    Delicious cake that taste homemade and great flavor options. This time we tried something different and they both were delicious as usual. This time we tried the pineapple coconut and the pumpkin spice slice.

    This cake is sooooo good!! So buttery, creamy, not too sweet, not too heavy. i had the red blue velvet cake, and omg! When I first tried it, I was like okay. This is good. i ate a few bites and I kept putting it away. The cake was cold when we purchased it, so that impacted the flavor at first. I left the cake slice out in a car most of the day as I was running my errands, and each time ingot back to the car, I took a couple more bites, and that cake got better with time. The icing was perfect! Cream cheese icing, which was so delicious and fresh tasting after thawing out a bit. The richness of the red and blue velvet cake was divine! The butter flavor that also became more and more prevalent after leaving the cake out. I ended up eating the last of it on my way home from the bar, drunk in an Uber, and all I could think was, damn! This cake was really really good! If you haven't tried cakeboi yet, get to it. My cousin ordered a Bday custom cake for her daughters party. I will steal those photos to post on here for me when it happens. In the meantime. i took videos and pictures from my Instagram food page (@2girls1plate_nyc) so excuse the hashtags and the blurry pics. But yes, go to cakeboi and get your life!!!

    I stubbed upon this place making a wrong turn and was caught by the title. I pulled over and was so Happy it wasn't a mistake. The cake was so delicious moist and creamy. They had so many options it was hard to choose. I even met cake boi himself he was a delight and provided exceptional service. Please support

    I Got A Story to Tell...Cakeboi gets an instant 5 stars for the Biggie Cookie, a sugar cookie with Biggie Smalls' face emblazoned on it. The cookie was no-no-no-notoriously good. Things Done Changed in the neighborhood, but passing up this bakery would be Dead Wrong. There's even a Tupac cookie available, but remember what neighborhood you're in. The cake is great too, very moist and I Love The Dough. The Sky's the Limit with the different flavors (Fun Fetti, Red Velvet, Pineapple Coconut, Double Chocolate). Taking off 1 star because there's limited seating in the bakery. Add an ODB or Aaliyah cookie to the menu and the bakery can have its 1 star back.

    So I had this place on my list to check out for a while, so I stopped by after picking up dinner, to complete my return from vacation about 5:30 pm on a Wednesday. The counter person was cordial, gave me the run down of all of the flavors. I select two and was told he did not have change for a $20. So he sent a guy he was chatting with out to get change. More customers came in, and in the midst, change guy returns. Who do you think got taken care of first. Yes of course the person at the counter buying 4 slices to my two, despite her recent entrance and order. I smiled, was given my cake and change. I bid them both adieu as I skipped out into the rain. Got home ate half my dinner because it was cake time. My bf said the strawberry banana was really good, and I declined a taste. My red velvet was okay, a little sweeter than I'm accustomed to, and I noticed a strange discoloration in the center layer. It was hard as a brick! So I took a swig of my "upgraded coffee", shrugged it off and ate around it. Yeah it was a good 1/4 - 1/3 of my $6 slice, but I refuse to flip out, my vacation had been bad enough. Will I go back, I don't know.

    Strawberry Blonde Cake ($6)

    Wow this is some good cake. The brand new bakery will be serving cupcakes and cookies too (all named after dead rappers and $2), but all they had at their grand opening was a few varieties of cake. We tried the Red Velvet and the Strawberry Blonde ($6 a slice) and they were incredible. The cake itself is super moist and the frosting is nice and sweet but not too overpowering. This is a great spot to fulfill your sweet tooth. I'll definitely be back once those cookies are available.

    I found this place after a friend had mentioned it on her Facebook. She said the cake was really good and not too sweet, which I was intrigued by because I find some cakes to be too sweet. I stopped by not long after the FB post, and bought 5 slices ($6 each slice). I got the strawberry blonde (this version had both vanilla and chocolate cake in it), buttercrunch(I got 2 of these bc my friend mentioned it was her face), pineapple coconut, and cookies & cream. I bought these slices for my family to sample, it was not all for me. Lol. With that said, I sampled all and they were all pretty good, and moist and definitely not overly sweet like how some other cake places can be. Even though this was a trek for me, I would definitely be back to support small business but also I want to try any other flavors they offer. I wanted a chocolate slice but they didn't have it available when I stopped by. They also had red velvet, blue velvet and lemon, which I should've gotten bc for some reason it sounds good even though I'm more of a chocolate person. Oh well, next time!

    Personalized birthday cake for my dear friend. It was a total hit. Everyone loved it. So happy with this order!

    This weekend, I ordered a birthday cake from this bakery. Red velvet with buttercream frosting. It exceeded all my expectations. It was more beautiful and delicious than anything I had imagined. It even sparkled and tasted like HEAVEN. Moist perfection and deliciousness. Their attention to detail is unparalleled. I was so impressed. These cakes are pure QUALITY and the service here is AWESOME! The staff is so friendly and nice. The cake I purchased was a total hit at my friends birthday party. Everyone loved it and kept asking where it was from. Worth every penny. Great value!! From now on, I'm getting cakes here for EVERY occasion. I highly recommend CakeBoi Shop! 10/10, 2 thumbs way up, and five stars all the way!

    Vanilla Cake with Sprinkles!!!
    Aurelia J.

    This bakery has moved and is presently at 675 Nostrand Avenue. I was happy to find the store and meet the owner after seeing the report on the news of their move to this new address. Sadly enough the pandemic has affected many black owned businesses but CakeBoi is resilient and able to make a comeback. I was able to purchase a slice of Vanilla Cake with Sprinkles. Delicious! Their grand re-opening will be Saturday 7/25/20. Don't forget to get your slice!

    Dried-out cake. This is the second time I tried cake from his business and I was extremely disappointed each time.

    I have had the honor of not only tasting Samatha's delicious cakes, cake pops, and cookies at my…read morebaby shower, but also of working with her prior to her starting her own business. Samantha is professional, sweet, charming, and super talented. For my baby shower, Samantha created a beautiful spread of Dulce De leche cake, cake pops and adorably decorated cookies (rattles, onsies, champagne glasses) for my baby shower in late February. All of which fit perfectly in the theme of twinkle twinkle little star mixed with she's about to pop theme. Through out the event guests asked me who made the cookies, cake, and cake pops because they were so good. The decoration was classy, elegant, and festive. In just one bite you can tell her ingredients are top notch. The cake and cake pops were unbelievably moist and had the perfect balance of sweetness. Yes, it's months later and I'm writing this review now. Motherhood has rushed over me like a stormy wave of physical and emotional intensity that has changed my life forever, but those cake pops and cake still float through my mind as a pleasantly sweet memory that I still smile to myself about.

    I am so happy with Samantha's work. I found Samantha on yelp and was obsessed with how beautiful…read moreher work was. I contacted her about 2 weeks before my event and thought I would not be able to book her due to short notice. Samantha is the definition of professionalism. She contacted me via phone after my email and we went over what I wanted. She allowed me to make changes and did not appear money hungry. It was so easy working with her and I will be recommending her to friends and family. When my cake was delivered, it was packaged beautifully. When I unboxed my cake, I was stunned. Her work was amazing. Booking Samantha for my daughter first birthday party was a great idea. Thank you so much! I felt so bad cutting into the cake but it was even more delicious to eat. I will be using you in the future. Your cakepops were also great!
