Stopped by for a birthday cake for my father-in-law's birthday. Got an 8-inch chocolate cake. Rich and creamy frosting and not overly sweet. Also saw a blueberry and peach pie with a crumb topping. Again, not overly sweet. The sweetness was from the generous fresh fruit filling. It should be called the Jersey Fresh fruit pie as blueberries and peaches are my favorite summer fruits. The only thing missing was some nice fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. read more

For my daughter's 3rd birthday we decided to get cupcakes instead of a cake. I physically went in to place the order and ended up deciding on two dozen cupcakes. They were supposed to be buttercream icing. When asked what kind of icing we wanted, I specifically asked for it to be the thick buttercream icing and not the whipped icing . The cupcakes were disappointing as they had icing that was not buttercream and literally slid off of the cupcake. Buttercream is thick and doesn't do that. For the price, I was expecting quality icing but the texture was not good at all. As someone who LOVES cake this was not my favorite experience with a bakery. read more

I love the pastries here at Bake works. This time I got the sticky bun and it was delicious. You have to get there before 12pm to make sure you can get one. read more

Our first time ordering from Bake Works. We live in Smithville and by passed a few Smithville/Galloway bakeries to try something different. I ordered an 8 inch birthday cake which had lemon cake, raspberry filling and buttercream icing. Cake was nicely decorated and looked beautiful on our table. It was fresh, moist and flavorful. The lemon raspberry combo had just the right amount of tartness. This is a cute little neighborhood style bakery which had loads of delicious looking baked goods. The staff I dealt with on the phone and in person were very kind and informative. We'll definitely be back. read more

needed a cake to celebrate a birthday in AC so i looked up local bakeshops and bake works had pretty good reviews. i called 2 days prior and i fell short of their 72 hour custom order policy so they told me everyday they have a ton of fresh cakes that will be nicely decorated so I can come by and grab one. When my friend got there to get a cake at 10am on a Saturday morning, he said there was barely any selection. when he asked the staff member if there would be more shortly they said possibly. i was disappointed by the news and settled on a chocolate buttercream vanilla cake. it was ok and did the job but i wouldn't come back. read more

What a beautiful store. I discovered this bakery two years ago and whenever I visit ocean city nj, i have to visit this place. So many delightful cupcakes and many varieties of chocolate covered pretzels. My favorite thing though is the cake pops!!! Around 12 different kinds. So good a d interesting flavors such as strawberry lemonade. This is a bakery that you need to go and not far off the bridge that leads to ocean city. I believe one of the owners that served me name is Amy. Very nice, personable and good to talk with. Beautiful bakery!!! read more

I discovered The Bake Works on Yelp while looking for a cake for my dad's 80th birthday as we were traveling down to Linwood, and I am so happy I found them! We ordered the cannoli cake and just did some basic decorations with writing. They were so helpful over the phone with what size to order and what types of fillings and decorations. It was stunning and so incredibly delicious. It's the first time for a cake that there were NO LEFTOVERS! Even my local family was impressed and kept asking the name of the shop. I'm very much looking forward to returning to try their other baked goods. read more

The Bake Works - 10" Cannoli cake with white chocolate shells - Bakeries Near Me - Northfield, New Jersey

Everything I bought here has been good. But their service is highly inconsistent. I gave them a stunning review 3 yrs ago BUT YESTERDAY they ruined everything. I called for a cookies a pretzel tray. I even told them I'd be there in half an hour to pick up. I also asked if I could pay ahead of time. I was on a tight schedule and needed to go in and out fast. I spent $60. They only had some lonely looking chocolate chips and some sparse looking pretzels. BUT nothing was ready! They insisted they did not know who took the order. Once I got them to do the order, I was not happy. It looked blah. I asked for owner. She was cold as ice and belittled my stress. The Oder was haphazard, ugly and unappetizing. No elephant, no bow, just a tray with an ugly plastic top on it. When I asked for a better looking tray, the owner said the plastic tray cover was better. I don't care, I wanted what I wanted! Her staff were rude. The one girl was full of hair all over her face and not pulled back and was totally unapologetic and didn't communicate. There was also a blond standing pertly and smirking at me and giving me an overlook with her arms crossed. And the owner couldn't have cared less that her staff made me late. She made a small but feeble effort but they made me late with an ugly tray of 2nd class looked like day old cookies. Only chocolate chips. The service was really bad and when I went to pay the owner stopped at tips and wanted me to put in a tip. I told her no! I worked in AC and I am a very generous tipper. But they had nerve asking me for a tip. Needless to say, I was highly disappointed. Their bake goods are usually good. I must have come on a bad day. But I will be back because their baker is good. But if I can find someone or a better bakery, I will. I was treated with so much distain, it hurts me to think about all the money I have spent there over the years. It's a shame. The were better. read more

The salesperson was horrible! I went there twice hoping the service would be better, but it wasn't.

