The Most Flavorful Custom Cakes in Houston

Kamalan Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (296) • $

"My sweet tooth was having craving, and I needed to get it satisfied. So while my wife and her friends were purchasing some boba drinks for themselves nearby, I browsed the strip mall to look for a bakery. I did see a few bakeries before spotting Kamalan. Two of them were closed, while the other one was not calling to me. If you know what I mean.The first thing that I noticed when I walked into Kamalan Bakery were the egg tarts sitting behind the front counter. I knew right then that those are what I needed to satiate my sweet tooth. Did not take a really detailed look at their other baked goods because I was in a rush.Egg Tarts looked yummy, and they did not disappoint. 4 stars!Portugal Custard Tarts were even better. Yummy! 4.5 stars!!Prices were reasonable. Service was good too. I recommend Kamalan Bakery if you find yourself in this area of Houston, Texas. Enjoy!!"

Rustika Cafe & Bakery

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (288) • $$

"Nice variety of fresh pastries, cakes, empanadas, and other baked goods plus full-service meals for eating in (think breakfast/brunch type foods). Really cute and cozy interior with about 10 tables for dining in, so this would be a great place to come for breakfast/light lunch. For this visit I just ordered a couple of sweets to-go - their lemon cookie and apple pie. Both had really nice flavors and were clearly homemade. I will certainly be back to try more in the future."

The Village Bakery

"Let's be honest, they are known for their ridiculously amazing and life-like cakes. Seriously! Have you browsed their photos. They are INSANE! Probably why I had Richard make my little one's one year old birthday cake and smash cake. He is a genius and he has been at it for decades. He also makes personalized cookies, cupcakes and more. Just email Richard a photo of what you are looking to have done and he can create it. Seriously! And not only does his items look amazing, they taste fantastic too, Check out some of his creations: https://www.thevillagebakeryhouston.com/our-products/custom-cakes/"

World Catering Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (128) • $$

"While they are known for their baked goods, one couldn't tell that it's also a great hidden gem for lunch! Used to work around the area and this bakery became a regular spot for me and some coworkers to go to for lunch. *Fun Fact* They are also the same bakery who made my wedding cakes!"

Kingdom Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (114) • $

"Loved this family-run bakery in Katy. I tried the honey cake, the strawberry cream cheese kolache, and the spinach kolache. Everything was delicious! The honey cake was my favorite! It was not too sweet, and the layers of cake and cream were perfect. It didn't feel heavy, and I honestly could have eaten the whole thing in one sitting. The kolaches were so fresh. The cream cheese was homemade and paired well with the strawberries. Also kolaches are half off after 4 pm!Can't wait to come back and try more cakes and pastries."

Cake Fine Pastry

"How I love Liz let me count the ways!!!I was looking for an amazing baker for my daughters 4th birthday party. I wanted cupcakes and a cake but also something unique. I called many places who came up on Yelp first as well as went to Crave first to check them out. I was not impressed with either and kept searching and that's when I came across Zeapod cakery.I called them and was greeted by Liz and she was so nice as well as immediately assured me she could meet my needs. I saw a pic of the cupcake pops and I knew I had to have them.I asked her for a tasting and she let me know they meaning herself and her husband bake out of their home and they don't have tastings, but I could come by and grab a couple flavors of the cake pops for I believe $3.00 each. I headed straight to her house and met the lovely couple.They welcomed me into their home/bakery which you can smell sweet cakes being made with love before you even enter the establishment. She showed me a cake that they just finished and it was amazing. And then I tasted the cakes, Oh my goodness beyond moist, fresh, and real homemade taste not like most beautiful cakes that taste like crap.I placed my order for 2 dozen cake pops in Vanilla/birthday cake and Strawberry. I also ordered a small cake to go with her Jungle book theme which the flavor was Salted caramel for the adults. What I appreciated she didn't charge me for the two pops that I came to taste since I placed my order that day, what service!We chatted for awhile, I paid and then I was on my way..I ordered custom printed stickers to be put on my daughters cake pops and Liz let me drop them off to her and she added them to each one. I picked up my order right on time and was blown away by their craftsmanship. Their products start with being made and baked with pure love and then decorated with such artistry. The prices are beyond reasonable for the quality you get. I paid a little over $150.00 for everything and it was worth every penny.Do not go anywhere else support this beautiful marriage and amazing business!"

