Road tripping and in the town of Templeton, CA. We passed by this two story barn looking building…read morewith signage... Templeton Donuts & Deli. They were open and we were feeling a bit peckish and can always make room for a donut or two. So we made a U turn and off we went. The shop is on a corner lot with its own parking lot. Plenty of street parking as well. As we walked in , I quickly saw the glass counter full of picture perfect, colorful donuts sitting pretty waiting for us. These donuts were beautiful. No crinkling and buckling in the frosting. Donut frosting is tricky to get smooth. So many different types of donuts making it hard to decide. We ordered a couple of cake donuts (vanilla with pink frosting and chocolate on chocolate) and a raised chocolate glaze. Mmm. The raised donut was light and airy with the prefect slight yeasty chew. The chocolate glaze was awesome. I've eaten a lot of donuts in my lifetime, these are 5 stars. Besides donuts they serve other pastries; scones, danishes, croissants, and cookies. Breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches $8.95. Quiche ( whole $29.95 or slice $6.95). Local Steins bagels $4 toasted with cream cheese. There is no seating indoors. There were a few tables out on the lawn.We sat at one of the outside tables under the big ole shade tree. Leisurely eating our donuts taking a slow down and soaking in life.

The locals came by to order: An old guy had an apple fritter. A couple kids biking to their first day at school had cinnamon bar and a Dr. Pepper, and a rainbow sprinkle and a Sprite. Another man had a dozen mixed. I had a chocolate peanut donut and a medium coffee for under 5 bucks. Templeton has a genuine small town feel: a sleepy Main Street (in another era Highway 101), a central park with a bandstand, quiet at night, and no streetlights. This shop is in a barn-like structure with 3 tables inside and some tables on the lawn outside, as opposed to a strip mall. (But there's a NRA sign on the lawn. Hmm. It is cowboy country.) A nice stop on the way home from a camping trip.

My wedding cake was BEAUTIFUL! I decided to go with the Cakery after my chef recommended them. Out of all my wedding vendor appointments, this was by far my favorite. They had a great variety to choose from. Definitely not your average choices. After tasting the many different selections, we decided to go with 2 different flavors: white cake with a raspberry marmalade and salted caramel buttercream, as well as devil's food cake with the white cake with raspberry marmalade and salted caramel cream filling was a play on peanut butter and jelly. Since it was so different and tasted exactly like it, we thought it would be perfect for us and our guests. The devil's food cake was the other choice for obvious reasons: we wanted to cater to chocolate lovers! As far as the artistry on the cake, we chose one of their designs that was classic. We chose the Dogwoods cake. It is featured in their cake gallery online. It is simply beautiful! 3 layers of off-white buttercream frosting, with cascading peach-colored handcrafted flowers and blue berries. It was so pretty! When I walked into my venue, they showcased the wedding cake in the center of the dance floor for all to admire as they walked to their seats. I also paid for lighting, with a pinspot on the cake which added a dramatic spotlight. It was so worth it. I had a gelato bar so everyone was able to enjoy their cake with "ice cream"! It was perfect and everything I had hoped for. Thank you, The Cakery, for a deliciously beautiful work of art!

I ordered those plus a couple of other donuts and paid $10.75 including tip. When I got to Smart & Final and looked in the bag, the two buttermilk donuts I had ordered weren't there, so I had to drive back. I paid another $3 for them, and the employee kindly added some donut holes. Unfortunately, every donut I bought was stale. The glaze/chocolate coating was dry, cracked and falling off in pieces, as the photos show. I realize it was 8:30 at night, but for a donut shop that is open 24 hours, I still expected the donuts being sold to be reasonably fresh. I rarely buy donuts, so this was supposed to be a little treat. After spending almost $14 and making a second trip back for the missing donuts, it was really disappointing.
