I got these as a Valentines treat from my bf delivered to my place. While these looked adorable, flavour was disappointing. The peanut butter frosting was decent and the banana and chocolate cake was alright but all the other flavours came off as artificial. The frosting was way too sweet and the crumb was dry and got bitter by the second day.
Look at how absolutely beautiful the baked goods at Cakabakery are! I finally stopped by during ShopHop to pick up a sweet. I wish I could've tried everything, especially their house-made poptarts. It was so tough to choose just one but I had to go with the whoopie pie. It just looked too good to pass up. The chocolate "cookies" had an absolutely incredible texture. It was the most delicate crumb on a baked good that I've tried (just look at the close up). Rich cocoa flavor with a candied peppermint aftertaste. Reminded me of an Andes Mint. Their selection is rotating daily so make sure to checkout their socials to see the daily menu. If you can think of a baked good, they probably sell it, including custom orders! Also shoutout to the owner. Put him down on the list of amazing people who love their work. He was incredibly kind and helpful while I was totally stressing about what to buy.
Worth every penny! I loved my baby shower cake! They worked with me on the design and also helped me find the best option that would still keep me in budget. The cake was moist and delicious. My guests loved the cupcakes, I didn't even try one! Lol Thank you Cakabakery!!
Short notice on my part but the Cakabakery delivered! My grandma has a gluten and dairy intolerance and they were able to meet our needs. The cake was delicious and beautifully decorated. Could not tell that it was gluten free and dairy free. From my first email connection to a phone call and pick up the Cakabakery was responsive and understanding of our needs. Cannot believe that we have never been to this bakery so many yummy things, we will be back!
Update: Peter, one of the co-owners, reached out to us in both an email and called my husband to apologize. Peter reviewed our emails and talked with the staff from that day and said he found multiple mistakes that were made through the entire process. Like I said before we are human and mistakes happen. While the initial response to this situation wasn't great, we were ultimately given a genuine apology, a full refund, and even asked to come into the shop for a face to face apology. The desserts were delicious and our cake was to die for. Their flavors are unique and super yummy. If you have an event or even a wedding, at least go into the bakery and do a taste testing. Hi there!!! I had my wedding on Friday, June 22nd and it was absolutely amazing. Everything went perfectly except our cake vendor, Cakeabakery, which messed up royally. We ordered for a cake, 6 dozen cupcakes and 6 dozen cookies that were listed as delivery on our contract. My now husband got a call around 2:15 the day of the wedding from Cakeabakery asking if we were picking up our order and they close at 3:00 pm. Luckily we had some amazing family members rush over there and pick up our order. When we got the order at the venue, we were missing 6 dozen cupcakes. My sisters were calling the now closed bakery to let them know they were on the way to collect the other 1/3 of our order. Upon arrival, Cakeabakery did not have our cupcakes. So my sisters had to collect whatever cupcakes that were left. One of the workers gave my sister a $100 of the $150 delivery fee. We received an email this morning from I'm assuming the owner. He 1. Did not acknowledge the missing cupcakes, 2. Take ownership for their mistakes or apologize on their end and claim it was a confusion, 3. Asked for the money back I understand mistakes happen, people are human. We paid for 6 dozen cupcakes and did not receive our order! I also have multiple emails stating they would be delivered and they even sent an updated contract with the delivery fee. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else. My sister who works at a bakery her self did a little digging into their reviews and we are not the first couple this happened to on their wedding day. Check some of the reviews on Google.
Thank you so much for making this a smooth experience. They nailed the design, taste and vision. Couldn't recommend this place enough!
