★★★★★ 5.0 Ashleigh D'Andrea · Mar 2026

Wherever I go out of town? I always find a bakery to stop at. I AM SO EXCITED AND ENTHRALLED THAT I CHOSE THIS PLACE TO STOP AT! Oh my gosh! They have these 10 LB., if not more, bags of crumbled up Butterscotch cake and it is soooo delicious!! I am so happy with it and I was going to pass it up and thank the Lord that I did not! I highly recommend this huge bag for only $7.50! I paid $1200 at a professional bakery for my ‘dream cake’ and it lacked in every aspect. This $7.50 10-15 LB. Bag of Butterscotch crumbled Cake? THIS IS MY DREAM WEDDING CAKE! I can honestly say that it is that good!!! I am sooo happy with purchasing it, I can hardly contain myself. I also purchased 2 cinnamon rolls for Direct Auction Galleries that I was visiting and they were so appreciative for these cinnamon roll

JR Dessert Bakery is the kind of place that instantly satisfies your sweet tooth. The display case is packed with colorful cakes and pastries that look almost too pretty to cut into. The slices are moist and flavorful without being overly sweet, and you can tell everything is made fresh. It’s a cozy, low-key spot that feels perfect for grabbing dessert after dinner or picking up something special for a celebration. Simple, sweet, and definitely worth the stop if you’re in the mood for a treat.

Such a cute little cake shop 😍 we bought a plain 7” cheesecake ($19) and it was amazing. The whole pies come frozen and requires 4-5 hours of defrosting though so buy them ahead of time. We will definitely try some more flavors later.

Ordered this cake for a baby shower and it was perfection! Delicious, great job of edible decorations, rave reviews from everyone who’s had some! Ordered by phone from out of state and it was so easy! Natalie was very helpful in the ordering process. When we picked it up it was ready and the young lady at the store was helpful as well. Most importantly was the taste and moistness of the cake. Not overly sweet, just right! Cheryl West

Cream cheese on top of this pumpkin cupcake is amazing. Not overly sweet and is exceptionally light.. cupcake itself is moist and well balanced flavor. Cherry and apple pie both look delicious.. will update once we tried it.
