"This isn't supermarket cake comparable" The last time I visited was pre-covid and you were able to enter the establishment. Times have changed. You can view the available selections through the window, ring the bell, and place an order. We opted for the carmel frosted yellow cake. The cake itself was substantial, but light. Not a heavy cake by any means, but not spongy either. Great texture, great buttery flavor, and good frosting. Service was kind and pleasant. Cake ran close to $10 for a slice. Whole cakes $70-$80. Prices are elevated. If you have extra in the budget it's totally worth the splurge. read more

You won't find better cakes than this! The service is always welcoming and fast and the shop and concept is pretty cool. I've even ordered a whole cake for my boyfriend's upcoming birthday. My absolute favorite place for so many kinds of cakes read more

Premier Cakes - Carrot cake - Desserts Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Stumbled across this place and very new to the area. Ordered some cake slices thru the window and the owner was very friendly! Unfortunately the inside isn't open due to lack of staff but the cakes are awesome! Got the blueberry lemon cake slice, wedding cake slice, old fashioned chocolate cake slice, and red velvet. It was a little pricey but the cake slices are not thin. I will definitely go back to support a local small business. read more

I ordered carrot cake. This one slice was $8.50. They have no silverware. For the price, silverware would be a plus. The cake was okay, it's not on my immediate return list. The man was very nice. The experience of going was good because of service and variety, There's no inside space, it's a walk up window which is a good idea read more

I picked up the red velvet, sweet potato, wedding cake tres leches, and bread pudding, all for a total of $34. The cakes are delicious. Every time I visit this spot, there's always a line of cars waiting to order sweet treats. While the hours are a bit unusual, I was lucky enough to catch them open. Note, the facility is not nut-free, so those with allergies should be cautious. However, none of the cakes I purchased contained nuts. You can't go inside to order; you'll need to place your order at the window. The facility looks clean from the outside, and the window clerk was very friendly. I'll definitely be coming back. Bread pudding was my favorite Update: the sweet potato cake taste similar to carrot cake. Cakes are alil crumbly read more

yummy, I like the german chocolate cake the best. I always get very courteous service.

My friend took me to this place to get a piece of cake for my 66th birthday. Much to my pleasure and surprise they had tiramisu. The young lady said it was frozen, but I bought it for later anyway. I have had tiramisu from at least 5 locations in Raleigh and the piece I got here is by far and hands down the best I have ever eaten. While you could taste the individual ingredients they came together in a symphony of great taste in my mouth. I felt like I'd died and gone to heaven. The price threw me off, but know that it was well worth every penny. They have a customer for life!! read more

Premier Cakes - A slice of Tiramisu from Premier Cakes - Desserts Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Just stopped in after hearing about this place from a friend a few months ago. Specifically for the lemon blueberry slice and tiramisu. I approached and the woman inside was taking a phone order, as the order was ending the caller apparently asked about the availability of said cake. I heard her explain there was one slice left so, jokingly, but very serious, I said, 'that's my slice!' She apologized and stated the caller was on the phone first. I was here for that slice and had orders from others for 10 other slices and was planning to order both the tiramisu and lemon blueberry as wholes if possible. Instead, now those other folk are going to be upset because I simply left. No way I'm standing right here in person and can't get served... read more

awesome cakes. The red velvet cake is the best tasting cake ever. I love it. Taste just like grandma use to make.

My family and I always get our birthday cakes from Premier. We have been with them for few years now and they have not disappointed us. Their ice cream cake is dearest to our hearts. Owners are friendly and respectful. I will recommend their service any day. Thank you Premier Cakes! read more

I ordered a lemon 3 layer cake with buttercream icing from Tracy for my wife's birthday and was very pleased with the cake. My whole family agreed that it was a great cake. I highly recommend Premier Cakes. Mitch Sanner read more

Hours need to be updated. We have driven over several times based on Yelp and Google hours. Not very friendly about it either. Seemed very nonchalant and like they could care less if they have our business. Sad because the cakes are amazing! read more

I was slightly disappointed with the cake's appearance. The cake up charge for flowers wasn't what I was expecting based upon the picture from their website. I told the gentleman who took my order over the phone that I want it just like I see it on the website. Those flowers are big and floral. What I actually got was no better than what I could have gotten at Food Lion or Walmart. Icing is so thin that you actually see crum. Not what I was expecting at all read more

This was my 1st visit. The young lady who was working was very nice. I am also a baker, and I understand that not every cake, every time, turns out perfectly. I paid $6.40 for a medium sized (but pretty large) slice of pineapple coconut cake. The cake tasted good, very good. However, I felt the layer itself was a little dry. The icing was too sweet for my liking, something similar to a buttercream, but seemed more sugary. Not enough coconut for my personal taste. The pineapple part was delicious though! I'm in this shopping area frequently, but I'm just not sure I'm willing to spend $6.00 plus to have a piece of what I considered to be just okay cake. read more

