We recently stopped in Lisa's rum cake for a last minute order. They helped us pick out the right size of cake and they customized it for us in less than 15 minutes. We were so happy with how beautiful the cake was decorated. It was a surprise for a client and they raved about how delicious it was. Mission accomplished. If you want a very soecial cake for a very special occasion look no further than Lisa's.. read more

When I placed an order for a cake I specifically told them I do not want whip cream frosting. I pick up my cake and get it home and it's whip cream frosting. When I called to tell her that's not what I asked for she says that's all she's ever used. It would've been nice if she told me that when I placed the order. Of course she denied hearing my request. Not thrilled with her service. Or her cake. read more

I have ordered cakes from here before and absolutely loved them! Today we had a cake pie that I ordered for my daughters birthday and it was a total disappointment! I gave it 2 stars because it tasted great and the customer service this place has is wonderful ...I can't imagine that the quality I was given today would hold up the normal standards...I'm hoping this was a fluke...When I went to cut the first piece, it was just a runny mess...I took a picture after cutting 3 pieces...It looks terrible and I couldn't see the layers at all! It completely caved into the middle...I also felt the pies are something a novice baker could make...I've made better looking things and I wanted something special for my daughter...The layers are super thin- the whole pie is only about an inch thick- the pictures on their website are deceiving - mine didn't look anything like it and because it all ran together, you couldn't even tell there were layers- not the same quality as the cakes...Order the cake but skip the pies read more

Lisa's Rum Cake - This is how my pie looked after trying to cut pieces for my daughters birthday- total disappointment - Bakeries Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I ordered another cake for my dad's birthday thanks to groupon! I would have ordered it anyway, but what an even greater value. (I was so excited to see them on groupon!!!) It was my first time ordering on-line since my other cakes have been for 50 people and I have ordered them in their shop....anyways, it was very easy and self explanatory. I even got to pay the difference on-line for a larger cake which was nice. I had a hard time deciding between the banana chocolate chip and the carrot cake since they are both fabulous but I ended up getting the carrot cake! It was awesome. I guess for my husband's birthday we'll have to have the banana chocolate chip cake....but after he had the carrot cake, he'll probably want that again. I guess we'll wait for my birthday for the banana chocolate chip. After all, there are no calories in cake on your birthday!!! read more

BEWARE.....I ordered a cake online with 24 hours notice and paid for it online as well. When we picked it up the next day, we were told that we were charged an additional $10 "rush fee" and that she "left a message" about it. We never got a message. At that point, we were there to pick up the cake so we were not going to cancel. But we were never given the opportunity to cancel....they just assumed we would be okay with an additional $10 charge. My point is that if their online ordering didnt alert me to a rush fee being added, and they didnt speak to me to get permission for the $10 fee, then they should have waived the fee as a courtesy... especially because this was the 2nd graduation cake that we ordered in 2 weeks! BAD customer service! That $10 has cost them many more cakes in the future. read more

My boss had told me that Cathy's Rum Cake was his absolute favorite cake in the entire world so, naturally, when his birthday came around I began to search for Cathy's. Yelp led me to Lisa, her daughter and I hoped against hope that the "classic Cathy's rum cake" they offer was, in fact the real deal. The cake itself was reasonable and impeccably decorated. Wonderful presentation. The delivery fee was a bit outrageous, but for convenience sake, I can't complain. I didn't have the time to go and pick it up from Gilbert. As for the cake? According to my boss, the flavor is exactly spot on. It tasted exactly as he remembered. Where this cake was more spongy like angel food, the original was a bit more dense and grainy. Where this cake's frosting had a thicker, almost meringue consistency, Cathy's used to be much more airy and closer to whipped cream. Barring these small differences, it was a dead ringer for the original and I will definitely be calling upon them again for our office cake needs. So glad for yelp and I am so glad I found Lisa's Rum Cake! read more

NO ONE USE LISA'S RUM CAKE UNLESS YOU WANT THE WORST SERVICE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so upset! My mom called to get a quote on a delivery charge for a cake for my shower, she called me to tell me how much it was and how mean this lady was who she spoke with. I was so shocked to here that, that I wanted to call and verify thinking that the lady maybe just missed quoted or was having a bad day. NOPE, I asked her how she based her pricing because my mom just called and she started yelling at me that I was a bi%@h and so was my mother for even asking. WTF! I will never NEVER go to Lisa's Rum Cake again. It is sad too because we used to get all of our cakes from there and I wanted my shower and wedding cake from them but nope. You call my mom names and we will have issues, say what you want about me but not about her. #badbaker #badbusiness read more

Amazing cakes. I got a cake for my best friends birthday and it was the frosting on a great night.

