Review, storefront visit...I recently visited and had the best customer service experience I've had in a long time. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and went out of their way to help me. Over the past two visits, I've tried several cakes, including the mocha Yule log, peanut butter cake, carrot cupcake, strawberry cake, white cake with berries, and golden cake with fudge frosting. Every cake was perfectly moist with just the right amount of frosting. Each flavor was distinct. As for the buttercreams and fillings they were not overly sweet and he textures were also very smooth. The pickup service was efficient and friendly, making the process quick and pleasant. I highly recommend this place for their exceptional customer service and consistently high-quality cakes. I look forward to coming back. read more

While I used to love this place, when they closed their retail store and now only ship through Goldbelly, the quality and beauty of their product has suffered greatly. Gone are the fall cupcakes that were so beautiful that they used to be the centerpiece of my Thanksgiving dessert table. This year when I opened the boxes of cupcakes that I got through Goldbelly at considerable more cost, while I knew they wouldn't be Fall themed, what I didn't know was that the tops would be all smushed and stuck to the saran wrap. Of the 16 I purchased, only 4 survived intact. They tasted fine but sadly, were no long worth the money. I didn't even put them out. They used to have such great customer service, always met my timing for whatever cake I needed and were really a great local business. Too bad that had to end. Anyone know a good cupcake place that does beautiful custom work? read more

We Take The Cake - Squished cupcakes arriving under Goldbelly. Such a shame from what I used to get here. - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I love the cakes here. But what I loved more was the ability to go to the store in Fort Lauderdale and pick it up myself. There was a discount as it did not need to be shipped. However, they decided to only sell their cakes on line through Goldbelly. What a disappointment. Especially as the reviews of Goldbelly deliveries are really negative. And of course, they cost maybe $30 more to be shipped, and they are not as fresh and could arrive damaged. Unfortunately, I will not be buying any more cakes from them. There are numerous suggestions for other bakeries that do sell locally, all of them pretty close to the We Take the Cake location. Time to move on and support a local business again. read more

This is a review of their nation wide delivery. I've had better but still a very solid coconut cake. It was decadent, not too sweet, and arrived well-packaged and undamaged. Delivered on time in a nice box with dry ice. I thawed it in the refrigerator overnight before serving and it was delicious. read more

Ordered a lovely gingerbread Bundt cake for Christmas and picked it up in their shop. (Sadly, the picture we took is blurry.). The bakery is located in an industrial area off 13th St in Ft. Lauderdale. There are a few dedicated parking spots outdoors. I was greeted warmly upon entering the shop. Some cakes are available on the spot (including cupcakes), but most items you need to order in advance. Our Bundt cake was moist and flavorful. We've had the pumpkin, chocolate, and key lime ones in the past. It comes refrigerated, and is easy to drizzle the icing before you are ready to serve your cake. Every cake I've ever had from We Take The Cake has been delicious and received praised from my friends and family. That's why I keep retuning! read more

The cake looked good, came intact. But it's too moist, lacking in flavor, and sickening sweet. We got the strawberry cake. read more

sent a coconut cake for my birthday and it was delicious and came carefully packed. Loved the cake, delicious, moist and beautiful!

Cute place to get beautiful cupcakes! Looks like a mini flower arrangement in your hand but it is indeed a cupcake! The woman at the register was very kind. It's not a place to sit and eat, but you can take it to go and enjoy it at home or anywhere else. It was fresh and tasted great! read more

I just had a slice of the best Coconut Cream Cake! When it's my birthday, I'm ordering my cake from here. The cake was a small, but it feed about 12 people. read more

I thought my first couple of experiences with We Take the Cake were an anomaly, but I was wrong. I ordered 2 Cakes to be delivered to 2 different addresses (1 in Maine and 1 in California) for a friend's Birthday. BOTH of them arrived a day late. Goldbelly claimed both packages were delayed due to weather. I called FEDEX and UPS and was told there were not any shipping delays to those destinations this week. Goldbelly told me that We Take the Cake did not send the cakes on time and it was their fault. I am never buying another Cake from these people. They don't care about their customers. I'm also contacting Neiman-Marcus (I am a 45 year customer of theirs) and asking that they stop selling their products. We Take the Cake is one of the most outrageously unreliable companies I've ever done business with. read more

