YES! Must stop in! Service was terrific! We called in and ordered 12 chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting for a birthday party and they look like exactly like the vintage "Hostess" cupcakes we know and love. They taste AMAZING! Well worth the money. Beautiful cupcakes and cakes available in store too. read more

Truly the best! I got one of their pre made cakes in their fridge for a last minute birthday last year. It was strawberry and so delicious! When my cousin got engaged-- I reached out to get a custom cake. It was more than my budget allowed for at that time so I went and got a custom cake elsewhere. It was terrible and I promised myself that I'd never do that again. A custom cake from here is WORTH the money. I just had my mom's 65th birthday party and they made the most fabulous Lily Pulitzer inspired cake. When ordering the cake-- they were so easy to work with. I went into the store and explained the design I had in my head. I also had a photo of the invitation as inspiration. I was absolutely blown away when I picked it up. It was all buttercream icing with strawberry cake. The cake was moist and people at the party couldn't stop talking about the showstopper and were asked for seconds. We had 22 people at the party and got the bigger size cake (10 inch I think?). It was massive and I think we could've gone with the smaller size. The party didn't even make a dent in it, but that just meant left overs for us! 10/10 recommend Ron's. read more

One word: Incredible!! I called a bit last minute requesting an Airstream and camping themed cake for my husbands birthday. I sent over a picture of the airstream and a couple of ideas with mountains on the side of the cake. I had no idea what I'd be getting but trusted that they know what they were doing and wow was I blown away! The cake exceeded my expectations and was a true work of art!! My husband was thrilled! I went with the Sarasota sunset flavor (orange vanilla cake with pineapple layered in) and it was absolutely delicious and super fresh! Highly recommend. What a memory we will have forever! Even our neighbors said it was the coolest cake they've ever seen! Thanks Ron and Team!! Great job!! read more

Lived in the area for six years. Drive by Cakes by Ron on the daily. Finally dipped in today and picked up a sampling of cupcakes. Why did we wait so long?!?! Now I'm going to have to eat twice as many to make up for lost time. Do yourself a favor, don't drive by, stop in and buy some. Piece of advice - make sure to buy enough for everyone or else fists may fly. These little delectables could break up families, end friendships, and tear true love apart. Also I may be on a sugar high. read more

Cakes by Ron - Custom Key Lime wedding cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Custom ordered cupcakes for my Mom's 80th birthday. I was given the impression when I ordered the cupcakes they were going to be freshly made the same day. Upon picking the order up, they had been frozen. No one informed me of this. I called and they said they were made yesterday and frozen so they would reman fresh. Just disappointed and hoping they will be thawed before the party starts later today. read more

Unbelievable cake! I described what we needed and they completely got it. Stunning and delicious!! Plus they delivered to a restaurant so it was a surprise for my brother in law. Highly recommend! read more

Friendly service, cake looked great and fit the specifications. I'm from New Jersey, so I can't offer an informed price comparison relative to their competition here, but relative to the tri-state area of NJ their prices are fantastic. The clincher? Not to sound like an out of state snob who's being a jerk and doing so based on limited experience here, but so far in a wee week in the Sarasota and Orlando areas, the food just doesn't compare to the NY/NJ area - horrible pizza, mediocre sushi, decent but not amazing steak, even the fast food seems somehow not as good. But the taste of this cake? It's not only on par, but I'd put it on the level of among my favorites in the NY/NJ area. Great looking great tasting cake, friendly service, and again with the disclaimer that we're not very familiar with local prices, I can at least say that it was at a price that we found very gentle for that kind of cake. "So why 4 instead of 5 stars?", you say? I'm glad you asked. I have two reservations, one bigger than the other. The bigger one, no pun intended, is that they had to hillbilly the box with paper because they didn't have a box big enough to close the top of it for the size of the cake. Now... it was a layer cake, but not huge. They certainly had much bigger cakes on display right there in their store. From my perspective, that was unprofessional to not be equipped with boxes to properly fit the size of the cakes they sell that one person can easily carry and transport. Quite frankly if I didn't have someone with me to hold the cake, I would've been significantly more uncomfortable driving that cake back even at a cautious speed without it being properly boxed. Second, they had me sign some sort of agreement/approval before taking the cake and leaving the store. I've purchased cakes before, granted once again not here in Florida, so maybe things are done differently here and that is normal. For me it was not, and I found it very odd. I have to say that while thankfully I got the cake back safely, and as I mentioned it was a beautiful and delicious cake, had I not prepaid for the cake and also simply didn't have the time to explore other options, I honestly might have walked out. You can't box it properly and you're making me sign something like that? No, I pay for the cake, you give it to me properly closed in a box that fits, I leave, we're all happy. So the ordering of the cake and the quality of the cake itself earned this place 4 stars despite, would've easily been 5 stars without the box issues and odd signing of some sort of approval/agreement, but I highly recommend to the business that they make sure that they stock proper sized boxes any cake they sell in a size that one person can easily carry, and maybe reconsider making people sign off on leaving with the cake that they already paid for anyway. read more

