Welcome to American Dream Cakes
Onslow County’s Longest-Operating Family-Owned Bakery
In 2021, we’re celebrating 20 years in business. We’re proudly serving Jacksonville NC and surrounding areas as Onslow County’s longest operating family-owned bakery.
Our bakery, located at 1121 Gum Branch Road, specializes in custom cake creations for all of life’s events. We are operating with minimal staff during COVID-19, but you can still stop in to pick up ready-to-go desserts like delicious gourmet cupcakes, dessert cakes, tea-cookies, and more, all made fresh daily in-house. We also offer Curbside pickup, just give us a call when you’re in the parking lot and we’ll bring your order to your vehicle. Wedding cake consultations and custom cake consultations can still be scheduled Tuesday-Thursday for phone or FB messenger appointments.
