We got this as a gift from a friend but I wanted to make a comment. It was so good. It has three different flavors and all of them were so yummy. I normally do not like something too sweet but this one is perfectly done, not too sweet, just right. It is also visually so appealing and has intricate design. Obviously it didn't take long to eat them all. I would love to order some more for me. Great gift to give to friends and family also. read more

Austin Cake Ball - 1 dozen cake balls for my neighbor for Christmas. - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

So this little gem was found by mistake but some mistakes are made to be! This isn't your typical cake spot, as in the name, they serve cake balls but these cake balls are so good you won't want to share. I sadly don't live locally but the day I received an order in the mail, I truly knew what love was. If you are ordering online don't be fooled by the 2-4 options - you can specify in the memo what flavors you'd like - my favorite in the oreo & lemon, and I can say I've tried all but the red velvet just because red dye flavoring doesn't sit well on my palette. And let's not forget that should you buy a tin, you get a discount when you bring your tin back to be refilled. Seriously - go get you a cake ball from here and thank me later. read more

The greatest last min gift! I placed the order the day before, the website was super easy to use and let me do a customized gift message, they delivered the next day and it made my friends day!

I am from out of town and I like to support local businesses and cake ball was the perfect choice. The cake balls are perfect during our current climate because they are individual delicacy's a party. I ordered the turquoise tango which is a red velvet ball and the other is a vanilla Carmel cake ball. They are beautifully decorated. Options for every occasion. Will let you know how they tasted after the party . They prefer on line ordering, but I had difficulty because I am from out of town. I called the team member and she was pleasant and very friendly. She placed the order with a smile you could hear! Family owned business, so support your mom and pop shops wherever you live! read more

Beautiful, unique, moist and very tasty cake balls! Plus the owners are really great people.

Superior service! The container they come in can be reused. That is a great perk. We had them for my daughter's bday and one of my son had them for bday too. They are absolutely delish! So many flavors to choose from. This is a must check place if you go thru Austin. read more

I live in NY and had the cake balls delivered to my fiancé and his bachelor party staying in Austin! I wanted to do something nice for him and needed to act quickly! I ordered a few dozen of the cake balls and they were seriously hand delivered to him within an hour and a half! They came so nicely packaged and the good lookin groom collection was soooo cute!

I've placed orders or cakes balls twice now, and I still haven't gotten eat one! Not fair, I ordered them for my sister and my daughter and both times they got rave reviews. I need to get some for me! Online ordering is easy, and for delivery if it is local they take care of it themselves and if it is long distance it goes fedx. Not cheap but worth the cost for an impressive gift, the presentation is beautiful. read more

Amazing delicious cakes & fast delivery!! Service above & beyond !! I highly recommend this place!!!

I ordered a dozen Cake Balls for my friend's birthday from 2000 miles away! The packaging and presentation was gorgeous. I personally didn't taste them, but she was elated! The set I got had 3 different flavors - vanilla bean, chocolate & strawberry. There are a couple reasons why I didn't give a 5 star review: - Prices were insanely expensive. $40 for 12 balls = $3.33/per ball (WOW!) + $3 for a bow. - No customization of flavors. I wanted a different set, but it contained flavors I didn't think she would enjoy as much.. so I had to pick a different set I thought was less aesthetically pleasing. - There is a $14.95 weekend delivery option, with a 2-hour window (her birthday was on a Saturday this year). That's no biggie, but the text box to write in a time window disappeared once I selected the delivery option. - Because I couldn't specify a time on the website, I had to choose the pick-up option, and let her know in advance where and when to pick them up.. which spoiled the surprise :( Obviously I still purchased the gift, but I can't see getting these for anything other than an extremely special occasion. read more

I just love their cake balls!! Classy and delicious. Dense enough to fill you up just one to two cake balls. Not overtly sweet either. Can't wait to show them off at the dinner party. The designs are timelessly beautiful. The ladies that helped me were very nice and attentive. read more

