My sister's wedding was yesterday. After the ceremony was over we all walk into the venue and see the cake. White with yellow trim. The yellow was not the theme at all. It was supposed to be lime green. A huge disappointment. They got lazy with the making of this cake. read more

These cakes are so amazing! They did our wedding & groom's cake and we got so many compliments on them. Judy was willing to meet with us & discuss options for as long as we needed. And all we had to do was mention a type of cake and we got a sample. Great experience all around read more

I had heard how amazing this place was from a friend, and so I asked my husband for one of their cakes for my birthday. Nothing special, I just wanted a delicious cake. SO not impressed. First off, for an 8 inch round, which was the smallest they could do, with absolutely NO decorations, it was $50. Second, the cake was ok, but was so overly sweet, I could barely eat it (and I LOVE sugar). It was white cake with white chocolate mousse & raspberries inside. And third, the frosting, was disgusting. I've had buttercream, both French & American, and this was nothing like I've ever had before. We didn't know that their French Buttercream was actually going to be NOTHING BUT BUTTER. Yes, their online menu says 100% butter, but we thought there would be flavoring or something added to it. It tasted like they took a stick of butter & smeared it all over the cake. Worst cake I've ever had. read more

Horrible customer service. We had an appointment but still sat there for 30 minutes before anyone came out and acknowledged our presence. The tasting didn't go well and then as we were leaving the lady tried to sneakily force me to sign a contract!!! Don't go here! read more

So disappointed in birthday cake. Suppose to have a strawberry filling. Large strawberries were quartered and piled between layers. Was a complete mess when trying to serve. Never have experienced such a thing. To make it worse, it did not taste good. read more

We had set an appointment for a tasting for upcoming wedding. Service was awful, first consultation for tasting was not up to par. The guy taking care of us seemed uninterested since the get go. We were told we would get an email back with the estimate for the design we chose and still after 3 months never heard back from them. My sister had recommended it from past weddings. This is absolutely a cake store we will not be contacting. read more

This bakery was suggested to me by a friend. Judy the owner, made cake on my daughters 1st birthday and it was stand out in a party of 100+ guest. I had a custom cake based off of what I found on google. Went with a three tiered round cake (Vanilla, Tiramisu and Fresh strawberries). The cake turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it and tasted delicious. It remained moist and loved the slices of Fresh strawberries inside. Everyone loved it!!! Can't express this enough! Make your order today! You will not be disappointed. This is now my go to bakery Thank you to Judy for being so helpful in completing my order! read more

If I need cake, I call Judy and Jad at Simon Lee Bakery. Their cakes are gorgeous and they taste AH-mazing. I love to cook and bake, but why make a mess in my kitchen when they'll do all of the work for me, and I know it will be perfect. I've used them for kids parties, themed parties, my birthday, and just because. They have the juiciest chocolate-dipped strawberries, too. Judy and Jad put their hearts into every cake, and it shows. read more

We went in for the tasting because we heard they were the best. Might be true but the service was very inappropriate. No communication, the rep was very standoffish and we literally had to bring up questions to get one answer responses. I believe that the family runs a good business and provide great items but they might want to consider the guy that presents is sharper and has personal skills. We aren't buying from them BECAUSE of this. In the service industry before and you take care of your own. This was not the case. read more

The cake was good, but it was WAY overpriced!!!!!! The service was absolutely HORRIBLE!!!! I stood around for over 20 mins. before the would help me and then once she found out I just wanted to order a birthday cake for my mom she lost interest and was not very forthcoming about answering questions I had. When I went to pick the cake up at the time she told me I needed to be there b/c she had deliveries to make the cake was not ready. I had to wait another 30 minutes and when they brought the cake out all boxed up, I checked it and the cake had the wrong message on it. She didn't even apologize, she put it off on me saying that's what I told her to put. I assured her I knew my mothers age and name and would not have gotten confused. Very rude people!!!! read more

Tag Line for Simon Lee Bakery is "When It Has To Be Picture Perfect...". I can attest that is is by far one of the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen. However, the taste of the cake left much to be desired. It tasted like I was eating sticks of butter. The icing layers in some spots were thicker than the actual cake. I picked out the cake pieces and enjoyed them and threw the rest away. Hard to swallow when we paid $6 per slice for a special occasion cake! read more

