Cynthia was absolutely wonderful to work with! She's so personable and truly involved throughout the entire tasting ...unlike others who rush through naming the option and disappear. Cynthia takes her time to guide you and make sure every flavor and detail is thoughtfully explored by her tasters with professional care. Her cake was light, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The citrus strawberry flavor was a huge hit at our wedding. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered a small cake and about 4 doz cupcakes for our handfasting.. the delivered results looked kinda thrown together and they used edible paper instead of doing stencil work, or making the part out of fondant as discussed. Who wants edible paper as the main decoration on their cake? Even with pictures as references and discussions as what we did and didn't want, they went with the 'didn't want option' Not only was decoration sub par, so was the cake itself. Cake and cupcakes were mostly dry. Lots of the frosting was grainy. The main cake was ordered to be the lemon filling was fresh and tart when we went for the tasting, but tasted like lemon jello pudding in the end product. The knot work was asked to be part of the frosting (see the picture) either ask piping, fondant, or painted on...but not edible paper?!? It wasn't even applied well. You can see the gaps of where the paper isn't touching but also see the frosting used to attach it is also visible. The ivy is lacking details and also rough cut and you can see the rough edges. The Korik masks were supposed to fondant so they could be picked up and be just the masks...not printed on a disk of edible paper. The mushrooms were supposed to be on 'moss' (like colored shredded coconut) but was just green frosting...exactly what we said we didn't want. The gnomes hats didn't match colors, and their face, nose and beards were all the same white...grainy frosting and missing the decoration in their beards...and the beards were messy also. 1 out of 10. Would not recommend if you want what you ask for that isn't a BIG GRAND cake read more

If I could give more stars I would. We had our cake baker become flakey for our wedding. She got us in the next day. Our wedding was 2 months out. Her professionalism at the tasting was so nice. She was prepared and everything was clear. We walked out fully booked knowing down to when our cake would arrive at the venue. And the cake itself was unique and exactly what we were asking for! The flavors were amazing and guests still are raving to us 2 weeks later how good it was. And even with the humidity and heat the cake held up till cutting. Thank you! read more

Delicious cakes!! Ordered a custom 4 layer cake for a Nutcracker themed quinceanera, each with a different flavor. Was a bit pricey but worth the money. Leaving 4out of 5 because my cake wasn't centered correctly and my red piping was kinda sloppy but overall it was perfect for my event. read more

I am writing this review as a cautionary tale, the owner, Cynthia, is very good at hooking you in, however when communicating and working with her after paying the deposit was very disappointing. My wife and I had a cake from here made for our wedding which was in May. When we first went in December to get an estimate Cynthia was very kind and printed out pictures of our inspiration and drew concept art and reassured us that visually the cake would look very similar to what we wanted. (Refer to pictures for expectation vs reality) We also got to try a whole variety of flavors and she gave us a lot of recommendations and advice and laid out costs very clearly. All of this sounds exactly what you would want from a bakery and it was! We had confidence in our baker that she would deliver an amazing cake that was moss/woods themed. We did want slight alterations such as a naked cake, but nonetheless she said it was all possible. When our wedding day came and all the pieces started falling into place one of the hiccups (a big hiccup) was that Cynthia arrived two hours later than she promised to be, according to our coordinator. She has stated to arrive at 2:30, but instead arrived at 4:30 and our ceremony started at 5. A few heart attacks on your wedding is normal, but it was quickly relieved when we were told she had delivered the cake. However, when we finally saw the cake and went to cut it, we were terribly disappointed as the cake looked nothing like what we expected. The flowers we had asked for (we wanted decorative, not frosting flowers) still had tags on them, the frosting was bubbly and looked nothing like moss, it was also in excess and dripped almost around the entire cake, the water coloring we had asked for was barely present too. The decorating seemed rushed as evident by the tags in the flowers and the late arrival which means they did not give our cake as much time and attention to make sure everything was right. However, the cake tasted amazing, but visually it was a far cry from what we thought and were lead to believe we would get. Perhaps the design was too complicated, but at that point the business needs to know what they can and can't do and their artistic limits and level with the customer. On top of this we had to drop off the cake stand some time afterwards and went to do it on a Saturday. Cynthia had told us to meet her at the store at 11am so we could hand it off, but the store was closed and no one was inside. When calling to find out where she was, she seemed to have just woken up by the sound of her voice. She directed us to give the stand to the salon next door, which to me was extremely disrespectful. She didn't respect our time to even meet us at her store for her property and I was hoping to talk to her about the cake personally and this was the last straw. I apologize for this lengthy review, however I feel our testimony is important to warn others about her customer service. She makes great tasting cakes and will deliver, but you may not be entirely satisfied with the customer service. read more

