Delicious Cakes

My birthday was Sunday and we needed a German chocolate cake. I called on Wednesday and ordered it. Picked it up Saturday and was very impressed with service and store front. Looks like they do a lot of wedding cakes. Several young people in tasting cakes.
I have to say it was one of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever tasted. The cake was very moist and frosting was heavenly! We definitely will order cakes from them again!

CAN’T COUNT ON DELICIOUS CAKES
I wish I had seen the many negative reviews on Unilocal before we ordered our sons engagement
cake from Delicious Cakes. We had purchased a cake here about 7 years ago for my parents anniversary and were very happy with it… although thinking back, it wasn’t ready on time and created a bit of stress.
Anyhow, when I entered the bakery, the staff was not very friendly. No greeting or ask if they could help me. When I did tell them I wanted to order a cake, it took awhile for a woman to come out and sit with me. This was. Odd week, with multiple staff members and only one other customer in the store.
After going over many details, and drawings of the layers (like a small wedding cake-​larger layer on bottom with small layers on top), I was very excited with the explicit design we agreed on.
The day of the event was very busy, and I had my husband go and pick up the cake. He called from the bakery because what I had discussed with him was not what the cake looked like. We expected a 3 layer cake, that looked like a miniature wedding cake. Instead, what we had was a basic 3-​same sized layers, cake.
When I spoke with a staff member over the phone, and told her what was written on the order form and who I spoke with, there was no apology offered, just ‘we don’t have time to bake another.’ I told her how disappointed I was and she said she would talk to the manager and call me back. Surprise, never got a call back.
I was willing to pay more for a designed cake since it was such a special event. Instead I got a basic layer cake I could have made myself, and a feeling of being ripped off.
We definitely will not use them for the wedding cake, or any cake.

You ever look at food and just know that the tasting experience will be an epic fail? Yeah, that just happened here and by the looks of the staff lounging around in the back, I should’ve known better. I ordered 3 cupcakes, orange, pink champagne, and strawberry. Each one tasted like sappy, mushy, nastiness. There was an overload of artificial flavoring in each cupcake and as seen in the photos, they use that light bodied whip cream as icing. Le-​sigh. The lady who assisted me had a gnarly cough (of course she started hacking it up *after* swiping my card, YUCK!) $ 3 a pop of money wasted. Why did I do this to myself?!

Great tasting cake but lack of a attention to detail. They got the lettering wrong on our wedding cake. They came and fixed it but you can see the repair. The décor on the cake needed to symmetrical. It still was a great tasting cake.

Don’t come here. Cake is dry. This place is unorganized, unprofessional and outrageously s-​l-​o-​w!
I had a cake tasting with my fiancé and sister here. Upon our arrival the staff looked confused and shocked that there was even an appointment for a cake tasting. Nonetheless an older guy come out to attend to us. He hardly greeted us or even tried to have the typical conversation a baker has with any customer. He gave us a sheet of paper to select the flavors we wanted to taste and did not bother to describe to us in detail anything about the cakes or fillings. When we asked him questions he merely read the brief description written on the paper.
Once we selected flavors we were very shocked at what they brought out. Without even tasting the cake they all looked dried out and seemed like leftover cake that had been cut out. Bingo! When we tasted it we felt that confirmed. Unless they just have horridly dry cake always. The frostings were only two, chocolate and vanilla and we were not given any filling samples.
I wanted to leave then but the older man sat down to give us a consultation on design. Haha this man didn’t even understand simple design lingo! I barely know the lingo myself but after a few tastings you’d think a baker would have it more understood than I! He had absolutely no design taste which may be my opinion because failed to ask what we like, our style, color scheme, etc!
Will not be back.

In the past 5 years my family and i ordered plenty of cakes from this bakery. They had never disappointed us until i ordered a custom 2 tier cake for a Quinceañera.
I placed the order with an older gentleman and when i returned to pick it up 2 weeks later, the cake had not been baked.
The staff told me that the man was the owner and he had a tendency to take orders and misplace them. They NEVER apologized or offered to bake it the same day and deliver it until I asked.
Needless to say, I didnt return here and I’m still in search of a go-​to cake bakery in Dallas.

