Out of 55 New Plants, Baby Cakes Takes the Cake!
Bushel and Berry® Baby Cakes Blackberry® was named the Best in Show at the Farwest 2016 New Varieties Showcase. Hosted by the Oregon Association of Nurseries, this berry plant outshined all other new trees, shrubs, flowers, and vines.
Brand NEW Blackberry Bush Available Now
Bushel and Berry® Baby Cakes Blackberry® is now available to you for the first time ever! This plant was developed by the University of Arkansas Agricultural Department to give you the best berry to grow and eat.
It was just released to the public, so here’s your chance to be one of the first people to enjoy this sweet, new blackberry bush.
No Wait: Built to Bear Fruit for You the FIRST Year!
Now you don’t have to wait until next year to delight in fresh, delicious blackberries. This blackberry variety was cultivated to produce big bunches of berries on new shoots the very first season. Don’t wait in anticipation when you can indulge in the classic blackberry flavor sooner.
More Berries for You, Double the Bounty
This blackberry bush produces fruit twice in the first year. Plant the Baby Cakes Blackberry® in spring and pick the first batch of berries by midsummer. In most regions, your plant will produce two fruit seasons every year—bearing fruit a second time in fall.
Plus, the berries burst forth in a beautiful display right at the top of the plant—no digging for berries. Just grab and go with the Baby Cakes Blackberry®.
Developed to Make Blackberry Gardening Easier for You
This blackberry plant is self-pollinating and disease-resistant. You won’t have to worry about all those extra hassles of planting pollinators and researching disease treatment methods. Just plant in full sunlight, water regularly, and watch it blossom with beautiful white blooms in spring and big, juicy blackberries in summer and fall.
Limited Yard Space? These Will Thrive in Containers!
As a dwarf plant, Baby Cakes Blackberry® grows up to 4 ft. tall. And 4 ft. wide. Since it takes up less space, it’s the right size to plant in a pretty, decorative pot on your patio. City dwellers and homeowners with smaller yards need not miss out on growing blackberries with this variety.
Plus, there’s something special about cozying up next to your own blackberry bush. Sit within arm’s reach of the dark-blue berries. Take in the aroma and easily grab a handful for a delicious snack.

So far so good.
Easy to unbox and transplant into my chosen planters. No fruit yet but plant looks healthy. Fingers cross it thrives and I can start growing more of my own food.
Love this
It is growing quickly and is huge! Can’t wait for next season to see what it brings!!
1 Year Later - Baby Cakes is OK, Big Daddy is Better
Last summer I planted Baby Cakes, Natchez, 3 in 1 and Big Daddy. The Baby Cakes was a much smaller plant than the others, tiny really. I think I bought it somewhere else. It is not small anymore. It has grown like crazy. In fact, it has spread like crazy too. One bush has really become three bushes. If you don't want it to spread, maybe it should be in a container. It is just now starting to fruit and does not seem to producing a huge crop. I would recommend Baby Cakes if you really want a smaller (still pretty big) thornless blackberry for a container. If you want a lot of big delicious blackberries, the best so far is Big Daddy, also available here at Fast Growing Trees.
Wish berries were sweeter
