From the moment I called Creative Cakes they were professional and accommodating. I emailed Cheryll my details with pictures for the cake. The cake was designed identical to all of our specifications. It was beautiful and tasty too! I really appreciate that I was able to order the cake 5 days prior to the event. Everyone loved the cake, including the guest of honor! Thank you very much! read more

Trust in Creative Cakes, they will give you their best! Recently, my mom turned 50 years old and I came to Creative Cakes six months before her birthday to order a three layered cake with red roses falling down the stairwell. They first gave me my options in terms of design, flavors and their price range [roughly $5 per person]. I wanted simplicity into the cake and have the roses stand out by itself. I visited the Creative Cakes two times before setting a final order. I decided on getting the marbled cake with banana frosting [third layer], carrot cake with cream cheese frosting [second layer], and vanilla cake with white barbarian cream [first layer]. On the day of the party, not only was the delivery on time, but it was better than what I expected. My guests were very pleased with how it turned out and was the star of the night. The cake tasted amazing and I would love to come back to it again. I highly would recommend this place if anyone would want to have a great cake for their party. read more

Creative Cakes OC is the Ace of Cakes! This review is several folds. Part 1 - Background & Wedding Day My husband and I got married at Turnip Rose Promenade & Gardens and as part of our wedding package was a Creative Cakes cake. Thinking back to that night everyone couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the cake was and how delicious the (three-flavored) four-tiered cake! I remembered I tasted Creative Cakes a few years prior at my best friend's wedding at another Turnip Rose location. Maybe I unconsciously chose Turnip Rose because I wanted everyone to try Creative Cakes. I don't know the actual logistics the day of the wedding, but my venue coordinated with Creative Cakes. I didn't have to worry at all. The cake was beyond what I imagined, see photo. Part 2 - Cake Tasting Experience Our cake tasting experience was everything we imagined. Who doesn't love a smorgasbord of various cake flavors and frosting. Making an appointment was easy. Just make sure to schedule ahead. This is a family run business since 1970. The employees were delightful and really had our best interest at heart. We weren't the only couple there tasting cake, but we felt like we were. The attention to detail to their customers really set them apart from other cake places I've been to. They brought us water to cleanse our palate and although we were paralyzed with the choices, the staff gave us suggestions on popular cake combinations. Tips: - I was beyond elated at how the cake turned out. It was gorgeous and delicious. The perfect cake. It was exactly how I imagined because I brought photos of cake designs I liked and the talented cake artists replicated my exact vision. - If you have multiple tiers, feel free to try different flavors for each layer. We did! - We chose Cake: Lemon, Red Velvet, Funfetti(!). Filling: Bavarian Cream, Cream Cheese, Strawberry. Frosting: Homemade Buttercream. [ Photos to come of our cake tasting plate, once I find it ] Part 3 - Anniversary Cake ! I just got off the phone with Wendy Colleary. What a gem, bless her heart. I felt a connection with her and she was so helpful in ways she may not understand. As part of the TR wedding package we get to order an anniversary cake a year later! This sealed the deal. I'm going to pick up a carrot cake to share with friends and family as we celebrate our (belated) anniversary. I'm so joyous right now and bursting at the seams with the thought of sharing this cake with the same friends and family who came to witness our union in OC a year+ ago. I live and work in LA, but hope I make the time to order future celebration cakes from Creative Cakes and make the trek to OC because I believe in their gift. Their gift to make delicious and gorgeous celebration cakes to share with loved ones. Enjoy the photos from our cake tasting and wedding. read more

We have been having excellent service since they moves a few years ago to the new location on chapman. Cakes are delicious and their creations are stunning.

