    Custom cake (strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting and strawberry jam). Decorated with "Hollow Knight" theme

    Such a great bakery experience! I ordered from out of state, and they were so incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire custom cake design process, even accommodating last-minute changes from a different time zone. The custom strawberry cake, mini blueberry cheesecake, lemon cheesecake, vanilla cheesecake, and carrot cake cupcake, were beautifully decorated, and my recipients were thrilled and couldn't stop raving about everything! If you're looking for a custom cake, birthday cake, or just a local bakery with amazing treats, this is the place to go! I asked for a custom cake with designs from a specific video game, and they were so helpful and made it look SO cute! Highly recommend! Five stars, 10/10, amazing customer service and spectacularly delicious treats!

    Talented pastry chef Kayla Renfroe owns Cake Street Sweets on Remsen Street in Cohoes. The bakery produces cookies, pastries, and individual desserts with a focus on wedding and special occasion cakes. We first became aware of this amazing bakery when a pumpkin shaped cake was ordered for my daughter's bridal shower a few years ago. Not only did the dimensional cake look excellent, it tasted great. Today a cake was served for my granddaughter's fourth birthday party with a Frozen theme. The beautiful cake was unique because of the cake's flavor profile: cinnamon bun! Imagine that! The cake had a complementary maple flavored filling which was not too sweet but perfect in texture and flavor. The family and I were blown away by the incredible taste. The cake was enjoyed by all and received many compliments. Check out the photo! We are lucky to have such a creative and skilled baker in our area! Her creativity and commitment to pure ingredients are appreciated by my family and friends.

    This cake we ordered for my friend is so beautiful and really artistically well done. It tasted delicious and was a great price for quality of the cake itself. Definitely my go to place if I need to order a cake again in the future!

    I recently visited Cake Street Sweets for a 3rd time and was very disappointed in the quality and service I received. I sent an order in for my husband's birthday cake. Because they now offer vegan options, my husband chose to get the vegan flavor cake. They are not professionals in decorating vegan cakes. I sent a picture of what I wanted and discussed it over the phone. The whole cake (the icing) was not able to be made vegan which was. The decor looked like a beginner cake decorator experimented on the cake. My husband went to pick it up and didn't know what it would look like until I looked at it later that evening. When I emailed my disappointment and even resent pictures of what wanted versus what I got, Kayla responded with its a vegan cake. Then I called the next day and asked if vegan cake decor was supposed to be ugly. looked like a cake ordered from Wish. Very disappointing. Kayla was very rude and disrespectful. She even hung up on me. I would never go back there again and would never recommend her to anyone. Even if you want a vegan cake don't order unless you want a plain undecorated cake. For some reason, she can't decorate on vegan cakes. The pictures below show what I wanted and what I got. I asked for: White icing. Gold drip. Top icing(piping) design: Green, Black & Yellow In the top middle of the cake 'CG' logo. (Picture attached) I have attached pictures: (1) an example of the cake I wanted for this order. (2-4) what I got (5) the cake from last year. The logo on the top was the best part because it was printed on edible paper. She called and said they didn't have gold for the gold drip. I asked for black, green & yellow drip. She said they can't do a different color drip even though she did it last year. By the look at the cake from my previous orders, it seemed like the real cake decorator couldn't take her rude nasty attitude and left. If you did please tell me where you went so I can order from you. Kayla is going to reply saying she gave me back some of my money-"to cover the cost of the vegan supplies." That cake wasn't worth the price. I've seen better at Walmart. She only got 1 star because my husband liked the logo. **I also noticed that the owner's response to a negative comment is to blame the customer, by saying they 'Berate her'. Seems to me that the common denominator is the owner Kayla. Every single customer is wrong in how SHE handled the situation. You need to work on your customer service skills.**

    This is the photo of my wedding cake they did for me!

    If I could give 10 stars I would. They were so friendly and the cake was DELICIOUS! I had a white birch rustic themed wedding and this was the gorgeous cake they made!

    So I stumbled across Cake Street Sweets in cohoes on google and OMGG I decided to get 2 strawberry crunch cupcakes 1 vanilla 1 carrot cake 1 Raspberry macaroon 1 slice of raspberry almond dream cake 1 blueberry muffin but pictured because I devoured it. Staff was nice quick and efficient everything tastes so good and I'm not a big frosting fan myself. But their frosting was perfect creamy and not too sweet definitely worth it go check them out!

    The most amazing Birthday cake.

    I ordered a cake for my husband's birthday and Cake Street Sweets went above and beyond. My husband was SO happy when he saw the cake. Even happier when he tasted the cake. Thank you so much for taking pride in your company - it shows!!!

