Cake Fetish

Cake Fetish made my wedding cake exactly as I envisioned… and it was AMAZING! These folks do what they love, and they do it well. Best cakes in the world! I highly recommend.

These cupcakes are moist, made to perfection, & the balance of sweetness isn’t too overwhelming either. I really love ‘the Duchess’ cupcake — it’s Earl Grey & white chocolate mixed into 1 to create a deliciously great cupcake.

The best in town, try the Boston Cream. Great taste, fresh.

Solidly decent cupcakes… though, my teeth hurt when I eat them because they are SO sweet. To be this expensive, it should taste awesome, not just sugary sweet.

Pretty good cupcakes (not what is used to be a few years ago). I preferred the old montano plaza location. They have awful hours and the cupcake selection has been greatly reduced (approximately 6 flavors daily). The tables are full of crumbs and are never wiped down. Baker was leaning over and scooping flour out of a container that was just sitting in the ground… no hair nets. Too pricy.

Much better than I expected based on the reviews. I got the half-​baked (plenty left at 3pm) and was faced with a dilemma. The cake? Yummy. Moist and flavorful. The half-​baked cookie dough inside filling? Oh my goodness, I love cookie dough. The icing? Oh. My. God, the icing. Not over the top sweet, but PERFECTLY sweet – smooth and creamy, a nice hint of vanilla and sprinkled with chocolate chips. My dilemma? I save the best part for last, and couldn’t figure out what the best part was. Hmmmn… might have to go get another to figure it out.

Best cupcakes in Albuquerque! Let’s be serious there aren’t many options in the town. And they all use regular butter cream, thick and grainy — yuck. I despise regular butter cream and thankfully Cake Fetish takes the time to make French butter cream. I’ve been to the other shops in town and it’s crap in comparison to CF. They have a great variety of flavors, cupcakes are moist and flavorful.

I came in last week to place an order for a birthday cake and received five star customer service! I was told that they bake their cupcakes and cakes FRESH which I love. Everyone at the party loved the cake and commented on how the icing wasn’t too sweet. Definitely give this place a try!

There are some serious jewels at cake fetish — when discussing their cupcakes. My personal favorite is the Lemon one, I think it’s called Pucker Up. Now in terms of their cakes, they are vile. You can expect about 3 inches of fondant, by the time you pick off the fondant and get to the actual cake its abysmal at best.
On another note, don’t expect anything in the way of customer service. I had scheduled a cake tasting and called every day for a week to no avail. I ended up going with another baker.

Don’t even bother cakes are dry, frosting is good but there is way too much on top so it cancels out how good it is. The flavors have been the same for awhile so there is nothing new, I have been here several times and there are better places to go in ABQ. Save your money.

I was less than impressed. Cupcake was small (especially for the cost), dry, semi burnt, center had sunk in, third grader could’ve decorated it more creatively, and the icing was lacking in flavor. Plus the selection was simply uninspired. And to top it off, service was terrible and the girl behind the counter seemed bored out of her mind. Ain’t that the icing on this crappy cake? I’ve heard this place talked up – and perhaps that was why I was so disappointed. Probably will not come here again.

i have been coming here for years for one cupcake… the half baked. I find it odd that most of the time I am unable to get it unless i can go in first thing in the a.m. that is rarely feasible but as a business you should make sure your top selling cakes are available. (went in with kiddos at 11am and we were met with the young blonde girl’s uncaring «sold out»). as opposed to spending 15 – 30 dollars, I spent nada. I decided to not return again. I will figure out other options and tell my husband to go elsewhere for our special occasions.

Our family has tried to come back several times a year with multiple cake orders. We love to support local businesses. We love that this place is multi-​generations under one roof. We have had a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance however of encountering a rather uninspired blond young gal. She is very unlikely to answer questions thoroughly, does not really understand that she represents the business when she steps up behind the counter to take orders. Often treats customers as if we are bothering her. I recognize that this is a contrasting opinion on SERVICE to the earlier review, but I thought it might be useful to add.

First I should say I am not really a «cupcake» person per se. Molten lava cakes are my fav — but that’s not cheap or easily found. When I want a quick and easy sugar fix, I would definitely return again.
It’s located near the Coronado Mall, in the same complex that Stanton Optical is at.
I’m giving 5-​stars because of the excellent service I received. I came in AFTER closing — yeah I’d hate me too — and they still serviced me with a smile :)
I purchased the livingsocial deal and paid extra to make it a variety (only about $ 3 extra). It was super yummy! Unfortunately I have no freakin clue which one I like since there was a dozen — each a different flavor :/​The icing is not overly sweet and the cupcake was moist. The decoration on the cupcake was super cute! I loved it so much I purchased the deal again! :)

If I could give zero stars I would. This place puts out a living social deal and then acts upset when you want to use it. Hello? If you don’t want us to use your coupon then DONT PUT IT OUT! I called to order my cupcakes, as stated on the coupon, and I could tell instantly that the staff member was aggravated that I was using the coupon. I was rudely informed that I needed to call EXACTLY 48 hours or more before I could pick up the cupcakes. I ordered them to be picked up 5 days later. When I arrived I was given a dozen of plain vanilla cupcakes. Normally they have sprinkles which my daughter loves. When I asked about them I was rudely told those were not included with the coupon and if I wanted them I would have to pay 0.25 cents. Obviously 25 cents is not much but the principal is what counts. I have spent lots of money on cupcakes here in the past but the one time I use a coupon I am treated rudely? I will NEVER come here again and I would not waste my time if I was any of you. Rude service for mediocre cupcakes.

It’s hard not to smile upon walking into cake fetish –The sweet aroma, the display of beautiful cupcakes, and the cute cashiers!
The cupcakes are amazing, however the frosting is a little too sweet for me.

My quest to eat cupcakes across the country took me here yesterday afternoon.
I feel like I should apologize to the young lady working. Clearly my attempts to buy cupcakes were bothersome. So, for whatever I did that made you treat me like my business and my presence were an utter disgust and waste of your time, I’m sorry. Really. I hope your day (and your attitude) improved.
Now, the actual cupcakes. We got the mini mixed pack. The cake was moist, but lacked flavor. The frosting was an odd hybrid of whipped cream and butter that was disappointing. Overall, the quality was on par with a supermarket bakery. Not terrible, but not great.
As a whole, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively. I wouldn’t go back.

Amazing cakes. Love the variety. Simply put, they do cup cakes and they do them really well.

Came here on a Friday afternoon by recommendation of a coworker. I was skeptical since I’m a cupcake snob, spoiled by being able to travel a lot and taste from Georgetown cupcakes to Kara’s cupcakes…
I ordered 3 cupcakes including the red velvet and I was pleasantly surprised by how moist and tasty it was! I was very pleased and though no cupcake can replace the decadent Kara’s I must say they were pretty good.

Cupcakes are yummy. Duh.
Cake Fetish is a pretty darn good cupcake shop. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I have always been greeted warmly and treated well, never rushed or given the cold shoulder. Excellent customer service.
The selection is pretty good, lots of varieties to choose from. They have daily standards as well as day of the week standards. Each season they switch up flavors so you don’t get bored with what’s available. Each flavor has its appeal, and there is something for everyone.
I have to agree with other posters who have commented that the cake part of the cupcake is on the dry side — my advice to the owners would be to experiment with their recipes to work on a moister cake. That would really make a difference in the overall quality, as well as bump up my rating to 5 stars.
All in all, Cake Fetish is absolutely worthy of your business, but if they worked on the moist issue, they could really soar.
Thumbs up! Go enjoy a cupcake!
