The cake made for our daughter’s wedding, Kelly Long Centeno, included a castle made of white chocolate on top, 3 layers that was almond with raspberry filling. It was absolutely stunning and tasted as good as it looked! And we Highly recommend Cake Buds for all of your baking needs! Thank you so much for making this ceremony over the top!
Do not ever give this nasty place your business. I ordered a graduation cake for my granddaughter, and they completely ignored my instructions. This business was given a picture of the cake we wanted. How could anyone mess up so bad. It was so nasty and dusty in the bakery my allergies went crazy and I was coughing from off the dust.
I'm just really disappointed. Ordered a cake for my anniversary, and it was beautiful. It looked SO delicious, and I was so excited to eat it. But I took one bite, and it tasted AWFUL. The frosting (my favorite part; I even asked that they make it extra thick) was honestly, genuinely, the worst I've ever had, from anywhere. It tasted like they forgot to put in some important ingredients; the best I can describe it is it tasted like whipped butter with no sugar. It's hard to even describe. I could not believe it. Frosting is a simple thing to not screw up, and this is a CAKE PLACE. Messing this up so badly is not acceptable. The actual cake itself was fine, but I just couldn't get past the awful frosting. I literally threw it in the trash while crying (this is a true story). I believe their cakes are mostly for show. If you want a cake that tastes good and that you want to actually eat, you simply have to go elsewhere. If you want a work of art you can display and admire but not eat, this is your place. This was my second try there (I tried them several years ago, found it unimpressive-tasting and received rude customer service), but decided to give them another try since they've been on several TV shows, etc. I figured maybe they had improved or perhaps I was wrong the first time. Never again. Looking through the reviews here, it seems common for them to have a defensive, blame-the-customer response to any critiques. Also, not allowing reviews on your Facebook page is shady. Finally, their newer cakeshakes also taste terrible and are way over-priced.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Not even close to the pictures we provided. Needed a cake for graduation paid $250. and this INCOMPETENT BUSINESS still got it wrong
I bought a cake for someone's birthday. It was dry and did not taste good at all. LOTS of fondant but very little frosting on the cake or between the layers. The cakes are very high priced to be such poor quality. I won't buy again from Cake Buds and will let others know my experience when they are looking for a bakery. If you dare bring this up to Timmy, he will block you and tell you that you are full of crap. His cakes are impeccable. AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS!!!!
We had been looking forward to trying this place and finally made it today. I was excited their website said there was vegan cake, my favorite food. When we arrived, there was only cupcakes and cakebuds. No vegan. There was a selection of ice cream, but they were out of most. I got the pumpkin latte and birthday cake. They were so freezer burned, besides the spice in the pumpkin it was flavorless. My husband got cherry chocolate chip, it was also freezer burned, but he said if it wasn't it would have good. I think if you want a themed cake pre-ordered this might be the place, but super disappointed.
I’ve gotten macarons and cupcakes from here quite a few times. I’ve also had their cupcakes at a few events. The macarons are alright, but I’m always disappointed in the cupcakes. The cake has a strange flavor and density to it, and the buttercream doesn’t have a correct butter to sugar ratio. In other words, the cake has a funny tasteless taste and the icing has too much butter and too little sugar. I’m giving it three stars because I DID like their macarons and they do make some pretty impressive cakes. I don’t know what they taste like though. Hopefully, they are better than the cupcakes.
Thank you for my cake order. Taste as good as it was beautiful.
I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday. I provided specific instructions. I spent over $200 on the cake and cupcakes. On the day of the party, I messaged them on Facebook requesting a picture to make sure the cake was correct. I did not receive a response, so I called the store. I was told no one could send me a picture of the cake because they were all using their personal phones. I asked for them to send me a picture on Facebook messenger. I then received a message saying they would send me a picture as soon as they got back to the shop. I never received the picture. My husband picked up the cake and sent me a picture. I called him immediately to tell them the cake was not correct. The cake was 2 squishmallows. One was suppose to be upside down on the other. I called the following day to speak with the manager. I was told she was gone to lunch and would call me back. I did not get a call back. So the following day, I called back. Finally Angela called me back. I explained the issue. She said she reviewed the notes and pics and I never said to put the one upside down. I have the pics that Hannah took off my phone for the cake showing the one squishmallow upside down.The cupcakes I got were so cute and adorable. However, the cake was not even edible. No one at the party could eat it.I was told by Angela that there was nothing they could do. It was not their fault.So I will say the craftsmanship was good (minus the major mistake). The taste was way off and no good at all. Customer service was the worst of any business I have dealt with. I feel that them not sending the picture of the cake before the party, they knew they messed up.I would not recommend this business at all