Judy and Jad are my heros. Their cakes are the best. And let me tell you, I have had some cake (being the wedding planner that I am). Nope, I won't touch another "wedding cake" unless it is the best... Simon Lee!!! read more

We met some girls from Simon Lee bakery at a venue's open house. They were very sweet and the cake was delicious. My fiancé and I decided to make an appointment with them to get more information on their cakes. However, our appointment was NOT a good experience. The customer service was greatly lacking. The guy we met with didn't seem to care about our business and wasn't very professional. We waited for a while before he even started talking to us and while we waited he seemed to be doing something on his phone. He said he would send us a quote and we never heard from them again. Without the quote, we had already decided not to go with them. read more

Everyone told me that the cake was the best that they had ever tasted. Judy was able to work with my price point and get me the cake that I wanted, and there was even some cake left over at the end! read more

I LOVE Simon Lee Bakery. I chose Simon Lee to make my wedding cake and chose their petit fours, which are actually the size of a generous serving of cake. They are so fantastic, they melt in your mouth like a Crispy Creme donut! I still got a cake topper, to save for my first anniversary and I swear that it was so fresh on our anniversary, you would never have guessed it had been frozen for a year. I opted for a very simple design, with just my husband and my initials. But I have seen some of the incredible cakes they make, one looks exactly like the UT Tower. Their cakes are delicious, but just as importantly, the owners (Judy and Jad) are wonderful people. It is great to work with sweet and caring people, especially when you are already stressed out planning a wedding. They are the BEST. read more

So happy I decided to use Simon Lee for my wedding cake and our grooms cake. I have to agree with some of the other reviews in regards to the professionalism. We felt the same way, when we walked in there was no one there to greet us, we stood around awkwardly for about 5 minutes. We had an appointment so they knew we were coming, a little strange. The tasting went well. We enjoyed may flavors and decided to go with a 3 tier cake each with a different flavor. I knew I wanted a simple cake with some bling and she made it happen for a decent price! We also did a grooms cake, the Dallas Cowboys field, which turned out great! It had real goal posts and everything. Defiantly a hit at the reception! They were also very nice and helpful when we were int he final week of the wedding and realized we missed the last two payments! Oops! They had no problem and let us make the payments late with no addition charge or hassle. I would also like to point out that the consultation and tasting was free. We went to another place which charged us $25 for our tasting, which they forgot we had scheduled, and had us try the flavors via cupcake. Free consultation is very important because it shows how the company values your time and wants your business. I cant wait to have another event where I can use them for another great cake! read more

My husband and I ordered a cake from Simon Lee for our Wedding. They have so many cool ideas and flavors to choose from. The cake tasting was great! We decided on the orange cream with white cake. It was the bomb! This place is a gem of flavors and good service! If you are looking for a neat design and flavor, come to this bakery!!! I highly recommend it! read more

The greatest cakes being made, period. Don't mess around with anyone else, deal with the old-style paper filing system, and prepare to have your taste buds and those of your guests blown away. Also, on anniversaries they are more than happy to replicate a small version of your cake for a reasonable price and you get to re-live the magic all over again! read more

Simon Lee made the UT Tower cake for our daughter's wedding last June, and it was the "hit" of the evening! Even our Aggie friends had to admit that the cake was awesome. When the cake was delivered and being arranged, people in the room started singing "The Eyes of Texas" and we knew the cake had arrived! Thanks to Simon Lee for making this special day in our lives ever so more special! GG read more

After having a disappointing encounter with another bakery I was led to Simon Lee and I couldn't be happier! They went above and beyond any expectations I had upon the first meeting. I brought my 4 year old daughter with me to the wedding cake tasting and not only did they bring out the cake samples for us to try but also a personal cake complete with a pink tiara (every princess' dream!) for her. While all of the cake samples they brought out were delicious there was something particular I had in mind for my dream cake. Art could sense that there was something I was missing and immediately, without hesitation, when I told him what I was looking for he went to the back and had them put together a personalized sample of EXACTLY what I was wanting! Their cake is super light and fluffy, but moist and utterly AMAZING! I wouldn't want any other bakery for my dream day! read more

