I am amazed by Mike. I wanted a custom cake to represent three milestone birthdays and Mike asked what was special to each of us. He was patient when I changed the design a few times and he was very accommodating when I added a second cake a few weeks before the event. The best part, not only were the cakes amazing, but they tasted fantastic. So moist and full of flavor. We had chocolate cake with Baileys frosting and Marble cake with peanut butter frosting. Everyone at the party couldn't believe they were all cake, no filler, no styrofoam! I would hire Mike again in a heartbeat. read more

Mike's constructed a wonderful cake for Furball, the annual fundraiser for Homeward Pet Adoption Center. He created a beautiful dog house out of marble cake, and sculpted our star, Honey, out of modeling chocolate. The cake was a huge hit. It caused quite a buzz at the event, and helped raise a good amount in our 'dessert dash'. Oh and the cake was quite tasty too! read more

Mike's amazing cakes was one of the highlights of our wedding. The guests were so impressed! The DJ said it was the best hes ever seen and encouraged other guests to come check it out. Flavors: best cake I've ever had, not exaggerating. We chose strawberry banana and chocolate peanut butter and salted caramel. They were there right on the dot too! Very prompt. Would give 5 stars if better communication. Reply to emails and voicemails. The only way to communicate seems to be getting them while they're in the office over the phone read more

No need to look further, hands down the BEST cake person in the PNW! I couldn't be happier and thankful to Mike for the A.M.A.Z.I.N.G and D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S Frozen cake he created for my daughter's bday. It was truly a work of art and the cake itself was tasty and made to perfection. I also asked him to make chocolate chip and sugar cookies and they were just as good as the cake! Mike was super responsive, usually returning my emails or calls within a few hours. He was so easy to work with. I explained to him what my daughter wanted, and he sketched a beautiful design that he shared with me for my review and approval. He happily made all the specific changes I requested, and he delivered! We are so happy with everything and would not hesitate to recommend Mike's Amazing Cake! We can't wait to have Mike create another "art-piece" for us! Thanks again Mike! read more

Mike is truly AMAZING! Admittedly, we placed an order kind of last minute with Mike and he very kindly squeezed us in and created an incredible cake for us! It was a beautifully constructed creation that was made to look like a mushroom fairy house and it was gorgeous! Everyone in attendance at the event was in utter shock that Mike's cake was actually a cake and it was the HIT of the party! The flavor of the cake was on point, too, and we chose a coconut cake with passionfruit, and it was delicious! I highly recommend Mike's Amazing Cakes to anyone in the market for a cake for any reason and I strongly suspect that you (like us) will NOT be disappointed with his work. Thank you so much, Mike! You are truly a cake ARTIST! read more

He made my daughter's 10th birthday cake, for her glampover. He added fun details, was always checking in when he had new ideas to make the cake even more fabulous, and the final result was incredible. He worked with the budget I had and the cake was absolutely delicious. Can't wait for another celebration to have an excuse to buy from Mike's. Highly recommend his cake! I promise! read more

Our wedding guests said our cake was amazing. Mike's lives up to their name in two ways: taste and aesthetics. We knew we were going with Mike's after we sampled cake on a Saturday. It's delicious cake, even to someone who feels meh about cake. We recommend getting their samples and finding just the right mix of flavors for you. Our choices ended up being simple: marble cake with salted caramel mousse. The flavors are anything but simple: our guests thought maybe it was tiramisu or maybe cookies and cream. Mike makes something simple taste grand and exotic. Watching people puzzle over it was a joy, and made us proud of our choice. The finished cake was a work of art. We asked Mike for something with an Art Deco style, provided some samples of aesthetics we liked from buildings and vehicles, and asked him to apply his creativity. He created an edible sculpture, beautiful lines, cantilevered tiers, and impossible curves. It was unexpected and, somehow, exactly what we asked for. If your plans can make room for it, let Mike have creative freedom. You won't regret it. read more

For my dad's 70th birthday we surprised him with a cake, a replica of Tempest, his original hydro. My mom and I pieced together black and white photos of parts of Tempest. We casually inquired about the colors of the boat and engine without causing suspicion to ensure the end product was as accurate as possible. I sent tons of photos and a rough sketch to Mike and he created a beautiful masterpiece. He exceeded my expectations!! Mike listened and he made a beautiful cake (and it was moist and delicious)! He came highly recommended by a cake maker in LA. Thank you Mike!! Highly recommend! read more

Wedding cake was absolutely perfect and yummy! I would order from here again, coffee flavor, almond roca filling was amazing! read more

