    Pupcakes

    I've officially found my favorite local bakery! We found this little treasure while walking around downtown. The exterior looked very inviting so we ventured in. The owner and staff member were both very friendly and we engaged in a genuine conversation. The bakery displayed a generous number of dessert options, each one looked absolutely delicious. We decided to try a few: an a blueberry muffin (yum), Oreo cheesecake (super yum) and a warm cinnamon roll (omg! Ridiculously good). They had utensils, napkins, and nice to-go containers. Although the bakery offers two nice tables out front, there is also tons of seating within walking distance. We didn't make it far before tearing into our desserts. I highly recommend stopping by Eat Cakes Bakery. I'll definitely be going back soon.

    The name sounds like a command that many of us would be glad to obey, and the flags in the window are a magnet to any transplanted Ohioans. Add to that a friendly owner and a tantalizing selection (cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, brownies, bars, and more - alas, no buckeyes), and Eat Cakes holds a lot of promise. That said, what we tried didn't hit the mark. A chocolate croissant was doughy rather than light and flaky. A chocolate peanut butter bar delivered exactly the right flavors, but it was also a bit dry. I wouldn't rule out giving Eat Cakes another try, but I would likely go with another selection (the cupcakes looked good) if I were to do so.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. We recently moved to Kannapolis and Ms. Donna's Bakery was the first place we visited. She was so nice as we came right before closing. She talked with us and welcomed us to the neighborhood. While the service is great, the baked goods are TOP NOTCH. I recommend a giant cinnamon roll or a seasonal fruit flavored scone.

    Left to right: Apple pie(?) cheese bar, pumpkin chocolate chip cheesecake bar, cinnamon roll that wasn't heated up yet.

    A really quaint bakery in downtown Kannapolis. I've only been once so far. When I walked in, the staff was talking to an employee from next door, but I was greeted after a minute. I got a cinnamon roll and some cheesecake bars to take home. All of them were delicious. I'm ashamed to admit I ate like half of it all for breakfast that day. I want to come back and try other cheesecake bars because they had some unique and seasonal flavors and cheesecake is, like, my favorite dessert.

    I love this place! They keep getting better and better and more creative as time goes on! Each piece of cheesecake bar or other dessert is around $5 and they are massive! I love the vision of this place. Everyone has always been super sweet and helpful!

    This bakery is a gem that's worth it!! I've visited the bakery twice and have not been disappointed yet. Today's find - BANANA PUDDING CUPCAKES!!! Oh. My. Gosh. Can you say "Ah-mazing"!? My soul smiled with every bite and the banana pudding surprise on the inside made my heart sing joyful praises. If you haven't made your way to this gem, GO!! It's worth the trip and every bite after. Disclaimer: I forgot to take a pic before I dove into the cupcake, so you get what you get. Lol!!!

    Donna is the best. The Cinnamon Rolls are my get out of jail free card with my wife. Food is great, conversation is just as pleasant.

    I came in the door.... I said it before, never has a cake magnetized me more!…read more On this Good Friday, I walked into a homemade cake lovers paradise. I purchased a strawberry shortcake, homemade pound cake with buttercream icing and the banana pudding cake. Just tasted all three and these are not from a box. They each have a unique flavor, texture and look, simply beautiful creations. Every detail of these cakes seems thoughtful and well executed. The banana is iced and a moist batter with light cream and decorated with little Nilla wafers. Confession: I didn't love the flavor. I couldn't taste much banana. The strawberry had the same crumb topping as the strawberry shortcake, ice cream and an entire middle layer of cream. I was there for it. The old fashioned frosted pound cake was nearly perfect, but I could taste the baking soda in the cake. I paid $4.50 per slice. I thought that price was fair, for a tall, generous slice. Also there is a $10 surcharge if you purchase a full cake out of the display. They also had a good looking peach cobbler on offer for $3.50 a serving, and a line out the door! The service was fine. I asked the woman serving, if she was Katrina. She said "no." Whoever Katrina is.... She could be crowned, Kannapolis Cakery Queen.

    The Strawberry Crunch Cake is delicious with soft strawberry flavored cake in the middle and cram…read morecheese frosting with crunch on the outside! The service was fast with very friendly employee. I would recommend Desserts by Katrina