I had ordered my wedding cake from here. Judy Lee is a great designer and baker, but terribly disorganized. She was hard to reach and never really answered my emails. I called her about adding a cake topper. She said just to email her photos and dimensions of it. When I did, I heard no response. Closer to the day of my wedding I had my husband call and he was told to take the cake topper into the shop. When I did, they seemed confused as to why I was there. The cake tasted and looked amazing, but the business-side of things could definitely be improved. read more

Simon Lee Bakery has my business for life since they did the wedding cake and groom's cake at my wedding. I have a big sweet tooth, so the cake was a very important part of my Big Day. Simon Lee produced THE BEST cake I have EVER had in my entire life. No exaggeration. The wedding guests agreed. I'm still getting compliments on them! The cakes nearly melted in your mouth! Both masterpieces were EXACTLY how I'd envisioned them; Simon Lee created the cakes to my specifications flawlessly. Even the cake tasting was amazing -- I wanted ALL of the flavors! Simon Lee is a class act, and I can't wait to use them again! read more

I came to Simon Lee bakery for my wedding cake, on the recommendation of my sister. The hardest part in dealing with them was deciding on which flavor to choose: there were 6-8 flavors during the cake tasting including strawberry, white (not my favorite), yellow, chocolate, etc... the pina colada (with real chunks of pineapple) and the chocolate were the stand outs: flavor packed, not too sweet, and moist. Judy was attentive and designed a gorgeous cake (we ordered one that required parts of the cake to look like wood - not a traditional tiered cake covered in fondant) - the attention to detail and artistry really impressed me. Most importantly though, it was delicious. am looking forward to eating the piece in the freezer one year from now, Thank you, Simon Lee Bakery! read more

The cake was not what we expected and not what we ordered. This was for a Sweet 16 and it did not look good when the tiers of the cake shifted. Art was fantastic but the cake, not so much. read more

Seriously, I think not. I was really excited to go here for my consultation but when we got there it looked like a condemned old bakery first of all, barely and lights with a million show cakes on one wall. Granted, THEY ARE GORGEOUS. But me and my fiance were forced to stand around because they only had a small sitting area which was taken up by someone else who wandered in off the street and took our much needed consultation (We had drove 2 hours). So after WAY TO LONG of waiting, we were asked what cake we would like to try and then left WAITING AGAIN. So you would assume, if you were waiting so long for cake it would be fantastic. But the chocolate we tried was CHOCOLATE to the extreme. MILK PLEASE! And I'm a chocolate lover so thats saying something. And the white cake with strawberries was just that. White cake with some whipped cream and strawberries in the middle. After an HOUR AND A HALF of mostly waiting, while STANDING we were given an estimate of almost 900 dollars!! For a small 3 tier cake. HAHAHAHA Thats funny. Sorry but no thanks, I think I'll pass... read more

Before I went to my appointment today I took some time to read some of the reviews on this Bakery. Well I have to agree with another person totally. Everything happened just as she had posted here. I tried calling to let Judy know i was on my way the didn't answer the phone. When we got there my friends and I, we were standing there for 5-10 minutes before someone acknowledged us. The picture bookes were dated there were several books but they each had the same pictures in them, the place looked old and somewhat dirty. When Judy finally did sit down with us she immediately asked how much we wanted to spend. Not once did she ask what flavors we wanted or anything to that nature. My friend had to tell her we wanted to taste samples. Judy then gets up goes in the back for like 20 minutes while she was in the back we kept hearing the microwave timmer go off. We thougt they may have been heating up lunch. But that was not the case I guess they were thawing out the cake samples. Finally she comes back with 3 saucers of cake samples there was the Orange cake it was really wet, the chocolate cake tasted like it had been in the refrigerator too long and it was not moist at all, The Pina Colada cake was too wet as well, The Strawberry cream one was not moist even the whip cream was dry, The Cream cheese one was not that great but it was a bit moist. Then Judy sits down and asked what I wanted to spend and said we have cakes that start at $800.00 up to $1000.00 my friend asked well what does a $500.00 cake look like and she really didn't say she just said it would have a couple foam tiers. Then the iceing on the cake (so to speak) was when I had showed her the cake I wanted she said it would be over $700 but she could do it like another one she pointed too that was the same tiers as the one I was interested in and she said she could do it for $600 I was left a bit bewilder as to what was the big difference in the two cakes that one had to be almost $800? she then gets up to go in the back for us to be able to discuss things well she never returned. My friend had to yell excuse me twice before she came out. I guess if you are not willing to spend over $1000.00 for a cake they don't want to be bothered which is the vibe I got and so did my friends. Needless to say...They wont be getting my business at all. Oh By the way the Strip mall that the Bakery is located looks deserted and like all the businesses were going or had gone out of businessl I was very disappointed. read more

