Cakes By Christine NY

My Mom and I hosted a Baby Shower for my cousin today and I was eager to write this review about the AMAZING cake I ordered from Christine. The shower was a last minute decision, made just a week ago. I called a few places to try to order a 2 tiered cake but no one was taking orders as it was so short notice. Until I found Cakes By Christine. I read the Unilocal reviews and nervously decided to reach out to her. She emailed me back almost immediately and agreed to make the cake. I was still kind of nervous but pretty much had no choice but to have faith in Christine. The reason I was hesitant was because she didn’t come from a referral, never met her and only found her last minute from Google and Unilocal,and had less than a week to make it happen. I needed a gender neutral cake as we don’t know the sex of the baby until birth. I sent Christine some pics of cakes that I like and she sent me some pics of cakes she has made. After choosing from a pic of a beautiful cake she made, we made some slight adjustments and added a couple of details. Christine was super patient and assured me she will do whatever I like. This was 5 days ago.
Fast forward to today, day of shower. Christine arrived with an absolutely beautiful cake! She gave me tips on cutting it and sprayed the cake with an edible glittery shine. Gorgeous! Now time to eat the cake and praying the pregnant Mommy and guests will like it. Well it was a huge hit! Everyone raved about how moist and delicious the chocolate cake with chocolate filling was. And quite possibly the best chocolate cake ever!
Christine made this such an easy process and I can’t thank her enough. She is an absolute delight to work with, super easy going and makes a beautiful AND delicious cake! I will recommend her to everyone and can not wait to host another party to get a Cake By Christine!

When another baker unexpectedly reneged on our agreement for a custom cake five days before the party, I reached out to Christine in a blind panic, asking whether she might be available to help. Her responsiveness to e-​mails alone is commendable, with the first arriving in my inbox mere hours after I sent it. She admitted it’d be a tight schedule but was willing to take on the complex design. The cake was for my husband’s graduation, and she incorporated my random musings, ideas, and googled photos into an astonishing cake that elicited gasps (and photo snaps) from all those present. That she was able to create such an incredible cake in less than a week, with free delivery to our venue nonetheless, speaks volumes of her dedication and craft.
Had the cake only looked beautiful and tasted like cardboard, the whole thing would have been a wash but the yellow cake on the inside was incredibly moist, coupled nicely with a choux cream and fresh berry filling (berries incur an extra cost but she was very upfront about the breakdown of pricing).
Christine was extremely clear and communicative throughout the entire process, creating an edible celebration piece that just made the entire event. I’d give her my highest recommendation for anyone looking to create a custom cake for any special occasion.

I had a wonderful experience with Christine. I found her on Unilocal and saw many good reviews so I gave it a try and emailed her to ask her to help me make a Longevity Peach cake for my dad’s 80^th birthday. Like what other ppl said, she is very prompt with her responses by email. She was easy to work with. I had a limited budget and she was able to work around with it. The cake turned out better than expected. The details around the cake were exquisite. My dad loves the cake. The delighted look on him was priceless. She definitely made his simple birthday dinner even more special with the marvelous cake. I am so glad I found her to make the cake. She is very talented. Would definitely recommend her.

I ordered my son’s 1^st birthday cake from Christine and she is MAGIC. Her cakes are not only stunning but absolutely delicious. Christine is amazingly talented, always professional, and very accommodating. She takes pride in her work and will go the extra mile for you. Christine is just that kind of person. I never write reviews, but decided I had to in this instance. If you ever need an extraordinary cake, order it from Christine. You will not regret it!

I contacted Christine 3 days before my boyfriend’s birthday in the hopes that she could whip up something in time. I contacted her via her website and emailed her with what I had in mind. She replied back promptly and was very pleasant. I was ecstatic when she told me that she could take on the Johnny walker 3D sculpted cake that I wanted for my boyfriend’s 23^rd birthday. She even offered free delivery to where the party was being held. The cake was delivered as promised and everything went smoothly. Considering we were hit with a historic snow storm the weekend prior, it was a relief to know that she could accommodate my order. Everybody was raving about the cake and it was delicious! So soft, moist, and fresh tasting. She’s an artist with her baking. You can definitely tell that she puts a lot of time, thought, and effort into each of her cakes.