We take the cake!! Never lets me down I order via Neiman Marcus and it arrives on time from Florida all the way to pahrump/Nevada in 115 degree HEAT! Arrives immaculate!!!! Thank you so much! read more

I am writing this review to alert others that this company lists all natural ingredients for their cakes online that are totally not what the label on the bottom of the cake box indicates that you are getting. For the price point and the description online, I would expect that I was getting an all-natural handmade cake. Wrong, I received a science experiment, that would have cost at least half if I were to order it from a grocery store, and I would know that I was not getting a handmade cake. Plus, they now go through a company called Gold Belly for their shipping and this company has lots of delays and the dry ice they add is never sufficient for FL heat. All in all, this is not an experience I would want to have again. read more

Pleasantly surprised, key lime hit those tastebuds as it should. Will buy again, try it and thank me later. We bought it for a bday celebration and it stayed perfectly in the fridge until the event. It was moist, tart, and dangerously addictive, nearly ate the entire thing. Pairs excellent with coffee if you're into that. I am. Also, ordering was super easy, I've recommended it all my friends and fam for their next brunch event or heck even for yourself. Because self love, right? Was skeptical fyi due to high profile reviews, but as your humble critic, I say try it, you won't regret it. They hype lived up to reality. Plus, now the box doubles as a cute toiletries holder ;) read more

One of those "I would give zero stars if I could" reviews. Their $90 cakes look absolutely nothing like they advertise online. When you reach out to them directly, they ignore you. Then when you proceed to comment on their Instagram photos advertising the cakes to warn other people, they delete the comments. I wouldn't risk giving them a penny of your money. Photos showing what we ordered vs what we got. You guys definitely take the cake for terrible business practices and terrible cakes. read more

I ordered a cake to be sent to my friend for her birthday. It arrived on time and intact. The cake was beautiful but it imploded shortly after unpacking and putting in the fridge. The top collapsed into the middle of the cake. What a mess. I was embarrassed and very disappointed. Will NOT use them again. read more

I've seen quite a few negative reviews when ordering from here through Goldbelly so wanted to share my experience to not steer customers away from ordering a cake online. I ordered the 4-layer chocolate cake and it arrived on the exact date I requested. Additionally, it was perfectly packaged. The cake was well wrapped and there was extra thick tissue to fill the space between the cake and the box, which kept the cake from moving or being damaged in transportation. FYI I live in California, so it is a long way to go from Florida. I got the birthday chocolate cake and loved that it came with colorful candles, very convenient. The cake itself was delicious! The birthday boy LOVES chocolate and he gave it a 10/10 - loved the cake! So if you're a big chocolate fan it's a great cake. Personally I do like chocolate but am not obsessed with it, so it was honestly too much chocolate for me and I couldn't even finish my slice. It was very decadent. Again, great cake if that's the type of cake you're looking for! Definitely recommend giving them a chance by ordering through Goldbelly, although I do feel bad for all the reviewers here who received the wrong or damaged cake. read more

So, if this place existed during Medieval times, it would be burned as a witch because there is some freaking magic happening here. I stumbled on them when looking for a gluten free cake for my hubs on Williams Sonoma. I was NOT disappointed. Some folks say, "Oh you can't tell it is gluten free," and then it still tastes like flavored sand. This cake (their chocolate layer cake) could easily pass for non-gf. This will be my go-to cake place from now on, even if I have to get it shipped. If you are considering a cake from here, stop your search and just order. read more

