We love making people happy with our baked goods. One way we're doing this is with our wedding cakes. Our Bread Art wedding cake artists create custom designs and design a cake to fit your wedding theme. After RSVP's are back, 10 days before the wedding, finalize cake size and/or need for extra sheet cake.
At Bread Art Bakery, we love using our fresh bakery items in our own breakfast, lunch and dinner cooking and also whenever we make a special treat for a get together with friends. So, when we get asked by our customers how we use our items, we could carry on for hours about this recipe or another and various tips and tricks for using our products outside of your standard bread and butter situation.
Bread Art is located in the scenic St. Croix Valley, a few blocks from the St. Croix River. We are just minutes from downtown Stillwater on Highway 95, between Highways 36 and 94. We are in a small, brick, strip mall on the main street of Bayport, and next to Bayport Liquor. Just south of Bayport's only gas station, Holiday, we're also right across the street from Not Justa Cafe and Woody's Bar and Grill.

This bakery did an amazing job on our wedding cake!! We did sheet cakes from our venue for most of our guests, but we wanted a small cake to cut for the head table, preferably one without eggs since my husband is allergic. Heather was so helpful from the very start! She helped me choose what size cake would work best for my head table, as well as ordered flowers herself to put on it since my florist wasn’t able to. We chose a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and white buttercream. The cake was absolutely DELICIOUS and my husband and I are already talking about getting another one for our

Horrible customer service! Go elsewhere. Trust me. They did a absolutely awful job on a bridal shower used a paper picture instead of a edible transfer!! Looked rotten! Wouldn’t have even taken it but didn’t have time to get anything else since they ran late finishing. Go to Hudson Cakery it’s just across the river. You’ll be much much happier!

About 10 years ago there was kolache factory in Brooklyn Center. Ever since they closed, we have been on the lookout for a place that makes Kolache's. We did recently see a report on the news about a bakery in Montgomery, MN and that place is on the list. But for now, we have a bakery that is only about a 10 minute drive. This could be dangerous.
Bayport is already home to a couple really good restaurants in Wilder Scratch Kitchen and Bayport BBQ which DDD has visited.
We arrived shortly after 8am and they were already busy. I have to say Bread Art was a little bigger place than we anticipated

I have stopped in here from time to time for a treat or nice loaf of specialty bread for a meal I was planning. They seem to make very dense and hearty bread products that lean towards the healthy side of breads. You can also find their products at a lot of the little specialty grocery stores like fresh and natural in Hudson. This is not the place to go if you like fluffy glazed sugar loaded fried things.

I have not really been much of a pastry fan, but after races, I get some unique cravings! I had been told to stop in after a race I had in Bayport and I feel like it changed my perspective on pastrys.
I stopped in to this understated bakery and was welcomed by 2 delightful girls. They made recommendations on popular items (cinnamon and caramel roll, kolachys). I ended up getting a variety of the Kolachys and a caramel roll and a morning bun. I also ended up grabbing a bag of dog treats as well and a iced coffee.
The morning bun was amazing! The caramel roll was perfection! I just wish it was

After attending a wedding in January which featured Bread Art's AMAZING cupcakes (several flavors!!!), I knew I had to use them for my son's birthday party last week.
I usually take the easy route and order my cake from the large-warehouse stores, and they are okay--they do the job. But this time, I ordered from Bread Art, and I was blown away!
First of all, for the quality and the service, I was expecting a higher price... so when she told me how much it was, I was floored (it was comparably priced to what I had paid in the past). BUT THE FLAVOR and the TEXTURE (and the service) were

My brother and I came here after an afternoon of skating in the park. Nothing sounded better than a warm cup of apple cider at that moment. Unfortunately, the menu should have read "apple FLAVORED cider." It was undrinkable. I threw it away after one sip of the drink whose flavor resembled a melted jolly rancher.
I also had a raspberry bear claw that looked truly beautiful. It ended up being dry and completely lacking raspberry flavor. Definitely a disappointment. Between that and the mediocre service, I won't be going back any time soon.

Bread Art bakes hands-down my favorite cake in town. We discovered them almost four years ago when we chose them to bake our wedding cake. After taste-testing all around town, nothing compared to their almond buttercream frosting. We've since ordered several more custom cakes and cupcake orders from them because or entire family loved our wedding cake so much.
They are willing to go the extra mile and customize orders for their customers, their prices are very reasonable, and their products are outstanding. As a bonus, a trip to Bread Art means a lovely drive out to beautiful Bayport as

I got a cupcake here and it was delicious. They had a fairly decent selection of cupcakes (both filled and unfilled- yay!) I love filled cupcakes. They also had a variety of breads and other bakery items.
The lady working wasn't wearing gloves or anything when she took my cupcake out and bagged it, which was kinda gross.
Also they didn't have one of those cute little plastic containers that places usually put cupcakes in so they don't get smashed or anything. Just in a bag.
It was delicious anyways. Raspberry lemonade. It was beautiful and delicious.

On my way in to Stillwater, I spot a building with the sign liquor store and next to it Bread Art. After my double take I make a note to stop in, just to see if it really existed. When I get there there's more inside than you imagine. They pretty much have everything. Molly took great care of me. After she sliced some ww bread, I start looking in the glass displays. After I'll take that, that, and that, which ended up being a carrot cake bar, cream cheese kolachy, and a mini eclair, I reach the register and next to it are more baked items. Mostly the cupcakes and coffee cakes. She asked
