Elegant, white and gold, cake! Beautiful.

This cake was even more beautiful standing next to it. The cake was all set up before I went in for room reveal. I loved doing the cake tasting and choosing the flavors for each tier. Thank you, Cakes by Gina, for great communication!

I supplied them with the flowers and they placed it on each layer just how I wanted it to be!

I got my wedding cake done from Gina's and honestly I'm so happy. My cake is the main thing I cared about and not only was it the most delicious cake ever, it was absolutely beautiful. Going to a cake testing at Gina's is a dream. They treat you like royalty. You go in, and check off the flavors you want to try, and they bring you huge slices of each flavor. They bring creams and fillings as well so you can get the whole experience. I have never tasted such delicious cake in my life. Their chocolate turtle is the best flavor ever!!!! Now I know where I would get cakes made for special occasions- it's well worth the price, service is great, and you will be soooo satisfied! The process of ordering was a breeze, and their customer service is impeccable

Cake at Wedding
Meryam A.

Not sure how it happened, but in all the wedding chaos I realized one month out that we didn't have a cake. You can imagine how freaked out I was. I called Gina and she was kind enough to squeeze us in in such short notice. Our entire experience with her has been nothing short of incredible. During our cake tasting, everything was exquisite and absolutely delicious. They have so many options and combinations that you can have so there's something for everyone. on top of all of that, there was not a single slice of cake that I did not love, which made choosing our wedding cake so hard. After discussing the design we wanted for a wedding, we put our faith in Gina, which I am so glad we did. The cake came out exactly as we had envisioned, and not just that but I had so many guest raved about how delicious it was. I am so glad we went with Gina and if you are looking for the perfect cake for your occasion I can't recommend her enough.

Gina and her team nailed it! We ordered the cake being long distance planning my friend's 40th bday and it was perfect just like the picture. Upon arrival we were greeted at the door by Gina, and seated by a gentleman working there to be seated. While waiting he offered us drinks/coffee. I noticed couples there doing cake testing and asked if there was a way to taste while we wait. The young man was so friendly and attended to our ask. Not only the cake was beautiful but tasted good, very pleased. It was a surprise cake for our dinner and she loved it. If I lived in the area Gina would be my go to.

Chanel Bday Cakes!

Hi, if you are looking for creativity beyond your imagination and the favors to match "Cakes by Gina" is the place to go. I worked with ISIS sales rep and expressed the design and vision I was looking for my daughter and son's Big 18th and 16th bday party. She added to my vision and she delivered master pieces. She was professional and attentive to every detail. When they delivered the Chanel and Nike "Jordan's shoe box Cakes, everyone was amazed and could not believe these were cakes. They were just that beautiful. THEY WERE PERFECT!!!! THEY HAD FAVOR, Moist and you could smell the sweetness. Both were 3 tiered cakes. I tell you the hardest thing was cutting of the cakes because we did not want to destroy the creations. My kids wanted to keep them as memories. Cakes by Gina is not your average cake design shop it is were you go to get Celebrity Style Creations. The nailed the Chanel and Nike brand 1000%! Thanks to Gina, ISIS, and all the cake designers!

Great service! Great Cake! Gina's cakes are always good. I used them for my anniversary party and my daughters sweet 16 they are worth every buck!

Great cake tasting experience for our wedding. All the cakes are beyond beautiful, and taste amazing. I love the bridal white cake. Staff is extremely nice.

Cake, pastel

I was introduced to this place during a tag along for a cake tasting for a quince. The cake was mmmmm and the customer service is always great. Now, this is the go to place for quinces, regular birthdays and even family holiday parties. I recently ordered a Dia de los Muertos themed cake for my daughter who wanted to have a theme that incorporated our Mexican side. We were not disappointed! See pics... Did it taste good? Duh! Were all my encounters with people who worked here beyond attentive, upbeat & timely? Of course!

The best cakes in town!!! Many flavors, unique designs, spectacular creativity! They are very accommodating to every occasion. Mrs Gina and her team tend to every customer with impeccable attention. The bakery environment makes you fell like you're in candy land!! The cake flavors have an exquisite taste. These are some of ours. Simply amazing work of art!