We got our wedding cake from Cynthia and we were very pleased! The cake turned out perfectly and the ordering process was easy and seamless!! We were both a little clueless as far as serving size and fondant versus icing and she helped us make the right choices for both. She was able to make all of our designs in icing and the entire cake was so delicious! read more

I have never met Cynthia Gallagher in person, but I've encountered many of her cakes and they are beautiful and delicious! I've attended and coordinated several weddings in San Antonio where she has provided the brides and grooms cakes. Cakes arrive on time, assembled and decorated perfectly, and aren't too sweet. Her buttercream frosting is probably my favorite in town but I've tried several of her cake and frosting flavors and have yet to be disappointed. Despite the low number of reviews here on Yelp, she gets a ton of business and books up fast- and for good reason. Pricing is competitive, too. read more

4 STARS! The cakes were phenomenal! Customer service was top notch. Cynthia met with us and not only laid out all her options and pricing but she had every type of cake and icing available to taste. During the design process she pulled out her colored pencils and drew out an actual render of what we were wanting. This made us feel comfortable with using her over the other places we tested. The white cake was moist even two days later. The chocolate cake was even more amazing in richness and flavor. Our wedding cakes each had fresh strawberries inside. Her marshmellow icing is incredible in lightness and soft sweetness. Their prices are very fair and she offers cake stands and delivery. I recommend her for any type of cake. She does 3D cakes like seen on Cake Boss. From trucks, to sports, super heroes and more, her grooms cakes are creative and one of a kind! read more

OMG there are not enough words to say about Cynthia and her cakes!! She is truly amazing. Not only do they look like it came out of a magazine they taste perfect. Never overly sweet or gross fondant tasting. So far Cynthia has done my wedding cake. Amazing! then my baby shower cake! Amazing! Now we are preparing for my son's first birthday party and she will be doing his cake too.. If you're looking for an amazing cake for design and flavor this is your lady. Trust me I never write reviews and I just had to do this one. read more

My wedding was April 15th 2011. Cynthia was the third person I met with during my cake testing process. She made the cake testing (which was amazingly yummy) easy and the cake design portion was fun! She actually took the time to draw out what I was describing to her (with colored pencils- super cute) so that I could see what we were creating. She was the only person that did this for me! My cake was sooooo beautiful! and of course the flavors were out of this world. I was most nervous about the grooms cake. My husband is a musician and I wanted a replica of his Gibson guitar. She brought that dream to life! The guitar looked SO life like and it turned out to be my FAVORITE flavor of all of them (chocolate of course-w/ a chocolate mousse!) If you are planning a wedding or special occasion give her a call. Did I mention that she is EXTREMELY affordable? Thanks Cynthia! read more

