Cute designs! I came here merely based on reviews. I got a small cake - not cheap at all - and 6 cupcakes (cause you can't buy only one). One of the raspberries on the cupcakes had mold on it. Went back in right away and told them. I was told it was butter cream - ummm... no, I know mold! But they were nice enough to get me a brand new set of cupcakes. Another raspberries had mold again. So I'm back in 30 seconds later I'm like I'm pretty sure this is mold! So they take it away and give me another set without any raspberries this time!! Meh - first impressions can do a lot. I'm not sure if I'll be back in the future. Was not impressed. As far as taste - was good. But I've had better. read more

I used to order classic cakes for my kids' bdays in years past and was always happy with them but we have a recent celiac diagnosis in our family so we have been trying to find the best gluten free cakes in Carmel as our go to.... classic cakes gf cakes are truly amazing and moist- you could never tell they are gf unlike a lot of others! Super moist and many flavors to choose from, plus the customer service via email and in person we had when inquiring about options was amazing. I have sampled the chocolate, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and berry rose . Delicious, this is my go to for gf cakes from now on- only drawback is you have to order quite a bit in advance (like 4-6 weeks ish). read more

Classic cakes has been my top choice for ordering cakes for special occasions for years. They always do a superb job in decorating and the cake is delicious. The vanilla cake with vanilla frosting is my favorite. The cake is moist and holds up well to ensure that cake leftovers are almost as good as when it's fresh! read more

My daughter's first birthday was last week and I ordered our cake from Classic Cakes. I've had a history of mediocre cakes from this place, but I wanted to give them another chance because a good friend has served some delicious ones from here in the past year. Unfortunately, we had a cake that nobody really wanted to eat this time. Looking at other reviews, I see that some others had non-friendly customer service. Yes, I experienced the same, but I ended up happy anyway because her ideas for my daughters cake were good, and I was very pleased with the appearance of the cake when we got it. The thing is, the beautiful cake just wasn't very good tasting. It was extremely crumbly in an odd way and it didn't taste fresh. I would guess that the cake was not freshly baked for us. It seemed like a frozen or otherwise not new cake was decorated for us. This should not be the case for a relatively small cake that cost more than $50. We only have 1/5 people in this house still eating the cake. Nobody else in this house of sweet tooths wants any. The friend who got the really good cakes here ordered gluten free cakes, so I am assuming hers were specialty cakes made fresh. I can't say enough about this cake's beauty (reason for three stars). But this is likely our last Classic Cake. read more

Not only are their cakes some of the prettiest that I've ever seen, but they taste just as good! They also have some of the coolest cake stands that you can rent. I've been working in the industry for almost 4 years now, and this company is one of the most well known places to come for your wedding cake needs. Definitely recommend! read more

Classic cakes did my wedding cake a little more than a year ago. While this is obvious, I should let you know, my cake wasn't ordinary. I asked them to recreate my grandparents wedding cake, from the 1940s. Obviously, I had a photograph, but it was very fuzzy, since it was so old; the photo had not been removed from the wedding album since it was put there! 50 years later, I handed CC the photo, and they made it perfectly! I wish I had a picture to share, but it was gorgeous! I didn't see the cake until I got to the reception hall, and had to take a moment to myself and my dad to cherish it! I even showed a photo of the cake to my grandmother when I saw her next, and she loved it! She recognized the cake as hers, but in higher color quality! It makes for a great memory, something I can cherish forever! read more

I was looking online to order a cake. Their website has a contact page, so I put in my information. I later received an email from Classic Cakes saying to call them directly if the order is time sensitive, which it is. We had questions on design, pricing, delivery, etc. A very dismissive person answered. She would not answer any questions, blew us off, and kept telling us to put it in an email. With customer service like that, we moved on to the next bakery; and you should too. read more

Beautiful and delicious cakes!!! Took my 6 year old daughter here for a Mommy and Daughter day. She loved it! The food was good, the atmosphere, and the service. The whole family is a big fan of this place. We can't wait to take our out-of-town guests to this magical place. read more

