The rumors about Billy's bakery spawning from the disgruntled creator of Magnolia Bakery who has since had a sex change is a little more tantalizing than their baked goods, but Billy's Ice box cake is still pretty great.
Food: Billy's bakery serves classic cakes, cupcakes, and pies with slightly modern presentations. I tried the Icebox cake and the Banana cake. The Icebox cake was soft and moist with layers of deliciously subtle chocolate cookie and vanilla creaminess. The banana cake was a little dry with more baking powder than banana flavor and a lackluster cream cheese frosting.
Atmosphere: A straight-friendly gaykery evoking the charming nostalgia of the year 2000