Wow... we had our wedding cake made from them and everyone raved at how good it was.. We got married at Yorba LInda Country club and the cake maker was them... From the samples to everyhing, they made it super easy... and now on our 1 year anniversary they offer a free cake... I was really amazed because since it was a free cake, I thought they were going to give me this little itty bitty cake, but no.. it was huge.. a 6" marble cake, with cookies and cream filling and their signature curls... made with white chocolate... Simply amazing! read more

I went in all excited to this place because I am looking for a wedding cake for my wedding and as soon as I walked in some lady (don't know if she was the owner or regular employee) was on the phone (personal call) and told that person "hold on I got a customer here" so this lady spoke to me quickly, I felt like she was rushing me so she could go back to her phone call, so pretty much bad customer service! She should have told that person, let me call u back and she should have taken her time with me! read more

Creative Cakes made our cake and cupcakes for our wedding on March 17, 2018. We had a three- layer topsy-turvy cake with buttercream frosting. The cake layers were red velvet with cream cheese filling, chocolate with chocolate fudge filling, and lemon with bavarian creme and raspberry filling. Every layer was delicious! Moist, flavorful - exactly what we wanted! The cupcakes were a hit too, and many of our guests took them home as favors. Creative Cakes made our cake just as we asked and it was beautiful! So beautiful that we didn't even need the flower topper our florist provided. It was delivered right on time with no problems or hassles. If you need the best cake you can get, go with Creative Cakes. You may be able to find cheaper cakes out there, but I wouldn't risk it. There's a reason this company has been in business for so many years. Oh, and no need to freeze the top layer for the next year - Cheryl is going to give us a fresh one on our first anniversary! read more

Wow! Their vegan cake is the best cake I've ever had, and as a cake snob it takes a lot to impress me. My vegan daughter graduated this summer so I had to find a great vegan cake for her party. I chose carrot cake on top, chocolate on the bottom with salted caramel filling. Not only did the design we created turn out great, but the cake itself was amazing. All our guests were shocked it was vegan and many people tried both flavors instead of the standard bird size helping. I highly recommend their vegan cake for the healthy hipsters, soccer moms, and old school grand parents too! read more

LOVE Creative Cakes! I ordered a birthday cake and a dozen cupcakes for my bfs 40th and they did an amazing job. Not only did they do what I asked but exceeded my expectations. I ordered a marble cake with cappuccino cream and fondant frosting. I also ordered oakland raiders theme chocolate cupcakes with white frosting and the logo. The cupcakes were awesome and a crowd pleaser! The location itself is so cute. It has a small outdoor area with artwork by the owner. The hallway inside was so the same. Staff was super courteous and welcoming. Sadly the only reason I gave 4 stars is bc I wish they offered cream cheese frosting or filling and maybe more cake and frosting flavors . read more

Their cakes are absolutely stunning. The flavors are okay... and this being my third time ordering from them and not fully pleased I've come to an end with their business. I've always loved the way these cakes come out but I'm always let down by the fondant/buttercream. Once you cut into these cakes it's an absolute nightmare. You hardly get any cake itself and the buttercream will crack. Price is a bit too high but I understand your really just paying for it to look pretty read more

If I could, I would select 0 stars. I called and they told me to email my order--so I emailed my order. I get a reply with cost. I asked if I needed to pay in advance THEY SAID NO, WE'LL GET IT DONE WITHOUT A DEPOSIT BECAUSE YOU'RE A REPEAT CUSTOMER. Today I call to confirm pickup time just so they tell me they don't even have my order. THANKS FOR NOTHING! You just lost a client. They need to hire competent people. read more

Creative cakes is super awesome! Cake looked amazing -and tasted so good. They require at least 3 days notice for an order. I emailed Cheryl a picture of the cake I wanted and she did not disappoint. read more

I was referred to this place from the venue I am using for my wedding. After reading several reviews I was concerned. I reached out several times to schedule a cake tasting with little information given back to me. After a few emails, I was ignored. When I let them know I was not happy about the radio silence and that I would just go elsewhere I finally got a reply but just with store hours. No email addressing my concerns. I didn't feel confident enough to trust them with cake on my special day. Luckily, I am going to Susie Cakes for my wedding cake and they have been outstanding in every way. Delicious flavors and prompt service. read more

I was looking for a place to get a custom cake for our rehearsal dinner to surprise my fiancé. I called a few places and prices were INSANE. Then a friend suggested Creative Cakes and I'm so glad she did! Their prices were spot on! I went in for a taste test and the chocolate on chocolate was perfect. So of course I ordered the cake. It was ready on time when I picked it up and was better than imagined it would be. My fiancé was so excited and surprised! Everyone at the party loved the cake as well. We got so many compliments on it. We will definitely be back the next time we need a cake. read more

