Wanted a small wedding cake-like creation for our 49th anniversary. They were so hard to work with. "You'll have to order it on-line and include a picture of what you want it to look like." I told them I just wanted something cute that would serve 20 people. Her reply with a big frown on her face. "I told you it's our policy you must order it on-line and include a picture." I walked out and went to "Cakes a blooming". They were so easy to work with. read more

The best place in Lansing, and perhaps all of Ingham County for your dessert needs! The desserts always taste just as good as they look and so much time and effort appears to go into the items they offer! The atmosphere is just as inviting as the staff and you could spend all day in there just looking at the options and taking in the smells! Definitely come here if you need a professional level cake made! Meijer bakery who? read more

This was absolutely fantastic! The person that helped me worked with me on the bounds of what I could make, they were realistic about some crazy design ideas I had , but it came across that they wanted me to get something I'd love . Thank you guys so much for making this birthday so memorable! Absolutely 5/5 read more

After being a local customer for decades I'm done giving this business my business. Their customer service on (2/14/2026 2:30 pm) was epic failure from beyond rude to complete disrespectful. NEVER AGAIN WILL CAKES & BAKE get my families business read more

DO NOT BUY CUSTOM CAKE FROM BAKE N' CAKES!!!! cake decorators are awful; they cannot follow a simple pattern or direction. Sent multiple inspiration photos and the cake I received was not up to the standard i would expect from a professional cake decorator. The color was asked to be a sage green and it was a neon green; even when picking from a list of color samples they cannot match colors correctly when asked. I asked for the cake to say congrats and they put "congratulations" which overcrowded the cake. I asked for specific piping on the side of the cake, which they did not do. Additionally, I was told that if there were any issues at pick up, they would be able to be fixed upon pick up; but when asked to fix the awful attempt at the design i wanted, they were unable to fix any mistakes. When asked for a partial refund or extra frosting to fix the design, at home, I was told they will throw the cake away. Staff is unpleasant, unprofessional, and cannot help with any changes wanted to anything preordered and designed. Was unable to speak to the manager as they refused to fix any issues or speak to me, only relayed information through another employee. Would rate this negative stars if i could, if walmart had any cakes available, I would have gotten my refund and bought a cake from walmart, however since it was graduation weekend, there were no available cakes anywhere else on the weekend. We were charged $90 for a cake that had an awful attempt to a design, as well as it tasted dry, with thick, artificial tasting frosting. DO NOT BUY CAKE FROM HERE!!! read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED with this cake decorating service!!!!! The cake I received was extremely unfinished and I payed a ton of money for it. The words were not centered There was not a single decoration on the top other than small words in the lower corner of the cake. Nothing about it looked right. When I brought this to their attention, I was told my next cake would be on them as they did not have any decorators available to fix it. However, when I later called to order another cake, they said they would not honor the free cake they had promised. This was frustrating and unprofessional. Based on my experience, I would not return or recommend. read more

Great find! The "Dream" cakes are a fantastic surprise. A layer of cheese cake and a layer of cake= Yum Yum The mint chip cupcakes are better than that place in NYC that people line up. And the staff is perfectly knowledgeable of all their products. This is a mandatory stop every time I am nearby. read more

I had heard good things about this place and decided to use them to make a cake for a military retirement party. I showed them a picture of what I was hoping for. While I don't expect it to be exact, their attempt at replicating the cake was pathetic. It looked like it had been done by a 5 year old. Before I even picked up my cake I had called a couple days before asking if I could change the time of pick up to an hour or so earlier than originally planned. The employee I spoke to said no problem and that she had updated it. When I go to pick it up, they said it wasn't ready yet and there was no record of the pick up time having been changed. Then when I finally got the cake...it just looked pathetic. The lines on the flag were mismatched in size and crooked. The rank was supposed to be MSgt and they put Master MSgt and then put the dates on the same line as the name when it was supposed to be on 2 lines. The edible paper they put on it was literally just laid on top with no attempt to blend into the frosting to make it look seamless. The cake at least tasted good so we just cut it up without having it out for display....so if you want a basic sheet cake and aren't worried about what it looks like, then this your place. But if you're trying to get a professionally decorated cake for a formal event...then I def don't recommend Bake-n-Cakes read more