We bought the ameretto marble chip cake. The cake was very moist. I enjoyed that it was not too sweet and there was a good balance if chocolate and vanilla cream. Lisa was also very friendly and even helped me out to my car since I had my small son with me when picking up. Good product and good customer service. I look forward to trying more flavors in the future. read more

I heard so many wonders about this place, so I asked my mom to get me a cake from there for my birthday. The cake is priced at $55, I expected something amazing. However, it was far from that. The cake was Limoncello. The filling was average. The cake itself was what killed it for me. I took two bites and my mouth felt dry. I needed something to drink to bring it down. The frosting on top of the cake was also average. My mother followed their directions on defrosting the cake. But definitely not worth $55. There was 9 of us and more than half of the cake is still left from last night. read more

We bought the strawberry French vanilla cake for my parent's 60th anniversary party, and it was a big hit! The frosting was not too sweet, and the strawberries were fresh and not mushy, and the French vanilla filling was to-die-for! It wasn't too heavy for after a big meal. We got our wedding cake from Cathy's Rum Cake (Lisa's mom) 28 years ago, and this one was just as delicious! The cakes are a little pricey, but I had a Groupon, so I saved $15. Totally worth it! The 8" cake served all twelve of us at the party. read more

we tried five cakes and they are all freaken delish yummyyyyyyyyyyyy ...................................great customer service.............will be back read more

Lisa's Rum cakes does a fabulous job with each of their cakes. We ordered the Funfetti cake for my sisters bridal shower and it was a hit! They did a gorgeous job decorating the cake based on my directions. I highly recommend their cakes for any occasion! read more

I'm so glad we chose Lisa's Rum Cake for our wedding. The service is fantastic and the cake is the best I've ever tasted in Arizona. We tried many other cakes and they were no better than a cake made from a box, and some were worse. Lisa's cakes are world's better and yet the prices are comparable. She and her daughter have been a pleasure to work with. Ordering from Lisa's has been one of the best decisions we've made for our wedding. We'll be lifelong customers. read more

We ordered a cake for my wife's celebration of her 29th year and stopped by this morning to pick it up. Not only are their cakes engineered to be fresh, but they sure do taste good! We got a tour of the facility and an explanation of how they freeze their cakes and make them ready for shipping. Talk about impressive! Thanks for great cakes! read more

We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in Arizona so had to order our usual strawberry/banana/rum cake. We've eaten this cake since it was Cathy's and located in Scottsdale. We first had it at a wedding and have ordered it every time we come over. We were staying in Scottsdale so Lisa's father delivered it from Gilbert. It's never disappointed us! Always the best (and the most beautiful) cake we've ever had. Til the next time... read more

Lisa's Rum Cake made the cake for my 200 person wedding last weekend. I can not tell how how many compliments we got on the cake. The cake was so unbelievable that I had three pieces- and almost popped out of my wedding dress. We chose tuxedo, chocolate banana chip and strawberry banana rum as our three flavors. The cake was decorated with beautiful edible pearls. It was stunning. I love that Lisa's Rum Cake uses real frosting. So many times at weddings, companies use fondant, which is a complete disservice to a piece of cake. Not at Lisa's. The whipped frosting that was on our cake looked beautiful, but tasted even better. Lisa's daughter Maddison who works in the back was unbelievable. She was so kind, and our tasting was great. Just a few days before our wedding we saw Maddison out at a restaurant and she stopped to talk to us about how excited she was to make the cake for our wedding. She is an absolute doll, and great to work with! I can not say enough good things about Lisa's Rum Cake. They do a terrific job! In the 20 years since I have been eating the family's cakes, I have never once been disappointed. read more

We ordered the chocolate chip raspberry cake for a birthday and loved it! The frosting was perfect - light and not too sweet. The cake was moist and the filling was so delicious. I would definitely come back here, especially because of the outstanding customer service. I loved getting to see the kitchen and all of the wonderful cakes being decorated. Thank you! read more

I seriously love her, and love supporting a local Italian family business! Me and my family order her cakes for every special occasion and we are OBSESSED. And the cannolis make it that much more perfect. Worth every penny. read more

I as well used a Groupon to try Lisa's Rum Cake. The facility is open to see and nice bright and very clean. First tried the Red Velvet Chip. The chocolate chips really made this delicious! Went back again and tried the Limocello which had great lemon flavor. The cakes are nice and moist and the service is excellent. They really do all they can to meet your requests. I would go back here again. Maybe even try yet another flavor:) I feel they are no higher priced than any other gourmet cake. You just decide what you want. A Costco cake which is fine or Safeway etc or something very special such as Lisa's read more

