Special ordered a cannoli cake for my daughter's birthday. It was AMAZING! Everyone I dealt with was friendly & helpful. They have a huge assortment of pastries, each on looks better than the next! This is definitely my go-to for baked goods.

I've bought two cakes for my parent's birthdays this year and they loved them. I wish I had taken a picture of my dad's face yesterday when I opened the box with his cake in it. We hadn't had Red Velvet cake in a long time. It was already made but my family enjoyed it. The photo of a cake looks a little weird because it had just been sliced. I bought a cookie platter for my students for Valentine's Day. I was concerned they wouldn't eat them all. My students and other staff ate the entire platter within a week. Thank you Barb's bakery!

Adding to my review...I’m beyond thrilled with my birthday cake! I keep looking at my pictures and showing it off to everyone. This year was a big one—I turned 50 years young! Since I was 5, I’ve had the same birthday cake every single year, but I decided to celebrate this milestone by doing something completely different. The flavor combination we chose ended up being a close version of the wedding cake I always wanted but never had, which made it even more special.Thank you for always creating such amazing desserts for all of my family’s special occasions—you’ve truly made them unforgettable. 🩷And yes, I’m proudly a Jimmy Buffett Parrothead 🦜🦈🍔🕔🍹Original review:LOVE my CAKE!!! Thank you David and Norma for working on this with me. I had a vision and you both made it happen. Beautiful cake design and it tasted amazing. 👏 👏👏 Barb's Bakery is truly the best in Phoenix!

The best desserts in Phoenix. Celebrating our 12 year Anniversary. Every year we order cupcakes and tiramisu in memory of our wedding day. Tastes like a dream that you don’t want to wake up from. That’s why we always get 4 of both so we can enjoy for a few days. We get cookies on holidays and mothers/ Father’s Day, birthdays. We love Barbs Bakery.
