    Naked Carrot Cake
    Jon E.

    We selected Lilac City Bakery for our wedding cake and amenity cookies for our guest. My husband is Colombian, and they offered us a traditional cookie as an option for our wedding. Amber and the team at Lilac City were AMAZING! The cake looked exactly like the inspirational pictures I gave her. Also, Danny is not a fan of sweets, and she customized the cake flavor and ingredients to please Danny on our wedding day. People are still talking about both the cake and the cookies.

    Yum!

    One caveat about Lilac City Bakery - any of their baked goodies you see on display have likely been sitting there a while. We went in ... wow! It all looks so enticing. We wanted to grab a couple muffins for the road. I asked for this one that had a crumble and icing swirl on top. She said it was blueberry. Cool! I'm guessing it's got some great, wild, locally sourced blueberries inside this huge muffin. NOPE! It's basically a golden cake muffin and, this one in particular, had 3 TINY almost dried (like the bag you get at Costco) blueberries. The whole muffin was D-R-Y! Sad, because I had high (expectations) hopes for a nice treat from these folks. It did have good flavor but, c'mon! It was basically crumble frosted dry yellow cake. And for $3.50! I may have to think a while about returning for a third-time's-the-charm visit....

    Ordered my son's 1st birthday cake from here and i was blown away by what Lilac City Bakery created for him. Everything from the communication i had with the bakery, to the design of the cake, and to the flavor & taste of the cake was great. My family plans to order more custom cakes from them in the future.

    12.00 grilled cheese. The picture makes it look bigger and better than it was. (In our opinion)

    Came for a panini. Glad my sister had a gift card. They were out of turkey and had grilled cheese....staff was friendly. Grilled cheese was/is sub par for the 12.00 they charged. Cheese was gloppy and bread was thin.

    These were some of the best cupcakes I've ever had! We got eight recently for my sister's birthday and they still taste fresh even the next day. There's always new flavors and they're always delicious! They're fluffy and delicate and the frosting is always so creamy. There's honestly a cupcake for everyone :)! The atmosphere is also pretty cute on the inside and they have nice lighting, the workers are also very nice and I always have an amazing experience!

    Red Velvet cup cake to go.

    Interior space is great, but both cupcakes were a disappointment. Dry, sickly sweet with little flavor. There are better cupcakes out of a box.

    Do not walk in here if you're hungry and easily tempted by sweets because you'llwalk out with several kilos of muffins or other pastries. The smell knocks you over and then the customer service is so good that one wants to buy a wheel barrow load full of goodies. Actually ignore what I said about don't come in hungry. Absolutely do! Food is great. Flat breads are awesome. Soup is terrific. New fave place in Spokane.

    Caramel chocolate cheesecake

    We had a cinnamon roll that was still warm and fresh out of the oven and it was amazing! We also had a piece of the chocolate caramel cheesecake and it was delicious. Great service and the people who helped us were very nice. The decorations were so cute and they made a really good setting.

    Cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting ...

    Clean large space which would easy to bring a group. Beautiful presentation and parings of flavors for cupcakes. A bit pricey and yet each cupcake is perfection. The entrance to the bakery is on the side of the building near the patio...it's not well marked. They have many gluten free options...there are muffins , cinnamon rolls, cookies and giant rice crispy treats (yummy). They did have individually wrapped pound type cakes/banana breads.

    Delightful cupcakes

    Birthday cupcakes for me! Pumpkin  cream cheese Red velvet cream cheese Hot butteren rum Apple bourbon pie

    My husband went in today to buy gluten free cupcakes as a treat for my birthday. Happy to find gluten free cupcakes but not at $5 a piece. It was too late to put some back as they were already boxed up. We really feel discriminated against when businesses like yours price gouge people with allergies and diseases. I know gluten free flour costs more (as I myself am a baker) but you don't have to do a 100% mark up for that flour. Your cupcakes tasted phenomenal but when your competitors are half the price we unfortunately won't be returning customers.

