Whether you’re looking for a surprise to bring home after you visit the dealership, or just to satisfy your craving for fresh baked goods and other treats, we have put together our list of the best bakeries in Rochester, MN.
Check out these six bakeries in Rochester, MN, for their must try sweets and treats.
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Cake-making is an art, requiring just the right ratio of ingredients, mixed in the right order, and baked just long enough, to have a successful, delicious result. The team at Nothing Bundt Cakes is devoted to the art, making bundt cakes and nothing but bundt cakes.
Stop in and place an order for a standard 8-inch or 10-inch cake, or if your needs are less standard, talk to the team about your special event. For larger gatherings, you can order tiered bundt cakes and you can also order novelty items with unique creations such as “bundtlets,” “bundtled towers”, and “bundtinis.”
Choose from 10 flavors and more than 60 designs, customizable to any occasion. Prices range from $4.50 for an individual bundtlet to $22 for a standard 8-inch bundt cake to $64 for a tiered cake. Both curbside pickup and delivery options are available.
By the way, in case you were wondering: A bundt cake is just a cake made in a special pan with a hole in the middle.
Sweet House Bakery
The cake flavor list at Sweet House Bakery includes the standard choices of chocolate and vanilla, as well as more creative tastes including snickerdoodle, Funfetti, maple, red velvet, and spice. If your favorite isn’t on the list, just ask and the team can whip up a custom flavor for you. Customers also have their choice of delicious frostings including caramel and peppermint, as well as flavorful fillings ranging from classics like raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry to more creative options like banana and chocolate ganache.
Frostings and fillings are extra important because Sweet House specializes in layer cakes. Round cakes consist of three layers of cake with frosting or filling in between, while sheet cakes are two layers with frosting or filling in between. Prices vary accordingly, but a basic cake for four starts at $23 while a sheet cake serving 100 people goes for $118.
The bakers at Sweet House do not limit themselves to cakes. You can also order cookies and cupcakes, scones, turnovers, and even raised glazed doughnuts. Stop in to try their one-of-a-kind hot breakfast items as well.