MAJOR FAIL. We ordered and a paid a deposit for a cake for our child's birthday party for pick up on Friday, November 29 as indicated in the receipt. However when we show up to pick up on Friday, Nov 29, they are CLOSED. The phone number given goes to voicemail. They did not call during the week to notify us or ask us to pick up on a different day. Up until now they were reliable for several birthday cake orders. Anyway, we're off to Who knows where to buy a cake. (Yeah no stress at all it's only an hour and a half before the party. Paying for 2 cakes but get one, what a bargain! That is a bargain for me.) Creative Cakes, Please align your orders and your hours of operation. Advice to Potential customers, confirm they are open on pick up date and have a back up plan just in case. At least it was paid through credit card and can dispute the charge. Update: long story short, the manager personally went above and beyond to make it right with us. I do recommend them for the quality and detail of their delicious cakes, with the above caveat in mind. So I'm upgrading but to 4 stars, as it appears ownership has changed several times and the business' priorities have changed since when we began using them 15 years ago. read more

Amazingly beautiful baby shower belly cake. All I can say that creative cakes went past the marker they should be at 10 thank you so much for bringing so much joy to this very beautiful day. I have been coming to creative cakes for birthdays weddings special Occasions and baby showers and they have never let me down they have actually exceeded my expectations of Baker's. Their cakes are amazing and their prices are very reasonable to what the end product turns out to be and comparing to other bakeries in orange county they are very affordable. read more

I was really disappointed with my order. I ordered a birthday cake. And did not get what I requested. Picked this location for the great reviews. Cake did not have Happy Birthday written on it The filling was also different from my order as well. When I sent an email to creative cakes it was just we apologize. But did not offer to make up for the cake or offer a refund. I feel that given the amount that is being paid for cakes at this location. Cake should be perfect..... read more

They delivered my wedding cake damaged and then left and didn't tell anyone. If I didn't have a large team of wedding planners to fix it, in addition to the chefs at the hotel, I would have had to display a damaged wedding cake. No bride should have to go through that. Luckily I only found out about it after the fact. It doesn't matter what the cake tasted like, that is unacceptable. read more

From the moment I called Creative Cakes and talked to Cheryll she was the most pleasant and easy person to talk to. Her communication skills were incredible. I decided to have them do a two tier cake, smash cake and cupcakes for our sons 1st Birthday party. She got my vision and over exceeded my expectations! Not only did they look good but they tasted amazing. We got carrot, cookies and cream, strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and red velvet and they did not disappoint one bit. I highly recommend Creative Cakes for any special event you have! read more

The worst cake I've ever ordered. There was so much frosting & the fondant was so heavy that it melted & is now lopsided. We only live 10 minutes away & this melting all happened within that short car ride home (see pictures). The actual cake (what little there was) & the fudge filling were tasty, but nothing spectacular. I've had much better from the other local bakeries. Stick with Rockwells, Pouls, ABC Cakes, or Pacific Ranch for cakes. So sad & definitely not worth half the money we paid...I could make a better cake at home. read more

The only thing wrong with my wedding? My cake. I wanted a white chocolate ribbon running down my cake. Of course this ribbon was supposed to match the red color of my wedding. Creative Cakes called and said that the red will be very close, but not exact. I said, "Fine no problem". The ribbon turned out pink. Not only pink, but fluorescent magenta. The tiers were supposed to be squared off, but were rounded. As rounded as the bull nose corners in my HOUSE. A filigree detail looked like chicken scratch. It looked as if a three year old decorated it. It was honestly the ugliest cake I had ever seen at a wedding. Our friends even asked about it later. It was a good thing the rest of the wedding went off beautifully, otherwise this business would have ruined my big day. We told our photographers to delete or throw away all pictures of the cake, and didn't go back for our anniversary topper. My regret is doing the cake cutting at all, and having that monstrosity in sight. Do not use them for any occasion where it is important that your cake be perfect. They won't tell you what they can't do which is often more important that what they CAN. read more

