I have mixed feelings about this bakery. I called on Friday to put an order for Wednesday. I ordered an 8" choco flan with happy birthday on the top. Joe took my order, and everything went so smoothly. I need another cake--a simple cake with a hiking theme, preferably a tres leches. So on Sunday, I called and called since morning, and nobody answered. I decided to drive 40 minutes to their store and arrived at 4:45 pm. I read other reviews that stated how horrible they were during the closing time and was disappointed that the reviews appeared to be true. Here's what happened, I stepped in and was greeted by two ladies. The lady behind the counter asked me what I needed, and I said I wanted to order a cake. She said we are close, come back tomorrow. It was 4:45 pm, and their office hours were 5 pm. She said we need 30 mins for a cake consultation. I said I needed a simple cake, maybe a hiking theme. I showed her pictures from their Instagram, and she said, "NO, we don't do that here" to every photo I offered. "Fondant cake, no. We do buttercream". I showed buttercream decor, a simple ombre cake, and she said, "no, we don't do that." So I asked, what can you make? She answered nothing, and we are close. Oh, you can't imagine how pissed I was at that moment. But I stayed calm and said I had an order for Wednesday and asked if she could check that order. I am trying to put an order for a tres leches cake for Wednesday. She wrote the order down. Then I wondered if I could come tomorrow to order the custom cake, can I cancel the tres leches? She said no. (So many noes at this time). She said she wouldn't input my tres leches order and call tomorrow to order if I can't make it. It was fair enough, so I paid for the choco flan. The next day, on Monday, I can't make it to the store. So I called them. I ordered a tres leches, and the lady was so lovely. She asked if I wanted cream or fruits in the middle, what kind of decorations I wished to with the cake..ballon or rose or fruits. Keep in mind, the lady who was about to take my tres leches order yesterday didn't offer any options. To cut the story short, the cake came out beautiful. An ombre blue, like what I wanted. It tasted delicious too. It has a light flavor and is so juicy. You can eat more and more. The choco flan was good, too. In conclusion, the food was good, but I gave two stars for lousy customer service--such a traumatic rejection. read more

This review is based on wait time for custom cake/cupcakes & desserts. Weekday arrived at 3:26 to order a cake was asked for my name at the entrance no need to pull a number. Was told that the wait time based on 2 girls taking orders would be 30 minutes. Yes it seemed to long to be true. Like any believer I thought I'd wait because there's no way it would take that long. Well here I was 30 minutes, 40 minutes and shame on me 45 minute wait to order a cake! Ultimately plan on being here for over an hour. If it's cold bring a chair a blanket and coffee because it will take that long. To the owners... i don't know how you keep busy when you have customers wait so long. Yes as a Norwalk resident I am thankful there are other bakeries in the area for a next time. read more

Such a great neighborhood bakery that makes cakes, cookies, cupcakes and special novelties. I've been coming here for maybe 5 years or so and they're quality has always been consistent with good pricing. My favorite cake is the chocolate ganache cake- it appears like it would be too sweet and overbearing .. but it's just so fantastic, light, moist, creamy and chocolatey. Heads up, on weekends I've experienced lines especially of it's a holiday weekend, however the staff tries to keep it moving. My other personal faves: Black and white cake (sold by the slice or may pre order) Napoleon cake Butterflies Wedding pecan cookies Chocolate chip cookie Chocolate thumbprint cookies Candlelight is on the corner of the strip mall off of Studebaker and Rosecrans I think next to a bionicos shop and a discount grocery store. read more

Purchased it for company event, the cookie on bottom was hard to cut. Think vanilla cake option would have been better instrad of marble.

Cake came out perfect. I ordered Friday and picked up Saturday. For gender reveal cakes you can't get quotes over the phone unfortunately. So I did have to go into the bakery to get quotes and choose an option for gender cake. Service was fast and easy. When I picked up on Saturday it was very busy (2:40pm) Didn't take no more than 10-15 minutes to pick up. Loved the outcome of the cake. I bought the topper (Boy or Girl) on Amazon. Cake was about 6 inches width. It came out to $48 read more

