Ordered a cake from here earlier this year, finally got around to reviewing because talk of this…read morecake continues to come up in conversation to this day! I hadn't read the reviews before ordering, as I was frantic in trying to find a bakery that could do a small custom cake less than 24 hours before my Mother-in-Law's birthday. I was desperate and willing to take anything, and Leigh Anne was very sweet and patient with me on the phone. We settled on the Carrot L-Orange cake (heavenly). I forget the exact size, but I remember she said it would feed ~6 people which was perfect, and truly it could have fed up to 12+ people as that's how many servings we got out of it. That cake was tall, flavor-packed, and very rich. The complimentary carrot, nutmeg, and orange flavors had a warm spice that had me questioning why it had been over a decade since I last had carrot cake! It is criminally underrated in my peer group, or at least it was until we had this one. You know you've got a great recipe when even the folks who 'don't want any cake/don't like sweets' start eyeing it to make sure there's some left for them to try, and especially when they ask if they can take a to-go slice back home because they know someone who just HAS to try it. Thank you again for the beautiful, scrumptious, Delicious Design!

Leigh Ann's wedding cake was fabulous. All the guests commented on the great taste it had and it…read moretasted better than the other wedding cakes they had. It was a hit! She more than exceeded our expectations on everything from the cake itself to delivery and setup. Leigh Ann was very responsive to our needs and we would definitely use her again! Thanks Leigh Ann!

This shop is so cute! The entrance is pretty welcoming with sign on the outside. There is plenty of…read moreparking in the plaza. You're welcomed in to a wide assortment of pastries. I think you can even order ahead online in case what you want is sold out. Which definitely happens towards the evening. I enjoyed what I got from my Too Good to Go bag of day old pastries. I love how they don't waste with this app. A bit of a drive for me, but worth it when I'm in the area!

If you're an ube fan, Dream Cakes is absolutely worth the stop. The ube cake was hands down the…read morehighlight of the visit moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. It had a rich, authentic taste that kept me coming back for another bite, and it's easily one of the better ube desserts I've had. The only thing that kept this from being a five star experience was the selection. I was hoping for a larger variety of flavors and more items available, but the display felt a little limited during my visit. I would have loved to try more of what they have to offer. We got one of everything they had and that ended us up with lots of earl gray flavors admittedly not my favorite. That said, quality definitely won over quantity. If the variety grows, this would be an easy five-star bakery in my book. I'll definitely be back for the ube. Super amazing staff ! And the building was easy to find .

Full disclosure: I have known Terry for many years and she is a friend of mine and I have known her…read moreand her family for years. Have you ever watched Cake Wars or Ace of Cakes? This is the same kind of baker! She can take your dreams and turn them in to reality! Terry make unbelievable cakes. She once made her dad a cake that looked like a Nikon Camera. The waiter thought it was a real camera. She has made several cakes for us and even done a Nightmare before Christmas cupcakes for us. The cakes look amazing and are always wowed over. The cake itself is moist and delicious. She offers a variety of fillings such as lemon, raspberry, chocolate etc. My favorite is chocolate with raspberry filling. The outside of the cake is made from fondant and can be eaten. I am not a fan of fondant and therefore normally do not eat it. Terry is an independent baker who bakes from home. She has a book of pictures of cakes that she has made. But if you have an idea of what you want she can design a cake just for you. If you want a cake that will wow the crowd then this is the baker for you.

As you can see from my pictures, we have gotten our birthday cakes from Terrycakes for several…read moreyears.... and for good reason! For full disclosure: I have been friends of Terry's mom for several years. That is how I found out about her cakes in the first place, besides having the opportunity to experience them at several friend's parties over the years. But her artistry and the level of yumminess has totally kept me a repeat customer. Those who don't already know and come to our parties always ask who made it and many have wanted her contact information for their future parties. Her cakes are THAT GOOD! They also have become a focal point in my decorating for our parties. They are a work of art. As you can tell... she can definitely work with non-traditional requests really well, too. My son loves having mash-up parties and those totally call for a cake of a "different" design. She listens to our general ideas and then soars with them. She also did an AMAZING job on the Invader Zim cake! I still get comments when people see the pictures on my facebook page and that was several years ago. I totally recommend her for your next party!

This place felt like Willy Wonka opened a milkshake bar for the Instagram generation…read more We stopped by Black Rock Dessert while looking for ice cream and instead found milkshakes on steroids. We ordered the Dust Storm: a vanilla milkshake with chocolate bits, topped with a giant blondie skewered dramatically on top, plus whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate drizzle. The rim of the jar was coated in marshmallow dip and graham cracker crumbs because apparently subtlety has left the chat. Honestly, the presentation was on point and exactly the kind of milkshake kids dream about. Which is why we ordered it. My tween declared it "the best milkshake I've ever seen in my life," and honestly, that alone made it worth the stop on our mother-daughter trip. Taste-wise, it leaned very sweet for me and didn't have a ton of flavor depth beyond sugar overload. But clearly the goal here is maximal fun and aesthetic, and they absolutely nailed that. It's basically a photo op you can drink. The shop itself was surprisingly quiet when we visited in the evening--we had the whole place to ourselves--but there were games to play while waiting for our order (we pulled out Pick Up Sticks, which transported me straight back to my 90s childhood living room). The ladies at the counter were also incredibly kind and patient explaining the menu and flavors to us. If you're looking for an over-the-top dessert experience your kids will talk about for days, this is your place.

I am a bit torn on Black Rock, but it's a great dessert spot nonetheless…read more Stopped in at Black Rock Dessert on a Thursday evening. Just one lone employee was running the place. In my opinion, it wasn't enough. There was a steady flow of people, and she couldn't keep up with orders and customer service. We opted for two small scoops of ice cream for the kids: chocolate and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We also ordered the sizzling blonde brownie sundae. It was about $20 for three items. The ice cream was very good, especially the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Very unique flavor and great texture. The blondie was a bit of a letdown. First, the blondie was not "sizzling". It wasn't even really warm. Only placed in a waffle iron for a few seconds. Second, it seemed very dry and crumbly, maybe even overbaked. I thought the ideas at Black Rock are fun, and I think trying one of their milkshakes should be my next visit. However, there are a lot of great ice cream spots in Reno. For just ice cream, I think there is some heavy competition.