Having been a member of my beautiful sister Shanon S.'s wedding party, I can testify to everything she said. Totally hideous. And not tasty enough to even make up a point there. Fortunately, we had all been imbibing all day so she was able to shrug it off and have an amazing day. Love ya! read more

Creative Cakes and Rockwell's Bakery merged to form Creative Cakes by Rockwell's. Confused? Yeah, me too. Don't sweat the history. Do worry about the delicious cakes they bake here and the thousands of calories you will consume from these tasty creations. This place is located in downtown Orange, near the Orange Plaza/Circle. They've got a pretty big facility with a fair-sized showroom that does a good job of showcasing their talents. Creative Cakes by Rockwell's (CCR - not Creedence Clearwater Revival...) is mostly known for their White Chocolate Curl Cake. Let's just say that it looks sinfully delicious. I'm a bit intimidated by the looks of it. Too...scared...to...approach...cake... Anyway, the wife and I found out about this place through our wedding people (The Turnip Rose). CCR had some sort of exclusive deal with our caterers, so we had to go with them...otherwise we'd have to fork up extra cash-money. CCR did a good job about the cake. We gave them a photo of what we wanted, decided on how many guests we had, and they pretty much took care of everything else. All of our wedding guests enjoyed the cake and one particular friend of the family just can't stop talking about how good it was and who made it...leave us alone already!! We had two versions: Marbled chocolate with bavarian creme and white cake with strawberry creme...at least that's the way I remember it. I could be totally wrong and the wife will be upset... You get the idea. CCR does cakes. They come pretty close to that guy on Food Network (Ace of Cakes something or other), but not quite as elaborate or expensive. Check them out for your cakery needs. read more

Thank you Cheryll and the Creative Cakes team for an amazing cake and wonderful experience!!!

This was my first time here me and my mom went here to look at wedding cakes for my sister this place is great !! We were greeted by Gary the owner he was very nice and kind and even gave us a venue for my sister to call . Then we were helped by Melissa who does the wedding cakes she was also very kind and helpful she gave us samples of there chocolate cake and three different fillings which were great . She is very knowledgeable at what she does and at the prices of things . The customer service here is great and so are the prices and cakes I highly recommend them for any cake needs you may have . The piece of chocolate cake I had was great very moist and had a lot of flavor to just the cake itself . The three fillings I tried were cookies and cream , chocolate , strawberry they were the best I have had for a cake the taste was so good !! read more

This bakery was included in our wedding venue package so we didn't have a choice in selecting bakeries. I would rate their services, design and quality of cakes as average. When we went for a tasting, we had a to wait around for a bit before we were attended to. Then after we were given the tasting plate, we were left alone. Then afterwards we were able to discuss selection and design. I thought they could've engaged with us a bit more. At the tasting, we were actually quite pleased with the 2 flavors we selected. However, when I tasted the cake on our wedding day it tasted a lot sweeter which some of our guests didn't care for. But the wedding cake design itself came out exactly like the picture which I was pleased with. However, my only other criticism is that we had them do a grooms cake for us. It was a playing card screened on a simple sheet cake. When a took a look, the card was crooked and the icing looked a little messy. My husband loved it anyway, but I was surprised it was not done more professionally. read more

We ordered a vegan 3 tier cake that we custom designed ourselves. It was delivered to the house on time, looked amazing, and tasted amazing!!!!!! Everyone loved the cake! We are the only vegan ones but everyone thought the cake was delicious and great texture! Thank you so much! Will be ordering again in the future :D read more

Got a chocolate swirl cake with chocolate mouse filling and chocolate frosting for a birthday. It was okay. Just okay. Nothing made me say wow and I didn't scarf it down--in fact I had some left over. Honestly, it was just barely above a grocery store sheet cake. Pretty disappointing, especially since the small little cake cost $30 and Safeway would have been $15. I would note though that they seem to specialize in Wedding cakes, and they did have some very cool looking cakes, but I wasn't satisfied with the flavor. :-/ read more