This location it AMAZING! We called the right before closing on a Saturday the 17th to ask for a last minute 2 tier cake for my birthday on Sunday the 18th, after another baker canceled my cake at the last minute. My sister and I knew the chances of getting a custom cake this late where slim but she reached out to Candlelight anyway. They initially said that the cake I wanted may could not be done in less than 24 hours, but their customer service was above and beyond! She had us talk to the cake specialist and they made it happened! Cake was ready next day at 2pm! Thank you so much Candlelight Bakery!!! the cake was beautiful and the taste even better. Thanks to them my 40th birthday was not ruined . I'm ordering all my cakes from Candlelight from now on! read more

Our family has come here for any cakes we have needed for over 20yrs. I'm almost 33 and I can remember going into this bakery as a child and looking at all the pastries, cookies, cakes, etc. (It used to be a couple doors down and not nearly as upgraded as it is now). Through the years we've recommended Candlelight Bakery to everyone we know whenever anything about cake comes up. It is the lightest and fluffiest cake, and I absolutely love the whipped cream frosting. It's not too sweet AT ALL. My favorite filling is the whipped cream with strawberries. I also love the cakes they have premade with the fruit on top and sliced almonds on the side. I love that I'm able to go to Candlelight now as an adult for any time my husband, myself, or our kids need a cake. I've never left a review here before (I'm not a big review person), but the last cake we got, for a 2nd bday we had at our house recently, absolutely blew me away! It was SO beautiful, they did an incredible job!!! It looked so much better than the photo we gave them for reference, and really dressed up the whole party. And of course, it tasted absolutely delicious and had all our guests asking where we got it! (As per usual). It was white cake, whipped cream frosting, top tier filled with whipped cream, bottom tier filled with whipped cream and strawberries. read more

Back again - as I promised myself years ago, candlelight was my wedding cake. I ordered two half sheet Napoleon cakes for 100 people and they were a BIG HIT. My family was so worried since neither my family or my husband's were big dessert people and they were scared we'd have a lot left over (when I say worried, it was a huge understatement - my mom was frantic) However, the cake was a huge hit - every piece was gone and many people were sad they couldn't get seconds. It came highly requested from my friends to buy one for our Friendsgiving this month. I cannot get over how amazing EVERYTHING is at this bakery. Napoleon cake is perfection, Oreo is fudgey and the right amount of sweetness, tres leches is delicious, EVERYTHING. My ultimate favorite bakery read more

I picked up a milhojas cake for bday and omg I saw that chocolate ganache cake ... it was so good!

Our family favorites are the Napoleon cake with the crunch layers in the middle and the tres leche (3 milk) cake with a whip cream filling!! Soooo yummy!! read more

. . . Service is terrible, found new location for baked goods. Stay away, I know I will !!

I placed an order for the napoleon cake, it was delicious. The only con is even when placing an order in advance and having a set pick up time, you still have to wait to get called in order to pick up and check out. They do not write the message on your cake until you get there even with a deposit. read more

I specifically said and made sure it was written on the ticket, NO NUTS. When we sliced into it at the party it was chocked FULL of nuts. So unsafe and unprofessional. Was disappointed from the start, it looked like a toddler had written on the cake.Cake tasted OK, I could have accomplished the same with a cake mix. I won't be back. read more

Prices have skyrocketed $$$... 10inch around cake as pictured, with no cone $170. Are you kidding me!!!? ... How much with a cone!? No special filling just Chocolate cake was my request. Oh and the 8inch, tiny looking cake, $118. Wow, the 2inch difference $$. Mini cakes on display look deflated. Maybe they been sitting there for a while. read more

Best chocolate ganache cake EVER!! Let's just put it this way... I don't even like chocolate and it's got your girl in LOVE!! They used to have these guava pastries and they were soooo good but for some terrible reason idky someone thought it was a great idea to get rid of them... my heart breaks till this day! read more

Great cake and service. Made a pretty complicated cake with 24 hours notice. Not bad for a busy bakery, especially when most others wanted at least 48 hour notice. Seemed a bit expensive, but never ordered a cake like this before Cake -- 5 stars. Tasted great. Vanilla cake with horchata cream on the bottom and red velvet with strawberry filling on top. They actually mixed it up, but came out pretty tasty anyway. Red velvet was the stand out. Could not really taste the horchata, but strawberry was delicious. Service - 4 stars. Other than the slight mix up on fillings, having the cake ready in less than a day was pretty awesome. The My Little Pony decorations had to be added after because the bakery said it might tip over during transport. Made sense, but felt kinda weird, along with the mix up of fillings, which is why only 4 out of 5 stars. Why pay $30 for the decorations at the bakery when we have to add them ourselves? Fair or not? Not sure. Could have bought toys at Target for $10. Price - 3 stars. Cake was $145 and toys we added were $30 more for a total of $175. Is that a reasonable price? Seems like a lot for a cake, but it was nice and they did have it ready in 24 hours. read more

I bought a tiny Oreo cake for $25. I was excited to try this place because of the reviews and I really wasn't impressed.