The baker in the back has the worst customer service and the cake tasted like the refrigerator

We've had a few things here. Our favorite is the flourless chocolate torte. It's available in 2 sizes. It's insanely rich and delicious. A sliver size is a perfect portion. Very dense, but not cloyingly sweet. This bakery is wonderful for very special occasions. We went to consider a birthday cake, which was an average of $40.00. read more

It's very hard to find a good bakery down the shore because most places just sell donuts and cookies. We were extremely delighted to find The Bake Works for a 40th birthday celebration down the shore. We got the lemon cake, with lemon filling and vanilla buttercream. The cake was moist, the filling was very flavorful and everyone enjoyed it! For the quality and price (about $50) you can't beat it. We will definitely be getting our summer birthday cakes here! read more

Great cakes but their sticky buns are made with croissant dough, best in the area! Cake pops galore!

I live in Northwest NJ and called Bake Works a few days before an event in Atlantic City. They were so helpful and were happy to accommodate my custom order. The cake was ready on time and packaged beautifully for travel to the hotel. It was SO PERFECT, and exactly like the photo I sent! Most important however, is that the cake was moist and delicious! Can't thank them enough for making our event so amazing! read more

Delicious carrot cake and beautiful decoration! We celebrated my wife's 40 th birthday in Ocean City and she requested a carrot cake. After talking to several bakeries in town, nobody could make the carrot cake. The ladies at the Bake Works were able to get the cake made in short notice and they suggested the seashell design that fit perfectly with our party theme. She loved it and I will be back to try all of the other tasty treats next time I am in the area! read more

I want to start off by apologizing to The Bake Works. I did my first review when I was upset. This company has gone above and beyond. I appreciate your team reaching out to me.

I went with Bake Works for my engagement party because the venue I chose for my wedding works with them. Ordering the cupcakes was a breeze and the women that work there are super friendly; however, I'm not so jazzed about the taste. I had vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing, but the consistency/texture was extremely dense akin to cornbread. Usually when this happens with cakes or cupcakes, it's due to over mixing the batter . They were so cute and looked great with the decorations, but the taste and consistency just weren't there. I really wanted to love these cupcakes because of the reviews and because Bake Works is doing my wedding cake; however I'm a little nervous for the 22nd of January now . read more

Delicious baked goods! Very pleasant staff. I cannot say enough kind things about this establishment. Except maybe, their cinnamon buns are to die for! read more

The Bake Works - Red Velvet Christmas Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Northfield, New Jersey

How bad does red velvet have to be for me to actually stop eating and throw it out? Pretty gosh darn bad, as I found out today. I've passed Bake Works several million times while going to Tunes, and figured today was just the perfectly leisurely day to stop in and check out their offerings. Inside is very brightly lit and clean. There are several child's-sized tables, at one of which there was a cake tasting being held. Picture 4 grown adults sitting around an actual round kiddie table, shoveling cake into their mouths. Priceless. Bake Works offers everything from cakes to cupcakes to cookies to covered pretzels to coffee. But you know what I came here for.....ohhhh yeaaaaaa! I immediately spotted a Red Velvet cupcake and a Red Velvet cake pop and asked for one of each, as well as a Peanut Butter cake pop, for good measure. At $5 for all three, the price would have been right, had the quality been. The staff didn't seem overly friendly or knowledgable, but that rarely deters me if the product they're putting out is enjoyable. Upon opening the box, I found all of my goodies strewn to one side, separated by a single flimsy piece of wax paper. Note to Bake Works: invest in some cupcake carriers, this was a horrible presentation and reflects poorly on you. Getting my feet wet, I tried the Red Vevlvet cake pop first. It was neither red nor velvety. In fact, the cake was brown...but not brown like chocolate. Brown like...dried blood. Ew. The cake was moist, but just didn't taste like the red velvet I so enjoy. The white chocolate coating on the outside tasted like mint, which was a horrid combination. This was actually gross, and I tossed it. The Peanut Butter cake pop was a small redemption. The chocolate coating was mediocre quality, but the inside was rich and creamy peanut butter. Great flavor and highly satisfying (or appetizing) if you're a peanut butter lover. Not gonna lie, I was scared to try the cupcake. I hate when red velvet's not good, it's so depressing. It ended up being pretty much the same story as the cake pop: brown cake, no distinguishing "red velvet" flavor. Something just tasted off about it. Also, the icing on the cupcake, though cream cheese, was so sickeningly sweet, it actually was burning the back of my throat. This, too, ended up being thrown out. I can't bear to eat bad red velvet! I will most likely return, only because they have an entire case devoted to covered pretzels. I wish I had gotten a picture of this; it was so sick looking. Pretzels covered with just about every imaginable topping: glittery pop rocks, oreos, m&ms, peanut butter chips, and of course chocolate. Will I ever get my red velvet fix here? Never ever ever. read more

