    a cake with shells on it
    Robert C.

    I ordered a cake for my wife's 70th birthday and chose Cakes by the Sea because of the reviews and the quality of their website. I attempted to call the store on a day they showed as open, but there was no answer. I used a link to send an email and a couple of days later I received an email response that stated they were closed for vacation and would not be open for a couple more weeks. In my opinion, this information should have been posted on their website so that customers are aware. I wanted to order a specialized cake for this occasion so I was happy to wait since I did not need it for some time. I went to the store and ordered the cake a couple of weeks before the pickup. The woman who assisted me was friendly and assisted me with choosing the cake and the specific decorations that would be added. Because this was a surprise I was not able to pick the cake up the day of the party and had arranged for a friend go to pick it up. When I placed the order there were a couple of specific things that I requested to be done. Many who read this will say that this may be a bit nit picky but the sea grass piping on the side of the cake was to be done in a brown icing and was done in white. They also were to add additional white chocolate sea horses, which they did. That being said, the cake was truly a hit with my wife and all those who attended the party. The chocolate cake was moist and delicious and the peanut butter butter cream was also very good. overall I was pleased with the cake with the exception of the seagrass color, which would have given the sides of the cake a little more texture visually. The 4 stars is given because the cake was not completed exactly as ordered and for a higher end cake it should have been correct. The other reason is due to the website not reflecting the lengthy closing for vacation. I have contacted the store and discussed for informational purposes the missed sea grass color and they appreciated the information. I would absolutely recommend this bakery as a place to have a cake ordered and will order from here myself again in the future.

    Our 6 inch beach cake round!

    I heard nonstop compliments about our wedding cupcakes. They were an absolute hit! The ladies at Cakes by the Sea were incredibly kind and I appreciated their recommendations. Thank you for our tasty treats! We will be back in the future for sure!

    a happy 16th birthday cake

    I absolutely love this place. Incredible customer service from initial contact through the pick up of the cake. Even left with some awesome cookiea I orderes my daughters cake with only a picture of what we were looking for, something close. The cake not only tasted awesome, strawberry with lemon chiffon filling, the decorator took an idea and made it come to life Thank you so much for making my daughters 16th birthday cake a cake to remember

    The birthday girl was so happy about her red velvet cake! Thanks again!

    You all did a WONDERFUL job on my order. It truly surpassed my expectations. It was difficult trying to explain my vision over the phone, however y'all were able to take that vision and bring it to life. Y'all are truly AMAZING, will definitely recommend this to everyone I know that will be visiting North Myrtle Neach area. Thanks again for your excellent service and delicious cake!

    Ordered a Mario Bros cake for my kids birthday, marble cake with fudge buttercream filling. DELICIOUS! I provided images for what I wanted that were done in fondant and the decorator did a wonderful job bringing the cake to life with delicious buttercream. Will be ordering cakes from Cakes by the Sea for years to come I'm sure. Thank y'all!

    Vanilla cake with almond frosting, red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, and chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting!

    After a long day of sampling wedding Cale's, we stumbled into Cakes by the Sea with little enthusiasm, however upon trying the cupcake we were amazed. Even being completely full, I would not leave one crumb of these cupcakes behind, they were so good and stood out as a clear winner to be our wedding cake. We couldn't decide on a flavor, but the owner assured us doing these layers of different flavors and frostings would be no problem. She created us a beautiful and delicious cake, the whole process was so easy and competitively priced. Since our wedding we've been back several times and have never been disappointed.

    It was my first time coming in, and the environment was very welcoming. I was greeted right away…read moreand told to take my time browsing. I was unsure of what I wanted since everything looked amazing. I ended up choosing two cupcakes (key lime and strawberry milkshake), a cinnamon roll, and 2 chocolate croissants. Upon checkout, the total came out to around $24, which is an amazing price considering the treats I grabbed. The gentleman at the counter was the sweetest and even gave my son a free cookie (which he loved and would not share easily, lol). Overall, the experience was half the reason I love this place. Then I tried the baked goods. AMAZING!!!!! I could not stop raving to everyone about how good they are. If you are interested in giving this place a try, do not hesitate. From the customer service to the delicious treats, this gets a 10/10 from me!!!! Worth every penny and I will be coming back!

    This place is absolutely stunning. The only reason for four stars is there are no prices posted on…read moreanything anywhere!! So, you have to order and take what you get or ask the prices of each and every single thing?? I asked for a menu and he said they don't print them? How do people order or get catering? Consequently, we tried one of several things and found them tasty but 1/2 of what we got was not over the top delicious. DELICIOUS WERE: the cinnamon roll, nutter butter cookie, and the cream puff, which were all outstanding!! $20.76 bill a little pricey.

    Service was good. Assortment was good, but make sure you ask the prices of everything before you…read morepick anything up. We got six pastries and got a bill of $45.50! Granted, 3 of them were specialty for Mardi Gras, "St. Anthony" cakes. These were actually plain old cream puffs. Billed as fresh, and costing $7.99 each, we were duped. The pastry was not fresh. I've made them for years. They should have had a crispy shell. They were soggy. We ate them within 3 hours of purchase. Didn't refridgerate, which could cause the sogginess. The crème englais was meh. Very disappointing. We haven't tried the raspberry Danish yet, which were $3.99 each. Definitely not going back. I rarely write a poor review, but want to alert others so they are not shellshocked by their bill and then disappointed with the purchase.

    I just went in to check out this new bakery. I left with 5 croissants with melted honey butter…read moreglaze, apple tart, two glazed croissant cinnamon rolls, tres leche cake and flan. The croissants were amazing!!!! The apple tart was delicious. The cinnamon rolls were divine! The tres leche cake was ok and the flan is yummy. The owner stated that they just opened October 2022. He was very attentive and friendly! He said his wife has been making cakes for over 20 years. The cakes in the fridge were pretty. Nice quiet place to have a treat and a cup of coffee. This place is worth a visit and possibly a celebration cake order. Can't wait to go back for more croissants!
