Husband ordered me a specially designed cake 8 days prior to my birthday, and they quoted him $100. It was a 6" cake. The cake looked alright, however, they did not fully follow the instructions provided when we ordered. Design details were missed, and it truly looks like they rushed on the cake. For $100, we expected more out of it. The cake itself did not taste great - it was very dense, and the filling they used was not what we ordered. He asked for a vanilla cake with a whipped cream and fresh strawberry filling. They had used a white buttercream instead, and also put an inedible fondant covering the entire cake. This turned what was supposed to be a light and airy strawberry shortcake into more of an overly sweet and dense cake, I do want to note that they did not ask any follow up questions about what to use for the cakes icing or anything of the sort (which I find strange especially at this price point for a small cake) when my husband sent in the request. They also told him they put candles in the box, but there were none. We tried to reach out to the business to resolve this offline, and they did not respond. We love supporting local businesses, but unfortunately this one did not hit the mark. read more

Not my cup of sugar... I was expecting more of a variety of desserts but all that was accounted for was cookies, one type of brownie, cupcakes & 4th of July themed macaroons. This place is more known for cakes so not a huge deal. I got a cookies n cream cupcake and homestyle cookie (chocolate chip cookie w/dulce de leche filling). Cupcake was a little dry, but I will say they are very generous with frosting portion on the cupcakes (almost same amount if not more than the bread). Frosting had a good flavor but because cupcakes sit in a cooled display case it was very very thick (solid). Had to wait a bit for it to thaw out. Homestyle cookie wasn't crazy for either. I asked the employee helping me if had a a lot of filling/if the dulce de leche made the cookie "too sweet" but she assured me it didn't. It wasn't for me (unfortunately threw both away after a bite). It was a lot of filling and almost just overpowering, to each their own. Customer service was fine. I probably wouldn't try it again. read more

Sugar Shaker Bakery - Cookies n cream cupcake - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Stopped in for the first time today. It's a small cute bakery offering cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other sweets. I got a cupcake and a brownie. Both were good. However, the cost was $8 for both, and the cupcakes are small. I did like the service, though. Again, you should be prepared to take out your goods. There is one table, but it's set up for catering and not eating inside. If you are looking to get a cake or cupcakes, then stop by and take a peak yourself! read more

Been here a couple of time including ordering a custom cake. Ordering the cake was easy and they were able to squeeze me in a week in advance. It was a non voyage cake for my friend moving to France so I wanted it classy and cute with a plane going from Austin to France but I also thought it'd be funny to add "you're dead to us". I explained it and they were able to add it without taking away from the elegance of it. The cake looked pretty but even better, everyone raves about it so much because 1. Cute design but more importantly 2. The cake was gluten and dairy free and you would have never known! It was delicious! The very next day I went to a kids party that had a cake ordered from here too and it was not GF/DF and tasted just the same! I did not feel gross or heavy afterwards at all; it was light and airy and filling! This is now my go to place for cute and healthy cake! read more

This was my first time trying their cakes and I'm so incredibly happy I did! I got a lemon cake and a marble one and they are beyond incredible! Normally I'm not a fan of lemon flavored sweets, but these two cakes were super moist and the flavors were perfect! Also, the owner, Rona (hope I spelled it right) is so sweet! Highly recommend this place!! read more

Amazing! I asked a few days in advance for custom cookies for my son's production of Annie. I had no idea that it was very late to ask. But Sugar Shaker went above and beyond my expectations. I pulled a few images from the internet and told them to do their best and it was amazing. I will definitely use them again! read more

My Barbie party and my son's Dinosaur party made it perfect with your beautiful cakes!!! Thank you! I am a forever customer! Abby read more

This review is way overdue! I was having a hard time finding a bakery for my custom cakes. I used a different bakery for quite some time that went downhill after new management took over. At the time, all custom bakeries seemed to be overwhelmed and booked for months in advance. I couldn't get a cake ordered anywhere! Then someone recommended I give Sugar Shaker a call. Let me tell you, I am so glad I reached out. They have done 4 cakes for me in the past 10 months and ALL of them have turned out superb! The artwork and flavors are excellent. Not to mention, they are some of the friendliest ladies you will meet. And, if for some reason, something is slightly off with your cake, they will remedy it on the spot. They will also work with you on your budget to give you the kind of cake you want without breaking the bank! For example, I was able to get the size and tiered cakes I wanted by doing buttercream vs fondant. I will continue to use them for all my cake needs. I definitely recommend them if your north. They are in Cedar Park and worth the drive for a beautiful and delicious cake!! read more

I did not have a good experience with this bakery. I ordered an apple pie with lattice crust. What I received was an apple pie with a crumb topping that was so thick (as was the bottom crust) that it took a butcher knife and way too much pressure to cut through it. The filling was OK, there just wasn't very much of it. I won't be getting pie from them in the future. read more

Amazing art work! Cake taste even better! 100% coming back! You won't regret it! Go ahead and place your order now!!! read more

