Cakewalk Baking Company

Thanks so much for the carrot birthday cake !!
A+ melts in your mouth !!
Clearly made with the secret ingredients from the heart.

I tried Cakewalk due to the encouragement of a good friend who lives near Cakewalk. Ugh. What a huge disappointment. Dillos are palatable, but way too sweet and heavy to seek out as a vegan treat. You don’t want to try them again, I promise. I also tried an oversize brownie/cookie…way too sweet and gross texture. I will stick with City Cakes.

It’s nice to have a vegan bakery in town. The cakes were moist and sweet, and we liked the dillos (though they were a little too sweet for me). Not somewhere I would go all the time, I’d rather make my own vegan cookies and cakes at home, and they didn’t seem to have a huge selection, but it was nice to visit for a treat.

This place is pure vegan gold.
Everything that I have tried here has been absolute perfection. The frosting is always rich and amazing, and the cake is always moist. Both of those qualities are rarely found in vegan food, so I am super impressed.
Now the bad news. I checked the website, and it said that this location is now closed, but you can still make custom orders online. While I am still glad to hear that I can get my fix, I’m not too thrilled that I can’t just pop in whenever I feel like it.

AMAZING. I ordered a birthday cake and the person on the phone was very friendly and helpful. When I went to pick up my cake, the girl working was very sweet and helpful. My experience couldn’t have been better. Plus, I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices are (I had to double check that I wasn’t being under-​charged!)
BTW, the store is the cutest thing ever inside. Also, I ordered a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream on the inside and chocolate buttercream frosting on the outside. No one believed that it was vegan (the non-​vegan non-​believers, of course, haha). «How did they make it? It tastes sooo good» is all I heard. It was so moist and delicious.
I also tried the peanut butter and apple pie cupcakes and I can’t decide which was better because they were both so good I was dying over how this might be a new addiction.

I love Cakewalk! I’m friends with the owner as well as one of the employees and can’t get enough of their signature Dillos! Since I’m not in the area often, I order Dillos from them online as well. Great owner with an awesome bakery! You won’t be disappointed by her delicious baked goods.

The cupcakes here are amazing. Taste, texture, absolutely delicious. The staff is lovely as well. I HIGHLY recommend getting a «Dillo» its pretty much a Twinkie but WAY better.

I really liked the carrot cake cupcakes. Very moist cake and a tasty frosting!

Prices here are pretty good, and the «all day cookie» I got was good but nothing over the top, I am not vegan so maybe it was outstanding for the usual vegan fare. Cute little place though.

Probably the best bakery I’ve ever been to. Their soft serve ice cream treats are delicious and so is pretty much everything else. That’s right, you really can’t go wrong with anything you purchase here. Their all day cookies are so awesomely good. I really don’t have a single negative thing to say about Cakewalk. The employees working there have been nothing but nice and exemplary in their customer service and for all of these reasons, I definitely feel like Cakewalk deserves a 5 star rating.

Not vegan here but happened to be driving by this bakery with a craving for something sweet. Saw the cup cake on the sign and made a quick u-​turn. I bought a strawberry cup cake and it is fabulous… the icing is just right. I also picked up a banana w/​cream cheese frosting for hubby and a chocolate cup cake with peanut butter frosting for me for later on in the weekend.
A great find and you should definitely support this neighborhood shop!

Outstanding across-​the-​board … as I noted in another recent review, it says a lot for SLC that it can host a place as cool as this.
I got a frosting sandwich, basically (two chocolate chip cookies with frosting in-​between). VERY tasty … who knew that vegan frosting could be so good? Not me, until my visit …

Firstly i love the owner, Kelly. She is an activist to the core and strives to bring you the best vegan treats using all vegan ingredients. She even uses all vegan cleaning products. The soft serve is amazing, and the various non dessert treats she stocks are top notch, like her choices of vegan cheeses and jerkys and marshmellows!
My favorites are cakeballs, the cookies, her vegan version of a twinkie, which i called a dillio are to die for, especially the peanut butter ones. Her eclairs are amazing as well!
In short shes a radical lady, her food is top notch, and the lending library of various vegan and activist titles are amazing. go there or never know what its like to enjoy delicious vegan treats!