HIGHLY disappointed with their service. I called and asked for a birthday cake for my daughters first birthday and she unfortunately has an egg allergy and needed a cake made with out eggs which is not a big ask as there are many egg substitutes. They told me they are not able to do any substitutes despite her being literally allergic. Absolutely ridiculous and I don't understand how that makes sense ! They are not very accommodating to allergies and just very disappointed . read more

This bakery was awesome! Would use them again in a heartbeat. Not only did it look perfect, but the cake was delicious!We couldn't have been happier. Highly recommended! read more

Stopped in to get a dream cake for my mother's birthday! The service was out of this world wonderful, although they were obviously very busy they were able to write happy birthday mom on my cake even though I just stopped in without an appointment! The cake was absolutely to die for! And they made me feel so special. I will return for any and all cake needs! Thank you for the team today at around noon on 5/2/25! read more

I've been going to bakes n cakes since I was married in 1990 where I bought my wedding cake. Last week I bought two eclairs, not one bit of cream in them. I returned them in their own box and they would have to conduct a research of receipts in order to issue a credit while I waited since I paid cash. I would have taken good ones but there weren't any available. Their own eclairs in front of their eyes and they have extensive paperwork to do before they can make it right? I simply quit going to places that are like this now, and sadly there are so many. Bye bye bakes n cakes, it was good while it lasted. You could have had me with a couple cookies in exchange. There are ways you know.... read more

Do NOT rely on Bake N'Cakes for anything important. They are unprofessional, do not answer the phone, then act like it's your fault when their mistake means you order won't be ready on time! They TOLD me I should go to Kroger or Meijer if I want reliable service so I guess you should too! read more

this was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. My mother had ordered a birthday cake and was trying to surprise me. Therefore, she had my boyfriend pick it up to her surprise. Both the cake and cupcake orders were completed wrong. I personally took back both to the store on my own birthday and tried to work it out with who I was told was the manager Mara. I was met with extreme disrespect, and she was honestly just quite rude. I politely asked if they would just fix the grammar that was done wrong on the cake, as the happy birthday statement was not grammatically correct. She refused to help me when I asked if I could buy icing and fix it myself she said she was not going to help me not only was she unwilling to help she didn't want to. This is a person who really doesn't like their job and does not care about their customers. Do yourself a favor and go to Kroger instead. read more

Hard Luck Chuck Got a birthday cake decorated for my 90 year old neighbor. It's a good thing she mentioned that her sense of taste had almost completely left her as she had grown older. The cake was terrible. It was dry with extremely sweet frosting and no flavor. I guess when they say "it's the thought that counts" was the only thing that the rest of the family must have thought of me. If I was going to get something to compete with this bakery, I'd try a vending machine at the local gas station. read more

Food had bits of mold in it! Mara was incredibly rude and difficult! Service was slow and things were overpriced! Staff say that don't get tips! Overall horrible! read more

We ordered 2 cheesecakes and 1 sheet cake for a very special party in June. Mya was very helpful and went over and above in making the cakes special for this event. Our guests raved about the cakes. I just ordered a sheet cake for another party this weekend. read more

I always have a fabulous experience at Bake N Cakes! The staff is extremely friendly and the treats I buy for family and friends are always the hit of the party! I highly recommend; not only do the treats look beautiful but they taste amazing too! read more

Communication is non-exist, have been trying to order a wedding cake for over 2 months. They don't respond to e-mails in a timely manner, it takes 2-3 weeks to get a response to a question. Ended up being too much of a hassle, went elsewhere. read more

My husband bought me a cheesecake from here for my bday and I have to say it was the most disgusting facsimile of a cheesecake I ever tasted. It was not only chewy but it tasted stale. This was such a disappointment because this bakery use to have really tasty treats!! WHAT HAPPENED. I don't think even a trash panda would eat this!!!! If this is an example of the food they are producing run not walk on out of there‼‼‼‼ read more