I saw the black rose cake with red velvet interior on Goldbelly and had to have it. My husband ordered it for my birthday. The box and packaging was lovely. Only downside, all the roses were smashed when we opened it because of the Saran Wrap. We followed the instructions and let sit to room temperature before serving. It was beautiful to cut open and delicious to eat! As soon as we opened the box I could smell chocolate! Great Halloween cake!! The cakes are pricey. This one was $75. The price does include shipping. read more

I ordered a birthday cake for April 17th. It arrived on time and the box looked intact. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and saw that the cake was smashed on two sides. Previous cakes arrived in great condition. This one appears to have been shipped from New York rather than Florida. It was warm when it arrived and that probably explains why it was in such bad shape. When I complained to Gold Belly, they said sometimes cakes don't arrive "exactly" as shown in the pictures. They offered me a $15 discount if I made another purchase. They must be kidding! read more

I am not a strawberry cake eater, but this one is phenomenal! I ordered it because of the great reviews, and it did not disappoint. It's extremely moist and full of fresh strawberry flavor. O.M.G! It was as good as my wedding cake (which people talked about years after my wedding), and this cake arrived by mail. I can't wait to try the coconut cake next. By the way, I ordered directly through the company's website in case there was a problem rather than ordering through a reseller company. read more

Terrible experience. Cake was 4 days late! And then on top of that it was the wrong cake. A gluten containing cake was sent when gluten free was ordered for someone with gluten allergy. They did not ship the cake in time and so the bday party had no cake. It arrived 4 days later. Party was over (for which we had no cake!) & it was squished & safety was questionable anyway by the time it arrived. Maybe it was a good thing that it arrived inedible because we ordered a gluten free cake for someone with a gluten allergy and this cake was not even gluten free! Didn't say happy bday either. Sent the wrong cake. Whole thing went right in the trash. Cake was refunded so they got that right. But never again with this place. read more

This place has amazing cakes, very very delicious. They deliver wall around the east coast and when your cake arrives it's very fresh, I went with the strawberry cake and it was so good everyone loved it. It looks like this place does all kinds of cakes and I can't wait to try something else but I'm telling you if you like strawberry cakes then this is the place, the frosting isn't two sweet and it's just right. read more

I liked the cake it's not great like people write about I've definitely had better . I bought it from the store and it is frozen so you need time to defrost it. My guests enjoyed it . It is a little on the expensive side and the cake looks better on the website than it did in person I think they glammed it up for the photo shoot. read more

My son wanted do something special for Mother's Day since we couldn't take any of our usual local outings. He decided to create a "distanced" themed backyard picnic (we have a big backyard so it was easy for the 6 of us to stay far apart) and included a strawberry cake from We Take The Cake. Sweet, light, beautiful and oh-so-satisfying - it was fabulous! Bear in mind, and here's the amazing part, this bakery is in Florida and we live in Washington State! How that cake got here in such perfect condition boggles my mind. The next time you want to make someone feel loved and special, or want to sweeten up your locked-down life, I suggest a visit - in person or by mail - to We Take The Cake. read more

We Take The Cake - Anticipation.... and great incentive to eat her dinner! - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

OMG we just tasted the mini key lime bundt cakes we gave our wedding guests - they are gonna lose their minds! Well, that assumes they didn't inhale them in their cars leaving the wedding. If they tasted it, they did. We just wrestled the box from each other, promising to eat more later, after breakfast! We ordered a 9" four layer chocolate cake with chocolate filling. The whole top of the cake was covered with cream flowers. It was so rich and so delicious that guests were shouting this out as they ate the cake. Adults. At a wedding. Yes, this was after we ate tons of food. I was concerned we'd run low on cake, given last minute guest rsvp changes. (Hey, it's a wedding - for G-d's sake have the courtesy to rsvp - and do it weeks, not days before the wedding.) I went online and watched a video of Ron Ben Israel cutting a round cake. I did it at the wedding after Vinny did the sign of the cross a coupla times! It worked!!!!! Here's how to get the most out of We Take The Cake's not-to-be-wasted round cake: Cut straight across the cake, about 1/3 in from the edge. Do the same on the other side. Then cut slices on the bias (opposite of how you'd naturally cut the slice) and flip the slice onto the plate. This cake was so cream covered I didn't flip the slices but no one cared or noticed. We wound up taking the center of the cake home! Yesterday I served 5 portions and STILL have more left. The cake is said to serve 20 but that'd be if you made traditional wedge slices. Don't. The cake is so decadent and rich you won't need a hunking piece. Plus it's extra tall so the slices are too. Jean is the wedding coordinator. She kept in touch and kept to her promises. We got the cake and mini bundt cakes delivered to the wedding venue. Intact and beautiful. She charged what we agreed on and she was accountable to answer any questions. I will use We Take The Cake for future cake needs because the only thing more beautiful than their cakes is their taste. read more

