I love love love wedding cake! When I saw that they made a sweet survival box which is left over cake humps from wedding cakes and icing, I knew I had to have it. I chose the almond cake flavor and almond buttercream. I ordered it online and it was ready when I arrived. The cake was delicious and I think $12 is a good price. I would definitely order it again if I'm having a wedding cake craving. read more

This is a wonderful bakery and Nadine is so talented! We did our wedding cake here and Nadine was so helpful in coming up with a cake design and sampling various flavors to pick our favorite. We ended up liking the flavor of one cake with the icing of another cake and she was happy to work with us to make that happen. The cake turned out beautifully and we had so many compliments from our guests. The storefront is on the smaller end and has a display of some of the wedding cake options. It can get a little cramped inside if there are multiple groups visiting. She also has a travel business with various brochures laid out. She was able to accommodate four of us for the wedding cake tasting in her office. This month, we decided to try out the same flavor again for a family celebration. We were easily able to place the order for an Everyday cake by the online system. While the cake was definitely on the more expensive end compared to other Houston bakeries, the presentation and delicious flavor are so worth it. We opted for the butter cake with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. We picked up on a Saturday for a Sunday event and it stored well in our refrigerator till the day of. We excitedly dug in and the cake was to die for - the whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. We opted for an 8 inch cake which was more than enough for 10 of us and could probably serve around 20 people. I will definitely be keeping Who Made the Cake in mind for future celebrations! read more

We asked for the cake to have sugar petal flowers and they just piped on little blobs and added a sugar pearl in the middle. If they were unable to do what we asked they should have let us know instead of telling us they were capable of achieving what we asked for. The cake was okay. There were lots of holes in the cake itself. It tasted fine but as one of the focal points of our reception it is disappointing that it looked so drastically different than what we asked for. read more

We went in today for our wedding cake tasting and were served three individual platters with eight different cake flavors. Nadine walked us through their album and helped us choose a design that fit our vision. Every cake we tried was amazing! We ended up choosing a three-tier cake with cinnamon and strawberry flavors, plus a groom's cake. The service was excellent, and the pricing was very reasonable. Our total for the three-tier cake and groom's cake was $870, which already includes delivery and assistance with setting up the cake at the venue. read more

Haven't used them yet. Got recommendations for a 10 inch two layer wedding cake with fondant icing and buttercream for our upcoming wedding but we're not sure when the date will be but the cake is $265 if I don't get fondant all over the cake if I get fondant all over the cake it's 300 and something kind of looking for maybe a cheaper place. read more

I had the most pleasant experience today. I came in on my mommy day out and wanted something sweet. I wasn't aware that you have to purchase smaller every day celebration cake items online one day in advance and was ready to sulk in defeat. However, Mr. Jerry was so kind and allowed me to purchase a wedding cake sampler box. These are normally for wedding cake tastings. All the flavors were simply divine! My sweet tooth was satisfied and I will return for future cake orders. Thanks again! read more

We paid over 600$ for our red velvet wedding cake. I emailed who made the cake a month prior to let them know that our pick up person would be there at 10:30am the day of. They replied to my email and confirmed it would be ready. My pick up person showed up at 10:30am and we're told that it would not be ready till 12pm. So, they had to wait over an hour at the shop. Another woman was there (to pick up her order) and two of the cakes she had purchased hadn't even been made. I had wanted a cake from here since I had the most amazing one over 12 years ago at a friend's wedding from this business). Unfortunately, our cake was dry. It wasn't good. We were disappointed. One of our wedding guests actually asked why we even bought that cake and told us she could have baked us a better one for free. A few of my other "foodie" guests had the same comments later when I asked for their honest opinion on the cake. One even told me HEB grocery store would have baked a better, less dry cake. Let me tell you just how bad it actually was: our dog sitter bought us a red velvet cake from "nothing but Bundt cakes". It sat in our fridge for a week before we got home from the honeymoon and it was still better than the cake we got from "who made the cake"! Don't waste your time with this place. They may have had the mojo years ago but that time is long past. They are running on just their namesake now. read more

