Ryan Gosling's Late-Night TV Rave Sends Small Florida Bakery Into Another Universe
One shoutout from Ryan Gosling — and a small bakery went from local favorite to national frenzy overnight. While appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Gosling raved about a Tallahassee spot called The Cake Shop, specifically hyping their homemade Pop Tart-style pastries and telling viewers, basically, “go get these.” That’s all it took. The bakery — which has been around for more than 25 years — got slammed with calls and orders almost immediately. The owner said the sudden attention felt like being “blown into another universe,” especially since the shop had been closed for spring break when the segment aired… meaning demand piled up before they even reopened. The connection? Gosling got hooked on the pastries through a Saturday Night Live wardrobe staffer whose sister owns the place. Apparently, those treats were backstage fuel when he hosted. Now the little neighborhood bakery is dealing with a very first-world problem: too many customers.