After a successful wedding with only a few bumps I wanted to back and thank all of the vendors who helped make the day go by smoothly. Cake tasting is one of those things if everything goes well (fingers crossed), you only get to do ONCE in your life. I mean when else can you call up places and set up appointments for you to get FREE cake?! The team at Cakes by Gina was one of the few vendors that had the styrofoam cake layers. It seems so simple but it goes a long ways to visualize how big your cake will be when stacked up. They also, have pages upon pages of past cakes they have designed so you can pick what you want. Their staff actually takes the time to draw you a representation of what they will create and the results are on point! Once, we decided on how big and the design, the most important part, the cake taste and flavor! We had done some individual research and scheduled other vendors, but almost all of my friend's got their wedding cakes here so we waited to try them last. The location is a bit far out, and the strip center is not what you would expect, but the results are in that first bite. After tasting their amaretto we were sold! This is one of their signature flavors and it's so good! We had tasted a lot of other places' strawberry filling and knew we also wanted that. Their strawberry rendition was up there with the others so we knew which 2 flavors we wanted. And when I say that their cake is delicious, let me dare say it's up there with Whole Food's Berry Chantilly! And if anyone knows me, that is the Mt. Everest of cakes in my opinion. The day of the wedding, the cake arrived and it was simple beautiful, a piece of edible art! The cake was so darn delicious, that I actually ate leftover cake as one of my first meals together as a couple. If you want a cake vendor that will deliver on their promises as far as taste and execution this is your place!

Watermelon Sugar cake

The sales consultant was wonderful to work with. She took ideas from multiple pictures and came up with a beautiful design. This was requested on short notice so I was so happy that they could accommodate my request.

The CBG team is amazing!!! Frances is literally the best, most creative and professional business owner, Baker, decorator, et al.... The CBG team did a fantastic job for my little sister's baby shower. I sent Frances Pinterest ideas and our color scheme, her team turned it around with their own creativity and knocked it out of the park. I highly recommend the macaroons!! Also, not every bakery will take the time to let you come taste test, offer mimosas or champagne and let you try whatever treats you want for free. Best part....I called about 2 weeks before the event, Frances was all booked the Saturday before for tastings. She opened early just to fit us in. Incredible customer service. Don't go anywhere else! I live DT, their location seems far out (outside all the loops) BUT so worth it! Hidden gem I will continue to use!!

This place is a hidden gem. I looked them up in Yelp on a Wednesday and had an appointment by Friday. Surprise surprise they're right down the street from my house. Yesenia was very helpful. I already had my design she gave me a few samples to taste. Yum!! The Vanilla Buttercream is AWESOME!! loads of flavor and the strawberry cream filling was great as well. We were seated with water and cake samples. She sketched out the design for me and we went over all the details. The appointment last for 30 min. I love this place the prices are competitive Can't wait to pick up my cake.

Ask the Community - Cakes by Gina

Do you make champagne cakes or cupcakes?

I'm not sure, but they have a menu. I always choose the red velvet and the wedding cake which is phenomenal but if you check their menu, you can see their whole list.

Do they do number cakes?

I believe so

Koffeteria is an absolute hidden gem located in EaDo. I just found out about it from Instagram and…read morewas shocked that I've never heard about it prior, despite it being here for years! Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!

He's a chocolate lover so I decided on the Black Forest cake for him which is one of their specialties. I ordered the night before for noon pickup and paid online which was a pretty easy process. I was able to include instructions to write "Happy Birthday Dad!" When I stopped by on a Sunday at noon, thankfully parking wasn't too bad and I snagged a spot easily. Beware parking here at busier times - when I visited on a Saturday at 1:30pm it was mayhem. On entering, I saw an array of desserts and savory items. I decided to also pick up a savory kolache-type pastry (I never got the name of it) and the cake! The employee was quick and helpful - she located the cake, showed me the design and lettering to make sure it was ok before I left. The cake was a huge hit! We loved the light sponge cake with layers of whipped cream which were light and not too sweet. Then layer of cherries was lovely. The fruits on top were fresh and nicely arranged. The appearance was gorgeous as well, with chocolate shavings delicately arranged on the outside. We were not too impressed by the kolache. I was also able to try their pandan cake slice on another visit and loved the flavoring, lightness of the cake and the icing was very tasty. I will definitely be coming back here for more cakes in the not too distant future!

They have a select variety of pastries. We got their butter croissant, blueberry cream cheese danish, and spinach pastry. The croissant was one of the best I had in Houston! It is subtle, buttery, and flaky and does not go stale from staying out all day. I think these Houston croissants are the most similar to the ones I had in France! The blueberry cream cheese danish had a healthy and generous amount of blueberries. It was flaky, and the cream cheese flavor was not overwhelming or artificial. The spinach pastry was also flaky like the others and had a good spinach and cream flavor. I also had a bite of my friend's cinnamon kouign-amann, but it was not as good as the others and was a bit on the drier side. All the pastries I got were well balanced with subtle flavors and had golden, crispy flakes. I really enjoyed them, and although I have been here a handful of times, it's definitely a Houston croissant staple, which I will be visiting more often!

The scones and pastries are more hit-or-miss, sometimes fantastic and sometimes slightly overcooked and dry. This is a place to buy great bread.

So, what we decided to do was to place an order for the chocolate ganache tarts a couple of days later, but while we were here, we'd try their Amandine tart, Sachertorte, and an Eclaire. Wow, I just had a bite of each and....daaaang, they were so so soooo good!
