There is no other bakery I would use! I've went here for my wedding, gender reveal party, baby shower, and birthdays. You won't find a better looking, or tasting, cake here in Gastonia/Gaston county. After my wedding and baby parties, I got several others to switch their bakery over to this one. Best part of her cupcakes? There is the perfect amount of icing, unlike so many other bakery's that pile it on! Go on and try a cupcake, I dare you. You'll be a believer after one bite, promise. read more

Delicious small town bakery! They have nice treats on the inside, and are able to make cakes for your events as well! They have many flavors of cake and icing. My photos are of a vintage heart cake that had almond flavored cake and icing. It was amazing. The cakes can be rather expensive but well worth the price. The taste and design is hard to beat. The workers are also very kind every time I have been inside read more

The brownies are awesome! The cookies were good too. It's a small bakery but there were a lot of choices in the case.

Everyone there communicates well and goes ABOVE and BEYOND for every single cake. I have used them for birthdays for a few years, but they absolutely stunned me with our wedding cake. They are absolutely amazing and skilled. I could not recommend them more. read more

I placed an order for a Graduation Cake on May 6th & also for some cookies. I sent a pic of the cake I wanted & they said they could make it exactly like the pic. Well today is the day I'm supposed to pickup the cake & cookies which is May 21st. They've known since May 6th about the cake & cookies. They sent me a text about the cake 2 days ago to confirm & I responded. They did NOT mention the cookies, so I thought I would double check on them. The girl that took my order did NOT even turn the cookie order in. These were specially made cookies for the Grad Party. I was originally supposed to pickup the order at 12:30 today!!! Well they said it would be 4:00 before the Cake & the cookies were ready. The party is at 6:00 so that's pushing it since it's a Grad Party & we have to decorate also! I received a text at 2:50 about a detail on the cake! Give me a break! You're NOT even finished with the cake! Is this NOT poor Customer Service!!!! I have used them before, but this time they totally messed up! I haven't seen the cake yet, but NO MATTER what it looks like we have to take it!!!!!! Soooo disappointed in them & their Customer Service!!! I will really have to think twice about ever using them again!!!! Very upset & disappointed Customer to say the least. To Cake-Me-Away's Credit the Food & Decoration on the Cake & Cookies were really good! The Cake & Cookies were really good. The employees were really nice & helped me carry the food to my SUV! I also think I should have been compensated for their mistake & my inconvenience! read more

Cake Me Away makes an exceptional base cupcake. It's buttery and not too crumbly. The different icing toppings are all excellent. I love the $2 Saturday cupcakes. They make great cookies, bars, cheesecakes and other desserts too. And while we haven't tried their specialty cakes, the pictures show impressive creations! read more

I placed an order through Cake Me Away for my best friend's baby shower, and unfortunately, my experience was far from professional. On the day of the shower, I arranged for a mutual friend (who knows both me and the baker/owner) to pick up the cake and cupcakes. When she arrived, the cake was not yet finished, and she had to wait while the baker rushed to complete the fondant work. Despite placing the order a month in advance, the baker appeared unprepared. After hurriedly finishing, she loaded the cake into my friend's car, and it was brought to the event. When I opened the box, I immediately noticed the rushed craftsmanship. Both the cake and the cupcakes had lumpy fondant. The biggest disappointment, however, was with the fondant decoration. I had specifically requested a hotdog design, but instead, I received something that resembled a thumb (or worse). I promptly sent a photo to the baker, pointing out the mistake, but instead of addressing it, she tried to shift the blame onto me. Although our previous conversations clearly specified a hotdog, she chose to interpret it differently without consulting me. When I expressed my dissatisfaction and her lack of accountability, she continued to deflect and even used religious references to dismiss my concerns, which felt inappropriate in this context. Overall, if a baker is hired to do a design, they do the design. They do not make decisions on their own. I think she was just rushing and didn't put a bun on and thought it'd be fine, but it wasn't. And no accountability either. read more

I arrive to pick up my cake and it actually took quite a while for it to be ready... I could see them scurrying in the back throwing it together. I thought it would be ready when I got there. I overlooked the long wait time and when they gave me my cake, which wasn't a huge cake and had no topper, they didn't even have a box that it could fit into properly. For the amount that the simple cake costs, I would think that I would get a box that at least closes all the way. I won't be using this bakery again, they used to be great but it seems like things have changed...simply not pleased. read more

