Perfection Bakery

Went out of business without notifying employees. Good riddance.

I just experienced the worst cupcake of my life here. It was dried out and rubbery with a gummy glue-​like «frosting». I took two bites… the second bite was just to be sure I wasn’t being overly critical. Nope. It was that bad! I can’t say much more for the customer service here either. I’m seriously disappointed.

What happened to this bakery? Did you get a new baker or something? The last few times the quality has gone down hill. The cookies were hard and dry. The cannoli filling tasted like old sour cream, the texture was oily and firm. It was chewy and stale. Was this made last week? The same goes for the other two slices of pastry. The fillings were dried out… both were dry and chewy.
The service isn’t very good either. I don’t think they like serving people or having customers. They don’t acknowledge you, if there is anyone paying attention. The prices are too high for dry, chewy and day old pasty.
Time to look for a new bakery.

I have a lot hate relationship with Perfection. Sometimes they nail their treats, and other times it is just a miss all around.
I have ordered 2 birthday cakes here. First one, a hit; the second one was a total miss. It was such a mess and looked like who ever did the decorating really didn’t care. That was the last cake I ordered from Perfection. I can’t take that risk again when their results are so unpredictable.
Cheesecake here is awesome. Cookies are hit and miss. Sometimes they are really good, other times they are stale. Sometimes they are soft and gooey, other times they are hard and dry.
The staff often takes forever to respond to customers after they walk in the door. Their prices are slightly too high, especially when there is a good chance you are getting a couple day old stale cookies.
But the one thing that is usually always good is their donuts. Donuts here are good and I haven’t had a stale one… yet.

My husband and I used Perfection Bakery for our wedding almost a year ago! Here I am putting in my order for our soon anniversary cake! Patty is amazing! Our cake was above and beyond what we wanted! We went with a three tier cake, 2 layers being pink champagne with a raspberry cream cheese mixed filling and the middle layer was a almond poppyseed cake with a chocolate and cream cheese mixed filling! I’ve never had a better wedding cake! It was on time and super tasty once we finally cut the cake in the evening. Love, love, love!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR WEDDINGS!
We were so excited when we tried the cakes at Perfection Bakery! They are delicious! However, we made a huge mistake when we chose them to make the cookies and cupcakes for our wedding weekend. This is the most incompetent and unorganized company I have ever worked with.
We ordered 150 cookies to be delivered to our venue for the rehearsal dinner. They never came. We called and called and heard absolutely nothing from them. The next morning my fiancé called and they said they were sorry and they just forgot. Wow!
We ordered 300 cupcakes for the wedding the next day. Thank goodness they didn’t forget to deliver this time, however they didn’t frost or decorate 120 of the cupcakes!!!
When we called the next day the manager said the bakers couldn’t read the notes on our order. I should have known they were bad when they hand wrote our order. But even still they should have called to double check. Who on earth would want have plain cupcakes for their wedding!!! We didn’t want muffins!
Perfection Bakery was on our venue’s (Mcmenamins Grand Lodge) preferred vendor list. I hope they are taken off the list until they get new management and a new organizational system.
Thanks for almost ruining our wedding weekend Perfection Bakery.

Apple schnecken is bomb! Go get one.
Its like a baked apple crashed into a baklava. Mmmm
I also got two dozen assorted pastries, turnovers, and donuts for a meeting for $ 27ish. Amazing.
They’re really nice in there too.
And as the manager kindly pointed out to me, if you have a big order you can call ahead.

wow. What is up with the great reviews?

Stopped by this place today when passing by on business.
First off I love the «classic old bakery» look. It’s cool to see the bakers working hard in the back creating tasty treats.
Second, good selection of cookies, doughnuts and pastries. It’s always disappointing when you go to a bakery, doughnut or coffee shop that only has a few options in a big display case, that was not the situation here. It also looks like they have a lot of good specialty and wedding cakes too.
I tried the almond bear claw and apple fritter. I’m a big fan of apple fritters and was not disappointed. The apple fritter was made just right with a slightly chewy exterior and a soft doughnut interior with plenty of tasty apple chunks. The bear claw was also very good. A flakey outside with soft interior. I highly recommend this spot for all the sweet treats you may desire and look forward to trying more soon.

They DONT want your business! I called to place a cupcake order on Thursday at 553pm and would need my cupcakes by Sunday at 5pm and I was told that they needed 72 hours notice so would not be able to process my order – ok so I was all of 53 minutes late of making their 72 hour notice but they still would not accommodate my order, and whats even more funny is they never even asked how many I would need! Wouldn’t the amount make a difference as well?! It’s not like I was trying to cater a huge party! I just wanted to have cupcakes to announce the gender of my baby at my husbands birthday party with a small number of family/​friends! I will NOT be giving them my business again.

