CELIAC COMMUNITY NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT CAKES BY KIM I can't say enough about Cakes by Kim! My daughter has celiacs and we are always so apprehensive when ordering foods from other places. Last year, I ordered her graduation cake from here and kept my fingers crossed - it was so delicious! No one could believe it was gluten free! And she had zero GI issues. Fast forward a year later to her birthday, and she asked me for a cake. Why shop around when I already know where the best is?? I drove an hour round trip to get my daughter a bakery cake because it's that good! Kim is also great at communicating. When I questioned ordering the chocolate shavings- Kim snapped a picture of the ingredients and sent it over. (made in a Facilty that processes wheat) - Kim had no problem adjusting the order. The staff takes great care for food allergies and the taste of the cake does not suffer for it. So delicious!!!! IFYKYK - finding places you can trust to handle and deliver quality, delicious. gluten free food is no easy task.... No more looking, Cakes by Kim is the place to go for your Gluten Free bakery cake! read more

This is a fantastic bakery. the cakes are light and moist and the buttercream frosting is to die for. I appreciate the online order form. I think anyone who is uncertain about what they are ordering or hasn't ordered before should pick up the phone and call the bakery. I've always had excellent interaction with the shop and l've been telling all my friends that this is THE bakery to use. I'm a huge fan and honestly, I'm not always easy to please. read more

So I will start with the positive first Aniah was amazing! She was very patient because I was not really sure what I was looking for. But she walked me through the whole process step by step with out feeling like I was rushed. I was throwing my daughter a tea party so we got a lot of different pastries (lemon bar was my favorite) and a heart shape cake. All the pastries were amazing. Now when it came to the cake... the filling was very watery (yes I did keep it in the fridge then served immediately) and the bottom of the second layer was dry. All around the cake just was not good and no one really enjoyed it. So I would definitely get the pastry again but as far as the cake it would be a no for me. Oh and the wording was messy but the checkout lady agreed and got someone to fix it. read more

My husband and I visited Cakes by Kim as an option for our wedding cake. Our venue recommended this place so we decided to try it out. We met with Kim herself to try a lot of options, and we were impressed with all of them! Our venue gave us a free cake along with our deposits, but only if we got the most generic kind of wedding cake. My husband and I were so impressed with all of the options that it was hard for us to stick with the generic option, but Kim told us she was so happy for us that she was not going to charge us! We are so thankful for Kim and cannot wait to return soon! read more

Cakes by Kim - This was our wedding cake (the Legos did not come with the cake)! - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

First time ordering from Cakes by Kim. Followed instructions online to order a red velvet cake. It showed a picture of a cake with layers, so I assumed I was getting a cake with cream cheese frosting between at least 2 layers. I declined fruit filling and other filling options (assuming I was getting frosting). I drove from Middletown to Newport for my cake. Looked at it before leaving the store and came home. Imagine my surprise when I cut the cake later that day and discovered NO layers with frosting. I contacted the bakery and was basically told that it was my responsibility to tell them I wanted frosting between layers, even though their online does not provide that option and their picture shows a cake with layers and frosting. Cake was moist, but For the price. I won't be patronizing this bakery again. read more

We ordered a graduation cake from Kim and we were throughly delighted with the cake. We requested a lemon flavored cake with yellow frosting and the script in blue and decorated with flowers. She also added embellishments of a mini diploma and some mini "congratulations " signs. The cake was moist and flavorful. Everyone raved about the look and taste of the cake. read more

I ordered a strawberry shortcake, I call they tell me send a picture, their was one slice left ‍ What I received was not a strawberry shortcake, it was a plain butter cream cake, the lady asked for picture and claimed this is indeed a strawberry shortcake where????? I opened the slice up no strawberry in sight, I would have respected them more if they would have just said sorry it was a mistake but instead this lady Kim insinuating I am a liar and I don't respect that so on that point I will be making a claim because it's the principal of the matter I really did like their establishment but you have definitely lost a customer and I definitely DONOT AND WOULD NOT recommend THIS ESTABLISHMENT TO anyone they have no morals what SO ever read more