They really have balls. Cake balls, that is. I ordered a batch of these the other day by using a Groupon, as I think a lot of other Yelpers did. Three kinds of balls I got: Chocolate, Chocolate Espresso, and Cherry Almond. So this morning I drove over there to pick them up. It was on my way to another errand, so why bother paying for delivery? Austin Cake Ball sure is hard to find. I drove down the little street behind the Hobby Lobby and pulled into where Cake Ball was actually located, but I didn't see any signs anywhere because I had a case of the stupids. So I drove on over to Cap City Comedy Club, to no avail. Then I drove down the road going the other direction, and that's when I saw the little sign that said, "CAKE BALL" with arrows pointing the way (pathetic Yelp won't let me make arrows in my review). I followed the signs until I found a parking spot. Cake Ball is in the corner of the shopping center, suite 104. I chit-chatted with the ultra-hot counter guy (UHCG) for a short while about how their balls compare to Holy Cacao's. My inner juvenile couldn't stop silently laughing about the sexual connotation of the word "balls" and how I was comparing one guy's balls to another guy's balls. I've never been to Holy Cacao, and since Cake Ball charges about the same price, I have no reason to go to Holy Cacao. UHCG pointed out cake balls in the display case that looked like basketballs, and others that had the New Orleans Saints' logo. I said, "I'll come back in the fall and get some Dallas Cowboys balls." Heh. Saying that to UHCG, I almost felt like I was at a sperm bank. Other than the footballs, I don't really see myself ordering any cake balls in the future, unless I'm getting them as a gift for someone else. The Chocolate Espresso cake balls are good, but a little dry. I think they need some espresso icing in between layers of the cake. The Cherry Almond balls are my favorite so far. They have some icing in there, with pieces of fresh cherry and, of course, almonds involved. I haven't tried the straight Chocolate [salty] balls yet, so I can't comment on those. And hopefully they won't be salty. Heh. read more

After my cake ball snafu, I had decided I just wasn't that "into" them. Maybe it was me...I could understand if our love wasn't meant to be. Then Ben found me on Yelp and my cake ball opinion changed. He knew I was hurt from a previous experience, and delighted me with his knowledge of Cake by Bridges beginnings and business designs. I was very impressed that someone would go out of their way to contact me and show me what real cake balls could taste like. Let me tell you, after my first bite, I was swooning. German Chocolate cake balls tasted exactly like a German chocolate cake. They were moist and soft inside. The Red Velvet cake ball had 2 distinct tastes... the white icing and the cake. I could taste both flavors in my mouth. Honestly, I tried a few more and I'm not proud of my gluttony in the car after our meeting. Besides the amazing taste, the actual beauty of these balls are exquisite. Take a look at their website. This is something that could give wedding cupcakes a run for their money. Petite, delicious and beautiful. Hopefully these guys will be showing up around town in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled, follow them on Twitter and screw your diet with the best cake balls in Austin. read more

I love cake balls, but these weren't that good. Consistency was fine, but they lacked sugar oddly enough. Very disappointed.

In the interest of saving time and not developing carpal tunal while writing my review, I am henceforth shortening "Austin Cake Ball(s)" to just "ball(s)". Onward- this is my first experience with balls, and what a great one it was. Thanks a bunch to Kelly for the invite to the 2nd anniversary party. There were balls everywhere. The balls were all quite good- moist and flavorful, and suprisingly dense. (Think of a cupcake smashed into the size of a ganache truffle, then dipped in a fabulous chocolate shell.) The salted caramel flavor was definitely my favorite. Ok, I admit, this whole review is tailored towards me being able to legitimately say "chocolate salty balls" in a review. However, that doesn't change the fact that these things are delicious and highly recommended, if you're in the mood for cake. Or balls. read more

