This was my first time ordering a cake in Laredo and it was beyond disappointing. When ordering the cake, communication seemed fine and no employee ever said that the request was too complicated or not doable. When I picked up the cake, I was definitely disappointed. I provided inspo photos and again, they said they could do it. The cake I picked up looked like the bad diy version of when someone with no experience tries to do it on their own. I showed friends the inspo pic.versus what I got, and they laughed because it was comically bad. The exterior icing tasted like it had a hint of coconut..I messaged asking them if they had used coconut and they claimed they didn’t. But I have never had vanilla frosting taste like coconut. They have a very very limited selection of fillings (to be fair, this seems to be common in Laredo). Ultimately, I chose to go with Nutella which is an odd option to offer for a cake filling but whatever. You would have had to use a microscope to see the Nutella, it was visually non existent and you couldn’t taste it either. On top of that, the cake tasted dry. Overall, it felt like a waste of money and I will probably opt to get a cake in San Antonio or Austin if I ever need one.

I ordered a gender reveal cake 4 days before the event. Communication was fast and easy through WhatsApp messaging and through their main phone number. I was never faced with rudeness which made ordering a nice experience. I sent an image through WhatsApp of what i wanted and for how many people. It was my first time ever ordering a cake from anywhere so i dont know if the pricing was too much or too little and i dont know if short notice of ordering matters. Ordered a cake for 35 people and it totaled about $150. I had to pay half of the price in advanced and the other half at pick up. When i picked up the cake I was surprised by how beautiful it looked and how it would make a beautiful center piece for the main snack table. The theme was donuts and the cake looked almost exactly as the example image I sent them. They gave me a lot of options for filling and bread but the mommy chose peach jam filling and white bread was the only option we had due to adding the blue coloring for the gender of a boy. I chose this place because reviews mentioned how their cakes taste homemade and the buttercream is amazing, which are things the mommy for the gender reveal wanted. They did not disappoint! Cake flavor was incredible! Im not exaggerating when i say it looked great but tasted much much better. I definitely recommend this shop a lot and will be buying from here again in the future.

We were very disappointed picking up a birthday cake. We were never provided updates on the status, I had to call and make sure it was still ready for pick up. I asked a forest theme shrek cake and got this?? I asked for red flowers and happy birthday on it. There’s nothing on here but cut outs of pictures. I don’t have the time to go back and forth while working and preparing for this evenings celebration. My husband was able to go back and the owner was able to resolve the issue. We appreciate the willingness to make our cake come to life last minute.