    I ordered a custom cake (over the phone - I am in CA) for my daughter's birthday. I described to them what I wanted and WOW! I was amazed how beautiful the cake turned out! And it was super delicious too! I ordered a chocolate cake w/ cream cheese filling. Will DEFINITELY order from them again and again and again! I also frequent the bakery when I am in town and enjoy their delicious baked goods! So fresh, delicious and reasonably priced!

    Best cake ever! Moist, awesome design. Birthday attendees said it was the best cake they ever had…read more- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

    We were so disappointed in our experience with Happy Cake Co. We always like to support locally…read morewhen we can. My husband and I got married on the 20th of December in a small ceremony to save money for a larger reception next year. We didn't plan on getting a cake bc we had such a tight budget, but my mom wanted us to have something to freeze for our anniversary so she ordered us a cake from here to surprise us and make our day a little more special. She ordered over the phone and then needed to make a change so she called back to change the writing on the cake. She asked the guy who she spoke to if she needed to email the information over and he said no and that he had it covered. My mom decided to email the information over anyway just to be safe. This was 1 month before the wedding. The day of, my dad picked it up, he didn't know what it was supposed to look like, but mentioned it didn't look great to my mom later when we arrived to the venue. When she opened the box it wasn't even close to what she ordered. Not even before she made the changes. We asked specifically for our last name in black writing and a certain font which they said they could do. We received an all white cake without our last name and the writing was not straight nor the font we requested. It almost looked like they forgot about us and went to the grocery store really quick. At this point it was too late to do anything and we were all leaving town for the holidays the next day so we left it in the box at dinner, skipped the cake cutting together and just took it home. We decided we would come talk to them after Christmas. We had a few bites out of it, but ended up throwing it away because it just wasn't very good anyway and by the time we got to talk to an employee, it would have been bad. Dec 26th my mom went in to see if we could have it remade so we could freeze it for our anniversary or refunded. The owner had the most disrespectful attitude saying between "ALL of the calls and emails" he couldn't keep up, and it was her fault. Mind you the cake wasn't even close to her original order either... He said he would refund her if we brought the original cake in (a week later). He kept trying to make her feel stupid with snide comments... Thankfully she stood her ground and didn't accept anything less than a full refund which he eventually gave her after arguing with her and making her cry, saying we should just be thankful they even made it in the first place because they normally don't even do things for "as cheap as $50" As she was walking out he said to her "If they still have the cake you should try it because it's really good..." as I mentioned before we threw it away because it was not very good... The whole experience was just very disheartening. We had heard such good things and maybe this was a one off situation, but we have a reception planned for over 200 people next year and we will absolutely not be ordering from here again. We are also in the event community and won't be sending recommendations here any longer after our personal experience. Making a mistake is one thing. Things happen especially around the holidays, but to push blame and verbally insult another person as a business owner is another. We are incredibly disappointed. Pictures of the email for clarification with photo examples and the cake we received.

    Being a professional photographer for 10 years, I've kiiiiiiinda become a wedding cake connoisseur…read more Marsell's is at the top for taste and appearance. Their cakes are flavorful, soft and light. My favorite are the lavender petit fours!! I've also hired Marsell's for my sister's 40th b-day cake as well as my son's baseball themed party. The 80's themed cake was AMAZING and the talk of the party. They did such a fantastic job. I will say (as with any successful wedding cake bakery), they book up quickly especially during wedding season. So no procrastinating!! If you want your perfect cake, call them at least 3 weeks prior! (Pictures attached were provided by Marsell's)

    What a lovely experience I had this morning while I stumbled upon this place. There's a small…read moredisplay of assorted cupcakes and cookies. I had the pleasure of chatting it up with Marsell's (owner's) husband and he told me how the shop came to be as well as how Marsell turned her hobby into a career. I chose the lavender cupcake (one of the top sellers) at $2.50 each, which was really delicious, I particularly liked the after taste, wasn't too strong. The lavender flavor took over 1.5 years in the making! The texture was just right, the cream inside the cupcake was a nice surprise and not too sweet. I hope to try the strawberry lemonade next time! The decor inside the shop was also very "homey." I hope this mom & pop shop continues to succeed!