I have a correction to make. The Ispahan and the double chocolate cupcakes at Cupcake 2.0 were credited to the incorrect baker. The baker of those scrumptious cupcakes are actually Devrah, and no, you cannot get those commercially. As much as that breaks my heart, I think I can recover. I found out about this mistake when Ben and Stacey read my review, and informed me that they were not the bakers of this cake. They even graciously met me out of their own time and presented me with a box of assorted cake balls: peanut butter, Italian creme, red velvet, banana, and chocolate. These little gems were absolutely gorgeous, almost too pretty to eat. See pictures above. Delicate and tasty, these treats are perfect for any occasion or gifts. The Italian cream cake ball I had was just luscious. The outer coating was firm, but not hard. The inside was super moist and flavorful. I think I'm over my Isaphan crush. The cake balls are made with crumbled cake mixed with butter cream frosting. Then they are hand molded, dipped in confectioner's chocolate, and then artfully decorated. They look like truffles, but they aren't. You might think that these might be overly sweet, but they are just right. The advantages of these 2 bite treats over cupcakes or bigger desserts is that they aren't huge (who needs a gigantic dessert?), they are small so you can get multiple ones without eating sick, and they make easy-to-eat pretty gifts. While Cake by Bridges does not currently have a retail store (coming soon though), we can all hope and pray. read more

Austin Cake Ball saved me! I had one of those moments were I confused my best friends birthday and failed to get a little something for her. Panicking I called every cake place to see if they had anything available or open. The lady from Cake Ball listened to me patiently and worked with me to get me two cases of cake balls ready right away. She went the extra mile even though she didn't have to to help me out. Needless to say I was able to have some cake balls for my friends birthday that tested incredible! read more

I've tried cake balls a couple times- once at the grand opening for The Zoom Room and again at the cake ball 2nd anniversary party. And I have to say, OMG, I LOVE these things! I tried almost every flavor imaginable at the anniversary and I have to say that the mojito flavor is my favorite! I also liked the new tiramisu flavor. The coconut was also delish, as was the devil's food cake. I want these things at my wedding! I already have my flavors picked out, too =) read more

Austin Cake Ball: Why were you holding out on me? Was it because I used a Groupon and you didn't feel that I deserved your best? I am hurt... truly. I went to an event, compliments of the lovely Kelly S. *the hot chick who's one to know, I must add!* and you were there. I was looking forward more to the wine than your company, I have to be honest. Then, I walked in to Mercury Hall and there you were in all your glory. Mark M. and I couldn't resist a try. Oh My Goodness Sweet Baby Jesus! The salty caramel, the key lime, the tiramisu.... I get chills at the mere thought. Thank you for coming around again and making sure to give me your best this time. We're totally on the mend. Besitos read more

The folks at Austin Cake Ball are the most innovative bakers I have found in the cupcake/cake ball sector. Otherl cupcake places are pleasant enough but are often boring because their flavors and chocolate and vanilla with chocolate icing or vanilla icing. The competition thinks it is "wild" if they go with red velvet or carrot options. Austin Cake Ball is really interested in experimentation and their new flavors are really good. These are not your grandmother's cupcakes. Plus - the flavors are really strong - which is a plus. The aftertastes are wonderful - stick in your mouth for a good 20 minutes to half an hour and make you happy. So what is the downside? One - price. Balls are three bucks a ball - and you don't get all that much of a discount if you buy in quantity. If you want to serve these to guests or at a function - prepare to shell out. (Note the balls are fairly priced for what they are. Pay more - Get more - and here you get more.) Secondly - these balls are heavy. We are NOT talking petit fours here - and we are NOT talking cream puffs. You could eat two of these and call it lunch. Their substantiality is completely pleasant. They digest easily and do not sit in your stomach. But they ARE totally filling. And with their strong (good) after tastes - you don't want to follow these or precede these with other food items. So you would want to think two or three times before featuring these at a buffet where you have lots of other food. (I would not use these at a wedding party for example.) If I was doing a reception with coffee for some famous person and I wanted to put out just one item - and I wanted it to be really good (and my pockets were deep) - this would be an excellent choice. After all, these cake balls are really good. read more

