I ordered a strawberry birthday. Ask for my daughter and it was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone.

I am from Minnesota was I was looking for a place to order a cake for my mom's 60th birthday surprise party. The owner is so nice and helpful with what to put on the cake. The cake itself was moist and the cream on the cake was light. The cake was too sweet either. Everyone at the party devoured the cake and kept asking where we ordered it from. So I highly recommend this shop and told friends about it.

Decoration is very good indeed, but that’s about it.
The cake itself, is not that good. Ordered a 3 leches cake there, the bread was dry, insanely dry. The flavor was not close enough to 3 leches either to say that it might’ve dried up. At this point I’m convinced they just did a normal plain bread, no flavoring.
If you’re looking for something that looks good, but doesn’t taste the way you wanted it to, this is the place.

We have had cakes here for years and never been disappointed. They are perfect and my European husband loves that they are just sweet enough but never tasted like pure sugar. I just stopped to grab 4 small cakes yesterday for my husbands birthday. He said it was the best choice I made all day... I agree!
Parking: There is only one place to get these fantastic cakes and it is in Vally Junction.

I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday, and I am happy to report that it was awesome. I ordered a strawberry cake as she loves strawberries. The cake was light, and the whip cream was not too sweet, It was just right. My daughter loved it, and so did our guests. Will definitely order cakes from here again.
The one thing I'd say about the service would be that when I was ordering the cake I didn't get asked what type of decorations I wanted and I had to ask about the filling, as I was not asked if I wanted one, it was strawberry mousse which was good. All I was asked is the size of cake, flavor, and writing.
Parking: There are a few parking spots right in front of the cake shop, which is perfect.

AMAZING cake! Classic bakery, not modern. The cake & frosting are just sweet enough, not overly sweet & rich like most cakes. My family's had these cakes on multiple occasions! $5 mini cakes also available. Recommend the carrot cake and almond!

Not worth trying. I walked in and immediately there’s a smell. It smelled like an old, dusty house. It reminded me of my grandma’s house and she has a hoarding problem. I looked at all the cakes they have on display, they were not what I was looking for. Just gaudy. The main guy was there and had a rude tone. I walked out.I looked at the website a week before coming in. They need to do themselves a favor and update it. Pictures are small and it looks outdated.

Can’t say enough good things… we ordered a baptism cake and it was absolutely delicious! Our guests raved and raved about the cake for days. It was incredibly moist and the frosting was delicious. Besides the taste, we had great service and the cake was decorated beautifully. Definitely will order any future cakes here!

Cute little shop tucked away in valley junction. I had been seeing reviews and wanted to grab some cakes! I love that they have mini cakes so you can try several flavors without the commitment to a large cake.Each cake could definitely be individual, but easily shared between 2 people as well. We ended up getting several to share with a group.Key Lime: This was awesome! Definitely the favorite of everyoneWhite Wedding: It was good but nothing unique about it. If iou want a simple white cake, this is for you!Strawberry: For me it was a little too sweet and not as balanced as I would have liked, but my kids loved it.Carrot Cake: I didn’t try so can’t give an opinionThe overall consensus is although we enjoyed the cakes, we wished there was more cake and less frosting. The ratio was a little off for us and would have been much better with more cake.
Parking: Depending on the time of day you go, it could be difficult to find a spot to park since there is only street parking available.

We bought 4 cakes for a Quinceañera, one was a three tier, and they were exactly what we wanted and beautiful! We had tried some of the other well-known cake shops, this one tasted the best, hands down. They were delivered and setup on time at the event center, held up wonderfully, icing tasted awesome, and cake itself was moist and not dry at all. Everyone was raving about that cake!We bought 4 cakes for a Quinceañera, one with three tiers, and they were exactly what we wanted and very pretty! We have tried a few other cake shops and this is the best. They delivered and placed the cakes in the living room before the party, the cakes were very pretty the entire time, and very good tasting. Everyone was saying how tasty the cake was, everyone liked it, very satisfied, excellent!
