Indy, You Stole My Heart (And Sweet Tooth!) 🍰💖

🏰 A Fairytale in the Midwest 📍 Carmel City Center (20min from downtown) European vibes 🏡: Pastel buildings, cobblestone paths, and boutique shops (Polish pottery, handmade goods, Mackenzie-Childs galore—more stock than their website!). The Cake Bake Shop = Barbie’s dream café 🎀: Pink everything, braided-apron servers, and glitter-dusted cakes/drinks ✨. 🍽️ Sweet & Savory Magic Tea for $6, cake slices bigger than entrees ($10-15, "feeds 10!" joked a local grandma). Not cloyingly sweet—finally, American dessert done right! 🌟 Why It’s Worth It Instagram heaven 📸: Floral walls, vintage china, and that "am I in Europe? Carmel’s charm > Indy’s downtown (fight me!). Stroll, shop, and pretend you’re not in the Midwest for a day. Verdict: The real Indy highlight—saved my trip from brunch purgatory! 🙌 #Indy #HiddenGems #CakeLover #TravelIndiana #MidwestMagic 🧁💫
