    a variety of cupcakes
    Rachel A.

    The BEST bakery in Erie (you heard it here)!! Incredible selection of baked goods that can be bought in store or ordered! The cupcakes are the best ones I've ever had and bakers are incredibly kind and helpful! They are creative and always have a full case of something new to try (not to mention fun baked goods for celebrations and holidays). Nestled in between other shops in West 12th Plaza, Icing on the Lake is the place I could find myself driving to for a single cupcake!

    I went first thing in the morning before we drove over to Niagara. These ladies are SO NICE. I cannot stress enough how awesome it is to walk into bright smiling faces. We were all swooning of a cute puppy named Poppy which helped. Haha I went in for dog treats, as we were road trippin' with our lady babes. But mainly I went in for some gluten free cupcakes. I was really pleased with them. Definitely gave me the sugar boost I needed during that trip to Niagara and then back home. Thanks for being inclusive and making sure us food allergy folks have options! I definitely wish I had taken more photos of the interior!

    Creme puff so good!
    Bryan C.

    Short review but anything from this bakery is amazing! I've had the cupcakes (my favorite was the vanilla one and I'm normally a chocolate person), cookies (amazing!) and the cream puffs that typically are sold out if you don't call ahead to reserve one. I'd say the cream puffs are really the thing you have to try if you only can choose one thing because of it's size, good price, and it's perfect for any weather! You'll enjoy whatever you get here regardless so definitely stop by! The parking is super easy since it's in a plaza with a spacious lot and the staff are super nice! COVID precautions are being taken with social distancing, limiting people inside, and contactless payments/sanitizing. If you're in town and craving some dessert pop in by, especially if you're going to drop by Presque Isle soon afterward like I did!

    This is a cool little vending machine. There is no bakery. It is next to a restaurant called LUCERO. Kind of confusing. Also when you click on an item you don't know whether or not it is vegan or gluten-free. But the items look yummy!

    strawberry fields

    I am a huge fan of trying out all the bakeries in the area when I go on vacation. In my opinion, this adorable little spot hands down takes the cake for best bakery in Erie. I visited on a Saturday morning and the bakery was booming. The little shop was full of people picking up orders and trying to place new ones. However despite the rush, service was very fast and the displays were full. I managed to slip in and out within 10 minutes. Their main specialty seems to be cakes, although they had alot more to offer such as macroons, cookies, and cake pops. I only tried a cupcake but everything looked amazing. Some cupcake flavors they had were triple chocolate, blueberry, strawberry fields, and the classic chocolate and vanilla. While I was a bit bummed they did not have coffee on the menu, my disappointment turned into excitement when I noticed they sold vegan cupcakes. And let me tell you, it was THE BEST VEGAN CUPCAKE I have ever had! In my experience, most times vegan cupcakes tend to be very dry and crumbly. But not this one! It was extremely moist and barely any crumbs, (which my car was thankful for since I couldn't wait to get home to try it.) This will definitely be my new favorite stop each time I visit the lake!

    Anniversary cake

    So professional!! Not only is this bakery adorable but it is clean, and full of happy, talented bakers!! I had a simple, rustic cake in mind for a 25th anniversary party. IOTL exceeded my hopes and expectations ten fold!! The cake was gorgeous!!! Well done! This bakery gets it right in so many ways. Note: Cake topper shown in photo was provided by Solid Ideas.

    Cookie dough and hot fudge sundae cupcakes
    Kerrington K.

    Cute bakery with tons of choices! They rotate certain cupcake flavors daily and always have the basics. Tons of cookie flavors and cookie sandwiches. Offer vegan and gluten free baked goods as well. I got a double chocolate cookie dough cupcake, hot fudge sundae cupcake and a red velvet cookie sandwich. Grandma got a cookie that didn't even make it the car ride home. Cake part of the cupcake was on the basic side but the frosting and toppings take it to the next level. Really enjoyed the cookie sandwich.

    Chocolate peanut butter cake
    Sarah R.

    Such a fabulous and charming bakery! We ordered a cake for my moms birthday last minute this morning (wooops) and they were more than happy to prepare one for us by the afternoon! The inside has a vintage feel and the ladies working were extremely kind! I still can't express how appreciative I am that they were able to whip up a cake in such a short amount of time. We ordered a chocolate peanut butter cake and it was delicious. The chocolate cake was moist and light and the icing wasn't too sweet, which was perfect! We got a cake that feeds around 12 people and it cost $42. We will definitely be back soon to try some of their other baked goods and this will definitely be my go to place for ordering cakes!

    Vanilla cupcake, lemon cupcake, vanilla macaron, BlackBerry macaron
    Elizabeth K.

    I've been wanting to go and try this place for a while and I finally got around to it. They do close a little early during the week but their cupcakes make up for it. The icing is not too sugary and just the right amount. The cupcake itself is moist. They could be a little more moist (I prefer them to be the kind where they're tacky on the fingertips) but considering I bought pre-made I understand how the moisture would fade overtime. The lemon cupcake had just the right amount of lemon flavor. The jelly inside had the most lemon flavor which balanced with the lemon flavored icing which had a hint of lemon to it. Normally when you think of lemon my mind goes to lemon squares with that overzealous lemon flavor that just fills your whole mouth. These lemon cupcakes were not like that. They were perfectly balanced and gave you just enough lemon flavor to satisfy any lemon craving. The vanilla cupcake was similar to the level of the lemon cupcake but without the filling. Most of the vanilla flavoring was in the icing. Both macaroons had a crunchy outside and a decently chewy inside with the right amount of cream filling with each part being perfectly balanced with the other. The flavors again, were not overly intoxicating and gave you just the right amount to satisfy that flavor craving. Normally, I don't like too many sugary treats, they tends to make me nauseous. So for these treats to be as balanced as they were, I could have 2 and be satisfied (normally I'm a mini cupcake eater one at a time only please ), so for those who like sugary treats you could probably eat half a dozen and not get sick.

    My husband brought me home 3 delicious gluten free cupcakes and 1 gluten free cookie. I've been searching for gluten free delicious tasting baked good since forever. Plus my pregnant belly realllllly wanted sweets. These treats were soft, stayed in one piece while I ate every bite and didn't taste gluten free. They tasted like cupcakes and cookies should taste! Thank you to my husband and Icing on the Lake

    Yum! A friend bought me a dozen macarons, and they were so tasty! I'd for-sure eat some again (and buy some if I lived in Erie!)

    This café is small yet open and airy with high ceilings. At first glance, the menu is typical diner…read morefood with comparable prices but a little bit nicer in preparation and presentation. You can add avocado, which is always a big selling point for me. They have various breads and rolls made in house, including a cheesy garlic. I had a chicken sandwich. One son had a hot dog, the other chicken tenders. everything was well made and served promptly. The only thing I didn't like is the sandwiches came with chips made in house instead of fries unless you paid extra, and the chips were kind of bland. Service is great. The space is lovely. I think I'll try breakfast next time we're in the area. I think it's available all day.

    Wonderful breakfast spot!! Staff welcomes you with a smile. Quite the extensive menu, and they…read moreserve lunch as well! I ordered the Country Fried Steak Breakfast with a side of potato pancakes, which was fantastic! It was served perfectly, and the portion was generous. Prices are very reasonable. Located in front of the Copperleaf Apartments, it's a very cute area. They also offer outdoor seating, weather permitting, which is quite a nice feature. As in their name, they are a bakery as well. Upon entering, you can view their cases displaying all the baked goods... which looks delicious. I highly recommend it, and I will definitely be going back!