I have never actually been to the physical location, but I did partake of some Austin Cake balls at a company launch party once. And they were delicious! They had chocolate ones and red velvet cake balls. The red velvet were my favorite, so moist and yummy. My boyfriend who doesn't even like cake liked them! The cool thing was that they had even done special edible decorations on top of the balls just for the particular party: see pictures. (The launch party was for PetsMD.com so they had mini edible blue chocolate bones and the PetsMD paw print logo design on some of them- so cute!). Not sure how much they had to pay for the ones they got (since they were specially decorated) but $25 for a dozen seems pretty steep to me. These were yummy but not that good. But if you've got the dough to spend, these definitely looked super cute and were very professionally done (and surprisingly filling!) I've never had the cupcakes. read more

This is a great place to buy (slightly) overpriced sweets to give as a gift from Austin. The cake balls themselves are yummy, look great, and people seem to like them. The come in a nice tin which makes them easy to transport in a suitcase or other luggage and also makes them look like a more substantial gift than the usual plastic bag of goodies. The reason they get only 3 stars instead of 4 is because they're disappointing as a local sweets shop. If you want to go in and get a few cake balls, they're $3/each. The result is that they're just a novelty gift shop for friends and family, not a local landmark, which is too bad. read more

This was my first visit to Austin Cake Ball so I bought a variety of six different flavors: Mexican Chocolate, German Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Red Velvet, Chocolate Peppermint, and Vanilla Bean. Each cake ball had a thick outer layer with a creamy, soft cake ball inside. My favorites of the flavors I tried were the vanilla bean and Mexican chocolate. The flavors were simple, but the vanilla came through just enough to cut through the sweet white chocolate outer layer. The cake balls were presented in a beautiful copper colored tin that held the six cake balls snug in place. I was very fond of the presentation and have used the tin multiple times since my visit. read more

I've had these cake balls twice in my life, both at baby showers & they are really delicious! My favorite is the Lemon drop- it's better than the chocolate and vanilla IMO. I've also had red velvet, but there was no cream cheese flavor, which is usually my favorite part of a red velvet cupcake! I love the assortment of flavors & each cake ball looks exquisite!! Definitely a winner if you're shopping for a special person in your life! Would be an awesome "just because" gift or a pick me up on a bad day. Husband, if you're reading this, get me the lemon drop... haha ;) And other flavors I would love to try next : - Italian Cream - Nutella - Tiramisu read more

The photos of your cake balls are so beautiful perfect and smooth. Then we get our order and it's nothing like the photos on your website except the design. The cake balls were lumpy, and looked like they had been dipped into the chocolate coating while sitting on a cooling wire rack you would cook cookies on. Your photos show a perfectly coated ball with a little pedestal. It's very misleading and your product should look exactly like your photos. Packing is beautiful Packed for shipping beautiful Taste on balls was OK. We understand a business gets busy, but if its at the sake of presentation, then it needs to be fixed. read more

Ive been craving cake balls for a log time and finally got to check it out. I tried the pumpkin spice, lemon, and the mexican vanilla. I enjoyed the fruity flavors more because the mexican vanilla had a weird aftertaste, but it was glazed well on the outside but sweet and moist on the inside. I gave it 4 stars just because it is expensive but if you ever want to treat yourself I would definiety go! read more

Tsk, tsk. It was shameful the moaning coming from our house last nite. After 20 yrs of marriage and still??? Despite what the neighbors think, these moans of pleasure were induced by balls....cake balls, specifically. I had a brilliant moment yesterday. I was to meet a girlfriend and her hubby for happy hour to celebrate her bday and I thought balls for her birthday would be perfect (if you knew her, you'd understand...). Welp, they ended up not making HH. Did I tell her I had bought balls for her?? Oh HELLS NO. More balls for me!! Balls in my hand, balls in my mouth, balls on my chin, balls down my chest...oh yes, it was a Ballnanza in my house! I had purchased a dozen with lots of variety. Most definitely my favorite was the salted caramel. To my dismay, I thought I had purchased a couple of red velvet, but I didn't, so I'll have to go back for those very popular balls. The other balls I sampled (ok, ok, I scarfed em down) were the lemon drop (too sweet) and white chocolate peppermint (which is seasonal). All are sweet enough to give you the pee-pee shivers for sure. They were all perfectly made, semi-hard frosting on the outside, moist cake on the inside. These balls come with a hefty pricetag for sure, but can you really put a price on balls-for-your-birthday?? The best part is I have plenty to last me a week....a ball a day keeps the bikini away! read more

