Ordered a cake from here earlier this year, finally got around to reviewing because talk of this…read morecake continues to come up in conversation to this day! I hadn't read the reviews before ordering, as I was frantic in trying to find a bakery that could do a small custom cake less than 24 hours before my Mother-in-Law's birthday. I was desperate and willing to take anything, and Leigh Anne was very sweet and patient with me on the phone. We settled on the Carrot L-Orange cake (heavenly). I forget the exact size, but I remember she said it would feed ~6 people which was perfect, and truly it could have fed up to 12+ people as that's how many servings we got out of it. That cake was tall, flavor-packed, and very rich. The complimentary carrot, nutmeg, and orange flavors had a warm spice that had me questioning why it had been over a decade since I last had carrot cake! It is criminally underrated in my peer group, or at least it was until we had this one. You know you've got a great recipe when even the folks who 'don't want any cake/don't like sweets' start eyeing it to make sure there's some left for them to try, and especially when they ask if they can take a to-go slice back home because they know someone who just HAS to try it. Thank you again for the beautiful, scrumptious, Delicious Design!

Not only did they do a phenomenal job with nailing the details of the design (a weiner and jiz lol) - the cake tasted like heaven. I have never had such a yummy frosting.

If you're an ube fan, Dream Cakes is absolutely worth the stop. The ube cake was hands down the…read morehighlight of the visit moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. It had a rich, authentic taste that kept me coming back for another bite, and it's easily one of the better ube desserts I've had. The only thing that kept this from being a five star experience was the selection. I was hoping for a larger variety of flavors and more items available, but the display felt a little limited during my visit. I would have loved to try more of what they have to offer. We got one of everything they had and that ended us up with lots of earl gray flavors admittedly not my favorite. That said, quality definitely won over quantity. If the variety grows, this would be an easy five-star bakery in my book. I'll definitely be back for the ube. Super amazing staff ! And the building was easy to find .

Full disclosure: I have known Terry for many years and she is a friend of mine and I have known her…read moreand her family for years. Have you ever watched Cake Wars or Ace of Cakes? This is the same kind of baker! She can take your dreams and turn them in to reality! Terry make unbelievable cakes. She once made her dad a cake that looked like a Nikon Camera. The waiter thought it was a real camera. She has made several cakes for us and even done a Nightmare before Christmas cupcakes for us. The cakes look amazing and are always wowed over. The cake itself is moist and delicious. She offers a variety of fillings such as lemon, raspberry, chocolate etc. My favorite is chocolate with raspberry filling. The outside of the cake is made from fondant and can be eaten. I am not a fan of fondant and therefore normally do not eat it. Terry is an independent baker who bakes from home. She has a book of pictures of cakes that she has made. But if you have an idea of what you want she can design a cake just for you. If you want a cake that will wow the crowd then this is the baker for you.

For full disclosure: I have been friends of Terry's mom for several years. That is how I found out about her cakes in the first place, besides having the opportunity to experience them at several friend's parties over the years. But her artistry and the level of yumminess has totally kept me a repeat customer. Those who don't already know and come to our parties always ask who made it and many have wanted her contact information for their future parties. Her cakes are THAT GOOD! They also have become a focal point in my decorating for our parties. They are a work of art. As you can tell... she can definitely work with non-traditional requests really well, too. My son loves having mash-up parties and those totally call for a cake of a "different" design. She listens to our general ideas and then soars with them. She also did an AMAZING job on the Invader Zim cake! I still get comments when people see the pictures on my facebook page and that was several years ago. I totally recommend her for your next party!

And not only bundt cakes, but rum bundt cakes! (You can order them without the run though). I got to chose the flavors. Because it was almost St.Patrick's Day, I chose the Guinness Chocolate (Stout) and Strawberry Shortcake. Definitely winning flavors! These cakes have a smooth texture. The rum is not over powering in taste, but you can smell it. They taste delightful! I look forward to trying more flavors! You can also order Rice Krispies, Ube cakes, cookies, and more!