I had an amazing experience with Delicious cakes Addison. Nicole was great in walking me through every step. Despite some scary reviews about cakes not arriving on time Nicole was great and even gave me her personal cell number in case I had any issues on the day I would be able to contact her. The cake looked amazing!!! Exceeded my vision of what it was going to look like. The butter cream was a little too sweet for me but I’m picky with my icing though. The cake was really good though.

I placed an order for a custom cake to be delivered on 9÷8÷15 between the hours of 10 am and 10:30 am. The event was scheduled to take place at noon. At 9 am, I received a call asking what time the event was to take place and when I needed the cake delivered. I let them know that it was on my order form, but that the cake was to be delivered between 10 and 10:30. They stated that they had someone out on delivery and that the cake would be delivered between 11 and 11:15, would that be acceptable. I told them yes and reiterated that the event was scheduled for 12. At 11:45 I called to check on the drivers status and was told they were finishing the cake and would be here at 12:15. At 12:25, the cake had still not arrived, so I called again and they informed me the driver had rushed and the cake was messed up so she returned to the store to fix the cake. At 12:50, the cake was still not here, but they told me that they would be here by about 1:15. The cake arrived at 1:47. Remember, this event, which was a farewell to our CEO and being attended by 800+ employees, was supposed to take place at noon.
I do not know how the cake looked or tasted because at 1:40, I called to cancel the order since the party was over. It is now after 5:30 and I am still waiting to hear back from the owners who were out delivering other people’s cakes. I sure hope they had a better experience than I did.

I meet the owner at an event and she was so nice and delightful. Then I tasted her pecan pie cheesecake and was glad I was sitting down. I’m not a big fan of cheesecake as usually they are too sweet or rich I can’t tasted anything but sugar. I ate the entire piece of cheesecake and wanted seconds. The texture was creamy without being sticky and the pecan topping was crunchy & delicious without shocking my taste buds with an overload of syrupy sweetness. She also mentioned that she makes a Carmel cake and red velvet. I cannot wait to try them.

I have NOT ordered a custom cake from here, so this review is based solely on what I got out of the front case.
Before I place an order for a custom cake, I like to try a variety of what that bakery has available. Short story, it was not good… at all. And I found out that they don’t even bake their stuff there, and that they keep it in the front refrigerated case for who knows how long. The cupcakes are dry and flavorless. The icing looks like a two year old put it on blindfolded. The cake balls are horrible. The chocolate coating is sloppy and if I were to close my eyes I wouldn’t be able tell the differece between the flavors I bought. I got yellow cake and red velvet! I should easily be able to tell which one is which between those. They also had a few simple pre-​decorated cakes that looks rushed and also quite sloppy. The price they put on those… yikes…you would expect something better than that.
Like I said, I can’t speak for their custom cakes, so maybe it’s different there. But the sweets they have in the front case are definitely not up to par with the rest of that place, and I would say it actually takes the whole place down a peg. The displays are beautiful and the kitchen is clean. I believe they should take better care of what’s in the front case. It’s the first impression of the store, and as of right now, it’s sad. I bet if they took better care of it they would see more walk-​in foot traffic. Simply because of the purchases I tried that day… I will not be going back.

We ordered my 30^th bday cake – pink champagne and it was soooooo good! Everyone loved it and Meghan did an awesome job!
The customer service was a great experience also!

We ordered our wedding cake and groom’s cake from Delicious Cakes last year. The flavor Pink Champagne that they had recommended was so good! The staff was friendly especially Jill Fields. I liked how they weren’t rushing us to make a decision. The cake was everything I described to them. Also the cake was very moist! Looking forward to getting our free first year anniversary cake!

