The Best Place to Get a Birthday Cake in Southeast Minnesota

We were talking about the best place to get a birthday cake yesterday morning, and Quick Country 96.5 listeners definitely sounded off on where the best cake bakery is.

There aren't too many occasions in my life where I have to have a cake made, but this weekend, I do. Here's the background: My wife's birthday is in October. Both her sisters have October birthdays, too. So we're getting together to celebrate this weekend.

But I need to get a cake for the big birthday get-together. And, as I said, I don't often order a cake-- in fact, the last cake I think I ordered was the one we ordered for our wedding reception nearly five years ago! So I asked our ever-resourceful Quick Country listeners where they go when they need a cake.

So here are some of the top responses we received yesterday:

+ Hy-Vee Barlow Plaza - featuring the best cake decorator in an 8-state area, the caller said!

+ Hy-Vee Crossroads/South - Quick Country listener Danielle said, "I've ordered cakes over the phone not knowing what the design looks like and they came out perfect!"

+ Bread and Bagel - We received several votes for this bakery in Winona.

+ Daube's in Rochester  - We also received several votes for Daube's Bakery too.

+ Otto's Bakery in Byron

+ Sam's Club in Rochester

Thanks for all you suggestions-- is there a place you know of that isn't listed here?  I'll let you know how our cake turned out and where we got it on Monday!
