Candice was incredibly communicative during the process and worked with us to create a cake flavor that was representative of one of our favorite vacation drinks (Lime in Da Coconut). She absolutely knocked that flavor out of the park! Since she doesn't do the Banana Pudding Cake as a sample, we ordered it for a mini celebration to try before making our final decisions. She was able to make the entire thing gluten free (she makes it all from scratch) and it was delicious! As I've been to several weddings where there were gluten incidents, I decided that we would have all of our cakes be gluten free to keep everyone safe (we have several friends with Celiacs). We did a cutting cake in the Lime in Da Coconut flavor and mini cupcakes in that flavor as well as Red Velvet. The mini cupcakes are perfect for grabbing and popping in your mouth while dancing! All of our guests loved them and we had some left over to take back with us to enjoy. I will definitely be ordering from her again!

When the cakes I was interested in were out of my budget, they offered inspiration pictures of what they could do within my budget. The cake looked beautiful and got so many compliments. It was moist and tasty, not dried out like some professional cakes are. When I wanted more of a certain color scheme, they pivoted and accommodated quickly and were very nice about it. The "icing on the cake" of their customer service was that they were worried about the meringue pops melting if I picked it up the night before because of the temperature change from their cake fridge to a regular fridge, so she came in early the next morning so I could pick it up right before the party. So many companies would have left me to deal with that on my own, but they went a step above to make sure I had a cake and experience that I was happy with. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Custom Cake Cakery!

I stopped by Custom Cake Cakery today to pick up some cupcakes. I used to come here before when it…read morewas a different bakery years ago. So it was my first time here since they changed. I was greeted right away. The young lady at the counter was nice, she was patient, and she answered all my questions. The store is a vibe. There are beautiful flowers and decor, and it's pretty and clean inside. There's a table inside, but it's not much space to eat there. So it's more of a pickup type of bakery. They had several different flavors of cupcakes in the display which all looked tasty!! They also sell custom cakes and other baked goods. I grabbed my cupcakes but I was taking pics for my review. So as I'm taking pics, I'm smiling and minding my business. A lady walks in and you can tell she was in a bit of a mood. She started talking to the girl behind the counter in a rude tone. So I went on taking my pics, and the counter where the register was, had several boxes, so I sat my cake box down on this little cart that had toppings. I thought it was too cute not to get a pic of. All of a sudden I hear the same tone say "please don't sit anything there"! I wasn't aware she was talking to me at first so, she said ma'am and I turned around. She told me no, don't put anything on that, we take that to shows or for catering. She said it could get scratched up or dinged. I apologized and moved the box. She was still talking. So I said ok. I mentioned there wasn't a sign up or anything to alert me that it was a problem. But I wasn't being rude or weird. I mean it literally was a small dessert box. When we both walked outside I told her I wasn't trying to be rude, I just wasn't fond of how she was speaking to me and thought the sign would help avoid conflicts in the future. She obviously didn't want to talk about it, so she said we never needed a sign because no one has ever done that before!! As if I'd broken some unspoken law. Lol. By this time I was confused as to what I did that was so wrong, I even had to giggle because this small situation didn't warrant her being snappy. I tried to give her grace because I don't know what kind of day she was having. But I'm assuming she's the owner at this point. She should definitely get her tone in check, because customers can pick up on your nice nasty approach. I thought this was going to be a good experience, but it left me confused and a little disappointed. The whole vibe was light and airy before she walked in. As for the cupcakes they were not what I expected. I got a mystery box so it was a mix of cupcakes they pick out that are leftovers from the previous day. But these had to have been from several days ago because each and every one was hard, none were moist. Very heavy cupcakes. There was carrot cake, I think a maple one, lemon blueberry, and chocolate. I noticed the carrot cake one had the after taste of raw flour.. . The chocolate one and the lemon blueberry tasted the best out of all of them, but each one of them had to much extract, except the chocolate one. I'm not just saying this because of the encounter we had. I don't hold grudges, this is an honest reaction. I had been excited to try this place because I have a sweet tooth. Maybe the fresher cupcakes taste better, so I'll give them that. But these weren't good to me. That's just my opinion, but still check them out, maybe it'll be a different experience and you may enjoy the flavors!! Again it's a gorgeous store!!

Once chosen, she was also very receptive to ideas and changes as my party plans continued. Payment was easy and fair, honestly I think I got much more than I expected! The cake was delivered on time and was absolutely beautiful. Almond three tier cake. Fading from Dark to purple (bottom) to white. Multiple shades of purple spotted mushrooms were placed on the side running the entire one side of the cake. Cutest things ever seen. The details were amazing. Many times a cake like this falls short on flavor. Not this one. Cake was moist, marbled (purple of course) almond cake. Icing was not too sweet and even the fondant was not overwhelming and was actually a pleasure to eat. I still did not test my sugar level the next morning because, I had a second piece. Don't tell on me!!! Candice, all 28 people that attended, loved that cake. My wife, Kimberley, the most! Thank you!!!

I wanted something small since it was just for the two of us. They made us a "smash cake" for a great price. I paid the first half of the deposit when I placed the order, and the second half once I had the gender results. They were able to make my cake that same day! They told me 3pm and when I arrived the cake wasn't finished. I had to wait 15minutes and the piping did look a little rushed. I would have preferred they said a later time and were able to make the piping look as neat as possible. This being said I'm still impressed and grateful they made the cake on such short notice. I also requested pastel colored filling and it was very dark. Unfortunately I did not love the taste of the cake and couldn't not eat more than a few bites. The vanilla icing was overly sweet. I would be interested in going back and trying some cupcakes though! Overall the cake served its purpose at a very great price!