So disappointed! I ordered my mothers surprise 50^th birthday cake over a month in advance. I was so excited because between me and the young girl we came up with a gorgeous design. Purple buttercream roses on the bottom tier with gold pearls in the middle of each one then a solid gold top tier with a purple plaque and gold 50. I was to bring fresh flowers that she assured me they would place on top at the time of pickup. I go pick up the cake, the entire thing is purple, and the wrong shade of purple at that. No gold except the plaque. Also the ‘flowers’ on the bottom tier looked nothing like flowers (everyone thought they were ruffles) or the picture the girl showed me at the consult. When I told the lady it wasn’t what I ordered she immediately asked if I placed the order on the phone when I answered no she took the order form and said it matched the form. Unfortunately it did not. There were arrows pointing to the tiers specifying the colors. I then got nothing more than a cold ‘sorry’. I then hold out the flowers and she just looks at me when I told her they said they would place them on the cake she came back with ‘oh they said that did they?’ After asking if it would be an issue she took them back. Sad to say this looked nothing more than an overpriced grocery store cake.

BRIDES BEWARE! My husband and I got married this past October, and we contracted with Delicious Cakes to make us a beautiful four-​tier wedding cake and a groom’s cake. Well, the day of the wedding, NEITHER CAKE WAS DELIVERED TO THE VENUE despite my checking in with them a week before the wedding, and two days before the wedding. I was assured my cakes would be delivered promptly at 6pm (recpeption was to start at 7:30pm), and everything was in order. Well, after walking the aisle and saying «I do», my new husband and I are then informed by our stressed out looking wedding coordinator and my mother that our cakes have not arrived and they can’t get anyone to respond to them. They attempted to call the bakery and their «after hours number» 50+ times with no response. We ended up having a wedding guest go to a nearby grocery store to buy sheet cake so we would have a dessert to serve our wedding guests. I was so disappointed with the entire experience! Those are moments and memories we will never get back!
We finally did hear from the owner at 9:30pm stating he couldn’t get in touch with his delivery boy, but they could have the cakes there in «45 mins.» The reception was scheduled to end at 11pm, and by that point, it was just too late. The damage had been done.
We did get a prompt cash refund the next day and an apology letter from the owner the next day. He finally did get in touch with his delivery boy… was it a family emergency? A horrible accident? Anything reasonable? Nope. «I just forgot.» Those were the words told to us. The delivery boy «just forgot» and now we forever missed out on an iconic memory and moment of our wedding.

I’m having the worst luck with Unilocal reviews lately. I’m beginning to wonder if certain businesses have found a way to beat the system because I’m having too many horrid experiences at some highly rated Unilocal places.
Case and point, Delicious Cakes.
Two stars for customer service and taste. Zero stars for everything else.
I needed a cake for my one year old who was born right on thanksgiving weekend. I was having a rough time finding a reputable baker (y) that could make a custom cake for pick-​up the Saturday after thanksgiving. my first choice was closed, my second wasn’t taking any more orders for that week, my third was closed etc etc.
I had a somewhat elaborate Pinterest cake I had my heart set on so. I took to Unilocal to find a highly skilled baker and found these guys and Soon Ja’s bakery.
Soon Ja’s was my first choice but when I got there (physically) there was only one person taking orders, she was already with someone else and she had «no idea»…her words exactly, how long the wait would be. The place smelled like donuts, and had lots of cheap looking (sorry I know that sounds bad) pastries for sale.
I decided to send an e-​mail inquiry complete with an attached pic of the cake to get a quote, since in light of all the reviews they must do something right.
I also sent last ditch effort # 2 Delicious Cakes the same e-​mail request. They got right back to me within a few hours. A lovely girl called Nicole verified what I needed and gave me a jaw dropping estimate. $ 140 for a 9 inch double layer cake. Holy cannoli. I benched that estimate.
Soon ja’s bakery gets back with me many many hours later with an estimate of $ 79. Which I thought was good but I just couldn’t get the smell of hot grease out of my mind. I imagined my cake coming over but smelling like donuts and grease.
I went with Delicious cakes.
Ordering was easy as they already had my request. I paid for the cake and had my sister pick it up when it was time.
I was shocked when I saw what $ 140 bought me. What I got was like pre school version of the cake I had ordered. It looked Nothing like the photo. My cake was pastel pink, the one they made was the shade of pepto bismol. My inspiration cake has a thick fondant bow on the bottom. Theirs was half the width and rolled very thin. My cake was adorned with many edible flowers on and around a branch upon which an owl rested. Theirs had a few scattered flowers on what looked like a witch’s hand upon which sat a kindergarteners fondant project of an owl that was broken on one side and what was supposed to be the number one. It was just horrible. Not even close to the pic sent. In fact I’m certain I would have gotten better results at Walmart. I’ve seen them make more impressive cakes. The cake looked very, very cheap. Which is ironic for a very, very expensive cake.
Now if this cake was cheaper this would make sense but $ 140? I expect perfection for that price. I could buy many bales of flour and sugar for that price… when I pay all
that for a cake, I expect it to look like I paid that much for the cake.
All that said, I had no choice but to use it. It was thanksgiving weekend, I had no choice… I covered the thing in sparklers to hide its incredible ugliness. The one year old didn’t notice, the guests thought it tasted great. I didn’t care. For the amount I paid I needed it to be beautiful as well. It wasn’t …it was fugly. It was a fugly, expensive pepto bismol cake with broken owls and crooked ones.
I can’t help thinking that a cheaper donut smelling cake would have been a better bet.
Sorry Unilocalers I hate to say you are wrong on this one. There’s no way a wedding bakery that botched a cake this badly is worth referring anyone to… At least not for non-​wedding cakes. Walmart can do lots better. Either that or the 1^st grader that makes their custom cakes had homework on his mind that day. Either way, me and my money will never be back. This left a pepto bismol taste in my mouth. I still have the pepto smash cake they made to go with my main cake… too ugly to use. I got a different one for NOT $ 35. Maybe it should have a smash date with their window.
You have been warned… Take your money and Pinterest dreams elsewhere