Best cakes I have ever had and I keep going back for more!! I stumbled upon this place over 8 years ago when looking for a place to make my wedding cake... of course, they won hands down, and I have been back over and over again since then. Very pleasant service and great tastes to help me with my decisions. Were able to create the cake I was imagining for my special day. Though a little pricey and not your everyday splurge on a dessert, for any special occasion, this is the cake to get! Love! read more

I have ordered a number of cakes in the past year and a half. They were delicious, obviously, or I wouldn't have continued to order them. I ordered a sheet cake at Christmas to slice, put in takeaway containers and drop off to about 20 people. The icing on this particular cake was very thick, and that is coming from someone who loves extra icing. I felt that the icing tasted of shortening and left your mouth feeling waxy. I heard the same thing from many of the people that I had dropped cake off to. I was embarrassed after bragging about their cakes. One person said she was no longer going to order a cake for her parents' anniversary party due to this icing and being worried that might happen to her cake. I sent an email to the manager and felt that I got a brief apology that seemed insincere. Regardless, everyone had already had the cake. I had put in an order for an Easter cake at the time of ordering the Christmas cake and had forgotten about that. They called me this week to see if I still wanted one. I explained the issue again and it was suggested that I come in and taste their buttercream icing so I would know what their icing tastes like. I found that to be an odd statement. I reminded her that I had ordered a number of cakes, with buttercream icing, many times before and that I know what it tastes like. They offered me a 10% discount, after spending over $100 on a cake that had nasty icing. I declined. I am not going to order a cake that is not consistent every time, and I felt like they were being condescending about me coming in to taste their icing. Extremely disappointing. read more

My family has been using Classic Cakes for our special occasions for years and years, but I did not fully appreciate how fantastic of a product they turn out until I took a Classic Cake to a baby shower yesterday. After the cake was distributed, The room full of very loquacious attorneys was rendered completely silent, so in awe of the cake. Kudos! The chocolate cake was moist and delicious, the buttercream icing smooth, and the decorations - ducks and dots - were completely adorable. We ordered an eight inch round cake and it was more than enough to feed 15 people and still have cake to spare. I will need to get the remainder portion out of my house ASAP if I want to be in a bikini this summer! read more

We ordered our cake from Classic Cakes for our wedding. AMAZING!! Every other tier was vanilla almond, with red velvet as our other flavor. YUUMMMMM. As far as the decoration - beautiful - in fact, I brought in a picture of how I wanted it decorated and poof! - the cake looked exactly like the picture! As far as pricing - ours was approx $3/per slice - it's a little bit cheaper if you go for the classic flavors (white or chocolate cake) - but we loved the vanilla almond and red velvet so much that we splurged for an additional dollar/slice. We highly recommend Classic Cakes in Carmel. read more

This was our first time ordering a cake from here for a gender reveal party for my brother. They were very busy because of mothers day, with a sign saying they could not accept any orders. I am absolutely blown away with this business's customer service. An associate saw us hesitate at the door and then go back to our car. She came out to our car, in the rain, to ask what they could do for us. I came in to ask for other recommendations to order a cake and another associate, Jennifer, said she would just make it work and took our order! The cake was perfect and it was delicious! My brother and sister-in-law were so very happy and it was a perfect way to discover they were having a boy! Thank you so much! We will absolutely order cakes from here in the future! read more

Words can't describe how beautiful and delicious our wedding cake was from Classic Cakes. The cake is the turquoise and lime green cake featured in the photo section. I loved how unique and fun our cake was. Classic Cakes was able to make our design ideas a reality and it looked even better than we could have imagined! AND, it even tasted wonderful! Can't wait to eat the top layer on our 1st year anniversary! YUM! read more

Very happy with my daughter's birthday cake! She's obsessed with Greek mythology and had a very specific cake design in mind. They listened and the finished product was great! They were very accommodating and even gave us a price break on the pick up day because the design wasn't as complicated as they originally thought it would be. That's excellent customer service! read more

