I'm eating a very tasty slice of orange pound cake. It's perfect in every way. The service is good. If you have a large group they can handle it. read more

I only ever come down around this way once a year, and that's for Super Smash Con. Who knew this strip existed with such a lovely cake decorating workshop? The space has plenty of tables, and delicious decorated cakes on display. I wonder if they were all customers or if the staff did some of them, hmm! I should've asked. At the counter on the back wall, you can get snacks and drinks in addition to the kits for the decorating. I didn't decorate one myself, but I observed the whole process. There are shelves of different tools, like skewers, piping bags and more. There's a frosting for every color and plenty of fondant for extra creativity. We were able to bring in food -- pizza for this occasion, and the staff were kind enough to serve it for us. The staff were super polite, efficient, and willing to answer any questions and assist the decorators! For anyone in the area that wants to do something both crafty and delicious... definitely consider Cake Time! They opened right as the pandemic began I believe... I'm glad they survived! read more

We were here recently for a birthday party and were pleasantly surprised by how warm and inviting the cafe/bakery was. The staff were very helpful and friendly and they also make beautiful cakes and tasty drinks. It's a nice place not only for gatherings but also if you are craving a pastry and beverage in a cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend! read more

Thank you to Cake Time for gifting us an afternoon of quiet, relaxation and joy in these crazy times! We booked a private event with Cake Time for my sister's baby shower and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. With our booking we were able to have the entire studio for our guests for snacks, drinks, and cake decorating time. The whole experience from booking to execution was flawless. A few things to note: + We had a small party for ten but the space can accommodate a lot more. I can see this type of event being fun for children (or tween) birthday parties, girl scout troops, mom friends or date nights. + We brought in a lot of decor but the whole space is so cute that you probably don't need anything than a few balloons to make it look festive. + Each guest will have an hour and a half to choose and decorate their cake. Our group had a mix of experience cake makers to newbies and we were all able to come home with something that we could be proud of. I made a pineapple cake, my mother made a sunflower cake, my sister made a fox cake, and my niece made a whale cake. There are tons of designs to choose from! + If you do not want to commit to an entire cake you can decorate cupcakes or cookies. + You can also purchase cakes/cupcake kits to decorate at home! The owner Amanda was very friendly and hands-on. She assisted with setup and answered all of our questions (there were a lot of them!). She was able to keep the party moving so we were pretty much all finished by the party was up. We had a similar cake decorating party at Sprinkles Cupcakes for my other sisters' shower and I have to say that CakeTime is a lot larger, cleaner and easy to work with. Parking is easy and accessible and the staff was very involved. I would not hesitate to come back again. In fact, my preschooler was so jealous of my afternoon out and I've already promised a trip back so she can decorate a cake with her friends! read more

Toppers not included...placed order for 2 dozen cupcakes online. Very easy process and had a section for requests and such. She responded quickly. Asked to pickup an hour earlier than her opening time and order was ready to go when we got there! Ordered red velvet, carrot cake, cookies and cream and raspberry! Red velvet and carrot cake was our favorite. Wished the cookies and cream was only in the icing part on a chocolate cupcake. We think it would be even better with the cookies and cream incorporated within the cupcake. The raspberry has raspberry filling inside and a nice icing on top. The cupcakes were all delicious and will definitely order again! read more

I came in here for an open diy cake decorating session expecting to decorate the cake for 1.5 hours as stated on the booking. However, me and my 7 year old daughter finished decorating the cake in 30 minutes. We wanted to stay longer but there was nothing more to do because we were already done. Smearing some icing, putting marshmallows and sprinkler only took 20-30 minutes. I thought the price was too expensive for such a short amount of time spent. We were told to pick out 6 items to decorate and nothing else was explained. We were also given a roller to roll the dough but there was no dough. The only items that were given were icings, marshmallow and sprinklers. Not to mention how small the cake was as well. I expected at least a medium sized cake but it was smaller than expected. read more