My family has been coming here since before I was born, we always come here for special occasions or just when we are in the mood for a delicious piece of cake! The options are endless for cakes and I have NOT found one that I did not like. Fabulous cakes and awesome customer service. read more

Hands down, the best cakes ever! Such a sweet family and always going above and beyond with their beautiful cake designs and homemade flavors! read more

Absolutely the best cake on the planet!! and when you just have a craving, stop by and pick up a cake cut or two, they have them available everyday, one try and you will be hooked!! read more

The Neapolitan cake is to die for ordered right before thanksgiving and it was Soo good!!! Not too sweet. Freshly made. My mouth was in heaven. The service we got was amazing too. I love supporting family owned business' Everyone had smiling faces and you can tell they love what they do and their cakes prove that. Delicious!!! Thank you guys so much!! read more

Seeing a Groupon for Lisa's Rum Cake and sorely missing Cathy's Rum Cakes of Chandler, we thought we give her daughter Lisa's cakes a try. We were very disappointed.....so much so that the rum cake wasn't even worth the $24 discounted price. First, the cake tasted so artificial and processed. The texture was gummy and the cake itself was poorly decorated. The rum custard didn't taste like rum or custard but more like vanilla pudding. The italian whipped cream had been replaced with some cheap whipped topping. We loved Cathy's Rum Cakes and were hoping that Lisa's would fit the bill. It was not even close. read more

Just wanted to say Thank you for the absolutely awesome Strawberry Rum Cake. I ordered a Birthday Cake for a co-worker that happens to be really particular and doesn't have much a of sweet tooth to say the least. Sweet success is all we can say! Everyone Loved the cake and the comments varied from; "sheer perfection" " this is a sexy cake" "wow this was a excellent choice" & of course "Where can I order this"? Lisa's Rum Cake has definitely raised the bar!! Thank you for your dedication to excellence LaTonya read more

This is the biggest ripoff cake you could ever have! Cakes are similar quality like Costco or Sams Club but 5 times the cost!!! They don't even bother to do any additional design work on the cakes and they charge you like crazy!!! You better off somewhere else!!! read more

I thought the cake and cream was moist and delicious. Although, I ordered a slice of the strawberry rum cake and did not taste any of the rum. Possibly because they use rum flavoring vs real rum. Overall, it was yummy and I would possibly go back. read more

So bummed they sent my husband the receipt for his cake!! It was a surprise party!!! I don't recommend going if they don't have a terminal instead of the square on there phone. read more

Found lisa to be a poor listener and very temperamental especially when she asked if i had ever been a customer of her mom's.... like opening up a hornet's nest. Lisa compared her cakes to her mom's by.bashing her's. I didn't compare Lisa's cakes to her mom, Cathy, because there is no comparison. My advise is for Lisa and family to keep your family matters to yourself....so very unprofessional and disrespectful. read more

Lisa's Rum Cake is AMAZING!!! This is the moistest cake I have ever eaten. The custard filling with fruit or chocolate is heaven. The light whipped frosting is perfect for the decadent cake. My favorites are tuxedo, strawberry rum and chocolate cannoli but everything is awesome. They also have seasonal flavors which are always perfect for the time of year. Cuts are generous individual slices that you can get in many flavors. They are perfect for two to share but I usually don't. You can get several flavors so it isn't as hard to decide. The cakes are gorgeous which is a bonus for how good they taste. The family is always there and will go out of their way to make your experience great. The cake factory is immaculate. read more

My parent's got my wedding cake from here. My husband and i and our guest loved it! Now I continue to stop in to pick up slices to enjoy at home or to give them as great birthday slice cakes for our friends and family! I strongly recommend them! Best cakes ever! read more

I ordered the Chocolate Chocolate Rum Cake and it was absolutely fantastic. The flavors were rich and everybody loved the cake. The cake was perfectly decorated and the service was great as well. Thank You! read more

