The bakery shop is decorated floor to ceiling with lots of pinks, florals, and neon. The interior is quite the fun delight.

Some of the desserts and baked goods that were available on the day of their ribbon cutting included: cream horns, mini tarts, eclairs, chocolate parfaits, mini lemon raspberry cakes, berry berry mini cakes, cream puffs, chocolate truffles, dulce de leche, tiramisu, zaatar knots, croissants, cinnamon rolls, funfetti cupcakes, Armenian cheese boreg, and more.

In addition to the baked goods and desserts, Spirit Made Cakes also offers smoothies, paninis, salads, coffee and tea. One of their signature paninis is the Middle Eastern Grilled Halloumi Sandwich.
