McArthur's Party Cakes

I hadn't been to this bakery in a long time, as it's out in the county. This was our go-to bakery for birthday cakes by us and all our friends. The cake was vanilla with Strawberry & Custard filling with a whipped cream icing that everyone loved. Since I was out that way, I decided to stop in as I had a sweet tooth today. The staff was warm and welcoming when u walked in, along with asking if they could help me. I started browsing the cases and found numerous new items that were never on my radar. Boy, oh boy, was I in heaven,everything looked so darn delicious 😋 😍 I chose 2 strawberries with lemon bread pudding cakes. Now, the next one, I'm not going to be able to explain by name. It has chocolate chips, and I think they are gooey butter cakes. Now the last one is the same. I don't know the name, but its chocolate cake turned upside down and then drizzled with chocolate. Once I taste them, I will let you know for sure. My favorite once spied it was the cherry stolen. It's one of the best-looking ones I've seen anywhere in years. So, of course, I had to have it as well. More to come once I've tasted these delicious looking baked goods. If you've never tried this bakery, stop in and support this locally-owned business that's been catering to the community since 1956! Did I mention there is a sandwich shop & ice cream parlor in there too. If you can't satisfy your appetite here, I'm not sure if my reviews can help you out, as I won't post unless I feel it's a fabulous spot for all to try. Delicious, tasty, satisfying place to get food, sweets, and yes, ice cream, wow!

I picked up a one layer carrot cake for Mother’s Day. After cutting into it to serve it plan to it was has icing. They obviously skimp on the cake mix and make it bigger and more dramatic by laying heavy with the cheaper icing. I won’t be going back.

McArthur's did a glorious job with our event cake. Even though it was not something they had done before, Pat and her team worked with us to take inspiration photos and a description into reality. The cake looked beautiful and received many compliments on its taste. They were also flexible and accommodating with us regarding the delivery window. Job well done!

Wonderful to find that McArthur’s bakery has my favorite cake: an amoretto cake with raspberry filling. Yum! I was able to pick up one large slice that I took home and have been sharing with my husband. I also got a couple donuts. The staff person was very helpful. She even looked up a specific ingredient on the ice cream that I have a food sensitivity to. Thank you!

McArthur's Bakery was our wedding cake vendor. Not only are their flavors mouth watering, but their designs are timeless and beautiful. We stuck with the traditional white wedding cake flavor and us (and our guests) loved it. We opted for a two tier wedding cake with some sheet cakes to be cut in the back - this is definitely the way to go. We plan to have them recreate a smaller version of our cake on our 1 year anniversary. We also opted to have a grooms cake. He chose one of their star wars prints on a marble cake - also delicious. I had received a few quotes from other bakeries on cakes but McArthur's had the most reasonable pricing for our moderate budget while still tasting like heaven.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that was the best turtle frappe (salted caramel and chocolate) I've ever had, and it wasn't too expensive (<$6). It was even served in a nice mason jar with a toooon of whipped cream that didn't get all nasty and melty as I slowly drank it. This place is the perfect place to grab a drink, relax, meet a friend, or get some work done on your own. I didn't partake of anything from the bakery, but I hear it's unbeatable.

I called the week of to order a custom smash cake for my baby’s first birthday party when my other dessert plan fell through. The lady I spoke with to take my order was so friendly and helpful! I got a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and paid a bit extra for the baker to design their own creation (rodeo theme). Super easy pick up the morning of the party. Turned out adorable! Baby LOVED it and the photos are my favorite.

First, I ordered a cake for pickup (German chocolate single layer) and it was ready for pickup at the wrong location. It was delivered to the correct Kirkwood location and I arrived excited to try the amazing cake! That part wasn’t a big deal but I repeated the pickup location 3-4 times on the phone when ordering the cake. Second, I get home and the cake looked beautiful. It was purchased to celebrate my father’s PHD program completion! German chocolate cake is his absolute favorite! However, what a disappointment!!! We cut into the cake only to have it crumble into small pieces and literally fall apart. The only part of the cake we could eat was the frosting which was okay. The coconut was pretty hard and my son could barely chew it. It seemed as if I was given an old cake because I ordered 3-4 days before my scheduled Saturday pickup. I was informed it’s better to order ahead so it can be ready on time when I called with my questions. I will say, I contacted the bakery a few times and no call back (even after I left this detailed voicemail). I had to find another bakery on a Saturday that had a cake for pickup at such short notice…and it wasn’t easy. It’s really sad that no one called me back or cared to apologize for the “old” cake I was given. It is no way possible that the cake was fresh or even just a few days old. It crumbled into small pieces as soon as I tried to cut it. I will not recommend purchasing a cake or placing pickup so many days before to avoid this situation. If you can’t buy the cake made fresh- I wouldn’t risk it. Also the online pictures don’t really look like the cake you pickup but I gave it a shot anyway. Very upset with the quality of cake. For the prices.. we want to be able to enjoy the cake and not have to trash it due to the texture and taste being on the “not so great” side. It’s unacceptable.
