The Cake Lady

LOVE the cake that we ordered from Cece. We sent her a photo of what we wanted and she did an amazing job recreating it. She was quick to respond with any questions I had and made the entire process seamless.My daughter loved her cake - and it tasted great too! We will definitely be going back to the Cake Lady and highly recommend her for any birthday party cake orders.

A great big THANK YOU to Owner Cece for adding to a perfect day for me and my husband!I was coming upon the half-way mark of my pregnancy which I knew meant that we could find out the sex of the baby, and we were so excited to have a mini brunch "reveal" with a family and friends. Not wanting to go the big fireworks and smoke-bomb route, I knew that a special-color-filled-cake would be just perfect. Immediately I thought to reach out to The Cake Lady, as I've only ever heard great thinks about her dessert creations. She was super easy to get in touch with via email. We went back and forth a few times to solidify the idea and set up the process. Because I wanted to be surprised when we cut in to the cake, it was a friend of mine that notified Cece which color needed to go in the center. Seamless planning and pick up!The cake was perfectly wrapped in a lovely white-cream frosting, and you could hear the candies jingling around on the inside (*cue extreme excitement and anticipation*). We sliced a piece and as we pulled it out, round candies and sprinkles came pouring down! Not only was it the perfect cake for the perfect moment, but the vanilla, maple buttercream, and bailey's flavor was thoroughly enjoyed by all.Oh, and we're having a BOY!!

I was jazzed to try the Cake Lady. It was not a disappointment! I thought everything was easy, the two ladies were excellent to talk with, and overall magical experience!

Replies to emails promptly and it was very easy to place an order. The Cake Lady was very attentive to what you want. I gave them about 1week notice for a 6inch cake which was beautifully made. But I'd like to talk about the flavors. I ordered a Lavender cake with lemon buttercream, raspberry preserves, and vanilla buttercream. The cake was de-lish-shussssss!!!!!! It was the perfect real lavender cake with bits of lavender buds. It did not taste of artificial flavoring. The lemon buttercream was perfectly tart. The buttercream icing around the cake was also delicious and was not overwhelmingly sweet and was not greasy. overall, it was a beautiful and flavorful.cake. I'm very happy I found the Cake Lady and I will be ordering cakes from them again.

What can I say about the Cake Lady that hasn't already been said? Her cakes are amazing and beautiful. They are light, moist, delicious, simple and gorgeous. I've had her spice cake with white chocolate buttercream at Sprocket Cafe - delicious. I've had her vanilla cake with raspberry and lemon filing and a white chocolate buttercream at Anoydyne - stellar. On the customer end, Cecelia is the sweetest woman and a very accommodating baker/business owner. I emailed her for an emergency cake for a friend's bday, giving less than her required two weeks notice. She came through! The cake she made - spice cake with white choco butter cream (I couldn't stay away) - was a hit. I would recommend the Cake Lady and Cecelia to anyone looking a cake for any event. Her prices are a little on the higher end but reasonable given the quality and the excellent taste of her product. Order a cake from her soon or stop at Sprocket Cafe or Anodyne to try her delicious cake!