Went back for seconds...not just a second piece but a second cake! Delicious and good value in central Houston for a detailed, custom wedding cake. Needed to find a new cake vendor for our fall 2021 wedding after we were originally scheduled to get married in fall 2020. Our previous cake vendor said they no longer do wedding cakes except "very, very simple ones" and would not even schedule cake tastings anymore. Was worried Who Made the Cake would be overpriced due to its location, but we were so pleased with the results and taste (old fashioned vanilla buttercream icing with butter cake flavor) of the wedding cake- it was a great value to us (3-tiered wedding cake with peony sugar flower cake topper). We had a 100 person wedding and did not want to spend $600+ on a traditional tiered wedding cake- Nadine worked with us to keep our cake in our budget. We came back months later and ordered a simple birthday cake for a family event in spring 2022, and the divine white cake flavor with buttercream frosting was even better than we expected. Moist and crumbly buy not in a dry way. Tips: 1) Have an idea of what design you want before you schedule an in-person cake tasting. 2) Be ready for a serious meeting for your cake tasting- after all it is a business. Nadine does take the time to draw multiple cake designs for you! 3) If you are very indecisive, perhaps set meetings with other cake vendors first so when you meet with Who Made the Cake the choice is clear. 4) Like most wedding vendors tastings are typically held at inconvenient times during the day during the work week, so be prepared. read more

Great customer service for a wedding cake as well as in general for buying a smaller premium cake for a special time. We worked with Nadine for our spectacular wedding cake. The service was great and quick email communication. The final product was beautiful and tasted delicious! (Mimosa cake and frosting with lemon curd). The lemon curd is my favorite! So delicious and bright flavors we got the same flavors as a cake to buy for our one year anniversary and still the quality remained delicious, light and fluffy texture. Will suggest this place for custom cakes and wedding cakes! Amazing. read more

If had this cake once at a wedding YEARS ago and there wasn't a day that went by that I thought about where this cake was from. Recently I celebrated a birthday and THIS was the exact cake I wanted but didn't know who made the cake. I contacted the person who had this cake at their wedding and they told me the name, "Who Made the Cake." I thought they were just BSing me until they said that THAT was the name hahaha Luckily they weren't too far away. This size cost $50. Amazing, delicious! Just as yummy as I remembered!

Pricey...but excellent artwork and impeccable taste! The cake was actually a replica of my two older sons who graduated in 2012 and 2014. That business has since changed ownership and sadly so has the quality of their cakes. I remember "Who Made the Cake" from my days of planning my wedding but chose another vendor. A good friend of mine offered to help with the planning of all things graduation and recommended them!! The name is catchy but the deliciousness of their cakes is the hook!9 read more

I'm so disappointed in the customer service..I custom ordered a cake before I went out of town..Just to receive an email of cancellation two days before my birthday party. They said that the deadline was Friday. However, I personally gave them the deadline of Friday. I sent them an email explaining that the message for the cake wasn't the right and if they could change it. However, they decided to cancel my order at the last minute. It is so disappointing because my grandma had her 70th birthday cake designed by them... and referred this cake company to me. I am now without a cake and have to hurry up and figure it out... I would never order from this company again. They do not except responsibility and they put their customers at an inconvenience. You've been warned. read more

We ordered two specialty cakes from "Who made the cake" for my father's birthday. (see photos) The staff we dealt with were very kind and responded to emails quickly. I believe we dealt mostly with the husband of the owner. He was very nice. They asked for several photos of the car that we wanted replicated and did a fantastic job! Both cakes looked great!! In the past, when I've seen a super fancy highly sculpted cake, I've often found them to be dry and not flavorful. I was incredibly surprised to find delicious cake under all the elaborate frosting. The car cake was strawberry and the frosting (below the fancy fondant) was really really good! The golf cake was Italian cream and it was delicious! We easily had enough cake to feed 200 people! The price tag for the cakes is really really up there, but we asked for a very special cake and we got what we asked for. We also paid extra for Sunday delivery and set up. They were right on time! When I need another specialty cake, I'll definitely be back to "Who Made The Cake"! read more

