If the Grim Reaper came to me with his scythe in one hand and a chantilly cupcake from Cake Fetish in the other hand, and he said to me, "If you bite of this chantilly, you will come with me forever," I would seriously have to sit and think about it. The lightness of the cream topping, the moistness of the cake with the fresh fruit on top. It's...almost worth dying for. read more

I was in a hurry to pick up a cupcake for a birthday last week and popped in here. Choices were limited so I bought a Chantilly Cream. Tiniest cupcake ever for almost $4. I commented layer on their FB page. They sent me a private message saying ,"Unfortunately, we can't please everyone." I support local business but there are lots of other good bakeries to buy from! read more

I hate to say it, but this place is a complete turn off. I love cupcakes and cakes, but this place was really just a let down. The cake was so dry and crumbly, that I could barely eat it. They have only a dozen or so flavors and they weren't really anything creative. My wife made the mistake of ordering a cake from here for a friend and they really were so disappointed with it. Again, it was dry and very flavorless. The frosting tasted like it was store bought and the designs were mediocre at best. I am really disappointed in this place. And almost everyone I've talked to that has eaten here has said that the cake is dry and the cupcakes are hard to eat because they crumble so easily. DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. If you want even a remotely good experience, go any place else really. read more

Very fresh. You can taste the Quality in the cakes. Variety was not that big which made my impression not so wowed. But the overall taste was amazing but the presentation could be more detailed read more

This bakery is amazing! Their customer service is great and they make some pretty creative stuff!

So sorry but this place did not live up to my expectations at all. I did not find the bakery to be especially attractive nor did the cupcakes look very enticing in the display cases. Nor were the cupcakes finely decorated (I have seen gorgeous work done on cupcakes). And then there was the flavor and texture of the product. I have to say I was not pleased at all with either. I wanted to be totally tempted but wound up grateful to have ordered fewer than I originally thought I would have liked to purchase so, alas, we had fewer to get rid of. Needless to say, I would not return. read more

Soooo delicious!!!! If you get a half dozen cupcakes they put a birthday candle and ribbon on your box!!! All my January bdays have been more than pleased with their fantastic cupcakes!!! read more

Really good cupcakes! Nice and generous frosting as well as a decent sized, very moist cake. They have all the traditional flavors plus some fancier creations. In the shop they have a few tables where you can sit and enjoy your cupcake, some coffee and the company of a few friends. Also, there are some parking spaces right outside the store. read more

It's unfortunate to see that Cake Fetish has an overall review of "three stars." This is mostly due to comments made when the company was under different management. Cake Fetish has new owners and it shows. The cupcakes are out of this world and the employees are never anything less than pleasant. They pay attention to detail and use high quality ingredients. I regularly purchase cupcakes and cakes for birthdays at my workplace. My orders are always on time and the cakes are always beautiful and fresh. The employees are professional and personable. Every time I come in, I witness the employees engage with customers in a way that demonstrates that Cake Fetish is a polished business. I was in there today and overheard a man tell an employee how much his wife loved the "elegant and incredibly delicious" birthday cake. I also saw a couple customers who appeared to be regulars come by and engage in friendly conversation with the working personnel. The Albuquerque community is lucky to have an establishment like Cake Fetish. I can't imagine why anyone would choose to take their business elsewhere. My coworkers used to purchase the company birthday cakes at Costco until I introduced them to Cake Fetish. Now, it's never a question. Cake Fetish always "takes the cake." read more

After experiencing Sprinkles in Newport Beach and The Cupcakery in Las Vegas this place does not live up to the gourmet cupcake standard. I probably should have went in and tried a few before ordering a party platter of cupcakes for $40 (shame on me). For the quality of cupcakes, they were overpriced. The cupcakes were average sized and just had plain pink frosting on them with crystal sprinkles on top - I could've made these myself! read more

This is an amazing centrally located cupcake shop. They have delicious flavors and pretty decorations. The shop is located in a tiny strip mall not far from all the goodness that is ABQ Uptown and Coronado Mall. The parking is TIGHT! I wouldn't bring your full size pickup. But.... it's worth fighting for a spot. This is a locally owned bakery with seasonal delights that are straight up 505 legit.... like sopapilla cupcakes?! WHAAAAA? Yes, delicious! The selections varies seasonally so you will get a chance to find something new with each visit. They also have a small selections of allergen free cupcakes. Worth the visit! Go, enjoy! read more

I was less than impressed. Cupcake was small (especially for the cost), dry, semi burnt, center had sunk in, third grader could've decorated it more creatively, and the icing was lacking in flavor. Plus the selection was simply uninspired. And to top it off, service was terrible and the girl behind the counter seemed bored out of her mind. Ain't that the icing on this crappy cake? I've heard this place talked up -- and perhaps that was why I was so disappointed. Probably will not come here again. read more

This place is considered the best cupcake bakery in Albuquerque and while they are not bad, they are certainly not the best I've ever had. I guess a positive is that their cakes are not too sweet and the frosting is of a reasonable amount. The cupcakes look colorful and very presentable, but the cake is on the dry side and rather pedestrian. Bringing these cupcakes to a party will make a great impression, looks wise. read more

