Good cake and finally a great experience. We arrived to pick up or order ans it was not complete 10 min turned into 30+ min. When completed never given an apology or explication. We were underwhelmed by the decoration Generally better designs. Then we had to go back in as they had no given us our preorders pastries and we got those and it was not what we ordered. 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

After visiting TTC's store front on 3 separate occasions and having a specialty cake made for my employer, I'm finally ready to give my view on what I've tried to date. Honestly, I've yet to experience the wow factor these 5 star reviewers have. I've never had an issue with customer service. It did take me a while to actually try their cakes. The main reason is a lot of the cakes on display were either chocolate or contained coconut. I despise coconut in desserts and only like chocolate every blue moon...not a fan of bananas so their hummingbird big seller is definitely not for me. I've tried the oreo cheesecake, lemon cheesecake, red velvet cupcake, and a specialty cake prepared for work which was a vanilla cake with raspberry filling. The cake was nothing spectacular to look at, I've seen better looking cakes on Yelp! from them so that's probably more the fault of the admin who ordered it vs. TTC. I wasn't a fan of the filling though apparently it's the most popular one? The texture of the cake was crumbly. He could barely slice it without it falling apart. The cheesecakes were thick and rich but not the smoothest texture. I think they are OK, I like the oreo much better than the lemon. It was chock full of cookies. I like the prices for the desserts, definitely not a budget buster. Just wished I liked them better... read more

Ordered a cake sent them a picture and the cake was delicious and beautiful! Lovely experience with pickup.

Unfortunately this will be my last time getting my cakes from here. New owners and service has gone down along with the cleanliness of the bakery. Cakes are left out on the counter, crumbs all over the displays, fly's flying around the store and display, signs unorganized that display which desserts are which. I had to tell the girl to wash her hands before she wrote on my cake. And all this after being told to wait while there was nobody there but she seemed to have been finishing up a conversation with workers in the back. No more friendly greetings, no more instructions on proper handling of the cake before serving, no "thank you for your business". I noticed the lack in September. read more

We always come here for any kind of special occasion cakes. They are simply amazing & never let us down. Every cake I've had is moist and not too rich or sweet. They also have beautifully decorated cakes as well and they also take customized orders. Chocolate truffle with ganache is my favorite here. read more

This cake has always had pecans covering the sides of the cake. I understand cost have gone up on ingredients. I have noticed the past few times buying their cakes that they have cut back on their presentation. I am very disappointed and will not be back. I will NOT recommend their cakes to anyone in the future. read more

Everything is good. Always fresh moist, rich and delicious. Definitely worth the drive. I'm glad they're not closer because I've basically stopped baking (I've been baking since i was 6) and just get treats from them. First business I've tried that's as good as my home made stuff. Definitely going to be a regular. read more

Take the Cake - Vanilla cake - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Last year, I ordered my sister-in-law's 40th birthday cake from here. It was the carrot cake, and it was very good - delicious, moist, great size. At that time, I also ordered a few different cupcake flavors for my family to try out. I was not impressed with the cupcakes. They were dry, icing was thick and too sweet, and just overall disappointing. This week, I was in the area and decided to stop in and get a few slices of cake. I got 2 of the chocolate italian cream slices and 1 slice of oreo cheesecake. The service was good, but when I got home I realized that when she cut the cheesecake, she somehow did not cut the bottom half of my slice, resulting in 3/5 of a slice rather than an entire slice. I normally wouldn't care if it wasn't for the high price tag for a slice. For 3 slices of cake, it was around $20. The oreo cheesecake was very good though. The different flavors of the chocolate mousse and the cream cheese along with the oreos all came together nicely. Unfortunately that was not the case for the chocolate italian cream cake. I took the last 2 slices that were in the display, so I'm not sure if it just wasn't fresh. It was super dry and tasted more like a German chocolate cake than italian cream. Overall, I probably will not return to this store. For the price, I think there are much better quality bakeries in Houston. read more

I absolutely love this place! They made my cake for my bday party last weekend and it exceeded my expectations. The team at Take the Cake were very easy to work with and made my cake better than I imagine. The price was very affordable. The flavor I went with was vanilla with a filling. I would definitely recommend Take the Cake for future bday parties and events. If you want to give them a try, check them out! Bianca read more

Service is beyond terrible. I sent in a request for my Wife's birthday cake and it submitted correctly. I called to make sure everything would be ready for Day of pickup and was informed they won't make the cake because there was not a deposit. The form did not ask for one nor did the bakery reach out. While cakes are pretty and decent I would not trust the staff. I asked for help and explained the bind their lack of communication put me in. It was met with indifference. I asked if I needed to find a new bakery moving forward and response was guess so... read more

