Oh, What A Cake!

I was freaking out because I forgot to order a cake for a birthday party on the weekend. I knew I wanted it to be customized too so that added to the dilemma. I happened to come across this bakery, which I AM SO GRATEFUL the universe did so. I placed an order through their online form on Wednesday (at 11:30pm - i said i forgot lol!) for a FRIDAY pick up time. I received a reply from the owner Thursday morning at 9am. We had all the details settled by 12pm that day. I went to pick up my cake and was super impressed! Exactly what I wanted. As for taste of the cake - everyone who had a slice raved on how good it was! So, I think I may have found my go to bakery for birthday cakes / other special occasions.An added bonus - the price point wasn't bad. I paid $80 for a cake that feeds 12-15 people. I've heard other places charge $120. I also loved that my money went to a locally owned business.

I went over the weekend for theire free fall dessert samples. Great customer service. I was greeted when I walked in. They sell cupcakes, brownies, cookies, etc. They do customize cakes. You can tell your in at a cake business by the decorations. The business is very nice and they make you feel welcomed. From the event, I ordered 2 cupcakes, Apple Carmel and Sweet Potato.

Yummmmmmy and oh so moist. I wish they were closer. I live in VA and was working in Columbia and wanted something sweet. Needless to say I will be visiting again when I come up to the area again. It was right after Thanksgiving so the selections were limited but they made it for it in taste.

Amazing job by these talented bakers!! They were a pleasure to work with - super responsive and creative. The Yoda they sculpted out of Rice Krispies treats and fondant was a work of art.

My mother was busy with work and was pretty hungry, and craving sweets, so she ordered from Oh, What A Cake! We were not disappointed. The fact that you can order when feeling lazy was great! Brownies, snicker-doodles, cupcakes, oh my!! The snicker- doodle looks less appetizing in photos, but maybe it's just the awful lighting! The frosting, and the plain brownie were delish, and we have been getting the cupcake for months!! The only regret I have is not getting two brownies!!

3.5 stars Finally got to try out this bakery after driving by it several times. I freely admit that I am a little spoiled when it comes to bakeries and cakes. There is so much that goes into the experience for me way before that first bite of cake. When you walk into a bakery, the way it looks, the smell, and the service immediately start setting the tone. I ordered a dozen cupcakes to try out with a couple of friends. Do note that there is a difference in price between "premium" and regular cupcakes ($2.50 vs. $2.75). What is a premium cupcake, you ask? Anything other than chocolate or vanilla. Who knew? The cupcakes are pretty small, barely cresting the wrapper. They are moist, fresh, but for me, the frosting to cake ratio was inadequate. I am a bit particular on this, but Mrs. T and J. think the balance was just fine. Their overall score 7/10.The shop was pretty dark (low lighting, not much in the way of the decor) and seemed quite disorganized. An attendant was assisting a customer with an order, and another customer and a kid were waiting at the register. The lady taking the order looked at me when I walked in, didn't bother saying "hello," "welcome," or "someone would be right with you"--nothing--0/10 on friendliness. The lady who served me was not wearing gloves when she started setting the cupcakes in the crate and when I asked her to put some on. She said she had just used hand sanitizer but thankfully did end up putting on a glove.

I'm giving 2 stars because the customer service was good. The lady that took care of me was very nice. My eggnog cupcake however.... DRY! I, so wanted this to be amazing! The icing was OK. But the cake itself was so dry. I also purchased a mini pineapple upside down cake. I'm crossing my fingers.

Oh, what a cake! is a hidden gem nestled in the corner of Columbia. The cakes are delicious; a sweet treat with just the right sugar rush. There is fantastic variety from soft and chewy sugar cookies, to maple bacon cupcakes, to gorgeously decorated cactus themed cakes. Importantly, they also have a fantastic, inclusive menu with vegan options that are not just present but AMAZING. My family devoured the vegan lemon cupcakes I bought and they have become a family favorite. The service is wonderful, the owner Marcia is incredibly kind and accomodating. Her expertise and skill puts you immediately at ease when ordering cakes and other sweet treats. The staff are all lovely people and I love getting their recommendations on what treat is best. This shop is a sure bet when it comes to ordering delicious cakes!

Oh, What a Cake did an amazing job on my son's birthday cake. I provided a picture and they delivered. My cake was very fresh and taste amazing. I received lots of compliments from my guests.

Cupcakes weee FRESH, I enjoyed the chocolate and vanilla buttercream as well as the carrot cake! I went in on a Monday afternoon and it was very fresh!
