    Masala Chai
    Janine L.

    This was my first afternoon tea experience, and I absolutely loved it! The interior is super cute and very warm and inviting. Steph served us, and she was kind, friendly, and attentive to us. The masala chai and jasmine green tea were delicious, and we were offered sugar cubes and oat milk with it. The assortment of sweet treats and savory bites were amazing. My favorite was the strawberry pavlova! I ended up purchasing more of it to take home.

    UVA 4inch party cake
    Heidi K.

    So I purchased a 4inch UVA cake for my son. Let me start with the positive. I got the Golden Vanilla with Buttercream and it is absolutely delicious. I'm not an expert baker but (I think) this is French buttercream which I love. The vanilla cake had a amazing vanilla taste and while I do see why some would consider it dry, I find this true of most vanilla cakes unless the bakery brushes on simple syrup and I think it makes it too sweet. So cake and cake quality are 5/5 so why the 4/5? 2 reasons: price. For the 4 inch cake which says it feeds 2-3, for me I think this feeds 2 normal people. So that is 20 dollars per serving. I also paid extra for it to say Happy Birthday Anthony and from the picture you can see it doesn't. I assume it because it couldn't fit (it is such a small cake) but I didn't get a call to discuss if I still wanted the cancel the writing or if I was okay with substitution. I would have declined it since I didn't like it and just asked for the logo that was included. If it was free or the cake itself wasn't 40 dollars, again, I wouldn't have an issue but with what I'm paying for cake and paying extra for the writing, it was disappointing.

    Since I can't respond directly to the owner, here it is. Duncan Hines was just an example that I have stayed away from for years. I love good dessert, not below average. Yes, that is subjective, just like everything in life pretty much about food. Your cake was as dry as the dessert. Plus ignoring customers who are standing there waiting to be served doesn't make you look good. We saw a person come, wait for a minute or two and leave, all without being greeted or served. Is that what you pride yourselves on? Honestly best of luck to you, hopefully this poor experience was just a one off but it was absolutely terrible.

    The storefront is super cute, and I love how the cakes are displayed and that they are in slice form. We ordered the $24 5 slice graduation deal, and got the Strawberry Belle, Rainbow Carrot, Golden Vanilla, Classic Chocolate, and Wahoo Stout. The lady who put together our cake slices was very friendly and accommodating. While all of the slices had good flavor, the cakes were all very dry. The only one that I really liked was the Strawberry Belle, which was pretty moist because it was soaked with some type of syrup, but parts of the cake that weren't soaked were dry. The Classic Chocolate was probably moister than the other three, but was still on the dry side, and the rest of the cakes were super dry, with the Golden Vanilla being the driest. I thought the frostings themselves tasted good for all the cakes. I was debating whether to give this place 3 or 4 stars, but ultimately decided on 4 stars because although the cakes were dry, I liked the flavors and how the slices were presented, and the shop was quite cute. I wouldn't be opposed to trying this place again in the future to see if it was just an off day, but it isn't a place I feel inclined to come back to.

    Cake Bloom is an aesthetic dessert shop on Main Street. Their desserts are very pretty and not too sweet, but are somewhat overpriced. The decor in the store is very pastel and has a very Instagram aesthetic. They also offer various knick-knacks for purchase. Street parking is available in front of the store but can be difficult to find.

    This charming shop not only sells beautiful desserts, but a variety of unique kitchenware, and gifts that will surely add to the radiance of a home. As the name suggests, they are known for their artisan cakes, sold in the form of small rectangular slices. Each slice presents as a work of art, almost too beautiful to dig a fork into. My friends and I shared the 5 slice sampler. Though the slices look small, we struggled to finish our portion. We chose to sample the lemon, carrot cake, golden vanilla, strawberry, and violet chocolate. The flavor of each slice was so unique and like no cake we had tried before. The cake itself was perfectly moist, slightly crumbly and light. Some of the slices had extra spices and mix-ins that elevated the flavors, packing distinct, yet light flavors into each bite. The Violet chocolate seemed to have actual flower mixed into the cake base and frosting. My favorites were the vanilla, the strawberry, and the lemon slices. The shop owner and baker was so sweet throughout the visit. We truly got the sense that she loves creating beautiful desserts that bring wonder and delight to others. Cake Bloom is a must-visit for cake lovers and dessert lovers alike! I promise you won't leave without a smile of bliss.

    Cake flight! Lady Gray, Floral Funfetti, Almond, Carrot, Chocolate, Vanilla, Citrus, Rhubarb
    Abby S.

    This is seriously one of the coolest places to open in Charlottesville in quite a while. I know the owners have been making cakes for a bit, but the physical space is an awesome place to visit, whether you're commissioning a cake for a special occasion or simply a fan of sweet treats! Everything we had was delicious, and we had EIGHT pieces of cake. The 8-cake flight is a steal, with 8 full slices for $40. Our favorites were the Seasonal Citrus (lemon and blueberry), the carrot cake, and the limited-time Lady Grey! Seriously - you have to go in this Spring to try that one. The tea-flavored cake pairs perfectly with lavendar/lemon filling and buttercream frosting. I would eat this cake every day if I could. And the carrot is a classic, updated with delicious salted caramel frosting. But Cake Bloom is not just a cake bar, it's a "bubbles bar" as well. There were so many champagne options we were a bit overwhelmed, but the staff was very helpful and assisted us in choosing an excellent bottle for a reasonable price. We also had a pot of great coffee, essential for a brunch of cake and champagne! The rest of the menu looks delicious too! I can't wait to go back for a cookie tray and a milk flight. I didn't get a chance to try the lunch menu either, but I have heard wonderful things. I will absolutely be going back, and you should stop by too!

