L & P Cake & Candy Shoppe — Local services in Marion

Between myself, my four kids, their partners, my parents, special events cropping up each year (anniversaries, graduations, baby showers, and who knows what else), we easily order around ten cakes a year from L&P each year, because they are absolutely delicious.

They do their best to match a design you request, however, if you are looking for the perfect looking cake, their airbrush design will not meet the perfection standard. We do have a running gag about rushing to see what our new cake looks like, and how it ranks in line with past decorations.

But even with that said, the icing, moistness of the cake, and basically everything when it comes down to the taste can absolutely not be beat locally, and it has kept us coming back repeatedly because it's 100% worth it in terms of flavor. Every cake from L&P in my house is always polished off in the following days after a celebration.

They are also extremely accommodating about last-minute requests for sheet cakes. This has helped me out more than once, and saved me from making a run to a chain store to purchase a cake that would be much less enjoyable, and would would sit uneaten on my counter until it was thrown...

The Cake is sloppy made I honestly rushed to get a cake last minute but I could do a better job than what I purchased at pick up. Directions were very simple and plain and a picture sent email including the way it was to be, very basic white with dots on side somehow it's circled cake not rectangular as requested and no dots, design was elephants but boy and girl ones looked like 2 different "elephants" than pictured, a few people who attended actually had said something about the cake asking if i made it myself.. For last minute this coukd have been alot better. The Icing on top was like an ocean wave thicker, very sweet almost too rich, semi-dry as the cake wasnt cared for properly while icing and decorating but overall not the worst cake I have tried so 1 star for the effort and the other stories I've been told are good. Maybe its the style cakes they can do better...

I ordered a cake two days before I needed to pick it up. They were able to have it done for me in such short notice. The lady walked me through what I wanted and was very helpful. When I went to pick up the cake they closed at one. I was ten minutes late but the lady waited on me until I got there. All and all, if there was ten stars I would rate them a ten out of ten. For being a local business, their prices were not bad at all, and the cake and cupcakes turned out magnificent. They were soft and moist, and the icing was delicious. It was exactly what I wanted. Thank you L&P for helping me make this party for my sister possible. I...
