Wonderful Bakery!!

Housewife and the new owners are absolutely wonderful and so so kind. My family has gone to Housewife since before I was born and will continue to go. They made my wedding cake on short notice for my small ceremony due to COVID-19 and it was the BEST cannoli filling and almond cake I have ever had. I can't wait to have it again at the big ceremony next year. Their empanadas are an AMAZING addition to the menu and the best in Tampa, along with their stuffed potatoes and the addition of delicious Argentinian desserts. I love that the menu has expanded to include so much variety!!

This bakery was amazing! Their prices are very reasonable and the cake was beautiful! Everyone loved the cake so much that we had a whole tier left over and it was gone the very next day! Couldn't be happier with the great service they provided!

We were married at Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa FL and wanted a themed wedding cake. The results were PERFECT! The taste and quality were great! We even had a layer made in zebra print! The bakery created the topper as well: An Elephant Bride & Groom made out of icing! It was ADORABLE!!

Provided the most beautiful cake top and cupcakes for a cupcake tower. They were delicious and reasonably priced. The cake decorator was wonderful and very accommodating.

Growing up in Tampa, I have always known about housewife bake shop. I had almost already made up my mind to choose them even before a tasting! However, we did look at them and a couple other places before I made up my mind. After some searching around, I thought housewife had the best value for the delicious cake, cake design, and professionalism. We worked with Tina, who is the decorator. She takes your ideas for how you would like your cake to look and draws out a template right there on the spot! She was able to give me tips on what would work and what would look nice together. It was really fun getting to design my own cake! I chose their buttercream icing, bovarian cream filling, and an almond cream cake that they made just for me [it is not one of their standard flavors]. It was delicious! We received so many compliments about how beautiful and tasty the cake was! I'm not sure if the top piece that you are supposed to save will last until our first anniversary because I want to eat it now! haha!
