Bakes By The Lake - Orillia

It was delicious but not a lot of selection of non-vegan, gluten inclusive food.....

Someone recommended this bakery in the Ontario Celiac group on Facebook, we were visiting the area from Oakville and it was 100% worth the detour to stop by.The soft pretzel is Amazing! Also picked up some delicious donuts and bagels! The owner is a super sweet and friendly woman! If you are looking for amazing gluten free baked goods, this is the place!

I have been lucky enough to share a building with Bakes for a few months. On days that they are baking everyone in my space is drooling over the smells coming from the bakery- especially pizza day! I am not exclusively dairy- free or gluten free and I love their baked goods. Anything with lemon... delicious, creative donuts, beautiful cakes and cupcakes, anything oreo gets devoured in our house. I love getting a bagel sandwich for lunch. Their dedication and passion and positive attitude is contagious. You should check them out!

Okay... even if you are NOT gluten free etc.... go and get your num num on! This place is fantastic!!!!!!!!!! The cupcakes last week I had a strawberry, and a lemon cupcake... I meant for one to be eaten in a couple of days but I couldn't help myself! GONE! lol .... the texture of the cake is soft, smooth and moist. The smell and flavour of the cakes were delicate but still present without leaving an aftertaste. The icing is decadent, silky and thick but not overwhelming and there was a lot of it and for me that was a b/c I LOVE icing. The lemon cupcake is my absolute favourite (I LOVE LEMON) and I have to control myself not to go back and get and eat a dozen more. Their pizza buns are savory and soft. The bun feels heavy in your hands but is not dense, gritty or crumbly like some gluten free buns are. It wasn't soggy either! And to put a cherry on top the staff are welcoming and kind and so are the café goers. GO and show this little bakery your support because you will not be disappointed. I wish I had pictures to show you all but I ate my treats too fast.