I don't think I've ever had cake that's tasted this good! They're like eating little orgasms! So savory, moist, and perfect! I ordered a dozen mixed cake balls online for my boyfriend's birthday. I picked vanilla, German chocolate, red velvet, and tiramisu! We devoured them in about three days. They were delivered prompted when I asked them to. Gorgeous presentation. Gold tin box, enormous bow, chic little bag. Friendly delivery service. The website was pretty and easy to navigate. VERY EXPENSIVE, but definitely worth the money. It was $40 for a dozen cake balls, including delivery, message, and bow. You won't be disappointed, though! read more

yum. My husband loves cake. Really really loves cake. He has been known to polish an entire one off by himself within a day or two. While he has a high metabolism, we are also not teenagers any more and have had the inevitable creep of weight over the last several years. Last winter, we decided to do something about it and started exercising and taking better care of ourselves. (By now, you are probably asking.. what does this have to do with Austin Cake Ball, but I'm getting to it...) We've both lost a bunch of weight but we still like our indulgences. Austin Cake Ball fits into that scheme perfectly. One of the things the husband and I have learned is that we would rather have 2-3 really amazing bites of one thing than a whole plate of it. On Saturdays, we tend to drive up to North Lamar for Vietnamese for lunch. Ever since I introduced the husband to cake balls, the car seems to magically guide itself to their nearby storefront for a post-lunch dessert. We've tried other places, but these are the ones he lusts after. We've also sampled most of their flavors and the one we keep going back to is salted caramel. It's just so good. Words really can't describe it. Just go get one. My husband who probably thinks cake should be its own food group finds himself completely sated by one or two cake balls. He thinks they pack enough punch that he doesn't really want more. While I'm positive these things aren't low calorie, I do have to think that turning him into a happy camper after one cake ball is better than 3 slices of cake with a huge glass of milk. Their cake balls are decadent and pack a huge amount of flavor in each one. While I do think the salted caramel is the best of the lot, I've yet to hit a clunker. I'm seriously considering ordering some for my next major social thing I have do bring food to. They aren't cheap, but these puppies would make you 'that person who always brings the cool stuff' without any kitchen stress. read more

I've been stalking this place a bit. Driving by--slowing down--looking out the window---but not stopping. Maybe the same thing I do if I ever found out where Matt Bomer lives. Today, we finally caved and walked in. Life will never been the same. We've all had homemade cake balls at a graduation party or office party or baby shower.....the cute, but poorly executed attempt at forming normal cake into spheres and covering it in icing. Honestly, I expected something similar at Austin Cake Ball. I was wrong. Very wrong. Christi greeted us--and please let me add that Christi is one of the most fantastic, funny, and helpful people I've ever met in Austin. She gave us the run down on ACB's operations. Impressive!! What's more impressive is what happened in our mouths as we took bites of Red Velvet, Lemon, Nutella, Oreo, and Salted Caramel--the texture, flavor, moistness, ideal level of sweetness, and structural integrity all perfect. A food mouth orgasm, as it were. These cake balls aren't something you'll throw on a paper plate and serve at your kid's third grade holiday party. These are elegant, sophisticated, and surprising. Forget cupcakes, cake, and god forbid slices of pie--I'm serving Austin Cake Balls at my next dinner party, corporate event, or grown-up birthday party! Oh yea, and these bad boys would make a PERFECT gift. Way better than flowers. :) read more