Let me start with how the last two weeks have unfolded. Last Tuesday (a little more than a week at the time of writing), I sent in a request form for a custom cake via email and got a response almost immediately. The following week I called to follow up and was able to talk to the owner of the bakery who said she had been sick for a few days and she would have a quote to me same day or early the next morning.... 3 days later and 1 day before the event she texted me saying she could still fulfill my order but I let her know I had moved on and had gotten our treats at another bakery in Charlotte. She apologized and said they had just changed management. My only concern with that was the fact that the same number I used to call the owner was the same number that texted me... so is this just another excuse to keep doing bad business or did she genuinely replace management? I guess I'll never know as I won't be returning. Please let this story be a warning to those who have an important event ahead and need a good bakery. THIS IS NOT IT!!! read more

Only two times I ever got anything from this bakery it was very dry. They have a lot of flavors to choose from but to me that doesn't matter if it's too dry read more

I was really hopeful about this place. I wanted it to be very good and a place where we could pick up delicious pastry to go with coffee or great desserts to serve when we had company. It hasn't turned out that way. read more

Have used them before for prior cake and party needs and they had amazing desserts that were just beautiful. I wanted to use them again and reached out multiple times only to get no response and then finally excuses. I ended up reaching out to another bakery. The manager of CMA contacted me and was very apologetic and the communication with her, Jessica was on point. She was quick to respond and helpful. I'm big on communication and when I didn't get anything back I was set on not giving them my business any longer. Jessica is the reason I'll continue giving them my business for needs. Their goods are just as delicious as when I had them decorate desserts in the past. I did end up going with another bakery but I will reach out to CMA for other needs or when I get a sweet tooth and need a fix. read more

This is the worst bakery service! I have been calling for 2 weeks, sent them all the information, they agreed to do my custom cake. Every time they say that they will call tomorrow but they never called back! I called them back and she promised that she will call the next day. I called for the last time, she was talking over my conversation! She wants to charge me more that what we discussed and agreed! read more

If you want an amazing wedding cake and a bakery that will back the bride no matter what, look no further. First of all, the cake was beyond amazing.

Cake Me Away did an amazing job on our wedding cake. We ordered our 4 tier wedding cake and a groom's cake from them. Brittany was so easy to reach and it was so simple to coordinate delivery since we were getting married in town. We visited other bakeries in the Charlotte area and were quoted almost twice as much for the exact same cake. The wedding cake and groom's cake not only were absolutely gorgeous, but were DELICIOUS! I seriously still get so many compliments on how amazing our wedding cake was. read more

I ordered 20 cupcakes for my 16th birthday party, placing the order was grate. I had to pay half when I ordered them and half when I picked them up which I completely understand. I told them what I wanted and it was a simple order, 20 cupcakes half chocolate half vanilla, with a flag in it that says sweet 16 and she asked the color frosting I would like, I said pink, blue and purple, keep in mind she urged me to pick 3, i initially wanted just purple. But I told her I didn't want sprinkles. I had my dad go pick them up, when I looked at them at home, it wasn't what I asked for, the flag wasn't a flag, and it had pink, purple and blue sprinkles which I told her I didn't want, and just brown and white frosting. Anyways they are good cupcakes but the decorating wasn't what I thought it was gonna be for 90.00 dollars. ‍ Never again. read more

My son requested a red velvet birthday cake. I dropped by hoping they might just have one ready. Luckily they had just taken red velvet cupcakes out of the oven! Owner asked me to give her enough time to let them cool and frost them. I ran another errand and went back to find a tray of BEAUTIFUL red velvet cupcakes, topped with cream cheese frosting. They were DELICIOUS! I will definitely go back for all of my birthday cakes or just any time I'm looking for a special bakery treat! read more

My father ordered my wedding cake from this bakery. The cake itself is delicious. The frostings they make are good. The only issue I have had is with customer service. When my father purchased the cake over a year ago, he was told on our anniversary to come back for free tier to celebrate our anniversary. I called back to place our order. The girl on the phone told me it would then be $10. Fine. She then asked me to send a picture of the cake to their cell number. Odd since we didn't ask for it to be decorated. So I sent the photo. She asked me which flavor I would prefer. So I told her. She said that she would see me when we came to pick it up at the date and time we set up. I called back to confirm the day before I was supposed to pick it up, and was then informed that I would have to pay $35. Odd. I asked what had changed and why the price continued to increase because I had been told 3 different prices in one week. The manager, I believe, got very snotty over the phone and said something along the lines of "the cake you got wasn't expensive enough for the free tier for the anniversary", which my father wasn't informed of over a year ago. I then told her we were told it would be $10. She informed me that the information I received was wrong, and that she would speak to the girl that took the order. The conversation was basically over. The next time I heard from them was via text message. Which I think is pretty unprofessional. She informed me over text that the information I received was wrong, but they would still honor the $10 cake deal since the girl informed me wrong. I got my cake for $10. No complaints. The cake itself is very good. We were pleased. However, if you're looking for excellent customer service, this isn't your place. Drive to a Publix. read more

I was only able to give the bakery 24 hours notice that I needed a gender reveal cake and their team worked hard to make sure I could get my cake!