Sugar Shaker did an amazing 1st birthday cake for my son! I sent over a sample image and they were able to create something very unique and appropriate based on the picture. Couldn't be happier with the design! Perhaps it was the options we chose but the cake was a tad dry - but would definitely go with them again for a big event with lots of photos. read more

First time there, went to try a lemon square. Also asked if they had 2 different kinds of cookies, she was very rude, looked sarcastically at the case(like do you see that) and said no. Then asked if she had anything gluten free... same thing... lemon square wasn't very good either. Crust too thick and chewy, not enough powdered sugar on the lemon. First and last time in this bakery. read more

Got so many compliments about this unicorn themed cake. My daughter absolutely loved it! I had trouble keeping the kids away as they all tried to touch it. Taste itself is a bit on the sweet side. Wish they could've made it with less sugar, but overall, this cake was hit. read more

It's ok. Not sure how the price compares for cakes this size. This one pictured was about $170. Top layer was chocolate and bottom layer was vanilla. Cake looked pretty. I didn't order the cake a friend did for my my wife's bday/baby shower. So I cannot comment on the ordering process. I did pay for it and pick it up. The cake itself was alright. It was good, but I've had better and worse too. Our party was on a Sunday and there is no ability to pickup on a Sunday. So we had to pick up on a Saturday. I was wanting to pick up early, but you are bound by their times. I was wanting 8 am, but had to do 9:30. Staff didn't seem overly friendly and when leaving, you would think they would offer to least open the door for you on the way out after buying an expensive cake, but nope. Thought that was kinda crappy. I didn't ask for help, but they just brought the cake up and had the attitude of "be on your way". Anyway, cake looked really nice... read more

Beautiful cakes, amazing ownership and management. Thank y'all for making this occasion even more special.

The cake for our special occasion, to celebrate our son's end of cancer treatment, was awesome! The design was just as discussed- just like how it was depicted in their sketch for approval, and done with great quality. The designs were done very well and we thought the lions were perfectly adorable. The cake, including the icing, was scrumptious. Our favorite layer turned out to be the pina colada layer - YUM! We also really enjoyed the lemon raspberry and Oreo tiers. We received a ton of compliments. I will certainly return for any future special occasions, as well as recommend the bakery to friends. Thank you, Sugar Shakers, for helping make the day extra special!! read more

Sugar Shaker Bakery - Some of their beautiful creations - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Read all of the reviews before you order a cake here. I wanted to order a small cake a few weeks before a milestone birthday. We went back and forth over email discussing what I wanted, and the bakery confirmed that they could do it and we agreed to a price. I asked them 1) for payment info and 2) whether they could deliver to downtown Austin. I won't have a car the day of, so I needed them to deliver. The baker sent me an invoice which looked like it was automatically generated but didn't answer the delivery question. The baker never responded to my question, but I figured maybe they don't answer over weekends. I planned to follow up Monday if they didn't respond. I just got a cancellation notice (2 or 3 days after placing an order). I reached out immediately asking why the order was cancelled, and the baker just said they book up fast and I hadn't paid. I understand they're running a business and don't want to hold spaces for people who aren't going to pay. However, the customer service in my case was poor. We had gone back and forth on email several times (I always respond within 5 minutes) on the design. We had agreed to a cost and a date. Very bizarre for them to ghost me at that point. Reading the other reviews, it seems like professional communication and customer service are not their strong point. I'm now feeling like I dodged a bullet. read more

We selected Sugar Shaker Bakery to make our wedding cake last year and we couldn't have been happier! At our tasting we got to try a bunch of different flavors and settled on a wedding cake base with almond frosting and a lemon filling. They designed it to our specifications with a semi-naked finish with berries and greenery. It matched our wedding theme perfectly! Since we were not able to save the top layer of our wedding cake, we requested a dozen cupcakes with the same flavors and theme for our 1-year anniversary and they did not disappoint! I highly recommend this bakery and look forward to doing business with them in the future. read more

LOVE!!! Best cupcakes except their lemon one tastes like pure chemicals, holy crap GROSS!!!!

So I'm supposed to pick up a cake at 11 and they are closed not sure how I'm supposed to go around that it's my boyfriend's birthday today and no one got back to me for a time to pick it up only today at 11 so his birthday i guess is ruined no cake read more

I know I'm not supposed to have sugar things but buying one treat was better than going to HEB for a whole bag of cookies. So I stopped in for a small sweet. They do a lot of custom cakes. As you walk in there is a large display case. The display case was filled with mini cupcakes and other desserts. Decided on a chocolate mini cupcake and grabbed a cinnamon round Churro treat for BF. The cupcake was good. Moist cake and icing was not overwhelming but definitely chocolatety. BF was not happy with his round churro. He said it was dry and not cinnamon tasting. The woman who waited on me was so pleasant. If I could, I would return weekly for their cupcakes. Unfortunately my doctor would shoot me. read more

