All I sent was a photo for reference and a beautiful cake was delivered which looked even better than I imagined. The gallery shows the attention to detail and how much thought is put into every item this baker creates. Yet, what is most amazing is each time I have one of her cakes, I feel like I have found my most favorite cake flavor combination. A few flavors on top of the list include: Chocolate cake with raspberry mousse filling Coconut cake with pineapple mandarin filling Her Signature Rasmalai Cake I look forward to discovering more favorites the next time I order from Sugarcube!

We came by on two occasions well before advertised closing hours; the first time they closed early and the second time was closing early as my wife came to the door. They let her in on the second visit and rung her up for a couple samples of Tiramisu and Tres Leches. They were aesthetically pleasing and well packaged, however, were both a bit on the sweeter end. The Tres Leches was also overpowered by coconut flavor and unfortunately wasn't a good fit for what we were looking for. Best, Charlie

The man (I assume the owner) was so friendly and happy, and yes, he lured us with a free sample of taffy grapes. I knew this was going to be a sale when I saw how awesome the taffy grapes looked, and then when I tried one holy cow! They tasted like a mini caramel apple with nuts, except.. not an apple, a grape. And not too much caramel. Ooooooo sooo good. Just enough sweetness. We got a big cup of grapes to share later. I couldn't resist the cute little cake pops that were made in a tiny little ice cream cone cup. I got one for my mom and she really enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back to the market to get some more taffy grapes! I can't believe I neglected to take a photo but if you go to their website their grapes on the site look just like what they sell in person. MMM!

I don't think they'll sell with ice cream stickiness in the fur.

This bakery is a gem. We have ordered from them countless times and everything has always been amazing. If you have a family member who needs to eat gluten free, they are a godsend at holiday time. We had great Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings serving their dinner rolls, side dishes, pies and other sweet treats. Everyone loved them - gluten lovers included. It's makes it so easy when everyone in the family can enjoy the food and no one is excluded from eating anything. If I had to pick an absolute favorite item I would say the pies and the pie bars are my favorites. My son loves the focaccia and the scones. read more

The food is amazing, especially considering it's all gluten and nut free! The store is super cute and the staff are delightful. It's going to be more expensive than a typical bakery due to having to accommodate to allergens but it's totally worth it, especially if you have allergens. read more
