Let me just start by saying, I am not a dessert guy. I rarely leave enough room at the end of the meal, and I’ve never quite enjoyed sweet things as much as savory ones. So, when I tell you that we’ve found the best fucking bakery in America, and the cakes there will melt your mind and make you explode with joy, you can believe that this place must be damned good.

I’m talking about Shyndigz in Richmond, Virginia. Have we become a bit Richmond obsessed recently? Yes. But in our defense, the food there is out of this freaking world good. And the baked goods at Shyndigz might be the absolute best of them all. And for me to say that, given my admitted dessert apathy, is truly saying something.

Of all the restaurants I’d like to see open up locations near us, Shyndigz would be at the top of my list. I can’t fucking wait to go back to Richmond just to try more of their life changing cakes. Until then, I’ll have to content myself with reliving the memory of our first experience there last month. You can relive that experience too by checking out our review of this absolute gem right here!
