I picked up several cupcakes, petit fours, and other sweets. The shop itself is EXTREMELY cute -- the theme is Alice in Wonderland and the decor, chairs, etc all reflect it. It would be the perfect place to go for an auntie date. I like that they also sell local items too, like beef tallow lotion and pepper jelly. read more

I am planning my wedding and my experience taste testing Mad Batter's cakes was like a dream!!! From the variety of cakes, fillings and frostings -- all homemade. The red velvet cake as a true-to-form Southern recipe and the lemon curd...I could have eaten that with a spoon. I am looking forward to my wedding day, now more than ever, because my cake will be absolutely PERFECT! read more

If I can give zero stars I would. They give moldy cakes out and the inside of the building is COVERED in mold!!! They treat their employees like dogs and underpays them, short their pay however she wants because she pays them under the table!!! forces them to work in disgusting work conditions. The mold was recently brought up to the health department and she simply PAINTED OVER THE BLACK MOLD AGAIN. The owner and her daughter are the rudest people I've ever met! They are just as bad as Walmart they use frozen cakes from months and months ago. This place needs to be shut down please nobody EVER go here! I got these pics from a Facebook post from a former employee... pics dont lie!! Never ever go here! read more

I never post bad reviews, but I can't not share my experience with this business. We booked a cake tasting through the company email - Annie Gros was our point of contact. We took off of work and drove an hour and a half from Gonzales for our appointment time. Upon arriving, they said that Annie was not there that day and they were not set up for us, could we come another day. Incredibly unprofessional. This is not the kind of place I would even consider booking my wedding cake with. One word to describe this business - ghetto. Avoid at all costs. Doesn't even smell like a bakery. read more

Mad Batter Bakery - The cashier claimed they had never messaged me. This is their email. ?? - Bakeries Near Me - Chalmette, Louisiana

This bakery sells the most horrible cake product I've ever tasted. Walmart cakes taste better and I don't like Walmart cakes. However, given a choice, I'd choose Walmart, though not a connoisseur's first choice. The cakes have not flavor or taste just bland. The frosting taste like unflavored crisco. There is also no appeal to the eye. Some of their cake unintentionally sloppily positioned and are not stacked correctly. read more

I needed a birthday cake and someone mentioned this place. I had never even been inside of the place but I called and placed an order anyway. I ordered a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing and chocolate covered strawberries in the top. The cake it self was reasonably priced I picked up the cake and asked when had it been baked and was told Wednesday...... unmmmm......that was a red flag for me. She told me they bake them early to give them time to set and to cool. I picked the cake up at 2 pm on Saturday. I asked if the cake had to be refrigerated and she asked what time was the party I said 730 she said no it should be good. She placed one very small piece of tape on the top and one very small piece on each side. The box was not closed properly at all. Needless to say the cake was good. It did taste a little stale to me but the flavor was good and icing was perfect not too sweet I definitely would consider purchasing something else from Mad Batter I just would ask for it to be made closer to the time I need it read more

i ordered a cake like every year. this year my daughter wanted the bunny logo from a k pop band. The bunny was literally an outline just filled in with white icing and a blue bow on top. The cake decorator could not do the outline of a bunny so they slapped a big ugly piece of fondant on it the bunnies eyes or cross the fondant is not even all the way on the cake, there's an air bubble in between the fondant in the cake it was supposed to be heart shaped and you can't even tell the shape of the cake and let's just say this small cake was very costly. I will never order another cake from Mad batter again. read more

Let's just start with me reading several negative reviews on this quaint little place. I've read how much expectations people had from them and they are let done. However, I didn't get their same results. In fact, I've got more what I've expected. Furthermore, Mad Batter Bakery was not my original choice for bakery for my Wife's birthday cake but they stepped up and gave me a wonderful cake. I appreciate their hard work and short notice (24hours) to complete the cake. The front associate was friendly and eager to assist me with my cake ideas. What's even more surprising was I've got a friendly message from the owner to see how myself and my Wife enjoyed their creation, too. I will do business with Mad Batter Bakery in the future. Thank you for helping out with a beautiful / tasty cake and in a short time frame, also. Keep up the great work and customer service. read more

Update Alert: Ok, so I returned to try the king cake, and yes it was delicious. I would probably place this cake on my top ten list for king cakes. It was fresh, soft, and fluffy. It was sweet, and would go well with coffee, or milk. I also tried the Russian cake, and vanilla bean cupcake. The cupcake was the best tasting cupcake I've ever eaten. It was stuffed with some kind of cream, that was pretty lovely. And the icing...oh the icing was soooooo good. The Russian cake. Hmmmm. So I've never eaten Russian cake, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to taste. But I can say that it tasted like toothpaste, all of it, especially the icing. Not my thing, but to each his own. read more

My husband purchased a sweet potato cake there for his birthday. He paid $70 for a 9 inch round cake. It was sad! First, it looked like a 4th grader decorated It, secondly, it was dry and had no taste! At the birthday dinner, Noone liked the cake and did not eat it. Sad!​ read more

