"The Elvis cake was yummy!!!    We shared with everyone and it of course was all eaten..."

 - Robin 

 

"I ate your eclair in my car on my way to work and loved every bit of it!! That cream is .. "oh so delicious"! Now I just had to get on-line and tell you that my co-workers LOVED...LOVED ... LOVED your pastries!!!  They loved it so much that they even wrote "more please!" on the box and brought it to me and said, they want this every Friday morning!.. "

 - Celeste

 

"FORGET STARBUCKS!! I'm coming to The Laughing Elephant! And I'm going to bring my coffee mug so that I can hang it on your wall waiting for me every time I come in and as Julia Roberts said in Pretty Women, "cop a squat & veggie-tate" in your TV room w/ my lap-top while the kids watch cartoon network..."

 - Celeste (again) - she really loves us

 

"After sinking my teeth into what is quite possibly the best doughnut I have ever tasted in my life, I’m not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing that I can walk from my office to your new bakery.

In all seriousness though, it truly was the tastiest thing I have had in a long time and I am very excited to have you as neighbors! Best of luck to you and I look forward to visiting regularly..."

- Nicole

"I loved the article.   And your great sense of humor alone is enough to make me want to come and indulge in a chocolate cupcake.  Good Luck !!!!.."

 - Maronica

 

"Thank goodness for a real bakery in Cumming!..."

 - Shirley

 

"I am so excited to have a natural southerner opening up a new business in Cumming.  I am in awe of someone stepping out like what you are doing best of luck and will be in soon..."

 - Linda

 

"Came in Thursday and loved the cinnamon rebels and white chocolate donuts.  Will definitely see me again..."
 - Randy

"Well, I suppose it’s no surprise to hear that your cup cakes were (and still are) quite the hit!!!   If only you could have seen the looks on people’s faces as they sunk their teeth into each delicious bite!!!  My own husband exclaimed that was “one heck of a cup cake” after he enjoyed an Elvis cake!

We will most certainly be back for more, and so will our customers!"

 - Patty

"I strongly suggest sending one of those chocolate brick thingys to Ohio!"
 - Melissa in Ohio

"I work for ATB, here in Cumming,  and have been eating on your wonderful cup cakes since Monday!!!!! (Yummmmmm….10 lbs. + ) They are fabulous and the names for them are very catchy. The taste is exceptional and I will be buying more for birthdays to come in my family.

Thanks so much. Keep up the goooooooodddddd cooking."

 - Denise

"Hey guys, Dennis here who picked up the Chocolate cake on Saturday at 2pm..It was a birthday cake for my wife WHO LOVED IT!  Thanks again and all of the family raved over it, great job!!!

    One more thing please if you don't mind..I know you mentioned the first day to email you about anything..Is there any way you guys can change the coffee to a tastier blend?.. That is my only "issue" with an otherwise perfect place!  Thanks again and welcome..."

 - Dennis  (Thanks Dennis - blame Dan for the coffee, he likes it bitter and strong like Minnesota winters so I set him straight and the coffee is a little more tolerable now...)

 

"Haven't yet visited -- would like to bring a treat for folks in my office -- but your hours won't permit me to pick up the night before and bring in the next morning (I commute to Atlanta). 
Just thought you'd appreciate feedback..."
 - Cynthia (We did indeed accommodate Cynthia by unlocking at 5:30am and loading her up with doughnuts. If you have a special need or time just give us a call and we will work something out!) Here is the follow up from Cynthia afterwards...

“Doughnuts were delicious and much enjoyed by one and all.  (No disasters
                                    en route either!)”

 

"Hey Guys!  I was in on Wed. and bought one of your Red Velvet Pound Cakes for my husband's birthday.  I just wanted you to know that EVERYONE loved it, kids and all.  I'm sure you predicted that, right!  The only comment that any one had was that they would have loved to have a bite of that WONDERFUL cream cheese frosting with every bite of cake.  If that is the only criticism than I think you are doing something right!  We will be back for more!  YUM-O!.."

