We tried the pumpkin spice puffs, passion fruit puffs and croissants and I highly recommend all especially the passion fruit puff. Definitely be back in our next trip. More

The cake I ordered turned out very beautiful. I ordered and paid online however when I went in to pick it up I was required to pay more. I was slightly bothered because I wasn't aware of the extra fee in advance. I was quite disappointed that they did not have edible glitter. The cake did taste very good. More

I went to Dessert First on Bay for the first time yesterday and was blown away. This is a lovely little neighbourhood bakery! We tried two little cake cubes—the tiramisu and vanilla cake and both were sublime. I will have to fight not to make visiting Dessert First a weekly treat. More

Dessert first recently made my wedding cake which was everything I wanted and more. It was absolutely delicious too! I can’t thank this team enough for their attention to detail I appreciate you so much and will definitely be recommending them to everyone in the Ottawa area …

Julia makes the most delicious cakes! I have ordered custom cakes and cupcakes from her before she open shop! Her work is super impressive and tasty! Went to check out her new bakery and tried the spicy veggie breakfast sammie! Amazing! Highly recommended!

One of the most delicious cake I’ve ever eaten!! I ordered a cake for a 30th birthday, and left a vague set of instructions. The team took that and created a masterpiece that was both visually stunning and equally delicious. I can’t express

Thanks to Julia, this dog Mom pulled off the cutest 1st birthday party for my pup! The cake was adored by so many including my pup! He loved it and was taking HUGE bites! Thank you for working so quickly!
