a label for the encased display section of the bakery. I really enjoyed the Crème brûlée, and in the mini desserts- the fruit tart, key lime, caramel, and the carrot cake. Definitely worth checking out. If you are looking for sugar-free options, there aren't any so keep that in mind. There is no minimum card purchase requirement but the owner had mention preferably cash for purchases of $10 or less. There is street parking only. 4.5/5

    They don't take Apple Pay. It was very hot inside. Looks old. I left without ordering, didn't like the vibe.

Their pretzel rolls are completely underrated, as well as their pretzels, jalapeño pretzel bites and pepperoni cheese pretzel things. .

Tons of fresh bread smells fill the air, and carts are loaded with different baked goods throughout the space. However, the conveyor belt that hangs above does drop constant bread flakes, and the floor becomes very slippery, which is a legitimate safety concern. With so many carts full of product sitting out, it does make you wonder how long some of the baked goods have been left out. I ordered three large subs online the day before to be prepped for a birthday party we were headed to in Atlantic City the following day. Unfortunately, the staff didn't realize this on their end, and the pickup got extended to 15-20 minutes later with extra help from the back. I think with the rushed work needed, the sandwiches suffered from this. There wasn't much meat and cheese at the end of the sandwiches, and the flavors were just okay, nothing special. The donuts ended up being a little hard with a sort of wet feeling to them. The regular cheesecake slice tasted more like cottage cheese and not much like normal cheesecake, which was disappointing. For a bakery with such a long-standing reputation in the community, I expected better quality control, especially for a pre-ordered party order.

    I've been enjoying McMillan's for well over 20 years, so this review is long overdue. Their…read moreclassic, chocolate frosted donut is an unrivaled masterpiece: it perfectly straddles the line between dense and fluffy, and the donut itself (not counting the delicious chocolate fudge frosting) isn't actually that sweet, unlike many modern competitors. Their Boston creme with chocolate frosting is also one of the best I've ever had of that variety. Apple cider and pumpkin are two of their absolute best seasonal flavors. McMillan's does NOT do weird gimmicky donuts with fruity pebbles or bacon or lord-knows-what-else on top. They just make damn good old-school donuts and pastries. There's a reason that Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook specifically called out McMillan's donuts as some of the best in the country. While donuts are the cornerstone of this family-run bakery, McMillan's offers so much more than that. One of their lesser-known gems is the tea biscuit with raisins - just crumbly, buttery perfection. Their cakes are never disappointing, and they do an excellent job with decorating them (if that's something you want - if so, just call ahead). They make pretty good seasonal pies, as well. The fruit-filled danishes are great, and they do a nice job with their muffins and sticky buns. We've also gotten dinner rolls before, and they were solid (although with Del Buono's and Deluxe nearby, the roll competition is stiff!). I LOVE bakeries and I visit them wherever I travel. When it comes to donuts, very few (perhaps none) have stood up to McMillan's in terms of overall quality and value. I will be utterly devastated if this place ever closes.

    They are closing for good on Sunday May 18, 2025.