This place is fantastic. I had a croissant, a blueberry scone, and a jumbo picture for $ 3.90. The scone and croissant were good, and what I expected from a fresh bakery. The apple fritter was incredible and exceeded my expectation.
Everything else looked great and I hope to make it back for some of the beautiful desserts at some point.
If you are in Hillsboro and want some good baked goods, Perfection Bakery is for you.

3.5 STARS
Perfection Bakery~
Located in a mini-​strip mall next to Hank’s
You’ll find things more of sweet than savory
And you’re a** will say «thanks» (a lot!)
From muffins, cupcakes, donuts and cake
Cookies, fritters and some fresh baked bread
Eating all of this can make your stomach ache!
Getting a carb over-​load: the aftermath feeling, I’d dread
Prices are reasonable and also cheap!
Employees are super helpful and friendly.
Beware some of the homeless can badger you, what a creep!
But don’t worry, they want the food — they envy.
The bakery is located near the MAX (public transportation light rail system)
Parking is easy to find in their own lot
I’m glad these goods (and the state) don’t have tax!
You won’t be sorry for the goods you’ve bought!
I’ve been going to Perfection Bakery here and there
To grab some goods to satisfy my craving
Sometimes you can smell their baking in the air
Check this place out and know why I’ve been raving (about)!

We choose Perfection Bakery for our July 2011 wedding in Gaston, Oregon. We do not live in the area (Dallas, TX) so choose this bakery from reviews and recommendations. I worked with Carrie over the phone and email to design the cake and choose the flavors. I sent her a picture of the cake design and she created it just as I wanted. We didn’t have the opportunity to even taste the cake before the wedding, but it didn’t matter. I have to say, this is by far the most delicious wedding cake I have ever had. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the cake was and that it was very moist. We had a 3 tiered cake and chose the champagne cake with cream cheese/​strawberry filling for the top 2 tiers and the lemon poppy seed with lemon filling for the bottom tier. Yum! There was not a single piece of the cake left over. I’m just sad that we won’t get our anniversary cake since we don’t live in Oregon! Maybe we will make a special trip. Carrie delivered the cake, added flowers left by the florist and it was amazing. I would highly recommend this bakery for weddings or any special event.

Everything here is wonderful! They have the best apple fritters and the other donuts are really, great. I recommend any of their cakes. However the only downfall here are the hours — they’re not open very late! The prices are stupid good, and if you do miss the bakery itself, you can always go over to Hank’s Thriftway and get a very limited amount of their goodies!

I have been going to this bakery for all my cakes and goodies for the last past 16 yrs, they even make a cake for my daughter’s birthday every year that she has had since she was 1 yrs old and that cake came from a bakery in San Pedro, California. There holiday treats are great as presents to friends and neighbors and there apple fritters are to die for… The best I have found in this area. They are a family run bakery and I had the pleasure to me the owners this last past holiday season in Hanks giving aways free pieces of red velvet cake to shopper. They are a lovely couple, who has a love of community and of course baking. My mother in law moved to Indiana, and has not had a cake since she left Hillsboro every birthday she remembers Perfections cakes and misses them so.

so exciting this bakery. i had a carrot cake the same day i got accepted to pharmacy school and it was MIGHTY delicious. little did i know it came from Hank’s bakery. holy cow. this cake was super delicious. i feel like going in and getting a whole carrot cake to myself. the cream cheese frosting was not overly sweet and complimented the moist but not too sweet cake so perfectly. there were shreds of carrot in it as well. my mouth is watering now, i have to stop. do yourself a favor, if you’re going to have a party or an event, get a carrot cake from here. you will NOT be disappointed.

I love apple fritters. I seek out great apple fritters when I travel. I have my favorites and the Perfection Bakery apple fritter is now on the top of my list. (and that’s no slight to the other top few — they are all fantastic!)
What sets these apart is that the inside of the fritter is so very light. Still nicely moist with little apple bits, but not too thick or heavy. The outside is that tempting crunchy sweet shell that we love in a great fritter, but that light inside — surprising.
Warning –they make both regular size and jumbo size. Holy moly — that jumbo really needs to be shared between two fritter lovers.
And the price — buck 50. What? That’s just silly cheap. I’ll take two please.
I might say «if you are passing through Hillsboro, you should definitely check them out»… but heck, I’m telling you — make the trip. It’s worth it!

Delicious!!! When we lived in Hillsboro, 9+ years ago, my wife used to stop in here once in a while for a treat. On this visit back to the area, we had to check it out and see if it was as good as she remembered. Although they did not have the item she really wanted, we each tried a slice of cake from the case — I had the orange shortcake and my wife had the lemon shortcake. Both were VERY good. We will swing by on our next trip through!
