Johnsonville Cakes- Jville

This local bakery has been in business since 2013, and they know a thing or two about baking delicious cakes, cookies, cupcakes and more. Making beautiful cakes is often where art and baking intersect, and it becomes a little unclear whether the maker is a baker, a painter... or both!

And that's exactly where I find myself when looking at Johnsonville Cakes baked creations. That's also what makes them one of the best cottage bakeries in Waco, TX.

We do bee-lieve this may be one of our sweetest cakes yet! Winnie the Pooh is forever a classic ❤️💛 #johnsonvillecakes...
