CAKE

We had two cakes made for my son's 1st birthday. It was basketball/nike theme and both cakes turned out AMAZING! Per usual, we ordered our favorite Banana Truffle flavor. The guests loved it & we loved it! ALWAYS A HIT with the cakes we get made here! Will always be our go-to cake shop!

This review is a little late, but I was reminiscing with my husband about our wedding anniversary coming up, and realized I needed to give praise to this amazing bakery. To begin this review, I need to mention that initially, I did not want a cake at all. We had plans for a very non-traditional wedding and I'm not a huge dessert person. When I do eat sweets, cake and pastry are not my first choice. However, after not being able to decide on a dessert option, I decided to get a cake, if even just for my guests. We also were coming from out of state and tasting was not really an option, so costumer service was very crucial in this situation. Because I'm not a cake person, I was picky. I had eaten pistachio cake that I had really enjoyed from a deli that catered a reception I went to years prior, and I initially tried to get a cake there, but it was too difficult to coordinate. Not many other bakeries in the area offered pistachio as a flavor, but upon my search, I stumbled upon CAKE. They responded to my inquiry almost immediately and asked a lot of detailed questions of what I was looking for in flavor and decor. This gave me ease, as I was not going to see or taste my cake until the day of the wedding. I chose espresso filling, because my husband loves espresso and I had already chosen the cake flavor. Our colors were emerald and charcoal, so the flavors even fit with the wedding palette. I had asked for green palm leaves and black fondant to match our wedding theme. Once I saw the cake, it was exactly what I had imagined. I could not wait to taste it, and once I had, it was even better than I had imagined! There was no synthetic taste at all to the cake, and the espresso filling was a perfect balance of sweet and bitter to the nutty flavor of the pistachio. Though the wedding itself was perfect, guests were raving about the cake, (that I initially never wanted) and it made me so happy! Even months later, I was asked how the flavors came together so well and how I found the bakery. As someone who does not eat cake, I must say that I absolutely adored this one. If ever I need a celebratory cake again, I will be getting it from The Fabulous Cake Girls! ***Note: having a non-traditional wedding, we opted for a Polaroid camera for guest use in lieu of hiring a photographer, so attached are some photos taken by guests with photos of decor for reference!

Pros:* Amazing cake; you can tell it is made from scratch; Recommend the Toasted coconut cake, chocolate cake, and the chocolate truffle filling.* Great price for cake tasting - $25 for 7 flavors; everything was labeled and easy to understandCons:* Disorganized; did not give us half our order and did not have our order ready when we went to pick it up later - I did not feel that I could trust them to have our actual cake ready * Pricey dessert tasting - $25 for 6 desserts. We ended up with 10 desserts, but only 4 types, so I am not sure if they gave us extra or gave us less. * Did not ask us if we had dessert requests and ended up with 4 macarons. I don't care for macarons, so it felt like a waste. * Terrible tarts; this was disappointing since it was the one dessert I was looking forExtra:* The cake was so good that I would order for a not as important event. Something that is casual and doesn't have a timeline.

While the cake looked lovely for our wedding, we were not impressed with any of the flavors and were extremely disappointed with how DRY the actual cake was. It was dry for the tasting and dry the wedding day of as if it were sitting in a fridge for too long. We asked our guests for their thoughts and most of them shared similar opinions and thought the actual cake was "just okay" and dry. We ended up throwing out our topper without touching it as neither of us wanted to eat the cake when it was fresh let alone the next day or a year later. Such a waste...If we're spending hundreds on a wedding cake it better taste and hold up better than anything made from home (this one definitely did not).Unfortunately our venue would not let us choose our cake vendor so we had no choice otherwise we would have gone with another cake or cake-like vendor after the tasting.

The truffle banana and passion fruit cakes were delicious. The buttercream frosting with chocolate roses were beautiful with modern elegance. They delivered on time and were very easy to work with. We added faux tiers, added decor, Jen answered questions quickly about dimensions for getting a cake stand and various options throughout our planning process. Very easy to work with and great product and service!

The staff/artists made it so easy to order. I literally said "I want a birthday cake for a grown adult who loves SpongeBob and it's for Pride weekend too" and they said "Say less, gay SpongeBob it is" and made this amazing cake.

Beautiful AND tasted amazing!!! Yes more, please! thank you so much for your professionalism and artistry.

The Fabulous Cake Girls were amazing!!! The banana chocolate truffe was to die for!!! I couldn't stop talking about the cake and still to this day want more. Communication was great, they exceeded the design I wanted and the cake was so delicious and moist. They also had no problem adding the gold details we requested. Being a destination wedding, I was happy that we went to get a sample box because our original cake flavors we were thinking of getting were not our final choices after tasting the samples. Thank you ladies for a beautiful cake, hopefully soon I can get my hands on another slice of banana chocolate truffle yummmm.Love Lindsey and Amber

This place is amazing!!! They made the best cake for my daughter's birthday party. The attention to detail was incredible! Cake was done earlier than expected and great service! I hope they get more business from the people that attended our party. Thank you!!

Best chocolate cake ever! Thank you for making our daughter's graduation cake a success. It was sooo delicious and spot on with design. The cookies were awesome too. So yummy!! Guests were so impressed with both. They were very accommodating also for such a short notice. Will order again!!!
