What to Expect
Cakesmith's Confections in Mutare has long been known for its cupcakes and doughnuts. Nakai (2024) called it “The best confectionery in town”, and Cakes Kuda (2025) had a pie “pipping hot and delicious” alongside “the real redvelvet cake of all times”.
In the most recent review, quality looks less consistent. Colin (April 2026) found the “pastry on pies undercooked and the pies fall apart”, and noted the “Selection on pie fillings has become very limited” compared to earlier visits.