I was shocked to see they only have 2.3 stars on here. We've been using Bake N' Cakes for years. We've bought their cakes for kids birthdays, we buy gourmet cupcakes at every birthday, we just purchased brownies, a German chocolate cake and a carrot cake for a party and they all tasted AMAZING. Also, something I only recently learned, they sell cards for $1.00'ish. Instead of spending $6 on a card, I can give a card AND a delicious cupcake, which is SO MUCH BETTER, right? The staff is incredibly friendly and we have had great experiences here year after year. Also, they have great hours. I can stop in before work or after work and they are open. It's conveniently located just off the highway and I highly recommend them when you have a sweet tooth! read more

Me and my wife just ate two of the worst lemon blueberry muffins I have ever had, upon purchasing them the person at the counter said that the person who baked them was not there and she wasn't even sure exactly what kind of muffins they were. They were extremely moist to the point where you could just called them wet and the blueberries tasted awful like they were canned blueberries that expired all their flavor. We also had two cinnamon rolls that really weren't so great themselves but the lemon blueberry muffins were really bad read more

I called in to order a cake for a baby shower. It was very easy and helpful communicating with the lady through the phone which I assumed was the owner. The cake that I got looked nice, exactly how I imagined it to be and tasted good. Everyone at the party enjoyed it. This is my first time purchasing a cake from this bakery and I would definitely come back for another occasion! read more

Disappointed. Ordered a cake for my son's 1st birthday cake smash photoshoot. I gave them a picture of what I wanted was VERY simple. What they gave me was so sloppy. Thick uneven fondant like a kid was playing with playdoh and just slapped it on. Also, they didn't leave enough time before the pick-up time for it to chill so it slid in the box in the car. I had to fix it myself. Incredibly overpriced. I could've done WAY better myself. I don't have enough time to get something else so I'm stuck with it. Hopefully it will look ok in the photos. Lesson learned... read more

Wow! I guess I should have read the reviews before ordering a cake from them. I ordered half red velvet half cheesecake. She asked me if I wanted anything written on it. with "Happy Birthday" Matt" in blue on it. It turns out they put pink frosting all over it too. They never told me it would be pink. When I went to pick it up it was pink! When I pointed it out the woman told me it was red frosting. She asked if I had looked online to see what the cake would look like. I said no I ordered it in the store. I would think good customer service would have included the order taker to inform me that it would have pink frosting on it especially when o asked for blue lettering. I directed her to the heart shaped sugar cookies where there half of the cookies had red frosting and the other half had pink frosting on them and asked her which one most closely resembled the frosting on my cake. Hint it wasn't the cookie with red frosting. Horrible customer service to boot. They told me they couldn't fix it and said I could come back tomorrow. Glaring problem was I needed the cake for the day I picked up the cake. They finally admitted it wasn't re frosting and the decorator most likely didn't put enough red dye in the frosting. You think! I will never go back to this place and recommend everyone avoid it too. read more

ABSOLUTELY BLEW IT Ordered a cake for Anniversary in person. Showed up to get it at the time they stated. They claimed it was ordered for a week later. I'm pretty sure I know when my anniversary is. Staff could care less and offered no remorse or sorrow at all. Will never buy from here EVER again. Have ordered twice over the years and both times was very disappointed, Never AGAIN read more

Stopped in for a pumpkin pie. Awful. Upon opening the box I could tell that the nutmeg was heavy-handed, but everything smells overly pumpkin-spiced this time of year. I cut into the pie and it was an unappealing gooey smear, first red flag. I could not bare to have pumpkin pie ruined for me this early, so I let two 4yr olds and a baby take the hit. Kids always bounce back for desserts. The look of disdain on their faces, priceless. I had to try it--how bad could it be...it's mostly pumpkin! Welp, it can be bad. Super bitter from too much nutmeg, and the consistency, nope. Of the confections they excel at, this is not the one. read more

I have been a customer for some time and highly recommend the cakes. Not the cupcakes, cookies or other items, just the cakes. We've had the other items and although they weren't bad, they weren't usually anything to write home about. A long long time ago I had a dry cupcake. Never have I had a bad tasting cake. Its a great spot to do last minute. I had one memorable pre-ordered cake 9 years ago where I paid extra for jungle decor on the cake. The party participants were impressed. That said, it was all frosting and not one of the fancy fondant that some places use nowadays. They always have seasonally decorated cakes ready for purchase. The last one i got for my sons birthday, the friends that had some were very impressed. Highly recommend for your buttercream frosting cakes! read more