NOTE: It appears that after my review, a slew of positive reviews followed, in hopes that my negative review would be watered down, which is fine(as you can see, until I made my review the most recent was months earlier. Now there are like 5 on the same day smh) . But this is another example of how this business owner is lacking in holding HERSELF accountable for ALL customers. She should be embarrassed by the cake she sold me. Not try to have others post her good work In hopes that my review will not be considered. This is what reviews are for-for the good and the bad, then the new customer can make their own decision from there. Please continue to read about my poor experience with Cece, the Cake Lady. This was by far the worst experience with a small business owner I've ever had. I placed an order with this company for my son's golden birthday. Because we are still dealing with a pandemic, there was nothing much I could really do besides give my son a super special cake! I chose the Cake Lady because the pictures of her cakes always looked so beautifully done, so I figured a cake with her would definitely be a hit.I sent her a picture of what I wanted, she confirmed she could do it and set up a time for me to pick up the cake at 10am on January 8th. A couple of days before the pick up date, I asked her if I could switch the time to 1-2pm. She said 1-2pm worked for her. The day of pick up, Cece sent me a couple of emails and one text, that I didn't see right away, saying that she had to leave at 2pm to the latest. My husband got to the door at 2:02pm (due to parking on the east side) and sat there for a few minutes and no one was there. He called me and informed me of this, so I texted Cece (this is when I saw her text for the first time about leaving at 2pm) and I told her that my husband was there and asked will she be back at all. Because we have iPhones, I could tell she was about to respond but she didn't. I waited 20 more minutes, and no response, so I checked my email to see what she actually said there. At 1:53pm, AGAIN 1:53pm, she sent an email stating that we would have to pick up the cake the NEXT DAY in the morning. So she left before 2pm!!!! I immediately texted her back and asked if her employee could be there on the actual day because the 8th was my son's birthday not Saturday, the 9th. Then I reminded her that we agreed between 1-2pm and if this time didn't work, I would have gladly kept it at the original time of 10am. THEN she responded that she wasn't going back and forth with me(which wasn't the case, because she didn't respond to me for almost 30minutes) and that she GUESSED she would have to turn around from going to her COTTAGE to bring me my cake. I couldn't and still cant believe it. This small business owner, with whom I had never worked with before, made it seem like I was inconveniencing her AND she left her business and didn't serve her first time customer for a LEISURE TRIP!!!! She acted like she was gave some huge discount or the cake for free. This cake was $80.00 freaking dollars.when I made the comment about this not being a 'hook up' cake, she called me and said that she felt 'attacked' by me, and offended. I expressed to her that I am the customer, I should be upset. She left! Then she said that she was in front of her business for an 10 extra minutes, which is a lie because you cant park directly in front of her business. But if she WAS there, she would have seen my husband standing at her door. We went back and forth until she HUNG up on me. I didn't curse, I didn't call her any names. I definitely had my voice raised, but had every right. She was about to ruin my son's birthday for a LEISURE TRIP. She then dropped the cake off at a neutral location, which also kills me, because if she had time to all of that, then she could have waited 2 minutes. I wouldn't even be typing this review if she waited 2 WHOLE MINUTES. Actually I would have, because the cake was, by far, not to my expectations.THE CAKEThe cake did not look like what I ordered. The top had visible butter knife prints. The layers were COMPLETELY uneven. The bottom and top layers were fine, but the middle two looked like the cake layers were cut on a slant and filled with frosting. SO not only was there a fiasco with getting the cake, she sold me a cake that was not fit to eat (I tried to post on google, but it appears my pictures are being flagged . If so, please search me on Facebook) I sum this up to say this- don't trust the pictures. Read all reviews. And keep in mind that all customers are not treated equal.

I have been using Cece and her amazing cake creations for 10 YEARS now!! Not only are her cakes a work of art, they are equally delicious. Any theme or idea we have, Cece runs with it and creates amazing cakes. We've had chocolate with chocolate ganache, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, spice cake (MY fav), banana....and every time the crowd is so pleased! People who don't like cake eat her cakes! Just her buttercream alone....YUM- it's in a class all it's own. The cookies are adorable little mini works of art, too! The time and talent it takes to create these special moments for my kids is not lost on me. Cece is top notch- talented, professional, cheery, passionate, and so very kind:). She goes above and beyond for her customers, and has even squeezed me in last minute when she could when I forgot to place a cake order! Simply THE BEST. So many cakes, but I'm posting some favorites...even yesterday's most recent goldfish themed cake that I forgot to take a picture of until I was pulling the candles out, hence the little holes in it LOL!Thanks Cece!!

Cece was so flexible and easy to work with for our wedding cutting cake! We loved that there were so many unique flavors available, without being overly sweet. We loved the look of the final product. However, when we picked up our cake, we weren't provided with an appropriately sized box, which made transportation and storage a bit challenging.

I am not typically a cookie person, but I so enjoyed the fresh, buttery, DELICIOUS cookies that came from this wonderful bakery. Would 10/10 recommend stopping by if you are in the area!Sending love all the way from Nashville, TN!

Delicious and beautiful cakes and cookies! Highly recommend for all occasions. The owner is amazing and so very talented.
