Best dessert shop in Appleton, Wisconsin (WI) 2025

I drive 8 hours from South Dakota to celebrate my daughter's birthday with relatives in WI and it's always worth the extra effort to get her cake from Manderfields. Everyone knows it's delicious (including my friends in SD that beg for the leftovers by name!) but I also have to say how impressed I am with their decorators. My daughter is convinced someone on the staff must love The Lord of the Rings as much as she does as the embellishments they added to the map image we provided was dead on. This year I had to switch my Tennessee trip and Wisconsin trip last minute, and sheepishly called Manderfields up to see if I could get a custom birthday cake for the next day. They kindly accommodated me and the Jumanji cake turned out just as fantastic as if I had given them a reasonable amount of time! ~Nichole
