Cake

Our cake looked amazing exactly what I wanted! She was very friendly and personable. Was always able to reach and stay in contact with her.

The beautiful rose like cupcakes/works of art Erinn created.
Aronne M.

Erinn at Bake Me a Cake was recommended to me while I was looking for someone to make cupcakes and a custom cake for a friend's baby shower. First of all, she's just really pleasant and likable. I will put up with arrogant jackasses when they're really talented if I have to, but Erinn comes across as that type of affable friendly that makes her seem like the kind of person you'd want to be stuck in an elevator with while you're having a panic attack. Or the stranger you'd trust to watch your belongings while you chased down your runaway pet. And then there is the actual product. I asked her for what I thought would be a semi-difficult layered cake (Erinn scoffed at the difficulty level) and cupcakes all with buttercream frosting. It's hard to go wrong with buttercream, it's basically the kind of deliciousness that you could take a bath in, but it's also a bit fragile in it's susceptibility to heat. No worries with Erinn's work. It held up like cathedral constructions. Even during my former Marine boyfriend's breakneck 'transpo,' which would send even seasoned combat veterans into white-knuckled alarm. Additionally, although I hadn't thought to give her particular instruction on decoration for the cupcakes, she turned them into beautiful rose-like works of art. The layered cake I thought would be so difficult, Erinn executed with perfection, even though I again had not given her much in the way of aesthetic specifics. I had asked Erinn to color the layers inside the cake to correspond with the colors of the flag of the country in which my friend and her husband were born. It was a little surprise for them and one of the things I am most happy I did for the shower. The colors were bright and beautiful and stood out so perfectly next to that delicious white buttercream. I couldn't have been happier and, most importantly, neither could the mom and dad to be. Bake Me a Cake is an excellent choice for your next event, big or small.

Absolutely LOVE the house warming cake that our coworker purchased for us when we moved into our new home!

We ordered here today based on the reviews and were excited, it fell short. Our order was supposed…read moreto be ready at 12:41pm, we didn't get it until after 1:30pm. One platter was supposed to have ribs, they weren't included, and rib tips were substituted with no communication. When we asked, we were told they didn't have any available. The tips were tough, full of fat and gristle, the waitress offered no remedy. I asked for flat cut brisket, that request wasn't followed. I got very fatty chunky portions that a lot of my party simply couldn't eat. The brisket had very little smoke flavor and didn't taste fresh. The "tenderloin" doesn't look like what's advertised, it's a thin, frozen, fried patty, and it was cold. The baked beans don't look as advertised either and tasted thin, like they came right out of a can. The penne mac and cheese was the worst, no flavor, not even cheese flavor, which is weird. It tasted like noodles in yellow water. The lemon icebox pie was frozen solid with a refrigerator taste. This item was forgotten from our order. When I brought it to the waitress's attention, she told me she'd given it to me separately, that wasn't true. I had laid out every item from my order on a table and didn't leave because I wanted to check accuracy, since we could hear other customers with the same issue of forgotten items. I genuinely don't know where the positive reviews are coming from. Everything was low quality. We were disappointed and feel taken advantage of, given the advertising versus what you actually get.

I had a most tender brisket jerky ever!! Wait... I ordered…read moreslice brisket BBQ. Yeah... the meat is super tough, a kitchen shear, chain saw or blender would help to chop down the thing (not sure if that is brisket). Also good dental plan is prerequisite for visiting this place. Salt and pepper is premium there, so none of it was used in season the log before smoke. Smoking wood might have been scared so the log should be in smoke for about 22hrs, was pulled out at 2. No smoke flavor, yet desert Sahara dry. They deserve A for effort to keep the door open, but F- for execution. Coming from Texas, my expectations was lowered, but this place took it to many many levels down. Need less to say, would never going back there. At least the potato chip is done well by Lay's

I would consider this place a very cozy cafe to spend time in. It was a bit noisy, but we made the…read moremistake of going on game day. I ordered a GIANT bacon and cheddar croissant. It was still warm, but somehow it was hard and sort of unpleasant to eat. I did not get the 'bacon' until I found a pocket where 5 slices were stacked inside. I would also say it was a very salty croissant. It was a beautiful pastry, but not one that I would grab for in the future. As for my coffee, the chocolate chip cookie latte caught my attention on the sign. It stayed house made chocolate chip cookie syrup. The coffee was good, but I'm still not sure why it was called chocolate chip cookie. I think I honestly just ordered 2 items that simply weren't for me. My husband got the honey bear latte and it was very smooth and quite pleasant. He also got a chocolate chip scone. It was a good scone, but quite softer than what I imagine a scone should be. When we left they had just put out an Oreo cake of some sort. I wish I had held off ordering until I saw that come out. It looked absolutely delicious ! The overall vibe of the place is definitely something to come back for and perhaps to push my rating to a 5. The staff were wonderful and very friendly, especially for a busy game day.

Just too many choices for coffee/breakfast to return to a place that made more than one mistake. Also, there are too many single people using the four top tables, making it hard for larger parties to sit comfortably.

Really liked it. I believe it's mostly, if not all, vegan. I know they were experimenting with some…read moreitems with dairy a while ago but I did not notice any non-vegan items while I was there, so not sure if that's still a thing. Anyway, it is a little out of the way. It's walkable from downtown but not really in the downtown core. Pretty quiet when I was there, but the atmosphere felt approachable. Some of the chairs were like school desk chairs (adult-sized, of course) that I haven't seen since I was in primary school which was kind of funny. The guy at the counter was cheerful and friendly. They looked like they had run out of some of the hot savory items by Saturday mid-afternoon, but there was still a wide variety of sweets. I believe the current owners are Indian, and you see some of those flavours featured. I got: Samosa handpie: Good, not mind-blowing, but good. Nice flavours. If you like a flaky crust, this is not it, but I liked the rustic pastry crust. Pistachio cardamom donut: Loved it. Before I moved to Bloomington, there were a few bakeries that offered vegan-GF cake donuts that I loved, and this was the first thing I've gotten here that reminded me of that. Pleasant texture and strong cardamom flavour, not too sweet. I think these are baked donuts, so they're a little different from regular fried donuts, but in a good way IMO. Rose dream latte: Milk with rose syrup topped with coconut whip and nuts, no espresso. Tasted great, but more of a dessert drink than I was expecting. The coconut whip was quite thick. The concept could probably use some refinement, because the whip was too thick and rigid to drink without a straw, but the nut pieces were too big to go through a straw, and so I couldn't figure out the best way to drink it. From what I understand, there are some longtime fans of this place who feel like the quality has dropped since the most recent change in ownership, but as someone who had never been here before, I really had a good experience. I get why people would be upset when something changes, but if you are considering trying this place for the first time, I wouldn't be too put off by the negativity around the change in ownership. There's no other place specialized in vegan baking in Bloomington, so I think it's good to support what they are continuing to do here, and even though I am partial to vegan food I wouldn't say that if it wasn't also GOOD. They also had some refreshingly unique options for baked goods.
