The Yummiest Custom Cakes in New Orleans

BATTER

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

"It pains me to knock off a star for a bakery that is obviously well liked. This is a new, second location (first is in Hammond) & their reviews for that location are very high. Batter is doing something right! My mom, husband, and I just did not enjoy any of the 4 cookies we chose. I'm not going to elaborate because I hope it's just a matter of preference. The price for the size of the cookies is very good though. I also felt like the coffees were half full & for $6.50, they shouldn't be. We did enjoy the pop-tart, cinnamon roll, and cupcakes. I would like to try the brownies, petit fours, and cake slices eventually. The store is really cute, clean, and quaint, and, as a dog lover, I appreciated them allowing someone to bring in her dog for a to-go coffee. We drove in from 30 minutes away just to try Batter on our day off, so I think 4/5 stars is fair for the parts of our experience that we did enjoy. I'm just sad about the cookies."

Cupcake Envie

"This was a fun stop on the last night of my trip. The cute establishment was welcoming and we were thrilled with the offerings at this late at night. We brought a half dozen and 1 mini cheesecake. We tried 3 of the six: caramel; strawberry; and banana pudding. Of those three the banana pudding was the best. I liked the strawberry for the cake texture. The caramel was entirely too sweet and the cake itself wasn't good.We are flying back to California with a chocolate banana and pecan praline cupcake in my carry on. Lol"

Bella Ladi Sweet Creations

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (7) • $$

"Bella Ladi supplied my wedding with four dozen cupcakes - vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing, and chocolate cake with chocolate cream icing. Needless to say, even with the caterer's cobbler and a snoball station, these cupcakes were gone immediately! The cake was moist, the icing was sweet but not cloying, and the price was right. They went so quick the bride didn't even have time to snag one!Hats off to the Bella' Slidell confections!"

Be Sweet Cakes

★★★★★ 4.6 (9)

"I have been a customer for a few years. Brittney is so sweet and really caters to her clients. I've order cakes super late at least twice and she has accommodated me. She is a sweet heart and always responds when I text. Her workers are always so nice too. If you prepay, they bring ur order to your car and even give you utensils to dig in right there....lol. She loves what she does and it shows through her cakes. They are as beautiful as they are delicious. We also use to get cake jars from her when she was baking from home.... delicious and a real treat to give as gifts. Now she has upgraded and is in a shop and does cake slices in addition to extravagant cake designs. We travel near and far for her cakes. I will never loose weight as long as she is in business! Recently due to COVID-19 she had a cake giveaway for like 10 seniors. They had to write an essay and she ended up choosing 20 graduating seniors and gifted each of them with a cake, bracelet, cash, airbrushed graduation cap and more. All out the goodness of her heart. This is amazing and I will always support someone who is willing to pay it forward. Awesome job and always great customer service! No matter how big her business grows, still humble, professional, honest, and a good person."

"OMGGG! So amazing. Get there early because they sell out QUICK! In Houma for work and made a weekend trip to check out what the fuss was all about! AMAZING! Best cake ever."

Cake, Cake, Cakes

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I was very impressed with the fast shipping and freshness of the king cake and cookies I ordered from Cake, Cake, Cakes online. I am from New Orleans but live in Texas and from time to time I want goodies from home. I highly recommend if you need a taste of New Orleans you definitely should order from Cake, Cake, Cakes you won't regret it."

Cheesecake Heidi

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I was looking for cheesecake to give as a birthday present. I didn't want a whole cheesecake, and a slice just seems... Anyway, I was initially looking for cheesecake bites. But then I found Cheesecake Heidi and her $9 personal-size cheesecakes; perfect!She has a good variety of flavors and ordering online was easy enough. I was a kinda last minute order - ordered on Wednesday evening for a Friday afternoon pickup - so I followed up with her on Facebook. She was very friendly and confirmed all my information. I got the Death By Chocolate flavor, which my mother - the birthday girl - said was good. It had chocolate crust, chocolate custard, and a chocolate coating; perfect for a chocolate lover.The store itself is located in a building/strip mall next to Penny's Cafe. Cash, card, and Venmo accepted."

