    I stopped by here not realizing this was the cake store and not the cupcakes store which is in Huntington. It was my sisters bday and after rushing out of work I wanted to grab something quick. I arrived here at 4:10 pm which is pretty close to their closing time. I was immediately greeted by Kathy who was super friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately I realized this was more of a place to order cakes and they didn't have an actual display of cupcakes. I mentioned that I just wanted some cupcakes but realized this place didn't have them. She said she would see what she can do for me. 2 minutes she offered me a few options. I agreed to it all 5 minutes later Kathy came out with the prettiest cupcakes. I'm was so grateful that she took the time to make them for me. The cupcakes are delicious and fresh and they are just soooo pretty! I would give the customer service here and A+++ and would definitely be coming back here for our regular came orders. I'm so happy to have found a decent cake/cupcake place around. :-)

    Looks small, but the box is huge and it is deceiving!

    A few short weeks ago, I had the idea to order a custom cake for my friend's retirement dinner. I dealt with the Cake Don only to purchase his (fabulous) cupcakes during the lockdown and beyond. He is my go-to for a quick treat or item to bring to a BBQ/gathering. This time, I called, spoke with them about my thoughts, and how I really didn't have an idea. Before I knew it, we decided on something with the scales of justice. I then Googled some images and found a stack of law books with the scales of justice atop. The dinner would be for 12 people, so they recommended a cake for 12-15 people. There were several options for the cake and filling, so I opted for chocolate cake with chocolate ganache. I gave them my credit card, they asked me what time I wanted to pick it up, and they gave guidance for keeping it cold before serving. On the day of pickup, they produced a box large enough to fit a microwave! They helped load it into the car and again reminded us of to keep it safe and fresh for the unveiling later on that evening. Every single person we dealt with was lovelier than the next. The restaurant we had the dinner at (the legendary King Umberto's!) took special care with the extremely large box and kept it safe until they presented it on a rolling cart to our table. Fellow diners are nearby tables were in awe of the cake. This cake look exactly like the photo I submitted with gold fasteners (edible) and binding on the book that look so real! The scales of justice sat prominently on top and the ribbon with "Happy Retirement" was perfect finish. The server told me he felt bad cutting it. Now for the flavor: the cake was moist and fresh. The ganache was among the best I have ever had. The icing was not overly sweet, and despite the coloring used for the exterior of the "book", none of us had discolored teeth after eating. The cake was easily at minimum a foot wide, and definitely about 6-7" high. Slices were generous and we still had plenty enough left over to take home. This cake was worth more than what I paid for it--I can only imagine the hours of labor to produce this work of art. Patronize the Cake Don, either for cupcakes at his Huntington store, or by ordering a cake for your next event. You will not be disappointed. And when an owner and his whole staff are lovely? Even better!

    Thank you Cake Don for making my beautiful and delicious retirement cake in short notice. Someone other then me ordered it. It was delicious. None left to take home. Also the Cake Don Cupcakes in Huntington is amazing. Fresh and delicious!

    Beautiful custom cake made for a surprise party I threw for my girlfriend. My girlfriend actually thought I got her a dior bag for a second. Nah just the cake baby! Everybody loved the cake as well! I got red velvet with cream cheese filling on the inside. Thank you very much! The lady I worked with (Chrissy) was extremely helpful throughout the process of getting this order together. Highly recommend.

    Honestly I don't even like cake (I do like frosting lol). Yes I am a weirdo. Anyway despite that, I do like my cakes to look awesome, and taste amazing for others. After looking at most places all over the island I finally checked out the cake don and he does absolutely amazing work. We first used him for our baby shower cake. My cousins still talk about that cake being one of the best ever. The taste and how adorable it was. We also used him for our son's first birthday party which again everyone loved. My one girl loved it so much she had to get his 4th of July cupcakes for our little party and my son literally lived his best life that day. Those cupcakes were my son's dream, cuteness overload as he had red/white and blue icing all over him lol. Anyway I'd 100% recommend him for cakes, cupcakes, etc. He's the best on long island.

    This is how I got the cake !!!!!

    I ordered cake for my baby shower, I paid extra money for safe delivery, as I was told by bakery.they told me if I pay extra for delivery that's guarantee for safe Delivery! unfortunately this is how I got the cake at the time of delivery ! I attached the picture below , which is marked with red circle. As u see The bow is dropped!! I also attached picture of cake which I ordered. I don't recommend this bakery for any event!!!!!

