We Take the Cake

Absolutely delicious cake! Thank goodness they called to remind me to pick up, I thought they closed later on Saturdays and I almost missed having cake at my bday celebration! The peanut butter and chocolate is to die for!

My friend just sent me a box full of 8 mini cakes of different flavors. They are absolutely amazing. Delivered by Fedex in a box with dry ice they came perfectly cool even in hot FL temps. I would definitely recommend these!!!

Very friendly and helpful team. The cake was amazing and created to our specification. No stress. No hassle. Highly recommend!

This bakery is amazing! My husband designed and ordered my birthday cake from them and Brandi was extremely responsive and helpful through the entire process. When they brought out the cake, it was absolutely gorgeous, but I was even happier when I tasted how DELICIOUS it was! Our cake was layers of chocolate, fudge, strawberries and even a layer of some kind of amazing icing under the fondant YUM. Next time we have an event that calls for a cake, we’re calling this place again!

We Take the Cake was one of the bakeries that was offered with my wedding package.
I WAS BEYOND THRILLED WITH THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE FROM THE CAKE TESTING TO MY WEDDING DAY!
The staff was so professional and very understanding of my wants. Obviously with Pintrest it was a breeze. .My cake was PERFECT! Not only in looks but in taste as well. I got so many compliments on the taste of the cake and so many people wanted seconds!
I hope I can wait until my one year anniversary to eat the last of it. .I bet it will be just as good!

My boss gave me a box of the mini bundt cakes. There are four in a box. The red velvet and key lime flavor are the best!!!

What a pleasant little find this is — worth every penny but warning — not cheap! One of my work pals was on a mission to get that extra special cake for her lovely daughter’s sweet 16 and I decided to tag along because all my coworkers were gushing over this place it sounded even better than being alone in a room with a naked Colin Ferrell — I mean it has to be good, right? IT IS! It’s not an easy find as I imagine for bakery space and overhead they’re in a quaint little warehouse area of central Fort Lauderdale (if you can call a warehouse district «quaint» but this one seems well maintained with amiable businesses and the usual ennui of a south Florida warehouse area that gives you the jeebies that behind closed doors are rotting corpses and bags of cocaine… well you don’t get that here). There are samples available and you’re sure to stumble upon a wedding party or two planning their big event with that very special cake. From what my co-​worker told me — if you order a regular number it’s $ 80, but if you pop in and get a prepared one in their cooler it’s half — at $ 40. BTW, they do delivery and service throughout the lower 48 via FedEx.
Mesmerized by all the goodies I succumbed to a purchase of four beautiful cupcakes for $ 12 even — and yes I was a good boy, I only ate one while the other 3 were gifts for co-​workers. Sadly my birthday has passed but I need to come up with another celebratory event to merit ordering something from them — they are so mouth watering good — no more cakes outta the box for me — good riddance Betty Crocker or even better– BYE Felicia!

We ordered mini red velvet cupcakes for my baby shower. They did such a wonderful job. Everyone at my party complimented how delicious the frosting was!

I’ve been here a few times to get cupcakes and have had the cake at a wedding. Everything is delicious! This trip I had four cupcakes:
Coconut: toasted coconut on top
Chocolate: you can taste the cocoa/​chocolate in the frosting… taste fresh not like chemicals
Vanilla: very good tasting cake and buttercream frosting
red velvet: moist cake and topped with a rich cream cheese frosting
Cupcakes are $ 3/​each and only $ 2.50 if you buy at least 6. It is a great deal for the quality and size you receive. They also have mini Bundt cakes which are also quite good.
You can get full size frosted cakes or bundt cakes. They have some ready to buy or you can special order. They have seating for you to do cake sampling or eat your yummy treat. You can see the kitchen in the back where they make everything fresh.
Staff is friendly. You can signup for email offers or follow them on facebook for deals. There is parking right in front. It is in a warehouse district off the beaten path.
Check it out… you will become addicted:)