First time here today. The sweet potato cake was delicious. There were hard white pieces in it though (like plastic - it was hard and inedible). Not sure what it was. Both slices of cake we got were cold/moist. I would come back to try other flavors. read more

Ordered a day before birthday and they were able to work out some red velvet cup cakes that were amazing. Can be on pricey, but so worth it for a special occasion. read more

So good! Went in earlier today and we were treated with amazing customer service and fantastic cake! Big slices and reasonable prices. We tried the Vanilla Wedding cake (the buttercream frosting is to die for) and the Red Velvet! read more

So I asked my son what he wanted to do today and his response was eat cake. So on our errands, we stopped by Premier. We were one of the first customers. I was kind of bummed because they didn't have all of the days caked ready yet. So many varieties to choose from. We got bread pudding, pound cake and chocolate cake. Everything was so good. I loved the frosting. That is often the thing that makes or breaks the cake. The frosting on the chocolate cake was a nice balance and not overly sweet. The glaze on the pound cake was similarly good. I think we will definitely be back. read more

What a sweet family. Purchased some cake slices and cupcakes and they were awesome. I will be placing an order for a coconut pineapple cake for my Mothers birthday. If it's anything like those cupcakes we had today It will be amazing. Their array of options is mind blowing. They even had candles to make a mini cake for a birthday. Thoroughly enjoyed our stop in today read more

This place is awesome. The owners are friendly and they can bake their butts off! I've had their lemon cake, strawberry cake (AMAZING), sweet potato cake, and their wedding and honestly ALL of them are tasty and fresh! Stop by and grab a slice. We've also had cakes made for special occasions and they did not disappoint as well. Great service and even better food. read more

Purchased a piece of strawberry cake. So disappointing! Not only was the cake dry and stale, it tasted artificially flavored along with the fake flavored icing. Definitely not worth the price or the bother. read more

This is a hidden gem. I stopped in to get some coffee, but saw some pre made meals to go and chicken salad. I got the chicken salad. Best in town. The staff was very nice and professional. The shop was clean and there is plenty of seating. They made pastries that look out of this world and the cakes are beautiful. I will definitely be back. read more

These folks know how to bake! I'm not a "cake person", even in my most gluttonous days...but if I decide to cheat with bad carbs, this is where I go...these other places can keep their fancy decor, 500 types of cake, etc.. these cakes are baked from scratch on the property and definitely taste like it...we've tried several different types of cake and everything tastes spectacular! Please check them out... read more

Y'all the coconut pineapple cake touched my heart it's so good. Anytime I'm in the area I have to get cake from here. I have not met one flavor I don't absolutely love. The service is so sweet and genuine. read more

Premier Cakes - Strawberry purée cake - Desserts Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Just can't be beat and is the Gold Seal of cakes!

We ordered a cake to pick up last night. When we got home and opened the box we were very disappointed. The cake we got looks absolutely NOTHING like the cake pictured online. What a joke. False advertising!!! I'll never use this company again. Plus the icing is all crumbs. I'm actually embarrassed to bring this cake to the birthday I promised I'd get the cake for. read more

I used Premier Cakes for my daughter's wedding dinner. I went with the Hummingbird cake and it was a big hit! Very moist and yummy with bananas, pineapple, walnuts, cinammon and cream cheese frosting! It was enough for 18 guests!! They decorated it to my specifications. I would definitely use them again and would recommend without reservation. read more

Yesterday after dinner it was too beautiful to stay inside, a short walk was in order. Familiar enough with several stores in the area, we had not discovered what a wonderful surprise awaited us around the corner, in a very unassuming bake shop. Greeted by one of the owners, we looked at all of the wonderful cakes and stood for a few minutes wondering what goodies to take home. It was a very difficult choice. Both chocolate and white cakes with matching frosting were placed into a bag, the decision was made. At my advanced age, there have been many desserts consumed through the years - this was memorable. What wonderful delight! We will be back. read more

I love cake, I enjoy baking cake, and I know what it takes to make a good cake. Premier has exceeded my expectations at every opportunity. I stopped in for the first time to try their almond cake. I've been married 10 years and the bakery that made my wedding cake is now closed, so I've missed the occasional walk down memory lane. Now I know where I can satisfy that craving! Every cake slice I've had has been fresh and delicious! Met Tracy and Bobby at the Bluegrass Festival at a BBQ Dinner, where they were kind enough to let my husband and I share their table, and offer terrific conversation. It was nice to see people who work together so closely choose to spend their little free time together and out exploring our city's cultural events. They are so kind, and dedicated to supporting our community. You couldn't ask for better people to buy from, even if their cakes weren't delicious. Finally, I placed a last minute Christmas order for several clients, and the transaction couldn't have been better. It was completely my fault for not taking care of this sooner, but Bobby worked out a price that was definitely fair to me, and I hope fair for the business. I'll definitely time my order better next time so that I don't inconvenience this wonderful business! Their staff is kind and knowledgeable, and overall you just know you are supporting the kind of people you always want to be in business. read more

