Emily is not only kind, but she is a true visionary when it comes to cakes and cookies! She is…read moreprofessional, Timely, and just all-around a great Businesswoman! We have ordered cookies from her for a housewarming gift, and didn't have a clue as to what to get. Well it was Emily to the rescue! She had the idea to do cookies in the shape of keys, and also a front door with a wreath on it!! Since I'm not very creative, she was able to just put it ALL together (even the colors!) for me just right off the bat!! They couldn't have been more adorable, and everyone loved their sugar cookies; I felt like the hero all night, and I didn't even do anything but buy them, haha! We'd also gotten a simple cake from Emily a couple years ago for my friend's first birthday party. It was only about 10 people, so my friend didn't want anything over-the-top; she just wanted a really small cake that would be cute for pics. My friend's dad had passed away right before this, and he was a fireman, so Emily created the perfect little cake, designed perfectly for her little guy. On top of that, it was chocolate and delicious!! We've also gotten her holiday cookies-- she sells out SUPER quickly, so make sure you place an order in time! We missed out one year because we waited until the last minute. They're the cutest things I've ever seen!! We will ALWAYS be patronizing Emily, and we feel lucky to have our "own dessert chef" from now on! (Haha, sounds silly, but Emily has made us feel like family! ) I'm going to come back to add pics / edit if I can.. I don't have them toward the front of my phone and it could take hours to find them, but I will eventually!! Thank you Emily Wheeler Custom Cakes- you've made our lives so much sweeter!!

Emily created a sweet table for my wedding this past year, August of 2015, and she did such an…read moreamazing job! She did my best friend's wedding as well, both themes very different, but both turned out amazing! She was such a pleasure to work with. We kept in touch throughout my planning process and she easily made adjustments, and worked with our budget! My sweet table consisted of customized sugar cookies, cake pops, and lemon bars, as well as other assorted candies to tie in with my pastel color theme (light blue, pale pink, and peach). She supplied everything! Cake stands, candy jars, scoopers etc! It turned out wonderful! My guests still rave about the cake pops! I highly recommend her!

This was my second time coming to this establishment and once I saw the Dubai Crossiant, I knew I…read morehad to have it!! It was everything I dreamed it to be and more. I loved the way the pistachio cream on the inside leaked out as I was eating away. The chef was so patient with me as I ordered my food, as I had to make a choice. My daughter went with the Dubai strawberry cup. I thoroughly enjoyed my dish, however she wasn't a fan of the Dubai cup. I knew she wouldn't be! She likes melted chocolate and the chocolate on these strawberries was already hardened. As always the asthetics of this place is wonderful. It is full of soft pink colors and flowers, truly picture worthy. I can't wait to return to see what other new items they have on display.

Tons of types of croissants, cookies, cakes, tarts, and more! They have lots of seasonal flavors. Everything is crafted beautifully--it's a work of art. We only tried 2 items and drinks. Prices may seem high, but they're totally worth it for the flavor and beauty. We could not get over how tasty the blackberry tart was. It had the perfect amount of sweet, salty, and tart! Every bite was heaven. We also got a triple berry croissant. It was stuffed with berries and cream. Very beautiful and delish! My only complaint is that they don't have prices listed in the store. That may be a good thing though because I could buy the whole store lol. You can order online and see prices there.

As Lu Lu, who is a celiac, specializes in gluten free products, we're going to learn a lot more about her business and enjoy the goodness of her talent!

I'm a big fan of Glow Worm Play Cafe. For so many reasons. Perhaps one of the most unacknowledged…read moreperks of Glow Worm is that it's attached to Staggeringly Delicious. One of the biggest misconceptions I've encountered in conversation about Glow Worm is that people don't realize that while being incredibly convenient for Glow Worm customers, Staggeringly Delicious is an entirely separate establishment. You don't need to be at the play cafe to get some of what truly is staggeringly delicious. The chocolate chip cookies, arguably the best in the city, seem to be one of the best kept secrets in Louisville. They're made with brown butter, triple chocolate, and topped with just the right amount of sea salt. I'm a big fan of blueberry and lemon desserts, but everything everyone else does, well...they just seems to do better. Their frittatas are phenomenal. It seems like pretzel buns are becoming more and more popular, but having them made fresh is just superior. The breakfast panini and turkey panini are crunchy, gooey, savory, and hit the spot every single time. Every time I order, I'm satisfied. It's consistent. It's affordable. I don't feel guilty when I eat there. I don't feel guilty when I feed it to my family. Sadly, that's becoming hard to come by. If you're near the Highlands and you're jonesing for a simple lunch or a treat, put this place on your radar. Don't be dissuaded by the play cafe sign out front. The play cafe is absolutely second-to-none, but you don't need a kid or play date to enjoy Staggeringly Delicious.

They make all their cakes and bakery items in house. It all looks so great. I can imagine the taste. Yep, that's delicious. You can never go wrong with a brownie. The different types of muffins are what the choice was for home eating. How about an orange, cranberry, and almond muffin. How about yes! If you want those carbs then let's do this !

We ordered sweet and savory baked goods. My savory item was the pepperoni pizza croissant with marinara and the sweet was the cherry cheese danish. The pepperoni pizza croissant had a little kick to it. Very good especially when you heat it up. The cherry cheese danish was not too sweet and crust was flaky good. My husband had the cheese and egg kolache and the cruffin. The cruffin was buttery and with chunks of blueberries. The kolache was butter with fluffy eggs on the inside.

The bakery is co-owned by a local mother-daughter team! They make beautiful wedding cakes (a couple were there doing cake testings and creating their desired cake while we visited). The cake and frosting options looked amazing. In addition to wedding cakes they take orders for cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and a variety of pastries. Orders can be made in person or online. There are delightful servings of pastries (macaroons, cinnamon rolls, scones, tarts, cake slices and more) for sale in the shop. They also serve coffee, hot chocolate and cold drinks. My husband and I shared a slice of carrot cake and it was so moist and delicious. It was reminiscent of my grandmother's carrot cake that I enjoyed years ago. I suggest going early for the best selection, they sell out quickly! There are several seating areas if one chooses to eat in the shop and the space is decorated simply and elegantly. The baked goods take center stage! In addition, the bakery offers workshops and classes about cake decorating and more. Classes are offered for beginner level and for those with more experience. The space can be rented for bridal showers, baby showers and other events. The bakery is open Thur, Fri, and Sat (There are Tues and Wed hours available for pre-order pick up).