I can’t stay away from this place!
I went for lunch this time and had the «gas station nachos» which were made up of crispy tortilla chips topped with (amazing) vegan chili, ooey-​gooey vegan cheese whiz, and vegan and sour cream. These didn’t even make it the 2 blocks back to work with me and I wanted to turn around and go get more.
I also splurged and had a mint chocolate cupcake. The cake was extremely moist and the frosting was… frosting-​y. No other way to describe it. Simply delicious.

Because of my work commute, I pass my this cute little shop every day. I have limited myself to one cupcake a week, since I can eat like a horse, I really trying not to.
I am actually not vegan, nor vegetarian. I eat any and all items in the food kingdom and I do so with a smile on my chubby cheek little face. After seeing this shop so much, the only thing going through my head is «cupcake, cupcake, cupcake, mmmmm. I like cupcakes.»
After a month, and four cupcakes later, I asked the girl ‘So, which ones are vegan?” I mostly asked out of curiosity, not because I am thinking of changing my eating habits.
If you think at this point I felt like an ass when she told me that they all are, then yes, you are correct. Oooooh. Wow. I stared at her blankly with a «Really? But they taste like cupcakes, and they are yummy. And why am I so stupid?» kind of look.
Being a non-​vegan, I thought maybe my sweet powers of review, and my love of all things edible, could be helpful at this point. These are the morsels I have inhaled as of now:
Boston Cream Pie — This is good, but not my favorite out of all of them. The cake is heavy, but with the creamy filling inside, it does balance out. This is still good, and I would still eat another one, but out of the dozens I have eaten so far, probably the bottom of my ‘If I could marry a cupcake and live happily ever after’ list.
Éclair — this was great, but this one was the only one that I thought tasted different texture-​wise. The bread part of it reminds me of flaky phyllo dough. Still wonderful. Still I ate every bit and with a large smile. Custard was smooth, chocolate was divine.
Cannonballs– These are like little filled balls of chocolate. Only a dollar, I can buy four of them and still feel like I am on my cupcake diet plan.
Coconut with lemon filling — Yes, I eat everything, but coconut is not on the top of my ‘things I love’ list. But holy cupcake Batman! The coconut with the lemon frosting was freakishly awesome!
Cherry Cobbler Cake (?) — This also had a filling inside and yes, it did resemble a Cherry Cobbler. And yes, it was super tasty as well.
Chai cupcake — I admit, I am not much of a Chai drinker. I was a little weary about this one. But it was frighteningly good. It tastes like spice cake. This makes me not want to eat anything afterwords, so that the taste stays in my mouth forever.
Oreo cupcake — Stunning cupcake with its Oreo crumbles on top. I don’t know if they are real Oreos (not being vegan and all), but since I don’t actually care — then yes, it is okay to salivate now and knock over small children to get at this cupcake.
Giant Carrot Cake — This ties for best cupcake, by the way. This thing was one of the best carrot cakes I have ever had. I would assume it’s not cream cheese frosting, but ooooh ya, it tasted like it. My hubby also thought this Cake was super great. I would steal this out of someone’s home if I could.
Dillo — the best. Wow, This is also my hubby’s favorite. He, and I, though this was the best one out of the box I brought home. (Yes, I brought home a box one day, I ruined my one cupcake a week diet)
They also have day old cupcakes for half price (still super tasty), had a few of them.
Also get a cupcake stampy card so you get a free cupcake after you buy twelve. I have forgot to bring mine in half the time, yet it is still almost full. But, that is beside the point.
I guess they have a vegan section that I don’t really shop at.
And they serve coffee.
I am loving this place! I will continue to stop by once a week and try a new cupcake each time. Even with all the ones I listed, there is always new cupcakes that I had never seen before. I don’t know if I will be able to eat one of each kind, but I am going to try my hardest.

