How do I cram everything I want to say about The Front Porch Bake Shop into one review? I was an early enthusiast of Susan’s baking during “lockdown” in 2020, and have thoroughly enjoyed watching the growth of this brilliant concept.

My requests were broad: “the best chocolate cake you make, whatever filling you think is best, vanilla buttercream icing, and nice decorations.

Everything was perfect, fairly priced, and efficiently communicated. Do not look anywhere else for your special event cake- this is your first and last stop! Thank you Susan (and Dave and kiddos and staff!) for your...
