Our sleek & simple wedding cake
Samantha F.

My new husband and I wanted to do a dessert table for our wedding and we LOVED all the desserts from The Mixing Bowl! We got just a 1 tier 2 layer cake and it arrived exactly as we asked, sleek and minimal and the perfect stage for our cake topper. We got mini cupcakes which were the perfect size for a bite and they were moist and so flavorful. The eclairs were a crowd favorite with the banana cream! They are soooo good! Eclairs are my favorite dessert and these were filled nicely and still so yummy days later. The cookies were crunchy and a great size. We got a lot of comments about how good all the desserts tasted. From the tasting box, the booking and updating our final count, the process was easy. We were so pleased with the entire spread and definitely recommend!

My wedding cake and my bouquet. And yes that was our cake topper. Lol.

This bakery made my wedding cake, and it was perfect! I have never been disappointed. I normally don't like cannolis but their cannolis are to die for! The staff are super friendly. And the atmosphere is so cute. Definitely will be back soon to get more cannolis. Lol.

Pecan sticky bun.  Took a picture of it in my hand so you can see how tiny it is.

I have driven by this bakery and every time I try to go by, they are closed because it is too late in the day. I've been wanting to go to the Mixing Bowl as it has been said to be a West End favorite. I'm really not sure why. Today I finally made it by as I wanted to pick up some treats to take an office that I call on and let me tell you how I was disappointed. Their display case was sparse at best with a very small variety of items in the case. All they had were various bars, upside down cupcakes, tiny sticky buns, a few cannolis, and some cake balls. I wanted to leave and should have, but I didn't want to be rude. I got a variety of bars and then the gentleman helping me said let's add in some sticky buns. Those sticky pecan buns are so tiny. I'm very embarrassed to take this into an office as in just two bites the pecan bun will be gone. Now I feel like I need to go by another bakery to make up for the tiny pecan sticky buns. I will say that the man helping me was very polite and kind which I certainly appreciate I normally use Shindigz, Pearls, or Westhampton Bakery and they always have extremely full display cases and always have a very large variety of items from which to choose. This was a very big disappointment and I will not be going back.

This is a beautiful bakery not only for their sweets but for their sweet hearts. The team at the bakery were very kind to me and helped pick out carrot cupcakes for my husband while he recovers in the hospital. The cupcakes were delicious and perfect. Thank you for being so caring. I will be back.

I wanted a cake for my sister's 60th birthday. I sent a message as I'm in Florida and Tracey made it happen from a picture and a few texts! It was beautiful and exactly what I'd asked for! Yummy too!! I love her sweet bakery and she's always the nicest! Even if you just want a yummy treat, pop in, because you'll always find something perfect!!

The email from the bakery confirming what they would make. The cake we actually received and the weak apology.
Jess B.

Had a pretty lousy experience and rather weak apology and response from the bakery. Ordered a birthday cake for my sons third birthday 3 weeks in advance. They sent the confirmation email as to what the cake would entail with flavor and design and completely blew it. It was nothing at all what we agreed on for the design of the cake! And it was a horrible cake, way too dry and the frosting and filling was incredibly over sweet and disgusting. Pretty disappointing since this was the first real birthday my son will remember instead of just seeing photos of.

My mother in law has been in the hospital and we drive by this bakery often on our way back home. We decided to stop in the other day and it was a wonderful surprise find! Delicious delectables - they didn't disappoint. So many to choose from and all yummy. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We will continue to support this local treasure! Highly recommend!!

wedding cake

We found the mixing bowl on the vendor list for our wedding venue, Fairview farm. After reading all of their great reviews, we decided they would be perfect! We went with a spice cake for our winter wedding. It was so delicious and looked amazing decorated with rosemary and cranberries! We had such a good time doing the tasting. You pick multiple cakes and frostings and they pack you a little cupcake box to try so you can mix different cakes and frostings! They also do a 1 year anniversary mini cake so you don't have to try to save a slice in the freezer! We are looking forward to that!

These guys are so amazing. They created our wedding cake and it was absolutely perfect. We worked with Phyllis for our tasting and she was so helpful and she answered all of our questions. Everyone at the wedding kept telling us how amazing it was. Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I wanted so I am looking forward to our anniversary cake.

Mixing Bowl went above and beyond in their communication and working with me on my twice postponed COVID wedding cake. This cake was exactly what we had envisioned, and it tasted delicious =) Could not more highly recommend.

Perfect

This is a prime example of getting what you paid for this cake was done perfectly just like I ordered no no complaints the service was superb the cake was ready on time and I do recommend trying them out I got one more cake to pick up from them kudos to the management and staff

Travis S.

The staff was amazing and their customer service was above and beyond. I called on a Tuesday to see if they were able to make a Mario cake for my son's 6th birthday party that would be ready to be picked up on Friday by 2PM. They said all they would need is a picture of what we were thinking and they would give us an estimate. Within 15 mins that said they could do it in the timeframe given and would be what we asked for. I picked the cake up on Friday and was completely amazed at the attention to detail and how they exceeded my expectations. However, I wondered how it would taste. At the birthday party everyone commented on the beauty of the cake AND how delicious it was. The Mixing Bowl was far cheaper and higher quality than other places we researched. I suggested those who expect quality on multiple levels for a reasonable price to give this bakery a try.

Bright and airy space, almost like a spa!…read more Quiet when I came in weekday afternoon. Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.

The market and cafe is where you go if you actually want to buy something. And trust me, you want to buy something. A majestic display greets the viewer. While desserts are indulgent and full of ingredients that bust up some people's diets, this place had a small selection of vegan and gluten-free options that did not look like things you'd regret ordering. I got a peanut butter pie which had a chocolate layer and a graham cracker crust. I wish I'd split it up into multiple sittings because it was so indulgent, but somehow I stuffed it down. Someone ahead of me was trying to order something that this place was out of and was redirected towards their chocolate caramel cake. Given that I still remember eating that cake during the peak of the COVID era some four years ago, I really would not second guess the opportunity to order a slice.
