We stopped in yesterday on our way back to San Francisco and ended up getting an assortment of things to try: snickerdoodle and ginger spice cookie, a coffee cake muffin, a raspberry lemonade cupcake, a mini pineapple upside down cake, and a slice of gluten free red velvet cake.

Read moreI am from New Orleans, let me start with that. I know good food..... esp. cake. I ordered a cake custom made for my Carmel staff... with very specific design ideas ..less than 24 hours before I needed it. Not only did i get the cake. I got "THE CAKE" IT WAS STUNNING. Not only was it beautiful, it beat every cake maker in the city of New Orleans on taste. It was so good my staff sent me a piece over night via UPS. I kid you not..... it was the best tasting and looking cake I have ever seen. Sweet Reba and her staff deliver like Drew Brees baby....
