The Dessert Fork

Pauline is wonderful! We ordered a very specific, detailed cake and Pauline nailed it! The cake looked identical to the photo we showed her, but even better! Highly recommend!

Yoooooo this cake came out better than I could have dreamed! It was the perfect centerpiece to my FairyCore tea party birthday luncheon. And it was delicious to boot! Had everyone asking, “That’s a CAKE?!” I cried cutting into it. The 6” round was enough for 10 people and we still brought leftovers home.

Wonderful desserts! We tried the lemon bar, cheesecake, and cookie butter bar. All were so delicious and sweet! The employees were kind and patient and explained each that we asked about very well. Will definitely be back next time we need a cake or just want some dessert. Thank you! 😊

Popped over to The Dessert Fork while I was in the neighborhood and wanted a little treat. It was an enjoyable experience! Located in a small shopping mall towards the end of Madison near Earth and Stone, this little bake shop has cute decorations and a warm, inviting feel. From their menu online, it looks like they mostly do cakes and cupcakes for special occasions, but they also have a variety of bars and brownies if you just want a little one-off treat. The employee working when I visited on Friday was very pleasant. She could tell it was my first time visiting and she politely and warmly recommended that I try a cheesecake bar after I explained I just wanted a sweet snack. She explained they make their caramel sauce and all their products in house. I'm always happy to listen to what employees say is good -- they've usually tried it all -- and she wasn't wrong! My cheesecake bar was dense without being heavy -- I love thick, creamy cheesecake. My family calls airy, light cheesecake "wind poofer" cheesecake and it's a big no-no. Luckily for me, this fit the bill of my preferred style. Very rich and gooey. The graham cracker crust didn't get lost at all and added a little bit of crunch and a nice sweetness. The caramel sauce was good, too, and very decadent. Personally, I feel it may have made the cheesecake just a tiny bit too sweet, but that's my only critique. I would still enjoy this treat again, and would happily try their other offerings. Service was A+ and the shop was cute. They're worth a try!

We walked in to find a small cake for our 2 year old's birthday. The staff was friendly and helpful. We got a small round vanilla cake and a slice of strawberry cake. Both were DELICIOUS. They were light and flavorful. I have been trying to find a new favorite bakery since moving up here. I found it.