Decisively rude over the phone. I called to inquire about purchasing a cake, and rather than talk about any cake sizes or options that could fit within my budget, they informed me that their cakes were entirely too pricey for me to afford. As a former cake decorator who knows cakes, and as a marketing and communications designer, I am appalled. I have no idea what their price structure is, especially with their sparse poorly designed website. I had to search for their phone number on google; it was not listed on their website. Perhaps they don't want people to call them because they are already aware of how rude they are. Whether I have the planned budget in the future or now, I will highly recommend against Simon Lee. read more

Best Cakes Ever! We used Simon Lee Bakery for both our wedding and groom's cakes. They were both custom cakes designed at our tasting. I could not have enough good things to say about the individuals we worked with and the quality of the cakes. Simon and Judy were great to work with, they responded promptly to questions, payment was easy to arrange in installments and all details were confirmed by the bakery. The cakes were gorgeous/spectacular and our guests have commented that they were the best cakes they have ever tasted. We had a strawberry wedding cake with butter cream icing and fresh strawberries in 2 layers and strawberry ganache in the other 2 layers. Our grooms cake was chocolate with fondant icing and a rum, strawberry and kiwi filling. We were not huge fans of fondant icing from out other experiences but we thought it tasted great. Both cakes were excellent, not too rich or sweet, but still moist and flavorful. Also, the tasting was a great experience and was really unusual compared to the others we attended because of all the different flavors we were allowed to taste and we were allowed to bring an extra person (MOG) without any charge. Judy was also able to take all the pictures of cakes we had liked and design something during the tasting that incorporated everything we liked about each cake. The showroom is amazing as well and a great place to see all their amazing products. We will be using this bakery from now on for any cake we need, it is worth every penny. read more

My husband and I went here to discuss purchasing a wedding cake, but the service was SO terrible. The worker hardly gained any information at all about what we wanted, before pulling out an arbitrary figure (outrageous price) to run us off. It really seemed like they just wanted us to leave, even though we were serious about buying a cake. What a shame, I was hoping to have a better experience here. read more

I have to say something about this place ..they r ok as cake and the service is awful which I totally agree w/ other brides who ordered the wedding cake from them. I was thinking to post this many days and I hope This website will not delete this comment from me because this is true story. I ordered the cake for my event one month ahead of my party which I told them I would like to have it on March21th,2014. Then a week later I called a guy who works their as a frontdesk and told him that I would like to have my cake done on March20th,2014 instead of March21st, 2014. I did called him 2 times and reminded him that you must put on the right date because it is very important for me and my family. The guy frontdesk said " yes! I will put the right date for u" then hanged up really quickly. On March 20th I went to pick up my cake. But they told me My order is March 21st not March 20th but I told them I did called and changed the date. ( I do have my cell phone date record of the date I called them!) anyways, the owner told me to come back that day and picked up the cake around 4 pm. I drove from San Antonio in the morning and arrived there around 1:30 pm and they told me to come back again at 4 pm to pick up my cake. I would love to have my cake for my event on Sat. So I have to come back to pick it up at 4 pm that day because there is no time that I could be able find the other cake store for my groom cake!!! So we came back at 4 pm then they gave the cake to me. The bad thing is the frontdesk guy said "it was not his fault" I guess it is not his problem because he action and words showed me that he was not considering how important of my time, and money. How I could order the wrong date for my wedding cake!! Yes, I placed the ordered for the birthday cake instead of saying this is my groom cake because this place is pricy!!! $$$ Yes, I did paid them the full price no discount because I had no time to have an argument and I need to get back and be ready for my wedding day on Sat.( which I had so many things to do ahead) Believe me, I will tell all my friends, family, and clients to not order cake from here because (1) Bad Service (2) Over price (3) the cake taste is O.K I hope this information will help you !! read more

