Baking Up A Storm

We've eaten there so many times and with each visit, we come to appreciate how good the pastries are! We love to grab a caramel roll and sit overlooking the lake. His lunch specials are so tasty as well.

I will happily give all 5 stars for Baking Up a Storm. I have not had anything that was not absolutely mouth watering Amazing. Alex the Chef and rest of staff are so customer friendly. I love sitting there and enjoying the spectacular view of the lake while having my coffee and pastries. Best in Sioux Falls. A must go to place.

The pastries here are amazing! Alex has been very easy to work with if we need extra items, outside of our usual order. We get daily deliveries and the quality never wavers. I would definitely recommend him!

Highly recommend Baking up a Storm! I have bought Alex's pastries and loved them! Most impressive I bought his holiday baking tray! Can't wait to go back and enjoy more of his creations!!! The view overlooking Lake Lorraine would be fun to stay, sit and eat!

This has to be one of the most disappointing reviews that I have left on a business. I was browsing around different bakery options to prepare a cake for my birthday, and was excited to find this small local business that had just opened up in a developing part of town. The price seemed expensive over the phone, $80+ for an 8 inch red velvet cake. That said, I was running short on time and I thought it would be nice to give a new business a shot. Surely, a cake at that price would be good quality and something for my family to enjoy on my birthday. The first thing we noticed when picking up the cake was that it was fairly short. Then, we saw the top of the cake and were astonished at the white lettering used on the white cake. The only explanation offered was that it's cream cheese frosting. The lettering on the cake was clearly rushed and misaligned, and did not reflect professional work. We didn't have time to explore any other options, so I went through with the order hoping that the taste could make up for the appearance (surely at $85!). By the time we got the cake ready to eat at the party, I took it out of the box and noticed it was dilapidated (one side was clearly taller than the other). The taste of the cake unfortunately did nothing to redeem it. Though the texture of the cake itself was nice, the cream cheese frosting did not have the thick texture that I would hope for, and both the cake and frosting seemed largely devoid of flavor. Many people at the party refused to finish their slice and we ultimately discarded the leftover parts of the cake. If the taste of the cake had gotten anywhere close to reflecting the price, this review could have been a higher score. That said, the presentation got the cake off to a bad start and the taste had no redeeming qualities. This was ordered on short notice, but this experience means I will not be returning here and would not recommend it to anyone else.
