    Looking to buy a cake for christmas. Any store suggestions in north Austin? I’ve checked out 85deg and Tous le Jous, as well as what HEB has to offer; so I’d like to look at more options before buying.

      Are you wanting a certain type? HEB has one of the best carrot cakes in town. Their pies are just ok. Whole foods has some solid cakes and tiramisu. Sam’s has great pies and side items - their cinnamon roll cupcakes are next level.

        I just read the list to my wife and I have been instructed to buy some cinnamon roll cupcakes for Christmas. Haha

          Thank you! Unfortunately I already bought a Tiramisu cake from 85deg before I saw your reply. I love me some carrot cake though, so I’ll try HEB’s on the next occasion I have an excuse to buy a cake for. I’ll also check out the rest of your suggestions. Thanks!