My daughter had her birthday over the weekend and it was a blast! We booked a private party for 14 girls and it was perfect from start to finish. Cake time and the instructors/hosts were so friendly, helpful and made sure the girls had a great time. I didn't catch all their names except for Mara but all 3 instructors were great! They assisted the girls when needed and even helped served the pizza, sandwiches and birthday cupcakes. The location was a hike for us but all the guests said Cake Time made it worth it and we would love to come back again! read more

My wife and son were out of town for a day so I spent the day hanging out with our daughter. I made a reservation here based off of the Yelp reviews. We arrived and it was pretty empty. The staff was so helpful and my daughter wanted to copy one of the designs that they have (bubble tea looking cake). The staff gave us all the colors and we grabbed the tools and supplies. Everything was so well organized and clean. When we were almost done there was a birthday group that came in and it looked like all the kids were having a blast too. The best part is that the experience wasn't overly priced. Fondant cakes are usually pricey when you have someone make them. But we got to make and design the cake (the actual cake mix was already done but you chose how you want to decorate and design it). And the staff boxed it up nicely for us. We ate part of it the next day and it was so good. Very moist and flavorful. We will be back! read more

I stumbled across this cake decorating place. There were two kid birthday events happening at the time. There appeared to be lot of cute small cakes that one could decorate. There was a display wall of examples. I stopped by to purchase a cupcake. I ordered two cupcakes. The actual cake was delicious but the buttercream was not that good. The buttercream was overly sweet with no real taste. read more

My wife and I went in for the "nailed it" cake decorating. The staff was extremely friendly. Getting set up was streamlined very well. Everything we needed was provided, we spent about 90 minutes decorating the cake. Eating the cake next day was fun. The cake itself tasted good (not great), but we still ate it all! read more

Cake Time is an amazing place! The owner was very responsive and helpful. We had our daughter's birthday party there and all of the kids had so much fun. Several even asked their parents to have their birthdays there. Cake Time took a great number of precautions to protect from COVID and we get so safe. They limited the number of people we could have there. All kids had to wash their hands upon entering. Each kid received a disposable apron and their own table to work from that was spaced sometimes more than 6 ft. apart. We got to pick our own theme, so the kids decorated llama cupcakes and cookies. Each kid picked their own color frosting and had so much fun. The instructors were clear in giving instructions, which were also shown on a big television for everyone in the room to see. My kids are already asking to go back and take a class. read more

The shop is colorful and welcoming. This was a our first time and didn't know what to expect. It was a quiet day with just one other family there which we liked! The young lady working that day was very pleasant and helpful. My daughter and her friend really enjoyed decorating their cakes and later when we ate it-it was moist and delicious. We also purchased their take home DIY cookies and this was also a fun activity. What a clever idea for Moms that don't bake or have the patience to do this at home. We will be back! :) read more

We went to the "Nailed It" date night and had a blast! We are very inexperienced cake decorators, and they offered positive feedback and helpful tips to help us get started. The cake decorating kit had enough materials to recreate the model cake and to put our own creative spin on it. It was such a fun date night! read more

I have been there twice now with my young grandson for open studio. We decorated 2 different cakes. They have been wonderful experiences. We both had a great time. The staff is amazing. Everything was set up and ready for us when we arrived. The cake was delicious. He loved it so much that we are thinking of doing camp there over the summer. read more

Cake Time is a great place! I had a lot of fun decorating my cake and the instructions were great and the instructors were a huge help. Although I had a great time I was a little disappointed because when I cut into my cake it was chocolate and I ordered vanilla. That was very disappointing because everything else went so well, but I couldn't enjoy the actual cake. read more

I tried a few of their cupcakes and they were decent. Some of them tasted very similar to the kind of cupcakes you would get at a grocery store bakery. read more

