Custom Cake
Luis W.

You know, I took a chance on Virginia's Cakes because of some of the reviews. My overall experience with Virginia's was amazing from the moment I walked in. I was greeted by a very nice lady, who then directed me to someone else for ordering my daughters 13th birthday cake. We discussed the details of the cake and I can say I nor my daughter were disappointed. We ordered the cake from the image attached from her favorite show. The flavors we picked were Strawberry cake and their version of white cake. The cake was amazing! Soft, fluffy, moist and flavorful! We even had a strawberry filling between the layers which was a nice touch. I cannot thank Virginia's enough for making my newly turned teenager a very happy young lady! I will be back in August for my cake!

Wedding cake

We got married at Magnolia Bells and one of our options in our venue package was to have our wedding cake done by Virginia's. And let me just say, this was one of, if not the best, decisions we made regarding our wedding day. I am not a huge cake person, but knew I wanted a vintage style cake and they knocked it out of the park! The cake was not only beautiful, but tasted incredible!! All of our guests raved about how it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. They also package you up a "honeymoon cake" for you to take home after the wedding- we are saving it for our 1st anniversary and cannot wait to eat it again! They are so sweet and easy to work with, would absolutely recommend!!

Oh my gosh!!!!!! Our cake was so amazing and just how I wanted it!! One of the best tasting wedding cakes I've had ! Thank you for being a part of my special day!

My Fiancée's cake.
Sage V.

I ordered my Fiancée's birthday cake this year from Virginia's. This was my first time buying from here and was very impressed with how the cake came out. I was within the 5-7 minimum allowance for a cake to be ordered, but they made it on the date I needed it, which I very much appreciated. I arrived earlier than my scheduled pick up appointment, but the cake was ready and waiting for me. I appreciated that as well because I was on a tight schedule. When I arrived, the customer service was good, and my buying experience was pleasant. The cake made my Fiancée very happy. She said it was the cake she's been waiting for and it was the best she's had in a long time. It was well worth the money I paid for it. As of now, I plan on returning at least once a year. I believe they told me my bakers name was Jennifer. Jennifer, I thank you very much for your hard work on my cake. You and your work are amazing.

I've ordered from Virginia's cakes for over six years, from baby showers (all three of my kids), to bridal showers and birthdays and today will be the last time they get my business. I've had a negative experience before but did not review about it because it was resolved. I ordered two cakes, an eggless cake (pictured) and a regular three layer ombré cake (didn't get a chance to take a photo, but it was to be a green to white ombré). I spoke to Tracie on the phone and described exactly what I wanted. Went over the details several times and even sent an email with instructions on what I wanted. Went to pick up the cakes (drove almost an hour) and there was NOTHING ombré about the three-layer cake. The whole cake was green, a smeared green look at that, something I could have done at home. Not AT ALL what I asked for. Brought it to Virginia's attention and she talked to me as if I did something wrong or failed to provide proper instructions, saying to me over and over "it was not on the order" I even showed her the email where I outlined how I wanted the cake, still she was not apologetic. Her attitude was dismissive, deflecting, and uncaring. Gave me the option to fix it but I had to come back later (not an option as the party was in a few hours and I drove almost one hour to get there). She then offered me a $20 discount on a $70 cake that was nothing like what I ordered. A discount and take as is, or refund and go with nothing. I ended up returning the cake (which I hope since they kept it that it went in the trash). I know it wasn't Virginia's fault that the lady who took the order originally didn't properly notate all of the details on the order. But as the business owner it is her responsibility to take responsibility (which I didn't see a glimmer of until it was too late), be empathetic and provide the highest level of customer service in a situation like this. Now the eggless cake (pictured) is where the one star comes from. If I can make an eggless cake better than a professional bakery, there's a problem. I paid $33 dollars (6" with strawberry filling) for a severely dense, extremely DRY, lacking flavor cake AND NO STRAWBERRY FILLING. The texture was like a cross between dry cornbread and bread pudding. I know eggs provide that fluffy texture in baked goods, but there are other ways to make an eggless cake moist and crumbly. Surely there was a trial phase to an eggless cake and there's no way this passed QC. Don't put your name behind a product that is extremely subpar. Just say you don't make it or don't make it at all. Extremely disappointed with this experience. Will not recommend to anyone else and will most certainly never return.

Birthday Cake
Naveen V.

Ordered birthday cake 3 days prior to the event. My family members enjoyed the cake. They loved the decoration, texture, and taste. Overall, happy with everything. I recommend this place.

I had a month to plan my wedding back in August. Let me tell you Virginia and her team did an amazing job with my wedding cake. I got a small two tier cake with Italian wedding cake on the bottom and cream cake on top (I believe-it's been a while lol). However, they did a great job on giving me exactly what I wanted.

I love Virginia's. From their café lunches to their display baked goods to their custom cakes, I always have a positive experience with this company. I recently had a Halloween/hysterectomy party, and Virginia's was able to take the photograph I sent them of a round cake I found online and turn it into a delicious 9"x13" two-layer strawberry cake. My party guests thought it was hilarious, and it tasted amazing. My husband and I will definitely continue to get both custom and everyday treats and lunches from Virginia's for years to come!

$60 for this... Not worth it.
Juan K.