    What a horrible experience. My mother had placed an order with Kayla (the owner) for my sons baptism. My mother requested a white buttercream cake with "touches of blue" and a gold cross (see attached email, I did crop it due to my mothers personal info being attached). When we picked up the cake the day before his baptism, we received a completely blue cake with smears of frosting covering it, gold leafing and so much "detail" that it was difficult to read the writing on the cake. This was the exact opposite of what we asked and honestly confusing as I would never picture that being acceptable as a baptism cake. I called and spoke to Kayla multiple times throughout the day. Multiple times she stated that their design was beautiful and a highly requested design, however she was not understanding that it was not what we asked for. Her personal beliefs of a design are not relevant. She did offer to refrost the cake or give me a $25 credit for future purchases. $25 towards a $100 cake that was nothing of what we asked for. In the end, I decided to bring the cake back and have it re frosted. We live a significant distance from the business so when I asked how long to expect this to take she told me approx 1-2 hours depending on how long it takes them to defrost the frosting, remove it and then refrost. When I dropped it off the women I spoke to asked me what I wanted and we agreed on the design. When I picked it up the cake it looked beautiful (see picture) and I thanked them. The next day during the party, we cut into the cake and found a thick layer of blue frosting underneath and a very thin layer of white frosting on top (see picture). I then emailed Kayla and requested a full refund as these added inconveniences and poor quality are unacceptable. Kayla was extremely rude, turning the conversation on me stating I insulted her staff by saying that the original design was not acceptable (the design I didn't ask for and was not a baptism looking design) and so fourth. She also attempted to state my mother did not specify the design during a phone conversation, however the email proof is very clear. Kayla then offered me a 50% refund, however rescinded that when I stated her customer service was poor and a full refund should be applied. I am absolutely shocked by my experience and am leaving a review in hopes no one else has to deal with the stress and disrespect of this owner. I'm sure the owner will have a lot to say in response, however all I ask is that you show compassion to future customers during their special day.

    Iced coffee with coffee cubes, cookies and cream brownie, warm choc chip cookie, chocolate cupcake
    Nancy S.

    Excited to have a quality bakery so close to where I live! Had an unexpected day off from work and it was a nice day, so I decided to take my jogging stroller and my twins, and make the trek downtown to get some exercise in and enjoy some sweet treats (and not feel guilty about it). The shop storefront is adorable and very welcoming...upon opening the door, the bell rang and I was greeted with a smile, and a helping hand to open the door for me. The display case had many delicious sounding options so I took a few minutes deciding what to order. I knew I wanted an iced coffee (which came with coffee cubes as to not water it down). I finally opted for a chocolate/chocolate frosted cupcake, a cookies n cream brownie, and a chocolate chip cookie. I was actually offered a warm one as they had just come out of the oven as I was in the shop. I thought that was nice. I chatted with the owner, Kayla, who was extremely friendly and personable as I checked out, and sat to enjoy my treats with my little ones in tow. Everything was really yummy. The cupcake was super dense but not overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. And who doesn't love a warm cookie? Just needed a glass of milk to go with it. All that sugar probably would have been even more enjoyable if I didn't have a 2 mile uphill walk in 80 degrees to get back home, but it was worth it! :) I had also ordered a few other goodies to go - more chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, a couple of mini cannolis, and eclairs. Those were all delicious too. I can't wait to go back and try some of their more savory items, and if I need to order desserts for an event, I'm glad I have somewhere so close!

    I've had the pleasure of ordering from Sienna and Danyahl! First, I randomly just looked up…read morebakeries near my house, sort of last minute, which I don't recommend, but Danyahl responded right away, and was so very kind and accommodating to help me select the strawberry celebration cake you see picture below. I wasn't sure which cake to pick because they all looked delicious. and her creative artistry seemed impeccable, but I know we didn't have time for that, but I'm keeping that in mind for other occasions in the future Note that this is a small business owner getting her feet firmly planted on the ground, has an interesting story and one that we should all be supporting. She is local in West Hartford, and while has an incorporated business still bakes out of her home, which is great, because this cake was full of love. Now back to the cake. This was amazing. it was layered with a confetti cake and layers of cheesecake. Yes, cheesecake! There's also a thin layer of fresh strawberry jam. I picked it up on Saturday didn't get to eat it until Sunday night and it was tremendous..highly recommend leaving it out for a while so that it gets room temperature and all the flavors meld together. It is now a few days later, and it is still quite moist and soft after storing it in some Tupperware All in all so very happy to have ordered from Sienna and I am hoping for nothing but success for this business, Danyahl and her family.

My wife and I stopped in on a warm winter morning and got a few baked goods and two drinks to try. I had a rosemary vanilla latte and chocolate pistachio sourdough bun. She had a masala chai, and olive/feta/rosemary focaccia. We started with the bun & focaccia. The bun pulled apart nicely and had the subtlest hint of sourdough. The chocolate wasn't overpowering and matched the pistachio flavor nicely. It was a bit messy but delicious nonetheless. The bun was deliciously moist in the middle which was my favorite part. The focaccia was thick and full of flavor. Personally not being a huge fan of olives, I think the chunks of olive were a bit too large for my taste, but that's personal preference. I won't take points off for that. The drinks came out after a few minutes. The latte that I got had some nice art on top, and the rosemary taste was very pleasant. The chai was also quite nice, I like the taste of masala as well. My wife got oat-milk with it which gave a nice nutty flavor to it. Staff was very pleasant, as well!

What I'm most picky about is service, and I'm impressed with Christian, he's a respectful gentleman, knowledgeable, and really helpful with recommendations. Responsible, helpful, paying attention, intelligent. People my age often complain about the younger generation, they should meet Christian, our world's future is bright with young people like this. Good luck whatever you do Christian, and may you continue to shine as you do now always! Amen!
