Anyone who’s ever had a sweets craving in Florida and didn’t exactly know where to go can now breathe a sigh of relief. Sure, there are quite a few spots in Florida offering up sugary sweets, like this old-fashioned candy shop and factory, but what about those who have a more specific craving? Think chocolatey, warm, thick, cakey, and delicious. Oh, and did we mention voted the best in the state?

It’s not uncommon to visit Gideon’s Bakehouse in Orlando, Florida and be turned away because they sold out earlier than expected.
