    There were some sweet girls working today when I went. The one that helped me was so friendly and had so much patience while I asked a million questions. The manager and I had a good laugh about the message on my cake because it said "It's a Boy". She she made it look so beautiful!! I got it for my girlfriend who definitely doesn't want kids and neither do I. I already ate my chocolate chip cookie and just had a piece of the cake as well. O my gosh! This place gets an A+ from me. I have a major sweet tooth and a lot of experience visiting bakeries. They are killing it!! Thank you all for the delicious treats!!

    Harter's made a cake for our daughter-in-law's baby shower. It was beautiful, light and airy tasting, and not super sugary. It is an older bakery where you buy cakes, bread, etc. and take them away, so atmosphere is not an issue.

    I have been coming here for cakes and cookies since moving to south county, (almost 5 years) and they are so delicious and pretty!! My family almost never even orders custom cakes because their premade designs are too perfect and they write any message you want at no added cost which is really handy and generous. The best time to visit is around any holiday big or small because they have the most festive cake designs. Also they have more cake sizes than other places, particularly the 1/8th and super small ones are perfect for celebrating a special occasion with just small group/couple. This place is truly a gem and I can’t rave enough about their work!

    Everything they make here is pure PERFECTION!! My family lives in the area and anytime I come to visit them, I make it a point to come here every single time. The cookies are always fresh and taste sooooo good. Their cakes and cupcakes are high quality and the flavor is amazing. Everything stays fresh for a few days which is great because I usually buy a bunch and take it back home to Nebraska with me and it will be fresh days later. All of the prices are sooo reasonable for the quality. I think the cookies are like $2 each? Maybe even cheaper! If you’re looking for a birthday cake or just a sweet treat, I highly recommend this place, it never disappoints!!

    Called up looking for a custom cake, and the service was great! They quickly took the order over the phone, and asked what we wanted. I said, it's a Jungle theme and hos favorite animal is gorillas. They said no problem, and they were spot on! The cake was beautiful. Chocolate filling, half yellow half chocolate and reasonable price! We will definitely be coming back for all our special events.