Cake Goddess

★★★★☆ 4.1 (26) • $$

"I popped in to this cute, corner bakery after an event I attended next door. I've read their reviews before and thought it was the perfect opportunity to pop-in before heading home on a Saturday afternoon. The space was cute, which a nice open kitchen. They had an array of cupcakes and cakes on display, which all looked yummy. The strawberry cupcake popped out at me because it looked so fresh and I was feelin' strawberry that day! Just from this cupcake alone, it put me on the excitement track for trying the other ones. Unfortunately, I had to put the brakes on the excitement train because I could not go full throttle on desserts. Ya know... trying to stay on track with my health goals. The cupcake was delicious though. It looked very rich and decadent, but had that subtlety to it. The icing was not super sweet and the cake was moist, which was probably from the fresh strawberry piece in it. I enjoyed it very much. In fact, I keep thinking about going back to get another one. It tasted like it came right out of a "Strawberry Shortcake" book. I did however agree with one of the other Yelpers (Shan E.) on was customer service. I did not get the warm & fuzzies in here like I have from other bakeries in town. Found out that they are moving to another locations, so I get that is stressful. These days, with so many businesses coming up in Baton Rouge and competition is getting greater, customer service really does matter. I will definitely be back... not for the customer service, but for more cake or cupcakes! They were darn good and can't wait to see their new space!"

The Creole Creamery

★★★★★ 4.5 (66)

"Really nice workers & great crazy flavors. Who would have thought that chicken and biscuits was a flavor of ice cream haha."

OMGG Pastries

★★★★★ 4.9 (12)

"We have ordered twice with Chef Leslie (once for my daughter's unicorn birthday party, the next for two Galette des Rois) and we are BEYOND ecstatic with our tasty treats! He is the real deal chef who studied in France and is truly dedicated to his passion. I highly recommend OMGG for any of your events. Chef is willing to work with you and customize your ideas to make magnificent and delicious creations. I encourage you to place future orders with Chef!"

Totally Baked by Chrissy

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"I stepped in yesterday and delighted in the selection she had available! I went in around 3p, so get there earlier if you want more of a selection. They tend to go fast! I bought the red velvet, wedding cake, and the double chocolate cupcakes. My kids enjoyed them! I had the jumbo praline cupcake and it was delicious! This one is a little pricey ($5) but it was worth it!! I enjoyed it! You won't leave disappointed."

Paul's Pastry Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (93) • $$

"Grandpa's 88th Elvira Bday cake was a hit! Delicious & beautiful inside & out. Paul's Pastry is also a vendor we use often at all the wedding venues in work for. Classic group of people"

Sugar Mama's Cakery

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I stopped in for lunch today and had the loaded potato soup and it was delicious!! Of course, after seeing all the cupcakes in the case I had to get one of those as well, I had the Sugar Mama cupcake and it was so moist and the icing was perfect! They have soups, salads and chicken salad sandwiches for lunch if you want to grab and go (there is only one table inside), as well as hand dipped blue bell ice cream! If you're in the area, stop in!"

Sugar Pop

★★★★★ 4.6 (18)

"When in Mississippi, go here! Try a croissant, choose a cupcake, and enjoy there or walk to the waterfront and enjoy or drive away and enjoy whatever you order because it is all so delicious. You can't order the wrong thing, it's all delicious, even the coffee is delicious. Ask for creamer if it isn't out. There are really crazy hurricane Katrina photos in the hallway to checkout also, but the food is delicious and the staff is sweet too."

Maurice French Pastries

★★★★☆ 3.8 (126) • $$

"Walked in to a nice display of French pastries. Wanted to see if we could order drinks but they only had coffee in the carafe and an out of order Coke vending machine. We wanted to sit in and eat our pastries because we didn't think they'd hold up in the heat in the car.Got a couple of Napoleon's, an éclair, a fruit tart and a strawberry shortcake. All was delicious and the fruit tasted so fresh. The facility is really set up for production and they must cater to businesses and special orders. Would definitely visit again."

