For The Love Of Cake

First time ordering a custom cake and I picked the best people to take care of it correspondence through email was seamless, all of my endless questions were answered, and the quality of the cake (both inside and out) was on point. I am a forever client of theirs now. If you can dream it, they can do it. The pictures of this cake were for my sisters baby shower. Everyone loved it so much, we waited as long as we could to cut into it.

Awesome bakery. The cake tasted amazing and was beautiful designed. The service they provided was outstanding. They made placing an order for a cake 1000 plus miles away easy. The bakery responded to emails in a timely matter. They also took the deposit for the cake via online. I highly recommend this bakery.

I first tried For The Love Of Cake at Yelp's Big Moonbeam Bash. I had a few (or more) of their mini cupcakes and they were to die for. Wasn't allowed to write a review about those though since it was a Yelp Event. Fast Forward....Recently celebrated the birthday of a friend just before Christmas and the cake was speciality made by For The Love Of Cake. Not only was it absolutely beautiful, but it tasted amazing. Seriously the best coconut cake I've ever had. It was so incredibly moist. The fondant had just the perfect amount of sweetness. I'm not usually one to eat icing because I find it too sweet, but I couldn't get enough of the fondant. My friends told me the owner is not only a fabulous baker, but a graphic designer. So, if you go in there with ideas, the folks at For The Love Of Cake can bring them to life in a delicious way! I still need to get over to Avondale for some of their every day sweets, but in the future, if I need a specialty cake, this will be the one and only stop I make!

Amazing, I can't say enough about the cake. The flavor was perfect, the design was perfect and the service was perfect. I would recommend this place a million times over! Thanks again to everyone at the shop!

Not only are Taylor's creations some of the most unique, beautiful and creative cakes and cupcakes in town, but the taste lives up to the beauty. I wanted something specific for my boyfriends 30th birthday.... some kind of stout flavored cake with cream cheese frosting with Happy Birthday, beer or something Irish on top. I called Taylor a week and a half before the event, and she gladly accommodated me. I let her know what I was thinking, and after have been in the shop a few times and seeing the creative talent she possessed, let her run with it. So the big day came and I went to pick up the cake. I was absolutely floored. It was really beyond what I could have ever imagined! I seriously teared up, it was just.... perfect. Taylor wasn't in that day but her mother was, and she is a doll as well. She told me they had some much fun making this cake.... and even though the bakery smelled of beer for a bit (and prompted some questions from the walk ins) that the end result was amazing. And I must agree. Taylor's background is in the artistic and creative field, which makes her cakes so gorgeous, but one bite into the stout cake, and everyone agreed it was unbelievable: most, hint of stout, and the cream cheese frosting (my personal favorite) tied it all together. :) I am so glad I chose For The Love of Cake for this occasion, and with a wedding somewhere on the horizon, I definitely know where I will be headed.PS. She has a large variety of cupcakes available daily, which are perfect little samples of this woman's culinary abilities.PSS. Uploading a pic.

Absolutely, hands down, exceptional work! I went into this blind. Never had ordered a custom cake. Everything was communicated via Facebook messenger, invoiced via email for the deposit and pick up was easily accommodated. I only had a general idea of what I wanted, Taylor took it and ran with it. Presented a beautiful masterpiece that tasted just as great as it looked. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you!!

They did an awesome job on my sister's birthday cake. She is a heart patient at Shands Gainesville. We told the girls the shape we wanted, the type of cake, and my sister's favorite colors. They executed it beautifully. I was so excited seeing it that I was torn between happy tears and happy dancing. I about lost it when they suggested edible glitter cause glitter is another thing my sister loves and I didn't know they had something that wondrous for cake. It was packed safely in a nice sturdy box since I had to drive across town to pick up my mom then to Gainesville. We followed instructions and kept the car cool. Cake made it to hospital with no issue. The flavors were perfect. All the nurses helped tear into it. The only reason there was a little left by time I had to leave hospital is because my sister wanted to save some for the night nurses. With all that said I will definitely be returning for my birthday cake in October :)

I'm not a big fan of sweets, but this one takes the cake--literally! The cakes here look and taste amazing. This is surely going to be our go to for any of our cake needs.No matter the event, you're sure to enjoy a cake from this location...

My husband and I hired For the Love of Cake for our wedding cake. I don't like the look or taste of fondant, so we asked for just frosting on the outside with some delicate piped details and piped flowers on top. The taste of the cake was way more important to us than the look. We wanted to put our money into a great-tasting cake. Well, we were not disappointed in either respect. The cake looked phenomenal, but even better it tasted phenomenal. Everyone was raving about how delicious the cake was. We had NONE leftover. We got the almond-flavored white cake, with buttercream frosting, and strawberry filling. The texture, flavor, moisture, density - everything - about the cake itself was perfect. I highly recommend For the Love of Cake!

What a huge disappointment. Gross icing and simply not the right ratio of cake to icing/fondant/ganache - 20:80 when it should be the opposite - 80% cake to 20% icing. Rude owner as well who does not believe in customer satisfaction and is content to stay complacent when his products are inconsistent. During Covid-19, we've been making an effort to buy local, but this is one local that does not deserve your hard-earned dollars. There are enough honest local businesses that have earned your loyalty - make every effort to support them!