I'm really impressed with the changes that have been made by the new management. This place is just down the street from my new office. They were able to put together a delicious assortment for our office party last minute. The cupcakes were a huge hit and I have a feeling they just won over a few new customers. read more

I haven't been in to Cake Fetish for awhile until today. We usually buy the dozen mini cupcakes and those were as expected - BUT the regular cupcakes were noticeably smaller. Probably about a 1/2" shorter? I hope that their prices adjusted accordingly, but I doubt it. We visit "Small Cakes" off of Paseo del Norte sometimes and their cupcakes are taller than the average cupcake. What is up at Cake Fetish? read more

Loved the red velvet cupcake and the inside outside German chocolate cupcake. I'm sure everything there is fantastic.

I saw a review of this in an airline magazine last year so when I visited, I had to check it out. I bought 5 different cupcakes - the Peanut Butter Cup, the Inside Out German Chocolate Cake, the Half Baked, the PB & J and the Love Monkey. The best one was definitely the Half Baked. Since then I have tried a bunch of the other flavors (my friend who lives there always brings an assortment when she comes to visit.). Standouts are the Velvet Elvis and Margarita Madness. We tend to get the mini cupcakes so that you can have more than one. read more

My husband and I used Cake Fetish for our wedding cake and was over the moon with their service and food! We had originally not wanted a cake, as we assumed it was out of our price range. We scheduled a tasting, for fun, and learned we could not only afford a cake, but it was SO delicious and the decorating was beautiful (and included in the price)! Our guests loves the cake, and we did as well. The tasting was so much fun! Thank you! read more

Amazing cupcakes - literally perfect - every single time! Keto cheesecake brownies are amaze balls!!

Pretty good cupcakes (not what is used to be a few years ago). I preferred the old montano plaza location. They have awful hours and the cupcake selection has been greatly reduced (approximately 6 flavors daily). The tables are full of crumbs and are never wiped down. Baker was leaning over and scooping flour out of a container that was just sitting in the ground...no hair nets. Too pricy. read more

I gave Cake Fetish two chances, and it didn't come out on top. On my first visit I stopped at Cake Fetish right before they closed, then went out for several hours with my "Drama Queen" cupcake baking in the hot car. And so by the time I ate it, the frosting looked a little runny and sad, but the cake had a good dark chocolate flavor. But it was only good, not great - the cake was a bit dry, and due to the heat the frosting was a bit melty (although that was my own doing), and I get the feeling that the cupcake was actually better warm (or room temperature) than it was right out of the refrigerated case. So I decided I needed to give Cake Fetish a fair shake by eating the cupcakes at room temperature without baking the in a hot car first. On my second visit I bought "Velvet Elvis" (red velvet cupcake) and Boston creme, and neither was all that great. The red velvet was only so-so - nothing impressive - and the Boston creme reminded me of a Dunkin Donuts donut. And although I do love Dunkin Donuts and don't have them in SoCal, I would have gone to DD if I wanted a donut! read more

Don't even bother cakes are dry, frosting is good but there is way too much on top so it cancels out how good it is. The flavors have been the same for awhile so there is nothing new, I have been here several times and there are better places to go in ABQ. Save your money. read more

Cake Fetish made my wedding cake exactly as I envisioned... and it was AMAZING! These folks do what they love, and they do it well. Best cakes in the world!! I highly recommend. read more

Amazing cakes. Love the variety. Simply put, they do cup cakes and they do them really well.

There are some serious jewels at cake fetish - when discussing their cupcakes. My personal favorite is the Lemon one, I think it's called Pucker Up. Now in terms of their cakes, they are vile. You can expect about 3 inches of fondant, by the time you pick off the fondant and get to the actual cake its abysmal at best. On another note, don't expect anything in the way of customer service. I had scheduled a cake tasting and called every day for a week to no avail. I ended up going with another baker. read more

We are longtime devotees of Cake Fetish, so it was a no-brainer to have them do our wedding cake! First off, they were incredibly accommodating--we weren't able to be at the shop on the day they usually do cake tastings, so they arranged for a take-home tasting for us. The decision was surprisingly easy, and we settled on a banana cake with honey buttercream and a Bavarian cream filling. The cake looked more or less like the simple design we provided, with red, orange and white sugar pearls, but most importantly, it was FABULOUSLY delicious. We got rave reviews for the rest of the night, even from those folks who claimed not to like cake or sweets! It was a perfect cake and a delicious dessert. Thank you Cake Fetish! read more

I got a gift certificate for this place so I decided to get my mom a dozen cupcakes and a jumbo cupcake for her birthday party. Wow I was honestly so impressed. I ordered three kinds of the daily cupcakes (the Chantilly, cookies and cream, and Hostess with the Mostest). My personal favorite was the Chantilly! I usually hate buttercream, but wow they have something special. The cupcake was so light and moist and the frosting was WOW! I also tried the cookies and cream and that was also good, but nothing was better than the Chantilly! For the jumbo cupcake, I ordered a chocolate cake, with cherry filling, and covered with chocolate ganache and glitter and pearl sprinkles. My mom absolutely fell in love with that cupcake! I tried it and it was super tasty! The cupcakes are expensive, but they are in my opinion the best in town! read more

