A Piece of Cake Bakery

This bakery is the best in Augusta! I visit this place frequently, since a large part of my job consists of delivering goodies to our colleagues for birthdays, thank-​you, etc. They have everything: cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pastries, cake pops, petit fours, etc. and they are ALL great! The cake is so flavorful and never dry. I love the service that I get here — they didn’t take long to get to know me and my needs, and often offer suggestions for new and creative goodies for my next «run.» And sometimes when I have an off-​the-​wall idea for a cake, they are always up for the challenge and they never disappoint! If you need sweets for a big event or just a drive-​by cookie fix, A Piece of Cake is the place to go!

I’ve ordered three cakes from here and they each looked good and tasted great. So I figured that maybe I would order some pies from them since the cakes were really good. Well, I ordered a sweet potato pie and an apple pie. The sweet potato pie was horrible. The filling was lumpy and bland. I threw it away and made my own. The apple pie tasted and looked good; however, once I sliced it, the filling was runny and the crust crumbled. I placed the apple pie in the refrigerator for almost 24 hrs thinking maybe it had to set and we still had to scrape the apple pie onto our plates. At $ 15 per pie, I expected way better than what I was given. Don’t order their pies only their cakes.

Had a birthday cake here for my dad, it was his 60^th birthday. I did the picture on top of cake called the edible image. Ok well when I picked it up it looked like a 6 yo cake with swirls on side with the picture on the top and name around base of cake. Not what I was expecting for a 60 yo man. I thought the cake was dry and the decorations horrible. The reason that I had this type of cake done was because I have had this done before with edible image and it was the best cake ever! Same specifications for the second and it was a sure disappointment. I did receive a credit for the cake but as you know it’s the experience of that day that wasn’t the best since the cake is normally the center of the celebration. I will give them another try but not for such a big occasion. Hopefully the third time around will be better.

We celebrated the hubby’s birthday with a chocolate and Oreo cake and it was a huge hit with the ever picky (and dieting) birthday boy.
The chocolate cake itself was moist, not oily and not too sweet. I don’t know how they do it but it got a lot of nods of approval from a very picky group.
I love the open work area that allows you to see the operations and hard work that goes into icing and decorating the cakes themselves. Even at 4:00 on a Thursday, the line was long and the case was chock full of goodies.
My husband is still licking his lips thinking about the Oreo frosting. I may have to go back for a pint of it and see if they’ll make a dozen petit fours with said Oreo concoction. It’s just that good.

It’s no secret that I love sweets. I stopped at A piece of Cake to get a box of cookies for a client. It was the week before Easter and they had plenty of Easter type goodies. I did a box of 2 dozen cookies, and included chocolate chip, chocolate with chocolate chips, Reese’s PB cookies, and Easter Sugar cookies. When I dropped them off my clients were VERY excited.
I was certainly not going to leave without getting something for myself!
My bag included a lemon square, a snicker doodle, and a chocolate chip doozie. I planned to snack on them over the course of the next 2 days. AS IF! That Lemon Square was in my mouth before I’d pulled out of the parking lot! It was delicious. The snicker doodle went next. Good flavor, but just a tiny bit to done. Those cookies must be super soft. Some how before I got home the doozie was gone too… Two chocolate chip cookies sandwiching frosting. Yes, that is one of my favorite things! YUM!
I spoke to the lady in the shop about pre-​orders. She said just doing 2 dozen or so cookies was no big deal, but for larger orders to call ahead so they don’t wipe out the cases. They had lots of cakes and cookies– and I could see a group of ladies sitting and working on what must have been custom cake orders.
Stop in and treat yourself!

I ordered a Black Forest Cake last week. I asked them if they have the chocolate crumble outside, they told me they would put it. When I took it, I was extremely disappointed. The cake is not even a Black Forest cake except the cherry topper. It’s more like a chocolate moose. When I talked to them, they insisted this was what a Black Forest cake should be. I actually make cakes by myself sometimes. This bakery store is very unprofessional.

Smells great inside! Beware! I’ve seen sooooo many cakes and various desserts that this bakery has produced and I recently experienced greatness! When I pulled into the parking lot, I won’t lie… I did a happy dance. The sign read «Open» and it was swarming with people. I walked in and was greeted by the smell of baked goods. The staff didn’t greet me right away, but that was fine because I was too busy trying to figure out what I was going to buy. They were all immersed in decorating an elaborate cake, which looked like it was for a Sweet 16 party.
After snapping out of the trance I was in– I was ready to order. I recently moved into a new decade of life, so I promised myself I’d cut back on the sugar. So instead of ordering a dozen cupcakes like I did in the past, I ordered two cupcakes (pats self on back). This chocolate chip cupcake spoke to me. I know this flavor isn’t out of the ordinary, but it sat there topped with a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie, how could I say «no?» Then there was a beautifully decorated holiday cupcake and I ordered that one too. The cupcakes were affordable, and even if they weren’t I still would have purchased them. The staff was nice and it was great to see that they all worked as a team. I mean someone was set to receive one special birthday cake. On the left side of the bakery were tables draped in linen and napkins. It looked like the place where they did dessert tastings for private events like weddings.
Back to the cupcakes. I’d just eaten lunch and I usually follow any meal with a dessert. As soon as I got on the highway and stopped at a red light, that chocolate chip cupcake was all mine. It was great! The light was kind of long and someone in a Pick Up Truck next to me was staring in judgment or envy as I devoured this cupcake (shrugs). I saved the other for the next day and it was awesome too.
Great bakery. Try it. The bakery is located in a plaza off Washington Road. It’s pretty hard to get to around the lunch hour, but if it takes you a second, the wait is worth it.

Not a commercial bakery, which is a good thing. It’s good that they have so much wider of an offering than GiGi’s or such. I walked in and was looking for cupcakes for clients. I walked out with cake pops, chocolate covered pretzels, petit fours, cookies, and a few other goodies instead of their cupcakes. I told the clients where they were from and they were giddy. I bought myself a petit four for the drive to my client as well-​AMAZING! So moist and good! Only thing I didn’t like was that they didn’t have stickers saying where it was from-​I didn’t want my clients to think I made them myself. I didn’t have enough of a purchase to use my corporate amex, so they let me order cookies for the next day too so I could use my card-​SO sweet.

This place is busy! Lots of friendly employees. Outstanding cakes and desserts.

SO YUM!!! Try the cupcakes and petit fours!!!
