Take Kelly Goad’s experience, for example, who ordered a custom cake for a retirement party—an impressive half strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting and real sliced strawberries paired with a deep, indulgent dark chocolate cake layered with ganache. The rave reviews from nearly 50 guests attest not only to the cake’s exquisite taste but also to its beautiful presentation, embodying the passion poured into each creation.

Other patrons like K S have marveled at the personalized service and delightful pastries like the pumpkin whoopie pie, with a cinnamon crunch topping that leaves a memorable impression. Jaq Harding’s fondness for the mini orange cake and the exceptional chocolates only echoes what many feel: Kirkwood Sweet Shop doesn’t just sell sweets, it crafts experiences to return to again and again.