Update: Because of all of the great reviews I bought some cupcakes for my birthday this year and they tasted really stale and pasty. Definitely like they had been sitting in the case for atleast a week. I noticed they only had like 5 flavors offered in the case so I was enthusiastic that they would be worth the money I spent on them. They tasted just like the storefront smelled. I don't know why I keep hoping for them to be as moist and delicious as they used to be. Maybe if we didn't have anything to compare the quality to-from many years ago-we might think they were good but even my 7 year old had to put his in the microwave to make his moist enough to enjoy even a little. I will be going to Sarasota Bakehouse or A Slice of Heaven from now on. read more

They are some of the cutest cupcakes ever! Had them done on time even with a hurricane! Highly recommend!!

Great place. Great staff and owner. Terrific cupcakes. Come on Wednesday for $2 cupcakes. Nothing more to say really. Everything tastes great. I'm a fan for sure. read more

Best cupcakes around. What makes these stand out among the rest is that they are not overly sickening sweet, they are perfectly sweetened and the cake is incredibly moist without being dense. Frosting is also fluffy great complimentary flavors to the cake. Many have filling in the middle. Tried 9 different ones and all were better than the next. A few of my favorites include: - rocky road (the hostess cupcake with nuts and marshmallows on top) -triple chocolate: choc cake with choc buttercream and hardened dark choc on top -lemon: lemon flavored cake with light frosting with lemon custard filling Other flavors include: birthday cake, red velvet, choc chip, boston cream, peanut butter, salted caramel The cupcakes are generously sized and on Wednesday's there is the best deal ever: $2 cupcakes! read more

I ordered a cake here because we were having a girls weekend and even though it got canceled I decided to keep the cake order. I almost canceled and they were super accommodating. This is a super cute place and I came across them when I was planning my wedding too and I can see why they are popular. I loved that they also had cupcakes and cookies plus cake slices ready to go. I got a chocolate cake for my husband and he liked that the cake was rich and moist. My friend two some cookies to go as well and I bought a strawberry cookie to go which was super moist. The cake, we got a lemon cake with raspberry filling. We had it after our dinner at a restaurant and it was soooooooooooooooooo tasty. The flavors were amazing and the cake was delicious. Plus they made it look super cute with the ombre style and the raspberries on top. I was super happy to work with them. If you are in the Sarasota area and need a cake, this is the place to hit up. read more

WOW! I stopped in for a sweet treat after work one day and was shockingly surprised with the different variety of options. From gourmet cupcakes to wedding cakes along with a few other small options! I decided on the lemon raspberry because it was a seasonal choice. The cake was moist and quite delicious, filled with a raspberry center, and swirled cream on top! Highly recommend! Enjoy :) read more

I have had several of their cupcakes recently. All of the flavors are great and so fresh!

