Love this place. The prices are high but my team and I have our holiday even there every year. It truly is magical. I was VERY upset to learn the Caramel Cake was no longer available. This was the best cake you offered (in my opinion) and I hope you bring it back.

We had a wonderful experience for my granddaughters 7 the birthday girls day out . He baby sister was brought along without thinking that our reservation was for only 4 people and that the table only had room for 4 . We planned on holding her however when we were seated the staff had noticed we had brought the baby and set a high chair at our table allowing for 5 at our 4 person table . They were gracious and very attentive to my seven year old granddaughter to make it a very special experience!

Our Waitress Amanda was fabulous. I just had one issue, I requested to be moved for another table (the one they assigned for us was super uncomfortable I couldn’t fit well in the table because of a pillar on the wall also the table was shaking and I saw a couple ones available and the hostess told me that they didn’t have another table at the moment. I’m not blind! At the end the hostess just adjusted the table to be more stable but it was still uncomfortable to fit with the chair in the table

I made this reservation for my daughter and two friends. They came over all dressed up from a winter dance. They told their server that it was one of the girls bdays (it is Monday) and she did nothing. They told her again… I would have expected the bday glitter at least… kind of disappointing.

We went for my daughter’s 10th birthday and they made sure to make her feel very special which was amazing. We got the avocado stack which was delicious, the salmon is phenomenal and the leek pasta was delicious. The Rose Bubbly is pricey but WOW it was the best bubbly we have ever had. The tiramisu cake was out of this world delicious and the raspberry champagne cake was outstanding!! At the end they sprinkled “pixie dust” for an extra special extra birthday wish. Everything inside is gorgeous and just so fun to look at all the decorations.

The incredible Cake Bake Shop experience was made even more spectacular due to the amazing service provided by Arieanna. Our party of 6 was truly treated like royalty. Arieanna was extremely knowledgeable and provided spot on meal recommendations for each and every one of us, keeping our food preferences and dietary restrictions in mind. She kept our table clean and always had a drink ready for me. We throughly enjoyed our time with Arieanna and the wonderful staff at the Cake Bake Shop! You may walk in a stranger, but you’ll be leaving as a cherished friend. <3
The Cake Bake Shop - Carmel City CenterResponded on January 23, 2023Hello Jaclyn, Thank you for your kind review. We are so happy Arieanna was attentive and was able to provide a wonderful dining experience! We look forward to seeing you again soon. Warmly, The Cake Bake Shop

My friend and I had a wonderful lunch. The quiche was delicious, and so was the tiramisu cake. The only drawback was the noise level. It gets a bit loud in there.

Ariana was a great server… Thank you! Only down side would be choice of Italian tarentella music for background. It didn’t match the character of the restaurant. Smooth jazz or New Age music would be better.

I love the decor and ambience of Cake Bake. However, we were seated on the porch next to big windows and my grandson wore his coat and complained he was cold. I was too. Wind was blowing through the windows. Also, as much as I love this place I find some of the food to be mediocre. I’ve ordered quiche several times in the past and found it to be undercooked so I no longer order it. My noodles and cheese wasn’t as tasty as I hoped it would be. Should have had the chicken velvet soup which is fantastic. The bread was delicious and the iced tea and root beer were fine and the Earl’s Court cake was delicious. Our waitress Kala was fantastic and bent over backwards to make my grandson’s birthday dinner special. He did enjoy his meal with grandma.

We enjoyed visiting the Cake Bake Shop to celebrate our adult daughter’s birthday. We come from different ends of the state, so we decided to meet here after I saw the beautiful pictures a Facebook friend shared. It was indeed a stunning place to visit, especially for a special occasion when one doesn’t mind spending a bit of extra money. The food was very good, but the price is high for the offering. We loved the soft, comfortable seats! So many choices of beautiful cakes, pies, and cookies! We thought the cakes were delicious, but surprisingly not as dense and rich as they appeared. We thought the visit was very special and pleasant and worth the price for one visit. However, we probably would only return for dessert if we do come back. A nice place for a very special occasion!😊
The Cake Bake Shop - Carmel City CenterResponded on January 18, 2023Hello Laura, Thank you so much for the magical review. We truly appreciate it. We are delighted to hear that you celebrated your daughter's birthday with us. We hope that she had a wonderful birthday! It is great to hear that you enjoyed our savory and dessert menu. We hope to see you again in the future to enjoy more of our desserts! Warmly, The Cake Bake Shop