We purchased 18 gluten free cupcakes for our sons 19th birthday. We were super excited as we aren't typically able to get him bakery items. They did a great job flavor wise. Some of the better GF items we've had. My only issue was the consistency of the final product in presentation. Some of the cupcakes were giant and crowned nicely and others didn't make the top of the liner. This should not happen when the cups are properly filled. I have attached some pictures for reference. This and the fact that there were way to many people in the shop picking up to socially distance property is why they received 4 stars. A little attention to detail and control over the store flow would easily garner 5 stars. Thank You. read more

We've been ordering at least two birthday cakes a year for many years at Cakes by Kim. I gave 4 stars only for consistency. Sometimes the frosting is nearly as thick as the cake layers. I live the buttercream frosting, but geez, that's super rich and a heart attack waiting to happen. We hit the jackpot this year with a funfetti cake (skip the funfetti - it was all clumped together in one spot), with white chocolate mousse filling (fabulous) and buttercream frosting (there was an abundance). All in all, the flavors really worked well. When it was gone, we found ourselves wanting more. See you in February! read more

I have ordered 3 cakes here. They are expensive and very pretty. Twice, they did not write what they were supposed to on the cakes. Twice, they were supposed to include icing flowers. The icing is good and I wanted a lot of it. That did not happen. the third cake I ordered white chocolate mousse filling, and they recommended, that pudding would go well with it. The pudding over powered the taste of the white chocolate, which was actually good. That cake was also burned on the bottom. It wasn't burned black, but it was very dark and two of my guests commented that. I am going to return as a customer to Cannon's cakes, they are a bit further away, but the cake is far better tasting, and their icing is better also. read more

My fiancé and I are are on a quest to find the best cake in our area, and this is DEFINITELY not it. I've heard good things about Cakes by Kim in the past, so we set out pretty excited. We got a variety of cupcakes to try so we could see what flavors we liked. 1. The chocolate with vanilla buttercream was good! The buttercream was a little thin, but it was overall still pretty good. 2. The marbled cupcakes were BURNT. Like, honest to goodness charred on the bottom. We had to cup the bottoms off just to try the top part. Disgusting. 3. The vanilla with vanilla buttercream, the strawberry with vanilla buttercream, and the bananas foster cupcakes were so dry. I'm not sure if they just sell old products in display case or what, but I could not recommend this place less. Super disappointed, as the designs and array online look fantastic. read more

Second time they messed up my brother's birthday cake. I won't be back. I asked for a banana rum cake. I specifically asked the the bananas not be sliced but be mashed as an between filling-they were sliced. I was sent home with the cake in this packaging. I had to travel with the cake exposed in my car for the 30 minute ride home. If I had known the did have a box bigg enough I could have brought something. They didn't even put any plastic wrap over it or anything. read more

With a price of $58 it's gross. 8/7/20 The picture on their web the flower supposed to be old rose but they gave me pink. I was hoping for the flavor but it's the worst we ever had. We could even hardly finish just a slice. Per my 4 teens kids said, it's gross. First time customer with worst cake. It's sad coz it was our Silver Wedding Anniversary with the worst and gross cake we ever had read more

Cakes by Kim - a birthday cake for a 3 year old boy - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

A family member ordered our wedding cake, which was supposed to have an amaretto mousse filling. No one we asked at the wedding dinner could taste any amaretto. The family member who ordered the cake called Cakes by Kim to discuss the problem, and the person there only insisted that they could not possibly have made such an error. (I guess they're not human there.) So one star off for the undetectable flavor and three stars off for the (in our opinion) terrible customer service. read more

