Birthday Cakes Guaranteed to Make a Kid’s Wish Come True
It brings a wave of joy to watch your child’s face light up when they see their cake, doesn’t it?
While I enjoy baking, I usually leave the job of a cake up to the professionals for birthday parties, rather than have a Pinterest fail.
If you’re like me, you’re in luck. We have compiled a list of nearly 20 birthday cake bakeries in Kalamazoo that offer specialty cakes, cupcakes and other desserts for that special occasion.
This list highlights both locally owned bakeries for customized creations, as well as grocery stores for grab-and-go convenience.
Many bakeries can meet dietary needs including gluten-free, vegan or nut free. Be sure to call ahead to confirm availability.