We Take the Cake is a gem of a bakery! My fiancé and I are planning our wedding and We Take the Cake is one of the cake vendors listed on our wedding package. This place is amazing and truly lives up to its name.
The red velvet cake was delicious, the chocolate cake was this wonderful mix of rich chocolate and brownie texture, the cream cheese frostings were devine, and the almond cake was also lovely. Overall, we were super excited to finally find a place where we could entrust our wedding cake for our big day!
Kimberli was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful during our cake tasting appointment and she made it a great experience.
Marluy, the cake designer, was professional and made us feel confident in her skills and experience that she could deliver on the intricate design we wanted for the cake.
Definitely recommend We Take the Cake for any event you are planning! Customer service is fantastic and the cake is heavenly!

The red velvet is THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD I have Ever tasted in my entire life!!! All of the flavors are amazing.

First let me start off by saying this place has amazing cake! I will definitely return for all my life’s cake needs! I seriously would have given this place top star rating, but the only downside was that the cake that I ordered wasn’t the cake I received. Initially I met with a representative there like 6 – 7 months before my wedding. I was told that I could change my cake design if I found something that I loved because I honestly didn’t expect to make a final decision right then and there… Anywho weeks before my wedding I went back and forth through emails with photos and details of what I wanted. She even called me to verify exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately when I saw my cake on my wedding day, my first reaction was «what is that! Is that my cake?» Don’t get me wrong, once the florist put some greenery on it and dressed it up it was beautiful, but it wasn’t what I ordered… Also it wasn’t to scale and was leaning. The worst part is that the cake topper was on the table and it was never put on. And if you are wondering, yes I did discuss it with them. I even discussed the weight and detail of the topper. Anywho, maybe this was a bad day, because their cakes are delicious and they are real unlike some cake companies that only give you 1 real layer and have the pan in the back. The cake was super yummy but they need work on their designing part…

Delicious received a chocolate cake from a friend& it was delivered! Loved the cake, shared w/​friends & they loved the cake. This was chocolate to the max! It arrived in a box w/​dry ice. I was pleased w/​packaging & directions to thaw — cake tasted fresh;)

There is a reason it was on Oprah’s Favorite Things list of the key lime pie amazing the customer decorate and a professional as you can get also just delicious I highly recommend this place!!! Make sure you order ahead of time it’s hard for them to do 24 to 48 hours for orders

Best cakes ever!!! Awesome customer service too! Thank you We Take the Cake and staff!

Red Velvet Heaven — searching for an appropriate Halloween cake I came across a beautiful, dark chocolate black rose red velvet cake on Williams-​Sonoma website. When I received this cake in the mail it was all I could do to not cut it open and taste it, it looked amazing!!!
But I placed it in the fridge and waited patiently until my dinner party and then voila! A picture perfect cake which complemented my Halloween menu. When my guests tasted it they actually all SCREAMED with delight. It was that delicious: a moist, red velvet cake with deep dark black chocolate icing beyond anything they have ever seen or tasted.
In short, order this cake. You will not be disappointed!!! It’s red velvet heaven!

We Take the Cake made an wonderful birthday cake to celebrate my grandmother’s 90^th birthday!
With just two days notice and a limited budget, the team helped me find a way to get a custom cake that was beautiful and delicious by explaining how I could make modifications to their standard cake offerings.
This was a wonderful way to get a special cake that everyone loved that didn’t break the bank. I’m so thrilled with We Take the Cake for taking the time to help me figure out how to add something special to our celebration.
Guests all raved about the cake and I know we’ll use them again the next time we need cake for any occasion!
Details:
Bottom tier: 9 inch combo 3-​layer cake with chocolate frosting inside. Iced with lavender-​tinted buttercream frosting with white chocolate shavings.
Top tier: 6 inch lemon 3-​layer cake with raspberry filling. Iced with cream cheese icing and lavender sixlets, topped with extra large white chocolate curls.
Served: 35 guests

