I loved working with this couple for my wedding cake! I walked in, knowing what I wanted, but what…read moreI could afford and they worked with me. I should them pictures of the cake I fell I love with and told them it just needed to match my colors. I had bought a cake stand online and I felt comfortable enough to go back in one day to see if my cake would fit or look alright on it. Being a particular bride, I was able to trust them to get my cake there, set up, and everything else without a worry and that what I needed. I also had several birthdays at my wedding that night and they made individual cupcakes for them also. Over all it was perfect and one thing I was 100% happy with. Not to even mention how yummy it was!

A cute little pink trailer near the town square produces really great cupcakes! And the owner is as…read morenice as can be. Whenever I'm in town, I stop by and get a mixed set of four of the giant cupcakes. I've never been disappointed. The owner always has quite an assortment of flavors (even though I ask her to exclude the chocolate ones, since I'm not a fan of chocolate (heresy, I know!)) She ices them on the spot, right before giving them to you. I always mean to get other items, but the cupcakes are so enticing that I've not gotten past them. Next time I'm in Pittsfield, I'll try the iced coffee, promise. ;-) Very reasonable prices, a four-pack of the giant cupcakes is just $15.

First time trying this adorable little drive-up coffee stand. Ordered a cookies and cream frap. It…read morewas delicious! The drive thru has seen better days when potholes weren't as big! I was also a little worried being in the road while in line, but everything worked out just fine. I would definitely return and try other drinks that sounded delicious!

We looked up Sophisticakes by Mary after a recommendation from the hotel we had booked for our…read morewedding reception, and we're delighted we did! Mary was very responsive on email and worked with our complicated travel schedules to arrange a "take home" tasting so we could select our cake flavors and frosting. While we didn't stretch her much as an artist (her gallery proves that she's as much a sculptor as a baker), she was very attentive to our simpler aesthetic and produced exactly the grand, elegant wedding cake we had hoped for. Our guests are still talking about how delicious it was! We had a great experience working with Mary and couldn't have asked for anything better.

Living out of town, I called with limited expectations after 2 PM the day before her birthday. What Ashby's came up with was nothing short of spectacular. They even arranged to have my order delivered by 1 PM the next day. Everyone commented on the beautiful arrangement and the deliciously moist cupcakes. I can't thank the staff enough for going the extra mile. Especially since it made my sister ugly cry!!

My girlfriend came from California to celebrate my birthday. She had ordered cupcakes, requested…read morevanilla cupcake with strawberry frosting, decorated with a small rose on top of each. When she went to pick them up, they were sitting on edge of front counter. The container did not have any labeling indicating ingredients, or stores name etc. The cupcakes were small and frosting was not anything like the cupcakes on her website and also were not decorated. She was charged 12.00 for something that looked like it was made by a beginner. She took them back because they were to embarrassing for her to share with me. I was really shocked by the looks of them also.

This is an adorable little shop located on the main strip of Keokuk. This little pastry shop has…read morebeen in business in Keokuk since 1967 and for it to still be in business today you know they have to be doing something right! Stan Waldron started this business back in 1948 in Anamosa and then moved with his family to Keokuk in 1967 and opened this location. He has since passed away but his family has taken over and it's business as usual. They make anything from pies to cakes, cookies and the ever famous creme horns. There is a collage on the wall of their creme horns being eaten all over the world! Pictures from Berlin, Madrid, the White House and the Grand Canyon to name a few. It's been said that creme horns from this bakery shop have been eaten on every continent except Antarctica! So it's quite obvious what I came here for, the creme horns! I was not disappointed at all. I ended up getting a half dozen so I would have some to take home also. The outer layer was so crispy flakey and just a hint of sweetness and the creme filling was amazing! Not too sweet, just enough. If this place were any closer to my house I'd be there every week to get treats! As far as payment, they accept cash and check only so prepare yourself for that. They also have limited hours. They are only open Thursday Friday and Saturday. Definitely check them out if you are ever in this area!