Their cakes, cupcakes, cookies and crème brûlée are so good. I usually get the raspberry white cake but this past time I tried her Three tiered white cake with strawberry jam layers! OMG - yes I ate the entire cake in 4 days. Today purchased several cup cakes for other people but I got myself the raspberry cream Brulé. That was amazing! read more

This place rocks! My family and I have frequented Take the Cake several times over the past few years and have loved everything we've had from here. I had my little brother's first birthday cake made here and they absolutely nailed it. The reference picture I gave them used fondant and they were able to replicate the cake using buttercream perfectly. They were very accommodating and used some figurines I brought in from home. The cake is BEAUTIFUL. I cannot praise their bakers enough they did an outstanding job. we haven't cut into the cake yet but I was so pleased with their service I couldn't wait to post a review. If any of you have kids or even siblings I hope you understand how important a first birthday can be. When I first saw the finished cake it literally brought tears to my eyes! They honestly made our dream a reality and I am sure my brother will love his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake. I placed the order and worked with Kailey and she was extremely helpful and caring and made it a super easy and enjoyable experience. Thank you so much to Take the Cake and especially Kailey for another great experience!! read more

Recently ordered cakes form this location and could not be more pleased! They went above my expectations when I requested the (admittedly odd) tiktok frog trend decorations. The kids at the party all fought over who would get the frosting frogs. As for the flavors- I had vanilla raspberry and vanilla fudge, both amazing. The cake itself is rich, and they do NOT skimp on icing or the raspberry filling in between layers. Their cupcakes are nice too, about two servings a piece if you have guests that prefer other flavors read more

I ordered a cake on a Wednesday for a Saturday event of 50 people. Take the Cake was very accommodating and followed up to confirm the design and coloring of the cake. To get a cake to serve a large amount of people that is beautiful, moist, and tasty is quite the feat but Take the Cake did it! I would use their services again and recommend them! read more

Customer service is golden, this place could learn a lesson or two about customer service. German chocolate cake is old

I got a birthday cake for my mother in law and it was a hit. The decorations were beautiful and the taste was just amazing. We ordered a carrot cake that was super moist and flavorful. The icing was not super sweet and it was a great combination all together. I have to also add that their customer service was excellent. I ordered the cake 2 days prior to picking it up so they are super speedy and professional. I absolutely recommend this place. read more

Scrumptious Italian cream cake.. slurp. Price is reasonable. Totally recommend this place.

Ordered our wedding cake from here and it was perfect! Had it delivered and they were on time and helpful

Fantastic baker. There are few bakeries in the country that are in this league. Skillful and artistic. These are professional bakers using the best ingredients. Real butter, real vanilla, real carrots, etc. If you are looking for a cheap sheetcake from the grocery store - you may want to look at the grocery store. If you want a fantastic cake - get one here. I loved everything I've had. Respect, read more

I was extremely impressed when a co-worker bought a birthday cake to work. The birthday celebration was fantastic but the HIT was that Chocolate Truffle cake! The chocolate ganache icing is so amazing! I've been hooked every since. I can't say enough about the Pineapple Carrot cake.....WOW! read more

OMG why have you discontinued the whipped-cream icing? I get that businesses need to streamline to make life easier, improve processes, and inevitably increase profits? but why would you stop creating something that worked? I have always ordered the cakes that did NOT have buttercream icing because it was less sweet. Change is often good. New owners, bravo, better website, systems, that's wonderful! But don't change the foundation of your product, which is the icing on the cake itself. I notice all of your standard cakes no longer have whipped-cream icing. The white chocolate raspberry now has buttercream icing. No more coconut cream cake with whipped cream. Terrible moves. I was once a fan of the new changes implemented by the new owners. No more... read more

I live in California but this is my go to when it comes to cakes... my family lives in the area so every year for my sisters birthday (this is the second year) I've ordered her cake from here and she absolutely loves it!

Haven't had anything from this bakery that I didn't absolutely love. The cupcakes/cake slices are amazing! The chocolate chip cookie sandwiches, pie and macaroni are great too! Really don't understand the lower reviews I've seen. They usually have plenty of full cakes, several flavors, available to purchase on the spot for last min celebrations. I'd recommend the Hummingbird Cake!!! read more

They have a tasty variety of cakes and cupcakes available daily. We tried several of the cupcake and they were moist and delicious. We also ordered my daughter's birthday cake with it being vanilla and chocolate layered. Chocolate cakes can some times be dry, but this entire cake was moist. It was perfect. The cake was refrigerated so once it sat out a bit the frosting got soft and was more tasty. We'll most definitely go back to Take The Cake! The cake was delicious and beautiful! Our theme was Trolls, so we took the toys and they worked their magic! Thank you!! read more