I ordered the 4-tier Pink Rose Buttercream Frosted Chocolate Cake from We Take The Cake using 1800Flowers online, and everything worked out perfect! The cake was a gift from me to my grandma for her 94th birthday. She's in Arizona, where it's extremely hot right now (being August!), and I've seen many food, flowers, and other items ruined during delivery because of the extreme heat there. So I was worried about how the cake would make it from the baker in Florida, but it arrived in great condition - no melting or ruining of the decorations. It was shipped overnight via FedEx. The cake was a huge hit! My grandma was delighted by the chocolate cake's pink rose design on the gold cake round bottom. She's a big fan of chocolate, so she loved the taste and so did everyone at her party. I'm so glad I took a chance and made this order and would definitely order from We Take The Cake again. Thank you We Take The Cake for making my grandma's 94th birthday so special! read more

This was the second time I ordered the chocolate cake and paid extra for overnight shipping. Ha! It shipped 2nd day after a lengthy discussion about shipping to California in June. The cake arrived a day after my nephews anniversary ruined. Maybe if you are closer to Florida and the weather is cooler but never again for me. I got reimbursed the $35 for shipping but not the $83 for a ruined cake due to an error I believe on their end. read more

I ordered my Mom a cake for her birthday. I ordered it on July 7th and scheduled it to be delivered on the 16th (her birthday). They made a mistake and ended up shipping it out the next day, so it arrived on the 10th. However, when I asked them why it was being shipped early, they gave me a full refund because of the mistake, without hesitation. Furthermore, my Mom loved the cake - both in presentation and flavor. In my opinion, the great quality and customer service is worthy of 5 stars even with the mistake. Also, I'd like to point out that I found them on Gold Belly but went to their actual website to place the order. I recommend to anyone to always look for the real website of any business and order from them directly. They will get more of the money for their own products and it will be easier to get in contact with them if there are any issues - instead of going through a third party. read more

I ordered a cake well in advance and when it arrived it was a mess. The sides were cracked and the layers had shifted. The dry ice had melted even though it was May in Chicago and not that warm. I paid almost $100 for the cake and it was a waste of money. I had no time to run out and get another cake and had to be embarrassed when I presented it and served it. read more

I ordered through Goldbelly and since I can't leave a vendor review there I will leave it here. I have a St. Patty's day birthday and on 3/11 I ordered the St. Patrick's Day cake. It was to arrive on 3/17. We Take The Cake did not ship my cake out in time and I received it on 3/18. It also arrived smashed on one side. I asked Goldbelly for a credit/refund and all they gave me was a $15 credit on my next order. If you are having a cake shipped beware! I feel like it would have taken a little more effort from them to make sure the cake was delivered on time. I live in Orlando, so it is not like there were any shipment/ weather delays. read more

Not as good as it used to be. The key lime Bundt cake has gone downhill over the last two years. This has been my go to birthday cake for many years and the last two years it has not been the same. It used to have a strong key lime flavor drizzled throughout the Bundt cake and this has disappeared. It is now a bland cake with a mediocre icing. I gave it another shot this year hoping I got a bad batch last time and was disappointed again. Will not order this cake again. Can get a better tasting cake at Publix for less money. read more
