Went back to visit our hometown and went to the Bakery. The carrot cake was delicious! Everyone there was very friendly! Enjoyed reminiscing with the owner! read more

Ordered the Carrot Cake for a birthday. It was Amazing to say the least! I called on a Tuesday needing the cake on Thursday (of the same week). The cake was ready and waiting for me by noon that Thursday! The girl behind the service counter gave me suggestions on serving it (since the cake has to be refrigerated due to the icing). I will not hesitate to order another cake from The Lovin Oven Bakery!! read more

Excellent cakes and other desserts. I have loved all that I have tried. Services were great too

Finally a place that delivers what is promised! I was at John's Trikes and popped in to see what this place offered. I'm rarely tempted by bakeries because I am always disappointed, it seems. I liked this chaotic little place as soon as I walked in. It seems it's always been there, like since Lancaster was established. I studied everything in the cases and settled on a slice of carrot cake, with the bold claim to be the best in the country! Really a perfect set up for disappointment. I paid and tucked it in the ice chest for later. Well, it's later and my husband I easily made 2 servings from the single slice. Yes. Yes indeed, this is the real deal. Moist and full of fruit and nuts, it's like great grandmas recipe. The frosting is piled on and perfect. Seriously, this is where you should stop if you are ever in the area! Thanks, ladies!!! read more

This place should give up an close their business! I've attached my original review so I won't have to write another one .I do want to add since that review I was hoping the cake would at least taste good but once again they failed me an the (red velvet cake) was very dry .Hope this review saves anyone else from ordering anything from this place. read more

Called last minute for a birthday cake for my 5 year old. She requested roses, daisies, bluebonnets and butterflies. The cake turned out adorably and when I was in shop I got to sample some delicious treats! The bakery was very accommodating, cake was done on time and all items we brought home were delightful. Happy with the service! read more

An established bakery with awesome delicacies hand crafted with quality ingredients. Walk-in or order and pick up special orders. We ordered the carrot cake, it was pretty, ample, luscious, and sweet, but not overly sweet. A birthday tradition. read more

If you weren't around in 1994, you may not remember that half of Lancaster's historic town square was obliterated in a tornado. The Bank was beautifully restored. The theater never really became operational, again, and there are empty lots with sidewalk, still to this day. But we love the spunky square and it's often unusual occupants. A longtime friend of the square is The Lovin' Oven and baker Suzanne Maxwell. Every community needs an old fashioned bakery where you can walk in and buy a modestly priced cookie and stand out front in the shade of the awning and nibble at your lemon bar or brownie. The Lovin' Oven is that bakery and they make great cakes to order, too. read more

Mmmnnnn yes. Gotta try the Carrot Cake! Perfect for birthday or anything or for just a snack try the stuffed cookie. My favorite with German cake Iceing cookie. read more

Oh my y'all need an Oscar for how good your cakes are. Every year I order an Italian Cream Cake from here and it never ceases to be amazing!!! So fresh and hands down no one can make Italian Cream like Lovin Oven. They've been in business for over 50 years. Amazing read more

No Excuses!!! I have popped in for years to this bakery. Sometimes for the whole cake and often times, slices. The Italian Cream is always what I get. This slice had to be refrigerated well over a week. It was hard and looked old when I got it home. I should have looked inside before driving off but I never had to do that with them. Now the frosting was very fresh but at the very middle to the back of the slice, different story. Usually you do get them refrigerated and by the time you get home and let them get room temperature, they are so moist. I know covid has changed things for business but don't loose who you are to sell bad product. That's the end for me. You know better. read more

How have I been in Lancaster for 14 years and not been here. I have driven to Bishop Arts, Cedar Hill, and Waxahachie for my cupcake fix when this place has been here the entire time. They even gave me the option to choose buttercream or cream cheese for my strawberry cupcake. The kind workers were double icong. I like my other places, but Lovin Oven is definitely now in the rotation. I plan to go back to try the cinnamon rolls and that strawberry shortcake. read more

This biz has been around a long time. Their cakes are consistently moist, tasty and made to order with no issues! The owner is Prompt to call your back if they miss your call while closed! Will always recommend and patronize this business. read more

