I got my sister's graduation cake here a while back and the cake tasted heavenly! The design on it was supposed to resemble paint splatters and it looked kind of messy but the taste made up for all of it. Overall I would recommend this bakery to everyone! read more

Every party, every celebration, every birthday isn't fully planned until the cake is ordered from Creative Cakes. We've been ordering from them since they opened and it's always delicious. An excellent butter cream cake. Their cupcakes are also Delicious and the flavor options are fun and refreshing. read more

Creative cakes supplied the cake for our company Christmas party. Screen print of the photo was well done. The cake was spongy and soft. The frosting was the perfect thickness and not to sweet.... I don't know what type of filling Steve ordered but it was creamy and delicious! read more

What better place to stop after picking up a duathlon race packet than a bakery? My thoughts exactly. The bakery space is bigger than you would guess just from seeing the outside. And to avoid any confusion, it's tucked in the corner of the strip mall next to AT&T. I like the prices here. Standard vanilla and choc cupcakes will run $1.35 and fancier, filled ones (like pina colada, raspberry lemonade, and white mousse filled red velvet) are only $1.65. With plenty of other sweet treats to choose from - brownies, bars, mini tarts, and cookies - I got a petit four with 2 cupcakes. The petit four was very marzipan heavy, overpowering the cake. Light and fluffy characterized the cake. Yum! I know buttercream is supposed to have butter in it, but it was too heavy in the frosting on the raspberry lemonade cupcake, and I actually didn't finish a glob of it. I'll come back when I'm in the area. read more

This review is very past due. I've had two cakes from this bakery, and I am extremely satisfied with not only the quality of the cakes, but also the customer service received. The bakery itself is very large and inviting. They have additional sweets (cookies, mini cakes) for purchase and well. Recently I picked up a graduation cake for my best-friend. After eating my birthday cake, she wanted her graduation cake from the bakery as well. She placed the order, and I was on pick up duty. A gentleman went and got the cake and showed it to me. In my opinion the cake looked a little empty (which is what my friend ordered). I didn't want to be the picky/judgmental person, yet he spoke up first and suggested the additional of a few buttermilk roses. I quickly agreed. He went and had a few roses added and the cake was perfect. He even carried it out to the car for me. My friend really liked it as well, and she was very appreciative that he suggested the roses. I've found my new lifetime bakery. read more

We wanted a simple design for our wedding cake in August 2018, so the decision came down to flavor. And Creative Cakes was absolutely unbeatable. We took one bite at our tasting and knew there was no contest. The chocolate cake was rich but fluffy and light and the buttercream frosting and fillings were so creamy and perfectly sweet but not overwhelming. The tasting was a lot of fun. They give you an iPad full of sample designs (which was just fine for our simple idea) or will sketch out something special if you prefer. Then, we got a plate full of small squares of cake flavors and circles of each filling flavor. The set-up let us mix and match and decide on the perfect combination for our cake. The finished product was beautiful, so moist (even two days later) and delivery was smooth. We had our florist add greenery and flowers to the finished cake. My mother-in-law also ordered a groom's cake, beautifully decorated with the mascot of the groom's favorite team and other icing decorations, for our rehearsal dinner. Everyone raved about both cakes! read more

I ordered about a week and a half in advance and they truly understood the assignment! It was for my boyfriend's 30th birthday and it turned out beautiful and tasted amazing. I asked for strawberry shortcake so it was pillowy soft/yet perfectly dense cake with whipped cream & strawberries on the inside with buttercream frosting. There was minimal fondant & I'm so glad I took Delaney's advice from the consultation call. Thank you! read more

Delicious, moist cakes. This has been the go to bakery for our family for years! The best cakes in town hands down.

This bakery is cute! Le'ts get straight to it: The macarons are $1.95 a piece which is a decent price. However, the macarons themselves were okaaaay. I love macarons and have had ones from Chicago and these don't really compare to the ones from Chicago. But as a local bakery, I would say they were okay. The tops of the macarons weren't smooth which is my main concern. Nonetheless, they were still delicious. read more

A wedding cake is an understatement. Not only was we able to design every tier of our cake. The cake was fabulous. We have used CC for several cakes in the past and they didn't disappoint this time. They delivered the cake on time to the venue. The customer service was impeccable throughout the hold process, Alicia was the best. Thank you for making our day so special. read more

