I am the owner and I am baking out of my home.

We have chosen to close since I was diagnosed with heart failure not too long ago. I still bake out of my home however. If you need a special dessert, please call me at (865) 995.8233 - Cindy

I ordered a cake for my husbands 50th birthday party tonight. It exceeded everything that I wanted on his cake. It was amazingly fresh and really really nicely done! Thank you Spoonful of Sugar you out did your self

Definitely do not recommend. The cake they made for my daughter's birthday was ugly, literally falling apart, and embarrassingly bad. We were so disappointed. She is only 2 and when she saw the cake she said, "Uh oh!" and pointed to where the frosting was sliding off. My family had one piece each of the cake and we tossed the rest. It wasn't worth eating. The cake and the frosting tasted old, as though it had been sitting out for days. The letters of her name on top of the cake fell off and we had to place them back on as best as we could. It was supposed to be gluten free but made my husband sick after eating his piece. I can't believe they thought it was OK to charge me $60 for when we were given. Honestly, so disappointed.

Ordered a cake for my daughter's second birthday here and what I got once someone actually showed up to give me my cake did not inspire confidence in another attempt from this place. It was so bad that my daughter immediately said, \\\"Oh no! It has a booboo!\\\" Lesson learned.

The girl at the counter was so kind and helpful! The choices were out of Willy Wonka! A great experience if you're looking for something sweet and want to support local business!

A first impression is worth way more than business owners may realize. I walked in today to talk about some special orders and was completely blown away by the sincere welcome I received from each person I spoke with. I was able to meet with owner Cindy to share some of my ideas for my sons upcoming wedding and she “got me” and all of my wishes….she totally embraced how special this day is for me and wants to be part of it ! And I left with a box full of goodies….delicious ! So glad I stopped in ! You have earned my personal and professional business for all of my special occasions and just everyday wants ! My sincere appreciation for your kindness!

The owner is so nice and very accommodating. The snickerdoodle cookies are the best I've had in a long time when they're really fresh. I actually crave them. Their turtles are huge and full of caramel. I love the chocolate covered nutter butter cookies. My only issue has been I feel the cupcakes have a bit too much frosting on them. Maybe that sounds crazy but I actually have to take some off every time I get them. It's really, super sweet and I can't do it all. If you love tons of super sweet frosting though you'll love those too. The owner is wonderful though and I keep going back. I'm sure you'll find something you like there.

I hope I can change it to five after my next visit.I had originally ordered several bakery items, and got the chicken salad croissant combo for lunch.Service: nice enough people, but the employee said, "I'll be right back with a fork, because these sandwiches can be really messy." The fork never came, and I also didn't have any napkins. I went up to the counter, and there was no one there. I waited about a minute, finally went to the bathroom and got paper towels to use for napkins.The sandwich consisted of chicken salad and bread. Tasted like store-bought rotisserie chicken, and lots of mayo, nothing to write home about. No lettuce, no tomato, which really surprised me. Especially for the price.The cookie that came with my combo was a snickerdoodle. It was stale and dry, another huge disappointment. I mean seriously, I am sad.If I had any suggestions it would be to add lettuce and tomato to the sandwich, less chicken salad.Have napkins readily available in the dining area.Always have someone at the front counter.Place out a bin for dirty dishes, or at least give instructions to the customers on what to do with their plates when they're done.As I left, I canceled my order for the other bakery items, and just paid for my lunch.I'm hoping as business picks up, the bakery items will not be stale, and that they do something to add a little pizzazz to their chicken salad croissant.
