She decided to cancel the class after about 45 minutes of trying to get it to work. The class description on the website included crumb coating, mixing, tinting and smoothing buttercream, using a turntable, using piping tips to make rosettes, rose petals and leaves. None of those techniques except maybe leaves was even to be taught in this class. There was a list of tools for participants to bring and we used none of those things except our aprons. When asked about this she merely said that the description on her website was wrong. However, I signed up for the class based on that description. The instructor/owner refused to give even partial refunds and would only allow participants to sign up for a future class. I would definitely not recommend taking any classes

The chocolate chip cookies stand out because of the extra brown sugar and the excellent high-quality chocolate chips! Snickerdoodles are another favorite and remind me of my childhood favorites.

You order up at the window and take your order to go, or be like us, and scarf them down right then and there! Either way, you'll love Sweet Reba's!

To say I am disappointed in the $70 Birthday cake my husband purchased is an understatement…read more He ordered a lemon cake with raspberry preserves with buttercream icing. What we received was a dry cake with hardly any flavor. My Mother thought it was just a yellow cake, she couldn't even taste the lemon. And she is an experienced baker. She made our lemon and raspberry wedding cake, that my husband was trying to recreate. The raspberry "preserves" were gelatinous, like pie filling from a can. Preserves should be a jam like consistency, only with larger fruit pieces. But sadly, this was goopy and artificial tasting. And the buttercream was greasy, not creamy, like it was made from Crisco shortening (not butter), sugar and water. It didn't even have any flavor (maybe they forgot to put vanilla extract in it?) Even the construction of the cake was poor. They clearly didn't put enough batter in the pans. Normally you shave the rounded top off to make it flat. This bakery just added tons of icing in an attempt to make up for the rounded edges. Which also meant there were barely any raspberry "preserves" in between the layers. And last but not least. When my husband special ordered the cake (in person) he asked for white sprinkles. When he arrived to pick up the cake, it wasn't ready. And they told him they didn't have white sprinkles. And offered to cover the entire cake in tiny rock hard pearls, that are typically only used sparingly for decorative purposes. Because they are so hard, many decorators recommend removing them before eating! My Dad bit into it and said it was like trying to eat buck shot. My Father has never met a cake or sweet he didn't like, until now. He didn't want another piece during his entire visit. My mother and I didn't even finish our first piece. To charge $70 for this 8" cake was just criminal. I would have returned it if I could.

I'm not sure what more I can really add to what's already been said about the world's best entirely gluten-free bakery. I wasn't aware I had celiacs (the asymptomatic kind, which is more common than commonly understood) until recently. So I can compare Nece's with many of the world's other great bakeries in both the US and Europe (where I lived for ~dozen years) that I've experienced. Nece's is right up there with the very best non-GF bakeries too.
