Absolute best cake on the East Coast! Not only that, and that should not be understated lol given the quality of the cakes and desserts produced here, but all of the people here are an absolute pleasure to interact with! Chef Michael Baugh is truly one of a kind! He's a nationally renowned chocolate tear he can throw you up a damn

Chef Michael is amazing. His cakes are always delicious. I got a Boston crème cake for my husbands birthday and had it decorated in a Michael Jordan theme

We ordered our wedding cake from the shop, and it was amazing. We had so much fun doing our tasting, too. They will work with you to make sure your cake is exactly what you expect. Tons of options, and the sky is the limit when it comes to decorations.

Chef Michael orders sheet cakes from publix and puts them in his own packaging so his customers are unaware that his cakes were bought from somewhere else. kinda crummy to take credit for a fellow decorator’s work, shame on you!

We had the BEST time with some great friends at Michael’s enjoying a pasta class. He has so much knowledge and is super sweet! He works with everyone and is so patient and understanding. I recommend taking the pasta class and I’m sure all his classes are enlightening and fun for all. My wife and I can’t wait to go back for another one of his classes. We not only made all the food but got to enjoy eating it also. If I could give 100 stars he deserves them!!!!!

Chef Michael is an absolute gem! We did a pasta class for my moms birthday and had the best time. His home is beautiful, humor on point and made for a truly memorable one of a kind birthday. I'm already planning my daughters birthday there. Do not hesitate to take a class with him, you won't be disappointed!

We went to the St. Petersburg Residential area for a private birthday party at Chef Michaels historic home. We had 8 kids and 10 adults. We were instantly greeted by Chef Michael as we parked our cars. He was joyful and in a pizza hat. He took the kids in right away and had them completely engaged. He showed us his space indoors and out and really made us feel comfortable. The kids (& the adults helped) made pizzas. Chef Michael sat us around a large butcher block island and gave us all dough. The kids rolled it out and then topped them with sauce and more than you can think of toppings! We took a little snack break so he could cleanup and sat outside. The backyard is beautiful and a perfect private setting for a party. We went back in and the kids got an 8" cake to decorate. Chef Michael made it fun and explained colors and sprayed each cake whatever colors the kids wanted. Then he brought out a ton of candy toppings for the cake. The kids were smiling so big! Each kid got to bring home their cake in a cake box. We ate our pizzas and then had some homemade gourmet cupcakes that Chef Michael made for the birthday girl. They even had her name and age on top in chocolate. Chef Michael was very engaging and interesting to the kids. My kids had a great time and said it was the best birthday party ever. The "dog show" at the end with his sweet Golden Retriever was really the cherry on top. I won't spoil it, but it really made the kids giggle and laugh. Thank you Chef!

Chef Michael is truly a talented magician in the bakery department. We came to Tampa as out of towners, the day before Wifey's birthday. I called Chef Michael and told him my situation and he more than took care of me. He went above and beyond! He even delivered after hours to our hotel and added a birthday balloon. His Chocolate Raspberry Vegan cake with Buttercream frosting that had a hint of Coffee was so amazing. It made my wife so happy. The fondant decorations had so much detail. We all loved the cake!!! Cake foodies, will not be disappointed. I wish I took more pictures before we started eating. Thank you so much Chef Michael, you're a blessing!!!!

Chef Michael prepared an amazing Groom’s Cake for my son’s rehearsal dinner! He created a “bucket of LaCroix”, which is my son’s favorite drink. He was so creative and easy to work with. Really made it special - thank you!
Chef Michael was amazing! He created a fabulous groom’s cake for my son’s rehearsal dinner based on minimal information. It was easy and memorable. Everyone loved it! Thank you!

Terrible customer service for less than stellar cake. Do yourself a favor and use someone else! Obviously, would NOT recommend.

Chef Michael is a fabulous baker and loves to share his craft. He is entertaining and kids are drawn to him. He makes everything seem so easy. I can't wait to have a private party at his new place. My kids love him.

Chef Michael is an angel! We met back in 2019 when my now husband and I wondered in to his bakery and he without warning he did an amazing and in depth cake tasting. We were sold! He then let us book another tasting with our parents, free of charge of course. He let our family members rank their favorites and help us select our perfect design! He even set up a special cupcake for my very picky mother. Our cake was perfect on the day of! He didn't let us worry about saving a tier and sure enough over a year later, made us a complimentary anniversary cake that was just as stunning and yummy as our actually wedding cake! Safe to say, when the time comes, he'll be making our baby shower cake!
