I couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake! It was exactly like the reference photo and so delicious. I was having doubts about the other cake we had booked elsewhere so I canceled and two weeks before. I almost just gave up and ordered a cake from Costco and then I found Takes the Cake and thankfully they were still taking orders. They were kind, easy to order from and clearly did an amazing job bringing my vision to life! Everyone at my wedding loved the cake. It was perfect.

Beautiful cake, excellent service, and I was so happy with everything. The cake was moist and delicious, even the next day. Thank you so much! I ordered better after I was surprised with a cake from her last year for my birthday, which was excellent and beautiful. 10 out of 10 I definitely recommend!!! Also very reasonably priced for the quality of cakes.

Heads up that this bakery takes yearly vacations, and closes their business entirely for that time period. The last two weeks of August. I am having an August wedding and was very disappointed to learn this business is much more "mom and pop" than perceived. No one has mentioned in the reviews that the business closes for sustained period of time. Very odd and unexpected for a business. Please take this warning as you consider working with this company!

Such a wonderful bakery. I found the owner/baker lovely to communicate with. And they made an adorable and delicious cake + smash cake set for my daughter's first birthday. The theme was "strawberries" so these were both white cakes filled with strawberries and Bavarian cream. I will happily buy future cakes from them and recommend to friends and neighbors.

They made the most amazing cake for my daughter's birthday. It looked so fantastic that she almost cried when she saw it. They were very easy to communicate with and answered all my questions. Everyone loved the taste as well.

We chose Takes the Cake to create our wedding cake because their cakes are so delicious and beautiful. Fast forward a few years, time for our first grandbaby's 1st birthday- All the kids insisted that we get a cake from them again. Takes the Cake is now our most delicious family tradition! THANK YOU and wow what a wonderful 1st birthday cake! We all loved it - see you next year

We ordered our wedding cake from Takes the Cake and we could not have been more pleased. Our guests loved the cake as much as we did and the customer service was outstanding. We are preparing to celebrate our one year anniversary and will be ordered another small cake for the celebration. Why freeze the top layer when you can have a whole new fresh cake! Highly recommend.

Wow! What a great experience. I gave them my inspiration pictures and ideas. They truly made it come to life. And can we talk about the delicious chocolate cake. Yummy! My son was so happy! My husband picked up the cake, he mention their service was great as well. So sweet and genuine, just like their cake! Thank you Takes the Cake! Definitely will order again!

I reached out to Takes the Cake for my sister's baby shower and got an almost immediate response and through my entire time working with them they were exceptionally communicative. They went above and beyond my expectations for the flavor of the cake and for the design. I absolutely will use them again for future events. Thank you Takes the Cake!

Loved my cake! Lynn & her team were fantastic, and made everything easy. The cake was not only beautiful but tasted phenomenal! Everyone at the party commented on how delicious it was. Highly recommend. I had the chocolate cake w/Grand Marnier filling

Delicious cake and great service! Plus, it was the best pricing we found comparing 4 local bakeries. Shazi was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. She was super helpful and kind. Up until the day before the wedding we were in communication. They added a support since our cake topper was a little heavy and also added the flowers on site for us.Everyone enjoyed the cake! We had leftovers the next few days and all of our family enjoyed the different varieties. We especially liked their spice cake with bavarian cream, but we also got a layer with lemon, and a layer of chocolate and espresso. Yum!

I got two Birthday cakes for my kids, both came out looking fantastic and they tasted delicious as always.
