The Most Scrumptious Custom Cakes in Detroit

Dairy Fairies Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (9)

"I've recently started coming to Dairy Fairies. ‍ The ambience and atmosphere is really nice and relaxing with instrumental music of all genres that just puts you in such a good mood. My favorite coffees and treats here would have to be a caramel macchiato with sweet cold foam, I get my caramel sugar free for diet restrictions, but the staff will work with you to customize as best as they can to your liking. I also like the egg and cheese on a croissant or a bagel. Really hits the spot! The staff are really friendly and personable people. They have fun treats such as crepes, milk cakes, boba tea which is a fun item to have on the menu, I haven't seen a lot of cafes offer that around here, so that's a nice twist! I've tried the lotus milk cake and it is really good. They also have the Dubai bar and sell the entire bar or the pieces in individual squares for $1 each. This place is nice for friends, families, students and is a great co working space!"

Sweetheart Bakery

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (10)

"Sweetheart Bakery did our wedding cake and dessert table and our guests talk about how good it was every time we see them! The whole staff was friendly, prompt, and saw our vision of our cake perfectly. Truly professional and passionate about their work. Our dessert spread included cupcakes, mini cake, Eclairs, cannolis, and macaroons. They were such a hit and the cupcake filling was to die for. Our wedding cake had so much beautiful detail and was so tasty. I would recommend them for any of your special events or family gatherings! Stop by and give some of their goodies a try!"

Iversen's Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (45)

"I grew up in Detroit with Iversen's just down the road, near the SE corner of Grand River and Lahser (that's "Lasher" to you non-Detroiters!) in Redford, Michigan.They moved to Dearborn years later and this is a more recent relocation within Dearborn.The cookies with buttercream icing (made with real butter and you can taste it!) are tender and buttery but royal icing would be better and less messy!The cupcakes are beautiful little creations, with creative flavors like German Chocolate and Chocolate Overload, piled high with frosting.My other half went here to get my birthday cake for me, as I'd grown up with a duo birthday cake from Iversen's (my sister's is a week before so we would have a big sheet cake with Santa and reindeer on it!).It was a sweet, light feeling marble cake with tons of buttercream frosting, a holiday decorations and when he got it home, I put my vintage Santa and sleigh on it, just for old time's sake.Pricing is good ($22 in late 2018) for an 8 generous serving cake that's fresh-made by a real bakery!"

Sweetalicious Sweets

★★★★☆ 4 (37)

"I love this place. I've ordered from here numerous times and always recommend that others try it out. Customer service is always on point, quick and friendly. They make the cheesecake cups when ordered. The customer space is small with only one small table and two chairs but that's okay. Highly recommend!"

44 Scoops

★★★★☆ 3.9 (38)

"So many selections of different brands of all excellent ice cream. Cute inside. Will visit again!"

Edita's Cakes

★★★★★ 4.8 (20) • $

"My favorite cake place!!! Family owned and operated and they are so pleasant to work with. Each cake is absolutely beautiful and tastes even better. They do tend to have many orders so if you plan on ordering, make sure to do it ahead of time! Highly recommend Editas gorgeous, tasty cakes!"

Kalindi's Cakes and Pies

★★★★★ 4.6 (37)

"We stop here for the first time to get some baked goods for my birthday dessert and we loved everything that we got (coconut cream pie, apple dumpling, cassata cake) and definitely planned to go back! We were also offered a free cookie each since it was our first time and the peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies were great! The gentleman helping us out was very nice. My only suggestion would be to have signs in the case letting you know what the items are, the cost, and if they contain any common allergens. We had to ask him to describe every item for us."

Shatila Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (11)

"This new Shatila literally opened across the street from the subdivision I grew up on. Every time I drove by the construction with the big "coming soon!" sign I would curse under my breath that they weren't here when my family was living there. But alas, it's probably for the best, since I'd probably be there every day. I was able to pop over shortly after they opened and had a great experience. The decor is very relaxing (the fountain!) with loads of seating and tons of treats to choose from. I ended up choosing a few treats to take home, a few slices of knafeh, some of the European style mini cakes, and a plate of awamat. Everything was delicious! It was early in their opening so they had loads of folks running behind the counter so it didn't take very long to go in and out. I was taking mine to go but staying in and dining would also be a very nice experience."

A' Fondant

★★★★★ 4.8 (37) • $$$

"Let me add my voice to the chorus of admiring fans of this bakery. We ordered the cake for my parents' 75th wedding anniversary (that was not a misprint) party here. The ordering was done completely over the phone where she guided us on all of our options. The marble cake with vanilla buttercream frosting was outstanding. Two months later, the guests are still talking about how wonderful the cake tasted and looked.I will order from here again."

