It's upsetting to write this review because I have used the Novel Baker in the past and they did do…read morea good job, but I'm not sure if they just don't have the capacity. We ordered from Alexis, the owner at the bakery, last September and my husband spoke to her over the phone, placed the order, and we picked it up with no issues. I reached out via their website 3 weeks ago to get 2 smash cakes, 24 cake pops, and 24 cupcakes for my son's 1st birthday (very simple order). She did not respond back for over a week and we went back and forth via email. I asked for a phone call to just sort the order out a few times and she refused. She just kept asking for me to fill out the order form...again....and again...and again. Her emails made absolutely no sense to find out that she uses ChatGPT which was why. She wasn't even responding to my emails as herself even when I told her how upset I was. I left her multiple voicemails and have still not heard from her...only ChatGPT. Now with the party being only a week away, I could not rely on Alexis as I can't even get ahold of her so found another option.

She took the time even though she was very busy to individually wrap the cupcakes and tie them with a bow in the cutest box. She also gave us instructions on how to defrost them since they were frozen for the night. When I finally got home and was able to enjoy the cupcake, it was one of the best treats I've had in a very long time! it was perfectly sweet and just the right size for a nighttime snack. The store itself is absolutely beautiful and a delicate surprise for the Doylestown area. I can't wait to go back and try some other wonderfully displayed desserts and have a freshly made espresso from their beautiful equipment. The store is very large with lots of parking, but I absolutely recommend bringing a friend to grab a coffee and a treat together. This would be a cute place to have a few people for a small girls birthday!

When I arrived after a very good Mexican lunch further up York Road there wasn't much to choose from in their display case. A few pastries were about all there was. Not a loaf of bread to be found. The young woman behind the counter was friendly and helpful, but she couldn't provide what I was really looking for, great brownies or a fresh fruit pie or coffee cake to take home. So, I opted for a Carrot Cake pastry and a large Chocolate Chip Cookie. Both were adequate, but less than the rapturous experience I was hoping for. The Choco Chip was very sweet and crunchy, but without many chocolate chips. The Carrot Cake looked great, but its flavor was muted. The cake was not as moist as I anticipated, and the icing with a mild light cream texture, as opposed to the heavier cream cheese topping I was expecting. Not at all what I was craving. Sure, it may have saved me from calories and a diabetic coma, but I was looking for a small splurge. This place clearly was too healthy and sensible for my moment seeking temporary indulgences. Although the cafe was cozy and sat at sidewalk level, it just didn't "pop" for me. Perhaps, a better time would permit more satisfying results. 3.5 Patisserie Etoiles.

Her details are exquisite and rival any of the big cake bakers you see competing on tv! She uses fondant and rice treats to form her shapes and the hand painting is just unreal!! She specializes in Philly sports teams, recreating not only mascots, but entire stadiums, using actual lights on her cakes! Wow. Just wow! Her logo purses are also a favorite of mine! The Gucci and Louies are unreal! All this, and she's a sweetheart too! Check her social media for her latest creations! There's nothing she can't do!

We got their pumpkin bread, coffee cake, mini muffins, homemade pop tarts, scones, and English muffin bread. Everything was delicious. The real standouts were the English muffin bread and pumpkin loaf (seasonal). The English muffin bread was dense but chewy with an English muffin texted and tasty crust. Toasted with butter and jam, it was delicious. The pumpkin bread was very light and super moist. Would love to go back during their normal business hours to try more treats!

I mean, these are incredible works of art! She's so talented! Most recently I attended a bridal shower and I was taken a back by the detail in this lovely three tier, three flavor cake that matched the bride's wedding colors perfectly. The delicate nature of the ombré layers of chiffon ruffles on the bottom tier were absolutely incredible! The all sugar monogram at the top was flawless and the polka dots were perfect, and had edible bold, shimmery glitter! It was an outstanding cake! Most of these fancy decorated cakes I have come to find only look good and lack greatly when it comes to taste. This is not the case with Karolyn's masterpieces. Everyone "oohed" and "ahhed" while they tasted each of the different layers in one cake...chocolate cake with chocolate icing, raspberry vanilla pound, and chocolate chip with buttercream. I tasted the icing on the raspberry slice at it was soooo delish!! Like omg delish. This mama who has had such bad experiences with birthday cakes over years that she swore off these types of places is considering using Karolyn's because of everyone's reaction and how gorgeous this last cake was! I would highly recommend her for your special occasion. Definitely not inexpensive, but a lot of work goes into making one of these beauties and it's sure to be a show stopper and a centerpiece for your party!
