This is a true treasure in a very small town just west of I-35 at the 78 Mile Maker. They are fast…read morebecoming famous in this area for their lovely custom cakes, and their cupcakes, both traditional as well as specialty, cookies and cupcakes. Everything is homemade and so good you will wish you had bought more. While they do have cupcakes on hand to sell, as well as cookies, I have always called ahead for my cakes, so they have plenty of time to work them into baking schedule. This would be my suggestion, but I have never asked if they keep cakes made to decorate in a pinch either? The packing of the cupcakes, and cookies and cakes reflect the care and the pride that Brittany Glenn has in her business. This is the way it should be. People from as far away as Kansas City have now been treated to her wares, as I have ordered several times to take to nursing home, and friends houses. My mother who turned 96 years old today cried when she saw her Angel Food Cake with the White Mountain Frosting. This is the same cake that her mother made for her many years ago. And this was the most tender, wonderful tasting Angel Food Cake ever. This is a must if you want something so good words won't suffice. ***They also have a small clothing shop, consignment in one side, some things new in the other and several very nice furniture/decor items. There simply are not enough stars.

We requested it look "foresty" since our wedding was in Redwood National Park and she absolutely nailed it. She took so much stress off of me by basically designing it herself. I sent the cake topper to her from an Etsy shop and she worked with me through all of that as well! The cake was delicious, beautiful, and delivered right on time as promised. She even helped me understand how to store it and serve it for the best taste. She truly is amazing and I would get my wedding cake from her again if I had to do it all over again. THANK YOU so much for contributing this amazing cake on our special day. I will never forget it!

In the storied enclave of Waldo, where the rhythm of Kansas City pulses with a quiet, neighborly…read morecharm, there stands a sanctuary not of silent stone, but of flour, butter, and memory: McLain's Bakery. To step through its threshold is to surrender to the siren song of warmth that curls from the oven like a whispered secret. I have made it my pilgrimage to traverse the entirety of their menu, a culinary odyssey that has yielded no false steps, only a symphony of consistency that borders on the miraculous. Each offering, from the flaky, golden architecture of their pastries to the robust, honest comfort of their savory fare, is a testament to the artisan's hand. Here, affordability is not a sacrifice of quality but a generous invitation, a rare confluence where the exquisite meets the accessible. There is a certain magic in the air at McLain's, a sweetness that feels woven into the very fabric of the establishment. It is a place that understands the language of comfort, speaking it fluently in the dialect of a perfect crust or the rich, dark notes of a expertly pulled espresso. It is perhaps no surprise that such a bastion of authentic delight has garnered a reputation that extends far beyond our local borders; if the standard of excellence is high enough to grace the plate of Taylor Swift, then surely, it is more than enough for us, the grateful residents who claim this treasure as our own. Yet, beyond the flour-dusted counters and the glowing glass cases, my deepest admiration is reserved for their spirit. In a world that often measures worth in cold, transactional metrics, McLain's chooses to honor those who pour themselves into the future of our community. As a teacher, I feel that recognition in the small gestures, the welcoming nods, and the genuine appreciation they extend to educators. It is a profound kindness, a recognition that the work of shaping minds requires nourishment, both intellectual and literal. They understand that a classroom is a marathon, and they act as the essential pit stop, providing the fuel that keeps the light of inquiry burning bright. To dine at McLain's is to participate in a ritual of belonging. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by the ticking of a clock, but by the turning of the oven trays. It is a reliable heartbeat in the neighborhood, steadfast and true, offering a reprieve from the clamor of the outside world. Whether one seeks a quiet moment of reflection over a cup of coffee or a celebratory feast that honors the simple, profound joy of eating well, McLain's remains an unrivaled steward of taste. It is not merely a bakery; it is the living, breathing soul of Waldo, a place where every bite serves as a reminder that some things in this life are exactly as good as they ought to be.