I have been going to premier cakes for years and they out do many bakeries in the area. Their sweet potato cake is to die for. No where have I ever had a sweet potato cake until I found them. They're the best in town. read more

Red velvet and strawberry cake can be eaten daily from this place if it was possible and not gain weight! Lol I love the variety of cakes they offer. The lady who bakes is Uber friendly and she is always smiling. It's worth the drive from my house to get a slice or two! read more

Haven't tried everything in the bakery just yet, but I sure would love too. Their red velvet cake is by far one of the best that I've tasted. I've tried their chocolate cake, yellow cake and strawberry cake, all of which were also delicious. The service is the only reason I'm giving this place four stars instead of five. Definitely needs to be improved. read more

Another one of those times where I feel like the odd man out. The hubby and I stopped by for a quick dessert and I ended up choosing a Blueberry Lemon slice and the Sweet Potato slice. First of all, these are (to me) expensive! Premier Cakes charges by weight, and most slices (standard size) start at $5.50. Now, I will pay for delicious sweets, but only if they wow me. These did not. The Blueberry Lemon was the best (we paid almost $8 for this slice though), but the sweet potato pie seemed dry...and when everyone is raving about how moist the cakes are, it makes me think I got a fluke. So perhaps they're just inconsistent? I'm not sure. read more

We needed a cake for anniversary and came here during the day for a night pickup. Due to our short time we didn't have much choice except the pineapple The service was great and accommodating Due to the freshness of pineapple you can't write anything on top of cake (future buyers should know this) Overall people liked the 9" cake. Cost was about $40. It was moist but maybe my expectation was higher given the review I would come and try the hummingbird as the person working there said it was their best seller read more

Have tried just about everything behind the glass counter. Nothing disappoints. True artisans. These folks know how to deliver delicious cakes. I don't really care for German Chocolate cake, but I can't stop ordering theirs. It is incredible. If you want the best, this is the place. Outstanding! read more

My husband and I were looking to satisfy our sweet tooth and happened to find Premier on our way home from an early dinner. Although it was later in the day, there was a variety of cakes, pies and cupcakes to choose from. We finally decided on the Sweet Potato and Strawberry cake slices and man oh man, we were not disappointed! These cakes are so fresh and full of flavor. They melt in your mouth! You can definitely tell they are baked from scratch daily and with a lot of love. The prices are very reasonable and the owners are very nice people. I highly encourage everyone to stop in for your large party orders or just for a single serving. It's like a slice of confectionery heaven just like grandma used to make! read more

We just moved here from Tampa, FL and I noticed the Premier Cakes sign across the parking lot during our shopping trip today. After we had finished shopping at a few of the nearby stores we stopped in around 5-5:30 to check out the bakery. We were greeted immediately as we came in and as soon as the staff finished with the previous customers we were told about all the flavors and about how the cake is made fresh from scratch daily. They had quite a few options available given the time of day it was and they all looked good. We decided to go with the Strawberry Puree cake slice we saw behind the display case that was being transferred from the freezer area to the display. For reference, the strawberry puree cake slice is the dark pink cake with the white icing since I was not able to get a picture of it. We were able to checkout quickly and the staff recommended we wait 10-15 minutes since the cake had just come out of the freezer. When we got home I stuck it in the fridge and we ate it later that evening. It was excellent. The cream cheese icing was sweet but not overwhelming and the perfect consistency. We had the cake with a Pinot Noir at home and it paired perfectly with the strawberry. I will be going back to try different flavors in the future but the Strawberry Puree cake slice is already one of the best I have had. 5 stars for both excellent cake and customer service. read more

My husband and I came in for a slice to celebrate his birthday. We knew that we would have some tasty cake, what we didn't know was that this bakery would set the standard for how good cake can be! We met the amazing chef who explained all of the flavors. The cakes are baked in house from scratch. We all tried the pineapple buttercream, lemon pound cake, chocolate cake, and hummingbird cake. My favorite was the pineapple buttercream but they were all FANTASTIC! We won't be buying cake from anyone else while in Raleigh. To be honest, I eant her to teach me how to make these cakes so that my family can have them for generations lol Don't hesitate, this is the real deal, eat here now. read more
