In the heart of the community stands a bakery that has become a local legend—Ms. Myrtle’s Bakery, known for its soulfully inspired sweets and heritage-rich recipes. Among its beloved offerings, one dessert rises above the rest in both legacy and flavor: the Sweet Potato Cheesecake.

This extraordinary creation didn’t happen by chance—it was the result of a remarkable collaboration between Ms. Myrtle’s Bakery and one of America’s most celebrated bakers, Cake Boss Buddy Valastro. Known for his family-run Carlo’s Bakery and star status on television, Buddy brought his culinary expertise to the table when he partnered with Ms. Myrtle’s to help fine-tune a recipe rooted in tradition.

Combining Buddy’s precision and flair with Ms. Myrtle’s down-home comfort and generations-old techniques, the result was magical: a rich, velvety cheesecake infused with the earthy sweetness of sweet potato, kissed with warm spices, and finished with a buttery graham crust. It honors Southern heritage while offering something entirely new—comforting, nostalgic, yet gourmet.

But what truly makes the Sweet Potato Cheesecake special is the community’s response. It’s not just a dessert; it’s a symbol of unity, collaboration, and legacy. Locals line up for it during holidays, celebrations, and even “just because” moments. Some say it reminds them of family Sunday dinners. Others call it the dessert that “feels like home.”

Not only does Ms. Myrtle’s Bakery serve its signature original cheesecake that keeps customers coming back for more, but they’ve also crafted a standout twist that’s hard to keep on the shelf: the Banana Pudding Cheesecake. This irresistible flavor blends the creamy richness of classic cheesecake with the nostalgic comfort of banana pudding—layered with vanilla wafers and ripe banana goodness. It’s a fan favorite that sells out fast and has quickly become one of the bakery’s most talked-about creations.
