Do you like cake? Wait. I meant....Do you LOVE cake?????? I bet that got your attention! So I waited until the last minute to get a birthday cake for my wife this week. Between the storms and the virus, none were to be found from my nearby grocery store. I did a dive into Google and found Reeves was open. I called, had a great conversation with a gentleman and he told me he could have one ready by 2:00 (before my wife came home from work at the hospital). We were both new to Hummingbird cake, but I took what I could get these days. OMG...blown away. What have I been missing out on all these years? It is like banana bread on steroids. This was amazing and only $10 to boot. These cakes are legit, HIGHLY recommended! Even better, they have cake of the month. I will be back...love this hidden gem in Akron! read more

The cakes are wonderful, great tasting, the sweetest customer service. Very dependable with orders

I've been a fan for many years and love their cakes. They are very flavorful, moist and for $12 the cake of the month cannot be beat. I recently had one of their banana with pineapple filling and it was unreal! The best part is that its family run and they always have a smile on their face.

Feeling nostalgic, I ordered a small almond flavored white cake with raspberry filling to pick up today 7/3/2020, for a small gathering tomorrow. 12 years ago, I was at Reeves for a cake tasting and was quite pleased. I ordered over the phone and that was fine. I was so excited about the cake, I wanted to try a slice prior to my guests as no one would ever know. So, I wanted to taste each part of the cake prior to having a complete bite. The buttercream frosting tasted nice. It had the perfect amount of sweetness, although the frosting was a little hard. The raspberry filling was DREADFUL! It tasted artificial, like a cheap brand that came from a can. I've made raspberry filling several times before, and expected this filling to taste familiar. It did NOT. It reminded me of the artificial flavoring of raspberry zingers, no good. The flavor of the cake was a nice as it was a light almond taste that was not at all overpowering. The actual cake was VERY DRY AND VERY CRUMBLY! It tasted as if they baked it several days to a week prior, assembled, frosted and put in the fridge to wait for someone to purchase it. I did also post photos. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER ORDER FROM REEVES CAKE SHOP. I ordered this for a small gathering and I didn't want to spend the time baking the cake myself with all the other party duties I need to complete. Unfortunately, I will have to bake a similar cake, but making the raspberry filling from scratch (which is super simple to do) as I refuse to serve this dry, artificial filling flavored cake to my dearest friends. BUYER BEWARE if you aren't ordering a custom cake. You may end up with a pre-made, dry, artificial filling cake that you WILL NOT like. read more

I saw all the great reviews about this cake shop and being new to the area I called them to make my daughter's birthday cake .... It was a simple quarter sheet cake with a guitar and some musical notes and writing on it ... The cake was still being decorated when I arrived at the designated pick up time (alittle irritated because the woman that took my order told me several times if I wasn't there by 1:00 they would be closing up and I would not get my cake)... The decorative work was very nice, but the cake (marble) was dry and the icing (buttercream) slightly grainy.... The chocolate ganache filling tasted good, but was layered too thin.... With all the great reviews I expected an amazing cake.... Sad to say, but my grandbabies cake from Walmart tasted better.... read more

Got my husbands birthday cake here. It was vanilla with whipped cream frosting and custard filling. He absolutely loved it! He isn't a cake person but this worked for him. Not overly sweet. The custard layers for filling was very good. read more

Reeves Cake shop, the family that owns it are wonderful. I have know them for over 40 years, they did my wedding cake, my son's wedding cake, baked many dozzen cookies for me, as well as special occasion items. I can not say enough about there work and cake creations that put out. Readying through some of the reviews, I can see that a few was unhappy about this or that, but I also see alot of emotion in their posts due to wedding or party stress. I hogh recommend the Reeves Cale shop for all of your cake, cookie, cupcake needs. You will be happy that you did. read more

WOW what an amazing cake! Reeves made our wedding cake, and it was OUTSTANDING!! One of the biggest compliments that we got on our entire meticulously planned wedding was from a cousin who is a self-proclaimed dessert snob, who uniformly declared that this was BY FAR the BEST cake she had ever had! read more

