Best Cake Places in Kirkland

"Don’t let the size of the cakes fool you, these small treats pack a serious punch. (Even a single serving of the thick, warm chocolate is worth sharing!) If chocolate isn’t your thing, opt for the amazing baked goods instead. If you’re not into those either (who are you?!), indulge in the delicious warm libations on offer."

"Molten lava cake has to be one of the most underrated desserts. They’re a common dessert at fine dining locales and on cruises. However, it’s difficult to find them outside of that realm."

"GeorgetownCharlie Dunmire and her team of all-women bakers offer flavors like London Fog (earl gray cake held together by bergamot mascarpone cheese) and the chocolate-rich 9lb Porter in the form of soaring cakes (the vanilla bean custard reaching heights of nine layers of milk–soaked pastry). Dunmire takes special orders and can add a smattering of gold leaf or fresh flowers. These confections require careful prep, so get your order in seven days before pickup."

"Seattle’s favorite airstream cake shop — a staple for years at the Georgetown Trailer Park Mall — moved in to a bigger, more stationary home in the fall of 2018. The shop now operates out of a historic market space on Carleton Avenue and still slings fan favorites like the London Fog and 9LB Porter. It’s currently on winter break, but reopens February 4."

"The London Fog (above) figuratively stands above the other tall rounds at this breathtaking Georgetown bakery. Owner-baker Charlie Dunmire invented the oddly lovely, gray-frosted layer cake after being inspired by looseleaf Earl Grey tea. Her goal: figure out how much of the flavor she could recreate in cake form."

"Yes, that magnificent mash-up exists at Tangletown's Japanese bakery, which serves as a lovely spot for takeout treats after a Green Lake loop. And there's plenty more where that came from, from the generous chocolate cake to the pear franzipane. View this post on Instagram"

"I ordered three different cake slices and each one was so good. I had three servings of coffee in one day to have an e..."

"Chef Sara Eveland has worked in the Seattle food scene for 15 years. She started selling cookies out of Watson’s Counter in Ballard as a way to share something independent of the restaurants she works in. You can also find her cookies at popups like Chachis Pizza, Big Footlongs, and Good Shape Pizza."

"If a bakery is an exercise in eating with your eyes first, then Cubes Baking Company is the kind of workout we can get behind. It’s all too easy to—with the unchecked voracity of a blue, cookie-obsessed puppet—pillage the shelves of this Wallingford bakeshop, a place where the likes of cupcakes and scones take on a boxy silhouette. Indeed the baked goods here are square."

"WallingfordIn a compact brick storefront, baker Kara Burfeind builds fanciful creations out of a range of classic cake flavors like chocolate peanut butter and lemon cream. The SweetSide has a stable of go-to specialty designs, from a spray of tasteful frosting flowers to mermaid or macaron themes. But Burfeind’s happy to put her pastry degree to use on mega-custom cakes shaped like Lego characters or a fondant-wrapped calculator."

"For bakeries the goal, usually, is to be expansive and multitude in your baked goods—sweet and savory; diminutive pastries and impressively tall cakes; styles and shapes of any sort. Yet Nothing Bundt Cakes banks on its eponymous treat (and dad-joke styled pun). At its Mill Creek and Issaquah locations a pastry case is stocked with domed bundt cakes in flavors like red velvet and lemon all piped with cream cheese frosting."

"At an area of 11 acres, the Centennial Park, previously known as the Elliott Bay Park is one of Seattle’s most famous waterfront parks. It is often confused with Myrtle Edwards Park since both of them are connected. The main difference is that Centennial Park is operated by Seattle port whereas Seattle City manages myrtle."

"Myrtle Edwards is a city park on the Elliot Bay waterfront, less than a half-mile southwest of the Space Needle and Seattle Center. A standard route to access this beautiful waterfront space is through the Olympic Sculpture Garden. Myrtle Edwards winds next to the shoreline with a 1.25-mile paved bike trail."

"The Volunteer Park Conservatory is a botanical garden with a multi-room display of cacti, tropical plants, orchids, and other species. Its mission is to advocate and encourage preservation, public participation, and education with respect to the Volunteer Park Conservatory and its plant collection. Friends of the Conservatory (FOC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit, plays an integral part in stewarding visitors, providing outreach and education though docent-led tours, plant sales, special events, and interpretative classes for adults and school children, as well as an "Urban Safari" summer camp for grade school youth."

"Modeled after the “Crystal Palace” of London, the Volunteer Park Conservatory is a stunning example of man-made architecture. Glass walls are fitted into steel and iron frames. Victorian-style decorations give an ornate flair to everything from the windows and trellises to the doorknobs and flowerpots."

"If you’re looking for some fairytale vibes, this is the place for you. Visit from May to August, and experience the most fragrant garden filled with beautiful blooms."

"Olympic Sculpture Park is an award-winning free public sculpture park owned and operated as part of the Seattle Art Museum, originally opened to the public in 2007. The park spans nine acres along the city's downtown seawall beachfront at Myrtle Edwards Park and was designed by Weiss/Manfredi Architects on the site of a former industrial area. As one of downtown Seattle's only urban green spaces, the park is open to the public daily between dawn and dusk, with free tours available at select times throughout the year."

"Olympic Sculpture Park, an ingenuous feat of urban planning, is an official offshoot of the Seattle Art Museum and bears the same strong eye toward design and curation. There are more than 20 sculptures to stop at and admire in this green space that sprawls out over reclaimed urban decay. You can also enjoy them in passing while traversing the park's winding trails."

"What makes this children’s museum in Bellevue stand out is its emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math). All of the exhibits are geared toward kids age 10 and under, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself playing alongside your kids. Exhibits include the Atrium Climber, Bellevue Mercantile, Train Table in Cityscape, Connections Gallery, Big Rig on the Go, Sticks and Stones, Story Tree, Tot Orchard and Water Gallery."

"The Seattle Art Museum is a more traditional art museum that features an extensive collection of works including, oil paintings, photography, watercolor, sculpture to name a few. While some of it may be a little too “high brow” from the younger set, there's plenty for kids to enjoy and interact with. Be sure to check out the Chase Open Studio, where you'll find everything you need to create your own piece of art inspired by major themes in SAM's current special exhibition, and the Ann P. Wyckoff Education Resource Center, which has been considered a "launchpad to explore works of art and spark creative learning"."

"The Seattle Art Museum is Seattle's premiere public art museum, showcasing more than 25,000 significant classic and modern artworks throughout three museum facilities in the city's downtown region. The museum operates its main downtown Seattle campus, along with Capitol Hill's Seattle Asian Art Museum and the open-air Olympic Sculpture Park on the city's Puget Sound waterfront. Notable collections include works by Italian painters such as Camille Pissarro and Luca Giordano, along with 20th-century American works by Mark Tobey and Jacob Lawrence and a substantial collection of Aboriginal Australian works."

"The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is actually a trio of museums that are scattered around the city. They all have different exhibits and activities, so depending on where you’re traveling and what you’re interested in seeing, you can hit up any of the three locations. The collections include everything from African paintings to Asian woodblocks and silkscreens."