I really wanted to like our cake. The company has good reviews, beautiful work. I had no issues working with them. The cake ended up looking great (daughter's birthday), but it truly tasted awful, which was disappointing. It seems based on reviews that the taste is hit or miss - sometimes great, sometimes terrible. So I guess you just take your chances. read more

WOW!! Mike's cakes are nothing short of amazing, spectacular, incredible, and more! My birthday cake drew more attention than my bevy of sexy, hot girlfriends. Throughout the entire night, I had random strangers stop by my table to gawk at, comment, and take pictures of it. My friends were also in awe of it and took pictures of the cake nonstop. I was upstaged by my own cake! It's very lifelike in person! So much so that I was often asked of the "sushi's" authenticity. I honestly didn't expect much with the taste as I assumed the bakers spent more time on the decoration but boy was I wrong. It was light, with aromatic and great tasting passion fruit filling. It was obviously a hit. A guy passed by offered $5 for a slice because it looked so good. I cannot wait to see his next creation! read more

Mike makes cakes like you've never seen... truly Out of this world. For our weeding, we decided the cake will be chocolate with chocolate mousse filling. It was tasty. They had some strange flavors like coffee and almond roca. Our cake was in the shape of a roller coaster for my wedding. While we were there, I also saw the most incredible Pirate ship cake. This was 5 years ago and I'm still raving. Imagine how good this place is. Also, you can arrange to go in for sample. It's a great afternoon on it's own. :) I think I'm going to have Mike build a fire engine cake or maybe a garbage truck for my son's 3rd birthday.

I got my small wedding cake here many, many years ago. Back then they did cake toppers for small weddings (I basically eloped....got married at the Glamorama in Fremont). I remember it being in an old industrial strip mall and their office was no bigger than a closet with a couple of books to look thru. The cake was good - the decoration was basically just some real flowers on the cake (which I remember leaving an odd after taste). Who knows, maybe I'll get a cake from them for my 20th Anniversary................ read more

We ordered our wedding cake from Mikes Amazing cakes, and it was not only gorgeous, but delicious. We had a simple design, and 4 layers, with 2 flavors (Cost just under $1,000.). I chose coconut cake with key lime filling, and my husband chose spice cake with cream cheese mousse. Both were to die for! People complimented how beautiful our cake was, but they also mentioned how delicious it was. It actually was all eaten quite quickly, and we bought cake for more than the number of guests! Also, the team at Mikes was wonderful to work with! I'd strongly recommend going to a tasting. It's fun, and necessary in choosing your flavors. :) I'm trying to figure out how to attach a photo, but I don't see the option. I'll add one as soon as I can! read more

Mike's Amazing Cakes - Adrienne and Colm's Wedding, August 2008 - Bakeries Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Mike's Amazing Cakes not only lived up to, but surpassed their name in ther creation of the cake for our 4th of July wedding. My husband and I are both big Shel Silverstein fans, and my darling is an avid D&D player. We asked that Mike create a cake combining the cover image from Where the Sidewalk Ends with a dragon, and were more than thrilled with the result. Indeed, the cake was such a hit, we had to delay the cake cutting until about 20 of our guests had enough time to take pictures. Even better, not only was the cake gorgeous, it was amazingly moist and delicious to boot. I can't recommend them highly enough. I can hardly wait for an excuse to order another specialty cake from them. read more

We ordered our daughter's 1st birthday cake from Mike's Amazing Cakes. We had heard wonderful things about his cakes and loved the level of time and detail he put into them by looking at all the online photos of his work. So we placed an order and were blown away by how incredibly detailed the cake was and how wonderful it tasted. Everyone at the party went back for 2nd & 3rd helpings (everyone wanted to try the 3 different flavored tiers!) Our daughter's party room was filled with Oohs and Ahhs! Working with the team to design the cake was an awesome experience. I provided them with my vision and a couple of photo examples and they were able to puzzle piece the cake I had envisioned together based on that. The price was a bit more than I had budgeted, but the finished results and the look on everyone's face when we brought the cake out and the pure joy on their faces when they took their first bites was worth every penny. Our daughter's 1st birthday cake will go down as one of the most amazing birthday cakes on record among our little social circle of friends and family. Hands down it is the most adorable birthday cake anyone had seen! Mike nailed the vision and delivered on what became the centerpiece of an incredible lifelong memory and backdrop in what will be heirloom photos of our daughter and family indulging in this wonderful milestone in her life. Thank You so much for an incredible cake and amazing culinary experience! read more

