★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Schroyer Family Daily (Arren Schroyer) · Aug 2023

I'm so upset with this company for the simple fact that they don't listen or follow instructions, and a day like our wedding day it was not supposed to be this way at all. My wife and I ordered a wedding cake that was supposed to be three tiers high and have some elegant and rustic touches, but instead we got a 1 tier disaster that looked like a catchers mit meant for a four year old in little league. We sent the person in charge a picture of the three tier wedding cake and they said they would have it done and ready for pickup the day of our wedding which sounded great, but when we sent our son to pick it up he was even shocked to know this cake was going to be our wedding cake. We decided to go to Walmart and get cupcakes for our 200 plus guest. Can you believe that? Cupcakes.....and to

It's one of the best bakeries in Minnesota, hands down!!!! Everything is made there. The homemade bread is the best! The pot pies and pasties are super filling, and the sweets are ✨️amazing✨️Every time I come to visit this town, I always have to come here and get my fill.

We used Pep's bake shop for our wedding cake and were so pleased with the result! The girls were great and easy to work with as well. We weren't too sure what we wanted as far as decorations on our cake, but we picked out some pieces and the girls made it look very elegant! Highly recommend, and the cake tasted delicious as well!

We come here for one thing only: their POTICA bread! (Pronounced Poh-teet-suh - rhymes with ‘pizza’) - it’s a cute and retro little shop on the main street in old Virginia. They make the recipe that the Italian bakery in town used to make before they went out of business- it’s in the same box and everything. There is another bakery in Hibbing that makes potica but theirs is far inferior in my opinion. This shop had fire damage due to an upstairs residence catching fire recently, and when we arrived the shop was being repaired and they weren’t really open yet, but when we asked about the potica the owner lit and and said he has just made a batch! He came out with a freshly boxed potica! I hope they get fully up and running again soon. Definitely go!
