    Emmeli's Cake was an amazing choice for my Mother's 75th birthday party. She went above and beyond to make a beautiful cake for our special event. She even did this on the day, after coming home from her family vacation. Everybody commented on it and enjoyed it. I will definitely use this place if I ever need it for another occasion.

    Recreation of a favorite "stuffy"

    We wanted a cute little cake made for our 2 year olds birthday. She had a sad COVID non party day, so we wanted it to be special. Her favorite thing in the world is this ratty little snow leopard toy. So we had it designed around that favorite. The figurine on top is SO cute. To be honest it doesn't look exactly like her stuffed animal, but it's pretty good. I wasn't thrilled with the black and white frosting though. I wish it would have been more colorful. It was a cocoa chiffon cake with raspberry mousse filling and chocolate chunks. Unfortunately the cake itself was very dry. Not sure if it dries out from refrigeration or if it was the cake itself. The mousse was good. Creamy and light. I'm not sure what the frosting was on the outside. It sort of tasted like a really light, whipped buttercream? It was alright. We were happy to pay the expensive price for the Joy it brought our kid. But the cost didn't really match the taste.

    Beautiful, affordable, delicious, and totally custom cakes! Emmeli emailed with me directly helping me make the perfect cake for my dads birthday. I live in SF and can't be home in Boise to celebrate with him. She helped me pick specific flavors of cake, filling, and cream that he would like; devils good cake with blueberry cream filling. I love the cool modern design of the cake that was beautiful but not too feminine for my dad. My mom said it was the best came she has ever tasted. They lived close enough for delivery. I only wish I could try it myself! have to order myself a cake when I'm home next!

    a dress made out of cupcakes

    Highest recommendations!! The taste and the customer service were unmatched!! My family flew from Fl to Boise for a wedding. We ordered cupcakes from Emmeli for the bridal shower. The cupcakes were beautiful and my aunt (and the bride) LOVED them! Emmeli created the exact design that I requested. The only guidance she had was a photo from Pinterest. Emmeli walked in the rain to make sure we received our order. She ensured the cupcakes were covered and protected. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the cupcakes at the restaurant and was so patient and kind!! I will be sure to order form here again when I return to Idaho for the baby shower.

    Beautiful cupcakes delivered to my Boise State student for her birthday. Emmeli's was great to work with, and she created lemon-vanilla cupcakes with strawberry and raspberry mouse frosting with gold sprinkle accent. Exquisite!

    Our 2 year old's Sesame Street birthday cake! The inside was even more gorgeous with perfect bright rainbow layers!

    Emmeli made an amazing Sesame Street birthday cake for our 2 year old's birthday party. She was so easy to work with- we did everything over email (so convenient!) and I had no concerns because she communicates so clearly. I could tell she understood what we wanted and she provided helpful tips on size, flavors etc. I only wish we had taken a picture of the cake sliced into because the six rainbow layers were gorgeous!!! There was a collective gasp when we cut into it- absolutely stunning. She will be my go-to for all future cakes! Can't recommend highly enough!

    Was searching for a bakery which can make a custom cake (dark chocolate raspberry macaron cake). She came back with a delicious sounding rendition. When we asked if we can stick to the original request, she did so with no hesitation. It came out perfect, the subtle sweetness paired well with the tart fruit. Perfect for what we're looking for and exceeded our expectations. All this was done quickly and affordable. Next time we need some baked good for a special occasion or just a sweet treat. This will be our first stop.

    Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake

    I went to Emmeli's for a custom cheesecake for my SO's birthday. Her favorite flavor combination is raspberry lemon. After checking her flavor guide page on her website I figured it would be an easy job for her, and it was! The order process was quick, easy, and efficient. The cheesecake was seriously so good, and her pricing makes it all the more desirable, I will definitely be ordering more from Emmeli's soon!