I'm an very unhappy with my experience with Reeves cake shop! 1st of all this was a very special occasion, my daughters wedding! A very exciting day! Everything was perfect.... except for our cake/cupcake order. I was very specific in the colors that I wanted , none of which was done. My daughters cake topper was plain with absolutely no decorations at all, as well as the cupcakes. The cupcakes didn't even have enough icing on them. The cookies were decorated as they were supposed to but quality was poor, they were hard, icing wasn't adhering. We called them to let them know they didn't follow through with what they were supposed to and they said bring the cake topper back , we can fix that, but we can't do anything about the cupcakes . Well I'm sorry but this was an expensive order and your telling me you not try to fix your mistake? Took the cake topper back and they threw some 'decorations ' on there. It was sloppy. They gave me a little container of edible sprinkles , you know so we could try and decorate the cupcakes ourselves since it was too much of an inconvenience for them to do what I payed them for. All in all I'm very unhappy and will not return business . I myself am a business owner and I would never treat a customer that way. They never offered a discount, a refund , Nothing! I would think twice about where you purchase your cakes and such for important events, no one should have gone through what myself and my daughter did on her special day , I was embarrassed putting them out :,( The 1st picture was what it was supposed to be the 2nd is what I got after going back read more

Called to order a custom cake 3 weeks before my event and was told to email a picture of what I wanted. After a week of hearing nothing, I called again and was told they were very busy and would get back to me when they could. 3 days later, finally received a response so I placed my order with questions about delivery or pick up. 4 days before my event, crickets. No response or confirmation my cake would be made on time, or at all. Had to take my business elsewhere and couldn't get the cake I wanted because there was not enough notice for anyone else because I was waiting for Reeves to respond. Not impressed! Will not be contacting them again. read more

I've spent the last 5 years patronizing this bakery from birthdays, anniversaries, to mother's day and father's day. I have ALWAYS liked the cakes, but there's been one constant problem that absolutely troubles me. It's a person. I don't know her name, but she's one of the family members who takes orders when a customer comes in. I've always gone in to specify what I want on my family cakes, and I've seen her each time. She's also usually always there when my husband or I pick up our cakes. At first I thought it was just that she was having a bad day, but when it kept happening consecutively, and when my husband noticed her, I realized it was more than a bad day. My last occurrence was when I went in to order a small wedding cake. I wanted a small cake that served approximately 30 - 40 guests. I walked in, and there she was. I knew this was not going to be a good encounter. I was raised to respect my elders, and knowing that this lady's family is making money from my family's special occasions, I was not in the mood to play this game anymore. Yet, how was I going to deal with this lady and still respect her? I proceeded to tell her what I was looking for, and I needed her guidance. I had a theme, but I needed help tying things together. With her being the expert, I figured maybe I would see a better side of her professionalism and her personality. Once again, she was not helpful. I thought maybe it was because I wasn't spending thousands of dollars on a wedding cake, but as much as I've ordered cakes previously in person at over $40 a cake, I would think I could get a little respect as a regular customer. Not only was she not helpful, she was like a teenager on her first day of work. She wanted to get me done and out. She had very few suggestions. She didn't take time with me. Mind you, this is my wedding cake! I'm a bride. I'm starting a new life. I'm sentimental. I'm excited and I need guidance. End result, I felt obligated to order a quick cake and make her happy. I got home, discussed the situation with my fiancé, and he told me to call and cancel the cake. It's been 10 months and I now get my cakes from an awesome bakery who loves my business. Reeves lost out on a lot of money and a good customer who buys cakes for all occasions. I wish I knew the name of the elderly woman at Reeves to share with you so you don't feel like I felt for all those years. My wedding cake was the last straw. read more

PROCEED WITH CAUTION! I went to all of the Bridal shows last fall that reeves cake shop participated in. I also attended a cake tasting at their shop. I was prepared to put my order in after the today's bride bridal show in October, but unfortunately my family and I were ignored but their representatives. I went on both Saturday and Sunday to see if they would treat us the same way and they did. I was heartbroken because their cakes are so beautiful and I wanted to have them make my wedding cake. But I won't tolerate being treated that way and neither should you! I'll Never even consider them for anything in the future! I work at a bridal shop and I'll make sure every bride knows NOT to go there! read more

The best custom cakes in the area by far and maybe in the country! Support a great local business!

The cake was very average, not very flavorful. Definitely not the best when compared to other top bakeries in akron.

Process with caution!! I went to a cake tasting at their ship a few months ago and I really enjoyed it. However, I went to the bridal show two weeks ago and I was very displeased with their attitudes. NO ONE talked to my family & I! They funny this is we were ready to place an order right then and there! After 10 minutes of being ignored my family and I took our business elsewhere. I'm surprised this business is still open judging now how they treat their customers. My friend who's also engaged called and asked if their was a delivery fee for cakes needing delivered to Cleveland. They lady on the phone was very rude to her and said yes, $100, I men's you're in Cleveland. And the manager Rick responded to my email very condescending as if it was my fault they didn't talk to us. I just am completely disgusted by that place. all local Akron brides don't get your cake there! read more