    Cake Bloom is the best. Super friendly staff, and the food is insanely good. You can tell they really care.

    Scrappy hour x3
    Caroline F.

    I've come twice now--once for a slice of cake and once for scrappy hour. The golden vanilla cake with ginger cookies n cream frosting was my favorite. Super moist and flavorful. Chocolate hazelnut: also good, as expected. Carrot cake: nothing special here. EVOO cake: my "scrap" was dry; not sure if this was a fluke. Overall, I feel like the slices are a bit overpriced for what you get, and the quality varies. The shop itself is cute --fun for happy hour!

    Wine and cake pairing experience
    Ry L.

    I highly recommend the wine and cake pairing experience. Everything complemented each other perfectly. The cakes are high quality and quite creative. Just be careful about purchasing full bottles of wine. I paid about 2-3× as much for a bottle that would've cost less than $20 at Target.

    Shop in the front

    Came here from Richmond for afternoon tea with a girlfriend and it was well worth the drive. They only do afternoon tea on specific weekends but this experience has prompted me to find a date to return to try their cake and wine pairings. The tea snacks were so delightful and I especially loved this experimental grasshopper tart that is not currently on their menu but I hope will be added after today. The service was friendly and the space itself is so lovely with great natural light and a cute shop at the entrance. Highly recommend this place. Wish it was closer to Richmond.

    Cake - 2/5. Service. 5/5. Ambiance 5/5. Parking 4/5 I was very excited to try the cake, as the interior is super cute, and the place gets solid reviews. They were having graduation special where we could pick 5 slices for $24. Reasonable enough. The cake slices are very nicely and cleanly cut and reminds me of artisan soap, appearance wise.. The true test is flavor, and my family of four didn't even finish it. The best cake was the carrot (4/5), followed by the strawberry shortcake (3.5/5). Those are the only ones I took more than one bite of. The chocolate, stout, and the vanilla cakes were very dry (2/5 at best, especially the stout and vanilla). Perhaps it was because it was later in the day, but to be frank it tasted days old. I also think the frosting to cake ratio was very skimpy. Parking was a little bit of a challenge as it is on a busy road. We parked across the street at the Amtrak station, it was confusing if we were able to park there at all though. I would only return if I were with a group who wanted to do drink pairings. I have not had great luck finding solid dessert places in Charlottesville so my hunt continues.

    Cake Bloom is a cute cake shop to catch up with your gfs! You can have wine/champagne and have your cake too here :P They also have the cutest gifts and trinkets. The first time I stopped by was near when they were closing up shop so only a few flavors were left. The second time I came close to opening and had plenty of flavors to choose from. I like all the different flavor options but both times I visited the cake itself was dry...I was really hoping for a moist cake. The icing is good and the flavors themselves are tasty but the cake is too dry for me. A cute place to hang out and do a galentines (they had a tea set event going on!) though.

    Have you ever seen something online and thought... I gotta have that! That happened to me last…read moreweek. While relaxing and checking out The Gram, I came across an amazing looking cupcake. I'm an Oreo / Cookies and Cream addict. I've never met an Oreo I didn't like... Thin...Regular...Stuffed...Double Stuffed -- You name it, I've eaten it. Now...Imagine my suprise when I found out I could get them at the Farmer's Market 5 minutes from my house!! What?!?!? Of course, you know where I was on Saturday... At the Farmer's Market, checking out Totally Baked. Now let's talk cupcakes. We got half a dozen (yes, I shared). I'll review them as they are listed. Side note: The pictures DO NOT do them justice. If you want to see great pictures, check out her IG page @totallybakedcville -- 1) Cookies and Cream: Ya'll this cupcake had a legit Oreo baked into the cake! Chocolate cake with a light creamy icing. The icing had cookie cumbles and a minature Oreo on top. First bite was great! The mix of cream and cake was amazing. I got a hint of the Oreo in the middle, which made the second bite even better. The cake did a good job of holding up around the cookie. I was worried the cookie might become loose. Great start to the tasting. 2) Chocolate Cherry: I do enjoyed filled cupcakes. This chocolate cake had cherry on the inside of the cake. It was topped with a very light cherry flavored icing. The cherry inside helped keep the cake moist. Solid. 3) Lemon Blueberry: Ok, so this was my least favorite. It was good, don't get me wrong, just not my cup of tea. This was the "suck up" cupcake. I got it to "suck up" to my mother in law. She loves Lemon Blueberry. Again this white cake had blueberry in the middle, topped with a light icing and blueberries on top. Very good, but just not for me. 4) Pistachio: Ummmm.... I'll be honest, I rolled my eyes at first when my better half chose this one. BUT... It was my next favorite after Cookies and Cream. The cake was amazingly flavored. It has just enough of the pistachio flavor to keep me intriged, but sweet enough to keep me around. Paired with the pistachio icing and crumbles, this one is a hit! 5) Sweet and Salty: Solid white cupcake with what tasted like a maple glaze over the cupcake. Pretzel pieces were then placed on top of the icing and glaze. I love the texture the pretzel pieces give the cake. Exactly as it is described... Both salty and sweet! 6) Another Cookies and Cream... What?? You think I wouldn't get two?!? I wasn't sharing that one. Overall, I'm proud that my IG digging found them. I love they are close. They do caterings for any type of event. They even offer free delivery?!?! I mean, if they can't make it any easier. They are officially... on my list!

    What's the address? Can't find it in google. I just moved to the area and I'm looking for a good…read morecupcake bakery.