I paid about $60 for a small simple white cake with black letters that had 5 words in it and they couldn't even get that right. The funny part was that they were the ones who advised us not to get icing for the letters because it would stick to our teeths and instead spray it on there. All in all, the cake tasted like I got it at krogers but paid 5 times more and made a mistake trying to support a local business

anniversary cake
K A.

Oh...Ms. Virginia's cakes...YUMMY!!!! My hubs and I found her by chance when my original baker for my wedding unexpectedly...died. (Seriously, he was murdered.) So, in a rush, I went online looking for a new baker and VIOLA! there was Virginia's cakes. I gave her a very rough idea of what I wanted and gave her the "I have to have" list and the "if it looks good, do it" list and let her go to work. On my wedding day, when I first saw the cake, I cried. I was so beautiful: 3 tier white with plumeria cascading down. She made us a cake with 3 different flavors: strawberry, pineapple, and lemon filling between the lightest/fluffiest cake I have ever had! We ordered a total of 3 cakes (grooms, wedding, and my dad's bday cake) and they were all gone! (We only had about 50 pple at the wedding.) Ms. Virginia made a pool table for my hub's cake complete with bottles of soda on the rails, a pool cue, chalk, and the pool balls. It was awesome! Then for his birthday a month later, I ordered a set of cupcakes that she made into pool balls, complete with the triangle and the chalk. Ms. Virginia is incredibly creative and she is able to make the BEST cakes ever! We ordered our anniversary cake from her, another bday cake for my father, my hubby is getting me a bday cake from her, and I ordered another cake for his bday from her too. The ONE snag in the linen is that she has an assistant now that she didn't have before who is...pretty clueless. I emailed them on 12/2 to say I wanted the cake for hubs made (I've always emailed before and never called Ms. Virginia) but my hubby told me on 12/14 that there was no record of the order...WHAT?!? I re-emailed and the assistant told me "you have to call us to OFFICIALLY order the cakes" when I replied I never had to before and THAT GOLDEN PIECE OF INFO wasn't in the email and it SHOULD be, she just giggled. Wow...stellar.. She then went on to say that they could make the cake...how nice... But, b/c of the great experiences we have had in the past, in the long run the cakes are worth it.

Thank You for the beautiful and tasty B/D cake. We all enjoyed the Lemon / buttercream it was wonderful. I will be back ...

I was recovering from a cold so I decided to order a hot herbal tea and was happy to see that they had such a huge selection of loose leaf teas to choose from. My friend also got one of their lattes and we couldn't resist getting a tiramisu before leaving. Overall, we liked everything and I think this place is worth a visit for that Kafeina latte. - Kafeina Latte (4/5): The lady told us that this latte was half white chocolate and half pistachio and we could definitely tastes both flavors. I really liked how they put a lot of pistachio pieces in the drink, giving it a crunchy texture. This drink is definitely on the sweeter side though, so keep that in mind. - Nutty Almond Cream Cinnamon Herbal Tea (4/5): I was very happy with the flavor of this tea. Like the name suggest, it tasted very almond-y and had a good amount of cinnamon flavored. There was also a tangy fruity flavor that followed and reminded me of spiced cider. - Tiramisu (4.5/5): I was really impressed with their tiramisu. The mascarpone layer was very nice and custardy, yet felt so light and refreshing. I also loved how strong the coffee flavor was which helped balance out the dessert and made it not too sweet. Service/Ambiance: Upon entering, I was really surprised by how pretty the interior was with the mixture of gold and wood. I'm not sure how pack this place usually gets because I came at an off time ( like 1 pm), but they had a good amount of tables and seating available. I did see a handful of people studying, so I think this would be a good quiet study spot.

Now we live over 30 minutes away and still try to find an excuse to justify driving that far just for our favorite coffee. That should tell you how good it is.

The baklava was sweet as it should be. The sweet syrup soaking the bottom of the nut and Pistachio crust was really light and tasty. The phyllo was very flaky and tasty.

I understood they were having power issues and were operating on a generator. Their tablet system appeared to be working, as I could see my order while placing it. I was making a large order for my coworkers and needed an itemized receipt. When I asked for one, I was told they couldn't provide it due to the power outage. I then asked if they could pull up my order on the tablet so I could take a photo of it, and I was told "yes, one second." However, after my order was ready and I followed up, the staff member seemed irritated and repeated that they couldn't provide a receipt because of the power issue. I clarified that I only needed to take a picture of the order on the screen, which I thought we had already agreed on. I also didn't realize that every add-on they offer comes with an extra charge. For example, when asked what kind of milk I wanted, it wasn't mentioned that 2% milk (which is typically the default) had an upcharge. Additionally, when a soft top was offered for an iced drink, it wasn't disclosed that it was a $1.50 extra charge. This was frustrating, as these add-ons were suggested by staff without clarifying the additional cost. While the issue was eventually resolved, I left feeling unhappy with the overall experience. I did return once afterward, but between the inconsistent beverages and the lack of transparency around pricing, I don't think I'll be coming back.

A simple smile or "I think this might be the wrong order" would've gone a long way. Instead, we got the hospitality equivalent of an automated email.

We decided to experiment a little and grabbed the lemon, dot gelato cake, and several of the mini iced treats. Now visually?! 10/10. These treats are absolutely beautiful and almost too cute to disturb. Taste-wise, though... this is where they lost us a little. The texture of the lemon just wasn't quite for me personally.

The dot cake was probably our winner of the day and the one we enjoyed most. Overall, I'm still glad we stopped in and gave the viral treats a try.