Paige's Pantry

★★★★☆ 3.5 (10)

"The cinnamon rolls here are to die for, but you have to get there early to avoid them being sold out."

JCB Creations

★★★★★ 5 (10) • $$

"After a number of cookie makers were not available, a friend recommended JCB for my specialty cookie need. With less than a week to the event, their Baker was happy to help!! They had great options to make our cookies beautiful and follow our theme. The cookies were beautiful and a huge hit with our dance krewe membership. They also offered online billing and payment which made things much easier. Great bakery!! I'll definitely be using them often."

Mariah's Bakery & Edible Art Gallery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"If you love the idea of art, dessert, and kids then this will be the place for you. Just think about the light in your kids eye when they create something spectacular then to top it off they get to eat it. Oh and adults aren't left out because I can just sit and stare at the cheesecake case all day. Plus there's no complaints because the place is consistent and considerate of their customer's needs. One huge example would be the fact that all the donuts are cooked to order "no stale donuts over here"! Just me and my blank stare in my Simpsons voice "hmm deserts" and lots of options too. Check this place out, it will definitely become a stop or two a week if you are not concerned about them thighs lol."

Chez Ru Rene Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (16) • $$$

"I first heard about them when my friend had her wedding cake from Chez Ru Rene at in November 2011. It tasted so amazing I had to find out the bakery so I could get them for my wedding. They were so easy to work with from the tastings, to design, to cake pulls. They have a bunch of past cake options that they have done that are all beautiful but I had printed a picture from a website and they were able to perfectly match it. Their almond filling with toasted almond slivers is to die for! I also have ordered birthday cakes from them and they were great. Anyone in the market for cake needs to check this place out!"

Posh Custom Cakes

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (5) • $$

"Posh was the only person I could find in the area that could make a croquembouche with confidence!! We had the best groom's cake ever! All of our wedding guests loved it and loved plucking off the pastries. It was absolutely delicious!!"

Mad Batter Bakery

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (40) • $$

"I needed a birthday cake and someone mentioned this place. I had never even been inside of the place but I called and placed an order anyway.I ordered a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing and chocolate covered strawberries in the top. The cake it self was reasonably pricedI picked up the cake and asked when had it been baked and was told Wednesday...... unmmmm......that was a red flag for me. She told me they bake them early to give them time to set and to cool. I picked the cake up at 2 pm on Saturday. I asked if the cake had to be refrigerated and she asked what time was the party I said 730 she said no it should be good. She placed one very small piece of tape on the top and one very small piece on each side.The box was not closed properly at all. Needless to say the cake was good. It did taste a little stale to me but the flavor was good and icing was perfect not too sweetI definitely would consider purchasing something else from Mad Batter I just would ask for it to be made closer to the time I need it"

Just Eat Me Sweets

★★★★☆ 4.2 (9)

"Went in one afternoon for the Crookie. They were already sold out so we tried a few other treats and all were very enjoyable. Made sure we got back early the next morning, when the owner told us we were most likely to get a crookie. It was worth the wait. Very enjoyable. Highly recommend the creme brûlée cheesecake too. We will be back often. The bakery items are tasty and the atmosphere is fun. The owner was welcoming and even offered to hold any items for us if we called ahead. Rooting for this new local bake shop!!!!"

BATTER

★★★★★ 4.6 (13)

"Cute little bakery with some really good baked sweets. The chocolate chip cookies and brownies are amazing."

LadyB's

★★★★★ 4.8 (45)

"I can't recommend Lady B's Bakery enough for all of our family's special moments! We recently ordered an Elmo-themed cake for my daughter's 1st birthday party, and it was a hit! The design was adorable and perfectly captured the theme. But the best part is the taste! Everyone raved about how delicious it was. Lady B's Bakery truly knows how to make celebrations even more memorable with their beautiful and tasty creations. If you're looking for a bakery for your next special occasion, definitely check them out!"

