This is the first time I have bought anything from them. The birthday cake was the best I've had in my life. And it was decorated so beautifully. It was expensive but for those special occasions, it was well worth it.

A Homewood tradition but the last several times I picked up cookies for the office I was disappointed. They were hard as rocks and the flavor was bland. The smiley face cookies had to go straight to the trash. ?

One of the best bakeries in Birmingham! The staff are always so cheerful and helpful and there’s yet to be any baked goods that aren’t to die for! The olive spread they have for sale in their store front selection is also perfect for charcuterie boards for your next hosting event!

The best bakery in Birmingham!You will not be disappointedParking: Bring you patience. This area is always busy
I found it hard to believe anyone gave this place an awful rating - they've been in business a long long time & I personally have been frequenting this bakery for over 20 years!in all that time I've never ever gotten any bad food and certainly not any bad tasting cakes ! some of these reviews sound like people trying to get things free ( like 10$ off? ) by complaining! this is a small bakery that I know is recommendEd by lots of folks in my area ( mtn brook ) to do wedding cakes etc ! they couldn't stay in business if they had bad cakes ! The staff here are among the friendliest anywhere ! I do t know them personally but every time I walk in ( at least once a month) I'm greeted by friendly helpful people . thru also have things to try free prior to buying usually . I like the actual lunch food and orange rolls here and prefer their cakes to Edgar's .

Savages is entirely hit or miss. When ordering cakes, you never know if you'll get a fresh product. This can be very embarrassing if the cake is for an event or occasion and no one can eat it. Within the past year or so, the cake batter recipe appears to have been changed to some cheap, yellowish, odd tasting concoction. First it was noticed in the cupcakes, after a while, the change moved to the cakes. While service can be slow, I haven't experienced bad service. The three elderly ladies that work the front counter seem to be the only employees they can keep. Any new faces disappear within a couple of months. I still stop in now and then for a couple of treats. But I now get my cakes from another bakery where items are always fresh and everyone loves the homemade taste. Cakes, desserts, sweet treats are big business these days - not the time for mediocrity. There's so much competition and so many choices in the sweet treat industry now.

We were so disappointed. Bought a yellow cake with caramel icing and something was dreadfully wrong with the icing. Tastes terrible. My husband says burnt. I just don’t know.We have always loved Savage’s and I really hate this.Gave it a 1 because the cake part is just fine.