Vito's Bakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (10)

"Love Vito's! This was our first time at their Washington location & it's just as good as the Clinton Twp. I always get the muffaletta slice cut in half because they are HUGE The coconut cake is always a fun little treat too"

Trifles - West Bloomfield

★★★★★ 4.6 (43) • $$

"This is a hidden gem! We had the pleasure of meeting Gwen and tasting some of the best cupcakes, cookies, and danishes! We walked in to take a box of treats home for a gathering. Gwen was helpful in telling us the flavors, what's popular, and what she had in the back in case we wanted more of a certain type. We got the Carrot Cake, Black Forest, and Caramel Apple cupcakes. After cutting them into pieces to split, we loved them all! Full of flavor and just enough of everything. They weren't dry, they had a perfect amount of frosting, and tasted great. We also ordered the Apple, Raspberry, and Strawberry danishes. Those were tried the next day with coffee and were great too. The added touch of fresh fruit on top was a nice treat and made it easy to differentiate which flavor was which. They have a nice amount of fruit filling and crust surrounding it to avoid a mess while eating. She also threw in some apricot pocket cookies that were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall, we liked everything we got from here. Gwen mentioned that their specialty at the bakery were special orders. It's best to order in advance and pick up. While we enjoyed what we got, the selection does show its best to order ahead as there isn't a vast selection when you walk in. We will likely be back to special order our cakes and treats!"

Elite Sweets

★★★★☆ 3.7 (95) • $$

"We enjoy their cakes, but after an unpleasant encounter we decided to go elsewhere.At a nearby restaurant a few weeks ago, an adjacent table had a yummy looking cake that I recognized as being from Elite Sweets. They told me that Elite Sweets sells their cakes at half price during their last hour of business (between 4 and 5) on Saturday. The next time I stopped into Elite I asked, and the woman working the counter confirmed it. Fast forward to today. We were nearby at about 4:30 and decided to see what cakes were still available. A different woman waited on us and, when I asked about the cakes being half price, she scoffed and said "I don't know who told you THAT!" as if I was making it up. (Umm, it was the woman standing next to you.) So, either they changed their policy within the last week (doubtful) or the discount is given selectively; either way, her tone and dismissive attitude were very off putting. I wish businesses would realize that how you make people feel matters. I will certainly think twice before going there again."

BT's Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (31)

"this is the best bakery in the state! my family and i have been coming here for years and the cakes and cupcakes never disappoint. the staff are always super friendly and accommodating and the buttercream frosting with chocolate ganache is to die for. next time you're craving sweats come check out their display or do a custom order!"

Josef's European Pastry Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (119) • $$

"First time trying Josef's and we were not disappointed!We popped in on a whim, mid-afternoon on a Thursday and they had a variety of orders coming in from a pretty consistent flow of customers. We tried chocolat croissants, cannoli, mini sugar cookies, fruit pastries... all of it was very good, flavorful & fresh.We live a couple of hours away but will have a local bring us goodies next time they visit!"

Homestead Kitchen - Artisan Cakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (27)

"I first heard about Homestead thru the Yelp Eloise Asylum event. I loved their little cakelets so much that I ordered for my own personal Halloween party. It was an easy process emailing the owner, Trina, and paying online. When I picked it up, they of course had SOO many goodies in their store front. I went for the pumpkin cheesecake cinnamon roll which was SO good. The frosting was their signature meringue buttercream so more light and airy than a cream cheese frosting. The cinnamon roll itself was wonderfully fluffy. They also had really cute cookies and an awesome bumpy brownie (like bumpy cake but make it a brownie!!) Too bad Westland is ~40-45 minutes from Ann Arbor, otherwise I'd be here all the time. But, I'll definitely keep Trina and Homestead in mind for more parties in the future!!"

Patisserie Parmentier

★★★★☆ 4.3 (18) • $$

"The best cake maker ever. The best cakes, the best cookies, the best designs, the best taste, the best price. Hands down. I've been ordering from John and Lisa for like 15 years now, and I've also tried sooooo many local cake places- hands down, they are the best. plum market now carries their goods if you want a preview!! It's not on the menu, but ask for Funfetti flavor for the cake!!"

Il Fornaio Bakery

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"Another hidden gem in the area - wow this bakery is seriously delicious! I called a few places to order a birthday cake and ended up calling here, they were so nice over the phone. They were able to accommodate my order in less than 24 hours! I was really impressed. I ordered a 10" cassata cake for a friend's birthday. I didn't expect some huge delicious beautiful cake when I picked it up! They actually made a 12" by accident but still charged me for the 10". This cake was so moist, full of flavor and just enough sweetness...everything you would expect in a cassata cake. The cake was the only item I purchased. I was very interested in the cannoli bar - you order a cannoli and you can add in any fillings you like!The bakery/store is very clean and just the right size for a corner bakery. Looking forward to ordering another cake here soon!"

