Cake with no layers, no frosting.

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.

The photo is showing a plain buttercream cake, I ordered a strawberry shortcake

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

Better view of size differences.

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.

I expect more flowers for an 8 year olds birthday cake

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.

OMG the best !! What a great experience from meeting Kim, cake tasting, delivery and presentation! Not only high review of quality of cake from us but also all the guest! Thanks sooo much for adding a sweet touch to our Best Day Ever!! Ps. Saving the top layer for a year wedding ritual didn't last a day! Way too good figure in a year we will just order another one

Kim! What's this about? This is not a two layer cake. This is one layer and HALF AN INCH of cake at the bottom?? Mom mom has made a more consistent and delicious cake, and she has a depth perception problem.

Instead of old rose color they did pink

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

a birthday cake for a 3 year old boy

Amazing "Cars" theme cake for my son's birthday party! He LOVED it and is still talking about it, days later. It was delicious, packaged well and ordering was simple. Everything a busy mom could hope for! We will be returning for more :)

Leaves are still droopy and pineapple as well as banner looks super sloppy.

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.

10 inch cake topper with a fondant mask!! Assorted flavored cupcakes on the tier.

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! ;)

All chocolate chips and no cannoli filling.

R Weinrich German Bakery - Donuts- the vanilla frosted donut was very good

My spouse and I tried all of our favorite staple items in a bakery. The very good pretzel tasted…read moredifferent from American pretzels. I would say if you stop into this place, try a pretzel. I like tradition American pretzels better. The donuts were good- much better than a national donut chain. But, some of the groceries, particularly Giant and the Acme have vanilla cream donuts that would compare to these donuts. The vanilla frosted donut had a different cake flavor/consistency than most bakeries. I would recommend this donut to try. The pies did not come in individual slices- so I did not try the pie. My husband is a butter cookie fan at other bakery. He said they were too buttery. The bakery was clean, and the woman behind the counter was really quite helpful checking on an ingredient for us.

What a charming little bakery! My girlfriend & I were next door at the Running Store, and we just…read morehappened to see the bakery next door so we decided to step inside. There was a lady working, and I am *assuming* it was her store. The young staff persons kept asking her questions about how to ring people up, etc., so it felt like it was her store. She and the younger staff were really kind! I purchased a cheesecake and some cookies. Everything was excellent! They also had some seasonal cookies like St. Patrick's Day, and a king cake for Mardi Gras. Everything was tasty, the staff was friendly, and the prices were decent! There was not a huge selection of goods, and this could have been because of the time of day I was there, but I'd like to go in and see the cases more filled. I'll definitely be back!
