Hey there, friends! If you haven’t already taken a trip to Chip and Joanna Gaines’ bakery, it might be time to start planning that visit to Waco, Texas. The beloved couple from HGTV’s Fixer Upper opened Silos Baking Co. a few years back, and it’s been creating magic ever since. From decadent cupcakes to warm, comforting biscuits, this place has been wowing customers left and right. And let’s not forget the "Shiplap" cupcake—because of course, there’s a cupcake that pays homage to their signature design style!

Now, here’s the story behind this little slice of heaven. According to the bakery’s website, the dream of opening a bakery came straight from Joanna’s heart. “Joanna has always been passionate about baking and cooking,” the site shares. “From her childhood days, she cherished every moment spent in the kitchen with her family. That’s where she picked up the secrets to her homemade chocolate cake, Syrian donuts, chocolate chip cookies, pies, and more.” It’s like stepping into a piece of Joanna’s childhood, right there in Waco.

The Heart of Silos Baking Co.

The bakery is tucked away in an outbuilding at the Silos complex, which also houses their famous Magnolia Market store. But Chip and Joanna didn’t just want to create another shopping destination—they wanted to give visitors a place to unwind and enjoy themselves. That’s why the Silos complex includes a garden, a lush lawn, a food truck park, and, of course, this beloved bakery. As the website explains, “Silos Baking Co. is designed to let visitors feel Joanna’s love for baking and experience her classic, fresh, and unexpected style in every pastry, bread, and sweet treat.”

So, what do the people who’ve visited Silos Baking Co. have to say? Well, Yelp reviewers are absolutely raving about the place. It currently holds a stellar 4.5/5 rating! “If you’ve watched the HGTV Fixer Upper episode where Chip and Jo build this bakery, you know just how special it is,” writes Allison M. “I had the pleasure of visiting today… The bakery was beautiful, and it was surreal being inside the building after seeing its transformation on TV.”

Brandon L. had this to say: “If you end up in Waco and are looking for a really good cupcake, you’ve found your place. They are really good. Worth waiting for, no matter what others say.” And Sarah W. couldn’t agree more, writing, “I honestly expected to be let down by the bakery. Thankfully, I was so very wrong. All of the cupcakes were incredible. Like, without a doubt, my favorite cupcakes I’ve ever had.”
