Let Them Eat Cake?
Thinking about having this Meredith bakery do a custom cake for me.
Yay or nay? Thanks! Dan

Cake is personal, and there's only one way to find out if you like a bakery's style.
For example, everyone raves about Jen's cakes at The Boro, including my wife, but I don't love the frosting. Frederick's in Nashua/Bedford, on the other hand, is perfect in my eyes. Though not many, the reviews for Let Them Eat Cake are excellent, so I'd give it a go. Let us know how it goes, as I'm always on the lookout for summer cakes! Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk |

Bread and Chocolate in Concord
If you're OK with a little drive, Bread and Chocolate on South Main St in Concord would be your best choice. You won't be disappointed.

Village Bakery
Downtown Laconia. They make my favorite cake, dark chocolate with coffee frosting perfect! I'm sure they can do others! Need to order in advance.
Cookies and Cake was my favorite but is no longer in business.

Sweet Caroline bakery Alton
While I haven't personally ordered a cake from them, I have seen good reviews on local websites. Here is a link to their website. I have had some of their other baked goods, very good.

There's cake and then there's cake. The bakery that makes the best Black Forest cake may not do very well with Carrot cake, or cheese cake. Obviously not local, but great cakes: https://carolinescakes.com/ What about an ice cream cake?

I've never seen good frosting on a bakery cake. It always has the feel of sweetened grease. A bakery must make frosting that applies easily and stays photogenic, but the grease detracts from the feel on the tongue. This is a shame, because good frosting is so easy to make, something that melts on the tongue. When I want good cake for myself, I make my own (mother's old recipe), including the frosting, also done the way my mother did.

The food service at my high school used to make large sheet cakes. Not every day.
Different flavors. No frostings. Large pieces. ALL were the best cakes that I have ever had. |

Kelly Klock
Dan, I have had Kelly make a couple of special cakes for us. Her cakes are amazing both with presentation and taste. I can PM you her information if you haven't already settled on someone.

Love Bites
Unfortunately, Love Bites is close. I think Donna Love opened or partnered with Cups and Crumbs. She is no longer there.
Where did Donna Love go?????

Hey there cake lovers, the Market Basket in Plymouth NH, about 1.5-miles from Rt 93-exit 26 has a bakery that will make you a custom cake ...... http://www.shopmarketbasket.com/bake...tom-cake-order
Just look'n for good cake at a reasonable price? Go there early in the morning for their cake, day old markdowns. Something like a 13-oz chocolate loaf cake with cream cheese frosting with a red reduced price sticker; reg $6.79, day old new price $4.86.
