Lisa’s Rum Cake

Amazing cakes. I got a cake for my best friends birthday and it was the frosting on a great night.

Hands down the best cakes ever, my boyfriend was in heaven! I will be getting all my cakes from Lisa

Thank you Lisa’s Rum Cakes… My birthday last week was a wonderfully thoughtful event and your cake was one of the best things about it (I don’t care so much about gifts, I like birthday cake!).
I LOVE vanilla-​ish cake (sorry, vanilla haters) and your white cake with vanilla custard was amazing — best cake I’ve ever had, so I’m thinking seriously about celebrating my birthday next month too… sorta like a 1-​month birthday anniversary. Will be in touch about that!..

My boss had told me that Cathy’s Rum Cake was his absolute favorite cake in the entire world so, naturally, when his birthday came around I began to search for Cathy’s. Unilocal led me to Lisa, her daughter and I hoped against hope that the «classic Cathy’s rum cake» they offer was, in fact the real deal.
The cake itself was reasonable and impeccably decorated. Wonderful presentation. The delivery fee was a bit outrageous, but for convenience sake, I can’t complain. I didn’t have the time to go and pick it up from Gilbert.
As for the cake? According to my boss, the flavor is exactly spot on. It tasted exactly as he remembered. Where this cake was more spongy like angel food, the original was a bit more dense and grainy. Where this cake’s frosting had a thicker, almost meringue consistency, Cathy’s used to be much more airy and closer to whipped cream.
Barring these small differences, it was a dead ringer for the original and I will definitely be calling upon them again for our office cake needs.
So glad for Unilocal and I am so glad I found Lisa’s Rum Cake!

Our family always gets our special occassion cakes from Lisa’s Rum Cakes. They are decadent and gorgeous each time. I just had the Red Velvet Rum for my birthday– it was heavenly! Even my parents and sister who aren’t fond of red velvet enjoyed it thoroughly– and had seconds. And that is hard to do with my family! You can do no wrong with Lisa’s Rum Cakes. :)

This is THE place to get a cake for any event. I have ordered several cakes from them and they are always delicious. They are also always beautifully hand decorated. All of the flavors are delicious (personally I love the chocolate pumpkin chip they do around Halloween. But the candy cane Christmas cake is divine too!!)

Lisa Rum cake did a company birthday cake for us and it was amazing. The whipped cream frosting is so light and tasty and not overly sweet. The cake itself was moist and taste amazing. We loved the presentation and taste of this awesome cake. Their cakes are absolutely delicious!

we tried five cakes and they are all freaken delish yummyyyyyyyyyyyy… great customer service… will be back

Finally got to taste a piece of lisa rum cakes. Only tried rumfetti. It was awesome can’t wait to try the other flavors.

Recently ordered the strawberry coconut rum cake for my mother (Mother’s Day) and she absolutely loved it, everyone did! Moist cake (not box mix) and no super sweet hard frosting but instead a creamy whipped cream of some sort… Placed the actual order over the phone with Lisa and she was so helpful and sweet, even gave me a discount! Will defiantly be ordering another for my mothers birthday in June!

NO ONE USE LISA’S RUM CAKE UNLESS YOU WANT THE WORST SERVICE IN THE WORLD!!! I am so upset! My mom called to get a quote on a delivery charge for a cake for my shower, she called me to tell me how much it was and how mean this lady was who she spoke with. I was so shocked to here that, that I wanted to call and verify thinking that the lady maybe just missed quoted or was having a bad day. NOPE, I asked her how she based her pricing because my mom just called and she started yelling at me that I was a bi%@h and so was my mother for even asking. WTF! I will never NEVER go to Lisa’s Rum Cake again. It is sad too because we used to get all of our cakes from there and I wanted my shower and wedding cake from them but nope. You call my mom names and we will have issues, say what you want about me but not about her. #badbaker #badbusiness

We have missed Cathy’s Rum Cake! I had a 5 tier wedding cake from Cathy’s and we had a Cathy’s Rum Cake at every birthday for the adults and a smaller bakery cake for the kiddos for years!
I am so pleased I found Lisa and I am being 100% honest when I say the cake we purchased today was just as heavenly as the ones we used to purchase from Cathy’s!
I cannot wait to get our next cake from Lisa, we drove 40 minutes, and it was worth every penny!

I am obsessed with Lisa’s Rum Cake so much that they offer a cake that they once tailored for my picky taste (try the Neapolichip, I promise you’ll love it). I have used Lisa’s Rum Cake for several parties, my wedding reception (they coordinated drop off with my venue for me!), holiday gifts, and I have purchased CUTS just for fun. I’ve also gone to their open-​house tastings twice, which is almost better than Christmas.
Lisa’s is famous for the flavor of their cakes as opposed to extravagant designs. While their cakes look beautiful, I don’t believe they make the 10 tiered, jeweled, extravagant cakes you might see in a bridal magazine. Because they’re focused on the flavor, I don’t think they ever work with fondant (yuck). I also believe all of their cakes are non-​alcoholic, if that matters to you.
The only thing better than their cake is their customer service. We called them apparently after they closed 3 weeks ago, and without asking who was calling, they said they would stay there for a half hour to let us purchase some CUTS. While we were there, Madison offered to make us a cake on the spot (!!!), and we had a blast chatting with her and Lisa, as well as the rest of the family.
Apparently, I’ve promoted them so much on my personal Facebook page that a friend wrote me thinking that I worked for LRK. I figured that was a good sign that I should officially write some sort of review.

