My god the Butter Cake . Eat it while you walk around and they will microwave it slightly for you. The flavor is beyond good.

Don't forget to try the shop's specialty Monkey Bar which tops a pecan and brown sugar crust with dried coconut , banana slices , chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk . Read more

Outrageous Food TV show visited just to sample the larger-than-life Pumpple Cake , a pumpkin pie and an apple pie baked into a chocolate-and vanilla layer cake with a thick coating of buttercream .

Cupcake Crusaders

Their frostings are buttery and flavors subtle, but great. We enjoyed all the cupcakes we tried including Espresso , Apple Cinnamon , Maple , and Chocolate .

Flying Monkey has become Kembrel's go-to spot for yummy cupcakes ! They serve them at least once a month during Trunk Shows and they are always gone by the end of the night!

Pumpkin whoopie pie is a perfect fall treat. Their peanut butter is delicious, too!

GourmetLive

The very recent and enormously popluar Pumpple Cake places layers of apple and pumpkin pie between levels of chocolate and vanilla cake and coats it all with buttercream frosting .

Eric Breese

Great baked goods , and they're quite excited about their iced coffee . You should be, too.

Allison Kasic

The butter cake is simple but decadent.

Rachel Shifman

Best whoopie pie ever! And the staff are very diligent about potential food alergies.

C Love Lee

The butter cake is AMAZING!

Leanne Alyssa

The pumpple cake is good but a little overrated. The cookie dough tuxedo cake is awesome!

Visit Philly

Red Velvet Whoopie pies , Elvis Cake and Mandarin Grapefruit Marmalade are just a few of Baker E’s specialties.

Jason Lee

Don't let them upsell you in the blueberry pie/vanilla cake & cherry pie/chocolate cake mash up. Stick with the whoopie pies .