Chic Cakes & Confections by Chiaki

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"My second visit to Chic Cakes. Just like the first the offerings are fantastic. Today I got a chocolate chip cookie and a praline brownie. Both are tasty and well worth the money! The ladies here are very friendly and I love their cupcakes and other confections. Come out and support a local business not just because it's local but because their offerings are tasty and the people are very friendly."

Sweet Generations

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"This is the BEST place for cakes! I've been ordering cakes from Shay for years! She customizes cakes for any occasion makes them just the way you want them! My Favorite desert from the shop is definitely "Olite's Strawberry Delight" OMG!! You can't just have one piece! It's so delicious, you can taste the FRESH strawberries, it's just heavenly, you have to come back for more!! I am so happy that this shop is now open because I can come anytime to have my favorite dessert!!"

Cake That

★★★★☆ 4.4 (7)

"I absolutely love this place!!! I am from Seattle by way of Brandon, FL. I found this beautiful dream on Wedding Wire. I called, she called me 20 min later and I felt like I personally knew her. She asked for me to send her my ideas and we can go from there. When we flew into LA she had cupcakes for us to try and they were so good I'm having 6 wedding cakes (3 are dummy cakes.) Out of every place I tasted and searched "Cake That" is definitely in a league of her own. If you want great customer service, high quality taste and look she is worth all of it. Thank you for accepting me to be one of your customers. I love you guys to the moon and bacc."

Crazy Cupcakes

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I always go to crazy cupcakes for my cakes and cupcakes for work events, birthdays and just because! The cakes/cupcakes are always fresh and good of course and I've also recently tried the bunt cakes which are also amazing!"

SugarLove Cakes

★★★★☆ 4.2 (43) • $$

"King cakes are everywhere around here, but the ones from Sugar Love are the best! Peak time is during the Mardi Gras season, but they make them year round, decorated for the seasons. They sell smaller chunks of King-Cake-on-a-stick that are fun. The staff are friendly. The store gets busy at times so if you are in a crunch you should call ahead. They will let you order pastries on line and schedule a pickup on some future date."

Tredici Bakery

★★★★☆ 4 (15) • $

"It's a brand-spankin' new bakery! Filled with yummy treats of pastries and scrumptious desserts. This is definitely the perfect addition to this neighborhood and am especially thrilled because it's super close to me. It has character and everything I tasted was made with love and hard work. You will find French macarons, cupcakes, cakes and more here. Every neighborhood needs a local bakery and cafe, so I excited of all the potential Tredici has and how they will draw in the crowds! They have turned me into a fan and am looking forward to more people being converted as well. Their dessert cases are full and are ready to satisfy your sweet tooth! The cafe has some tables and chairs for you to enjoy your desserts and feel right at home. It has a warm, inviting and a cozy atmosphere; you are gonna love it, too!"

Twist Cupcakes

★★★★☆ 4 (1) • $$

"You are in for a treat with these delicious cupcakes. They are all different and unique. Twist reminds me of Pauls Pastry but strictly cupcakes and I'm all here for it . My personal favorite cupcake is probably the wedding cupcake. The reason why I'm giving 4 stars is because they are so rich and sugary to the point where you could get sick from it. On the other hand, if your like me and could eat stuff with rich flavor and not get sick, then you will enjoy these cupcakes like me. All in all this place is a great place to get cupcakes."

Glitz Amor

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Glitz Amor did my Lemon Blueberry birthday cake and chocolate cupcakes. All I can say is amazing! The cake was perfection. I've never had a cake that was perfectly balance with the flavors and sugar. Most cakes be overly sweet but not Glitz. Just the right amount of sweetness. Now for the cupcakes. I'm a huge picky chocolate cake guy. Either it's rich and chocolaty like I like it or it goes in the trash. Her chocolate cupcakes were out of this world good. Super moist and packed with flavor. Will definitely do business with again."
