I'm looking for a swell place to get a truckload of sugar, butter, and flour to the face.

My perfect place would sell a slice of cake or cupful of cake for under 5 bucks. Also it would have a handful of ingredients unlike typical grocery store options which have about 500.

I feel that nothing can really beat the homemade option, but, thanks to me, my wife has a raft of children and when our sugar craving hits at about 9PM, we are out of luck.

So you want a small amount of cake for $5 but not from a grocery store?

Yes, something like this

True- but none of us sell individual portions.

Something like this? Open until 10. Good Luck Good Time Tea House https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100045659123814

They have some great bakery offerings.

In reply to Lonestarandi That's honestly probably the best suggestion! She has amazingly good cakes and other baked goods, and she does sell by the slice


Don't know why I didn't think of it. I go there quite a bit.

Have you considered Nothing Bundt Cakes?

Koala Bakery and Cafe. Great stuff.

Thanks for the info everyone. I do like nothing bundt cakes, but I'm trying to avoid seed oils. I'd hate to shorten my lifespan (no pun intended), I have a lot of cake to eat.

In reply to Zackdh9 If you have dietary restrictions, try Kettlebelle

In reply to histag10 could not find any cakes by that name

You need to find, or start, a cake collective. A group of people who only want a single slice a day of cake. You could even start a mail order service. Think of all the possibilities.

She does gluten free, but I believe she also does other dietary restrictions.

I do some sugar free, but it's expensive and I only have a few clients I do it for.

So dang good

I sell 4" mini pies for $5/each. I have several customers who order multiple then vacuum seal and freeze. They reheat really well in the oven.

They must be ordered in advance though. I don't just keep them on hand.

Thanks all for the suggestions. +1 for 1541, their chocolate cake is amazing. I do wish they had more varieties though, if only a simple vanilla cake.

Kool, i'll go try kettlebell!

Her bakery is on Carson near Bomber's Ball Park in Bryan. It shares a building with CrossFit Obey (her husband). Her stuff is yummy, you'd never know it was missing the usual stuff. 408 W Carson Street, Bryan, Texas 77801

Oops, I guess it is 410 Carson. Same exact building as 408 Carson. Just the front left corner as you face it.

Come eat desserts.

Then go next door and work them off.

Next up: a bar with an AA meeting space next door.

In reply to maroon barchetta That's the idea I eat dessert every day, and still, i look as though donatello chiseled my body out of a great, sturdy, marble stone.

Even Buddha has been chisled out of stone....

Zack - Blue Baker also makes their own bread and doesn't use preservatives or artificial ingredients. Their sweet breads (like a coffee cake) are really good.

This is outside of town, obviously, but Truth BBQ in Brenham has the best cake I've ever tasted. And I've had a LOT of really good wedding cakes.
