Henri's Bakery is an old Atlanta bakery with two locations: the original store in Buckhead and an OTP location on Roswell Rd. in Sandy Springs (near I-285). Henri's is a bakery and cafe with salads, sandwiches, and desserts. Their sweets selection is rather extensive, with a wide assortment of cakes, breads, doughnuts, Danishes, pies, and French pastries. You can also grab lunch at the deli.
I first learned about Henri's through fellow Yelper Kevin C. He ordered a custom birthday cake. It was made to resemble a Japanese character. The resemblance was uncanny. It turned out so well that Min Y. followed suit and ordered a custom birthday cake of his own. It was equally impressive. Based on these two cakes, I'm convinced the bakers here are very skilled and talented. Note that Henri's is not allowed to create custom cakes using trademarked properties. For example, you couldn't ask them to bake a cake using The Simpsons characters.
The cakes themselves tasted okay. The ears of one of the characters was made of nothing but frosting, so it was more for show than for eating. It looked great, though. Hence, if you need a custom cake, Henri's seems to be one of the places to go.