Voodoo Doughnut

★★★★☆ 3.7 (128)

"I have gone back several times and the customer service has been very on point. Donuts have always been available on all my recent visits. The taste of any donut I've gotten hasn't failed me so far. I'll continue to come back as it seems things have changed since my last because experience."

Yummy Tummy Pastries

★★★★☆ 3.8 (118) • $$

"There simply aren't enough bakeries in this area but this place makes up for the deficit. Beautiful pastries, beautiful dining room. You can tell this is someone's passion. The young lady behind was super helpful explaining what each delight was. I went with the classic eclair and we added a pineapple upside down cake for fun. Both tasted as good as they looked. Yummy tummy for sure!"

Suzybeez Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (115) • $$

"My mom ordered this cake for a friends birthday & everyone loved it and was asking where my mom got it from. They did a good job decorating and the cake looks thicker then what the picture shows. She ordered it 2 weeks in advanced and it cost $210."

Sugar Rush

★★★★☆ 3.9 (89)

"Found this gem 3mins away from home, so they've been hiding in plain site all this time. They sell homemade sweet treats; cheesecake, cobbler, banana pudding, tea cakes, etc. I came to order a cake for my co-worker's bday, but couldn't leave without tasting the peach cobbler. Crust was flaky and crispy with a cinnamon/nutmeg/vanilla filling. They did not disappoint, looking forward to my cake next week. Enter freely, they've been approved"

Supreme Kakes & More

★★★★☆ 3.7 (89) • $$

"We were looking for a bakery to make the cake for our daughters Sweet Sixteen birthday. We attended a tasting and were thrilled with the selection of cake flavors. My daughter chose the white cake with raspberry amaretto filling that was absolutely delicious. My daughter let them know exactly what she had in mind for her cake and they sketched it for her to her specifications. The day of the event, her cake was delivered and it was beautiful and exactly what she wanted. Her friends all told her the cake was delicious and there was no cake left after the event because everyone wanted more! I would highly recommend this bakery to handle the cake for your special event."

Virginia's Cakes Cafe & Bakery

"I am very particular about my cakes. In this place is very good. The cakes are extremely moist. I love the buttercream. Overall homemade and great. Reasonably priced compared to other bakery's. I've tried the pie and the decorated sugar cookie and wasn't very impressed- but do yourself a favor and order your next birthday cake here!"

For Heaven's Cake

★★★★☆ 3.8 (77) • $$

"I just had a cake made for my adult son's birthday. As a child of three, he wanted only a toy robot for Christmas. Working from a picture of the robot, the artists at "For Heavens Cake" created a wonderful fondant replica of the robot to top a fabulous birthday cake. It was chocolate, with raspberry filling and white butter cream frosting - delicious. Great job!"

"Amazing pastries, cookies and baklava throughout the bakery. What an amazing find. Great customer service and the sweets are beyond imaginable. Halawet al juben was amazing, petit four I can't stop eating and the graybeh just melts in your mouth. Visited Houston for two days and gained 10 lbs! Love this spot!"

Becca Cakes

★★★★☆ 4.4 (41)

"Sweets galore is this place and they are quite the treat!I had family coming to visit for Christmas weekend which also coincided with my niece's birthday. She was turning 2 and loves cupcakes like I love tacos. YELP pulled up this place which is near where I live and they can do to-go orders same or next day. So I called them and put in an order of a dozen cupcakes. They had 6 flavors available (classic white, white chocolate raspberry, peppermint chocolate, regular chocolate, cinnamon, and gingerbread) so we went with two of each. Stopping in the next day, I picked up my order and while adding a trio of cookie sandwiches (snickerdoodle, sugar w/ vanilla, and chocolate chip peanut butter) and a floral glitter candle (cause 2 year olds like those candles).My niece was very happy with her cupcake as we gave her the peppermint chocolate (I think), she devoured the frosting first before eating the cake itself which indicates she loved it. My family and I enjoyed the remaining cupcakes although we had difficulty telling which was which. Might be good to label them upon packing them since I'm not a cupcake expert except for the tasting part. Additionally, the cookie sandwiches were amazing. Since I purchased them, I called dibs on the chocolate chip peanut butter; knew I picked the right one after my first bite with the choco/pb flavors of the cream and the softness of the cookie. My sister and her husband ate the remaining snickerdoodle and sugar w/vanilla which they enjoyed although they wished they had what I had. Too bad, mine was delicious and I wasn't gonna share!Support your local mom/pop shops such as this one as Becca does cakes/cookies/sweets amazingly!"

