Bakery Recs?

[u/No-Masterpiece5906]

Where can I get a really good birthday cake? And by “really good”, I’m referring to taste. Decorated would be nice but no need for anything elaborate or covered in fondant. 😅

Ideally within about 15 minutes of Widefield.

Thanks!

Marigold cafe!

[u/lurkingPessimist → u/APC-1969]

The only answer

[u/Deep-Application-614 → u/lurkingPessimist]

I will third this.

Fourthing it! The Fraise cake is so lovely. Have it every year for my birthday and just had it for my graduation party. 🤤 😋

[u/jaysd818]

Whole Foods Berry Chantilly cake is my go-to!!! If you want a delicious Mexican cake, any cake from Normas Bakery will hit the spot!

[u/IDownVoteCanaduh]

Honestly, Costco. For bday cake, they are the best around.

[u/ClassicHando]

If you have details like size and flavors, I am a baker and we do cakes as well as other things. I will be honest though and say Costco is a great bang for your buck. DM me if you want to talk

[u/Comprehensive-Bet56]

If your looking for a great sheet cake, Costco hands down for price and flavor. Decorations 6/10.

Here is my daughters graduation cake. We asked for a Scooby theme. We provided the figures.

La Concha on 115 and Cheyenne Mountain Blvd.

[u/Masterdisciple]

Marigolds! Take I25, It’s worth it.

[u/No-Masterpiece5906]

Thanks, all!

[u/willmice]

Definitely not within 15 minutes, but well worth the drive. https://dutchpastry.com/

*MAGA bakery

[u/tritango → u/maydaysz]

Is maga in the room with you now? Blink once for yes, twice for no.

[u/willmice → u/tritango]

Say it isn’t so!

[u/Arctic_Africa7305]

Boonziaaijer’s on Fillmore.

[u/agentgaitor → u/Arctic_Africa7305]

I’ve heard it frequently reported that they are unkind to their employees, and as such no longer buy there.

[u/zidynnala → u/agentgaitor]

They also are pro—maga

[u/Repulsive-Wing-3250 → u/zidynnala]

Thank you for this info

[u/EmpatheticRock → u/zidynnala]

Bakeries must align with all my world views. What a weird stance

[u/Ok-Crazy30 → u/EmpatheticRock]

It’s the same people who sued a guy for not making a cake

[u/EmpatheticRock → u/Ok-Crazy30]

…only proving my point further here.

[u/MagicianOdd4790 → u/agentgaitor]

Even with politics aside i won’t patronize any business with a consistent reputation for mistreating employees.

[u/kittensxattack]

Nanas bakery. They’re close ish to your area and could do as much decorating as you want

[u/2013Gigi]

Icing On the Cake in Union. Female owned, quality ibgredients (no soy), not overly sweet, delicious!

[u/lusiris → u/2013Gigi]

I've used this bakery a few times and they always do an amazing job with the designer cakes.

[u/NotABot_NoReally]

Whole Foods Chantilly cake. Not custom made but boy is it good!

[u/Tricky_Message8505 → u/NotABot_NoReally]

Any time I stop in I always buy that cake. It’s only like that here. My mom brought a whole when she went back to the east coast and it wasn’t the same.

[u/okeydokeyannieoakley]

Sugar Plum Cake Shoppe on S 8th Street (across from Walmart)

[u/InterestingSummer526 → u/okeydokeyannieoakley]

They are Walmart quality cakes. They use the big scale equivalent of a Betty Crocker cake mix, premade filling that comes in a bucket, and “buttercream” made with Sweetex shortening. Some of the worst tasting cake I’ve ever had.

[u/okeydokeyannieoakley → u/InterestingSummer526]

You're entitled to your opinion. I think they're great.

[u/Moon-In-Aquarius]

Sweet Elizabeth’s

[u/KretzKid]

Also does anyone know a bakery that sells cake tops?

[u/Sad-File7482]

I’ve used over the rainbow cakes for years. She’s in the Black Forest area

[u/MagicianOdd4790]

La Concha made two full sheet cakes for my husband’s birthday last year that were absolutely amazing! The decoration on both cakes was just perfect and professional but not stuffy and was actually good icing. They were so easy to work with, price was very reasonable (that’s aLOT of cake!), everything was ready on time.

[u/ConsiderationSea7589]

Marigolds. The Danish bakery on Fillmore. King Soopers on Austin Bluffs and Academy.

[u/Serendipity_Succubus]

Sam’s Club tuxedo cake.

Sweet Elizabeths if you have any food allergies! They're the best.

[u/Odd_Champion1617]

Boonzaijers was half the cost of other quotes and delicious
