They make a mean cake. Our wedding cake was a spice cake and it was delicious. The cake was fresh and beautiful. The decoration was top notch, and the sugar roses looked quite real. It was delivered on time and it was exactly as we described.

This vendor was great! I had very precise ideas on what I wanted as a wedding cake. I told them I wanted white buttercream with black designs and black pearls draped around it. While many friends had said "that sounds awful", this vendor happily said they would make it work, and it was BEAUTIFUL. The cake was not gothic, as you probably think, but amazing. We topped it with bright purple flowers--so cool. I had many people tell me it was the best cake they've ever tasted. The best part? It was free for me because it was included in my package with the venue! I definitely recommend them.

All I can say is that they delivered me the wrong cake - need I say more?

Ann was lovely to work with, and the cake was quite lovely. I will say the top layer was definitely dry the next day when we ate a piece at home (red velvet) but we had great reviews of the mandarin orange cake served in the bottom tiers at the wedding

I can honestly say that the cake was very good, however it was much smaller than I envisioned and the design I requested could have been executed a little "prettier". Our experience with customer service was hot and cold; We felt like a valued customer during a couple of interactions whereas on other occasions we got straight shot answers with no warm/fuzzies and blank stares. Unfortunately, I do not believe that it was worth the price.

Creative Cakes made a beautiful and delicious almond cake with buttercream icing for my wedding. They worked with my husband and I to create a unique cake that fit our wedding theme. The guests continue to talk about how beautiful the cake looked. I'd recommend this bakery to anyone interested in a wedding cake that looks and tastes great!

After going to several different tastings, my daughter and her fiance selected Creative Cakes as the best tasting cake. We were very pleased with the taste (chocolate and lemon) as well as the design of the cake. We also bought our wedding favors there - white chocolate lollypops in the shape of a wedding cake. Cute, tasty and affordable. I'll definitely use them again.

We (my husband, myself and our guests) were very happy with the cake, it tasted wonderful! We had the spice cake with cream cheese filling and the buttercream frosting. Originally we wanted to have a very simple white cake with a couple dots and designs in white to make it look interesting so we could place a Wall-E and Eve cake topper on top, but we weren't able to get the topper. So a two weeks before the wedding, and a few days before the balance was due, I called and asked to a lot; I changed the number of people that the cake was serving due to less guests than we anticipated, I also changed the cake design and color to match two clay origami cranes, our new cake topper. They were great in making the change and even asked for a picture of the cranes or a swatch to match the colors. A few things to keep in mind. Take advantage of their cake tasting (aka open house) and their display. The provide a lot of options and if you're not getting an extremely fancy looking cake you'll get a good price. Their store front is a little run down, but the cake tasted great! If you miss their open house and talk with them in person make sure to let them know which flavors your are looking at especially if it is an unusual one because the spice cake that I tried came out of the freezer and was a little freezer burnt so I had doubts about the cake every now and then. The cake looked fantastic and tasted even better than I could imagine. I would recommend this bakery for your wedding cake. For those still reading enjoy your wedding and have a wonderful marriage!

We selected Creative Cakes because of all the tastings we did they were clearly the best cake that we had tasted. They were also very flexible in that they allow you to do different flavors in each tier, which not all of the places we visited allowed. All of our guests said it was exceptional wedding cake and that showed since we had none left over! We also ordered our favors here which we did because they were affordable. I fully recommend Creative Cakes any cake.

Creative Cakes did a wonderful job with my wedding cake. It was very simple but tasted fantastic. They even had the ribbon for my cake. Thank you for being a part of my wedding day.

I was a little nervous at first about not having a choice in our bakery selection because our wedding venue provided us with a cake. I went with my fiance' to the open house and tried many different cakes, which was very helpful. However, we were under the impression we would order our cake at this time and that was not the case because it was extremely busy! We made another appointment, which was so wonderful! We sat down with my parents and had an idea of what we wanted because we attended the open house. We definitely received the attention we wanted and tried all the different flavors again! We walked out of the door excited and with almond cupcakes in hand!!! :) On our wedding day, not only did our wedding cake look gorgeous, but it also tasted amazing! We received so many compliments on how moist and flavorful the spice and almond cake was! We enjoyed the leftover cake for a couple days after the wedding! We are really looking forward to our 1 year anniversary to enjoy the rest of our delicious cake! I highly recommend Creative Cakes!!! :)

They have monthly open houses, which made it so easy for my husband and I to taste all their cakes. The staff was attentive to my requests and matched colors from my invitations for details in the decorations perfectly! We got the pound cake with strawberries and double chocolate, and both were delicious!!

We had to use Creative Cakes as part of our package with the Marriott. They were pretty good. I believe the red velvet cake was better at the tasting than it was on our wedding day. It was not as moist as it was at the tasting, but the cake was beautiful. The customized our topper for us and we were pleased with that. The groom's cake was the best. It was an original Nintendo controller and the flavor was carrot cake. We were VERY pleased with the look and taste of that cake.

Our wedding cake was one thing that was spot on! We have no complaints. The cake was beautiful! They did an awesome job. They gave us EXACTLY what we asked for and it tasted exactly as it had the day of the tasting. There were no surprises here. Creative Cakes did an awesome job! The guests demolished the cake. It was delicious!

Creative Cakes was one of two options we had for cake as part of our reception "package." We went with a layer of chocolate cake (super moist and delicious) and almond (also delicious, very subtle). My only complaint - and not sure if it's really their fault - was that our package only included basic frosting and no flavored fillings. But their butter cream frosting is good, so I got over that quickly. At the reception, the cake looked great and the details were precisely executed.

We had to use Creative Cakes as part of our reception venue package. But we ended up being very impressed with them. Our cake was delicious and looked great. We went for the butter rum in the middle layer, and almond in the bottom and top layers, both with butter cream icing. Everyone raved that the cake was moist and delicious. The design was simple, as we wanted it - no fondant - just 3 layers of white butter cream frosting with soft purple accents. It looked and tasted great!

Creative Cakes is the vendor that is selected by the Tower Club and provides a cake free with your catering package. Not being able to personally chose the cake maker may make some brides nervous but TRUST that you are in good hands. Though we opted to add on extras that were not included in our package through the tower club, our final cake cost was surprisingly lower than most I've heard. We ordered the carrot cake with fondant with an edible drapping bow and it was both gorgeous and delicious. My husband and I rarely eat dessert so to truly love our wedding cake was unexpected for both of us. It's no surprise why this company has been around and successful for as long as they have!

their cakes were incredibly moist and yummy. i am not a big fan of icing, but theirs is very tasty. when we went in for our tasting i mentioned that we would not be tasting anything with nuts, since several people in my family have a nut allergy, and she immediately put a huge "NUT ALLERGY!!!" at the top of our form, to ensure that the bakers would not be in the vicinity of any nuts when they were baking the cake. i appreciated that level of attention to something that many people would have just ignored.