    My beautiful wedding cake Emmeli did, I wanted edible gold glitter. It was so delicious! (My florist added the flowers)

    Emmeli is the best. I found her at a wedding show and ended up hiring her to do my wedding cake. She let me pick any flavors we wanted, we did 3-tiers with 3 flavors...she even did an almond poppyseed for my hubby. It was beautiful and absolutely delicious, the best part was the anniversary cake that she included in her fee 1 year later in the same style and flavor. It was so special! Highly recommend, she is very sweet and easy to work with!

    Our beautiful (and absolutely DELICIOUS) wedding cake made by Emmeli.

    I couldn't sleep last night so of course I decided to do some research on some local bakeries in…read moreour area. I am always down for something sweet! I have driven by this shop a million times but never got the chance to make it in. After checking out all their photos and goodies off their website, making my way in today was a must. The shop is very small and intimate. You are immediately greeted by all the goodies as soon as you walk in. Colorful macarons, the cutest cheesecakes and beautifully displayed scones and muffins. The display case is nice and bright, allowing you to be able to see the details and coloring of each macaron. The pretty piping on the cheesecake. The fun layers of the cakes. It was hard not to want one of each thing out of the case. It was our first visit for my daughter and I. As a new customer, you're trying to absorb everything about this store. You want to look at all your options! The gal that initially was going to help us pretty much just stood there and stared at us. Didn't really talk to us. Didn't ask if we had any questions. She had the most unpleasant look on her face. It honestly made me feel so unwanted and uncomfortable to be at the shop. I offered to let another customer go ahead of us so she wasn't just standing there waiting for us to order something. The second customer also needed some time. Finally a gentleman came in and she got him some coffee started. Another gal was working and she helped us. At that point, I was so turned off about getting anything but we were already there so we decided to grab a few things. My daughter and I decided to share a 6 pack of macarons. We snagged lemon, birthday cake, coffee, chocolate, creme brulee and cookies and cream as our flavor choices. She also got a red velvet cheesecake for us to share after dinner tonight. On our ride home, we broke that box of macarons open and had to try them all. The lemon was sweet and tangy, I love the lemon custard in the middle. Birthday cake reminds me of a pink frosted animal cookie. The chocolate was my favorite! Very chocolate forward and sweet. Coffee reminded me of a vanilla latte in cookie form. Cookies and cream was much like cookies and cream ice cream. More cream forward and less chocolate cookie. Creme brulee had sugar toasted on top which created a slight bitterness to the cookie but it was balanced with how sweet the cookie was. All 6 macarons were fabulous! I look forward to having the red velvet cheesecake after dinner tonight. I like that there are so many gluten free options at this bakery. I adore how petite and prettily decorated the pastries were. I appreciate that this joint is local as I love supporting local businesses. But, first impressions are so huge for me and my first impression of their customer service wasn't there for me. You can push out great products all you want but how you make someone feel during their purchase can make or break your business. As fantastic as my macarons were, all I can think about was how uncomfortable I was when I was just being stared at. Macarons and cheesecake can be purchased at a few joints in our valley. I'm happy I got to enjoy some goodies with my daughter but I'm going to go support another local business that will actually make me feel like a valued customer and not a bother.

    I remembered that Flourish has mini cakes. Just needed a serving for two for my husband's birthday…read more And what a winner this German chocolate cake was! And gluten free to boot. It was a work of art with delicious flavor!

I felt very valued as a new customer, & I felt confident in choosing options with her help. I appreciated the creative flavors in the macarons, & though I didn't personally care for all the flavors... they were all fun to try & made it fun to have a "tasting adventure" later at home. The creativity here is think this would be a great place to pre order macarons etc to go with afternoon tea. Invite those friends over & make it a fun night in!

