Bottom Line: Fudge bacon brownie had serious heft, but came up short on namesake flavors or integrity/structure. Top Line: Picked up a Blue Horse fudge bacon brownie $6 at Brendyn's BBQ yesterday along with a meal, saving the brownie as a treat for today. So returned to Brendyn's this afternoon to get tea for eating the brownie. Brownie is seriously heavy!! Very, very moist beneath the layer of baby chocolate chips and extraordinarily tender of crumb. Too much so I found. The block of chocolate cake-like brownie crumbled into pieces as I tried to pick it up. I finally resorted to pinching off small wads of it to pop into my mouth. While being very moist with oil density, the flavor profile was about on par with a supermarket bakery brownie. Plenty of chocolate taste, but minimal (if any) bacon smokiness shining through. Fudge's buttery brown sugar sweetness or cream's richness were likewise AWOL. So I'd say this was a decent $2.50 brownie. But nowhere near justifying the $6 ticket price I paid to get it, in spite of its moistness. If I'm in the neighborhood of Blue Horse's sticks 'n bricks location I may hit them up for a cupcake or some such to see how that flies. But no more brownies from them for me.

So four years later (2021 summer), my review remains the same. I actually placed an order for a cake, it looked very nice however it was really dry. I'm not sure why they made it so tall either, is that an "IN" thing? It was hard to cut and honestly didn't even fit a dessert plate LOL. I dunno maybe there's a way to cut that style. My request was last mintute but I don't really thing it would've been a big deal anyway because they had duplicates already on the table. It was okay, I wouldn't order it again though TBH. It's a cute bakery but there needs to be a few improvements on taste/texture. The coffee isn't that great either but there's not really a lot of options around. I know the next day after the Festival there was a coffee truck on the main square and that was GOOD! I can't remember the name of it but if there's a coffee truck in that area, they serve some BAD AS coffee!

I want to give Blue Horse a major shout out. They surpassed my expectations. I gave them a basic idea of what I wanted and they brought it to life. They also squeezed me, I came in with less than a weeks notice and they were able to squeeze me in despite their holiday schedule. Thank you so much my Officers loved them!

We used Blue Horse Bakery to make our wedding cake. Communication was a bit of a struggle initially, but once we physically went into their shop and spoke to someone everything was fine. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and tasted even better than it looked. I will definitely be using them for all my cake needs in the future.

Best cake I’ve ever had! I am a wedding coordinator so I taste a lot of cakes every year. This was the best!

Wanted to give a HUGE shout out to Blue Horse Bakery in Nacogdoches. They made the cake for my son's baptism and it was by far the best cake I have ever had. Plus, it looked so beautiful we were wary of even cutting into it!! As if it couldn't get any better, the owner herself delivered it to our door and we had a lovely chat with her. That's the kind of hospitality and exceptional service you get when you choose our hometown small businesses. Thank you so much Blue Horse Bakery!! We are getting our cakes exclusively from them starting now ❤

Loved the Red Velvet Cupcakes, I had 2 the Red Velvet Cookies on top are A plus. The only problem now is I’m going to have to break myself from going there specifically for the Cupcakes lol.?
Customer service was not great, it took me awhile to get my order placed...got a lot of "we'll call you back's" (they didn't) and unanswered emails. I was told they were swamped with weddings and other events, which is understandable, but in that case they could have just told me they didn't have time to make my cake. Finally got my order placed and was told I could pick it up at 11:00. Come to find out they didn't even open until 12; luckily someone was there so we were able to knock on the door and get in to pick up our cake. They acted a little put out about it, but coming at noon wouldn't have been an issue at all but I was never told they wouldn't be open at 11. After all of that, I am happy to say the cake was delicious and was very pretty. I have ordered from them before and had great customer service so I was a little surprised at the lack of response and help this time around.

I live outta town and I wanted to send a cake to my sister and her family. Blue Horse Bakery made them a delicious cake and delivered it to my sister's house too! I found the price to be good, the customer service to be great, and, from what I heard, their cake is delicious. All around Blue Horse Bakery I am very happy choosing them to send my sister and her family a cake from outta the blue. If I ever need another cake made, or if YOU do, then I'll ORDER from them again.