Cakes & More Bakery - my wedding cake by cynthia gallagher.. - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I was unfortunately very disappointed with the service I received from this bakery as well as the wedding cake we ordered. We requested a 3 tier cake with piped roses. The piping on the cake we received looked unprofessional and was frankly ugly. The frosting on the cake we ordered was cream cheese, and we received what appeared like and tasted like marshmallow fluff. This wasn't exactly complementary with our red velvet cake flavor. Finally, we were very excited to box the top tier of our wedding cake. Cynthia assured me she would be providing boxes that fit the cake tiers. The boxes she provided did not fit the cake and it was cut into many smaller pieces to be packed up. The top tier was wrapped in plastic wrap as we couldn't use the provided box. My communications with Cynthia and her team were unpleasant aside from our very first tasting with her. Her team was rarely able to answer my questions and Cynthia was very short with me when I asked questions leading up to our wedding date. She made me feel like the questions and concerns I had were stupid when in reality everything that I was worried about going wrong with this cake went wrong. read more

The cake was beautiful! Top tier was chocolate and the bottom was red velvet. Both were so moist and tasted great. Cynthia was professional and accommodating. Will use Cakes & More in the future! Thank you! read more

We ordered the Italian creme cake and chocolate mousse and both were delicious! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE loved our cake! It was so delicious and moist PLUS it looked amazing. Thank you for the great service! Sadly our venue (the st. Anthony hotel) lost the top part of our cake but we will order another one just for the memory! Definitely a top baker for wedding read more

Cynthia was extremely professional since the first day I contacted her. She was extremely flexible and considerate of my work schedule in regards to our tasting. She is very professional and passionate. Cake tasting was such an amazing experience, she took photos of us, and explained everything in detail. She made the process and experience very smooth. The tasting went so well, we had such a difficult time choosing 1 flavor, we ended up with 3 flavors. Our wedding cake was beautiful and received so many compliments. Guest are still asking me; where we got our cake from. Cakes & More is definitely our new favorite bakery and I will be ordering from them for all our events moving forward. Our experience was lovely and the cake was delicious. You will have no regrets! read more

Cynthia was wonderful to work with, and she delivered exactly what we talked about! We were amazed at how amazing our cakes turned out! I looked all over for someone who would do the floral/succulent look I was wanting, but without using live plants. Others told me it could not be done, but Cynthia delivered! read more

So I've been debating between posting this review or not, mainly because Cynthia is a very nice person and I am sure she has done a great job on many cakes. However, this post is mainly concerning those who have dietary needs. My fiancé and I are both vegan. We scheduled a tasting appointment two weeks in advance to try a vegan vanilla cake. When we showed up for our appointment, there was no cake to taste, however Cynthia had showed us she recently got a vegan cookbook and would be experimenting with some recipes. We went through and designed the cake, were told we were her first vegan clients and she was excited to start offering vegan options... however asked us if we could come back a few weeks later to try the vegan cake. Because she was so friendly, we decided we would come back, only it had to be on a weeknight which was really inconvenient for us because of our job schedule, but we made it work. So fast forward to the day of our [second] tasting. We show up, and she asks me if I brought the contract (that I thought she would have had a copy of, seeming that it is HER contract) and I said I forgot it amongst the rest of the day's chaos. She then begins to tell me that yesterday's customers were vegans and wanted to try a banana cake and a carrot cake, so we got to try yesterday's leftover vegan cake. No vanilla cake, for the second time. But she said, NEXT TIME she will work to make a vegan vanilla cake. I am sorry, Cynthia. Though you are very friendly and personable, and I am sure you are very skilled baker when it comes to generic cakes, you cannot possibly expect me to come back a third time. I do not have the time to waste when there are dozens of other bakers in San Antonio willing to accommodate our dietary needs and have the cake ready when it's supposed to be. So I am very irritated: 1. My vegan vanilla cake that I've been requesting for over 6 weeks has yet to make an appearance. 2. The cake I was given was a day-old and made for ANOTHER client. 3. How is it that I am responsible for YOUR contract. Why not make a copy? 4. My time has been wasted, two times. I am sorry Cynthia, you are very friendly, however this is the world of business. And you just lost mine. I just wanted to post this review for other fellow vegans out there. We are people too, and if you cannot make a cake that suits our dietary needs, then please just say no and not waste our time because you can't keep your orders organized. read more

