"Definitely the best cakes in Ithaca! Everything is so tasty with the Carrot cake and the Cheesecakes (any topping) as the highlights, in my mind. All the cakes are available as slices or as a whole cake and there are colorful cupcakes too. The store itself is modest, but I like that - it means they let their tasty treats do the talking rather than a flashy interior fit out. Service is warm and friendly too."

"Rashida Sawyer Bakery you did not disappoint! Not only was the chocolate swirl cheesecake amazing, the customer service was exceptional! Can't wait to try the cherry cheesecake and fruit tart we snagged for the trip back to Iowa! I have to agree with the reviews and word on the street. Best cheesecake I've ever had! Great way to end our time in New York. Thank you! We will definitely be ordering to have more shipped. 😋"

"My family was visiting the Finger Lakes for a family vacation and happened to be celebrating three birthdays that week. We ordered three cakes from Rashida Sawyer Bakery and they were all home runs. - first we had the cheesecake. Since it was for an 80 year old, I didn’t get the walnut crust. But everyone agreed it was one of the best cheesecakes we had ever had. - two days later we ordered a 9” two layer strawberry cake. Excellent! But what really was the talk of the dinner table was the dinner rolls. They look like biscuits but tasted like excellent dinner rolls. Everyone was wanting to toast the leftover rolls the next day for breakfast! - finally was had a 6” Black Forest cake two days after that. Again, an outstanding cake! Trust the rating for this bakery … it’s well deserved! I ordered all three cakes at once and although it was for three different days, the bakery managed this well and professionally!"

"Truly something for everyone. My son is allergic to milk and even here in Ithaca it can be hard to find a good dessert. They have dairy free cupcakes here and they’re absolutely delicious and more than one variety offered. Sorry no pictures of the cupcakes, we ate them too fast!"

"Great baked good here! I highly reccomend the fruit tarts and carrot cake! Some of the best I've ever had!! We order here often for events and get nothing but complements."
