Huh? GiftYa?

As a reminder, a GiftYa digital gift card is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a gift card that functions just like every other gift card. It lets you make purchases at a participating bar, restaurant, or store up to the face value of the gift card. 

However, unlike traditional gift cards, a GiftYa can be sent straight to your phone in seconds, where it can be linked directly to the credit or debit card of your choice. That way you don’t ever have to worry about forgetting your gift card at home or, for the environmentally conscious among us, wasting plastic on something that will be thrown away after just a few uses anyway.

GiftYa makes delivering a gift card to thousands of local and national merchants easier than ever before. You don’t even have to go to a store in person if you want one for yourself. You can just visit the GiftYa website and pick one up today.

Absolutely Cake

Enjoy Custom Cake + Wedding Cakes from a Florida Cottage Food Operation Business Serving All of NW FL

Panama Panama City Beach | absolutely-cake.com

Think you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Think again. Since 2011, Sebrina Shepard has been bringing beautiful custom cakes to all of NorthWest Florida and its surrounding areas. As a Florida native and veteran of the food-service industry, Sebrina knows a thing or two about providing excellent food and excellent service to the area she calls home. 

Absolutely Cake offers a wide variety of flavor options, from decadent Italian Cream to the old southern favorite Key Lime. If you’re in the mood for something more traditional, her customers have rave reviews about her Red Velvet and classic Vanilla cake as well, so you really can’t go wrong no matter which flavor appeals to you.

But the thing that really makes Absolutely Cake stand out are the creativity of her designs. From intricate lace-like piping on wedding and groom’s cakes to whimsical cakes modeled after farmyard friends, nostalgic video games, or television shows featuring a certain British doctor and his time-traveling telephone booth, you will be blown away by Absolutely Cake’s confectionery creations.

“If I lived in PCB, I would make up events just so I could order from Absolutely Cake. I planned our entire wedding from Texas, which meant relying solely on reviews and word of mouth. Holy smokes am I glad we found Sebrina. Our wedding cake and cupcakes were AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!” - Yelp Review by Randi E. 

Absolutely Cake doesn’t offer GiftYa digital gift cards just yet, but check back soon because we are always adding bakeries and attractions in Panama City!

Touch of Velvet Bakery

Grab Giant Cookies and Delicious Cake Fashioned After Old Family Recipes From This Carry Out Bakery

1219 Ohio Ave, Bldg F | Lynn Haven | places.singleplatform/touch-of-velvet-bakery

This locally-owned business brings a touch of history to the giant cookies and delicious desserts it serves up. The recipes behind the treats that fill Touch of Velvet’s shelves have been in the family for years, so it’s no wonder locals love stopping in to grab all of their favorites. 

Order a whole cake, or just grab a slice. Either way, be prepared to enjoy the spoils of your trip to Lynn Haven elsewhere because Touch of Velvet Bakery doesn’t currently have a seating area where guests can enjoy their desserts in-house.

“Soooooo yummy! I haven't found anything from there that I didn't like. It's also great to support local owners” - Yelp Review by Debra S.

You can’t get a digital GiftYa gift card to Touch of Velvet Bakery at the moment but be sure to check back soon as new bakeries and locations in Panama City are added all the time!

Simple Delights

Gluten-Free Baked Goods Even The Pickiest Dessert-Lover Will Devour

606 Commerce Dr | McElvy Commercial Park | simpledelightsbysk.com

To the average dessert connoisseur, gluten is the name of the game. It’s the protein that gives baked goods like cookies, breads, and cakes their texture and structure. And unfortunately, it’s a no-go for some people. Luckily, the baker behind Simple Delights – Shandana Khattak – is adept at baking treats with gluten or without.

Simple Delights offers a menu packed with unforgettable flavors. Peach whipped cream cake? Chocolate raspberry brownies? Yum!

“Gluten-free cakes: ARE DELICIOUS! The cake she made for the cake tasting that was gluten-free tasted like a candy bar! Coconut, chocolate & cake. She makes wedding, multi-layer round and sheet cakes for all events! Try the mango cake, too!” - Yelp Review by Robin C.

Right now you aren’t able to get a GiftYa digital gift card to Simple Delights but check back because there’s more bakeries and stores in Panama City added all the time.

Andy’s Flour Power Cafe and Bakery

Treat Yourself to Baked Goods That Aren’t Fancy, But Are Super Fresh