When I heard about this place I was ecstatic, Two Chocolate chip cookies with nothing but frosting in between? Hell yes! Sign me up! Alas, it was not to be... The cookie was there, I put up a photo of it (check it out). But it's just so damn...sugary! I know, I know you're thinking "What the hell did you expect? It's a cookie sandwich filled with icing." But seriously, the one they sold me may have been old because it was so damn hard it cut the roof of my mouth. It was also nasty because the damn thing didn't taste like anything but sugar. It didn't taste like a chocolate chip cookie it tasted like a rock solid block of sugar. It wasn't just the damn cookie sandwich, it was the lemon square, the chocolate cake and the coffee....oh god...the coffee. Maybe this place is old fashioned but when ever I can go to a bakery any where else, and I mean anywhere, from Boston to Rome. I can get halfway decent cup of coffee at a bakery. Or a Cappuccino, or a latte or at the very least some actual cream. If you run a bakery why the HELL wouldn't you have some damn cream for your customer's coffee? You cook with it, so why the hell wouldn't you have any real cream? Anyway...I know it's knit-picky but if I order a cup of coffee I don't want it to watch the lady making it whip out some instant coffee and pour it into hot water...and then have he stones to charge me three bucks for it. Screw it...my biggest problem with this place is the cleanliness. I know this place was hit by a tornado about ten or fifteen years ago, but it looks like it's never been repaired. It still has cracked walls and nasty yellowed wall paper. Sure I know that places like this have certain charm with a kind of busted up little look to it. But if you run a business that looks a little rough around the edges, you're supposed to be spending the money your saving not fixing your business, on better ingredients, making better food, and so on. Somehow this place has not done either... If you like VERY sweet food that only tastes like sugar then go for it... read more

Beautiful cake but horrible service I walk in to pick up my cake when they were just about closing I had just got off work then came there to pick up cake for my moms birthday to be greeted with a comment made by this older dude (possibly the owner) saying where do u work that lets you dress like that and the lady packaging my cake goes your telling me! I told them twice I just got off work ran home to shower and change then came here! I was a wearing a black fill length tank with Nike running shorts I bout gave my cake back and walked out!

Very seldom have I gotten a fresh slice of cake. They get an attitude if you ask if the slice is fresh. Won't be going there again.

Nice friendly service. I like their wedding cake selection. I tried other flavors but they didn't do it for me. The lady working told me they were better than cake bar and I would definitely have to disagree on that read more

I only gave them a star because that's the only why I could leave a post. I ordered a volcano cake for my grandson. I was charged $53. When I went to pick it up a week later it wasn't ready. The cake was a round 8 inch cake with red and orange frosting. It looked like the sun melted on the beach. This does not look like a Volcano read more

Let me start off by letting everybody know that I am a health nut. I have all my meal timed out and eat each one at the same time every day, and have certain ways that i prepare each one so that it can compliment my workout schedule (Its ridiculous...I know). However, almost every time that i have a chance to consume a sweet treat, i will not budge unless it is from this place. Their cookies are made fresh throughout the day, and the cakes (I dont like cake) are out of this world. I have a sister who has beento some of the fanciest restaurants, parties, events, etc and had cakes from some of the most expensive bakeries in Dallas, but when her birthday comes around, anything other than lovin oven is unacceptable. Their cookies are buttery, and soft. I grew up in Lancaster, so i may be a little biased growing up with this place, but to me, a sweet treat just isnt worth screwing up my diet if it doesnt come from here. Please, go out of your way to make it to lancaster, and you will see what i mean. If your a baller, try the cookie monster (two sugar cookies with fresh icing in the middle). It is absolutely riciculous. read more

Tucked away inside historic Lancaster. Prices very affordable. Great mom & pop type shop with friendly owners who truly know how to bake. Got strawberry cake- buttercream frosting, light/airy/not too sweet choc chip cookie sandwich w/buttercream-slightly refrigerated and does not melt hummingbird cake- carrot cake with a twist, not too sweet w/buttercream frosting peanut butter cookie-soft, delicate, great flavor m&m cookie-perfect cookie with great flavor surrounding the candy lemon bar- not the best thing on the menu but serves the lemon craving white choc lemon bar- divine! provides just the right amount of lemon and white choc dollie bar- chocolate/pecan goodness all of this for 17.00; checkout lady said if you get 6 or more items the order is tax free OR two slices of cake its tax free. normal business hours they operate so check them out when you got a sweet tooth! read more

Cakes taste good, would NOT order any cakes from here though, sloppy decorating. A simple " I'm sorry I can't make that cake for you" would of been best. Not returning. read more

The Lovin'oven Bakery - Disappointing when you have to fix your own cake order. Sloppy decorating, not worth the money. - Bakeries Near Me - Lancaster, Texas

Everything we had was delicious. My daughter had a fluffie (a sugar cookie with icing and sprinkles). As we walked out she dropped it and when we went back in to purchase another, the guy that rang us up just let us have another one. She loved it. We also got a cupcake, petit fors and a slice of white cake with buttercream icing. It was all delicious and the cake was so moist!!! 5 stars for taste and price and 5 stars for the exceptional customer service!!! Will definitely be back!! read more