I ordered a birthday cake. The girl wrote the wrong date I don't know how she could 20th when I said 29th those numbers sound nothing a like and I specifically said the sunday after thanksgivings. First I was told I would have to pick the cake up Saturday then I was told friday. It was too late to order from someone else so I was like ok. They called me on the 20th saying my order was ready and I told I wanted my cake for the 29th but my pick up date is friday because I was told after I placed my order the place will be closed saturday too. When I picked up my cake on the 28th it looked rush and not worth the cash money I paid for it. When I tasted the cake it didn't taste like a day old it tasted like a cake that was almost a week old. The writing on the cake look like my 5 year old nephew had wrote on it. I will post what I should them and what I got. read more

Ordered a retirement cake for an employee. It was the ugliest cake I have ever seen. The writing on the top looks like a kid did it or maybe me. So much empty space and the word retirement scrunched up to the border. You can't even read it. $50 wasted-I should have done it myself it would have looked better. Picture included. read more

Awesome location with a great theme and atmosphere. They do great wedding cakes, but I feel they drop the ball very often with local orders for birthday cakes and such all I hear is complaining about them. read more

Wow, I just can't even begin to describe how awful this bakery is. Since their king cakes won a bunch of polls, I decided to check them about, and buy a few different flavors of their filled offerings. First off, they aren't filled during the pre-boxing process, so they take a regular king cake that is sitting on the shelf, and take it to the back to fill it. They turn it upside down to hand fill it, so it takes quite a while - and your king cake comes back as a smooshed up mess. The king cakes themselves were all dry. How this place managed to get better king cake reviews than bigger, and better king cakes (Randazzo's, and Haydel's) is beyond me. Can you say ballot stuffing. read more

2nd time buying a $200+ birthday cake and both are disappointing. Even the cupcakes are terrible. The cakes did not look like the picture we gave them. (2 years ago)The first $250 cake was a mini mouse theme cake with fondant and the fondant was not even all around and full of finger prints on it all over the cake. We cut into it and hardly had butter cream in it. It was mostly fondant and (dry) breading. (This weekend) second order we made, we wanted to give them a second chance. The cupcakes we ordered were mickey mouse themed cupcakes with swirled frosting, and glitter red sprinkles, they didn't give us that at all. It was a flat frosting and they just put three circles impersonating a mickey mouse, my sister had to ask them to add the edible glitters because it was so plain and DRY! Don't get me started on the mickey mouse cake.... it was nothing NOTHING! Like the picture we showed them. Since the last order was a fondant cake, we asked for a butter cream for the decorations. The butter cream was not butter cream, it tasted like sweet waxy oily mess. And this place ain't cheap, I can buy a better tasting cake at whole foods then this and cheaper. Not recommending this place to anyone. If I could give zero stars I would! read more

I'll have to say I would never come here again. I went in with high hopes of getting what I paid for. Their interior is beautiful and they have such beautiful cakes on display. I did not hesitate to place an order in advance for my son's birthday. The cake I received was nothing close to professional. The cake was lopped sided and the shapes drawn on the cake was horrible. It looked like a kid decorated the cake. I was very very disappointed and upset. Being that I picked it up the day of the party and the cake was a fully vegan cake for my son that is highly allergic to eggs, milk, and peanuts, there was no time to get a replacement. I eventually calmed down and said, I'll let it go as long as it tastes good. My gosh was that a disappointment as well! It's bad when my guest were all disappointed in the decoration of the cake and then the taste as well. Everyone took one bite and that was it. Everyone says the cake tasted old and looked old. I had cake plates around the house, uneaten. I made vegan cupcakes myself for the first time for this party and everyone said it was actually very awesome and they couldn't even tell it was fully vegan! I felt happy that they all preferred my cupcakes over the cake, but imagine my disappointment in the cake I paid so much for. More than half of the cake is still in my fridge that will end up in the trash today. I think next time I'll definitely put out the time and effort to bake the cake myself. read more

I love this place! They have the best king cake around. I have bought various other items and have never been disappointed. The service is great and the baked goods are even better. I think it is a little pricey but you get what you pay for, you know what I mean. read more

I wish I could rate them a negative star because this place is a ripoff and the staff and owner Ann, gets mad when you don't agree with their horrible outcome of your order. They tax you everytime you pay on an order if you have a large order and making payments on it. I've never heard of such a thing. If the total is $800 and you make payments on the order why are they charging tax each time you pay. Is that even legal? I don't see this overcharging and stale pastry place being opened too much longer and the attitudes in the place will shine through the phony smiles once you complain about spending your money on pastries that aren't up to par. I give a big thumbs down to this bakery. read more

Mad Batter is always delicious and fresh. We have never been disappointed, everything is fresh and yummy.