    Ok I was here awhile back and there's not much to say. I stopped here on my way to an event that my…read moregym was putting on. I stopped in for doughnuts...because that makes sense, right? Headed to gym event, but needed doughnuts haha! Did they have them? Nnnnnnope! Made me very sad. This place sells their cookies in WinCo and I think Whole Foods. Their cookies are RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING! I could easily eat a bag of 8 in probably half a day lol. Then I'd get all depressed because my bikini wouldn't fit right :( So when I asked about the doughnuts she said they haven't been making them and I think she said it was because of staffing issues. Thanks to the virus and people now refusing to work because the government is giving them too much in unemployment, this is the case with way too many restaurants, bakeries, etc. That's my subtle jab at the current government and what they're doing to the country lol! So I left without doughnuts BUUUUT I did buy a bag of cookies. The same bag I could have bought at WinCo or Whole Foods. She said basically everything they did that morning was make the cookies for the stores and she watched them leave to take them to the stores. Exciting! I felt all guilty as soon as I bit into one of the cookies but OMFG THEY ARE SO GOOD! Have y'all ever been to a crumbl? If you have one where you live GOOOOO! This places cookies are basically they lower calorie version of Crumbl because some Crumbl cookies have 850 calories in ONE cookie hahahaha! Is it worth it tho? Absolutely lol So are these cookies, but if you are trying to watch your calorie intake then maybe stay away because you can tear through a bag of these with ease. Chocolate crinkle and snickerdoodles are my go-to's! Ooooooh! Ok, y'all, WTF is with the twist ties you used to tie up the bags of cookies? STOP using those! They are literally THE WORST! I'm sure they're cost effective but stop! I'm also sure with selling to those two major grocery stores plus selling them in your bakery that you can absolutely afford to use better ties, ones that we can actually open and reuse vs these where you can't just open them, you have to cut the top of the bag and then basically...the bag is useless after that. I know this sounds petty, but ugh they're they worst! Aside from that, this place is super nice. It's in a very weird location tho, I was surprised by that. It's like the only sit down place on this street. Across from them is a warehouse of some sort, half a block up are homes, it's just seems like it would be better on the north end, or NW Boise, basically anywhere other than where it is lol. The staff is super sweet, the ones that were there lol. I'll definitely be going back. Glad my first experience there was a decent one even if they didn't have doughnuts for my heffa ass hahahaha! Thanks for reading, Yelpiiteees! Cheers!

    I was in the area on Valentine's day and saw this bakery. I have been down Orchard a couple times…read morethis month and never saw it. I was pulling onto Orchard by the Idaho Youth Ranch and saw their sign. I needed to stop in and see what kind of goodies they had. Walking in, you're greeted by their menu. Lots of goodies to choose from. I appreciate that this bakery uses gut friendly sourdough. My friend who I normally buy my sourdough from decided to take a break from baking. So now I'm trying to find someone who can compare to her delicious sourdough. The store is awkwardly set up. Racks separating the bakery from the store front. If someone is standing in front of the bread rack, you're pretty much stuck until they move. The front of the bread rack is what leads to the front door. But, as congested as it was, the racks and shelves were perfectly stocked loaves of sliced sourdough bread, cookies and rolls. It was overwhelming trying to check everything out without fearing you might bump into someone. They only had a couple options for the sweet goods, I honestly thought there would be more for Valentine's day. There were quite a few options of savory goods. The lady behind the counter said they had a late start so that could possibly be why there weren't many sweets available. I did grab a red velvet cinnamon roll and some chocolate chip cookies for a couple of my Valentines. I was interested in getting a loaf of sourdough for my husband. The only loaves they had available were kinda small. I was hoping for something bigger loaf that would last us for more than meal. The cookies were a hit with my family. I did have some of my daughter's red velvet cinnamon roll. It was killer. The cinnamon roll was soft and flavorful from the chocolate. The frosting on top added an extra touch of sweetness. I only had a couple bites but I could have polished it off easily. Not gonna lie, those 2 things I got were pricey. The singular cinnamon roll was 7+ bucks. It was a decent size but pricey for just 1 roll. The cookies were 4 to a package and at a similar price point or more. For those 2 items my total was 20 bucks. With people budgeting their money now a days, bread and pastries from this joint would be considered a luxury. People want a good amount of bang for their buck. What I got today was good but I don't see myself coming regularly when there's other local bakers that can make the same product for a portion of the cost. My interaction with the gal behind the counter was ok. She was more chatty with a couple regular guests. I'm happy I got to stop into this local bakery and grab a couple things.

    10+ dollars for a loaf of bread...yeah ..right...that's a joke...not a professional bakery...read more
