Amanda is very responsive and truly wants to create desserts with your vision in mind. Her prices…read moreare really reasonable, and she is so willing to work with any requests you may have....such as baking a gooseberry pie for the groom's "cake." I am truly excited to see how everything turns out- both the eye "candy" of how beautiful it will all look, and also how amazing it will all taste! Can't wait until October 4 , 2022! Definitely will use Amanda for all my dessert needs in the future! Update: Cannot say enough AMAZING things about Amanda, her work, how yummy her baked goods taste, and how hard she works to make sure you get what you want, and that it is PERFECT! She did our wedding cake and groom's pie (he doesn't like cake).....however, Amanda is such a great baker that he loved her cake! For our 1-year anniversary I will definitely have Amanda make some goodies to celebrate along with another gooseberry pie for his birthday in August! Cannot wait to taste those amazing, sweet treats! Thanks Amanda!!!

Yum Yum Yum. I love me some Rose's Creamery. They have tons of flavor options and all of them are…read moretasty. If you are not feeling ice cream they do have options for smoothies, slush chai tea, and coffee. I actually have never been to their physical location. I always just see them when I am at events around the area and they bring their food truck! I have heard that their pies are pretty good which you can get at the physical storefront. Definitely check them out. Friendly staff and pretty quick service. I am a fan.

Went to their food truck at the Kiowa rodeo. I sampled the Caramel Fudge Crunch and was shocked to…read moretaste peanuts (the flavor placard only featured chocolate and caramel drizzle). I then said such and was told (rudely) that it contains peanuts. I am severely allergic to nuts. Their flavors are listed on placards just stating the flavor w/ absolutely no indication of a nut allergen (which is illegal ). The only allergen signage I saw was in the back on the freezers, primarily out of view of customers and just said something about cross contamination I believe. Once I was told it was nuts I explained how it would've been nice for the allergen to be disclosed because I am allergic, to which the woman working responded with ZERO empathy, concern, or even a simple "sorry". Because of their carelessness I had to miss the majority of the event I paid for and go in an ambulance. Today we contacted the owner over the phone and were met with nothing but a rude, defensive and arrogant response. He took zero responsibility, never apologized, never sounded understanding, and blamed me (the girl who could've died) for the entire incident. This lack of disclosure and disregard for laws and consumer safety could have easily killed someone. Peanuts are the most common allergy ESPECIALLY among YOUNG CHILDREN. Imagine it was a 5 year old instead of me. Edit: I immediately contacted my parents and went to EMS. I was laughing because I was in shock and scared of going into anaphylaxis (laughter is a common defense mechanism). I was 17 at the time (18 now) and am extremely informed on how to manage my allergies and have been taught since a young age. Yes I should've asked BUT there should be some sort of allergy indicator on the flavor placard, which is all I'm asking for. I ordered another flavor along with a water as a means to wash down the allergen in my system (a technique that anyone with food allergies can recognize). Bottom line is customer service was subpar (never received an apology) and there should be some sort of indication of allergies ON THE FLAVOR PLACARD.

An overnight trip in Pueblo plus a really bad sweet tooth took me directly to Bite Me Cake, and I'm…read moreglad for it. I am rarely this far south so am unfamiliar with the bakery options around town; Bite Me was one of the closest, highest rated spots right near the hotel I was staying in. The photos and vibe looked really great based on others' reviews, so I decided to stop in late on a Saturday not to get my sugar fix lol. The atmosphere is fun, and the mish mash of sweets, games, and a downstairs bar I think is super unique and also makes this place more appealing for people that want to bring kids around earlier in the day. Despite going late (I think it was around 8?), the arcade was pretty full of people, which was a great sign. The bakery case and menu is at the back, and there was one very sweet girl (no pun intended lol) running the counter. Even for the time, there were lots of options that all looked like they were pretty good and not obviously stale or old from the day which I really appreciated. There is also ice cream and a refrigerator case of goodies in addition to what's shown here, as well as various beverages you can purchase. I decided to splurge on a cherry cupcake, a cheesecake cookie with cherries, and a brookie. The total was around $12 or so, which was pretty reasonable. I took my treats back to the hotel to enjoy them while watching a show, and they were all delicious! Definitely satisfied my craving for something sweet after a long day. I think this place would be very fun for a date night or a small family outing during the day, presuming it's isn't busy inside as it seems like it can easily feel crowded. Parking is available on the street and may be a bit of a challenge depending on the day and time you stop in, but the downtown area is pretty walkable and more parking accommodations can be found further away. Stop in if you get a chance! I probably will next time I'm in town.

I definitely want to try their custom cakes sometime, everything looks so pretty here!

I've ordered my mom cupcakes from this place regularly, either as treats for her office or for…read morespecial occasion deliveries. They have gluten free options so it works for everyone. I finally decided to stop in this cute little shop and try it for myself... had to do it for the Yelp! And omg I'm so glad I did. The berry tilly cupcake is absolutely amazing! Seriously I have no idea how they get the cake so soft. I'm usually a chocolate girl but every single white cake cupcake from this place is so good. The chocolate cupcakes are delicious but it's more like a dense dark chocolate cake... while it hit the spot, the texture wasn't like the berry tilly. I also tried the chocolate cream pie based on a recommendation from the staff and I was pleasantly surprised! They have a great team working the counter. I plan on going back to try more from the menu and ordering a custom cake for a bday!

We've been a couple times on our summer visit to WP. the soft serve in a waffle cone is a crowd favorite. The first time I had a peach/tart froyo twist in a waffle cone. The second time, I had Vallie ice cream in a waffle cone. Both were excellent! My daughter got a chocolate ice cream cup with candy toppings on her first visit and an Oreo shake the second time around. In the evening, they have wood burning fire pits going surrounded by Adirondack chairs. It's the perfect spot to indulge a sweet tooth and let the kids roam a bit.
