    Red velvet cupcake
    Brianna T.

    I stop here sometimes after work when I feel like I've had a rough day and want to reward myself with a sweet treat. There are so many options, so I can reward myself with something taste like 20 different times. It's a small shop, but the desserts have a BIG BITE. This is definitely a dessert you eat in your bed with your feet up. So far I've tried the carrot cake slice and red velvet cupcake, which were moist and uplifted my mood. Thank you guys for making my day better on days I thought it couldn't! Keep up the great work! And yes, I ate my cupcake on the train because I could not wait.

    Make My Cake 409 W. 125th. St. New York, NY 10027 Key Lime Cheesecake This bakery certainly made my day when they served my cake. I definitely got the best of both worlds with a combination of key lime pie and cheesecake merged together as one. The tart, creamy cake chilled with chewy graham cracker crust on the bottom.

    Lemon and lemon icing, with vanilla and chocolate frosting cupcakes

    Service was amazing. I stopped here to get my girls some cupcakes because I was ordering some chicken next door. I walked in to a pleasant young lady with a warm bright smile on her face to ask me what did I need. There was also another young lady who was in there, I believe to be on her break. They just gave good conversation and great service. They did have some seats for you to sit down and enjoy your treats but I decided to order to go and I left happy with four delicious cupcakes and a cookie. Yes they make cookies too. The cupcakes were very good. They had a very homemade taste. Like if they were made in my own kitchen using fresh ingredients. For that Im a fan, luv, luv, anything homemade. I can see why this place is popular. Thumbs up for me.-Happy Yelping.

    Slice of Cake - Lemon Frosted
    Sandy F.

    I am such a dessert girl and I remembered this wonderful bakery. My friend was visiting from the UK and we were exploring Harlem. It was a beautiful day and decided on some sweet treats. First of all, I love the flower decoration of the exterior. The interior is just as cute and cozy. There are a variety of cakes to choose from as well as cookies and pies. We settled on the lemon frosted cake. Upon arriving at home I was eager to eat the cake and it was absolutely perfect and delicious. The lemon flavor wasn't overwhelming, it was moist and fluffy and the filling was excellent. Please forgive the pics. Not my best but we had the cakes in a backpack and it got a little crushed. Nevertheless, I was delighted and enjoyed every bite. You must stop in and get a slice. Terrific bakery and service with a smile.

    Obsessed!! My daughter loves their cupcakes so we go at least once a week for a cupcake. Red velvet is my fave that cream cheese frosting is legit. However I'm here to talk about their chocolate cake. I ordered a 10 inch chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting for my son's first birthday. The ordering process was simple and I thought the cake was decently priced for its size 80.00 for a 10inch cake. Budget friendly at least for me. The staff is always friendly and helpful if you are indecisive. Ok back to the cake. It was DELICIOUS! The cake part was soft and not dry. The frosting was good alittle sweet but nothing to the point you needed to chug water. Everyone at the party loved the cake and kept talking about it. Overall it's a great bakery and I will continue to order my cakes from there

    OMG.....I can't say enough about this FAB-U-LOUS bakery. They just did a 25th company cake and omg the praises and likes that were well received. I already knew it as I have been ordering cakes from MMC for over 15 yrs. Thanks to Alliyah and Mya.

    Pineapple Upside down cake
    Natasha R.

    We decided to get dessert after dinner. We wanted to get some desserts from Make My Cake. The service was timely and the ambiance was bakery like (sweet Frosting). There were a variety of cakes displayed and purchased but the one that I got was the pineapple upside down cake. I took a quick picture before I ate it all.

    During a recent trip to Harlem for a birthday party we ordered a cake from Make My Cake. It was so delicious. The chocolate cake was both beautiful and delicious. It was a hit of the party. Staff was super helpful and provided great customer service.

    SLICE OF CAKE - Red Velvet
    Candace B.

    Wonderful quaint spot full of cake deliciousness. Purchased a slice of red velvet cake. Generous slice size and wonderful flavors with cream cheese icing with the perfect amount of sweetness. Great customer service.

    Make My Cake has the best selection of cakes that you can purchase by the slice. I love the cookies best because I can eat the cookie on the way home. This location in Morningside Heights @ West 125th Street is my favorite location. I definitely stop in for something special no matter which location I'm near. This one is far from my apartment but in a busy area of Harlem. It's definitely a all day trip when I visit this neighborhood. Customer Service is always tops! Support your local small minority owned businesses.....

    I'm a sucker for their Red Velvet cake! Make my Cake definitely has the best Red Velvet cake in town. I've come on several occasions to grab a slice of cake or cupcake and their service disappoints. The staff are friendly and informative. The environment is warm and inviting. There's outdoor seating (if weather permits).

    COBBLER - PEACH
    Celina C. N.

    I love Make My Cake. I am fortunate to live within walking distance of several bakeries in Harlem, and this is one of my three favorites. I alternate among them on my weekend errands, depending on what kind of desserts I'm in the mood for that week. At Make My Cake, my faves include the coconut pineapple layer cake, strawberry frosted cupcake, sweet potato cheesecake, apple or peach cobbler, key lime pie, and the coconut pecan cookies. I'll buy a cake slice or a cupcake and eat it over the course of 3 or 4 days. They stay fresh so every bite is a delight. Same with the cheesecake and the pie. The cobblers are huge so those last me through the week. And the cookies--I always get one or two on the side :-) The staff is typically local young folks as far as I can tell, who rotate somewhat frequently. It can get quite busy in there and I can see that they are sometimes feeling under pressure, but they maintain professionalism and reliable customer service. And with me, they are always especially kind and patient (could be my grays, signaling my neighborhood Auntie status haha). I love it. Store hours were hard to pin down when they first opened this location, but I think they found their rhythm now. Not once in the past few months have I walked over and found the doors locked and lights out during published store hours, nor have they been sold out of my favorites. A+

    Okay Yelp fam, it's officially been one week since I discovered Make My Cake up the street from me, and I have eaten more than a months worth of cupcakes and cake in the days since. My name is Rebecca and I so AM a sugar addict! It's an honest godsend they don't open until 11 am as that's the only thing stopping me from cake for breakfast lunch AND dinner at this point. Now that I've tried nearly all her fantastic flavors, I have come to report back on my favorites for you. MUST GET SLICES (and get a slice for your fam because you will NOT want to share) + double chocolate cake (this tastes just like the cake in the movie Matilda looks) and is my kryptonite + Peach Cobbler is DIVINE + really love the strawberry cupcakes made with buttercream frosting w fresh strawberries mixed in- you can really taste it! + key lime pie is SO SO SO good and really rivals those I've eaten on the Florida Keys!!! OH lastly forgot the white chocolate almond cookies- now white chocolate isn't usually my thing but trust me when I say you have to try these and the oatmeal raisin. I'm drooling at the taste memory

    I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

    This is my third time going and I have to say I finally got the right desert the third time…read more Shared pics from all 3. Hands down the best thing to try is the mango (so flavorful and some parts feel cold like ice cream) and I also really liked the pistachio. Cloud is safe, Not too sweet and it's soft mousse. Yuzu (the flower dessert) had a hard rice cake under it which I was not a fan on. Everytime I have gone, the lien move pretty fast. Seating is whatever table you can find. So have one person place the order while the other scouts for a seat.

Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.
