Dessert First Bakery

Laurie was so kind to work with me to make a gender reveal cake for me and my husband. We got our wedding cake from her about 2 years ago and she used the same frosting + cake recipe, which was so special (which is why the outside is pink - raspberry frosting by request!). She was so easy to work with and made this experience so special for us. Highly recommend for any dessert need, but especially special occasions!!!!

We stopped here for some morning treats during a recent stay at a local AirBNB. This place has lots of small-town goodness. An older gentleman came in and the staff recognized him and chatted with him, and I just love the charm it lent to this bakery experience.

We settled on a delicious slice of chocolate chip bread and a cinnamon roll. The bread was really thick, heavy like a pound cake, and studded with chocolate chips. What was not to love? The cinnamon roll had crunchy edges, but someone has to eat the rolls that line the outside of the pan. After that outer layer, there was so much cinnamon goodness, and it was thick and plentiful. The roll itself was the perfect blend of chewiness and dough, not too bread-like at all. The cream cheese frosting was generous and delicious. All in all, I'd come back in a heartbeat for more treats!

They do have an ATM in case you need cash. Street parking was easy to find.

Lori is fantastic! You can't go wrong with any thing she makes- savory or sweet! She is very accommodating when it comes to flavors/designs. Great prices for quantity of what you order. She does wedding cake tastings in house that never disappoint. Give her a call!! You'll be glad you did

She made beautiful mini pies for our wedding!!! Fabulous and adorable in five flavors: chocolate silk, coconut cream, berry crumble, strawberry rhubarb, and cherry! She delivered and arranged them for free. Her pricing is beyond reasonable! We couldn't be happier with her and the pies were such a hit with all our guests:)

She was such a lovely person to work with for our wedding cake!
Not only did she deliver a cake that she had never done before... It came out beautiful... And to feed about 100.... The cake was only charged at 245!!!!!!!
( We tipped big time)....
She also put together beautiful tasting cupcakes for my husband and I before... On VERY SHORT notice.
She delivered to the venue for no charge ( we were in Santa Cruz though)
All of our guests LOVED the lemon and raspberry layers we picked. Amazing, Buttercream done perfectly...

This place makes the absolute best coffee cake on this planet. I challenge you to find me better. I had it for the first time years ago at the White Raven in Felton and my mind was blown forever. There simply is no other coffee cake. There is only Dessert First Bakery coffee cake. Insane. Please never stop making this product!

What a find! Just had Lori make a fabulous chocolate truffle birthday cake for me and also the most incredible fresh fruit tart for those not big on chocolate. I can't say enough about the quality of her creations and her customer service! I will definitely be purchasing more from her in the future!

After calling other bakeries for my destination wedding, I was able to find Louri. She was the most nicest, sweetest, and helpful person I have ever met. She was able to make my dream came into a reality. I loved my cake and all who I invited loved the cake. Her cake was very affordable and she even delivered which was what I needed. I would recommend this place 110%.

We ordered desserts from Lori for our Roaring Camp wedding in November 2021, and everything was amazing! We chose a small two-tier cutting cake, as well as mini cupcakes, eclairs, mini pies, and brownies. The cake flavor we chose was orange, which was THE BEST cake I've ever had. Sadly we left the very next morning for our honeymoon, and I wasn't able to save some for our return, but I brought a big chunk of it with me on the way to the airport and just sat there in the car eating cake for breakfast - refusing to let it go. We'll have to order a small one someday soon! Lori was super sweet to work with, and set everything up beautifully with the dessert trays I'd bought. She was also very reasonably priced, which we appreciate living in the Bay Area. (And came highly recommended by the Roaring Camp staff!) Please do not hesitate to schedule a tasting with her for your wedding.

Dessert first is the best. Love all of their baked goods. Just ordered holiday pies and pumpkin cheesecake!
