I stumbled across Janine at It Takes the Cake while looking for a baker in Lawrenceville for my god son's Christening. I was naturally nervous because it was the first time I was working with Janine, I wanted every detail of the Christening to be perfect and I had an inspiration cake that I had my heart set on. Janine did not let me down at all. I found her very professional, very easy to work with, accommodating and not only did the cake look amazing, it was delicious as well. The cake was moist and the fondant was not overly sweet. That cake was definitely enjoyed by all. Thank you Janine for being a part of our special day.

Beautiful beautiful cake. My lovely husband surprised me for my birthday brunch with a cake and it was so beautiful, I didn't want to eat it. Also, the taste was so scrumptious. We will definitely order a cake again.

Let me start by saying, I like to support small businesses by buying my birthday cakes from there…read more Unfortunately, for how much you pay it feels like all of the love and effort goes into the frosting and not the cake. I ordered a marble cake, I was hoping that they would cut and layer the cake but instead you get two, unleveled cakes with more buttercream in between..... I was hoping they would at least level the cakes to allow for more layers, especially considering how high the cakes are. Because then the cakes could maintain some moisture. The details are pretty and they were able to execute the funny cake that we ordered. But only two layers and TONS of buttercream wasn't exactly the most delicious. The cake also seemed to be on the dry side. Unfortunately I've tried the Walmart heart cakes and now I see why many people are going that route.....

The BEST bakery in metro Atlanta!!!…read more Yanet's Bakery is an ultimate gem! The cakes are delicious and absolutely stunning. Customer service is hands down the best. You will not find more engaging service anywhere else. They will work with you on any design and make suggestions within your budget. The red velvet is one of the best I have ever tasted. All the fillings are freshly made. The cakes last a long time which is great after an event, and there might be leftovers. (if guests don't snatch up all the cake!) The bakery is beautiful and inviting and lots of free parking. I have booked 3 to 4 weeks in advance and my orders were always ready on time, as they are highly reliable. Even though they are 45 mins to an hour away, I never second guess ordering!

Vy created the perfect cake for our wedding day! Her cakes are all absolutely beautiful and also…read moreespecially tasted amazing! Before our wedding, we were able to pick up one of Vy's tasting packs of cake, all of which were incredible tasting and helped us choose the flavours we would want for our final cake. Highly recommend picking up a tasting pack if you are able to! During the process, we met with Vy early on and discussed our choices of flavours, design, and Vy was able to send us a mock-up design that incorporated elements from the wedding dress which ended up being a great touch, and created a cake that was unique for just us. We have honestly never seen a cake fly off the table so quickly - to the point where we weren't even able to have one of the flavours on the wedding day as the guests ate it all so quickly! So many compliments have been given from friends and family about her cake. Overall, we highly recommend getting a cake from Syndesi for whatever event you may have coming up. The trip out there would definitely, definitely be worth it. We'll certainly be ordering more cakes from her for future celebrations!

Favorite cake baker! Vy was so kind enough to squeeze me in to make a cake for my daughter's first…read morebirthday. And I was so happy she did. Everyone was amazed at the cake (a lot of them didn't even believe it was cake). The guests devoured it and I got asked so many times who did the cake. I will definitely be recommending her to friends who are looking for custom cakes and will order from her again for other special occasions!

My mom has been raving about this place for years now and I only recently decided to check it out…read more It was her birthday, so I decided to get her a chocolate cake and pick it up from this location. The weather was absolutely terrible and it is tucked into a quaint shopping center. As soon as we stepped inside, I almost immediately forgot about the rain because it was so nice and relaxing. There are about 3 two-top tables inside and it was decorated for Easter. The woman working the register was so kind! She made the ordering process easier and made sure to confirm with me before packing up any sweets that my little ones were requesting, which I appreciated. As I was checking out, I last minute asked if they did anything special for birthdays and got a free cupcake! It was a 10/10 experience, the sweets were delicious, I definitely intend on going back soon

My niece and I purchased several treats from the bakery a while ago. Most of them tasted like the…read morecommercial scent used to refresh the air. Some of the cookies were stale. We had to throw most of our items away. The only edible item was a chocolate cupcake. It was fresh and moist. I noticed the cupcakes are kept in an enclosed case and cake slices are boxed. The other treats and the quiche are not enclosed. They are beautifully displayed, however, I have wondered why they are not enclosed in a standard bakery case. My concerns (about the openness) are flies and other flying insects landing on the food, possible improper food temperature, and the commercial scents being absorbed into the open treats. For example, I have not purchased quiche because it is out in the open without any refrigeration. We visited in the afternoon and a sliced quiche was out for purchase. I hope my comments are taken into consideration. Meanwhile, I will pause my support.

Visiting family in Georgia and saw on tiktok that this should be a goto spot…read more They offer the viral layered fruits (pics below) but we were in a savory mood so got their meat pastries. We did get a mango yogurt cup as well because their display cups looked so good! --sausage crossaint: 4 out of 5 - sausage on a crispy soft croissant, topped with cheese and chopped jalapenos. it was a bit basic but it tasted pretty good to me! --sausage donut sandwich: 4/5 - not sure what it was filled with but it seemed to have a imitation crab coleslaw base, topped with the sausage and sliced of cucumber --spicy beef croquette: 3/5 - it was mid, nothing special. it didnt have much flavor, you could definitely taste the spice and it was red; but it was not spicy. --beef & vegetable croquette: 3/5 - also mid, the filling was super mashed up so i personally did not like the flavor The service was great, the cashier was friendly and helped us warm up the treats. They also kept the water pitches full so that was nice :) Ambiance: there was a good amount of tables, and it was 75% full but still quiet! good spot to hang out w friends, study or go on a date!!
