Nadines Bakery

Just recently ordered my wedding cake with Nadines, along with some cocktail hour goodies, and I couldn't have been more impressed! The cake was so flawless, some people even thought it was fake!!!! The cake itself was so moist and fluffy, and the filling was delicious. The cheesecake bites were perfect. We didn't even have anything left! Delivery was definitely worth it, and working with them was a breeze.

Now listen here, I haven't met many Nadine's in my life that I like. Usually Nadine is the one who rats on you for stealing company toilet paper. In high school, Nadine was the one in the hallway who walked REALLY REALLY slow and somehow you couldn't get around her to make it to class on time. Nadine always flatuates and is quick to blame it on others. Not a big fan of Nadines in general. But THIS Nadine changed my mind right quick. I picked the worst week to give up sugar, because boy-o-boy walking in here was like being a dog walking into a fire hydrant store! Not saying I would pee on everything, just saying it was super exciting. They got everything! Pastries, cookies, bridal cakes, pastries, bridal cakes, cookies and pies and cakes. The smell was making me salivate as I was watching those amazing pastry elves hustle and bustle back there. I'm was perusing the selection of goods while waltzing back on forth on the checker tiled floor just trying to decide which pastry was gonna be my gateway drug back to fattyland after my diet was over. One of the delightful staff was finally open for query and I gave my real reason for being there. My friend's birthday is coming up and I like to be that one friend in the group who overdoes the gifts and expressions of joy to make all of the other friends feel poor and cheap and boring. It's one of the only highs I have left in this life. So my friend is REALLY into wrestling. Like annoyingly so. He has a tattoo of Macho Man Randy Savage on his butt so everytime he drops trough he goes "OH YEAHHHH". It was funny for the first two times but then became worrisome when we heard him in the bathroom. Anyway, I told the employee my idea of wanting one of those giant cakes but decorated like a wrestling ring on the top with poles and ropes made of twizzlers and maybe around the sides of the cake have a bunch of WWE fans cheering as decoration. Not so crazy. But then the big ask was explaining how I wanted the cake to be hollowed out so it could be opened from the inside like a hatch. I think we've all seen those old movies or cartoons where someone pops out of a cake and it REALLY chaps my hide that i've gone all these years without seeing something like that in real life. Like how have I not seen someone pop out of a cake ONCE? I wanted to change that. They said that was more of a novelty thing and they would have to ask management depending on the budget I was working with. I lied and said "money is not an issue". It's an issue. A BIG issue. But I figured with WW3 coming up, i'd just max out all my credit cards and live life, ya know? They took down my number and then I had to up the ante a little bit since I had real no knowledge of where to get someone to pop out of the cake. I asked them "hey, do you know of any business that might contract out a midget to pop out of this cake and start running around trying to wrestle everyone?" She corrected me and said "little person" and I felt ashamed. She said it was probably best to try Craigslist or something and I said "well, if you know of any little persons who wouldn't mind dressing like a luchadore, sitting down in a giant cake for an hour with a water bottle only to pop out and yell spanish curse words before jumping out and doing dives, corkscrews, and moonsaults and throwing cake at all my friends for 3 hours, tell em to call that number!" She gave me a sort of weird smile and I awkwardly walked back to my truck. So now i'm here writing this review AND putting out a craigslist ad for some little fella to make a quick 50 bucks. You'll see me again, Nadine. I can't wait for your call. Great staff, great smells and great dream-makers. 5 stars.

Nadines Bakery’s staff was amazing! My first time calling to place my order, staff was pleasant, and professional . Staff helped me with ideas for my daughter’s cake. No other companies in Tucson, Az would put eatable images on the cake, that wasn’t their design. Staff asked detail questions on frosting, helped with placement of image. Responded with in the day on all email’s. My daughter loved every detail of her cake! Staff gave detailed instructions how to transport the cake. We will be using your bakery in the future . Extremely happy customer!

Best bakery in Tucson. They have so many incredible treats, you'll need to come back many times to try them all. My favorites are the almond tarts, the bread pudding (only available every other Friday), the chocolate zucchini loaf, the smiley face emoji cookies, and the poppyseed hamentashen (only available around Purim). Other great choices include apple crumble pie, challah, ruggulah, macaroons, fudge brownies, seeded rye bread...the list goes on. Very reasonable prices too. Tucson would be noticeably worse off if Nadine's weren't here!
