Go-To for Every Sweet Celebration I don't gatekeep when it comes to good cake, and Take the Cake has officially earned their crown as my go-to bakery for birthdays and beyond. They've done a few cakes for me now (including this year's birthday masterpiece), and every single time they deliver flavor, design, and vibes. The service? Always warm and friendly. The prices? Super fair for the quality. And the taste? Chef's kiss -- moist, rich, and never overly sweet. Just perfect. I'm so glad I found this gem for our family. Whether it's a birthday, celebration, or "just because" kind of day, Take the Cake always gets it right. If you're in need of a bakery that understands the assignment, this is it!

plastic

Looking for a sweet treat on my way into houston. I love macarons but I found out after I tried them that this business does not even make them from scratch. the ones that they import are weirdly cakey and the chocolate flavor has cinnamon in it even though that wasn't in the description. I also tried the chocolate and almond croissant. the croissant texture was very dry and the almond one had pieces of plastic in it (I think they were plastic bristles from a pastry brush, or so I hope). from what I ate of the almond one, before discovering the plastic, was overly sweet. I had ordered two oatmeal raisin walnut cookies and both were over-baked, one tasted more savory than sweet, and the other had bits of the oat that is inedible (the hulls/husk). Overly disappointed and won't be going back. the only reason I am giving it two stars instead of one is because they said they would refund me.

Custom white cake

We have ordered many cakes from this place because it was my mom's favorite. However, the last two cakes we ordered have not been good. They aren't as fresh and the decorating is not what it used to be. I had my dad pick up a cake this weekend that we ordered days in advance for my mom and there was a huge crack in the middle and the cake was so dry it literally crumbled apart. I wish I would have been available to pick it up because I would have asked for a refund and went to HEB. For $36 there shouldn't be cracks like this. I'm very disappointed.

I ordered in advance last night for pickup today. Ordering was super easy. They require 4 hours for preparing an online order. I placed around 1am and scheduled a pickup for 230 today and the cake and cupcakes were ready. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and the cupcakes and cookies were good. I got the funfetti cupcake, snickerdoodle cookie, chocolate chip walnut cookie and sugar cookie with sprinkles. The cake was beautifully decorated and so were the cupcakes I ordered for a bridal shower. Kind of pricey 68.00 for a 6inch cake and 6 cupcakes but the decor is top notch. The flavor was good of the cupcakes and cookies. I will use them again, they are different from some grocery store cakes.

I purchased 3 cakes from them and they never disappoint. The service is great and the employees are very informative and receptive to my ideas, they even try to make suggestions when needed to lower cost. The taste of the cake is worth it!

My friend loves "take the cake", so since her bday was coming up, I had the opportunity to check this place out and picked up one of her favorite cakes to celebrate!! Before driving up, I called the day before to try and place an order in advance. However, they had sold out of the cake I was looking for (chocolate truffle), so they told me to call the following morning, which I did, and then they told me to call later in the afternoon. I was getting kind of nervous because I needed the cake by the evening, but I'm glad everything worked out just fine. If you're wanting to order one of their whole cakes, I'd recommend calling them before going to the store, just to make sure they're in stock. As soon as I walked in, I was taken aback by the magical smell of the bakery. It was like you could taste the air. The employees were super friendly and helpful with my requests. You can actually have them write a bday message on the cake for free with the icing color of your choice. The whole cake was $48. Because the cake is so thiccccck, my friend had to slowly cut into it. Just the presentation of it was appealing, and I was excited to try a slice. This cake was DECADENT. Super rich and dense. It's got a great chocolate flavor, but I had to eat it in small bites or else it was too overwhelmingly sweet for me with all the frosting. Be sure to check your face after you're done eating this cake because you may have brown lipliner and chocolate in the crevices of your teeth LOL. I had to rinse my mouth a few times. Clearly enjoyed the cake a little too much. My friend loves these cakes specifically because the icing tastes like REAL chocolate, not artificial like what you get from the store. Quality is up there for sure. However, since I'm not the biggest chocolate cake fan, I'd love to try their other flavors too! There's a big parking lot with plenty of spaces!

I really wanted a number cake for my mom's birthday and Take the Cake came through! With just an emailed photo of an example and quick phone conversation, they made the cake perfect for our party. It was as delicious as it was beautiful! Thank you Take the Cake!

Delicious strawberry cake

This is the second cake my best friend ordered for me from Take the Cake and did not disappoint. This round was a strawberry cake. The one before was the red velvet cake. Both amazingly good.

Me n hubby mashed it! So good!

Wow oh wow!! Tasted a hummingbird cake on my cruise and fell in love and was determined as soon as I got back home, I was gonna find one!! Heard abt this place for a minute, so glad I tried it! Ordered a slice and that's ALL u need! It's the perfect blend of sweetness and cream cheese for the icing, not annoyingly sweet! The cake is perfect, pecans are there but not over powering, just enough and everything is blended so well in the cake. N can I say MOIST! Cake was the perfect taste of sweetness too!

Chocolate butter cream on chocolate cake - tasted horrible