We attended a cake tasting on 8-19-2017. I must say that our experience was fabulous. The store decor is Alice and Wonderland themed which was unique. The bakery itself was very neat, clean and very well maintained. We were seated and given a variety of delicious cakes, icings, and fillings to sample. This experience was different from previous tastings, she allowed you to actually formulate a custom cake vs giving you what "she " thought you might like. The owner was attentive, thorough and knowledgeable. Her design expertise is unsurpassed based on previous examples of her work. If you are looking for a cake vendor who can make your wishes come true, please visit this bakery. The pricing is very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend The Mad Batter Bakery. read more

Really not good. The counter girl didn't know much about the pastries. Cupcake was the worst I've ever had. Tasted like dense chemical laden bread with too sweet buttercream. read more

Ehh... isn't bad I guess, but not worth the prices I've heard friends have paid for cakes. My only firsthand experience is ordering cookies and the flavoring was extremely overpowering. read more

I had a cake from here on April 30, 2015. This is not the first time I have been here. Its about the fourth. I haven't previously yelped about this establishment. Yea, it's super cute. However, the chairs must have been picked for looks not comfort. The first time I went here it was really good the vanilla bean cupcake was good. Expensive though. Not that that is a problem if it's worthy. The first time it was. The second it just didn't seem fresh. The third good the cake which I did not preorder was just not fresh. This place is hit or miss. Work out the kinks on your stock rotation. My best advice that's free. read more

I really would like to say something great about this quaint little cute bakery that's in the perfect location on Judge Perez. We ordered a cake from them for my nieces 6th birthday. Her theme was Uni Kitty, which is this cute little cat. When I picked up the cake I noticed that it was extremely plain and the decorations were minimal. I felt like I could have purchased something similar if not better from Walmart or Rouses. The main reason we decided to go with Mad Batter was because of it's called Mad Batter and we assumed that they would be very creative. When we ordered be cake we thought that the photo would at least cover the entire cake, but instead it only covered about a quarter of the cake leaving the remainder bare... I don't understand why a bakery named Mad Batter wouldn't be more creative than that especially for $80!!! I'm an extremely disappointed. The only reason I'm giving them two stars is because the cake was very moist... it wasn't the best tasting but it was fresh. With that, I'll just say that I wouldn't recommend them and I don't plan on ever using them again. read more

They may be ok for cakes, but don't bother buying the crawfish bread. Way too small and not much in them for $5. I purchased an apple fritter and it was old!! read more

I purchased cupcakes, a slice of carrot cake, and a three flavor cake, I must say all cakes were heavy, tasted like sugar, water, and a lot of flour. Although the staff were very sweet, I won't be paying a third visit. read more

Mad Batter Bakery is the best bakery I have ever been to. The cakes are always absolutely amazing and always beautiful! The best tasting cakes ever! The king cakes are so amazingly good!

I have used this bakery twice over the last 3yrs and was excited to use them once again for my godchild 1st birthday, unfortunately this will be the last time I use Mad Batter, the cake was late arriving to the party it was suppose to arrive at 115p and didn't get to the zoo until 150p, it was uneven and cracking, it was stale, the imperfections were very visible and lastly it was not what I ordered. When I phoned to discuss the issue I was hung up on not once but twice. The person identified themselves as the manager (Jordan) and basically told me I was undercharged to begin with, correct me if I'm wrong but $191 for a 14" cake seems a bit much. If I had to rate this shop for my third go round I would request they be closed down. read more

Nice shop i hope they do well. At first when i heard there was another Bakery opening up i thought damn another one. This place is worth the stop, it is Alice in wonderland themed and looks pretty cool. I tried a couple random typical bakery goods and they were all good. They had some kind of mystery bag for $1 guess that is the ones that are messed up and not let it go to waste. Next time i am in the mood for Bakery sugary goods i will try them out again. I am Handicap and Parking can sometimes be problematic. Front door parking is limited to about 3 spaces, but i found out there is parking in the rear. I have hear others with complaints, but what new business starts off perfect. Most, if not all business start with hiccups or occasional not so great batches. If you do try something and you don't like it, tell them ( in a nice constructive way ) so they know and can try to make it better. How do you expect them to evolve without customer insight. Everyone that works there is super nice, they can help you decide what sweet treat you want. read more

Just had the worst experience at Mad Batter's Bakery in Chalmette. I ordered a cake for my son's baptism and when I went to pick it up, it literally started leaning, crumbling, and falling apart. When I asked to speak to management, they refused to talk to me and told me come back on Monday if I had a problem. Not to mention the cake was sloppy and did not look anything like what I requested. I even provided them with a picture of what I wanted. I tried to explain to the girl behind the counter that the cake is obviously top heavy and should have had more support. The box they gave us was so small and crushed the top of the cake. She then proceeded to scream at me and take my picture while standing behind the counter. She wouldn't give me her name so I could speak to management about this. When we did speak to management they stated that we were wasting their time because they had a wedding to attend. The owner then stated that we obviously did not care about my child enough because if we did, we would have had the cake delivered to begin with. After posting my experience on Facebook at around 3:30 pm, I received a personal message from rhe bakery at 10pm bribing me to take down my post in exchange for my cake to be fixed. It was too late at that point because we had to find someone to make a new cake before the next day. Not to mention, it was 10pm and I begged them to fix it at the store before they threw us out. Absolutely horrible service and I would not recommend getting a cake from them ever. They hid my review and their review section from Facebook so I want to make sure my experience was fairly shared. read more