I contacted Kim about doing a two tiered cake for my daughter's first birthday. I had a vision of what I wanted and sent several pictures and detailed in words what I wanted. The theme was a pineapple theme. I was really excited because I saw pictures of her work and a lot of it looked really great! The price she quoted me was a little on the expensive side but I was willing to pay for it. The morning I went to go pick it up, disappointed was an understatement. The cake as a whole looked extremely sloppy and it looked like it was either made in a rush or an amateur put it together. Not at all of what I would've expected from a professional baker. The leaves of the pineapple were drooping and one of the leaves were cracked. When I told the girl who brought the cake, she took it to the back and I could see that they were trying to fix it. When she brought it back out, their solution was to stick a bunch of dowels in the back to make the leaves stick up. I was unhappy with how it looked and asked to speak to Kim. I was told that she had cake tastings all day and would not be able to speak to me. I got there at 9am and was told to return at 1:45pm even though they close at 2pm on Saturdays. I still had a lot to do to prepare for the party as well as go to work, but fine, so be it. When I came back, they added more leaves at the top to make it less droopy, but in the end, I still felt that it looked way too sloppy and did not feel like it was worth the price that I was quoted. I talked to Kim and expressed my frustrations. She was not rude at all, which was what I was somewhat expecting based off the other reviews and her explanation was that it was edible art and the pictures that I sent her were most likely photoshopped. She said that she also put time and money into the cake, which I understood, however I told her that since I was not taking the cake, it would not be right for her to keep my half of the deposit. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because she did refund me. I was also hesitant to write a review because of this reason, however I was still inconvenienced because I did not have a cake for the party and ended up baking it myself. I also wanted to write the review so that others are informed that you may not get what you expect. My mother wanted my father to go pick up the cake for me to save myself on time but luckily I didn't because he would've just paid up the cake regardless of how it looked. I probably would have had a hard time getting my money back if that was the case. read more

This place is awesome! If you have a creative idea and dare to want a different cake then you must go to Cakes by Kim. Kim did my daughter's "Mystique Masquerade" (16th) last October. We set up a consult and Kim sketch my daughters cake by the end of the appointment. This picky teen and her friends was overjoyed!! And the flavor of these cakes are delicious. She is truly a talent, kind and yet very professional. I will NEVER buy a occasion cake/cupcake from anywhere else. If you want a traditional cake trust me she can do that in her sleep! ;) read more

Extremely upset to write this because I have been a customer for several years. My mom placed an order for my 30th birthday cake weeks in advance and the day of they tell her they ran out of cannoli filling for it. How do you run out of filling when the cake was ordered in advance? So therefore the filling was barely there. That's embarrassing and totally unacceptable. We have been ordering since our wedding because her cakes are the best, now they are not. I have no clue if someone else is running it or employees have left but this would not have happened the past couple years. read more

My niece had her 1st birthday back in March...we got a cake from here at the last minute. It was a bit expensive, and wasn't the best looking cake but the taste of this cake still has me talking about it. It was out of this world! I'm Italian, we are very critical of our desserts, haha, they did a great job. I'll be recommending them for sure! My birthday is in December...guess where I'm going??.. read more

My sister gets custom cupcakes here for all special occasions. This year was a BBQ theme for my brother in law's birthday - kabobs, steak, hot dogs, burgers... all on cupcakes. And nut free for her nephew who is allergic. Icing is the perfect level of sweetness. And overall super yummy! And the photos speak for themselves! read more

Stopped by and got 3 cupcakes. They are pretty good cupcakes - would say they are not as moist as I would like. If you leave the cupcakes out for 30 minutes just to let the cream soften then they are much better. Customer service was great. Explained every flavor thoroughly and went over their cake service as well. read more

I contacted cakes by Kim to make a unique sushi themed cake for my sister's birthday. They responded to my request within 24 hours.

It not only looked great, but was delicious! The cake was ready on time as promised. read more

Wrong cash app. I apologize for my oversight. I have not done business with this company.

