    Chocolate cake.

    Must say this is a winner. if you haven't tasted these delicacies you must stop everything and go get yourself one. Our cake was for a school function and man-oh-man did we hit a home run. It was a piece of art (see pic). We ordered cup cakes but changed our order last minute and they adjusted our order - never complained or seemed frustrated with us - and they had every reason to be. Professional, super personable and great to deal with. We will keep coming back for more. Thanks for all your help. Seiza V.

    This place gets so much love from me after one visit! These cupcakes are now the best I've ever had! I heard about this bakery opening and wanted to check it out but being in Lexington, it wasn't very close. Anyways I ended up making a trip to Burlington mall so decided this could be an easy stop along the way. I drove up to the outside, a lovely large historic home, even with a porch with tables to eat at. Upon entering, I see the cupcake chef in the kitchen busy at work frosting some plump cupcakes and adding fresh strawberries. Then a turn to the right is the sale area with lots of cupcakes behind the counter waiting to be eaten. The prices are extremely reasonable. $2 for a large full size cupcake and .75cents for a mini. There was even a little menu describing each flavor, the vibe was similar to Sweet but not as expensive! The store had hardwoods floors, big windows and even a fireplace. There was a small table to eat inside. Now to brag about the cupcakes: I tried 6 mini's I took to-go, which is almost all the flavors and was not let down by any of them. We are talking a cupcake boutique here. Home made mix, real butter cream frosting and flavorings carefully selected. Not the mass produced crap with shortening frosting. Standouts for me were the Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, Strawberry shortcake, and Vanilla/Choc frosting. I saw a very nicely decorated cake in the case for someones birthday and joked that my birthday was coming so I should order a cake like that. Then the nice man gave me a cupcake on the house for my upcoming birthday. How sweet! I ate the strawberry shortcake one outside on the porch. Divine! Even my boyfriend who thinks my cupcake addiction is crazy said these were the best he's ever tried. The owner also does very cool cakes and has an album out of her work. Speaking to the man in the cake area, I think her husband, he talked about how they got the business started. What nice people. I encourage anyone to go here and have the best cupcakes or get a special occasion cake!

    This delicious confection was the talk of the baby shower... chocolate cake with raspberry filling and ombre buttercream and lusterdust. It was absolutely amazing! Thank you!

    I hate to break the solid 5 star rating, but I just wasn't as impressed with these cupcakes as everyone else seems to be. The shop had all of the things I look for in an awesome bakery: Charm - It is housed in an absolutely beautiful old Victorian. Character - It has an adorable logo and sign out front. Service - The man behind the counter was super friendly and accommodating. Selection - The cupcakes looked stunning in the case and there were a bunch to choose from. Price - At $2 a piece (or .75 cents for a mini) these cupcakes are very well priced. The only criteria I felt was lacking was Taste, and let me explain why. The red velvet cupcake was good, but it was totally overpowered by the heavy cream cheese frosting. I could barely taste the cake and had to remove most of the frosting to enjoy it. The carrot cake cupcake had delicious pineapple frosting, but the cake itself was dry. And finally, we come to the black tie cupcake - despite the tiny bit of boston cream inside, the cake was dry and crumbly and the rich chocolate frosting was delicious, but much too dense on top of this cupcake. Because I loved everything else about this place, I may give Cake another try to see if I simply chose the wrong flavors. But sadly, it would not be my go-to bakery for cupcakes.

    Edible art for my father's 70th Birthday.  A delicious chocolate cake with cherry butter cream filling and rice crispie cherries
    William S.

    Cake. Folks my father turned 70 this week. We celebrated last night and we had a surprise party planned. This is one of those moments where you just want everything to be just so and with that in mind for the perfect cake we turned to Michelle and Cake. My father loves chocolate cherries and that was the theme that developed, from the colors being red/chocolate brown on the invites and the balloons through to the cherry cordial favors. A few weeks ago we went to Michelle and with a vague idea bout wanting a cake that looked like a bowl of cherries and was a chocolate cake inside. Within a few minutes we had it all worked out, including the cherry butter cream filling with chopped cherries in it and all there was left to do was wait for the big day. Let me tell you that it was beautiful (I am uploading the picture). Not only was this a work of edible art, but it was as if it was plucked from my imagination and it was the most delicious cake I have ever eaten. From the dense yet moist chocolate cake, to the cherry butter cream filling to the rolled rice crispie treat fondant wrapped cherries on top - it was phenomenal. If you have that special occasion and you want everything to come out right and you need a cake then please save yourself one worry and visit Cake. !

    Awful. If Cake does work on their recipe, they should also invest in better cupcake liners.

    Have been craving for cupcakes for awhile and decided to give this place a try since we were already on Mass Ave. Bought an assortment of the regular cupcakes and the mini cupcakes. The minis were overpriced at $1 for the size of half my thumb. I was very disappointed with the quality of the cupcakes. The cakes themselves were very dry. Awful. But not as bad as the overly too-sweet lump of icing on top. The man that helped us was very nice though and threw in a free mini-cupcake. Too bad I didn't end up eating it.

    Birthday Cake from Cake August 2010
    Hansen L.

    My wife's cousin ordered a birthday cake from here last week. Great quality for $40. Ordered the minute man, strawberry filling. The decorations were done very well. The flowers were very detailed and the butter cream was very smooth. Cake tasted very good too. Cupcake were good and well priced. However, I still like Sprinkles cupcakes more. Then again, this is more than $1 cheaper then Sprinkles. I think the cupcakes would have been better if they were not refrigerated. They could work a bit on the customer service, being a bit more friendly. Parking might be a little difficult.

    Ok, but a little disappointing. It must be difficult running a business like this and building a…read morefollowing. I got inspired by watching youtube to make a jambon buerre sandwich - supposedly a popular quick sandwich for Parisians. The sandwich is half a baguette with butter and French bistro ham. I tried searching all over for the French bistro ham with no luck. The only options were online sources with expensive shipping and/or expensive minimum order sizes. Somehow I stumbled upon MA-France nearby in Arlington and they sell jambon-buerre sandwiches. It's a small shop that sells sandwiches, pastries, and a small offering of French food products. Lots of pastries and baked goods like quiche, tarts, cookies, croissants, etc. The cheese offerings were very limited and basic. I can imagine that the cheeses that they sell are the same types and brands that they use for making sandwiches. For example, they sell President brand Brie - that you can also buy at Costco and market basket. Disappointing, but understandable because they can't afford to buy more variety and more expensive offerings without a big enough client base to buy those cheeses before they go bad. Getting back to the sandwich - it was half a baguette with some thick slices of butter and two pieces of French bistro ham. The bread was kind of dense and the crust was more chewy than crispy. I was disappointed that they didn't bother to spread the butter, but if they're not selling enough sandwiches then they're probably keeping the butter in the refrigerator - making it too difficult to spread. When I got home I fixed up the sandwich to my liking. Overall, the sandwich was okay, but not good enough to make me want to go back. At least I was able to solve my hunger for the jambon buerre sandwich.

    It hurts to write a break-up review. Maybe I'll get Laufey to write the song for this…read more This used to be one of my favorite places for croissants in the Boston area. Now it's quite underwhelming. The apricot croissant is now some smaller glorified danish that has no richness or personality. The plain croissant is quite "bready" now, whereas it used to be light and buttery. I have a sneaking suspicion that they have a different croissant supplier now. What saved this spot from a lower grade is that the pain au raisin and chausson aux pommes are passable. Also a save is that they still offer various French products, from soaps to cheeses to canned goods. I have to find a new French bakery in the area.