MEB Cakes

★★★★☆ 4 (42) • $$

"What an amazing experience. M.E.B. Cakes catered to all my needs and relieved one of the bigger concerns I had while starting the wedding planning process. We had a couple of meetings to discuss design and they brought our vision to life. First meeting was for brainstorming and the second was to look at some sketches. We decided on some flavors and then didn't worry about it again. Day of the wedding was worry free. They delivered the cakes and set them up and we were oh so happy with the presentation. Only thing left to do was to eat it and we got so many compliments on the flavors. Overall a wonderful experience. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thank you M.E.B. Cakes."

Yong's Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (44)

"we have ordered twice from them. Cakes are done quickly and to perfection. Will be ordering a third custom cake soon. Their butter flavor cake is hands down the best. It isnt too sweet. Everyone with different tastes agreed this was the best flavor to get to satisfy everyone. I found them through Facebook and so happy to be a customer."

Cakes U Crave

★★★★☆ 4 (36) • $$

"Selecting Cakes U Crave to provide our wedding cake was perhaps the easiest decisions we made for our wedding day. Not only did the cake samples taste AMAZING, Candis was a joy to work with and her prices were extremely reasonable. She helped us design a custom groom's cake to celebrate my husband's love of his alma mater. The cakes were there on time and exceeded our expectations. In fact, our cake was so good we couldn't wait an entire year to eat the top - we ate half of it the day after the wedding and then made ourselves freeze two pieces for next year. If we ever need another cake for a celebration, there's no doubt who we will contact."

Vernele's New Orleans Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (26)

"Best thing: New Orleans jazz on a good music system and fast friendly service from the charming counter. Lots of great decor in this old place that could be in the French Quarter.Food.....meh. Bagel did not seem fresh, and only a very scant, hard slice of Plain cream cheese accompanied it."

Pastel Boutique

★★★★☆ 3.8 (19)

"I hope everyone who even looks at Pastel Boutique on Yelp will take the time to stop by and eat a cupcake. Better yet, order your cake there. You won't be sorry.I was looking for just the right thing for the newest baby born into our family, and was having trouble finding anyone who delivers to that part of Houston. I found this bakery on Yelp and "took a chance."I am extremely particular when it comes to all things creative and special. When I "see something in my head" I count on it being executed by the professionals who see my vision and perfect that. Normally, however, I am present, there are drawings, and plenty of time to get it "right". Because of the time issue (wanted it sent that day) and I'm 200 miles away, I had to trust they would get it right. Pastel Boutique did not fail. They went over, above and way beyond in their efforts to bake, design, and deliver on extremely short notice, as well as provide outstanding service to both me as well as my sweet nephew and niece and their brand new baby.I so appreciated their continued contact with me via email and telephone in letting me know what they had available as well as when they were delivering. As soon as the cupcakes arrived, my nephew sent me a text of thanks with a photo of the cupcakes. They looked even better than what I had envisioned! He said that when they opened the box the smell was unbelievably enticing!Of course, the ultimate test is in the eating, which they and other family members enjoyed to the fullest. All agreed they were absolutely delicious, fresh and as good as they smelled! Ha!5 stars for customer service5 stars for creative design using customer input5 stars for working in a short time frame that you sure didn't have to do5 stars for delivery with a smile5 stars for an absolutely delicious product5 stars for customer follow up"

Cake Life Co.

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"SO YUMMY. My oh my, hard not to eat it all in one sitting. The cake is to die for. I will have to hold myself back from going everyday. If you get a chance try it (Definitely a dulce de leche cake), a kolache, a custom cake, cupcakes, really I'm sure anything will be great. They have savory and sweet options as well as drinks. Drop by their window as soon as you can!"
