Butter Cakery — Restaurant in Natchez

I love fresh baked goods. You love baked goods too? I’m willing to bet that you don’t love them as much as I do. I really love them. My waist line can attest to that. I’m obsessed. I Googled and found “Butter Cakery”. We all agreed to sprint there since they closed in 15 minutes.

We had no idea what to expect, then we opened the door. We were instantly transported to a corner of Paris in Natchez. The artwork, the marble, everything feels so Oui Paris.

Come along. You’re going with me!!

The case of baked items had me drooling on the glass. The cupcakes were calling my name. Coconut. Belgian chocolate. Vanilla. All baked in paper cups and begging me to try them all. It was so hard to decide. I see a beautiful domed cake plate with the most gorgeous Belgian chocolate chip cookies. I must get one of those too. The macarons are stunning; like something in a magazine. I make my selections. She is boxing up my items in the cutest boxes and I’m giddy with excitement. I’m very proud of myself and at this point and happy with my Google find. I sat down and took one bite of that coconut cupcake. When I tell you that I floated off of my seat, I am not kidding. The crumb of the cupcake was perfection, that crème filling was heaven and the frosting was sheer delight. The balance of coconut flavor could not have been better!

My aunt had a lemon cookie with creme cheese frosting and a lemon curd. So delicious! Lemon curd with the perfect tanginess (is that word? I just made it one!) and it didn’t have any trace of egg taste. I tried the Belgian chocolate chip cookie and lavender cookie and got another cupcake to consume tonight and tomorrow. Everything was just that amazing. We can’t wait to finish the rest later today and tomorrow morning.

Listen folks, you are missing out if you don’t try this place. Butter Cakery is a hidden gem but let’s not keep it hidden. Everyone should enjoy this level of baking skills. Everything is baked there and you can tell with each bite.

We chatted with the owner while we consumed our goods. She is absolutely delightful. We all left feeling happier than we did...

I am from Central Mississippi, I was visiting for a business competition. During some free time, I saw the cutest bakery open and just had to visit. It was a little late, so I came the next day (today) and got a few treats with my friend. I got some sweetened black mango iced tea and a lemon blue berry cupcake. She got two lavender cookies, a strawberry cupcake, and a raspberry cupcake.

As I was walking, before we even opened the food, I popped a straw into the cup and took a careful sip of the tea. Wow. This tea is the best drink I have ever had. I described to the person running it behind the counter what I wanted, (a nice sweet tea similar to southern sweet tea but herbal), and she got exactly what I meant. I would have never expected this bakery to make what is now my most favorite thing in the world. This is a featured drink, so to my understanding, it can't always be iced. But, this is okay for me as I can't come back for a long long time.

Now, going on to the food after a long ramble of the tea (my favorite part). We both decided to dig into the cupcake I got her first, the lemon blueberry. Let me tell you, that cupcake was beyond fresh. It was soft, it crumbled a little due to the blueberries on the inside, but it was all cooked to perfection. I had never known or even realized fruit could be cooked into a sweet so we'll where it mingled with the vanilla batter yet stayed in contact to be chewy and soft just like a fresh picked blueberry. Though focusing on the blueberries, you should not forget the buttery and rich icing of lemon that complimented the flavors. I personally hate icing, but this place has the most flavorable, most smooth, and most creamy icing similar to whipped cream yet icing at the same time.

I tipped two dollars to this place, one being for me and the other being for my friend. It hurts my heart to know I can not donate more to this delicious and beautiful place. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff was super friendly. I can never come again due to the distance, but this will be forever my favorite...

if you are a lover of food, this is the shop for you. if you want baked goods that are full of interesting and complex flavors, remind you of waking up to the smell of fresh baked treats from your childhood, this is the bakery for you. every cookie, cupcake and cake slice strikes the perfect balance between sweet and aromatic. the lavender cookies are out of this world, the banana pudding is irresistible, and the berry chantilly cupcakes will blow your mind. people drive from as far as monroe, louisiana just to check on the new flavors. but be warned, if you're just looking for deserts that make your teeth hurt because they're packed full of sugar, this isn't the...