Will be using them again! read more

Best carrot cake cupcakes I have ever tasted! I highly recommend this bakery!

Absolutely adorable tea house with wonderful pastries. We popped in while traveling to buy birthday cupcakes and were delightfully surprised. A real find! read more

I've been to Cake Me Away twice and both times I was absolutely thrilled with their work. The first time I ordered an assortment of cupcakes and requested a vintage, floral design on each (Google "hand painted cupcakes" and you'll see what I mean!) When I saw my order I was stunned; they were GORGEOUS! The artwork was spot on and they tasted good too! I do remember enjoying the vanilla flavored one the most and the strawberry flavored one the least. The second time I ordered a carrot cake for a birthday. Once again, it was decorated beautifully and everyone raved about how delicious it was. Just as importantly, the ladies that work there have always been very polite and my orders were ready on time. Try it! read more

Outstanding cakes. The level of service is unreal.. They are a shining example of why small business wins every time. They went far out of their way (a few blocks) to make sure my moms birthday was extra special last night. Cake was beautiful as always and the lame fun-fetti cake we always opt for is amazing and made un-lame by them. I will continue to support this place every time I can. read more

A guy's birthday in the office led to me trying "Cake Me Away" for the first time. The construction of the cake looked great, and the taste was phenomenal. I cannot recommend this highly enough! read more

I wish I could give no stars but the one star is because the cake was actually good. So my friend is too over it to write a review but I'm not. Let's start with a text that my friend received the day of the party asking that she pick her cake up later than the scheduled time. Ok that's no biggie things happen but they also asked her to resend a picture of how she wanted her cake!! At this point I'm nervous because it's 11:00am and she's supposed to be picking the cake up at 2 now. So my friend picks up the cake and the lady instructed her to sit the cake in a refrigerator for another hour. Well we didn't know why she said that because we couldn't put it in the refrigerator because we were going straight to her daughters party. An hour and a half later as we are singing happy birthday the cake is melting and when we cut it.... it begins to fall apart . My friend spent a nice penny for her cake for it to look like a one year old played smash face with it. We had to put what we could salvage of the cake in plastic wear but this is how her cake looks. As I stated this was a good cake but this is unacceptable. read more

I soooo wanted to love this place, but I was a bit disappointed. The good stuff: The shop is absolutely adorable. Seriously, the little yellow house looks like it belongs in Mayberry! The service was absolutely AMAZING. From the time I walked in the door, I felt welcome. Sadly, the cupcake was lack luster. It was pretty, but not very flavorful. It was a bit on the dry side, and overall, I did not enjoy it. Honestly, I've tasted better cakes from some grocery stores. In fact, I ended up giving my second cupcake away because I didn't want to waste it. I may return to try the food from the cafe, but I'll keep searching for my perfect cupcake elsewhere. Major bummer. read more

I picked up a birthday cake(almond joy)and cupcakes on 2-27-16 when I seen the cake it was so pretty so I just knew it was going to taste as good as it looks. Well I cut everyone a piece and tried mine I was so disappointed when you think of almond joy you think coconut and almonds didn't have any of that, it had 3 layers the top two were good but the bottom one was over baked and the outside of it had a bitter taste, in between each layer was more thick icing it really took over the whole cake. As I looked around everyone was eating around the icing and just eating some of the cake. The last thing you want is being responsible for getting the cake and you get it and it's not good so I'm left with the rest of the cake that nobody wants to eat read more

My grandson and I visited this new bakery in downtown Gastonia and were sure glad that we did. We bought several items but the cherry sundrop cupcake was AMAZING! I only got a small bite of the other items because my grandson ate them so fast! I will be back to this charming bakery! It was so clean and organized and the staff was great! If you are ever in Gastonia you should definitely stop in...you can thank me for it later ;) read more

I just wanted to take a minute and tell you how awesome the staff at Cake Me Away Bakery in Gastonia are! My daughter is feeding tube fed and only has 13 safe foods. Her safe foods do not leave much room for a mom with little cooking experience to make cupcakes that look normal. I Facebook messaged the bakery the week before the last week of school and explained the situation and asked if they could help. I just wanted my daughter to get to be like everyone else because they were going to be having cupcakes the last week and a half of school every single day. She is 6 and in Kindergarten. Up until now she has never cared but she begged me for cupcakes... my attempts were terrible. Cake Me Away not only stepped up to the plate... they knocked it out of the park. We went through all of her safe foods, they made a recipe that would work and then they messaged me to let me know how they would make them and make sure they were safe. Not only did they look great, they tasted amazing!!! They went above and beyond and even made cupcakes for her several times in that week and a half so they would be fresh. The staff was amazing! If you need anything please message them on Facebook or give them a call! read more