I just came here recently for a cake tasting with Beverly! She went over everything with us. She let us enjoy the cake tasting and came by to check on us and answer any questions. it seems they are not pushy with sales because the quality and taste of the cake is what will sell it and make the purchase. She got my cake design and priced everything for me before i left which I love because I can put it in my wedding folder and compare to the other tastings I go to. However, this cake was just so delicious, and not too sweet where I left with a stomach ache and we did try about 9 different flavors! I think I will definitely go with them but I always like to keep my options open.

From the moment I stepped into Delicious Cakes I loved it. The place was well decorated and the staff was friendly. When we went to our cake tasting appointment all the cakes were great and it was hard to pick which one we wanted. They even gave us samples to take home.
The cake we ordered was simple but once they decorated it was flowers it was gorgeous and just what I imagined.
They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for. I would recommend them to anyone. They were a wonderful piece to my wedding puzzle.

I didn’t know what to expect but after walking in randomly one day I was happily surprised at the taste of their cakes. To start off they have a long list of cake flavors. Beverly assisted me & let me tried several generous portions, any flavors I wanted. I am definitely a fan of their pineapple cake because it has pineapple bits in there & not too sweet which is perfect as the frosting will balance that out. Same with the strawberry cake. There wasn’t one flavor I did not like from my samples. I placed an order for a design birthday cake to mimic a picture I have; stay tuned for my review of their cake art work after June 14^th!

This bakery is… not really sure how to word it. The staff is not friendly, they look at you as if you cannot afford to purchase cakes there, and this last time I ordered, they completely messed up the cake I order for my mother’s retirement dinner. The writing was wrong on the cake, and the girl working there tried to ask if I told the person who took my order the correct thing to write?! She then looked at the order form and realized she had made a mistake. THEN they tried to suggest an extra tacky quick fix because the writer who did the original writing on the cake was off that day.
They’re cakes do have a good flavor, and some of the pictures do look amazing, but unless you are spending money on a wedding cake, they don’t seem to value your time, wants, or needs. Save yourself the upset and drama. Shop around for a different bakery!

We used Delicious Cakes for our wedding this past weekend, and I was completely happy with our wedding cake.
First, Delicious Cakes’ prices were MUCH more reasonable than the other two places we went for cake tastings (hint: they are the other two places that are most Unilocaled for wedding cakes in Dallas). But on top of the price, they created a design I liked more than the other two, more expensive places.
The taste was good, and everything came out just as asked. I’ve attached cell phone pics for now, but will update with pro pics when those came in. One person at my wedding said my cake was «dead gorgeous» and the best cake she’d ever seen at a Sri Lankan wedding. Pretty high praise.
Overall, I totally recommend Delicious Cakes.