 - Beverly (Thanks Beverly - we agree, be looking for more Cream Cheese frosting...)

 

"We already love you guys! Thanks for letting us crash the place this afternoon while you were trying to lock up:) we LOVED it!!"

 - Linda

 

"Hi Kathleen & Daniel-my husband & I were in your bakery Saturday.  We bought a buttermilk pie, slice of coconut pie & a piece of Carolina cake.  I bought the pie for a party we went to last night-the pie was a big hit-it was great!!  My husband loved the slice of coconut pie, too.  But the Carolina cake was absolutely the very best-I love chocolate, so the taste of it in the cake was great!!  And I love the outside being crunchy!!  I love to cook, too and you are a very good cook!! 

Thank you for opening your bakery!  We have family in Cumming and will spread the word about you!!

Good Luck and God Bless your store!!"

-         Vicky

"I just wanted to send you a quick email to let you know your cinnamon rebels are out of this world.  I stopped by for the first time this morning with my son before he went to school and I got 4 of your cinnamon rebels to go.  I just had part of one and I don't think I have ever had anything so yummy.  I will be back often...I can't wait to try more of your goodies.  Have a wonderful
day! :-)  "
 - Rebecca

"My Mother and I purchased a mini chocolate cake and a mini coconut cake today. We have already tried both of them, and they are delicious! The chocolate tastes exactly like homemade and was my favorite. I will certainly spread the word about your bakery. Love your "coffee mug" idea also.
Good luck with your business."
 - Sandy

"Just wanted to let you know that you have 4 new fans.  Ordered a mini red velvet cake for my husband after his knee surgery last Friday.  While waiting, I fought over the biggest Cinnamon Rebel with another customer - I won! Then not wanting to leave our 2 girls without trying your yummy treats, I bought a mini chocolate cake for them (me too!)  We all agreed it is the best Ch. Cake EVER!! and we have tasted many!  Had 2 BD parties to attend this past weekend and
must have told 20+ people about your bakery!  Told them I should be paid for advertising - couldn't stop talking about how good everything was. Planning on meeting a old friend there this Friday. 
Can't wait to try something new!  Thanks!"
 - Jean Ann (Thanks Jean Ann - word of mouth is the very best advertising and your endorsement is awesome...)

“I just wanted to drop you a line and say that the Strawberry Daiquiri Cake was the BOMB! I ate a small lunch and geared up for a high glucose count. I ate 2 big slices at work. The high 220 sugar level was all worth it!  Keep up the great Baking! I will make it in some morning to get my éclair! “

 - Bonnie

“Oh my God, the cornbread. I was such a skeptic as nobody made skillet cornbread better than my grandma. Well God rest her soul, I think she has been beaten. Hands down the best skillet cornbread …ever! Sign me up each Saturday – I will be there.”

-         Robert

 

GREATEST…CHOCOLATE…CAKE... EVER…Elephant Bakery Rules!

 - Scooter from West Forsyth

"All the way from Tennessee - Your chocolate density cake is the single BEST dessert I have ever eaten. It is every woman's dream come true. I can't wait to see my husband's face when he bites into the Elvis Presley cake!! My grandfather use to have saying when something was VERY good that instantly came to mind after my first bite of this cake, "Don't put that on your head or your tongue will lap your brain out trying to get to it."
- Carol

"I can't wait to try your other cakes! I picked up some mini coconut cakes this morning for a birthday in my office. I was pretty young when Rich's closed its bakery but remember very well how yummy their coconut cake was. You've got it dead on!!! I can't wait to surprise my mom with that cake for her birthday in a few weeks!
Fantastic!!!"
- Alana

"I am really in trouble here. I come in to your bakery about 3 to 4 times a week to get my fix of Death By Vanilla!! I really crave it almost everyday. Your cakes are so yummy! Cumming has needed a bakery like yours for a long time now. Thanks for sharing your delicious cakes and other sweet treats with us."
- Lindsey