I visited Cake Time on Sunday, August 8th with my 12 year old daughter. We live on the West coast but we're in the area visiting family. I have been having a tough time trying to find fun things for her to do since we don't have friends here her age or cousins her age. Then came Cake Time. I found them by accident online. They are super clean, amazingly friendly (thank you Kaitlin) with excellent and affordable pricing!!! Other vendors were trying to charge $95 per cake/session. Since I wanted to do tandem with my daughter that would have cost $200 at another place. What?? Cake Time allowed me to have fun with my daughter that met my budget. We paid just $90 for two decorating sessions. They played great background music we both enjoyed, provided utensils and beautiful vibrant and bright colors for decorating. Best of all the cakes were absolutely delicious l!!! Who knew? My daughter got chocolate and I ordered vanilla. The cakes melt in your mouth., no joke. My daughter continued to thank me for taking her. Enough said. Thank you Cake Time !!!! P.S. the only thing I would ask for is increasing the time limit so you can enjoy the fun and not feel rushed. read more

We had my daughters 10th bday there and it was just great!!!. The place cannot be cuter, the store is just like being in a movie, painted in nice soft pastel colors and full of cute decorations and cakes! The girls could not believe how beautiful the place was, the moms were excited too. The three Cake Time girls were fun, organized, patient and just great! The kids had a blast with the help of these three young ladies! Everything was ready when we arrived, the aprons and the materials for each of the attendees (fondant, baked cupcakes, molds, roller, sprinklers, gummies.. etc). The birthday girl was in charge to make the frosting, how excited she was! The Cake Time girls made her feel special! Then it was time to listen to the teachers and then apply it. So much fun!!! lots of laughs, lots of colors, lots of faces with colored frosting... After finishing the decorating the girls enjoyed some pizza and refreshments in another long table, reserved for them. Cannot recommend this place more!!! read more

Affordable, goof-proof, & fun! I've had girl's days twice at Cake Time so far and it's been GREAT each time. We get to chat and laugh while focusing on our creations. The staff is helpful and provides everything you need to decorate however you want to! They'll provide tips & a guide if you want to follow along, but it can really be whatever you want to throw on the cupcakes, cookies, or cake. Super easy to make a reservation online. 10/10 would suggest this! My friends and I like to grab coffee & lunch then head here to decorate (this way we are mostly full & don't eat our creations too much as we go along...). read more

We had out daughter's 10th birthday party here and it was fabulous! All the girls had fun and were so excited to take their cakes home. The studio is spacious, clean and well decorated. All safety measures were in place and they were great about asking kids to use the hand wash station. The staff was fantastic and they kept offering to help with setup and serving food. We had so much fun, we can't wait to go back! Thank you, Cake Time!! read more

I actually came across this place searching for a birthday cake for my niece. When I saw that you were decorating your own cake I just knew I had to book it! Booking was super easy & everyone was super nice! When we got there, it was very clean & the staff was super friendly and patient while we took a while to figure out which designs we wanted to create on the cakes. While we were decorating the cakes, the staff continued to make sure everyone was okay & if we needed anything! I absolutely LOVED this place! I will definitely be back & 100% recommend! read more

Have had great experiences here. First with a cookie decorating class and then again with a custom DIY cookie decoration kit for my son's birthday. read more

This is a fabulous idea but our experience was just okay for the cost. It was our first time and while I have decorating experience I expected some decorating tips/tricks/ideas during our visit. There were some cakes you could use for inspiration but no other assistance offered when asked about ideas. The younger girl helping seemed offended when I asked questions on just about everything. I had to ask for the tips I needed for my project and my daughter wanted help with making roses but that wasn't an option. Again, maybe I set my expectations too high but more engaging staff would have really helped our experience. read more

We ordered the bunny kit cake for Easter. They delivered it to my door. My 7 year old son is not into baking but LOVED this. He likes to watch Nailed it on Netflix and was pretending he was in the show. This is the cutest idea. read more

Such a fun activity and they taste amazing! We have had the privilege of being able to decorate 2 cookie kits. Each cookie kit came with step by step instructions and everything we needed to have a great mother/daughter bonding time in the kitchen!! We will definitely be ordering again! read more

What a great idea! I've never been to a place where I could decorate my own cake or cupcakes and had a lot of fun with my kids. They loved picking out their own colorful decorating supplies (fondant, buttercream, sprinkles, etc.) and making their own creations. There were also so many tools for us to use to really make it unique, like letter, number and shape cutouts for the fondant. And the best part...the cake was delicious. I'll definitely be back! read more
