The cake turned out beautiful decoration wise and was exactly what I wanted. BUT, they would take long to reply back, with no updates. When I went to go pick up the cake I right away noticed the title I had asked for was written all crooked, and looked like it was written by a child. But I’m never one to complain so I let it go and didn’t mention it (I should’ve said something). I had the cake in the fridge all day like they asked me to. This cake was for my birthday which I was going to celebrate with my friends in a restaurant. I had it out of its box in a table they provided for so I can display it and my friends start to realize that within 20-30 minutes the cake looked like it was falling to the side. I check it out and it turned out the frosting was literally falling. It even made a huge bubble. I went to their business and explained what happened and the girl just kept saying it’s the change of temperature. I would understand if I was celebrating outside where it’s really hot but we were in a air conditioned place. There’s no way that can happen. I’ve made cakes before for parties and even attended to one of these parties and they had the cake I made displayed throughout the whole party and nothing happened to it. So no it’s not possible for that to happen. Anyways I explained to her for them to just admit that they probably didn’t let the bread to cool down fully after they took it out of the oven. That’s why the frosting didn’t stick. Of course they didn’t admit to anything, I asked if they could at least give me $30 back since the cake was $97! Which was overly priced. She didn’t know what to tell me so she told me to leave my number and name and the owner would call me back. Of course I knew that wasn’t going to happen and it didn’t.

Ordered a cake 2 weeks ago and the design I wanted was different than what I asked for. I went there bc they recommended it to me & their cakes are very detailed. I don't mind paying for an expensive cake, but I expect to get what I ordered. Ok so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and ordered a second cake 2 weeks later....well AGAIN they messed up on my order. We were at my daughter's dinner and when we cut the cake it was chocolate flavored, not how I ordered it. I ordered it checkered. It seems that they have a lot of orders and just want to expedite them as quickly as possible. Definitely won't be going there again. Very disappointed!

The cakes are beautiful, moist, and delicious. We ordered a chocolate vanilla marble cake with chocolate icing. I have a huge sweet tooth and crave the desserts from Cakes by Design. Truly talented bakery 👏

The best cakes. For several years we have had the best of experiences. His creations are unique. They are fast and do everything to please the customer. The best without a doubt.
I went and provided an inspo picture, I went there because i saw their instagram and saw they could make really detailed cakes, I was disappointed how mine came out, it was missing some print on the bottom and the top, for 150 dollars I was expecting more. Literally the fondant was supposed to be brown like? I had to add my own stickers at the top to make it look better. I went one month in advance and they didnt say that it was too complicated for them or they would do a different version of it, they should have told me I would have gone somewhere else. Don’t recommend this place at all. the cheetah print too came out weird like ?

The customer service is not good. There is a particular young female that “takes the orders”. She has a no customer service attitude. I have been a customer for many years but this girl really pushed me out to take my business some where else. Sadly,she’s given that same attitude to coworkers and friends.

This was my first time ordering a cake in Laredo and it was beyond disappointing. When ordering the cake, communication seemed fine and no employee ever said that the request was too complicated or not doable. When I picked up the cake, I was definitely disappointed. I provided inspo photos and again, they said they could do it. The cake I picked up looked like the bad diy version of when someone with no experience tries to do it on their own. I showed friends the inspo pic.versus what I got, and they laughed because it was comically bad. The exterior icing tasted like it had a hint of coconut..I messaged asking them if they had used coconut and they claimed they didn’t. But I have never had vanilla frosting taste like coconut. They have a very very limited selection of fillings (to be fair, this seems to be common in Laredo). Ultimately, I chose to go with Nutella which is an odd option to offer for a cake filling but whatever. You would have had to use a microscope to see the Nutella, it was visually non existent and you couldn’t taste it either. On top of that, the cake tasted dry. Overall, it felt like a waste of money and I will probably opt to get a cake in San Antonio or Austin if I ever need one.
This place is great easy to order i had a sweet 16 cake done for my daughter after i tried with other cake places in laredo everyone had crazy prices and nobody was honest but cakes by design made mine for good price it was simple and ready on time thats not it cake tasted amazing sweet soft buttercream was on point and made just how i wanted it great service

I ordered a gender reveal cake 4 days before the event. Communication was fast and easy through WhatsApp messaging and through their main phone number. I was never faced with rudeness which made ordering a nice experience. I sent an image through WhatsApp of what i wanted and for how many people. It was my first time ever ordering a cake from anywhere so i dont know if the pricing was too much or too little and i dont know if short notice of ordering matters. Ordered a cake for 35 people and it totaled about $150. I had to pay half of the price in advanced and the other half at pick up. When i picked up the cake I was surprised by how beautiful it looked and how it would make a beautiful center piece for the main snack table. The theme was donuts and the cake looked almost exactly as the example image I sent them. They gave me a lot of options for filling and bread but the mommy chose peach jam filling and white bread was the only option we had due to adding the blue coloring for the gender of a boy. I chose this place because reviews mentioned how their cakes taste homemade and the buttercream is amazing, which are things the mommy for the gender reveal wanted. They did not disappoint! Cake flavor was incredible! Im not exaggerating when i say it looked great but tasted much much better. I definitely recommend this shop a lot and will be buying from here again in the future.