Mike's Amazing Cakes are truly amazing in design and taste! So far we have ordered two cakes and both were made with quality ingredients and great attention to detail. The first was a 10" printed cake for my husband's 30th birthday. He is car guy so we surprised him with a picture of him driving his car printed on the cake. Theresa was very responsive to my emails to finalize the details of the design. I requested a banner on the cake and the end result perfectly matched the aesthetics! At the birthday party, everyone enjoyed and complimented the double chocolate cake. The second order from Mike's was our wedding cake. Originally we planned a 3-tier cake made with white pleated buttercream with marble cake and chocolate filling. At our appointment, Theresa was very helpful with determining the size of cake we needed to match our guest count. However, once the pandemic hit, which changed with our wedding plans, Mike's was willing to modify our order to a 6" single tier 4.5" tall cake for our wedding photo session. He called a week in advance to confirm our order and was very fast to answer questions I had by email. Pick up was easy and the cake held it's shape in the warm weather outside for a couple of hours. But just as important, it tasted AMAZING!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mike and his crew! They are incredible! I absolutely love the old fashioned buttermilk cake and their buttercream. But I mostly love how easy they are to work with. I took a 3 day class with them and couldn't be happier about the experience. From the very first email to now months later contacting then with random questions, they always make time for me. Their expertise and tutelage has helped me step up my game and take my business to the next level! Their creativity is second to none. And the level of detail they create is just amazing! They truly deserve the name!! I would highly recommend them! read more

Mike's Amazing Cakes - This is me with my finished cake at the shop! How cool is this! - Bakeries Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Recently ordered a cake and while we received the cake that we ordered (although they did make one small mistake on decorations) it tasted horrible. The cake was very dry and the buttercream frosting lacked flavor and tasted like a lot of butter was put on your dry cake. The cake was fun to look at but for the pricing which equals about $10/slice it didn't taste good and the decorations were simple. The fondant topping doesn't take like much either. They also only provide a very narrow window for cake pickup. I think Mike's Amazing Cakes has a lot of skill so I don't know why they can't make a better tasting cake. read more

Wow. These aren't just cakes -- they're art. Sculpture in cake form. We couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake. Even the venue employees were into it! Wasn't cheap but we definitely got what we paid for. Plus, the flavor options were very nice and it tasted great. read more

Mike's Amazing Cakes did a fantastic job of making the cake for my daughter's wedding this past Saturday (8.4.18). It was so delicious! It was also a big reason my 91 year old mother-in-law (bride's grandmother) made the trek for such a long day. She loves cake! The cake was vanilla with orange and peach schnapps filling. The stargazer lilies were handmade with sugar and exquisite. Just as my daughter envisioned. Stargazers are her absolute favorite, so she would know about detail. It was a very hot day, but the cake held up beautifully. The people we worked with at Mike's were so lovely. Had a great time at the cake tasting, and they were very clear with any and all communication. read more

The only reason I am giving them the 2 stars is because I have gotten cakes from them in the past that were fun and my guests always liked them. However, my latest experience has been a totally different story. I emailed them back and forth about a cake for friend's birthday. They asked how much I wanted to spend (which is weird - I am not a baker, how should I know how much a cake would cost for 30 people?). I heard nothing back. I called and was told I would get the confirmation soon. Still nothing. I tried to call and email a few more times. No response. This leads me to believe if your cake order isn't big enough $500+ they won't work with you. I wish they would've just said this to begin with. Would've saved me time - time I could've spent planning with another baker to get a cake I wanted to have for my friend's party. I was able to get a cake someplace else - from a more professional bakery, but with such short notice it wasn't exactly as we wanted it. My advice: skip them and work with a baker who is not over hyped. You will be treated respectfully- not like they are doing you a favor. read more

Mike's Amazing Cakes is amazing! I emailed a picture of a cake I found on Pinterest and they replicated it perfectly. The cake was not only beautiful but delicious. The bottom layer was white cake with white moose filling and he colored the cake green per my request. The second layer was chocolate with chocolate moose. The cake was moist and the fondant was delicious. I purchased the mini helmet from Amazon and added to he top (helmet is not cake) I strongly recommend Mike's Amazing Cakes. read more

