Cakes & Creams in Branson is such a fun little treat stop if you're in town and want really yummy…read moredessert. It has that classic vacation town feeling where getting ice cream just feels like part of the whole trip. Plus they have funnel cake and how can you not stop for funnel cake?! Great spot to cool off after walking around all day too! They have a lot of options, so it's easy to find something that sounds good whether you want pizza, hot dogs, a burger, ice cream, cake, or something extra sweet. Portions were generous in traditional diner fashion, everything was delish as well! Inside can get busy, especially during peak tourist times when we were there, so expect a little chaos and line movement going slow depending when you go. That's pretty normal for Branson, but worth knowing if you're tired or in a hurry. Overall, a pretty great stop!

First time visitor; yummy ice cream and cheesecake! Can't wait to try pumpkin spice espresso!read more

What a local gem on the square! Very clean and welcoming! The worker there was so helpful and kind!…read moreShe went through and told us each type of cheesecake and cake slice!! We tried the Almond Joy cheesecake, Fudge Round cheesecake, and a slice of carrot cake!! All were wonderful, but I loved the Almond Joy slice! All the slices are large and worth every penny!!

This is hands down the best chicken pot I've ever had. As usual these small bowls can be incredibly…read moredeceiving because I promise you one is more than enough to fill a very hungry teenage boy. The location while it was in joplin was located in a repurposed building and made into a tea house as well. They serve a daily selection of sweet pies and other baked goods. I've also tried their quiche which was light but very flavorful. If you're hosting at home you can also pre order or buy some of their take and bakes. The quality is just as good. I believe on social media they're moving to Carthage and I know for a fact I'll be following them there for more of their incredible pot pies.

We drove 40 miles to see this place, hearing how it was so amazing. It was just a life size scale…read moreof how country buildings looked in the 50's. The thing is the outsides look great, but most the insides of the buildings are full of crap, and scraps... When we went "on a Friday at 2pm" everything was closed, even the little dinner "not sure it's even functional." Basically you are just here to see a full-scale display of country living from the past in the Midwest. Nothing special for people who grew up living around these kinds of buildings. And even worse is there's really nothing to do, but, or see besides the outside of old buildings.

I ordered a special cake for my 21st birthday. It was a Grateful Dead themed tie dye cake. Sweet…read moreDesigns designed the exact cake that I had imagined for my 21st birthday party. The cake was a big hit at my party. I've also tried their cupcakes before and they are really delicious too.

Had a cake tasting set up. Their "butter cream" left a disgusting residue on my tongue and mouth…read more The butter cream was way too sweet and you couldn't distinguish flavors. It all tasted the same. Too loose consistency. The "butter cream" tasted like it was made of Crisco. It was terrible. Chocolate frosting was terrible and their "fillings" weren't that. It was the same terrible "butter cream". The cake was way too dry. Couldn't even cut it without it falling apart into a massive pile of crumbs. It was hard to get down. The vanilla tasted like an overly eggy, super cheap box mix. Fake vanilla flavor. It was the worse tasting vanilla cake I have ever tasted. Even my dad hated it and he loves cake. It was so bad I wanted to teach them how to make a cake. Give them some tips and pointers. I mean. How hard is it to go on Pinterest and watch YouTube videos!?! Then maybe they will learn how to do a cake. The chocolate cake was a basic meh cake. The spiced cake was ok. But again the crumb was terrible. It was like eating sand. The only saving Grace was the pumpkin cake. It was underbaked, but it was at least edible and enjoyable.... Until we paired with the frosting. And then it was ruined. I was in tears at the thought of this bakery being our only option for our wedding. We already wasted $25 for a tasting. Luckily we pushed back the wedding now have proper time to look for a bakery who does cakes from scratch and not from boxer mix. I won't have to worry about anyone getting sick because of the Crisco and sugar paste. Or having someone inhale the crumbs and I have to do CPR at the wedding.

Frequent lake goer, 1st time at Grandpa's…read more It's on the strip. There is a lot but ppl can't park correctly so be careful. We finally found street parking and walked over. It is popular as the line was long but it moved quickly. They have a huge variety of options. Majority of our group got scoops of ice cream while 2 tried the blackberry cobbler. One of the ice cream scoops was simply ice which was disappointing. The cobbler was delicious.

Her prices are completely reasonable and we were honestly so surprised with how big they were! She even went out of her way to add a special espresso ganache on the cake to add to the cakes flavor!