When planning our son’s first birthday party, even though the venue included a cake with our party package — I knew we had to place our order with Christine. I had been following Christine for years and had been waiting for an opportunity to work with her.
She was prompt with her responses by email and even tho I was planning the party from Toronto, Canada she made everything very easy.
I had a «Little Man» theme for our son’s party and Christine worked so hard on the design of our cake to make sure I got exactly what I had imagined. She went above and beyond to produce a work of art. And for that I am so thankful.
The day of, Christine and her husband came to drop off the cake and set up on the main table. I was able to catch them as they were leaving and so glad that I did.
Most importantly, not only was the cake beautiful — it also tasted delicious! Our family and friends couldn’t stop talking about the cake. Even weeks after!
Christine — thank you so much! Please do not stop doing what you do. You’re so talented! And know that I’m just looking for an excuse to have another party so I can order another cake from you…

We got a cake for a baby shower from Christine and all I can say is that it was amazing in every way. In terms of creativity and visual execution she leaves nothing by the wayside. Attendees of the party couldn’t stop talking about the cake all morning, and that was solely based on appearances!
The actual cake was nothing less than what you would expect from this expert baker. I’m sure some other shops may just take fairly boring cake and fancy it up thinking that the customer is only paying for the visual experience, but this was no question one of the finest baked confections I have ever had.
Delivery was made the day before by Christine and her husband, and they explained how swamped they get attending to all their orders each weekend. I’m sure some people trying to save a few bucks won’t appreciate the delivery service (trust me, it’s worth it), but you don’t want to be the idiot who ruined a cake you were waiting so long for.
Also, be aware that she packages the cakes in boxes so that they don’t squash the top riding I your car. I’ve seen some idiots describe the boxes as not fully closed –lol she intentionally closes them in a triangular manner to protect complicated cake topper situations.
All in all, best experience all around. There’s a reason her reviews are so good!

Edit — «I didn’t think you appreciate a damp box for your cake but maybe I was wrong». Owners sarcasm was clear in her response with respect to the damp box. I’m done with this review and will not be responding to the business anymore.
Edit — wow, the owner responded about not wanting to start a «pissing contest» (is that what you call it when responding to a complaint?) yet her sarcasm was clear that perhaps she was mistaken and I do indeed would prefer a damp box for my cake and somehow damp box tickled my fancy? nice job responding to a complaint. Ultimately u said you will be «right out» and your definition of such is 30 min. Feel free to respond further with your non pissing contest sarcasm.
Sure the cake looked fine but when it comes to the reliability of providing the product at the previously agreed time, not good! (Unless u allocate 30 minute to pick up a cake)
My wife’s been dealing with this business for our daughters birthday I took a look at the websites and all the cakes looked decent too however 1 star review as I started drafting this review sitting right outside waiting for this lady to show up and give me my freaking cake. We originally agreed on 11:30−12 pick up time and she changed it last minute that she’ll be available after 12. We arrived at 12:10 and waited 30 minutes for her to take the cake out and made us late for our daughters birthday party. The lady was not clear on the phone on the reason for delay, it was not clear if she’s inside prepping or still outside «finding a box», based on initial conversation she implied she’s looking for a box for the cake (and frankly how can u run out of boxes for a freaking cake shop come on!). Very frustrating and no transparency on what the heck she was doing as she wasn’t picking up her phone.
30 minutes later she came out with a cardboard box that’s not fully closed with some tape on top of it. She was apologetic but also defensive. «I’m coming right out» does NOT equate to a freaking 30 minute wait. I was honestly considering just leaving and buying a cake else where and call my credit card company.
Sure the cake may be decent but careful on her lack of time management ability (or lack of boxes) and better yet allocate 30 minute to pick up a freaking cake.

I’m so happy I ordered my son’s 1^st birthday cake from Christine. The cake she made was astonishing and gorgeous. She has perfectly design to the way I want it. My family and guests really enjoy it. Once again, Thank you, Christine!!!

Cakes by Christine helped with my daughter’s first birthday party.
The whole process from start to finish was positive. From the very first email to the cake delivery, she was quick to respond and kept me posted with her delivery ETA, which I appreciated. Our event was on a very hot summer day (July, sorry for the late post) but they made sure we got our order. If you haven’t checked out her website, check it out. Her cakes are absolutely beautiful. Her cakes are also VERY DELICIOUS! It wasn’t too heavy/​sugary sweet. We received so many compliments. Thanks Christine.

