Cake Goddess LLC

Rude employee, unsanitary staff

No excuse for rude employees.

As the founder and CEO of Amoree’s Journey, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to children with complex medical needs, I’ve been through enough to know when something feels off. Today, inside Cake Goddess, LLC in Baton Rouge, something absolutely did.

I needed a birthday cake for my daughter. Her celebration had been postponed, so we were grabbing something simple and ready-made. A stock cake with her name on it would have been perfect. I wasn’t being picky. I wasn’t making a fuss. I just wanted her favorite color… hot pink… for the writing.

The woman behind the counter showed me two shades. I preferred the darker one but was concerned about the taste. Red dye, as most people know, can have a bitter, unpleasant aftertaste. I asked if she could dab a little of the icing onto something so I could check it. Not to eat… just to see the color and maybe smell it.

She looked at me like I had asked her to ice a ten-tier cake during a hurricane. Then she took the piping bag… wiped it on a trash bag inside a trash can… squeezed some icing onto a fork… and handed it to me.

I didn’t taste it. I simply looked at J, the nurse who was helping with the cake, and asked her which color looked better. She chose the lighter one, and that’s what we went with.

After we paid, I asked if the woman could toss the fork for me, since there was no trash can in the customer area. She picked up the same trash can and held it out for me to drop it in.

I cannot say for sure whether this was racial bias, poor judgment, or sheer carelessness… but I can say with confidence that I will never return to Cake Goddess.

If it had been my money, I would have walked out. No question. But J was covering the cake… so I let it slide. That doesn’t mean it was right.

No one should ever be handed food or even food decoration that came from something wiped on a trash bag. That is not just unsanitary… it is unacceptable.

This wasn’t just about a cake. It was supposed to be part of a celebration for a medically fragile child who has faced more challenges than most adults ever will. And instead of joy, I walked out with frustration, disappointment, and a heavy feeling in my chest.

To the owner… this should never happen to anyone. Not ever again.

Cake goddess always delivers!!!! Our cakes are always fresh, delicious and absolutely beautiful! Little pricey, but great cakes. Thank you.

Our cake was PERFECT! It came out better than we could have hoped and we hated to cut it. It tasted just as good as it looked. If I could give it 10 stars I would!

super rico, lo recomiendo 100% m, el sabor y la presentation expectaculares

I ordered a 3 tiered cake for a surprise adult birthday party. The cake was truly delicious and simply beautiful. They delivered it on time and was professional from the beginning of the process until the end (day of the event).

I ordered a first birthday cake and paid $193. I Live 9 minutes from the store. Came home and put it directly in the refrigerator as instructed. They recommend getting it out of the fridge 1 hour before you want to eat it. I took it out of refrigerator and put it on the table and with in 30 minutes it started bubbling on the side.

The Owner said they can’t control the heat outside so if the cake melted there is nothing they can do. However, this problem was not a cake that was melting from heat. I live 9 minutes from their shop. This cake was having problems from the buttercream not sticking to the cake. I’ve never had a cake bubble up like that. Then after a little while longer, a whole piece of the buttercream came completely off the cake.

This did not happen to the buttercream on the smash cake and so it was not a heat issue. It could have been something from the cake being too hot or cold when they put the buttercream on because the icing came off clean from the cake. No icing does that. Was there no crumb coating?

It’s disappointing a local shop doesn’t stand behind their work. Things happen and to not take responsibility is sad.

Buyer beware because it was embarrassing to have a cake look like this at such a special event!

The best chocolate cake and icing in town. Everything they prepare is delicious. They are professional and pleasant which means a lot in today's world. It's also easy to reach them, you don't get lost in a voicemail system or encouraged to go online to order. You get a live person when you call during the hours they are open.