Fantastic bakery with many different flavors to choose from. We get our birthday and celebration cakes from here whenever we can. Sometimes you will find they are no longer taking orders for certain weeks a month+ in advance on their social media page. This happens when big holidays and wedding season is in full swing. Plan accordingly. Every time we have picked up the people working are so nice, no matter how long the line is for pick up. Small parking lot in the back or street parking for your visit. Our favorite is the vegan lemon cake.
We got our wedding cake custom made from Jason and wow, it was STUNNING! We talked about doing something different for dessert, but for some reason I had it in my head that I wanted a tiered wedding cake (When else are you going to have a reason to have a four tier cake? Life is short) Beyond being beautiful, every flavor combo was delicious. They did such a great job of every aspect. Looking forward to eating that top tier on our anniversary! Professional and fast communication throughout the process. Out of everything it was honestly one of the easier details to coordinate, such a breeze! 10/10 a great bake. Thank you guys!
Terrific selection of delicious cupcakes with the perfect blend of flavors that are not too sweet. I purchased a caramel/vanilla buttercream cake that everyone enjoyed and was visually beautiful. Plan ahead when ordering a custom cake.
Helloooooo Cakabakery! This charming shop can bake up your wildest dessert dreams. On top of that, both of their locations (Grand Rapids and Holland) feature new delectable creations made from fresh, local ingredients, daily! From their cupcakes, to their cinnamon rolls, to even their chocolate chip cookie dough , we agree that this bakery takes the cake! (Haha ) Check out their Instagram page for their daily lineup! We hope you get a chance to enjoy the charm of The Cakabakery!
I visited the West location in Holland but there isn't a separate Yelp page for that. I saw Jason, the owner's, episode of Cupcake Wars so I've stopped in a couple times. Unfortunately their Holland location is so hidden from the road I worry about their business. I don't see any marketing besides an active Instagram account which is how I found them on the explore page. They are where Second Floor Bakery used to be off Lakewood. The cupcakes should probably be bigger for the price but they are tasty and we don't have a ton of cupcake bakeries in town. The lemon could stand to have more lemon flavor. When I get a lemon dessert I want it to be *LEMON* not just lemon. The cake itself was perfect consistency. The chocolate chip cookies are spot on! Soo much chocolate in every bite and just the right amount of dough flavor comes through in the center. I'll be back for cupcakes for my birthday and I want to try the cinnamon roll and pecan roll, those looked great!
Words cannot even begin to describe how tasty this bakery is... YUM!!! Whenever someone is new to town... I always advise that they make a stop here! I love the designs of their sweet treats, I love the flavors of their sweet treats, and the staff is always SO friendly! I was looking for some spooktacular Halloween goodies this past weekend, and Caka had the best and most festive baked goods by far! All of their creations were so unique and made my Halloween party that much more fun! And not only did these treats look amazing... they also tasted amazing! The "RIP Hunger" cake was a Snickerdoodle flavor... UH-MAZING. So, if you're just looking for some tasty treats... or you're looking for some cute treats for the holiday season... Caka is your place to go!
My fiancé is obsessed with Batman so every year I order him a custom made Batman Cake from different places. I never really bothered taking pictures because the results are usually good but not that great. As you can see, I couldn't help myself but to take MULTIPLE pictures of the cake I ordered from Cakabakery. I made sure I called in more than two weeks ahead of time because I was told that they only make custom cakes if ordered two weeks prior so make sure you do! I emailed them a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like and they said they could make it. I was so excited and couldn't wait to see the results! It was finally time to go pick it up and I was super happy with how the cake turned out! It wasn't exactly what the original cake looked like but super close! My fiancé loved it, he was smiling like a little kid :) Taste wise, we couldn't get enough! Stomach was starting to hurt from eating too many slices but that did not stop us haha. Everyone loved the cake, from the design to the taste so I will definitely be placing in more cake orders.