DISAPPOINTED! I am returning customer after having my 18th birthday cake done here 8 years ago. The cake tasted wonderful, was beautifully constructed and the customer service was GREAT. Can't say I had the same experience when I came back for my wedding cake. Strike 1: Took me AT LEAST! 10 attempts to get ahold of them. I had sent in requests on the website and never received any emails back. Called the office, no answer. It wasn't about 4 weeks after my initial email that they finally emailed me back. I received an impersonal and very short email from Mike. At no point did he ask me if I wanted a consultation; I had to request that on my own. I was told to call the office, which I did, no one answered of course, so I left a voicemail. Took 1 week for them to call me back. Strike 2: Got there and the receptionist was not prepared for us. She said, "let me check to see if there is any cake for you to taste". Immediately my fiance and I was turned off. After coming back into the room and mumbling to herself that there is no cake she sat down and began the consultation. Strike 3: Consultation lasted 15 minutes MAX. This is the 4th cake consultation I've been to and ALL have been well over 45 minutes with cake tasting and a personal design session w/ the owners. OVERALL: VERY disappointed! Seems to me that Mikes Amazing Cakes took the 5 star ratings and ran. Time and time again I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but they kept disappointing me. Sad read more

Had the same problem as another reviewer. I asked for a cake and a quote- they asked me how much I wanted to spend and I had no idea what cakes cost. They said they'd get back to me with some ideas. After two weeks of emailing "Theresa" and receiving no response I'm left without a cake for a company event. My mistake for not immediately contacting another baker but I'd expect more from these guys- or anyone in business. Hint: If they tell you they'll get right back to you and then they don't respond with 24 hours start looking for another baker. They'll ignore you completely. read more

I really want to give 2.5 but I'll give them 3 b/c at least the cake tasted good. I went to them to order my wedding cake. We love Snoopy and had found a picture of what we wanted on the Internet. I wanted it done pretty much exactly the same as the picture - the first tier. The only difference was the Snoopy's collar was a different color and I wanted a bow tie on the boy Snoopy. First, I make an appointment for the tasting. That was fine ... I showed her the picture, tasted the cakes, she took notes, ... I'm like okay. And the price is reasonable. So then I decide to go ahead w/ the order a few days later. There were many times I called with no one answering, and no one returning my calls. I emailed to find out what's going on. Then one time I finally got on the phone w/ her (she finally called me back) and one of us lost the connection - well she called from a Private number so I'm figuring she's the one who's going to call me back cos otherwise I have to go and look up her number. I wait like 10 minutes and she hasn't called me back.... so finally I look up the number, call back, and she's like oh I Thought you'd call me back. I'm like oook.... Anyway, fast forward and on the call I'm very specific that I want my cake to look EXACTLY like the picture, except for the details I mentioned. In the picture, it's obvious that the Snoopy's are part of the cake - as in they're made of Cake too. I figured no problem, Mike sculpts tons of cakes. And the standard frosting they give is a beige/off-white color so I am looking for an entirely beige/off-white cake including the Snoopys right. The day of my wedding... after the ceremony, as I walk in to the reception room .. I glance at the cake - and the Snoopy's are plastic! And they're a totally different shade of white than the rest of the cake. And the details in the flowers on the cake are also different. I get it - maybe there was a design change, or some thought that went in and they thought - the bride and groom want to keep the Snoopy topper that cost so much. I don't disagree but i'd loved to have had a heads up and maybe then I could have at least changed it so the color of the topper is the same shade as the cake. It just looked totally weird to me. Call me picky bride but when I pay for a cake to look exactly like the picture (and it was really simple honestly) then I want to get what I paid for. Oh, and one of the Snoopy's ears fell off at the end of the night.... So much for keeping that perfect wedding topper. Regardless, I ordered the tiramisu and I actually thought the cake itself and buttercream were decent so I will give them stars for that... read more

Mike's Amazing Cakes is just that, amazing. Like many other reviewers, we had our wedding cake from MIke's and it was beautiful, relatively inexpensive for the quality and tasted delicious. We were married in New Orleans, so we opted for an ivory cake with chocolate 'trellis style detail' on the outside, we got exactly what we hoped for and again, the cake tasted sooo good! read more

