    Wedding cookies on right ended up being thrown away. They were so awful it was embarrassing to let guests even see them.
    Kenda W.

    Beware. What was received was a total fail. Do your research and ask for an actual sample of what you'll receive before payment. The husband of this couple screamed at the members of wedding party upon delivery when questioned about the subpar cookies and the color of flowers on cake. Top tier of cake was missing the leaves around roses and they had to come back to add them. Flower colors were bleeding into the white icing like they were melting. Colors used were not mixed well, as white icing streaks were showing through. The woman grabbed a table decoration without asking and stuck it on top of the cake while being told repeatedly that "That DOES NOT belong there" Delivery was 2 hours before wedding in a 70° air conditioned venue, so being too hot, or delivering too early was not a viable excuse that they tried to use. He's argumentative and unprofessional. The 80+ cookies were so awful they couldn't be used at place settings as planned, they had to be thrown away.

    a birthday cake with a picture of godzilla

    Was looking for a bakery to source GREAT tasting cake and kid approved decoration. Two things that are equally important as a consumer. Cake batter is Kroger tasting quality decoration was okay. I really wanted to like this place traveled far to this bakery that is ran out of home. But I can't justify buying a cake without these two important elements. Back to the drawing board to find a place locally that offers both. Save your money go to local Kroger on this one. or even Costco cake was better then this place. Low quality ingredients makes for bad cake batter.

    What I received.

    I ordered 40 cupcakes for a wedding shower - 20 vanilla and 20 chocolate. I requested a white frosting with edible sugars/pearls- something elegant. Since I live out of state, I requested a photo of what the cupcakes would look like. They sent me a photo of a sample frosted cupcake that had a rose petal design (attached). It was perfect and beautiful and matched exactly what I had in mind. I had already purchased the flags in the photos separately. When I picked up the cakes, I was disappointed. They were not the rose petal design I had ordered. The cupcakes tasted like they had been made way in advance- almost stale- just not very fresh. I guess I just expected something a little more contemporary in the frosting design. I ordered cupcakes because I was hoping to get something better than I could make myself. The design they sent me (photo attached) did not match the design I received so I was very disappointed.

    a birthday cake with a dinosaur on it

    I've ordered two Birthday cakes both differed in design and size. I have yet to be disappointed! The prices are competitive if not incredibly affordable considering the quality and design of the 6" and 8" cakes. I will definitely be back for future cakes.

    Cake for a 12 year old girl's party
    Andrea D.

    My daughter is the ultimate Ace of Cakes, Cake Wars etc. fan and devotee. For her 12th birthday...she had a very specific wish list and cake that she drew out so I knew EXACTLY what she wanted :) She also googled cake bakeries in the area, and after much exploration of all of their web sites decided that this was the one she was destined to get her cake from! So, with drawing in hand, I dialed them up. The owners Gregory (business) and Heidi (baking) seem to have a good thing going. He took my order over the phone. Five days later, I picked up the cake, which had everything the birthday girl hoped for including lots of fondant accessories including sushi, nailpolish, a crown, cd cases, flip flops, etc. It was the hit of the party for sure!!!

    Game Night cake
    Paulette B.

    Very unique cakes. I saw the many awesome cakes online and knew this was the place to get a unique cake for my husband's 70th birthday. Our theme was game night and our cake was perfect. I felt the price was reasonable and the cake actually tasted good too. Highly recommend.

    Tackle box cake
    Sundra H.

    I found Lakes Cakes on The Knot while looking for wedding cakes. My fiance and I tried a lot of cakes to find the one ( one of the best parts of planning imo) and I can say with confidence that Lakes is one of the best out there. We picked up a sample box from their home and were so surprised by the amount of cake we recieved! I'm picky but enjoyed every single flavor. Even better, their prices were incredibly fair. We decided to book them for our wedding. Before our wedding though my fiance's father's 70th birthday came up and we wanted to do something special. A fancy cake was just what we needed. He's very big into fishing so we decided to get a 3d tackle box. I sent Lakes a couple images I found online and they were quick to give me a price (so cheap!) And agree on a style. The cake was ready on time and beautiful!!!! Everyone was shocked at how cool it looked and we're actually eating it as I type and it's just as delicious as I remembered. I cannot wait till my wedding to get another taste! Thanks Lakes Cakes!

    Greece beach themed cake for my brothers 40th
    Kathy S.

    We live 40 mins away but it's totally worth the drive. Awesome cakes!! We ordered at least 6 from them and we were please with all of them. The latest cake was a Greece beach theme cake and they aced it!!! It looked totally awesome and it was very tasty. We will be back for more cakes!!

    I would not recommend Lakes Cakes. When I choose to have Lakes Cakes create the wedding cake of my dreams, everything seemed perfect. However, when I received my cake it looked horrendous. The cake looked absolutely nothing like the cake they said that they could and would create for my wedding. My wedding cake was a huge disappointment. To make matters worse, I was told that I did not need to save the top tier to my wedding cake because I would receive an anniversary cake on my 1 year anniversary. When I contacted Lakes Cakes, in regards to an anniversary cake, I was rudely told that their policy had changed and that an anniversary cake was never in my contract. I would never do business with them or recommend their services to anyone. Also... Their response to why my cake looked horrendous was because I choose not to have my cake covered in fondant. I choose NOT to have my cake covered in fondant because Heidi told me that her buttercream is "just as smooth as fondant" and that she could still make the cake look wonderful. Money was never an issue. If Lakes Cakes couldn't make the cake I wanted, they should have called and cancelled my order.

    I needed a special birthday cake made without eggs for my grandson who has a major allergy to them. I also didn't want a cake decorated with fondant figures. I wanted true cake decorating. When I saw that Heidi did vegan cakes and how beautiful her cakes were, I decided to give her a try. Everyone agreed the cake was tasty and moist. There was a difference in the texture but it wasn't a bad thing, just different. I texted her a photo of a book jacket to copy the dog's face from his favorite book. The cake came out great and was 3 dimensional. She was very nice as was her husband. I've found a new place to get cakes!

    Quarantine cake!

    We've order several cakes from them and they are always great! They are beautiful to look at and taste delicious! Even the vegan cakes are amazing good to eat (which is hard to accomplish)! Always ordering from them for our bakery needs!

    I wish I could give Zero stars. Absolutely worst customer service. I ordered a sample box and was quoted over the phone for a wedding cake. This part I will admit to being my fault, but before anything else I am a mother. My childrens school had an emergency gas leak and I had to leave work early to pick them up and my appointment to pick up the sample box slipped my mind. I received a phone call 30 min after my missed apt telling me they were closing and I would have to pick up the next day. No big deal, I apologized to them in a text since they didn't answer when I called immediately back, and sent a text shortly after instead of answering the phone. I told them I still wanted to pick up from them if they had any availablity in the morning, never heard back. Texted to ask if I was going to get a response. They told me I hadn't provided a pick up time yet, when I wasn't even told what availability they had. Something in my gut told me this was unprofessional, so I just kindly said Nevermind and said I'll be looking else where. The responses I got were appalling . These are people who are supposed to help you on happy days of life but they think they are entitled to treat people like crap. I hope this review helps at least one person not make the mistake of dealing with these rude people. If you look on other review sites they actually reply back and try to bash people even further. I am attaching my text messages as proof. Keep in mind that I paid for a product and never received it. They literally lost nothing but time they wasted arguing further. But I'll gladly pay for it to find out that these are not people I want anywhere near me or my wedding. Do yourself a favor and look at all reviews about this place on different websites. You'll see enough for yourself.