Thank you Cynthia for our DELICIOUS gourmet wedding cupcakes!! They were just beautiful & exactly what We wanted!! Our guests ate them ALL & were asking if there was more Lol Cathi & Joe Baker read more

My review is a little late but because our wedding was in 2011 but I still brag about how incredible our wedding cake was to this day. My mother still talks about it fondly and photos of the cake have been "repinned" on pinterest hundreds of times. I would not consider any other bakery in San Antonio. Since our wedding I have used any excuse to use Cynthia again. Birthdays, parties at our house, etc. Absolutely outstanding. I cannot sing her praises enough. Not only are her cakes delicious and beautiful, she is such a nice and talented person to work with. read more

We had Cynthia do our cakes for our wedding and they turned out spectacular. We had a 4-tiered cake for wedding cake and a firetruck for the groom's cake. We were a little nervous how the grooms cake would turn out since it is a motor vehicle and needs to be made to look similar to the Fort Worth Fire Engine, but we were more than pleased. Cynthia even put lights in the cake for the headlights of the truck as a special touch. The cake was really moist and everyone loved all the different flavors. When we were there in her cake shop with her, she was very attentive and friendly and walked us through the whole process. We were very happy with our service and the cakes that we received. I would recommend Cynthia's cakes for weddings to everyone!! She is great and so are the cakes!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Cynthia is so personable, experienced and professional. We went in for a wedding cake tasting and she was so prepared. The cakes and fillings were SO GOOD. The cake was moist, and the flavor options and combinations were unmatched. She had every color of colored pencil and drew out the cake exactly as I wanted it. She had great suggestions for the groom's cake. She asked me to send her pictures and get her a color swatches of the colors I want, so that she can match it exactly. I am very impressed and would definitely recommend Cakes & More!!!!! read more

Most amazing cakes!! Everything custom. Cynthia made it easy. Tasting all the flavors made it hard to chose. Finally decided on Italian Cream. She showed up when she said she would with the cake we had designed. Price never changed. It was the hit of the event! Not one problem. She is such a professional. It truly was a pleasure. read more

Save your time and money!! If you hire Cynthia Gallagher, you may end up getting stood up, like my fiance and I did! We drove in from out of town to meet Cynthia, with Cakes and More, for a second cake tasting. The shop was closed!!! No one answered the door and when I called her I got her voicemail. We waited 15 mins. before leaving. Cynthia didn't call us back until 30 mins. later saying she had another cake delivery and thought she'd make it back in time to meet us. Obviously, she was WRONG. Then, she goes on to say no one was at the shop to meet us for our appointment because she also forgot the cake server for the cake she was delivering. She didn't apologize, nor did she offer any way to remedy the situation. All she did was keep giving us excuses and asking us to turn around and go back to the shop, even though she knew we had a wedding shower that same day. Also, during our first cakeb tasting, Cynthia had a limited number of cake/frosting combinations for us to try--hence the second tasting...plus, she wasn't even sure which flavors we were tasting. Now, we have to start our search all over again and our wedding is in a few months. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, INCONSIDERATE and UNRELIABLE!!! read more

Cynthia recently made the cake for our daughter's wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous! And so delicious! Some of our guests told us they never eat wedding cake because it's usually dry and flavorless but they heard the other guests talking about our cake and decided to try it. They were not disappointed! We chose the almond cake with strawberry filling for the top tier and Boston cream filling for the other layers. Delicious, moist and full of flavor. From the minute we first met Cynthia and did the tasting, we knew Cakes and More would make the most special cake for our daughter's wedding. I would highly recommend Cynthia - not only was the cake delicious and beautiful but she was a delight to work with. Thank you! read more

Cynthia did an excellent job!! She worked with me and made sure that my cake was everything that I wanted it to be and more. The decorations were beautiful, and most importantly it tasted amazing! I would definitely recommend this bakery to anyone looking for beautiful and delicious cake. read more