Very difficult communication. I was interested in possibly having them do my wedding cake. I stopped in last fall and the lady at the counter was very inconvenienced when I asked her for info. They do not have pictures of cakes they've done, and for several months, they've been saying they're working on their web site. I stopped in again recently and was given instructions to email many details as well as pictures of what I was looking for. It took over a week for someone to even acknowledge the email. Clearly not a priority so I took my business elsewhere. read more

My niece is turning 5 and my mom decided to get her a Shopkins cake. Because the 3 tier cake was $1600 (yeah right, who'd pay for any cake at that price?), she got a sheet cake to feed the 25 guests. The cake is only 8×11... The image my mother gave was not even centered. My niece's name is not written on the top, but they put it on the side where no one would even see. The shell border was uneven and it covered part of the word in the image. Paid $70 for something I could have made instead with a Betty Crocker box mix. Take your business elsewhere unless you like crappy cakes. read more

I am very disappointed with Bake and Cakes. My family and I walk in to do a cake tasting for a wedding cake after my mother-in-law called ahead and was told that walk-ins were okay. We ask about it and get told we have to order and buy something first before we can cake taste. The woman we talked to, Mariah, was also very rude and gave short answers to any questions we had but otherwise acted as if she would rather be doing something better. I will never come back and give this place my business, and I will make sure to steer everyone away because of how poorly you get treated. read more

Having a bridal shower, wanted to have something special versus a typical sheet cake from Sam's Club, so my mom suggested Bake N Cakes. We see their commercials all the times for great cakes and decorating, so were more than willing to drive to Lansing from Jackson (about half an hour) to get one of their cakes. To sum it up in a word DISAPPOINTED. After explaining a simple design on the phone to an associate who seemed just too bothered to even take my call or offer any assistance, we ended up with a cake that, who my friend put so eloquently, looked like "Are you kidding me? They charged you 70 dollars for something that I could have done with both hands tied behind my back and blindfolded?!?" She hit the nail on the head. It was PITIFUL. Crooked, uneven lettering, wrong color piping on the outsides, didn't follow simple instructions (this could have been the order takers' fault, though). When my mom picked up the cake, and asked to speak with the decorator, she was unwilling. (I would have been too, it was embarrassing.) Returning home with the cake and showing it to me, I had no choice but to laugh, because what am I going to do now, be mad? I'm sure not taking it back to the people who can't do it right the first time, So, I find a cake decorator here in town, and pay a premium. After spending 60 dollars to have a REAL decorator wipe the frosting from the cake and redo the entire thing, I now have a presentable cake. Advice? go to Sam's Club. Bake N Cakes, if you'd like to be a reputable business, feel free to contact me to rectify this. read more

Went here just yesterday to inquire about a birthday cake for my sisters upcoming 50th. Their selection from the cake books is somewhat lacking and uninspiring. When I saw the price of a quarter sheet cake starting at 37 dollars just for the cake and additional for decorating I about fell over. I actually know how to decorate cakes as my mom used to be a cake decorator many years ago at Kwast Bakeries in Lansing so I said "ya know what I will just fit in the time to make and decorate one myself and it won't cost me a fortune either. I have most of the ingredients in my cupboards already". The cake that we were thinking of was 37 for just the cake and an additional 30+ dollars for the decorating. Really almost 70 dollars for a quarter sheet cake. I am surprised with these prices that they are still in business. Don't waste your time... read more

Since there are so many reviews on here about poor customer service, I wanted to provide a review on the customer service specifically. I ordered a torte last night for delivery. The woman on the phone provided FANTASTIC customer service! She was very friendly, helpful, informative, and patient. She was very thorough and went over every detail. I just can't say enough about how pleasantly surprised and satisfied I was. I will update this review about the quality of the product after the torte is delivered. UPDATE: The delivery arrived on time and special instructions were followed very well. Recipient loved the torte! Will definitely bring my business here again! read more