Christine's Cakes & Pastries

★★★★☆ 3.6 (138) • $$

"Wow! Highly impressed! This review is for the 2 cakes I was able to sample this weekend. I cannot comment on the service personally, as I did not visit this location. But after sampling 2 cakes from Christine's Bakery, I can tell you that I will be back in the future to purchase some of her amazing creations for my own parties. We attended a double birthday party this past weekend for some very close friends. The wife/mother of the birthday persons purchased 2 cakes from Christine's and couldn't stop raving about how delicious they were. She told me she always gets her celebration cakes from Christine and has never been disappointed, nor has her guests. The one cake for our friend's 50th was the ever so famous "Bumpy Cake", which if you don't know is a famous cake from Sanders in Detroit. This riff on the Detroit classic, may have, in my books, surpassed the original. I don't even like sweets, and especially not chocolate. But for the sake of writing a review, I tried both cakes. And I have to say, if I did like sweets- this would be dangerous for me!! I could see this cake being addictive for some!! It was a chocolate fudge cake made with rich Devil's food cake, a thick center of the most luscious buttercream and finally draped in a delicious fudge icing, crowned with chocolate sprinkles. For as rich as this cake sounds, it surprisingly wasn't. It was just damn good. The buttercream was smooth and rich, the cake was light and oh so moist, the draping of fudge icing was perfection! I see why this is one of the top sellers at this bakery! The other cake for the 13yr old daughter was just as amazing and beautifully decorated. It was the Strawberry Shortcake. It had 3 layers of yellow cake filled with fresh sliced strawberries, iced with whipping cream and garnished with fresh strawberries and white chocolate shavings. If I thought this cake looked delicious- my taste buds confirmed it! It was rich and delicious with super fresh strawberries complimented by a smooth and light buttercream complete with amazing white chocolate. Both cakes, hands down blew me away! I was so thankful that my friend let us take a few slices of each home, so the kids could enjoy them too. They were literally fighting over the last few bites. To say I was impressed with both cakes from Christine's, would be an understatement. I know where I'll be getting my next specialty cake from! Definitely recommend!"

The Home Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (165) • $$

"Amazing bakery! Amazing products!I went to see in person the Amon Ra St Brown cake....I was not disappointed! In my pre going there research...I saw that they have done multiple amazing cakes like this in the past! I got there about 1pm on a beautiful sunny Friday. There was a lot of buzz outside!The line to get in the store was not too long, so I stood and admired the display cake as I waited to sample their wares. Once in, the bakery items were quite enticing. From thinking I'll just get a couple of cookies to...1 of each cookie type they had (6!) And some AMAZING looking cinnamon rolls to enjoy the next morning, I walked out with quite a haul! Everything was fantastic! The cinnamon roll was not only gorgeous and perfect looking...it had to be the best I've ever eaten! Looking forward to going back again soon!"

Cake Crumbs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (115) • $$

"Have been here a couple of times. Bakery that has beautiful & tasty cupcakes, quiches, cakes. I've had the bourbon pecan tart, apple cider vinegar cupcake (really good). My friend found the gluten free cupcake (pumpkin?)a but dry but said creme brulee was best she's had. The Bourbon caramel cake was very tender and I didn't think i liked either flavor. We got decorated vanilla cupcakes for a birthday that was a hit."

Tringali's Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (90) • $

"We're in town from Florida visiting family and last Saturday I was in need of a chocolate cake. Our Great grandson had told me in our facetime conversations before we came up, that he wanted us to bring him one. I called several bakeries ,several hours before our visit, thinking that finding a Chocalate cake with Chocalate icing would be no problem...they all had chocalate cake...but with vanilla icing. I explained my plight to all and being it was Saturday nobody could...as I was speaking to the last bakery, I got an incoming call...it was Tringali's. They were willing to put an special order for Sunday aside and they would bake me a Chocolate cake with Chocolate icing. I was able to make one 3 year old very happy that G Granpa and Gramma brought him his cake. Thank you Tringali's for saving the day!! It meant so much us and after telling the family, you've gained many new customers...and I'd like to add that it was the best Chocolate cake I've ever had !! Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!!"

Donika's Home Baked Goods

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"It offers a variety of products, reminding me my grandma's old recipes. All the sweets and pies are fresh while you are sitting there for a coffee, they can bake anything for you in a minutes."