So I had just gotten back from visiting my in-​laws who had a story about the BEST Key Lime Cake they ever had from a store in the Keys. They would go back year after year and grab up this cake. Until one year it was gone, they asked around but no one could tell them where it had gone or what it was. Them being in-​laws they couldn’t explain it much better to us. I searched around for Florida Key Lime Cakes and found all these write ups about We Take the Cake, and famous people loving it and what not. I had no idea Key Lime Cake existed, and, I don’t really eat cake. I usually eat too much pizza to even think about a dessert. I was going to have a go at this place to see if it would be good enough to send to my in-​laws and surprise them with something they had missed and been searching for. We came in here after breakfast, so we weren’t really that hungry. We walked in and were greeted graciously. I asked for a Famous Key Lime cake. I was going to pick one up as a gift for a friend who loves everything lime. She would be the best judge. At the counter they had mini Bundt cakes. T immediately asked for a chocolate, I asked for a mini Key Lime, and they up sold us a Golden Butter Pound cake. They looked amazing and were boxed in great packaging. We made it to the car and T dives straight in before I can even get the AC on.
Cold Triple Chocolate Fudge cake was unbelievable. Smooth, dense, sweet without being too sweet and moist. The Famous Key Lime was was just as fantastic. Rich, dense, moist. The key lime flavor was actually mind bending and lingered without being offensive. I see why if you find a good one you think about it for years. The Golden Butter Pound cake was my favorite. Again, same awesome consistency as the others but tasted like sweet browned butter. The caramel glaze was exceptional. We popped some sea salt on that one when we made it home with what was left over from the parking lot of the cake shop that we had just bought cakes from. If there was a camera on us we would have looked like The Biggest Loser «before» montage.
I will be sending these cakes everywhere. I have been converted. Less pizza more cake.

Soo good…
Received Oprah’s Favorite Key Lime Bundt Cake as a Christmas gift. Came in a cute brightly colored box. It was wrapped neatly and tight. The Key Lime Cream Cheese Frosting is placed in a small container on the side. When you are ready to consume, just stir the frosting and drizzle on the Bundt Cake.
The cake was incredibly moist. It’s made with real key limes, giving each bite a nice tang. Gives the cake a natural fruity flavor. The cream cheese frothing adds a nice sweetness to the cake as well.
Perfect gift for any key lime lover.

In my older age, I am becoming more and more discerning when it comes to sweets. It used to be «cake is cake.» Didn’t matter where it came from, whose name was decoratively scribbled on top or even what flavor really; cake is cake. But I don’t quite feel the same anymore. I now find myself taking one bite of sub par cake and then disposing of it without a second thought or sometimes even, and this is a shocker, I’ll pass on cake all together. So all this brings me to We Take the Cake.
When my sister was picking a cake for her wedding, We Take the Cake was listed as one of the vendors recommended by the hotel and that was included in her wedding package amongst a few other bakeries. After doing some hardcore cake testing, it was determined that, hands down, We Take the Cake was not only the best cake out of all the bakeries recommended, but probably the best cake any of us had ever had before. So good that we bought cupcakes to take home. The cupcakes are a little pricey, I think 6 of them were around 15 $. But well worth it. I tried lemon, red velvet, chocolate and vanilla and they were all superb. The cake is delicious and moist (I hate that word but sometimes it just fits) and the frosting is fluffy and perfect to taste. The red velvet has to be my favorite, but all the flavors were amazing.
In the end, my sister did in fact order her wedding cake from We Take the Cake and not only was it the best wedding cake I’ve ever had, but It looked beautiful. When designing the cake, my sister brought in a very specific picture that she wanted replicated. They made it even better and were very accommodating to my bridezilla of a sister.
As an added bonus, on a couple’s one year anniversary, We Take the Cake gives a free «top layer.» Saves from having to store cake in your freezer for a year to uphold that tradition. Eating a delicious fresh cake made to replicate that of the day of your wedding seems much more desirable than eating a cakesicle that’s been shoved in your freezer for a year.
I have since stopped by We Take the Cake once or twice just to pick up a cupcake when really needing a fill. so yummmm.