I was recently asked to handle ordering the wedding and grooms cake for a family wedding.......just weeks before the wedding date. I searched online and found Simon Lee Bakery. I made the initial call and spoke with Judy. She assured me that she could get the cakes done even with short notice. Judy met with me on a Sunday to finalize details because I do not live in her area. Long story short, Judy not only got the cakes delivered on time they were absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had ordered. Many guests said that they were the best tasting cakes they had ever had.....I agree. Judy gave me excellent customer service, beautiful cakes and a lasting memory of a great day. If you are concerned or stressed about an event that requires a cake......call Judy and let her work her magic! read more

Simon Lee Bakery in Pflugerville is just as good as its word of mouth advertising. We called so many bakeries before selecting them. My daughter is a perfectionist and had a vision for this cake. The finished product was lovely and tasted delicious. The groom's cake was elegant with its chocolate drizzle and covered strawberries. Everyone raved about both. I came into Austin from another state for the wedding and was very appreciative that Judy called my daughter the day of the ceremony to touch base on the design. Judy had a concern about the appearance of the bride's cake and wanted to clear it with my daughter. All turned out exactly as the bride wanted it to be. Thanks again to Simon Lee. read more

After much research, Simon Lee was the only bakery that I would entrust my daughters wedding to for the cakes. Their cakes are not only tasteful and moist but they are gorgeous. They are more expensive but they are worth it! We were so pleased and so were our guests! read more

The most delicious cake in all of Austin, I work in the wedding industry and trust me when I say it doesn't get much better than Simon Lee. When you add the tastiest cake & beautiful artistry you cannot go wrong!!! Simon Lee created the most beautiful cake for my baby shower and I am so happy they were a part of my event! Truly talented in all aspects! read more

I recently ordered a birthday cake for my nephew, and man did it blow my mind. They made a HUGE 3D mickey mouse cake that looked unbelievable. I'm not too much of a cake lover, but they had some of the moistest/best cake i have ever eaten in my life. It was a little on the pricey side, but overall it was well worth it. DEFINITELY A 5 STAR BAKERY!! read more

The staff is very talented. I brought in a picture of a 3D cake (which some bakeries do not make) and they made the cake exactly like the picture. It was beautiful and tasted great too. read more

There simply is no other choice for cakes in Austin! Simon Lee bakery designs not only beautiful cakes but delicious cakes to boot. you will never be disappointed by the flavor quality or the look of the cake.

I was not disappointed.. it was beautiful, rich, moist and quite delicious. It was delivered promptly and Judy was so easy to work with. No need to shop around .. Simon Lee is the one and only place to buy your cake .. no matter the occassion.... read more

Last year, we ordered our wedding cake from Simon Lee Bakery. I just ordered our top tier for our first anniversary, which brought me to yelp to get their phone number. I had gone to a couple of other bakers before we had an appointment with Simon Lee. While all the bakers were great, with Simon Lee I felt like my dream cake was coming true. All the samples were delicious and it was so hard to choose just two! Our favorite surprised us - the orange mousse filling - which is what I just ordered. They worked within my budget too. I thought they were great, they made a beautiful and delicious cake, and they delivered it on time to my venue in Driftwood. I think they're perfect for wedding cakes! read more

We have used Simon Lee for many different occasions over the past several years. I have always been impressed with the taste and decor. It must be a labor of love to create such beautiful cakes. I have sampled their cakes, chocolate strawberries, petits fours, and most recently, Christmas cookies for our company holiday party. The cookies were delicious (I wouldn't expect anything different), and the detail was amazing!!!!! They were almost too pretty to eat. I would recommend Simon Lee for all things dessert! Yummy! read more

Our cakes were the only thing that went right on our wedding day! They were there when I arrived to the reception. My cake was BEAUTIFUL and my husband's was delicious. It was well worth the price!! My husband and I took out our top tier of the cake on our first anniversary and expected to each eat a bite and throw the rest away. Nope, not at all. We in fact ate the entire piece and then when we got home, we finished the entire tier. Their cake was just as tasty a year later as it was on our wedding day! Would use them over and over again for any occasion!! read more