Love this little bakery tucked into a corner of the Lancaster square. My main thing here is the peanut butter cookie sandwich. It is a peanut butter cookie, peanut butter icing, and then topped with another peanut butter cookie. They call it death by peanut butter. They have some of, if not the best, butter cream icing here. I know they do other things like cakes for parties, but I have not used them for that sort of thing. read more

This bakery is phenomenal! My folks and I have been purchasing cakes here for years. From birthdays, wedding anniversary cakes to wedding cakes, The Lovin' Oven never disappoints! I love this bakery! read more

What a disappointment !! I ordered a simple chocolate cake with white icing with a "generic" themed decorating: black block style lettering with the word cake. Odd I know but this was the main reason I chose Lovin Oven. I had seen and tasted their custom cakes before from a good friend of mine who had a wedding cake and her daughters first communion cake done here . They both look fab and tasted delicious so I was shocked when I got an extremely high priced subpar product . The lettering looked like a 3rd grader had decorated it and the cake itself was uneven which I didn't catch until I got it home . Mind you I live in Fort Worth Texas so I drive 32 miles there and back for this product . I was told on the phone when I ordered it that it was a specialty item . I thought that was a bit odd. It's a square cake not some odd shape ! But since it was the for the husband I paid the 42 dollars . When I was asked at the shop if they wanted to me to have them redo it or fix it I said no because I couldn't wait all day in Lancaster for that . After all it was "custom" . When I called after I got home to Fort Worth the owner was rude and kept saying I was offered a redo . He said he could have "cut out" a square cake from an already baked cake. I thought this was strange because I paid 42 dollars for custom work . He finally reluctantly gave me a partial refund. When we ate it that night we found out that the cake was dry. The only redeeming thing about this abomination of a cake was the icing . Buyer beware ! I have a chocolate cake recipe that isn't dry . Save you your money and either make it yourself or go somewhere else. read more

I stopped in Lovin Oven Bakery this morning for the first time. My intention was to buy some cookies for the ladies that work at my credit union across the street, but after looking in the display case at the brownies, I knew I wasnt leaving this place with just cookies. I got some Chocolate brownies, and Cream Cheese Iced brownies. They are the best I have ever had from a bakery. I never got to sample the cookies, but after taking them to my credit union, the ladies there told me that they had them before and they are fantastic. I shoulda gone back for more cookies, but feared I might end up in a diabetic coma with all that sugar. Lovin Oven...... I will return soon! read more

OMG, I love this place. Pardon me, WE love this place. I was giving it a 4 star rating, but my husband, who's peering over my shoulder and giving his input, says it should have a 5 star rating. Lovin' Oven has the absolute best chicken salad that I've ever eaten. Their bakeries, cookies, and pastries are to die for. I have a friend from out of town (who just so happens to be diabetic) and every time she comes to DFW to visit, she won't go home until after we've gotten some good treats from here. This place is super yummy and I am and will be a return customer! read more

Very first time visiting this place. The smell of cookies and pastries we're fantastic. I purchased some m&m cookies for the family. The first bite I was thinking this is delicious. The taste of the dough,butter and m&m had me in daze. Not only they make great cookies, they do wedding, birthday, and other events in advanced. Their prices is very reasonable. Will I visit there again yes!!!!!!. I give respect to the owner, the Bakers, and the people who work there. read more

I've been working in Lancaster for over ten years. I'm about to leave for another job. For very special occasions, we have bought sweets from Lovin' Oven. The times when that has happened make for my best memories of working here. This place makes impossibly great Italian cream cake, easily the best I have ever had. Big, moist, and flavorful; just amazing stuff. The cookies are terrific, and you can gat a nice lunch, too. Make the trip, and you will not be disappointed. read more

So I've been living in Lancaster for almost 4 year everyone says u have to go to the lovin oven. Will yesterday was it for me I ordered 3 cupcakes (2 strawberry and 1 red velvet) also a lemon square. The lemon square when I got was clearly not made that day it was old but I guess it was not the worst I had. The cupcakes was another story. My 14 year old son who will eat anything with sugar took one bite and said this is nasty then preceded to throw it away. If u know my son that's saying a lot. The icing tasted like who every made them forgot to add the sugar. The cupcakes were dry and also lacked flavor and tasted nothing like strawberry. My daughter also did not finish the red velvet. I just have to say when u give 2 kids cupcakes and they don't want them it's pretty bad. We will not be back to support this Lancaster business and I always try to buy as much in Lancaster as I can being a home owner here. read more
