Berkley Gourmet Cupcakes & Party Cakes, Inc.

Great cake! I do have to agree with a prior review that the cake was a little dry. But overall tastes good. The way they decorate looks professional and the costumer service was phenomenal. I ordered half chocolate, half vanilla.

This place needs to have a $$$$ price rating. I was just quoted $ 45 for a basic ¼ sheet cake. Even if their cake is amazingly good, their pricing is a big outrageous. So much for trying to support a local business.

I ordered a cake for my husbands birthday. It was pretty good, but the cake was dry. I think it had been sitting there for a few days. For the price paid I don’t think I will return.

I wanted a reeeeeeeeally nice Thomas the Train cake for my son’s birthday because this is the first time we are actually having a party. I looked online, got some ideas, and I went into a bakery that had a nice cake in their portfolio online. They told me they were too busy to even entertain my order because they were booked with weddings. That’s when I searched and found this bakery, they were very nice when I placed my order, and then I came home and read some less than positive reviews online and wanted to kick myself for not doing much research! I was worried until I picked up my cake today, all of my guest loved it and the best part is– YES it TASTED as good as it looked, I will definitely be back!

I checked out reviews on Unilocal when I went looking for a bakery for my sons first birthday. Party Cakes had the best reviews including the «not recommended» reviews. I stopped in about two months ago to sample their cupcakes and get pricing ideas. The customer service was incredible and the cupcakes were delicious. One of the best qualities about Party Cake cupcakes is their size. Not too small, not outrageously huge. Today I picked up my son’s birthday cake. I was so impressed with detail on both the large cake and his smash cake (which was included in the price of his main cake)! All our guests raved about the taste! It was a moist, delicious cake and it almost melted in my mouth! Thank you for making my son’s first birthday party so special.

Not even a year has passed since I initially reviewed this place and wow have things changed.
I went into the shop recently to buy cupcakes for a party, thinking that it would be an easy errand because of my previous experience. Well, the manager working was less than helpful, in fact she made me feel as if I were inconveniencing her, all of my questions were answered with one word so that I never really got a real answer to anything. I became so frustrated I decided to wait until another day in the evening hoping someone would be in the shop who may care about providing some customer service. The next time was the same thing. This time I asked more questions about cupcakes and was informed they had changed the recipes and that the cupcakes shown on the website are, in fact, not what they carry in the shop. She also told me if I were buying for a party the cupcakes are smaller than what you get from the case in the shop. Again, all of this information I gathered after pretty much having to interrogate her-​none of this was just offered. I ended up buying 4 cupcakes while there to make sure I still liked them. And the taste test left me VERY disappointed and sad. I used to love these!
The once great strawberry surprise is no longer great, all 4 cakes were dry, and they are smaller than they used to be. Unfortunately you can buy better cupcakes at Kroger.
I had been such a fan of this shop and really was hoping it would retain the great customer service and quality I experienced when it had first re-​opened. I hope things turn around and they can get back to being excellent.

Friendly, but not as good as Just Baked cupcakes. The frosting was too sweet.

Oh how I love this cupcake shop! It was October… my fiancé’s birthday was coming up and we were attending a large Halloween on his birthday. I was going to order a cake, but I thought to myself that bringing a cake was a hassle because then you would have to cut it, serve it and have plates and forks available. CUPCAKES were the answer! Luckily they had their delicious peanut butter cup cupcakes on sale that month, so I ordered 40 of them. I picked them up the morning of the party with no problems and I heard plenty of glowing compliments about the cupcakes. I recommend this shop to anyone with confidence that you will enjoy the treats there.

We ordered a cake for my birthday… white layer cake with raspberry filling, and light fluffy white frosting. The white frosting was the only item on our order that was correct. We got YELLOW CAKE, and just a white frosting filling. The taste of the cake was fine. The cake was $ 80. I can get a yellow cake with white frosting and filling at Kroger, or ANY store, the day of and they will write on the cake for me while I wait for $ 25. You order a cake to get exactly what you want. We try to support local business, however we will not support Berkley Gourmet Cupcakes & Party Cakes.

I like this place much more now than before, I believe ownership has changed in the last 6 months. I also had the pleasure of trying the vegan banana bread and I admit it was pretty darned good.

Bumpy cake (or as it is called here «ganache cake») is the best bumpy cake I’ve ever had. The Cake Truffles are AMAZING! Of course, this was all pre-​gluten free days, but I do remember them fondly. I still buy Party Cakes exclusivly for holiday parties as I’m the only Gluten Free kid in my family/​neighborhood

in the past I have ordered cakes from Party Cakes, they were always very good but it had been a few years. Today my husband picked up a cake for an event in his office. He brought home a piece and it was amazing. The cake was French Vanilla with Vanilla butter cream frosting, and it was perfect in every way. If you need a cake for a graduation, birthday or just to enjoy, Party Cakes is the place to go. Anybody who thinks Costco is a place for cakes is seriously misguided.

Yummmm… just thinking about Party Cakes makes my mouth water!
My baby turned one at the end of January. sniff. We of course had a big ol’ blow out party. Don’t get me wrong… I love costco cake… but this occasion called for something more special.
I had heard of Party Cakes in the past. Several of my family members had used them for parties and the cakes always turn out amazing. Most importantly their buttercream is heavenly. I am a HUGE frosting fan and if you can’t make good buttercream I don’t want anything to do with you. Theirs is fluffy and downright delicous. Thumbs up from me!
Riley’s birthday was a Winter ONE-​derland theme (cute right???). We just told them we wanted something wintery and to work their magic. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out that when you get a first birthday cake it also comes with a free smash cake. Bonus! Less work for me!
The cake was decorated beautifully and … OMG … tasted sooooooo good. We got so many compliments on the cake. I think my husband was in cake heaven. Their prices are very reasonable and they can pretty much create anything your heart desires. What I also like is that they really don’t use much fondant. Who likes fondant? It tastes horrible. Even on their elaborate design cakes they use buttercream… yum.
As a side note… I will say when I went to go pick up my cake Riley’s name was spelled wrong. You could tell they were thoroughly embarrassed and quickly fixed it. You couldn’t even tell there was a problem.
Even with the spelling error I still give them 5 stars and will definitely be back for all my future cake needs!

Party Cakes is AMAZING! I recommend it for all of your cake needs!
I found PC about 3 years ago when I was in a frantic search to find a place that could do a Playboy Bunny themed caked w/​hot pink frosting. The Cake Lady came through!
My friend and I were blown away by the great detail, but more importantly, great taste! The homemade butter cream frosting melts in your mouth and the marble cake on the inside was delicious and moist. I ordered the same cake the following year.
This year I needed a Hello Kitty themed cake. I am about to pick it up and have no doubt it will be just as wonderful as before. This place is so great that my friends have used it for their weddings after going in for a tasting!!!
