There's a bakery in Salem that creates the most decadent cakes we've ever tried, and you can stop by for a slice, or take home a whole cake.

When your sweet tooth is begging for a slice of cake, head to Gerry Frank’s Konditorei in Salem, Oregon.

The word "konditorei" is the German word for cake shop, and this bakery specializes in decadent cakes of all flavors. Address: 310 Kearney Street SE, Salem, OR 97302

This family-owned bakery got its start in 1982, and it's been creating delicious cakes ever since.

Gerry Frank and Barney Rogers were the original owners; when Gerry retired at age 94, he sold the shop to his long-time manager Linae Sielicky and Mike and Valerie Schultz of Lovin' Oven, where the cakes are baked.

Pictured above is the Afterschool Cake - a rich, yellow cake with milk chocolate buttercream frosting. You don't actually have to be a schoolkid to enjoy this classic.

For a light cake, try the Champagne Cake, which consists of a fine white cake and a whipped white buttercream frosting. The slices served here are enormous, so bring your appetite!

Other popular flavors include Red Velvet, Barney's Blackout, Chocolate Fudge Truffle, Coconut Crème, Lemon Crème, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and more.

If you want to share this cake with loved ones, order a full cake to take home. The bakery offers six-inch cakes, nine-inch cakes, and half-sheet cakes.

Gerry Frank's always has some whole cakes ready to go but if you want a specific flavor and size, it's best to call ahead and reserve your cake.