Bless these fine folks for being aware that gluten-​intolerant/​celiac folks like myself like a fine cupcake. Seriously. Bless them. Keep making them. Make more, in fact!
The selection of GF goodies when I’ve gone (3 times now) has been small — cupcakes in a few flavors, the all-​day cookies (a misnomer — they don’t last all day), and sugar cookies. But delish!!!
My husband is allergic to nothing and eats everything, is highly suspicious of anything labeled ‘vegan’, and grabbed a Boston cream cupcake for himself last time he was in buying me goodies, and LOVED it.
Warning — the hours posted here appear to be wrong, unless they’ve changed them in the last 2 – 3 weeks — I believe they don’t open until 11am.
Keep on keeping on! And how about an outlet in Holladay? Please?

I like this place. The best factor here is their grocery section. Stuff us vegans can typically only find online. like vegan marshmallows and other baking goods.
You can get a cupcake, pizza roll and a yummy stick of animal friendly jerky for a quick lunch. They have iced coffee last I checked, not sure if they have any hot brewed coffee. but they definitely didn’t have an espresso bar.
The place is cute and quaint. Never busy.
They do have a bit of the ‘in your face’ vegan propaganda on display… but that’s to be expected, I guess.
Go here and support your local, animal friendly, eco-​sensitive, female owned bakery.
DO IT!

Everything here is vegan, with many gluten-​free options also. But we didn’t know that when we first wandered in off the street– we were just lured in by the image of a cupcake on the sign. Once we saw that this was a vegan bakery, we were curious to see how the taste compared with standard cupcakes.
I think vegan people would go nuts for these because the taste does approximate regular cupcakes, which I have eaten A LOT of. Some of the richness is missing, but the texture of the chocolate cake I got was very good; the raspberry icing tasted like raspberry, as it should.
Besides cupcakes, I saw cookies, chocolates, vegan «dillos» (basically Twinkies) and a savory «pizza roll». There was also a separate refrigerator stocked with vegan substitute cheese, cream cheese, etc. If you care to eat in the store, you are welcome to peruse the selection of vegan «propaganda» (for lack of a better word) available on a bookshelf. I think this is a very unique place for SLC, and a vegan’s dream come true.

Holy crap! I had walked by this place like ten times, they need a bigger sign! I finally read about it online and realized where it was and that I should go there. It is conveniently close to the train stop so if you miss your train, stop in and get a snack!
I have tried a couple of things but the monster cookie sandwich is great! All of the treats are vegan and some are even gluten free, it rules!!! The Peanut butter chocolate cupcake was like heaven in my freaking mouth.
I now have to restrain myself while waiting for the bus in front of their business because I am so tempted to go in and get a treat to go or to eat right away. They also have a free wifi if you want to eat your treat and do some homework in their quiet bakery, I dig it. I will be back!

Cakewalk is a great company that provides some of the yummiest vegan treats from cupcakes, dillos, sugar cookies and pizza rolls. They are also a grocer for those who want to purchase their own vegan goodness and make whatever their heart desires at home.
For me, Cakewalk is somewhere I will go when I decide its time for me to treat myself to some sugar. I will walk in, try something new and take it to go. Cakewalk offers online orders, delivery, etc… With my most recent experience, I won’t be doing anymore special online orders with them.
I ordered their Valentines box set filled with an assortment of dillo’s, a cupcake, sugar cookie and other yumminess for my boyfriend for Vday. There was an option to get an inscription on the cookie and I chose «I adore you butthole xoxo». I was super bummed to open my order on the 13^th and it looked like everything had been thrown into a red bag and there was no inscription on anything. The treats look and I’m sure taste amazing but maybe stopping in store is a better idea!