This place has been our to go for bday cakes. But I just don't understand how an 8in chocolate ganache has been extremely overpriced. $44!!!! You must be on some good s**t. It's good but not for that price. You could go to any regular bakery and you won't be paying $44 for an 8in simple chocolate ganache cake. I would understand if the cake size was bigger but cmon dude!! That's ridiculous read more

I ordered a tres leches and chocolate cakes. They didn't disappoint me . If you can only order one, I would order the chocolate .

Their Napoleon cake is tops! I've had & it's on my top 3! Other bakery & breads is the best. Call ahead & be sure of their times open & what's available. This place ROCKS! read more

What a wonderful bakery. I was looking for a bakery that sells cakes that are not over sweetened like the kinds you would get at Costco or Walmart or many other American bakeries. I usually go to an asian bakery to find such cakes. But when I found this place on yelp, I decided to give it a try. I got the 8" vanilla cake and it was Divine. The cake was light and fluffy. The cream was also light and not excessively sweet. The fruits are deliciously filled the cake along with the toppings. Overall, I would recommend getting a cake from this bakery. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would! I ordered a gender reveal cake for my sister and specifically asked the lady taking my order if the cake was going to dyed on the inside. She mentioned multiple times it will be dyed however it was not! There was a pink whipped cream on the inside which was one a super light pink colored that barely showed up and two I was told that the cake itself would be dyed. We had a whole conversation that I shouldn't do any other cake flavor so the pink color will pop! When we cut into the cake the cake was not dyed and when I called them to inform them that the cake was not what I ordered they only line they had to say was that we did review the order with you and in order to dye the cake it is an extra charge. Totally understand if it was an extra charge and I would have paid however I was not told it was an extra charge so I was under the impression it would be dyed. I paid $72 for a non dyed gender reveal cake. My advice take your money somewhere else cause at Candle Light Bakery they do not care or take responsibility for ruining such a special moment. Will never order from here again! read more

Delicious cakes not too sweet. Called in to place and order for a cake. I got exactly what I wanted Service when ordering and picking up was seamless. Nice store with lots of options. I wish they had cake boxes to size other options which keep the whole cake covered when walking out. read more

I usually order my cakes from this bakery every time I throw birthday parties or gatherings. I never really had any complaints until today. RATING 1/10 * MOLD ON CAKE Yesterday I threw my son his 1st birthday & ordered a 1/2 sheet vanilla cake with strawberries and creme. I paid roughly around $75. My pick up time for the cake was at 11:00AM and I didn't get to the bakery until 11:30am. Everything went smoothly, I was in and out of the bakery. I arrived at the park for my son birthday party at 12:00pm and blew out the cake at 3:00 PM. When I had a slice of a cake the outer cream wasn't as bad but when I took a few bites, I notice it didn't taste "fresh" as usual. I tried not to let it bother me and I just brushed it off. Everyone at the party had a slice and mostly everyone took a slice home as well. Later on that evening my niece called me and told me that the cake had MOLD on it & for me not to eat it. I was also getting multiple texts and calls from other family members and friends that they seen mold on it and the cake didn't have any flavor! I was so EMBARRASSED because I giving out MOLDY cake to babies, kids, pregnant women's and etc, also I was so AFRAID that people were going to get SICK from the cake! I had to call 50+ people warning them not to eat the cake due to MOLD. This is so UPSETTING! I don't understand how the MOLD can grow so quickly on the cake when it was 66 degrees outside with slight of cloud and the cake was covered in a sheltered space and wasn't opened until we blew out the cake. I'm assuming that they baked this cake 2-3 days in advance because mold can grow significantly within 24 to 48 hours. It's so funny because when I called before preordering the cake the lady that took my order specifically said they bake their cakes the night before sometimes 1-2 days in advanced. I will not be ordering any bakery from this location anymore and I will continue to spread this story to my friends, family and my social media about the MOLD on the cake. GREAT JOB CANDLELIGHT BAKERY! read more
