The cake was for my son's 20th birthday and it was simply delicious and moist. It was a strawberry cake and it was so fresh. It was devoured in less than 20 minutes. The customer service was fast and friendly. We definitely appreciate the experience with taste of cake and we will be returning in the future. You can't lose once you taste the cake. read more

Love the Hummingbird cake. It could be a little cleaner, Sundays seemed like it was food leftovers from Saturday

Updating this review because my experience with their custom cupcakes for my gender reveal was HORRIBLE. I was pregnant and literally cried over it. I could have very easily went to Small Cakes and spent less money. Going forward I will never buy cupcakes elsewhere. I'm giving them 1 star fact that the design was beautiful and they placed the edible stars I supplied perfectly. The second star is for their customer service when placing my order. I deducted 3 stars because the price, the fact that the cupcakes tasted plain/spongy, they didn't provide a protective box to get the cupcakes home literally less than 2 miles away AND because they were so top heavy they fell over. I opened the box and half the cupcakes were damaged. read more

I was looking for a tres leches cake. After not finding what I was looking for, I decided to try Take the Cake. It was a good decision! The cakes are very large, so I decided to try their slabs of cake ( actually large slices). I bought a hummingbird cake and a German chocolate cake. Both were good, but the hummingbird cake was gone so quickly that I only got a tiny bite. Both cakes were good, but the hummingbird was really really good. So, if you are in need of cakes, cookies and cupcakes, give Take the Cake a try. read more

Got a cake made here for my son's 1st bday and asked for a simple blue frosted cake with sprinkles (we opted to use our own decorations). I was so happy when I picked up the cake it was exactly how I wanted it. In addition, the cake was delicious! We ordered a 12 inch vanilla cake and it was super moist and not too sweet. They were also very helpful and reasonable pricing especially for a custom cake! Love this place! read more

I always come here to get a slice of cake and cupcakes when I want to indulge in guilty pleasures lol.... This time I ordered an 8" Italian cream cheese cake for my moms bday! Look how beautiful it turned out. So pretty! Ordering online was easy and swift. They called to confirm and took payment over the phone. My cake was ready for pickup on the day and time requested. The cake was flavorful however, it crumbled upon cutting :-( and my sister complained that it had a "refrigerator" taste. Mom said she like it but didn't eat much of it after the initial slice. I ended up eating most of it by myself lol.... overall, I thought it tasted good, it just wasn't a complete delight for others. But I'll be back because I enjoy their desserts... read more

Referred by a friend. I reviewed the website and found a lot of valuable information and pictures. I called to order my fiancee's 50th birthday cake. My intention was to go chocolate with some of the fancy signature decorations. But, I was informed the carrot cake was their best seller. I was actually torn between the two, so changing direction was not an issue whatsoever. I order the 6 inch, 3 layer cake with soft pink pouf decor. I was fone, or so I thought. During the night I got to thinking of the coloring (red dye) in the pink frosting. I knew she wouldn't have anything to do with it. I called the next afternoon and requested a change to a standard carrot cake. No problem, they gladly made the change. The only issue I incurred was the pricing of the cakes. The information was apparently outdated and the prices were several dollars more. The day came to pickup. I couldn't wait to see it and to see my fiancee response. The cake was very beautiful. Tall, white and trimmed with chopped nuts. We waited the suggested time for the cake to warm up (as it was previously stored in the cooler). She cut into the cake and expose three layers of moist carrots, pineapple goodness surrounded by silky cream cheese. We each took a bite. It was one of the best carrot cakes I've ever had. It was so good, I immediately picked up the phone to call Take the Cake and thank them. I wish I would have taken a picture to share. The experience overall was great and I will be back. read more

Cake was perfect and got several compliments about good it was! 4 stars instead of 5 because when I ordered cake (on Monday for Saturday)and paid for cake I was prompted to provide a tip - first time a bakery has ever asked for a tip. A $10 tip for I'm not sure what though... read more

If you want delicious cakes and other tasty treats this is a wonderful local business to support. We started here a year after moving to Cypress and have used them for birthdays, graduation and holidays. The tres leches is one of our favorites and the confetti cake was a hit in January for a birthday. I met someone in line last visit getting a cake for their daughter who was heading to the peace corp. She said they have been coming here longer than my family and we started in 2012. So it's pretty dang solid as far as this goes. 100% recommend. read more

As the procrastinator of a husband I am, these good people at Take the Cake were able to accommodate my last minute order for my wife's birthday. The cake looked awesome and tasted as good as it looked! It was my first order, and didn't know what to expect. The store was easy to find, and clean. Thanks again, and I'll certainly return. read more

This is the second cake that I have gotten from this place. One last year for my daughters birthday and one this year for the same thing! Both were great! But this years cake was especially good! I got compliments on it as a really good cake. Last years presentation of the cake was better but this years flavor was better in my opinion. Both years were still amazing though. This is definitely going to be my cake place moving forward! Below is a picture of last years cake because I forgot to get one this year! read more

Ordered a cake for my sons birthday from here based on a rock band, it was ok. I wouldn't say it was great. The design was cool, I did like it but I wish they wouldn't have copied the picture to the t. I asked them to make it look different but they did not. I also got half a dozen cupcakes from here, they were quite hard and stale. The cake was only $100 so I didn't expect the best in the world. Cool little location and I would recommend for basic cakes just not custom cakes. read more

Ordered a custom cake and cupcakes for my daughter's birthday. They originally forgot to give my husband the cake at pick up, but made things right immediately by offering to drop off the cake at the party. They handled the issue very professionally and we were very happy with the service. Our guests could not stop talking about how yummy the cake and cupcakes were. I loved how it wasn't too sweet or too dense. Definitely ordering from here again! read more

This cake has always had pecans covering the sides of the cake. I understand cost have gone up on ingredients.

Everything is good. Always fresh moist, rich and delicious. Definitely worth the drive.

Definitely going to be a regular. read more