My cousin and her husband got their wedding cake from here. It was a cute square two tier cake that had these lines pressed in it with little dots of icing wherever two lines met. (think diamond pattern). Apparently the store either offered them a 3 tier cake ( in which they save the top for their 1st anniversary) or a 2 tier cake with a voucher to come back on their 1st anniversary and get a cute fresh baked tiny cake. They took the 2nd option. They used some roses from my cousin's florist to decorate the cake with white pedals. Pretty. I believe the flavor I tried was a Jamaican rum flavor but to be honest I was too drunk to remember the taste. read more

Cakes by Kim has the most delicious and beautifully decorated cakes. She made my wedding cake and the guests raved about it. There was not a piece left. When my family decided to do a decade birthday party I said I'd get the cake. Well cakes by Kim brought my cake idea to life. The girls listened to my ideas and wrote everything down-they were patient as I had a lot of different items I was looking for in the cakes. I received three delicious cakes and stunning decorations. I hope you can see pictures I've attached. My 3 year old nephew kept going back looking at them He was mesmerized by the game pieces. It was pure joy! The taste was exactly what I hoped for. I had more cake than needed but you wouldn't know it based on the leftover. Everyone tried all 3 cakes!! I will always return to get my cakes here. read more

My wife and I used cakes by Kim for our wedding. The cake turned out beautiful and everyone was raving about how delicious it was including those who are cake snobs!

She did not really need a recommendation from us to our friends and family because they were asking us who made the cake.....LOL! read more

After my daughter had her first bite of a "Cake by Kim" it became a must have for her birthday last week. Even though I ordered double what I needed, her friends devoured all but a small piece that I brought home. Now that my husband has tasted it, I am ordering one for his birthday next week. Warning...once you try her treats, there is no going back to homemade/store bought. There is only one place to get the best tasting cake ever - Cakes by Kim!! read more

This is my go to spot for every special occasion cake. The buttercream is perfect and not cloyingly sweet (or gritty or greasy like some other bakeries) and fillings come standard with price, although I believe if you want more than 2 fillings there is an extra fee. When you order any fresh or preserved fruit filling, there is also a layer of custard-like pastry cream included that takes the cake seriously to the next level. The chocolate moose filling is also exceptional. Almost every time I have been to any event serving these cakes, the cake is gone by the end. Even kids love the fillings that typically only adults might appreciate more. The prices are definitely more than supermarket bakeries but it is well worth it. Absolutely delicious and your guests will rave about it! read more

Ordered cake for my Anniversary from Cakes by Kim, and was very disappointed.. Cake itself was moist, but buttercream tasted like pure lard . Cake assembly was just thrown together. When you cut the cake, you could see where it was missing cake and filled with icing. Very disappointed!! Not to mention, you know it's bad when kids wont eat it and tell you, next time go to Bj's. read more

I ordered 4 dozen cupcakes for our daughters bridal shower. One dozen was supposed to be Vegan which we paid for. When they arrived, the vegan cupcakes were not marked and there was no indication or way to determine which was which. So none of my vegetarian or vegan guests ate the cupcakes. When I called Cakes by Kim, the response I received was... Thank you for bringing that to our attention. The end. I'm disappointed in this company, this was not the first issue with them, but a failed second chance. As with any family event, the day was important to our family and they blew the opportunity to redeem themselves. I can't patron a business that doesn't provide what we ordered, charged me extra for something I'm not sure we received, and offered no restitution. read more

Cake tasted divine, but design was not at all what I asked for. The cake was tilting and leaning to one side. My cake topper actually fell off of it... I had hand delivered fake flowers to the bakery so that they could be placed on my cake. My flowers were not put onto the cake, when I paid for that extra design detail. I was very disappointed. read more

We used cakes by Kim for our wedding. We had a cupcake tower with a small cake on top for cutting. It looked beautiful. Our guests raves about how amazing the cupcakes were! We had 5 different types of cupcakes, and 6 months later we are still eating them (the extras kept pretty well in the freezer!) The tasting was fun and delicious, and the entire process was easy and stress free! We will definitely be using Cakes by Kim for future celebrations! read more

Hello I had a small errand to run that was nearby early in the morning and noticed Kim's sign that said open and coffee. I had a pleasure meeting the sweetest person even though I was not there to buy cake. Her kindness was heartfelt and genuine. These are the type of people that you want to do business with. If you need a cake and I got to imagine a pie, muffins, croissants, or any other type of baked good Give Kim a call. read more
