We had the opportunity to work with Tanya for the first time this month on a wedding styled shoot. We shared 3 theme inspiration boards with her and she was to create a wedding cake for each one. We were absolutely blown away with the designs she created. They complemented our themes perfectly- the colors, the styles everything was right on point. At the end of the shoot, we got to eat the wedding cakes and I can seriously say they were the best cakes I have ever had!!! We highly recommend them!
As a photographer that shoots a lot of cake smash photography session, I always recommend my clients head to the Cake Bake Shoppe when ordering their cake. They are not only delish but they are also always so stunning. They are truly talented at what they do! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding cake or just a yummy treat!
I love the Cake Bake Shoppe. They are so friendly in there. They're also so talented with fancy or themed cakes for weddings or parties. Sometimes the fancy cakes look great but taste awful, but not at Cake Bake Shoppe. Everything I've tried has been so delicious!
Amazing customer service!! We had a cake made by a contact in Edmonton, but it didn't match the color or style that was requested. Did not realize this until a few hours prior to the reception. Tanya Pridge, who had just finished her shift on the Saturday and gone home, came to my daughters house, picked up the cake, took it back to her shop and after totally modifying it she delivered it directly to the reception. It was an amazing transformation. This family business and Tanya went above and beyond and above the call of duty to accommodate us. We as a family are so appreciative of this kind gesture. It made my daughters day. Thank you, The Brides Father.
Not too many options to choose from when we were there afternoon Sep 20. They were out of vanilla! Cake is heavy and oily. Frosting acceptable, a bit skimpy compared to Craves. You may like that. They use lots of cream cheese frosting, which may not be good if you are not a fan of cream cheese frosting like myself. Next time, I am having a cupcake craving, I will take the extra effort to drive to Crave Cupcake. They are still the best for me.
I really want this place to be come so popular they are run off their feet with orders. The cupcakes are really good. Wish they had a non-buttercream icing though.
I really love this place. It's far away for me, but my fiancé and I make a special trip every once and a while for a great treat! I have a severe nut allergy and this bakery is the first bakery that I can feel comfortable that I'm not going to go into anaphylactic shock. Thank you so much for your commitment to serve a broad spectrum of people!
Today I bought 4 cupcakes. I spent $17! We couldn't eat them because they were hard and dry. I really think they were day olds. The buttercream was both gritty and greasy at the same time. I give them a 2 out of 5 because they are nut free and I like that but otherwise they have no redeeming qualities!
Service was great and lots of options to choose from. Small round cake and doz mini cupcakes and doz big cupcakes over $100. I said wow this must be very good at this price. At the time of serving it for my kids birthday party, of mostly school friends and parents. Everyone said it looks so good. First bite my son says "mom this doesn't taste good." I thought no way, on taste by myself and almost all parents:
It tastes like white grainy sugar mixed with butter and coco, there is no smoothness or originality of this place. After icing sits on your tongue you develop rough and irritated feeling (not only me). Cupcakes are all the same with just added flavour or ingredients. Save your money please and you can do a better job with store bought packages and food colouring. I wish I never paid this kind of money for these cakes. I'm left with all these cakes and no one wants it.
By far the best cake and cupcake place in the city. We have used them for parties a wedding and just for treats at home and have never been dissapointed. Amazing service and absolutely delicious cupcakes and cakes
If I could give a rating of this it would be 9/5 stars. The cupcakes here are to die for. Everything from the delicious icing, to the cake which is so moist and flavourful, to just even the feeling you get when you walk in the door, everything is perfect. I am also happy to learn that they are fully nut free on everything they make as my sister is allergic and generally will skip on desert for that reason. I keep meaning to make a trip back cuz YUM!!!
It's a bit pricy, but in my opinion it's totally worth it.
Tanya is amazing.seriously talented. Tastes cakes and cupcakes. LOVE the gluten free!!
Cake Bake Shoppe is hands down the best place to get cakes and cupcakes! I was amazed with the custom cakes that I ordered and the cupcakes are always delicious. Not only do they have great flavors to choose from, but they're also nut free.
I would highly recommend Cake Bake Shoppe to anyone looking for a cake or cupcakes for any occasion.
I had my wedding this past weekend and we ordered an assortment of mini cupcakes from here for our dessert and had her deliver/set them up for us. They turned out SO delicious and everyone raved how they weren't overly sweet, like Crave or Buttercream. They went like hotcakes and we had none left over by the end of the night. I would definitely recommend this bakery for anything and everything!
I ordered 2 birthday cakes for a combined 55th birthday celebration this past weekend.
The one cake was done with different colours of purple (rosettes). It was quite pretty and I was satisfied for the most part with the look and people enjoyed it (chocolate inside). I requested and received writing on the top of the cake. I was disappointed in the writing. It looked shaky and not like it had been done by someone with years of decorating experience. The writing was done in white on top of a marbled purple. However, there was a small line under one of the words where the decorator "dripped" and did not remove it. This looked less than professional in my opinion.
The second cake was a real disappointment for me. I provided a picture of a fondant cake that had the Triumph motorcycle symbol on it (the British flag (red, blue & white) with the word "Triumph" in the centre. The pricing came back and it was very reasonable for a 6" round. However, when I went to pick it up, I found out why. Instead of fondant, they printed the image on a piece of paper. What was supposed to be red was orange and because the colour was not accurate, it looked very amateur. As I was purchasing 2 cakes, cost was a factor I made the bakery aware of. I am assuming that is why they chose to go with a printed image instead of fondant. I understand that but if getting a pure red was not possible, I should have been told before arriving to pick up the cake so we could discuss other options.
The staff member who was present when I picked up the cakes was not overly friendly and never thanked me for my business. This is a pet peeve of mine! Regardless if I was purchasing a small cupcake for $2.75 or I was spending what I did (over $100) for 2 cakes, someone in customer service should always say thanks in my opinion. The final straw for me was when she partially closed the lid on the purple cake - she actually "smushed" 2 of the rosettes on the top side.
I will not return to this bakery for future cakes based on my experience.