Do NOT let the name or their claim to being "formerly Cathy's Rum Cake Worldwide" fool you into thinking they are every bit as good as Cathy's was because they are NOT. My family and I have ordered Cathy's Rum Cakes for decades and have absolutely loved them each and every time. Everybody that we have served them to just loved them. Lisa claims to have "improved" on her mom's recipe when in actuality they are not improvements AT ALL. Cathy's Rum Cakes were light, fluffy, flavorful, and fresh. She used real Italian sweet cream to make her frosting. Lisa's Rum Cakes are heavy (like the consistency of a pound cake), bananas were soggy (I get the strawberry/banana rum cake so I know the difference between the typical, slightly browned bananas that were in Cathy's rum cake, and these very brown and soggy bananas yet rubbery...they reminded me of a slug), the rum flavoring was virtually undetectable, and the frosting peeled off the top in sheets when the knife was removed with each cut. The frosting tasted waxy--like imitation whipped cream from a can. It literally fell off the cake in chunks and pieces. The cakes (we also ordered a chocolate raspberry which tasted like runny chocolate pudding with some raspberry flavoring added in) were flavorless. To top it all off, we found a 2 inch black hair embedded in the filling. I am blonde so I can tell you it didn't come from my head. We were comp'ed for a portion of the price we spent on the rum cake with another cake, which I used for my niece's graduation. It was better than the first two that we got, but still not great. For the price, these cakes should be WOW. Eek! Methinks not! Before placing my order, I called LRC and spoke with Lisa. She asked if I was familiar with their cakes, to which I replied "no, but I've been ordering cakes from your mom for decades". She immediately got defensive and was quick to point out that they are not Cathy's Rum Cakes...they are better. She went on to say how she has improved on her mom's recipe and how much better they were and so on. I understand being proud of your product and wanting to boast about it, but she was immediately defensive in her tone. After being disappointed about the cakes, and utterly disgusted at the hair I found in one of them, I called Lisa again and explained how I was not very impressed. Again, she got very defensive and wouldn't let me finish speaking. Finally, I had to cut her off from her litany of excuses to reiterate that we found a hair in the cake and that was the bottom line...all other issues aside. That's when she provided "store credit". I read a lot of the reviews about Lisa's Rum Cakes and had mixed feelings as to whether or not I should trust them, but I thought I would order them anyway and let my own taste buds decide for themselves. I am so disappointed and, moreover, DISGUSTED that we spend over $100 on two cakes (6" & 8") of this quality. What a waste! read more

The cake was very small for a very expensive cake. The frosting had no taste, the cake was like mush with no taste. The filling was a cool whip goo dotted with a few pieces of fruit. We celebrated our special occasion by throwing the worst cake ever purchased in the garbage. We should have gone to Costco or our favorite nothing bundt cake instead. Don't waste your time or your hard earned money to buy overpriced junk. Less then one star is the rating. read more

Our family always gets our special occassion cakes from Lisa's Rum Cakes. They are decadent and gorgeous each time. I just had the Red Velvet Rum for my birthday- it was heavenly! Even my parents and sister who aren't fond of red velvet enjoyed it thoroughly- and had seconds. And that is hard to do with my family! You can do no wrong with Lisa's Rum Cakes. :) read more

First tried Lisa's Rum Cake from Fluff It earlier this year - I was pregnant and craving their delicious treats - so I sent hubby on a run and he brought back a couple of the collaboration CUTS in the limited My Cherry Amour flavor. Not usually a fan of chocolate and cherry together but this cake was amazing. Not overly sweet, and texturally a true delight. Moist cake, luscious custard, fluff on top! I was excited to find out Lisa's Rum Cake was close by, and have since ordered 3 cakes for birthdays in the past 3 months in addition to buying several CUTS in various flavors. All of them have been perfectly and consistently delicious. Particularly enjoyed the limoncello raspberry! Definitely recommended for high-quality, amazing cakes that have delicious flavor and texture with just the right amount of sweetness. Lisa and her whole family are always gracious and friendly whenever I go in. Looking forward to stopping by again soon! read more

I have purchased several cakes from Lisa's Rum Cakes and every one of them have been fabulous. Recently I contacted the business after hours and left a message which I thought would be retrieved the next day. Very shortly after I received a call from Lisa stating she would be there in the evening and would bake a cake for me so that I may present it to a dear friend for a birthday gift in the morning. The cake again was fabulous and this company went out of their way to service me. This is a rare find but a great one indeed. I would recommend them to everyone. Enjoy the best cake ever! read more

Even though we have had Cathy's Rum cakes for years this experience with Lisa's Rum Cakes was the most opposite and negative of any I've ever experienced. I tried to use my Deal Chicken voucher 1 day after I purchased as stated in the coupon only to be told directly from Lisa that she would not honor it until NEXT week. She was rude, unprofessional and could care less about our history with her mothers business. I thought I would be doing business with a better version of her mother's business which we were sad to hear closed down, only to find a poor representation of customer service and care to a lasting legacy. We (my entire family & close friends) will never do business with a company that does not care. read more

OMG!!! This is my 2nd review and I have NEVER ever wrote a review for anything. This bakery is like no bakery around. My family and I are from up state NY were there are many bakeries in each town. But since we've been in Phoenix, that's all we ever buy are grocery store cakes. NO MORE!! if you haven't tried one of Lisa's cakes please take that step and you will see what I'm talking about. Thanks Lisa and Family for another OUTSTANDING Cake.. See you in May for Mothers day.. read more