They did my wedding cake and a grooms cake Pros: 1. Wedding cake was awesome, and they were the only shop willing to do the "8 bit" hearts on the cake for us. 3 of four layers tasted amazing, but no one was happy with the Red Velvet layer as it was very dry and crumbly. 2. They only charged $94.00 for the grooms cake because we got it and a wedding cake 3. They refunded us the cost of the grooms cake due to the mistake on it and due to the Red Velvet's lack of quality. 4. They were early delivering the cake, which was great because my husband-to-be didn't see his surprise grooms cake. Cons: 1. They screwed up the design on the grooms cake, which would be excusable, had I not handed them and emailed them copies of the design and when they asked for it again 3 days before the wedding, called them, explained it and emailed it again. The cake was supposed to be 2 tiers, with playing cards on it. Top tier : Jack and King card Lower tier: 2 "3" cards Bottom/leaning to side of cake: 4 Aces These specifications correlated to some inside jokes with my husband and his groomsmen. I explained this all to Mikes, and why it was so important, yet the cake arrived and the cards were just scattered around and frosted to the cake so they could not be moved. It was supposed to be a great surprise that to this day I feel really took away from how special it was. 2. The Red Velvet layer was really terrible, it tasted freezer burned, old, as though they used a long ago frozen cake and covered it with fresh frosting & fondant. And it was very dry and crumbly. Altogether it was a decent experience, but I'm not sure I'd hire them if I wanted anything else very specific done. read more

Over the years Mike has made me 3 cakes. All 3 delish! All 3 fun! My favorite cake in particular was fashioned after a bowl of Top Ramen Noodles. The story goes like this: My boss was turning 50. Rich as God but ate Top Ramen for lunch EVERYDAY! He wasn't being a tight wad he just loved the chicken sesame (they don't make it anymore and he will never forgive them). He loved Top Ramen so much that he saved a gazillion proof of purchases in order to get the special Ramen Bowl. So what do you get a guy like this for his birthday? A cake made to look like his favorite lunch! I took the birthday cake concept to Mike's Amazing Cakes including photo's of the special ramen bowl and several empty Sesame Chicken wrappers. They NAILED it! Best cake ever!! Tips: If you are unsure of what flavor to get ask for a tasting appt and bring a friend. When you are ready to order tell them what you want. Give them details and they will make it happen! And when given the choice between Cake and Death... ALWAYS CHOOSE CAKE!! read more

Love it! I found Mike's Amazing Cakes after a fall out with another bakery and I wished I had gone with them all along. I didn't want anything as hardcore or fancy as you see on some of the displays or what he does on TV but I did want something unique. Being a busy bride the best thing about the staff for Mike's Amazing Cakes was how on top of things they were. We set up an appointment, told them what we wanted and that was that. I didn't have to worry about anything at all. I also loved the fact it was 5 minute away from my house and 5 minutes away from my wedding venue but not everyone can be so lucky. The price wasn't that bad at all, I actually think it should have been more expensive. I have seen many cakes at weddings that were mainly decorative and had a disgusting fondant that ruined the actual taste of the cake. My cake still had that but it was so delicious you could not even tell. We had a peach schnapps mousse for the forsting and sometimes I wish I could buy another just to eat it again. It was so beautiful and really tied everything in my wedding together. I'll have good memories of it always. Private Message me for a picture. read more

Wish I could give a higher review as I want to support these types of businesses but my experience with Mikes was disappointing. Pros: the cake did taste pretty good (sans frosting). It was a bit dry but tasty. Our cake was ready when they said it would be. Cons: although we spent time meeting with them, sending photos and going over the details, the cake dimensions were wrong and screwed up the whole effect. It was supposed to be 5 board games stacked on top of each other askew, the top being the smallest. They just made all the layers the same size! It looked bad and awkward. The printed images on the frosting did turn out ok but the frosting sheets were just stuck on the cake and the protruding edges were sticking out all over each layer making it look completely tacky and last minute. We celebrate a lot of events and will not be using Mikes again. It was costly and disappointing. To top it all off, they weren't very nice to work with - I think they value the big orders- from large companies or fancy events and made it seem almost like my event (150 people) was a bother to them- like they were doing me a favor. It was difficult to get responses too-- I had to track them down numerous times leaving emails, phone messages-- it was stressful! There aren't a lot of options for specialty cakes but i recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I too have seen the amazing cakes that are produced at Mike's Amazing Cakes. These guys do some really incredible work. My experience, however, was a little less than amazing. My wife had a cake made for me for a welcome home party. We sent a pretty simple concept of what we wanted and then left it up to them for the "amazing" part. What they came up with was a little short. And after all of the build up to our friends of how cool the cake was going to be it was a huge let down. It was referred to the whole night as "Mike's a Little Bit Better Than Alberton's Cake's" which really upset my wife. If you purchase a cake make sure that you get a very, very detailed description of what you want to get for your money. The only real compliment I can give to Mike's is that their cake's really do taste great. The frosting is amazing. read more
