About


Since 1989, Johnnie Gabriel has been in the business of baking. It could be said that Johnnie’s talent for cooking and baking is genetic, as she learned at young age from her paternal grandmother that the only way to bake a cake was to bake it from "scratch" with the best available ingredients. But Johnnie’s baking career did not begin as a conscious choice.

She began baking on nights and weekends to supplement the family's income during the tough times, a recession and college tuition bills can bring. Johnnie had watched her mother and grandmother bake desserts and cook meals for their family, and reasoned that she too could make enough cakes to make a difference.

In 1996, seven years after the baking venture began, Johnnie made the decision to leave her day job and open “Gabriel’s Desserts”. She opened the doors with 2 bakers and Johnnie made 3. Growth each year led Gabriel's to hire professionally trained pastry cooks, cake decorators, bakers, a pastry chef and customer service personnel to meet demands for a made-to-order quality ingredient, freshly baked from scratch, homemade cake just like your grandmother used to have time to bake.

Since 2003, Gabriels has tripled their original Marietta space, opened a full service restaurant in the beautiful and historic Old Mill in downtown Acworth, Gabriel's at the Old Mill, as well as Gabriel's Kiosk at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Concourse B. With an expanded list of desserts and savory food, they are open in Marietta serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in Acworth for lunch and dinner six days a week and of course, the airport open 7 days a week. Today, a customer can dine in or take home Gabriel's freshly prepared daily all from quality ingredients! It's a family tradition!

Melding an American family tradition of homemade desserts and professionally trained staff has brought forth wedding and special occasion cakes, originally designed for each customer, and desserts for all occasions filling the bake list each week. Holiday bake lists overflow with home style, made from scratch cakes and pies that Johnnie used to bake at home.

Chosen best of Atlanta 7 times by Atlanta magazine, Gabriel's has been called “The Little Shop of Wonders.” Come and visit Gabriel's and you'll feel welcome and appreciated and maybe even a little like family!

From Johnnie and the talented staff at Gabriel’s Desserts, ‘Thank You’ for your continued business and loyalty – you have made Gabriel’s a local favorite!

Delicious!

Gabriel's cakes are the absolute best! We had such a great tasting and worked with them to pick our cakes and desserts and they made it so easy. They really listened to what we wanted and executed perfectly. The quality of these cakes and desserts is just so good!

Great experience!

Barbara was so great, fitting me in for a tasting after having a last minute cancellation. We loved their specialty cakes and couldn’t decide, so we picked 2 flavors and alternated the layers for our 4 tier cake. Multiple people at the reception told us this was “the best cake they had ever had!” Couldn’t have been happier with Gabriel’s! 💕

A Wonderful Whimsical Wedding Cake

We had a really great experience working with the team at Gabriel's and the cake was phenomenal. We pitched a concept for a novelty-style wedding cake that's an homage to our hometown, and they made it a delicious reality! Many compliments Katharina and Barbara for this awesome showstopper - our friends and family said it was the coolest wedding cake ever, and it was definitely a highlight!
