I don't usually bother to leave reviews, but their service deserves 5 star rating and more. My son attends a boarding school far away from home, and his 16th birthday was coming up. I was searching for a bakery who would not mind delivering a cake to his school. Chickadee Hill Cakes was super nice to accommodate our needs as needed some coordination with a school dorm advisor. I appreciate not only their great service but also their CAKE... the CAKE was an amazing art piece. They went above and beyond creating this art piece -- The rock climbing cake was far better than what I captured/provided to them from Pinterest, and the climber shown in the photo has an exact t-shirt, shorts, tights, and shoes that my kid had on in the reference photo. All the details down to wrinkles on the pants... everything about this cake was just so impressive. And, further, this climber figure had such a vivid face expression with multi-colored eyes. Our family very much appreciate their creation! We also ordered cupcakes from them for dorm advisors - the cupcakes looked so beautiful as well. Thank you!

Their breakfast sandwiches and coffee lattes are also good. However, the overall aesthetic is quite outdated and they should remove the nasty stained carpet and replace it with hard flooring. It's not pleasing to look down and see all the dirty stains when your eating-it's gross. The decor, including the stuffed bear on the piano, feels a bit old-fashioned. Additionally, there was an electric fireplace in the middle of the wall that looked out of place and bizarre. This place could use a brightening up to make it more inviting. It's spacious with plenty of seating, but it could definitely benefit from a refresh to create a more welcoming atmosphere.

I went to 5 different bakeries looking to have a particular cake made for my daughters birthday. The other bakeries wanted to make their own variation of what I wanted, Carina asked me to text her the picture of what I wanted and she made it exactly! My cake was just beautiful, and delicious too! I requested a strawberry cake and though it was not listed on her website as an available flavor, she immediately agreed to make it and it was absolutely perfect. I couldn't be happier and will definitely be going back to her for any future cakes. The price was also great, a few dollars less than the bakeries who couldn't make exactly what I wanted, even with an available picture. Carina really tired to please, even helped me to load the cake in the car, and called day of the party to make sure we were happy, great service and cake. read more

7 different cakes later. I am a very satisfied customer. I have giving you so many cake projects and you have yet to disappoint. I am sure you never will. From shower cakes, to first birthdays, boobie cakes for dad, and more. Just recently you were a life saver. 10pm last minute call thank goodness you answered . I swear I don't know what I would of done if you didn't. You stayed up over night and made me exactly what I wanted. You have honestly been the best service for the right price cake bakery I have been too. The party was a success and EVERYONE loved the cake and cupcakes. Again thank you! I'd recommend you to everyone I know. read more

The cakes and cupcakes here are amazing. I wish I could pick a favorite but they're all so delicious! The chocolate cake is by far the best I've had, it's so deliciously moist. My new favorite combination is chocolate cake with mocha frosting and raspberry preserves. There's nothing like a freshly baked toasted coconut cupcake. Carina is beyond amazing. She truly is an artist and cares about each and every cake. She goes above and beyond for every customer and it shows. read more

I included pictures of everything but as of writing the review have only (been there many times before) but have only eaten the PUC and that chocolate mousse "parfait". It's ALL SO GOOD. I wanna make this particular review about this pineapple upside down cake though. It's one of my favorite desserts and I've loved it for years. TCF's P.U.C is PHENOMENAL. It's got this delicious, dense cake that sort of crumbles under your fork, it has almost a biscuity character to it. I'm only trying to make it sound better with that description. It's moist, dense, perfect. I've had PUC where it is more of a sponge cake cake, but there's is on another level. The toppings of pineapple and cherries were equally good and the cake had an amazing caramely character to it. Also not sure if sweet/condensed milk is in the recipe, but I thought I tasted a little in the cake. It was subtle as if they poured a little on the bottom of the box before placing my cake into it. The bottom was perfectly cooked and I got a lot of caramel notes throughout the cake. It had been sitting in the box just long enough to soak up all that delicious moistness, but not so long it lost its crumble or edges. Totally bomb. Totally recommend it! I also want to mention the women that work there are our absolute favorites. We have met 3 or 4 and they are all just entirely pleasant, sweet ladies who always have an engaging story. Very nice people working hard here. I really love this place.

I had been searching for a Harry Potter Cake close to the South Shore for a surprise birthday…read moreparty. No where could do the cake in the time or the price I was hoping for. I had went to a few well known bakeries and wedding cake shops, and showed them a few ideas and gave them free range as long as my theme was clearly present. All of the shops said they would make the cake, but that it would be hundred and hundreds, for just the basics, and I would have to supply the Wand, Owl, Glasses, Scarf, Etc, for my design. I could have gotten a cake from stop & Shop for 30 dollars and grabbed some accessories from Newbury Comics if that was my goal! Anyways, I placed my order with Erin 24 hours ahead of time, and she nailed the cake, as well as accommodating my last minute requests.The cake was made, perfectly, and affordable for everything being edible and sticking with the theme. It was also delicious which was the best part! I had also requested my already rushed order be done a couple hours earlier, due to traffic commuting to Haverhill from South Shore, and although traffic ran me a bit late, Erin did call to say she had finished the cake early and to come pick it up as soon as I could! Staff was friendly, and after my commute I also grabbed a cupcake for the ride home! Strawberry Banana- Yum! It was worth the price and the drive, and ended up being a huge success at the party!