Cakes by Ron is the best! The team there was wonderful to work with - so easy and responsive. The cake itself was beautiful and delicious! Everyone at our party wanted to know where it was from and raved about it. I had sent a couple of inspiration photos and the cake they delivered was even more beautiful then I was expecting. Would highly recommend!! read more

Very good cupcake at a reasonable price ($4 is pretty much the max I'd go though). The flavors are just creative enough, and the cake and frosting were well done. If you're looking for an ultra-rich dessert, this isn't quite it, but these lighter-style cupcakes get the job done. read more

Went to Cakes by Ron. Heard the cakes are great. Went to buy a sweet. Was a little disappointed. Thought there would be more selections besides just cupcakes. Got the impression that this is really just a company that bakes cakes. The cupcakes were OK. Just OK. But not what I went for. I think they should sell slices of the cakes they bake. Wow that would be nice. That would definitely let us taste the cakes and perhaps order some for our celebrations. read more

These cupcakes are delicious! Highly recommend. The cakes on display all look out of this world, too. Hopefully I can try one someday!

I was excited that my birthday cake was going to be from here. My husband was told by staff over the phone that they had a chocolate cake there and didn't have time to make a cake for my birthday. So he took the cake that they claimed was chocolate but it was far from chocolate. It was a dried out whitish cake with some kind of bits of brown something in the cake that did not taste like chocolate and had hard oily thick icing. The icing In between the layers had to be 1/2 inch thick and on top was a minimum of 1-2 inches thick. My husband also bought a few cupcakes that were in the store but they also were not fresh and were very dry. I guess if you order a custom cake, maybe it would be good, but beware of buying a cake already made. read more

Thank you so much for our wedding cake, it taste AMAZINGGGG and looked beautiful. I couldn't be more happier especially coming from Georgia and never having luck with cake, glad I took a leap of faith you all. But I just want to say thank you again ! read more

Holy Cow!! "The Mood Swinger!" my new name for cupcakes! I have died and gone to heaven! After eating a Cannoli cupcake followed by a Bavarian Cream cupcake I was lost in a different sweet world! Heaven? Could be. Definitely in a super sugar HIGH! Now this will be crazy for me to say.. well because I'm an Italian guy... But pardon me for using the expression "these cupcake explosions, may be better than sex" or shall I say very close to it! ~ who said that???? I dare you to try one or two of these cupcakes and tell me that you rather have a five minute plateau rather than a 15 bite cupcake sugar high! There's certainly a must see for their variety of cakes - an A+ baker for wedding cakes!!! read more

This was my first visit. The cakes are amazing. The bake them fresh daily. I had the pecan pie cupcake and it was delicious.

They make some of the best cupcakes in town. Ordered about 30, five different flavors, all spectacular.

I have bought 2 cakes from Ron. One was a $300.00 wedding cake. It looked great but the cake was horrible. Could not eat it. They gave us another cake. Same thing. I then tried to order 12 cupcakes and wanted to pick them up in 10 days. I was told that they were too busy and could not make 12 CUPCAKES in 10 days. They are living off Dad's reputation and it is not working out so well. Will take my business somewhere else. read more

I ordered a 70th birthday cake from Cakes by Ron without having tried their products or visiting the shop. I had a few ideas but not a full design in mind and only contacted them less than 2 weeks before I needed the cake. Due to Covid-19, this cake was going to be smaller for only a few people, but I still wanted it to be special and have an impact. I called and talked through some ideas with the shop, leaving much of the design up to their discretion and trusting that they would make it beautiful. They definitely delivered an impressive cake that really delighted us all. They incorporated my ideas into a cohesive design. The cake itself was moist, did not taste artificial and the buttercream was delicious. When I came to the shop for pickup, the young man who assisted me was very courteous and attentive. He made the sure the box was set and taped so that we could transport the cake without smudging the frosting or damaging the sugar flowers and answered all my questions about caring for the cake. I was impressed by this team and happy that I gave them a try. I'd recommend Cakes by Ron for great service and execution and delicious cakes! read more