Nadine was very friendly and professional. Everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. I'm giving 4 stars because we chose two flavors - Red Velvet and Italian Cream. Red Velvet is me and my partner's favorite flavor and we were a bit disappointed the day of the wedding when we bit into the red velvet and it was dry. Even some of our wedding guests commented on the dryness of the red velvet (which was the majority of our cake). We all loved the Italian Cream - it was flavorful and moist. Again, apart from the Red Velvet being a letdown, everything went smoothly. For the price we paid, I don't feel like we received what we paid for, respectfully. read more

I don't even know where to begin. My daughter and i were so excited for our cake tasting experience at WMTC as we are cake connoisseurs. The place was crowded with travel brochures, Nadine was less than interested in us. She was behind plexiglass, never looked up from her computer. We didn't get options on which cakes we wanted to taste. The cakes were dry, served on flimsy paper plates with solo cups of water. Nadine was actually rude to her employee. We couldn't wait to get out of there. She has a great reputation but i don't know why. Save your money and find another cake place for your cake needs. After our experience she yelled at us to take her travel brochures for my daughters honeymoon (which was already planned by her pilot fiancé'). TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE ALL THE WAY AROUND! read more

Nadine is awesome! We met with her personally to design our wedding and grooms cakes and also tasted their more popular flavors. After meeting with 3-4 other bakeries before Who made the Cake, we immediately knew that we wanted to book with them and signed the contract and made full payment that day. Nadine talked us through all the possibilities for both the wedding and grooms cake. The cakes on our wedding day were absolutely amazing. The wedding cake was gorgeous, the icing flowers were beautiful, and the grooms cake was awesome (R2D2 3D cake for the star wars lovers out there, see pics. I would definitely recommend booking with Who made the Cake! read more

Tasty cakes, bad customer service We did a cake tasting for our wedding cake. The process of setting up a cake tasting was super easy, and Raven was so good about answering emails and questions. We understood things were different as they were in the middle of the pandemic. We set up a virtual appointment with Nadine and we picked up the cake samples. Nadine heard what we had to say and what we wanted. She was really nice and the cakes were really good. After the meeting she sent us a cute e-card saying it was nice meeting us, and that she would send us the quote by the end of the next business day. Two days passed and we got no response from them. We emailed and called for a week. They literally ghosted us. If for some reason they didn't want to work with us, a simple "we're already booked" or "your cake is too small, we're not interested" would have been enough. Instead we got nothing. After the week, we gave up. We don't want to work with someone so unprofessional. Instead we went with someone with equally good cakes and great customer service I'm giving them a two star instead of one because their cakes were really, really good read more

Well, it looks like Nadine paid Yelp to remove my honest and thorough review of this bakery. If only she had spent that money on fixing the mistakes she made and accommodating our requests for my wedding, this place would have had a 5 star review, a repeat customer, and glowing referrals to the 15-20 brides/year we know getting married in Houston every year. Overall, these people don't give a DAMN about you, your wedding, or what you want. They pride themselves on making cakes for celebrity weddings who don't have to deal with the horrible customer service that is Nadine and her staff. So, if you're not a multimillionaire celebrity, don't come here. Cake: Let me start off with a positive. The taste of their cakes are the highest quality and extremely flavorful. Of the five tastings we did in Houston for our wedding, Who Made the Cake had the best tasting cake. Even at our wedding, we had plenty of compliments on the cake! Presentation: We had a special request for the design of our cake for our music themed wedding. We got a 3-tier cake with a printed edible sheet music draped over the tiers of cake with hand made sugar roses on the second tier. We also asked for an edible ribbon to go along the three tiers. This turned into a big ask and because I changed the color theme 1 MONTH before, she said she would not be able to change the color from red to magenta. I'm sorry, are you making my cake 30 days before the wedding? Service: Nadine was very cold and rude during our tasting- asking no questions about what we like or general, "be friendly with your clients" talk. It's our wedding, for god's sake. Pretend to be happy about the occasion. On the day of, they LOST OUR WEDDING TOPPER (which was $75 btw) after they specifically told us we had to mail it to them. They found it a month later but refused to apologize to us for it. They also yelled at my sister-in law and myself (a frantic bride) about delivery logistics. Save yourself the headache on your wedding day by going with any other bakery in Houston. You don't want a terrible cake lady making your family members cry. For a $1200 cake that only fed about 90 people, you have high expectations. But, they are just not met here. -Hungry Hungry Pongy read more