If you want to taste the the most amazing chocolate chunk cookie in Grand Rapids, visit the Cakabakery. They also have wonderful cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, cinnamon rolls or beautifully decorated cakes for any occasion. You will not be disappointed. read more

Cakabakery has good banana with cream cheese frosting and dairy free double vanilla cupcakes. I did not love the chocolate chip cookie as much. I would try some other cupcakes here. read more
I LOVE this place! My coworker and I will stalk their Instagram to see what delicious treats they have that day before we stop in. Their dessert varies and will change everyday so I recommend following their instagram @thecakabakery to stay updated on what they have in shop. They also vegan treats! There isn't a parking lot so you will have to park on the street but totally worth it since they're usually not busy. The baker and staff are super nice and welcoming! read more

Such a cute shop!! It was so clean and nice with friendly staff who were all masked when we went. They were helpful with suggestions and giving us the information about the cake of the day and what was available. The cookies were absolutely delicious!!! We enjoyed the cupcakes too but 1 was a bit dry and we think that was because we went close to the end of the day. We will be back over and over. read more

I'm sad. I'm sad I have to say this. I put all my eggs in the Cakabakery basket for my upcoming wedding. Everyone knows of this fantastic bakery in GR. I emailed them, they sent me pricing and I asked if they offered tastings before we commit. Jason emailed back and said yes just let me know whenever you'd like to pick up. I had told him in said email that we wanted some of the unusual flavors offered in their "classic" flavors such as lemon and banana. I was PUMPED. Go in to pick them up. Saw Jason. He didn't even lift his head up from his phone to say hi or acknowledge me as a customer. Womp, womp, womp. Whatever. Anyway upon my return at home I wanted to cry! We got 4 cupcakes. Vanilla on vanilla, strawberry champagne, chocolate/caramel and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Vanilla was less than exciting, the dog stole the chocolate one off the table, carrot cake is not my thing and strawberry champagne was fantastic. Either way my whole point is this isn't what we wanted to try. Maybe it was a miscommunication, but I RE READ our emails of me saying we wanted lemon/banana and they basically gave us the flavors the storefront was selling that day. While one might be excited for free cupcakes I was actually bummed because I wanted to try the actual flavors we would order. They are lacking attention to detail, and now I'm not sure I'd trust them to execute my wedding day, if they couldn't get my tasting right. read more
Kudos to Cakabakery for being open in this tulmtous times.Open Wednesday and Saturdays. Hubby picked up a surprise for my burthday... I had to open the fridge the last two days waiting to eat these beautifully crafted cupcakes. Both moist and filling. I got two flavors. Raspberry Lemon, a little on the sweeter side. Almond Joy was the perfect level of everything. I liked the coconut throughout the cupcake. I hope to order a birthday cake in the future. Baker Cakabaker takes cake orders 2 weeks in advance. Will be back to try more! read more

This cupcake shop is the best of the best! The staff is super friendly and nice and had even given us some free cookies that they were going to throw out. They have vegan options, which change over the week! As someone who isn't into pastries that are overly sweet, Cakabakery always has the magic touch and their frosting is never too overbearingly sweet! The atmosphere is lovely as well! Definitely recommend! read more

I think I have been subconsciously not stopping in here because I thought this location would never live up to the old windmill they moved out of... however I decided to order up some cookies designed for a Yelp event with the Yelp logo on them. I am so glad I inquired and placed my order because the process was so simple. When I went to pick up the cookies, it was a unique entry in that you had to walk downstairs to get to the bakery area for customers. Not quite a unique and fun as the windmill location but still a different fun way to walk in. It was night and light and white in there, some places to sit if you wanted to eat your baked good there. The selection was superb with some good classics as well as some delicious sounding unique combos! The cookies were shown to me that I ordered before paying and they looked phenomenal. I am super impressed and would totally order something from them again. Everyone at the event commented on how they looked and said they were super tasty too! read more

I was looking for vegan donuts in town, called around, couldn't find any. I called Cakabakery to find out what vegan options they had. They have cupcakes. I went by, picked up a vegan lemon cupcake and enjoyed at home. It was excellent. Sometimes things don't work out so better things can come your way. read more

Dear Cakabakery, thank you for..... adding that extra junk in my trunk after eating your SO GOOD Chocolate Chunk Cookie. Thank you for .... adding w little jiggle in my walk after making those SO MOIST & TASTY cupcakes (in particular Carrot, yum & Banana with PB!). LOCATION: Pretty easy to find, right on Wealthy St. towards East Kentwood. On the south side of the street. Inside an old flower shop that is just the cutest! You will be parking on the street with meters but a quarter is for a half hour! Plus there are a lot of great food places you can eat at too just by walking this little block. STAFF: Let me say, that gal helping me today was THE BOMB!!! Not only did you have fun hair (blue streak), but you were the sweetest! You gave top notch customer service & I truly appreciate that!! FOOD/TASTE: I ordered 3 chocolate chunk cookies & 2 cupcakes all for $11.00!! Chocolate Chunk Cookie - HUGE & SO GOOD, you can't go wrong here! Don't know what you want to try, get this! Moist, full of huge chocolate chunks & so good, did I say that already? Carrot Cupcake - THANK YOU for not putting all kinds of "stuff" in my carrot cupcake!! I am one that appreciates having carrot as the star! I could see carrot, taste carrot, & it was so moist & melts in your mouth like butter! The frosting, was smooth & creamy, not to sweet & not at all grainy! Please don't ever change this recipe, do you know how hard it is to find a good carrot cake!!! Banana with Peanut butter - Thank you again, for using real food!!! Again the banana was the star, as it should be, I could see the banana in the cupcake, taste it & it was so moist & light! Again, melts like butter in your mouth. Don't change this recipe either!!! OVERALL: I WILL ABSOLUTELY BE RETURNING AGAIN!!!!! Finally a local bakery that serves great items consistently across the bored!!!! WOULD I RECOMMEND: YES ! Please don't hesitate! Oh, also, did you know they were on Food Network's Season 8 Cupcake Wars! read more
