Had been all over town looking for a place that could make me a custom cake for my husbands…read morebirthday. I needed it for the day after Thanksgiving. Stopped at Cakeland and she said no problem, I can have the cake done for you and even though we won't be open I will come in so you can pick it up. The cake was beautiful but most of all it tasted great. She made a chocolate cake with chocolate gonash. Everyone loved it. I cannot express how wonderful they were for getting this cake done over a holiday and on such short notice. They also make pastries and other wonderful cakes and deserts, I also tried the tiramisu and it was fabulous. I will be back to try some of the other great treats at this bakery.

2 hours into our 4 hour journey, we fancied some cake…read more Travelling with my wife, we looked on our sat nav (GPS for US readers) for places ahead to eat and "Village Bakery" sounded promising. Still a good selection of cakes and donuts on display at 11:45 (they close at 13:00, having opened at 04:00). Chose the only lemon donut on display, and when I asked if they had any more they took a plain one and filled it. Sat and had a coffee with the donuts and they were fantastic: light, tasty, and zingy lemon. Took two apple donuts for later in the journey. Good prices as well as good donuts.

Once you're sick of Mexican, there just aren't any other decent options in town, so why not have something fresh, healthy, and delicious? The deli has really good sandwiches, salads, chicken, potatoes, and plenty of other things. They can also hook you up with whatever silverware/napkins you need. Drinks, fresh fruit and veggies, crackers, cookies, yogurt, and coffee are all there as well. There's even a few tables by the deli to sit and have a meal if you like. The staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful. It's clean, reasonably priced, and provides WAY more options than anything else you're going to find in town.

The storefront was festively decorated with a fall theme, which was a big change since my last visit. The decor just makes the storefront even more appealing and welcoming to visitors. At least ten varieties of cupcakes were on display and I had a hard time choosing only two flavors. If it wasn't for watching my waistline, I would have seriously bought one of each flavor. There were also handful of whole cakes on display for sale. I finally decided on German chocolate and white chocolate raspberry. No matter which flavor you decide on, each cupcake is filled with sweet, rich deliciousness and your sweet tooth will yell for more more more! The next time you need a sweet fix or a special occasion cake, please visit Classy Cake Creations. Their cakes are moist and their super yummy factor will send you to cake heaven. I promise that you and your guests will be ever so happy and grateful. Happy eating- savor and enjoy each bite!

Let's be honest…read more Ruston isn't exactly the first place that comes to mind when you think of craft coffee, fresh pastries, thoughtful small plates, and palate-forward cocktails. Then there's Common Goods. On a recent trip from New Orleans to North Louisiana, my friend Jacob rounded up a mix of locals and out-of-towners and said, "Trust me." He was right. Where do I even start? I use this word sparingly, but this place is a vibe. I walked in not knowing what to expect and immediately noticed the velvet yellow sectional, the clean design, and a room that was the perfect blend of curated and comfortable. Nothing was working too hard, yet everything felt intentional. Then came the cocktail menu. Whoever put it together understands balance. Sweet. Sour. Spice. Earth. The presentation was superb. I ordered the New Fashioned. Then another. Then...well...let's just say I quit counting after three. The Earl Grey infusion works, it somehow it makes a great Old Fashioned feel lighter, brighter, and completely new. The personal chocolate cake with salted caramel disappeared almost as fast as it hit the table. It was the unanimous favorite. My friends Paul and Racheal loved it so much they got their own, in chocolate and raspberry. The bread service deserves a mention. Fresh bread with balsamic and infused olive oil sounds simple. But there was complexity and finish in both. The bread had crisp edges and a soft middle. By the end of the night I was spellbound by their magic. Common Goods isn't just a great spot for Ruston. It's a place that could hold its own in New Orleans, Nashville, or Austin without anyone batting an eye. This place is a gem. And I'm officially obsessed. If you live in Ruston, this should be a weekly spot.
