Maddie was an amazing host for the cake decorating class she single handily saved my cake and helped me make a beautiful heart cake. If you want to have a fun time with your friends and make a beautiful cake definitely ask for Ms.Maddie and tip her well

I celebrated my 40th birthday with a few close friends and relatives. This place is so nice and decorated so cute. Maria was our instructor, she was very helpful and educational. I learned different techniques and tools just all around fun class and their speaker system is bomb! Would definitely recommend and return to this place.

OMG what phenomenal experience. My great niece celebrates her Aunties every year with an amazing event and this year she did not fail again. We had the pleasure of going to this place and we all had a GREAT time. We We arrived We were greeted by Maddie and Maria who made us all feel so welcomed. They were very personable which felt they were apart of the family and was there to make sure we enjoyed every moment. It is not often you find employees of an establishment that are this nice and who represent they're employer to this extent. The owner should be very please because Maddie and Maria represent and treat the company with love and respect and with people like these two your company should continue to do nothing but thrive. Maddie and Maria I want to thank you for making our family have a wonderful fun filled day with love and memories. We appreciate you for your kindness and loving spirits. We will return again because we had so much fun 😊

Due to a power outage my July 13th event for ten was cancelled last minute. Miranda, the owner appeared sincere in her apologies, promising a swift refund. She even promised to arrange another party for myself and guests including complimentary champagne and charcuterie for my guests at her expense. Three weeks later despite calls, texts and a visit to the venue to inquire I have yet to receive my $500 refund. Totally unprofessional.
My daughter scheduled a party for myself and eight others on July 13th. The owner was forced to cancel last minute due to a power outage. Miranda was very sincere in her apologies, promising a swift refund; she even said she would reschedule my event FOR FREE, including complimentary champagne and charcuterie for my guests. I thought this was a standard of customer service unmatched. Three weeks, numerous phone calls, texts and even a visit to the location due to lack of said refund netted additional promises (“You didn’t receive the funds? I’ll check right now and make things right “) and I have yet to receive my refund. Totally unacceptable.
My friends and I recently visited Cakes with a Whisk for a cake decorating class for a girls night and we had the most amazing night ever. Not only was our instructor Maria extremely sweet, but she was definitely a master cake decorator. I would refer this place to anyone that wants to host any type of birthday or event as it simply checks off all the bullets of having a great time!

Went for a cake decorating class. The instructors were very engaging and helpful. The cake itself was a bit dry and the buttercream frosting was very sweet.

I can’t say enough good things about this bakery! Miranda made the most beautiful cake for our event! Usually, cakes that look this good don’t always taste as amazing, but this one blew us away. It was hands down one of the best cakes we’ve ever had. All of our guests were raving about it, and so many people asked me where I got it from because it was THAT delicious.
This wasn’t my first time working with them — my first experience was just as incredible, which is exactly why I came back. They were once again so professional, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. They listened to exactly what I wanted and brought it to life perfectly.
I will absolutely use them for all of my future events. Couldn’t recommend them enough — Miranda is a pleasure to work with and created a cake that was every bit as tasty as it was stunning!

Underwhelming Cake Decorating Class by tik tok influencers - Value Questionable
I recently attended a cake decorating class here with a group of 9, paying $50 each with a promo (regularly $70). While it offered a basic introduction, the overall experience was quite underwhelming for the price.
A quick note on their online presence: The website is currently down, and there's no clear information about what the class actually covers. This led to some confusion among our group, with some people expecting to bake the cakes as well, which is not part of this class.
Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
No Baking, Pre-made Cakes: You won't be baking; the cakes are pre-made and frozen, provided as three small layers (feeding 4-5 people, or more with very small slices).
Limited Decorating: Decorations are minimal, primarily paper cutouts and molded candy melt chocolate. Don't expect to learn advanced icing techniques. The class focuses on very basic skills: stacking layers with buttercream, smoothing the outside, and one simple texture technique.
Cake Quality: The cake flavors and frosting were quite bland, and there was an excessive amount of icing and filling, which was almost too much. Hardly any cake. At the end, they do offer a piece of their cake to try.
Class Structure & Pacing: The session was advertised for 2 hours. This included a 30-minute buffer for socializing and setting out snacks/drinks (which you need to bring yourself, as nothing is available onsite). However, the decorating portion felt rushed and was completed in about an hour. The remaining time was spent eating cake, taking photos, and boxing up the cakes (which you do yourself). So basically an hour wasted setting up your own snacks/drinks, boxing your own cake and eating a slice of theirs.
Cleanliness: Upon arrival, the cleanliness was a concern, with my shoes sticking to the floor. Some of the other girls mentioned the bathroom being just ok too. I could literally never get in because it was always locked or occupied.
Overall Impression:
For the $50 price point, I found this class to be a rip-off. I had hoped for more diverse decorating techniques and a wider array of decorations. If the price were significantly lower, I might recommend it for someone who only wants to learn how to stack a tiered cake and apply a lot of frosting and filling to cheat a customer into thinking they have this huge cake LOL. Otherwise, it doesn't offer good value for money.
For more value and to bake and learn decorating techniques you’re better off hitting up Sur La table or another place that offers classes. Or better yet for free hop on YouTube! The techniques taught here definitely didn’t require a teacher for $50-$70 bucks.

Very unprofessional. I booked a class for my daughter’s birthday but they completely forgot about it. We had requested a red velvet cake and a 3:00 PM start time. Instead, they gave her a vanilla cake and didn’t begin the class until around 3:40. The frosting and filling were disappointing, and the entire experience felt rushed.

How do I get in contact with the owner? I have been calling for days and the website won’t load for an email?
5 stars isn't enough.
Delicious. Outstanding. Exceptional. I can't say enough good things about Cakes With a Whisk.
My sister-in-law got her baby shower cake from here and it was the best cake I've ever had!! It was a beautifully decorated cake. Each bite was soft, moist and absolutely delicious!!
I wish I would've taken a picture 🤦♂️
We made a family decision to only get cakes from here going forward!
I'm handicapped, leaving the house is difficult and they delivered the cake to my house!!! Unbelievable service!
If you haven't gone here, what are you waiting for?!?!
I can't wait to order up the next cake!!

The most unprofessional business ever. I wish I could leave zero stars. If you want to waste your time and be ignored by them for days as a paying customer they’re great for that!