We did NOT choose classic cakes for our wedding. When compared to other tastings, they were the least moist/quality tasting. They did not have many of the cake flavors they offered available to taste either, even though our tasting was booked weeks in advance. Additionally, they were the most expensive. The other main factor contributing to our decision was how we were greeted/treated during the tasting. It was obvious they were busy and acted as though they had better things to do. As far as exterior designs go, Classic Cakes had great ones! Very impressive. So if that is all you are looking for this is probably the place! We walked in ready to hand them as much money as we needed to for the perfect cake, but we went with better taste and another company who actually wanted the business. We spent our $1200 +/- for a 4 tier cake somewhere else. read more

My husband and I were so excited to go try wedding cakes after we got engaged. We had planned to go to as many bakeries as possible but after we tried Classic Cakes, we were set! I needed to find a bakery with gluten free options for some of my family members and I got raving reviews on both the regular and the gluten free cake. So happy we found Classic Cakes and already planning on buying a small cake for the two of us next year on our anniversary! read more

I came here to get a gender reveal cake. It was for my brother and his girlfriends new addition to the family and I was the only one who knew the gender so I wanted it to be special. They absolutely rocked this cake. Over the course of a week we went through a few different designs and they were very understanding and accommodating to all of my ideas. The end result I couldn't have been happier with and everyone at the party loved it. Thank you!! read more

I ordered a custom cake for my husbands retirement party the design was inspired!!! The three layers were each delicious (yes, I tried them all; yellow with strawberry, chocolate with truffle and banana with cream cheese frosting). It was a focal part of the event. Thank you Brie and the whole team. read more

Classic Cakes did our wedding cake back in June and I could not have been happier with our cake. They NAILED it. I gave them a picture and they did exactly what I wanted. I compared Classic Cakes to Taylor's and though I thought they were comparable Classic Cakes just beat Taylor's with their customer service and taste. I highly recommend Classic Cakes if you want a wedding cake that is unforgettable! A huge thank you to Classic Cakes for making the wedding cake of my dreams! read more

If you are looking for mediocrity this isn't your Cake place. Classic Cakes went 'above and beyond' my expectations (which btw mine are high) for our Wedding. Not only did we have a wonderful time at our tasting, but they nailed my vision for my wedding cake. Aside from nailing the visual the cake tasted decadent and phenomenal! Thank you Classic Cakes for taking your Cake making skills to another level. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Almond pound cake with chocolate truffle filling is simply to die for. Nuff said! Ilene and her staff are second to none in quality, beauty, taste and style! The bakery is quite unassuming but don't let the store front deter you. Come inside to a beautiful bakery, taste the incredible cakes and marvel at her creations. You will be pleased. From baptism and first birthday to weddings to even my own father's funeral, she does cakes for all occasions. read more

Set up my cake tasting for my wedding in Dec 2021, the only close appointment was June that was fine it must be great I thought . So the day comes and I ask the woman doing my Appointment if it's ok that my 2 year oldsits on my lap .the tastings are for 4 people but she's 2 and my sitter called last minute sick and I didn't want to have to wait another 6 months. She turned away my appointment turning it into a carry out tasting which I thought would have meant she'd at least discuss with me my ideas for my wedding cake. She seemed like she couldn't care less about anything I had to say. She seemed like she just wanted me out of the store. She even went through the trouble of making 5 tasting plates to go..... but my 2 year old wasn't allowed to just sit on my lap with me . So we sat in the car and did our tasting. Thinking "well I had an hour appointment and she said her next appointment isnt until 4 maybe she will talk after " still no she wouldn't even step from the back to speak with me . She was rude and seemed like she didn't care if she got my business , I told everyone where I had this tasting at and I work with a lot of people who come in and want suggestions for their wedding this will no longer be a top suggestion. read more

This is bakery is the best! For over 10 years my sister would get all her cakes from Classic Cakes. They would make these adorable birthday cakes for all my nieces and nephews. My sister has since passed away, and when her son, my nephew got married there was no other bakery to go to surprise him with a groom's cake. They went above and beyond our wildest expectations! My nephew and all the wedding guests were amazed and it was delicious too! Thank you Classic Cakes! read more

