The Cake Shop

(Please note: I’ve never left a poor review, …especially for a small/local business). We recently moved back to Tallahassee, as this is my hometown. I was so excited to be able to frequent The Cake Shop again, as it’s been my family’s favorite for years. What an horrible mistake…….Both cakes not only looked horrendous, the icing tasted like a greasy mix of “barely sweetened crisco-butter.As well, I ordered the peanut-butter chocolate cake” and it had no peanut butter! Of course, I phoned immediately after opening the boxes and was told to send an email! (Needless to say, I did not use either cake and rushed to Publix for help). That was an expensive and stressful lesson. Very disappointed.

I’ve ordered two birthday cakes - 6” rounds. They were both delicious! This size cake is cheaper than the same one at Publix, and it is 10x more delicious! We ordered vanilla and peanut butter chocolate - both just wonderful! It also serves 6-8 people. Great value for a homemade cake! (In picture the 3D decorations are mine!)

One of our employees had a birthday and specifically requested a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting, and raspberry filling. Normally we'd buy the cakes from Fresh Market or Whole Foods, but I wanted to do a nice thing for this employee and get them exactly what they wanted. I called and placed my order - which is where the first red flag was. The young woman taking my order never asked for filling preference, so I had to stop her and specifically ask for the raspberry filling. Queue the next day, I stop by to pick up the cake and ask again at the counter SO THE FILLING IS RASPBERRY, CORRECT? And again the young woman says yes. So I'm surprised when we're at the employee's birthday celebration and cut the cake and it has WHITE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING as the filling. Are you kidding me?! This w

We stopped by a few weeks ago during FSU family weekend. The shop is adorable, we ate inside. Ordered mini cupcakes, a mini strawberry cheesecake and a mini key lime cake. Everything was very tasty. Friendly and quick service. Highly recommended.

I've been a customer for yrs. Since the John Knox Rd location and I've been ordering cakes for over 10 yrs. It's always fresh sometimes too fresh, lol. Ladies are always very nice and I go weekly actually. I've always been greeted very politely and with wonderful customer service. They even will make cupcakes for me if they are out in the display case. I've never had any worries about quality or taste. And my pooch loves you're doggie cookies!!