Used Rockwell's for our wedding cake and cupcakes. I had very specific ideas on what I wanted, and was pleased that they were willing to work with me. I ordered a red velvet for the top tier, Neapolitan cupcakes, and a Neapolitan round cake for the base. The Neapolitan idea seemed a little different than they were used to, especially with what I wanted to do with the cupcakes. I wanted chocolate w/ vanilla frosting, and vanilla w/ chocolate frosting, both filled with a strawberry filling. They were a little reluctant at my request since they have never filled a cupcake before, but were willing to try. They actually did a sample for me at the tasting and it was perfect. The filling even had little pieces of actual strawberry in it. We were so busy at the reception that all my husband and I got to try was the first bite of our red velvet cake, and I had a cupcake. The red velvet was absolutely delicious, and we mourned not being able to have more of it that night. The Neapolitan cake (which was one layer of chocolate cake, one layer of white cake, with strawberry inbetween) was all eaten up and we got great reviews on it from our guests. I had to take off a star because, although the cupcakes were also delicious and a big hit with kids and adults alike, there was just about no strawberry filling. It was like someone took a needle to inject a sliver of strawberry -- just enough to know something was supposed to be in there and feel like you were missing out. I was bummed because I was telling our friends of the special treat they were getting inside the cupcakes. But overall, they were great to work with. All the cake was delicious and it looked great. Disappointed about the lack of filling in the cupcakes (that I feel I may have paid the extra labor for), but wouldn't mind ordering from them again. read more

This was hands down the cheapest place we could find to make our wedding cake, but I love cake so price will not determine my purchase. Cake tastings are by appointment only and the presentation of the tasting was very nice. Unfortunately I didn't like how the fillings and cake were separate. I can see why they do this to give one options when it comes to mixing and matching but I like to see what the baker's think are good combinations and then decide my own if I so please. I found the fillings a bit too sweet and the cake not moist enough, but for the price I have to say you can't beat it if you're looking for a decent wedding cake at a great price with further discounts if you pay in cash. read more

Rockwell's did the cake for our wedding at The French Estate. We enjoyed their cake so much at our tasting that we ate the entire plate of cake and frosting samples. We ended up ordering cupcakes and a six inch round cake so we had something to cut into. We used jewel shaped edible stones to add a little detail on to the ivory colored buttercream frosting. It turned out beautiful and we got a lot of compliments not just on the presentation, but on how they tasted as well. If you do go with cupcakes, I recommend finding a cake stand on your own. They charge $150 just to rent the stand. I was able to find a cardboard stand on cupcaketree.com. My mother-in-law spray painted it ivory and put ribbon along all the edges - you couldn't even tell it was cardboard! It easily held 130 cupcakes. My only disappointment with Rockwell's is that we ordered three flavors of cupcakes - red velvet, white and carrot - and we only received two of the three flavors. A little bit of a bummer especially when I'd been telling people that we would have three different flavors to choose from! Other than this, I'm glad we selected them to do our wedding. read more

I'm trying to count how many cakes I've ordered from this place over the years...my own wedding cake, my wedding shower and baby shower cake, cupcakes for my sister-in-law's shower, my other baby shower (from the other location in Buena Park which was total crap) and all three of my son's birthdays. You could say I like the cake. Here's the kicker though. The woman who planned my wedding no longer uses them because their service sucks. This is a huge problem for me because I have the utmost respect for her and the service standards she provides for all of her brides. I was crushed to hear this. She said that they only do wedding tastings at certain times, and only allow you to spend about 10 minutes doing the tasting. 10 Minutes!? To pick the most important cake of your life? Yipe! I just got my son's birthday cake from there last weekend, and I do love their cake and especially the frosting, although I'd be pissed too if I had the same ribbon issue as poor Vanessa. Many people at the birthday party complimented the cake and said they normally don't eat birthday cake since it's so horrible, but that ours was really fantastic. Bottom line with me is that I've had pretty good luck with them, but I've heard horror stories from other people and I'm not sure that I'd be AS quick to recommend them next time. The frosting is truly amazing though. Seriously. read more
