    Pennington Cakes

    Friendly, very nice people stopped in to buy cupcakes and they were delicious. Small gem of a place that's been in business since the 1960's. Give them a try!

    What we asked for

    I had very specific request for my wedding cake I provided them several photos as examples. I talked with the owner and I was told 6 months before my wedding that what I wanted was easy and "totally doable" the cake that showed up at our wedding looked like a child made it! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!

    Ordered a speciality cake for my wife's birthday. I showed them a few pictures of cakes she liked off of the internet. They asked me to email them the pics and they attached them to my order. I came back on the date they promised and it was ready for pick up. It was very impressive and looked like the picture only better. Good attention to detail on a special made cake. Every phone interaction was professional and I would definitely recommend them!!

    We had to postpone our daughter's wedding from May until October. Pennington Cakes held fast to our plans. We altered the cake slightly, but as usual, the cake was delicious and beautiful and was delivered to our location in New Braunfels on time ! Thank you again Stephen and Penningtons for doing such a great job on our second daughter's wedding cake!

    Unfortunately I had to give one star, they don't deserve it. My sisters first baby shower cake was overly priced and a mess. $150 and it was UGLY. Then it tasted bad like it was frozen for a week. We have reached out to them and they have not responded. Walmart bakery is better than them. Dont be duped.

    They did my son's 1st Birthday cake and his smash cake. They satisfied all my requests. I wasn't sure if they could make a Tec the tractor cake since it's not very common. All I did was send a photo of what I wanted and they did a fabulous job with no questions! Delicious! Was a total success. Thank you!

    Best cake, EVER!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I needed a last minute cake for a military promotion ceremony and BOY did you deliver. The cake was AMAZING! The fondant flag and rank was beautiful. The Soldiers could not stop raving about how delicious the cake was; so much so, not a crumb was left. I will use you for my next event and future cake needs. Customer for life, I am.

    As much as I wanted to praise Pennington's to the highest rooftop, the cake they delivered for me on my wedding day was not the one we decided on. See my profile photo for my dream cake, then check out the photo I posted for them for the actual cake. The flavor was right, but as I stood there hours before my wedding watching the cake be stacked, I was deeply unhappy. They took liberties with my cake when we had very adamantly showed them a picture and requested a duplicate, right down to the ribbon on the base, to which the owner Stephen Horn said, whoa, no problem - we can do this exactly. Boo, guys, you took my color-copied vision and misplaced it, I guess.

    This is hands down the most awesome cake shop! Not only were they super friendly and accommodating, the cake was beautiful and was the best cake I've ever tasted. Super reasonable prices as well. So impressed!!

    Lovely baptism cake, (I've photoshopped the name for privacy)

    We dined here late Sunday morning after a positive recommendation from a friend, who told us about…read morethe friendly owner, but she was away on a family emergency so we didn't meet her. We decided to split two smashed croissants, plus a Rizz pie. The croissants were served first (one breakfast & one G.O.A.T.). The cappuccinos came with that meal and were served in a small paper cup. The coffee was steaming hot, just as coffee should be & perfect. Perhaps a regular cappuccino mug would have been better, and more matching the comforting interior. Some thought did go into the design, it was really nice & cozy. We finished our croissants, and since it was 25 min since we ordered, asked about the pie. It was soon brought out, but was cool on the very inside middle. Regardless, it was tasty. The meat was tender, and also had mushrooms, topped with mashed potatoes and cheese. It was a nice flakey crust. If it were hot and delivered with the meal, then this would have been five stars. 25 minutes, with us being the only customers, is really too long to wait for food for a counter service meal. Parking was adequate and easily accessible.

    A very unique establishment with focused menu of eclectic, yet savory offerings…read more The service was quick for the style of food. I wasn't sure about a smashed croissant, but the panini press enhances the flavors of the rich, buttery layers. The spinach/pineapple smoothie was also a refreshing and light choice to compliment the heavier sandwich. The Rizz pie is like a delightful personal shepherd's pie, and I am all for it. It will be interesting to explore their other options.

    So, I learned that not all locations are as incredible as the locations that I've ordered from…read morebefore. I placed an order several days in advance to be delivered to my brother for his birthday. On the day of the delivery, I get a message that it was delivered with a picture that is not my brother's house. I can't see the house number and have no idea where it went. I called my brother and obviously he didn't get the order. I called the store and explained that the order was not delivered to the correct house. I was put on hold several times, gave the information requested, then put on hold again. In the interim, my brother's neighbor took the delivery over to their house. When the lady came back on the line I told her that the cookies were delivered by my brother's neighbor. She was quiet and didn't say anything. I said to her, the delivery driver (Tucker) still dropped it off to the wrong house and that should be addressed. Luckily, my brother's neighbor didn't toss them or keep them. She didn't say anything, didn't offer a remedy, didn't apologize, nothing. I will not order from them again. I'll go back to Tiff's for orders in this area.

    This is the perfect spot for a late night sweet treat.They close at 12 A.m…read moreWe came around 11:30 and they had run out of a few cookies.So keep in mind that they may not have the full selection the later it gets. The classic cookies are about 3 inches and the deluxe are double the size.All of their cookies are served warm. Next time I'm getting the cookie ice cream sandwich.