We just moved to the area and I was looking for two small cakes for my daughters birthdays, so I ordered from this place on a whim after looking on Yelp for nearby bakeries. I ordered online and the process was easy. The cakes were beautiful, but the TASTE was even better. I dont actually know the last time I had a cake that was so soft, flavorful and moist. Just the right sweetness on the icing. Everyone at the party commented on how great the cake tasted. Will definitely be using Creative Cakes for future orders, I want to try the different flavors and filling options. read more

Fran and the Creative Cakes team did an amazing job designing and baking our 5-tier wedding cake. They talked us through all of the options during our tasting and were able to help us narrow to two different flavor combinations: chocolate with peanut butter and chiffon with lemon and raspberry. The cake arrived and they were able to incorporate the topper seamlessly. The cake was beautiful and incredibly photogenic. But most importantly, all of our guests raved about how delicious the cake was - both flavor combinations were a complete hit! read more

It pains me to knock a star off my original review of Creative Cakes, but sadly, it must be done. Let me first say that we really, really love Creative. We used them for our wedding cake and have purchased MANY cakes since then. This year alone, I've purchased four cakes (we are a family of seven) and the taste has always been crazy amazing. No, really--if this review was on taste alone? Five hundred MILLION stars. And that's not an exaggeration. (People STILL tell us how much they loved our wedding cake, btw. It was unreal. But I digress...again...as usual... :) The one star deduction from my prior review? Honestly, out of the four cakes I've ordered so far in 2014, the first two looked incredible. The last two...well, not so much. The first cake in February was for our daughter's first birthday--sea themed--and it was SO cute. Her smasher cake was to die for. LOVE! The next cake I ordered was in March for my oldest daughter's seventh birthday. She is Rapunzel OBSESSED & her cake was beyond perfect. Two for two and I was the happiest ever. My son's birthday was in May and his Angry Birds cake was delicious but kind of...minimalist. That wasn't even really an issue, though; I selected the Angry Birds theme per his request and I get that they followed the design template. Perhaps it was just such a contrast to the perfection of Rapunzel six weeks prior? The writing was really "smooshed" together. I didn't even take any pictures of the cake although once I sliced it, no complaints to be found. :) The last cake was a Blackhawks cake for my husband's birthday earlier this month. It was delicious but again...not impressively designed. I ordered a Hawks cake last year for his birthday as well and that one looked fantastic. Not sure why this one didn't pan out as well, but again...the writing was a bit unclear and I'm sure that didn't help. :/ All in all, I still consider my family to be CC loyalists and we will absolutely use them again. The staff is always pleasant enough and I really can't say enough about how amazing their cakes truly taste. The cakes transport beautifully (usually my husband picks them up) and they stay fresh and delicious for as long as they last (which isn't very long in our house!), but I'm hoping the subpar writing/decorating was just a fluke (times two)... read more

We chose Creative Cakes for our wedding cake kind of arbitrarily, but it was such a good decision in retrospect! Wedding cakes are tough to do. Tons of cake, structural integrity is important, and fussy brides/grooms/people to please. I totally get it. And so did Creative Cakes! The actual cake was wonderfully moist and flavorful. The mousse filling was light and delicious. The frosting was a great complement to the other flavors, and not overwhelming at all. It was amazingly good several days later! Our guests loved the cake, and we did too! Try the chocolate cake with vanilla mousse and orange mousse --- like a chocolate Dreamsicle! :) read more

Where do I begin? I have attached photos of two cakes I ordered for two different events. The cakes were absolutely beautiful that I forgot to take pictures of the cupcakes I ordered for both events. Service: for the 1st event, I ordered the pink and blue cake. The order was taken incorrectly but was told the system had the correct order so I should not worry. To verify the cake order was indeed correct, I called two days before the party to verify. The cake had already been completed with the incorrect order instructions. I manage projects for a living so I was not going to flip out because there is always a plan b. The young lady on the phone immediately tells me since the cake is made they can offer to make an additional smaller cake with the requested bread. That offer was satisfactory, in my opinion, I accepted. I picked up the cakes and cupcakes the day of the event and that service was smooth. The young lady at the register helped me out to the car. For the 2nd event, everything went smoothly, from order placement to pick up. Quality: the quality is above standards. I have ordered hundreds of cakes throughout my lifetime for several events. The cakes this business makes, in my experience, are fresh, delicious, they look good, are made with quality ingredients. They are sweet but not too sweet, just perfect! They're fluffy, spongy and moist. The cupcakes are also perfectly made. The only negative is that I had emailed the business all of my information and request and never received a response. This is what prompted me to go visit the location. During the 1st visit I mentioned I had emailed them and never received a response. I was told they did receive my response and their system can't tell them if they had sent out a response. If a business is going to request email communication my suggestion is to have someone respond as everyone that sends in an email as that person can be potential first time and lifetime customer. I will definitely be coming back to this location and unless I move, I am a forever customer. read more

