Sweet Inspiration has the most beautiful baked goods in town. They are stunning to look at and to imagine what lies within the picture perfect exteriors of the huge assortment of cakes the bakery produces.

Neither location offers much in the way of personality, but the visuals are better than Disneyland on good acid. It's kinda pricey, and I sometimes feel as if I'm being judged by young, insipid designer wannabes. But, nonetheless, their goods are good, maybe great goods, and this bumpkin is going to go ahead and splurge for a $6.50 slice of the cover-page Gourmet ragazine still-life Black Forest cake. It's so rich and sensuous I feel guilty, and for another $3.00 I'm gonna add a generous scoop of gelato vanilla bean ice cream, dial 911, and wait for the white light journey people to haul me away.

Lots of chocolate goodies to tempt you in the door

Sweet Inspiration makes cookies, pies, tarts, and dozens of cakes. They also offer good coffee, some fine teas, soft drinks, comfortable surroundings, and a chilly attitude although it's worth any discomfort for the joy of experiencing confectionery fabulosity. This is the place to go hog wild for the visual splendor of the breath stopping dessert for your best dinner parties. Go for it!
