M Bakery & Catering

ok. I thought this place was main street cupcakes, but apparently they have changed owners, so it took me a bit to realize and find them on Unilocal!
I stopped in one morning on my way in to work. I was having a business luncheon with a few people and literally only needed a few cupcakes. no big deal.
very easy. I ordered just plain vanilla cuppies. to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. the fact that I actually shared these with business colleagues is embarrassing. I, too tasted the cupcakes and was extremely disheartened. I could tell as soon as I started to remove the paper that the cake was old/​dry.
I wish that I could say this was not true. The other colleagues told me that their cupcakes were not fresh as well. I should mention that I stopped in the shop early in the morning, right around 10am. These were definitely not freshly baked and tasted definitely like the day before or even possibly a third day old. I am a huge cupcake girl and I love nothing more than eating a soft, moist, FRESH cupcake. The fact that I had brought these to members of the team was slightly embarrassing to say the least.
Although the only thing I did try were the cupcakes, I can not leave a review on other menu items. I will say that the inside of the store was adorable. It would be a great place to drink coffee and meet up, although they are not open much later than 5pm or 6pm.
I hate leaving a bad review, but honesty is my thang. I hope that this was just an off day for the bakery and perhaps they can try harder to provide FRESH treats for their customers in the future!

I finally had a chance to stop in and check this place out and I am glad I did! I was warmly greeted by a young lady who gave off the impression as being genuinely personable. She did her best to explain the offerings and answer what questions I had about the ingredients. From what I understood, some things are made with stuff like fresh fruits and other items are made with things like store bought Pan peanut butter. They do offer a couple gluten free options if you’re one of the 2% who have been diagnosed by a medical professional to have a real problem with gluten.
The case appeared to be well stocked at 5pm when I showed up which made me happy since I then had a bigger variety to choose from, but they close at 6pm and I was told they throw away all of the leftover baked goods. That is such a shameful waste! I would really hope they would reconsider and just donate their leftovers to a local food bank, fire station, or even just walk next door to Sweet Melissa’s (their restaurant) and let the customers there get a free sample of their goods. I think the latter would get even more business for them with people then curious and wanting to stop by the bakery. Oh well.
I decided to go with a couple cake donuts .75¢-$ 1 and an adult pop-​tart $ 1.50. The flavors I chose were PB & chocolate, raspberry, and PB & J. I was told some of the icings are made from a mix of powdered sugar and others are store bought. They also offer other donut flavors like Oreo, triple chocolate, coconut, strawberry with sprinkles, and red velvet. Unfortunately the red velvet does not have cream cheese frosting. The donuts appear to be moist on the outside, but the inside is dense and slightly dry. If they could just tweak their recipe just a little bit to make them more moist then these donuts would be phenomenal! They are the perfect size for a little affordable treat that doesn’t make you hate yourself if you «accidentally» eat two of them.
The adult pop-​tart is slightly bigger than the store bought kind, and has a nice little buttery flake to the crust that helps balance out the sweetness of the fruit preserves inside and the drizzle of icing on the outside. M Bakery also sells slices of zucchini bread, apple dumplings, mini cupcakes, and bear claws. The inside is pretty spacious with plenty of seating and some nice décor. You can park right in front along the street or there is parking in the back. I’d probably check this place out again for some more donuts, I’d just make sure I had a glass of milk to dip them in next time. Would recommend!