    The most amazing cupcakes ever!!!! I highly recommend The Cake Don for all your cake needs... Don is so nice and his cupcakes are delicious! Many flavors to choose from and my favorites were the Samoa and the S'mores! I've seen his work online and in store and his cakes are unbelievable! He can create almost any specialty cake! I'll be going to Don for all my cake needs in the future! Definitely check him out!!!

    I recently celebrated my birthday with a custom cake from "The Cake Don" . I was so excited with the outcome of our cake. Don is so talented and will truly bring any vision of yours to life! He created a masterpiece based just from my inspiration. Not to mention the cake, itself, was DELICIOUS! Several fabulous options of fillings and frostings to pair and choose from. I appreciated the teams communication prior to the big day as well as a seamless delivery to the venue. Thanks again for making my celebration extra special. Highly recommend treating yourself or loved ones to a custom Cake Don creation!!

    I don't know where to begin. I am so so so so glad someone close recommended me this place for my sons first birthday cake. Don greeted us so warmly and quickly showed us the designs for the ideal cake we wanted. The attention to detail, the flavoring , the quality is all 5 stars. This place is a must try for whatever your special occasion is. You will not be disappointed!! Thank you so much Don!!

    Our daughter had her 100th day celebration and we decided to go with Cake Don after reading the reviews on yelp. We called Don and setup an appointment with him. We sat down and showed him some pictures online of what we had in mind. He was receptive to our wishes and gave a few helpful suggestions too. We then chose the flavor of the cake; and that was pretty much it. We got the cake on our scheduled date and time. The cake came out as we had designed. Our family members were impressed and thought we had bought it at a Chinese bakery since the Chinese character, colors and design were authentic in appearance. In terms of taste, the cake is really delicious. It's not overly sweet and fairly light (excluding the fondant). We chose vanilla cake with strawberry filling which ends up as a mousse with pieces of macerated strawberries. It's easy to have more than one piece. We will definitely be going back to Cake Don in the future for our cake needs and recommend him to family and friends. We're glad we found someone in this area for our custom cake needs.

    This  is the cake that was delivered.

    Let me first say when you're dealing with a theme-styled cake, details are everything (and of course flavor). I ordered this cake for my husband's 50th birthday party and being that this is my first husband's favorite movie of all time it just seemed appropriate. The details on the cake I received were very good and the cake itself tasted very good as well and overall my cake looked almost like the one posted on Pinterest (which, along with the great reviews, is what helped me decide to order from The Cake Don in the first place). I was just a little disappointed that 3 details were missing from the cake: 1) the cigar 2) the handkerchief and 3) blood from the horses head - but again, like I mentioned, the cake tasted very good and still the artistry was excellent and I would deal with them again, but I think next time I would make a concerted effort to take the trip out there (they're located in Long Island I live in New Jersey) before the date of an event to make sure to cross all my T's and dot all of my i's in person. I'm still a big believer in dealing with people in person.... For certain things a.k.a. special orders, as opposed to dealing with people by text or over the phone just because things like this can happen and I was a little worried Something like this would happen. With that said, again I would order from them again- they did a great job.

    Had these cupcakes delivered to my mom in Greenlawn for her birthday! Each flavor was better than the next. My personal favorite was the red velvet. The cupcakes are stunning and the buttercream was rich and delicious. The most moist and flavorful textures and lasted in the fridge until they were all gone ! Perfect addition to our celebration

I literally bought one mini baguette, took a bite outside the store and walked right back in for 4 more. It is THAT good. The texture and flavor was simply perfect, and having to warmed with a schemer cutter was heavenly.

Not only did these set me back $9 total, but were annoying to eat and not worth the cost at all. The minimal chocolate filling had sunken to the bottom and completely fused to the wrappers, and the muffins were very dry inside, not soft and fudgey like chocolate babka should be. Everything they have looks and sounds incredible, but the two muffins I got were very overpriced and not nearly good enough to be worth it. Additionally, the parking situation is a nightmare, with people parking in spots that don't exist in a lot that's already way too tight.

The cake I purchased for her birthday from another local bakery last year was really dry, so I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. The buttercream frosting was where I felt the cake fell a bit short. It tasted like pure unsalted butter and had almost no sweetness to it, so we ended up just eating the cake center and leaving the frosting. Unfortunate for an expensive cake but based on the other reviews I'm wondering if it was just a one time error.