I'll ask (person 3)." 1: "Who Made The Cake?" 3: "I know, right!" 1: [Throws cake] [Food fight ensues] To avoid this at your wedding, just answer with "Nadine Moon of a place called 'Who Made The Cake.'" And as you can see by all 5 of the stars above, she really...takes the cake [drum-roll]. If you are looking for the cheapest cake in town, this probably isn't the place. But if you are looking for the tastiest, best looking cake, and an incredibly dependable and consistent product? This should be the cake for you. 4 times out of 4 it arrived with great fanfare for Muneezeh K. (...er, I guess Muneezeh C. now after the wedding!) and I. "What lavish and extravagant Yelpers those two are, straight out of that Gatsby book/film" I'm sure you thought to yourself, picturing us surrounded by 4 cakes at our wedding/cake eating festival. And while a cake eating festival sounds awesome, we only had two cakes at our wedding (large, tiered bride and smaller groom). However, almost a year prior, Nadine delivered 2 delicious cakes for my sister-in-law and her husband. No doubt the star of all four cakes was my groom's cake (no bias, this was unanimously confirmed). Chocolate cake with chocolate-mint filling--which included CRUSHED UP ANDES MINTS! It was actually MORE awesome than it sounds. Of the large, tiered wedding cakes, our personal favorite was the raspberry w/raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting. But each layer was almost equally excellent. read more

We ordered our wedding cake from Who Made the Cake. It was an all around good experience. I wasn't a Bridezilla though, so my order was really simple. It was also convenient that our apartment was so close to her shop. We just needed a cake big enough for about 100 people. And I wanted it to be blue. What color, Nadine asked, do you have a swatch? I actually laughed when she asked me this. She laughed with me, and said that most brides have a swatch and requires her to mix the color for the frosting exactly. I told her, just blue...whatever you think looks best with chocolate fondant accents. My one picky request was that I didn't want any fondant on my cake, just buttercream or chocolate. Regular fondant is gross, in my opinion. But this was no problem, and I picked out a design that could be replicated without fondant. I only had a 2 month engagement, and so I ordered my cake about 45 days in advance. We had our cake tasting in the morning, and we didn't feel rushed at all as we looked through the books and tried the cakes. We settled on one layer of regular white cake, fudge frosting, then a layer of chocolate cake for each tier, then the whole cake covered in amaretto buttercream with chocolate accents. The design we chose was simple and elegant. Nothing too gaudy or extravagant for me. The cake was about $350 (delivery included) in 2009 when we ordered it. Reasonably priced, I thought. As for the toppers, when we went to our consultation, I hadn't figured out what I wanted to use yet, and so she told me when I had the toppers to just come drop it off. Sure enough, once I get my little rubber duckies painted and ready for the cake, I return and they get placed on our cake without a problem or confusion. The cake was delivered on time and without issue. Everyone commented on how delicious it was and such a nice departure from the typical white on white wedding cake. I gotta say the amaretto buttercream was amazing. It was my husband's choice, and I'm glad I went with it. I was completely satisfied with this experience, and if I ever need a really big cake again, will definitely return. read more

