This beats other bakeries in the area because they ship their creations anywhere in the country. You can order up to a month in advance (helpful for me in February, when practically everyone I know has a birthday, and I can place multiple orders in one trip). They sell homemade, hand-decorated cookies and cakes in many varieties, all of which are excellent (especially the carrot which, unlike others, does not contain raisins). Birthday cakes come with a bag of confetti and noise makers, with the option of adding plastic cups, silverware, and plates for some extra $. They are lavishly--often too much so--decorated and personalized with the message of your choice.
Creative Cakery is a no-brainer when I want to mail a cake to friends and relatives out of the area, but I prefer Larson's Bakery, just down the street, for sweets that I'll consume.
