Haute Cakes

Falana makes the most beautiful wedding cakes I’ve ever seen! The photos on her website are indeed her work. I’ve seen it first hand on numerous occasions.
And the tastes of her cakes and other desserts are simply amazing.
I’ve contracted her on a few occasions (wedding and birthday parties) and she’s ALWAYS been a consummate professional.
If you want a great one of a kind cake, use Haute Cakes Austin!!! They’re grrrrrreat!!!

I bought a ‘coupon’ for haute cakes to use for a specific special occasion. The cakes on their website look phenomenal. Problem number 1: very poor communication. I was asked to submit my request via email but then the responses I received contained one or two words and didn’t make any sense. When I would reply asking for clarification, I wouldn’t receive a response for several days. Problem number 2: you submit your cake idea online and you can’t use or submit anything that is trademarked (so no NFL teams, no SpongeBob, etc). So if I’m trying to convey an artistic idea online — how will I know what it will look like? Art is completely interpretational. VERY SCARY.
PROS: Despite all of the communication problems, and not knowing what my cake was going to look like (because I never spoke to anyone, nor did I meet with anyone to see/​discuss design) — the cake was very beautiful. Great looking cakes; clearly they have artistic talent. Another pro: I got home delivery on a Sunday! How nice is that? I’ve never even heard of such a thing. But I guess for the price I paid for that secret cake (despite the coupon), home delivery should come standard. Final pro is that after getting past all of the communication barriers, the owner (or whoever it was I finally spoke to) was SUPER nice.
I ended up eating 3 custom cakes the weekend I ordered my Haute Cake. While it was the prettiest (and everyone said it was the best LOOKING cake), everyone also said it was their least favorite tasting cake (chocolate with raspberry filling). The texture of the filling was weird, the frosting was way too buttery (almost slimy) and the cake was dry. So if you are in the market for the best looking cake around and for a super great design team, then look no further. Haute Cakes is the way to go. If you want looks AND taste, you might need to keep shopping around. But remember, they do home deliveries on Sunday’s. :)

Totally unprofessional business! I submitted an order for a cake for my daughter’s graduation party online (as that was their only option) three weeks in advance. I was a little concerned about the fact that I had waited so long to order a cake during a season with weddings, graduations, etc.
I received an email back days later requesting a conversation to discuss details of the cake.
Because of the delayed response I had already ordered another cake elsewhere and planned to use my Groupon later.
I received a call the afternoon before my event saying my cake was ready… Seriously??? I was surprised as we had not discussed my order yet. She then admitted that she just had a sheet cake baked which could be used for anybody’s order and claimed my Groupon was now redeemed. Bye bye $ 75!

Haute Cakes made a super cool and super delicious cake for our son’s birthday party. The kids couldn’t stop eating and the parents couldn’t stop raving over how cute and tasty the cake was. We went for chocolate with strawberry filing that moist and tasty. Awesome cake!

We ordered the chocolate cake with chocolate cream filling. The cake was pretty delicious, and we received many compliments on it. It wasn’t too sweet and the cake itself was very moist. One mishap though – we ordered it for my daughter’s first birthday, and her name was spelled incorrectly. It could have been decorated a bit more for what it was worth ($ 170); however I wasn’t too disappointed since we got a deal on Groupon ($ 75 for $ 150 to be used there). I also tried to get in contact with the business a few times prior to the event date, and I was unsuccessful with getting someone to call/​email me back. I did eventually receive an email confirmation the evening before; however I have to admit I was a bit worried and ordered cupcakes beforehand from another bakery as back-​up in case we weren’t going to have a cake for her birthday party.

My best friend is having her first baby (a girl!!) and I wanted to make sure everything was totally fabulous and special. I contacted Haute Cakes about creating a cake for the shower. Falana helped me choose a style and even let me taste samples. I chose Italian cream cake and we settle on the colors and design. When I picked it up, I just about cried– the cake looked like the picture come to life! It was absolutely stunning and smelled great. Everyone at the shower was blown away by how pretty it was. But looks only get you so far– the cake was delicious too! I will absolutely be going back for more custom cakes from Haute Cakes!

I went to a baby shower over the weekend and the cake was made by Haute cakes. It was chocolate and sooooo good! I hate it when you have these beautifully adorned cakes and the outside is pure fondant and sugar and hard as a rock, then you taste it and you can tell it was made four days ago and sat in a fridge-​NOT THIS CAKE! Super moist, decadent, but not over the top rich where I couldn’t finish my piece (no, no, I wanted another).
It was also decorated so pretty and matched the theme of the party perfectly, but wasn’t over the top annoying Baby shower cake either (you ladies know what I am talking about!)
Give it a whirl for any special occasion!

There are only two words to describe Haute Cakes … «SIMPLY INCREDIBLE»! I reached out to this company to make a cake for one of my events a few years back. They attentively listened to my request for color, decoration, flavor, and style and their attention to detail was great. Needles to say, the cake delivered was AMAZING and they have had my business ever since. It is rare to find a gem among the rough these days … but if you are looking for magazine worthy professional cake at an affordable price, look no further :)
