This store is Old School and delightfully stocked with cake decorating supplies that will have nearly everything your looking for, from fillings to many boxes for your baked delectables; including sprinkles, rental plans and maybe a learning class or two. Enjoy!

Cake works is the go to place for anything baking, although the hours are limited, it is one of the only stores of its kind. You can buy basic baking items anywhere, but when you need specialty items, this is a one stop shop.

We just had my girls' birthday party at The Cake Works and it was a huge success! The kids had so much fun and Julie and the staff went above and beyond to create a great experience for the kids. We did the Nailed It! party and decided to include fondant in the experience, which I think it a must for a group of 11 to 12 year olds. We sent in a photo of a cake that we wanted to make and Julie made a replica of the cake so that they could see it and then just like Nailed It! had to recreate it. All supplies were made available and some tips were provided from staff if needed but otherwise the kids were off to make their cakes. If you are looking for a great party, this is it!! Thanks to the entire staff! We had a great time.

Perfect supply store for bakers! Needed 2-dozen cupcake holders for an up-coming school bake sale and the friendly store associate pointed me right to them. Love that this place is still in our community after so many years. Look up their open hours, and spend your money here!

I ordered a tiered cupcake for my wedding. Originally, I was going to skip the cake, and have an artificial cake instead. But I changed my mind a few weeks before the wedding day, because my father in law offered to cover the cost. Even though it was a last minite, they accomodated all my needs. Their responses were always fast too.The cake was so beautiful and all the guests loved it.The only thing I didn't like was setup fee was not included in delivery fee. As you might already know, everything related to wedding cost extra. I think $700 should cover everything. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with their service. Thank you so much!!

If you want to feel very welcomed & at home while you shop come here! I was greeted by a very sweet lady who helped me with everything I needed. The workers were all so kind with my toddler. Also the price of the cakes are extremely affordable. They have affordable fillings, cake flour, powdered sugar, any piping tip you need, also lots of edible sugar pieces that go great with any cake. This place deserves more credit, I've been driving past them for 2 years now and just found out about them. Will definitely be back!

IMHOI accompanied my friend to The Cake Works when she needed a few cake supplies. We were lucky that we arrived on a day that they were opened! (Only open 3 days a week; Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 10-4.)Even if you're not a baker, I bet you'll find something to buy! I did! I found some plastic party favor rings of Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger, plus some "Happy Birthday" party picks in yellow and blue for an upcoming birthday party that coincides with a Warriors TV playoff game!!!My friend found the cake rounds (of all sizes) and the pink cake boxes that she was looking for, and also found some bonus "aloha" party picks. The lady proprietor who helped us was very sweet and friendly. If I lived closer to The Cake Works, I'd love to take a cake decorating class. If you need cake supplies, candy-making supplies, cookie cutters, food coloring, sprinkles, cake dust, etc., etc., etc., this is your place!

Such a gem! Not only do they sell every kind of baking supply you can imagine (and some stuff you've probably never imagined) but the ladies who work here are lovely. Anytime I've had a question about baking or decorating, they've hooked me up. The classes are the best. I look forward to them all week. I used to be intimidated by cake decorating, but thanks to these classes, I've gained some pro skills, from working with fondant to doing a mirror glaze. Also the recipes you gain can't be beat. I encourage you to visit ... this place won't be around forever.

Quaint place to pick up baking supplies and decor, both edible and not such as candles, plastic toppers, and roses of varying size. The staff that has been present during my visits is older and a bit hard of hearing, but very nice and welcoming.I’ve attended both virtual and in-person classes with Cake Works organized by the company I work for; they’ve all been great as Cake Works provides kits with instructions, piping tips/bags, and our choice of fillings then proceeds to guide us in real time through whatever we’re learning that evening!

This place is pretty awesome. The variety of cupcakes and other baked goods is very good.We ordered a dozen assorted cupcakes for an event because my neighbor said this was one of her favorite places. We try to try different places and support local businesses. So we thought we'd head over here since it wasn't too far from the house.We were very happy with our choices. The cupcakes were fresh and nicely decorated. Service was very friendly and, our questions were answered cheerfully.This would be one of our go to cupcake places in the future. Forgot to snap a picture until later that evening.

The supplies are great, and the staff is helpful when I've been in there, but I have to knock some stars off for their inconsistent hours. It's what compelled me to write this review in the first place. They are only open 3 days a week, for 6 hours each day, and 10AM to 4PM means anyone with a standard 9-5 job is out of luck until Saturday. I called today a little before 3PM and got no answer, so we tried dropping by at 3:25PM, and the store was dark and shuttered. If you are going to maintain such limited hours, the least you could do for your customers is stick to posted hours so they feel like they can rely on you. And if you need to close the shop for an emergency, add something to your voicemail so customers don't waste their time with a trip.This is not the first time we have shown up at the store and it was closed during open hours, and it has happened enough that I felt it needed to be brought up. I always want to support local businesses, but this makes it hard to do.

I've been coming here for over 15 years after taking a class with my mom in middle school. After starting my own little home baking biz, I frequent the shop biweekly. It's amazing to see it standing after all these years and through COVID, too. It's been the same family owners for the whole time and they're kind/helpful ladies. I'd rather take my business here vs Amazon any day! Only con but not worth dropping a star is inventory fluctuates, sometimes they have exactly what I need and other times; they're just really low on supplies. I hope they can stick it out through the holiday season because they're the best local cake shop IMO

Incredibly nice place to shop. Everyone is friendly and they always have what I need for candy and confection projects.
