Cakes By the Lake

Dough kneading in the background. Rustic bakery setting was very quaint. First of all I don't usually post reviews but the pies I bought were delicious! I bought a variety of four different small pies and wished I bought more. The gentleman behind the counter even gave the kids a Christmas cookie. Value was fanominal as the pies were restaurant quality deliciousness.

Don was very kind to us and even though there was a small problem in the beginning with the cake, Don went out of his way to make things right and we ended up with a perfect cake. Thank you Don, we appreciate your efforts. And we recommend this bakery to those who need a good and quick baker.

Great presentation, taste, and price. The guy there running the shop had a great sense of humor.

Went to this little spot back in 2017 . We were actually lost driving up and down the same road lol. We came upon this place and decided to go in to get our sweet tooth cravings out of the way . Boy did we not know we would fall in love ! We purchased a key lime pie and maaaaaaan I can swear it was the best ive had in my life and that's saying something given I lived in the south ! And that is pretty good competition. By far this place wins it ! Fast forward to December 2019 my husband and I had extremel cravings for key lime pie and as crazy as it sounds we drove from SF to Tahoe just to get a taste of it! We decided to purchase other treats here and we were not left disappointed in any way . Even though key lime pie is not for everyone ,any other treat here will surely satisfy your sweet tooth cravings!!!! I highly highly recommend this place to any and everyone who heads this way you wont be disappointed.

Great cake exacly what I wanted ! He is sooo friendly!

Great place to have fresh baked goods in the morning...the owner opens early if he sees you outside...Don is a very important part of the community...

Great cakes! We had a custom cake made for our oldest 10th BD. She wanted a birthday at Tahoe so we didn't travel with a cake. It was a bunch of 8-10 YO girls standing around watching the cake being made. The interior is very tight and being hand-made means a bit of a wait but nothing unreasonable. Very inexpensive too.
