My friend and I were looking for a bakery open later. We were out shopping and the cashier recommended Desserts by Design. The reviews online were positive and indeed we were lucky to find this bakery. Everything we tried was delicious! Everything was fresh! One of the bakers met us at the counter and they were so friendly and welcoming. The prices are affordable and you will be able to purchase a variety for your money. You can get single pastries or whole cakes. This is definitely going to be on my list when I need to bring a dessert to an event. The buttercream is actually buttercream and not gritty or too sweet.

Wow!!! Delicious desserts every. single. time we stop in!! This visit we got a chocolate brownie, apple tart, scone, and carrot cake. All were AMAZING! Good flavor, super moist, and taste delicious! The staff is super friendly, always helpful, and very patient when trying to decide what we’d like to get (since there are so many good choices..lol). Whenever we are in town we always like to pop in for some delicious treats!

Amazing! I know you don’t “do” wedding cakes, but last weekend your white chocolate mousse cake & a smaller chocolate chip cake were our daughter’s wedding cake and both were just perfect and delicious!!

Deserts by Design is the best!! No joke! I have to have a white cloud cake every year for my birthday. My husband got it for my birthday in 2016 and now it is tradition. Birthdays are not the same without it. They have cookies, pasties, and mini veries of their cakes to buy. But let's be real, would you buy a mini version, or the regular version to have over a couple of days? Lol this bakery will not disappoint with anything you purchase.

Love this place. We picked up our cake from Desserts by Design in Audubon. We ordered the Chocolate Delight which is a dense and moist chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and we all loved it!! The bakery is in a very nice small town in Audubon. The owner/manager and staff are very nice and helpful. We also ordered a variety of cookies, $14/lb, they’re smaller sizes, so delicious that we can’t stop eating them, light and crispy melt in your mouth. We also highly recommend their cream cheese bars, blueberry crumb cake. We still have to try their pies and pound cakes.

Blown away by the cake I just picked up!! I've had cakes from here before and loved them, but never ordered ahead for any type of customization. My mom doesn't like to celebrate her birthday, so we've opted for a Halloween celebration instead. When I mentioned this over the phone, they asked if I'd like the cake to be Halloween themed. I thought little of it and assumed it would just be some cool writing, but when I picked it up I was blown away!! It looks phenomenal and I'm so excited to show her! Also, their pricing is unbeatable! Everyone's in disbelief when I tell them how great their prices are!! The bakery is very clean and everyone who works there is always very kind and helpful. I'd recommend this bakery to anyone!
