Creative Cakes I…read morefound Tasty Cakes on yelp while searching for a bakery to make my sons birthday cake. I was impressed with the work that was presented online and wanted to patronize her business. The communication between us was fairly good with the exception of a blip when there was a family emergency. Kellie was pretty nice throughout the entire process but I did feel a little like I was bothering her with questions. I figured since I paid her $115 for a 8 inch round cake, that it was okay to make sure it was being made the way I envisioned. At some point, I went to the baking section at Michael's and looked at an 8 inch pan and thought it was super tiny. I inquired about how much it would be to make it 12 inches. I've read that she charges by the slice but I was hoping that she could cut me a deal but it didn't happen. She just said that it added 'x' amount of slices and will be an additional $55. No worries, it's a business and I completely understand. My total tab on this cake was $170. We threw a few ideas around but I gave her complete freedom to do as she wished. I'm usually hands on with everything but thought it would be nice to just let an expert do their jig. When my babies big day came, the cake was nice. It was detailed and a lot of work was definitely put into it. It was just not my personal cup of tea. Nonetheless, it was a good center piece. I ordered a bubblegum cake and I wish I didn't. When I first discusses flavors I asked about bubblegum and Kellie said that kids like it. I wanted something different so I thought it was a good choice. I only cut 20% of the cake and not one person ate a complete slice. I threw a majority of the thing away the next day. I was a little disappointed. One kid asked me what flavor it was & I said, "bubblegum." In which he replied, "Oh yeah, it tastes like bubblegum...with puke in it." I'm not blaming Kellie for my flavor choice but I would have appreciated some honesty. I suggest sticking to a normal flavor. Besides the taste, the cake wasn't very moist. I believe she started to bake on Thursday for my Saturday night party since she emailed me on a Wednesday stating that she was going to get started the next day. I know the giant (Jack the Giant Slayer theme) on top of the cake was made later because the color was more vibrant and the texture was a lot better than the main cake. This is a "cottage food" business and I really wanted to love it with all my heart. I just feel that it was a little pricey for the overall experience I had. Given the type of home based business it is, I wish she could have worked out a deal with me for a bigger sized cake. I guess I just have a chip on my shoulder because I could have ordered an amazing half sheet of scrumptious Haupia or Hawaiian Paradise cake from the notorious Kings Hawaiian bakery for under $50 if I were still in California. Tasty Cakes Cakery is a great local choice if you have the money to drop on a custom cake. Kellie does great work. If I were to do it differently, I would choose a better flavor, draw out exactly how I wanted the cake to look & ask if she could bake the cake the day before. I would have loved to meet her in person but we did everything through email, postal service to send payment, and text. She also asked if it were possible to change my drop off time because her husband was playing a game someplace and wanted to watch it, which was okay with me. I was just in school at that time, so my husband was there to receive the cake without me. Anyway, sorry for the novel. I just wanted to share my experience with my yelp community. Check her out and decide for yourself :) Solid 2.5 Stars rounded up to 3 for an A-OK experience.

She made my graduation cake for massage school, my son's birthday cake this year, and I have eaten her delicious cupcakes. EVERYTHING was fantastic. She puts a lot of time and detail in to her pieces of art. I can tell she really enjoys what she does. Her prices are reasonable, especially for what you get. I will never order a cake from anyone else again.

It's almost never on the menu, so good thing they always have standout regular loves - country bread and a perfect baguette are almost always available (but get there before noon!). They also have spectacular seasonal pastries, delicious foccacia with interesting toppings, a few delightful sandwiches, and standout desserts and sweet treats. It's carby heaven, whether you eat in (inside shared tables or outside picnic-style) or take everything home... and in that case I dare you not to tear into something on your drive. Don't try to come on Mon/Tues as they are closed then, and watch out for the peloton of cyclists on weekend mornings! Even if the line is long when you arrive, it moves quickly and the staff will always help you find something you'll love (or that will wow others when you deliver them a special treat from Babette's).

Will be back (and again and again, but shhh! You should go before everyone finds out about it). People 10/10. Real, kind, generous. And with fun tidbits of conversation and humor. Ambiance: excellent for breakfast or brunch with friends, working solitary on your laptop, having a quick sandwich on the rooftop patio, or a work meeting (in-person would be nice because the velvet couches are legit). I really liked the attention to details (such as the hooks for hanging a purse under the countertop). Cool decor and the vibe is like somebody oversized den, but instagram-worthy, you know? Check out the little store; they have cookbooks, cards, adorable kitchen towels and such, preserves and so on!

I asked for a seasonal assortment of Bundtinis and was given the classic assortment instead. I didn't realize this until I got home. I also asked if I could get an extra small box and was told they didn't have any to-go boxes. Then I asked if I could purchase one of the small plastic ramekins for a single Bundt cake and was told they were "completely out." It genuinely felt less like they were out of options and more like they just didn't want to work with me on anything. The overall tone was short and borderline snarky, which made the interaction uncomfortable. Even my 13 year old son felt they were being 100% dishonest. I love the cakes but customer service really matters and this experience didn't reflect that.

This time I really took the time to browse and slow down to enjoy all the offerings, in addition to the cheese. I never realized there was a 2nd floor until today, there were so many nice soaps and pretty things to look at. Love their collection of Emily Henry and Le Creuset products. I always thought they were mostly French but have found some Spanish and Italian items today. Love that they have those dozen escargot with herb butter from France. I've been missing them since Park Hill Supermarket stopped carrying them. So many niche items, if traveling to Europe is tough to do, maybe stop over in Longmont for the Cheese Importer for a quick reminiscence!