It’s no Kathys Rum Cake unfortunately. Not sure what they did or where they went wrong but they definitely went wrong.
The cake itself was very dry, the creams and fruit parts were fine, except the bananas. Which were WAY too ripe and brown to go in a cake. Almost sour.
We have been going to Cathys for over a decade and won’t be continuing on with Lisa’s now that Cathy is gone. You’re seriously better off just going to Costco or Sams Club now. Their cakes taste better. Especially considering how insanely priced Lisas is.

We bought the strawberry French vanilla cake for my parent’s 60^th anniversary party, and it was a big hit! The frosting was not too sweet, and the strawberries were fresh and not mushy, and the French vanilla filling was to-​die-​for! It wasn’t too heavy for after a big meal. We got our wedding cake from Cathy’s Rum Cake (Lisa’s mom) 28 years ago, and this one was just as delicious! The cakes are a little pricey, but I had a Groupon, so I saved $ 15. Totally worth it! The 8″ cake served all twelve of us at the party.

We bought the ameretto marble chip cake. The cake was very moist. I enjoyed that it was not too sweet and there was a good balance if chocolate and vanilla cream. Lisa was also very friendly and even helped me out to my car since I had my small son with me when picking up. Good product and good customer service. I look forward to trying more flavors in the future.

Thanks to frequent appearances on Groupon (plus the 15% cashback bonus from Discover), I’ve gotten two more cakes from Lisa’s, and I’ve been very happy with them. I got the chocolate rum last month which was crazy delicious. I loved the rum flavor in the custard, and the cake chocolate layers were incredibly moist. Ditto for the strawberry rum I got today. This is the flavor that they were known for back when Cathy’s Rum Cake was around. It’s the cake we had at my grandmother’s 75^th birthday nearly 20 years ago, and it tasted just as good as I remembered.
The cake is really some of the best I’ve had. I bake all the time, and there’s no way I could do anything this good. I’m surprised how much I like the custard filling because usually I don’t like that sort of thing, but it goes perfectly with the cake and the just-​sweet-​enough Italian whipped cream frosting.
Just a couple things keep me from giving them a 5^th star. It’s a bit steep without a coupon or discount. My sister is begging for one of their cakes for her birthday so if there’s no Groupon available, I’ll stick with the 25%off flavor of the month discount. Lastly, my cake today said «Doris» instead of «Dons» for the two guys named Don I was gave the cake to. I guess I can’t get too upset though since we have a great new nickname for our boss.

My Wife introduced me to Cathy’s Rum Cake about 18 years ago. It was the first time I had ever heard of it. I LOVED the incredible creation! Every year since I ordered her a Rum Cake from Cathy. This year, around March I was left with the option to buy a Rum cake from Lisa. I figured… it’s a family business so the recipe would be similiar if not exact. Now, they may be, but something is definately missing and that is, well… EVERYTHING!
The cake I ordered was so bad! We literally each took two bites. The first was awfull. The second was to make sure the first bite was not a Fluke. It most def. was not a fluke. The filling was sour/​bitter. Not spoiled though. The cake was gummy and dense. The frosting tasted like cool whip. Nothing close to what I first tasted 18 years ago and enjoyed almost every year since. Plane and simple… the cake sucked so bad that I am going to leave you with a quote from a current pop song! «We are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together»!

I have had Lisa’s Rum Cake on several occasions and every cake was delicious. My favorite flavors are Chocolate Coconut, Chocolate Cannoli and Tuxedo but personally all of their chocolate cakes are to die for.
They strive to make every experience a pleasurable one. They will even offer a grand tour of their cake factory when you pick up your cake. Kelly really enjoys explaining the new technology behind their business.
The owners Kelly and Lisa are the nicest people you will ever meet and their entire operation is family based.
When you come in, you’ll feel like a member of their family and leave with a awesome cake.

Ohhhhh Lisa’s rum cake is sooooo gooood. I used to eat Cathy’s rum cake when I used to live in phoenix, in fact, I think the cake at my dad’s wedding was a Cathy’s rum cake. So I was sad when I saw the Cathy’s empty! Come to find out, Cathy’s daughter Lisa opened in another location! So the BF got me a little tiny cake for my birthday because I had been craving one for all 4 years we lived out of state. It was chocolate raspberry, and it was delicious! It was also beautiful, it had edible glitter and was just really yummy. I will continue to come here for all of my cake needs :-)