If you are looking for home made yummy treats this is your place. The people I have met there are quite friendly ! The treats are super yummy to boot! The cupcakes are moist with the right amount of sweetness and amount of frosting. The 'royale' cookies are the same. It is made of macadamia nut, coconuts and chocolate chip and oh so scrumptous! read more

At $3 a cupcake for single servings. They are actually really tasty. You gain six cavities with each bite, but it is a great treat for every once in a while. read more

Our family has tried to come back several times a year with multiple cake orders. We love to support local businesses. We love that this place is multi-generations under one roof. We have had a 50/50 chance however of encountering a rather uninspired blond young gal. She is very unlikely to answer questions thoroughly, does not really understand that she represents the business when she steps up behind the counter to take orders. Often treats customers as if we are bothering her. I recognize that this is a contrasting opinion on SERVICE to the earlier review, but I thought it might be useful to add. read more

My favorite cupcake and cake shop in the city! Not only is the staff incredibly helpful and welcoming, but their icing is AMAZING! My favorite is the champagne cupcake but they're all really good. Definitely a repeat customer read more

Cake Fetish gave me the wrong cake on my WEDDING day and not only did not offer to fix it told but told me I was the one that was wrong! The cake coordinator told me that it would look very similar to a picture that She showed me and it looked nothing like it! First off it was the wrong color (apparently my fault) and then I was told that our initials would look as if they were carved into a tree, they were not, they were simply written with icing on top of the tree, raised up not carved in, I am assuming this was my fault also. They did nothing to fix it I will never recommend cake fetish to anyone! When I spoke to the owner she told me "it looked good to me." Very unprofessional if you ask me. I could have went (and apparently should have) with a less expensive cake company but I put trust in Cake Fetish for my special day and they failed. read more

Cake Fetish - The initials are different because the first picture is an example of what I thought I was getting. The second is what I got! - Desserts Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Everywhere I go I test out cupcakes if I can so when I was in Albuqerque I was excited to try Cake Fetish. All the flavors and fun names were what drew me in. Unfortunetley, that's where it ends. First of all, the lady who works the counter was not friendly at all. I was the only customer in there and I tried to make small talk and she pretty much ignored me. Fine, at least I was going to eat a delicous chocolate cupcake I thought. Bitting into this cupcake was such a huge disappointment. The cake was cold and dry like it had been in the fridge for a few days and the frosting was thick and not a lot of flavor. I was hoping for more creaminess and sweet soft frosting. Needless to say, this is not the place to go for somones birthday cupcakes or fufill your cupcake craving. Albertson's makes better ones. read more

we tried these because my sister in law bakes and was visiting our town. they tasted alright, we were underwhelmed but the service was wonderful and the shop is so adorable! read more

LOVE! The employees are always so nice. I've been here 3 or 4 times now and my favorite cupcake is the Mudslide.....YUM! My son BEGS me to stop on the way home from school. So good! They even have dog treats called 'Pupcakes"! LOVE! read more

Just picked up some excellent cupcakes for a bachelorette party! They look amazing!!! Taylor was creative and helpful and was able to help even though I just ordered them just yesterday... Even some gluten free ones! Thank you sooo much Cake Fetish!! read more

These cupcakes are moist, made to perfection, & the balance of sweetness isn't too overwhelming either. I really love 'the Duchess' cupcake -- it's Earl Grey & white chocolate mixed into 1 to create a deliciously great cupcake. read more

I've never really been to a cupcake bakery before, but this place really made me a believer. I had a raspberry and chocolate cupcake around 3:30 after a really tough day. That little pastry really perked me up and I enjoyed the service that I received. I really hope to come here more often in the future. It's a bit expensive, but I really do think that getting a dozen here will be a good idea. The next birthday party I throw will definitely have cupcakes from here. read more

Much better than I expected based on the reviews. I got the half-baked (plenty left at 3pm) and was faced with a dilemma. The cake? Yummy. Moist and flavorful. The half-baked cookie dough inside filling? Oh my goodness, I love cookie dough. The icing? Oh. My. God, the icing. Not over the top sweet, but PERFECTLY sweet--smooth and creamy, a nice hint of vanilla and sprinkled with chocolate chips. My dilemma? I save the best part for last, and couldn't figure out what the best part was. Hmmmn....might have to go get another to figure it out. read more

We came here for a cake tasting and Molly was an absolute charm! Very pleasant and personable, the problem was their cake wasn't good. We tried about 10-12 and only 1 tasted ok. Big disappointment. Presentation was good, they have iPad minis with a gallery of their cakes, and they looked beautiful but we wanted a cake that taste good too :-/ have our cake and eat it :-P read more