Very disappointed with the customer service and would be very cautious using them for any special events. 1. This cake was suppose to be OMBRÉ pink inside and had provided very detailed directions and exact photos of what we wanted. As you can see we got a RAINBOW cake and not the correct flavors.. 2. Not only did the cake arrive 2 HOURS late for our baby shower (the owner never called as a courtesy that she was running late nor did she answer any of our calls) but the cake wasn't even what we ordered. 3. When we contacted the owner regarding the incorrect cake, She refused to own up to the mistake and was adamant that this "rainbow" coloring is actually "ombré"..... very bizarre response coming from a bakery that should know the difference between shading techniques. We spent over $150 for this cake and had hoped that the business would own up to their mistakes and make it right but they didn't. read more

Sugar Shaker Bakery made a cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday. I sent them picture 2 in the collage and asked if they could replicate it. As you can see, they knocked it out of the park. Not only did it look great, it tasted even better. They were professional, highly communicative, and followed up with us after the party to see how things went. I can't wait to further patronize their business. read more

What a lovely little bakery run by a couple of lovely ladies living their dream! We were in the area and stopped by chance. We grabbed a couple of small things (yummy!) but were really struck by the cakes and other goodies on display. Even though it is small entry, the kitchen is large and busy. These ladies make magic you can both see and taste. We greatly enjoyed meeting these two European immigrants and hearing their passion come through. Smiles on their faces, they welcome you in and are very ready to share goodness that will bring you back. Definitely give these guys a shot. read more

the cake was beautiful and evidently was delicious but I am pretty disappointed that the message board was not delivered as promised. won't be using this company again read more

I had a wonderful experience here. Online ordering was made straight forward and easy. I ordered a small heart shaped cake to gift my husband on his birthday. The cake was ready promptly and looked identical to the photo online. I had prepaid the cake, but when I went to pick up in person I wanted to purchase some birthday candles as well. The card reader was down and I did not have cash, but the woman behind the counter allowed me to have two birthday candles for free. She absolutely did not have to do this, but she displayed her professionalism and kindness in doing so. The cake looked and tasted amazing, and the customer service was stellar. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Bought assorted cupcakes from here for a birthday. (Sometimes you get tired of the conventional cake that you don't want to lug around when before and after dinner). The people working there were amazing, sweet, helpful, and super importantly--inclusive. Pink champagne, and Oreo cupcakes were my absolute favorites. The cake itself was moist and flavorful, and I was impressed especially with the pink champagne as the flavoring was delicate and not fake tasting or overpowering (something I've noticed in other pink champagne cakes I've tried). Only drawback for me, and the five of us who ate these cupcakes, was the sweetness of the frosting. For us, the frosting tended to overpower the cake flavor, and eventually all of us just removed the frosting and devoured the cake, which was still okay, we're not really huge frosting fans anyway. They also do custom cakes! Try them out! read more

We moved to Austin from the Bay Area in March of this year and our son's 6th birthday was coming up real fast. He's a big train nut like his old man and has been asking for a train cake since he was able to talk. However, it was difficult to find a good bakery that could make such an order in a short time frame and without asking for a small investment. When I discovered the Sugar Shaker Bakery in Cedar Park, it was like my prayers had been answered! The staff were extremely friendly and answered my emails very quickly. Communications were detailed and very direct. My order was squared away and a time was arranged to pick up the train cake. On the day of the pick up, I entered the store and it was extremely clean, well decorated, and I loved the black/white photos on the wall. I got to inspect the cake and it was done exactly as I wanted. The train picture I supplied was recreated exactly as the original and the icing/frosting was perfect! My son loved it so much he literally jumped out of his seat when I opened the box to the cake. The cake itself was so delicious! The cake was very fluffy and had good flavor and the frosting/icing rounded it off with just the right amount of sweetness and richness. Everyone loved it so much they all had 2nd and 3rd slices! Most of all, the Chow Family will be returning to the Sugar Shaker for more business in the coming months! Thank you for being a terrific local bakery making our move from California that much sweeter! Lily, William, Emily and Marvin Chow! read more

My experience with Sugar Shaker Bakery was amazing! I never even went into the bakery I saw their advertisement in a google search and took a chance, I'm so glad I did. They were very prompt with replying to my inquiry via email, they provided me with quotes, asked qualifying questions to understand what I was trying to achieve, gave great suggestions and they delivered! The cake and cupcakes were decorated immaculately, were moist, had the perfect amount of sweetness and were simply delicious! I will definitely be a return customer! Thank you for a great experience! My daughter loved her cupcakes which included edible photos from birth to age 18! read more

Ordered the Bananas Foster cake. I didn't taste the caramel drizzle at all, and the banana flavor was pleasant but vague. The buttercream icing was incredible, though! Overall, I would probably give the bakery another chance in the future. I looked around at their past cake designs on display in the store, and they seem to do impressive work. read more
