I believe it is more popular for take outs, I see in and out traffic. I enjoyed looking on its displays specially of their fruit designed pastries. A unique presentation of each flavor.

So far, I enjoyed my visit here.

They truly made the best out of a stressful situation and saved my son's birthday!

Many minutes later parked the car and went to the shop which notes open until 8pm and call if door not open. I went, it was closed O(see pix) I called and left a message. I did some shopping in a few other stores in the area and then left. More than two hours later I got a phone reply that they were out. Clearly. Must be a business landline. What I was told from one of the other merchants is that they take orders and do very nice specialty cakes. They also have their own agenda of when they are there and not. So for other bakery needs go to the bakery down the block at Riesterer"s. I did. I can not say how good Sunflower bakery foods are. If I should have a need for some particular specialty cake that another bakery can't make, I could always their number. Other than that I have nothing else to say,

The Super Mario decal was not centered and there was a wrinkle on the left side of the decal. It appears that the wrinkle is from a break in the cake and there was an attempt to cover the mistake. When mentioning to the staff the mistakes, I was presented with a "sorry". As a patron who has used this company for over several years, I am highly disappointed in the quality and response. The quality of this cake appears to be one of an amateur and not worth the $90 spent. Please review the photos shared below.

I still decided to try it out! wait time was about 25 minutes until we got serviced. We got an individual cheese cake ($6), french pastry (oreo solo cheesecake) ($7.45), elephant ear ($6,75), and small iced coffee ($4.50). it was 4 items for $25. The original cheesecake had a sour ting to it. The oreo cheesecake was better but both were not amazing. The elephant ear pastry was stale but a large size (see pic). The coffee is from la columbe beans. Overall, I was not impressed with my first time here. Items are overpriced for the quality. Not a must try for your first time unfortunately