I was looking to have an edible art cake done for my daughter, & after searching long and hard I came across cakesbychristineny & I have to say I’m so happy I contacted her. After reading her reviews & mostly viewing all the beautifully crafted cakes she had done I asked for her to do my daughter’s Elsa Frozen castle theme cake! It was superb! Christine is so inviting & professional. She crafted this cake so eloquently & with such detail. She made my daughter’s bday party so complete with this amazing edible craft! She is diligent, timely, accurate, consistent & dependable! More so this cake was as fresh, not overly sweetened, & as delicious as can be; I couldn’t have asked for any one better. I’m grateful for her hard work & consistency. I would highly recommend having your cake crafted for your next occasion with Christine!
Thank you Christine!

I planned a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend’s 30^th bday… therefore I wanted to have a great looking cake! I was able to easily find cakes by Christine… and she was very, very helpful. she replied to my initial request in a matter of minutes… and she not only offered me the flexibility of designing the cake, but also offered me delivery and a really good and reasonable price. The cake itself was amazing… friends and family loved it. And the taste… really…really good! I definitely recommend cakes by Christine to anyone looking for a delicious good looking cake! And will definitely use her again!

Wanted to order some custom cupcakes for my best friend’s bridal shower and used Unilocal to help me. Christine was quick to respond to my emails and after exchanging some ideas, I came to a decision quickly to book her for the job. She did not disappoint! The cupcakes were a huge hit! My best friend couldn’t stop gushing about how much she loved them and the cupcakes were the most photographed item (besides the soon-​to-​be bride of course). Not only did the cupcakes look good, they tasted delicious as well. I would definitely order from her again!

I ordered my daughter’s 1^st birthday cake from Christine and it was absolutely perfect! I found Christine through a few different party blogs and once I saw the beautiful cakes she made, I knew she would be the perfect person to create my daughter’s cake. I showed her a picture of what type of cake I was looking for and she was able to design it perfectly. We also ordered a smash cake with a custom topper and it was so beautiful, I didn’t even want to eat it. We received a ton of compliments on how amazing the cake looked and more importantly, how it tasted. The cakes were the perfect centerpieces to our dessert table. Christine was also a pleasure to work with, so sweet and very responsive. I would highly recommend her and also definitely use her again for my next event.

We recently had Christine make a cake for my son’s 1^st birthday and it was the hit of the party! She was such a pleasure to collaborate with. She was very professional and answered all my questions promptly. Her artistic eye and attention to detail will leave you breathless! Her cakes are truly masterpieces, not only gorgeous to look at but delicious to taste as well. My only regret is not finding her sooner! I highly recommend Christine to make your next cake, whatever the occasion might be, you will not be disappointed =)

Christine did the cake for my son’s first birthday. I sent her a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like. She delivered the cake to my home on time, even though i kept changing the time on her! The cake blew me away! It looked even better than the picture I had sent her. I was so happy with the way it looked, but was even happier when I tasted it because it was probably the most delicious chocolate cake I have ever eaten! I cannot wait to host another party so she can make me one of her creations again!

Creativity at its best. My sister ordered a cake from christine and its probably the best cake ive ever seen. Everyone at the party was wowed! it was delish!

Thankfully while searching for a cake maker on Google, Christine popped up. I could tell automatically she would be creative and talented enough to make the cake I had wanted for my sisters baby shower. Christine really cared about my vision and what I wanted the cake to look like. From Christine’s past creations, to the end result of my cake, she left me at WOW! I’m so beyond happy that she made the cake I really wanted and because of her, my sisters shower was complete. The cake meant so much to me and the fact that my sister loved it made me even more happier. I got the signature cake flavor it was amazing! I will definitely use her for any other event I have and I will happily recommend her to family & friends.

Christine is the ultimate. Her creative mind is out of this world. We ordered 2 cakes last summer and they were more than what we could have ever imagined. The first cake was gone within minutes. The second cake was for my daughters birthday. I purposely ordered it larger than what I had needed so I could freeze the top layer to use two weeks later. It tasted just as fresh, and delicious as it was two weeks before. And she even delivered the cake to Long Island. What a bonus. We will be ordering our wedding cake from Christine and no one else. We cannot wait to see what it looks like. You will not regret ordering from Christine!

Christine’s cake is just speechless for not only look but also taste. She’s professional, so you can tell she doesn’t ignore little things and give them up. We had nautical theme cake that has waves, ship and whale on it. Just perfect look and soooooooo yummy. The cake was finished in 10 mins. Not so sweet and moisturized. Not greasy at all like other butter cake. Great detail and great taste. You will not regret that you ordered her cake.