They made our wedding cake and we loved it! Our guests loved it as well! We highly recommend them

The bride-to-be was is tears, and the bridesmaids are furious. The bride, my baby sister, was so excited for her tasting and, having recently tried the cake at a bridal show, was already determined to order her cake today. Too bad they lost her appointment and refused to take responsibility for the error and accommodate her anyways. They had the nerve to tell her there was "another appointment already scheduled"! Because two people cannot be tasting at the same time? Never mind the fact that she and her bridesmaids took time off from work and dress be 30-45 minutes to get there. If a business can't even keep a simple appointment and has such poor customer service to not try to make things right, how can anyone trust them to show up at the wedding months from now?? ***Just an update: Very surprised that the bakery's response was to blame the bride to be. It's unfortunate that instead of working to earn back her business and that of friends and family, they would choose to place blame. Further, the bride is a meticulous planner that lives by her calendar. It would be extremely unlikely that she would schedule a cake tasting on a day when she had so many other things scheduled already. Finally, if a client were to miss an appointment, per bakery's response, why was no phone call made to to reschedule or follow up? Poor book keeping, followed by poor customer service, topped with insult to injury. Shame on you! read more

The cakes are so delicious and amazing. I'll definitely order from them again. Thank you

The girl who took my order was a big help. She helped me decide on the icing and filling. The cake was perfect when i picked it up. I have to say they did no skimp on the icing or the filling. Lots and lots. Let me just tell you sweet sweet. I think it wasbuttercream. I would buy another one...Chocolate next time :-) Different icing. read more

Unfortunately we can't get a redo. When I walked into the reception to look at my daughters cake I was so disappointed. I couldn't believe that it what Nadine interpreted from the appointment and multiple photographs I had sent. First let me say that the cake itself was delicious. The grooms cake was great. But the actual wedding cake was just subpar. The flowers were a horrible blood color. On the order the colors specified were magenta, peach and a touch of purple. During our consultation we stressed colorful wedding. In the photos I had sent there was orange, magenta, pink, ecru, and peach. She had so many choices for colors and textures. Orchids, roses, hydrangea, the variety of flowers and amazing colors were limitless. Just shows me a lack of creativity and care for each cake she puts out. We can't ever get that moment back. read more

Got The Mimosa from my son, Joshua for Mother's Day and I love the texture, taste, and the Super Freshness of treat. Love it, Diane.

I contacted Nadine by phone for a simple graduation cake for my son. I already had favorite cream-filling, cake flavors, and icing because, though this is my first review, this was not the first cake I have ordered from Who Made the Cake. We discussed options, and my expectations vs my budget. I sent her the school colors and gave her a broad idea of what I had in mind the one time we spoke. Nadine was engaging and listened carefully to what I had in mind. After that, I trusted her creativity. Two weeks later, she delivered this cake. Because of the icing, we were able to have it on display for the entire party prior to cutting it. It was so delicious that one boy said "I don't even like cake, but that cake was so good!" The picture doesn't do it justice. My guests are still talking about it! Thank-you, Nadine!! read more

MY MIND IS BLOWN. It's unprofessional to bail on an order, but to show up with NO CAKE or EVEN a phone call to ANNOUNCE the missing $600 wedding cake order IS UNHEARD OF. But alas, it happened. I attended the Manalo's wedding last night and THERE WAS NO WEDDING CAKE. A really kind relative picked up two birthday cakes last minute from a Kroger in the area. It was TERRIBLY unfortunate. It must have been so stressful for the newly wed bride and groom. Also, to my knowledge NO EMAIL or RETURN PHONE CALL or ANY attempt on Who Made The Cake's part has been made as of yet to correct or even excuse the situation. I really hope they get their money back and a huge appology. I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but It might be best to avoid this business. Be sure to see more comments on here from other wedding attendees soon. I know I won't be the first to be astonished by this lack of professionalism. read more