Hmm.... What can I say about Creative Cakes? I LOVE YOU AND IF YOU WERE A MAN I WOULD LEAVE MY BOYFRIEND FOR YOU! Usually, the cake looks great but tastes horrible or vice versa. Creative Cakes does exceptionally well in both areas. This places is totally the bees knees. I don't have a complaint. They do an awesome job and the customer service is superb! I'm not your average customer when it comes to cakes. I tend to like the show stopper type cakes and they step to the plate and deliver each time. Love em!!! read more

What more can I say but YUMMMMMMMMY!!!! We went here for a cake tasting for my sister's wedding...OMG I'm not a big sweet eater but I ate all of my samples and then some it was just that good. The buttercream frosting was light and airy! We had chocolate, banana, red velvet, yellow, white, confetti and different flavored mousse. We were able to mix the flavors and come up with a dynamite duo but I am sworn to secrecy from my sister on what her final choice will be for her wedding cake. The cake was moist and melted on my tongue...just the right kind of sweetness. The owner was just so sweet and she sketched a picture of the cake with ease. I feel bad because I can't remember her name nor the young man that helped us when we first got there, but they both were great and made the experience that much better. I also had the opportunity to taste two of the sandwiches(Roast Beef and BLT on marbled rye) we also had their pasta salad, soup and fresh fruit. I have to agree the price point was pretty high for the sandwiches but I was hungry so I had to dig deep in frugal pockets so that I could eat off some of those sweets. I want to go back and soon so that I can taste some more of their sweet treats. Enjoy!!! read more

We ordered a baby shower custom tiered cake, and custom cookies from this amazing bakery. Let me just say - This is as good as it gets.! The cake was moist, the cookies were the best we have ever had. The design was precisely executed to the T. I am very picky when it comes to service and execution. NO COMPLAINTS! This really means something... All of the guests wanted a second piece of cake, not to mention the fact that they all wanted to know where the store was so they can get more! ; ) The staff was very friendly - I felt like I was working with family to put together a great cake design.

We have been CC groupies for the past several years for many reasons: 1. Their staff is great. They are very helpful and accommodating. I've gotten to the point that when I order a birthday cake, I just tell them theme and let them do their creative thing. My daughter had an outer space birthday party but wanted her cake to look "pretty" (i.e., girly) and they definitely delivered! 2. The cake and icing flavors are amazing. The cakes are soft and fresh -- I've never gotten excited about a simple yellow cake until I had CC's -- so yummy! The buttercream is delicious. It's definitely not as sugary as store bought cakes and I think that's one of the reasons it's so good. They also don't spread it on an inch thick like Jewel does. My guests always rave about it. 3. Their other assorted baked goods are delicious as well. From Thanksgiving cupcakes to maple bacon donuts, it's all so good! All in all, this bakery is wonderful. Yes, it's more expensive than Jewel or Target, but it's worth every penny!!! read more

This place is GREAT! A little more pricey on the breakfast sandwiches that I'm use to, but it's about quality. They also serve and sell Intellegentsia coffee, which is AH-MAZING! I've been looking for a local place that's not Starbucks, yet better than Dunkin' Donuts. And their donuts will make your eyes roll to the back of your head. The atmosphere is quiet. I was able to do a phone interview without any interruptions at all. I like this so much that I bumped my initial 4-star rating to a 5! LOVE IT! read more

I emailed this place on April 19th to get some info on a custom cake that I needed for May 15th. They responded and told me to fill out a request form, which I did. I waited for 3 days after I submitted it before I emailed them again asking if they received my form and why there was such a lack of response. They finally responded on April 22nd and said that they've been really busy and would get back to me as soon as possible. However, now it is May 12th and I still have had ZERO response and have decided to go another way. I am extremely disappointed in the customer service here because I gave them a lot of time in advance to prepare the cake I wanted and was told I would get a response but never did. This place came heavily recommended but at his point, I am not sure why. read more