I ordered my wedding cake for my wedding this September 25th, 2022. I was very specific with Amanda and send her pictures of exactly what I wanted (seen below in the first photo). She told me she would be able to do it if I paid an extra $500 for a design fee. I said okay since this was my dream wedding cake..When I walked into my reception, I saw this (picture 2). I was told she would do piped little white buttercream flowers.. in person they were hard candy sugar flowers on wire not even cascading like the picture. I wanted a very specific colored blue flower design to match my bridesmaid dresses and decor and not only were the blues on this cake not matching each other (the crest was neon blue and the flowers were a gray blue)..they weren't even close to the picture style or color wise. I wanted a tall, narrow cake.. again.. just like the picture. I have voiced to amanda through many many emails what I wanted. To top it off, the cake itself was cream, not white. In the end it didn't feel like she cared enough to actually listen to what I wanted. If I am paying a $500 design fee, I expect it to be as close to what I wanted as possible. I have since emailed her twice after my wedding and she has chosen to ignore my emails. It was very upsetting to see the day of my wedding. It put a huge damper on my night and I felt embarrassed when my guest walked into the reception hall....and to not even get a response.. awful. read more

I went yesterday right before they closed, only 15 minutes left and wasn't too sure if I should cuz I know how some people rush you when it's time for them to go home. Not these lovely ladies, they were so welcoming and very sanitary, changing their gloves constantly, double masked. Very clean atmosphere. I ordered the large canolis, cookies and cream cheese croissant. When I tell you I haven't had such fresh bakery in a long time. The filling of the cannoli was so soft and fresh, down to the chocolate chips, so fresh. Croissant was the perfect crust with fluffy, and the cookie was so soft and filling sooooo good.

This bakery is probably the VERY BEST I have ever experienced. And it IS an experience.

I ordered a vegan cupcake tray that was not edible, even for the kids. When I called and spoke to the owner I explained that the chocolate cupcakes even had a chemical taste. She informed me that they were delicious and she sells them all the time.. The owner told me that maybe vegan isn't my cup of tea. We have ordered vegan baked goods from other bakeries, so we are not new to vegan products. The only thing worse than the cupcakes was the owners patronizing comments. read more

Fantastic cake! We arranged, from Atlanta, for a 60th wedding anniversary cake for our parents via emails with Amy, to be delivered to the Icona hotel in Avalon. The bakery did a spectacular job on the decorations-it was truly perfect. It was exactly what we asked for and just looked amazing. People couldn't stop staring at it. Additionally, the cake itself was excellent-we had the almond cake with strawberries and cream filling. The cake was moist, light, flavorful and the strawberries and cream were a delicious addition. Numerous people said it was the best cake they've ever had. We even had people asking about leftovers. Everyone I spoke to with the bakery was courteous, professional and helpful. It was a terrific experience all around. My only regret is that this bakery is in New Jersey and I live in Atlanta.... read more

I went to The Bake Works. There were two women ahead of me--one was paying & the other began to place her order. As I was waiting, two gentlemen enter the place of business. Once the lady was finished paying for order, the worker asked who was next. At that time, the gentlemen pointed to me & I raised my hand. The worker proceeded to help one of the gentleman that came in AFTER me. He spoke up & stated, "She was next in line."--pointing to me. The worker said, "Oh you're just picking up an order I will take you!"--continuing to ignore that I was next in line. At this point, I said, "WOW!!" and walked out. Once back in my car, I called to speak with someone about what just happened. I was told that they were very busy & the worker needed me to wait!! I waited long enough until my turn & she still took the gentleman in front of me. NO EXCUSE!! This is how you treat your customers when it's busy??!! I am very disappointed--as I have always purchased my cakes at The Bake Works. Perhaps it was the color of my skin?? Nonetheless, I have filed a complaint with the BBB & will not patronage this establishment again!!!!!! read more