First time visiting Classic Cakes yesterday. When we walked in, Courtney greeted us and offered us samples of many different varieties of cakes with an assortment of frostings and fillings. After an exhaustive taste-test, we decided to go with the raspberry cake for a family birthday party that evening. I was a little hesitant because most bakeries only offer made-to-order cakes and need 48 hour notice, but Classic Cakes had a wide selection of cakes and cupcakes ready to go. I wish we would have taken a picture of the cake before our inner gourmands devoured the heavenly treat, but atlas, you will have to try it for yourself! Thank you, Courtney for putting up with our indecisiveness and relentless quest for the perfect cake combination for our birthday soiree. read more

This place has become the go-to bakery for not only me but my entire family. We order all kinds of cakes from them now (birthday, anniversary, mother's day, etc). They are so incredibly tasty and worth the price, which I don't think is unreasonable. I had a horrible experience with another bakery in Noblesville that did my wedding cake. The colors were off, the flavors were wrong, and it even showed up with the wrong monogram. For our Anniversary last year I sent Classic a picture of the cake and they recreated a layer of the cake with the right colors, correct monogram, and it tasted a 1,000 times better! Awesome customer service and great tasting cakes! :) read more

This place is truly wonderful. I can't believe what a terrific job they did with the custom baby shower cake I ordered for my friend. It was a dragon wrapped around a baby, and it was the most adorable dragon ever. The flavors were so delicious, everything was perfect. I will definitely buy from them again. Everyone I was in contact with was helpful and friendly. They weren't pushy, snobby or rude in any way. I'm really so happy I stumbled across this bakery. On a side note, if you want to purchase a cake, no matter where you go, always order far in advance because a very good bakery will be booked quickly. Don't use a bakery's website...call. Make an appointment to go taste the flavors and discuss in person what you want and don't leave until the decorator has it right. If you don't do those things then you only have yourself to blame if you don't get what you want. read more

Classic Cakes made our wedding cake and it was the absolute best! All of our flavors were so delicious and the design was beautiful! They were able to make my wedding cake design come to life and they nailed it. All of our guests were raving about how yummy the cake tasted. We chose mocha, raspberry sour cream and lemon orange almond and they were all delish! Sometimes wedding cake can be bland and dry, not Classic Cakes! They are the best in Indy, in my opinion! read more

This is an awful place to get cakes! I purchased 12 cupcakes for my son's birthday. The decoration was basic. My daughter could have done better. The frosting had no flavor. The cake was dry and seemed as though it had been sitting out. I contacted management and they would not respond back in regards to this product. Bad management, bad product, over priced. read more

This is the only place I'll order a cake from. Excellent service, delicious taste, and awesome staff! My favorite cake is white cake with raspberry filling. They have half price cakes towards the end of the week in the case, so sometimes if I need a sweet treat, I go in and get myself a reward. read more

Even though their cakes are absolutely delicious, I find it so difficult to cut into such works of art!! Like seriously, would you eat a Van Gogh? But alas, every time I do end up cutting into the cake and enjoying every scrumptious morsel. The love and passion they have for their work is obvious.These cakes are truly masterpieces. read more

Classic Cakes went above and beyond for my daughter's wedding cake. They designed a cake that included a cake-topper of a couple that had on the same attire as the real bride & groom! This cake was truly a SHOW-STOPPER at the wedding and the cake tasted great too! Thank you Jen and the other staff at Classic Cakes! read more

I just experienced the worst possible wedding cake testing experience. We left after 15 min. Jen barely smiled, didn't introduce herself, and seemed generally annoyed by our presence. Either she was in a bad mood or they didn't want to serve a lesbian couple. The cakes we tasted were great, but I'd never spend a dime here. read more

I got an email from the owner, Ilene, apologizing for the miscommunication and offering to slip my cake into the order line for Saturday. She was very nice and apologetic and they are even letting me pick up the cake after hours on Saturday. I still think the lady on the phone earlier this week was rude, but this almost makes up for that. We'll see how it goes on Saturday! read more
