Cakes by Bakin’ Bishop
Situated on Wears Valley Road, Cakes by Bakin’ Bishop is a little off the beaten path, but it is definitely worth a visit! Owned and operated by Shannon Bishop (aka the Bakin’ Bishop) this wonderful bakery is considered a hidden gem in the Smokies. This shop has built a cult following for its cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, brownies, and whoopie cushions. Visitors to Bakin’ Bishop will have the chance to design their own cupcake by mixing and matching various cake and icing flavors.
Mad Dog’s Creamery & Donuts
If you can’t decide what type of dessert you’re craving, a trip to Mad Dog’s Creamery & Donuts is the ideal place to go!

Mad Dog’s even has special donut-shaped dog treats, so your four-legged friend can join in the fun.
The Sweet Shoppe of the South
The Sweet Shoppe of the South never disappoints!
