    a woman sitting at a table with a birthday cake
    JoAnna L.

    Had my 25th birthday cake done by Karen with dark purple frosting, black polka dots, and a black bow...don't worry, she asked my Mom when she picked it up how old I was turning because of the odd colors. I loved it!! The inside was white cake and strawberries...everyone at my dinner loved it. Definitely recommend her for any cake needs.

    Karen made a beautiful mermaid themed cake for a bridal shower I hosted. Not only was the cake absolutely lovely, but it was moist and delicious! I highly recommend Kakes by Karen and can't wait to order another cake.

    Karen does a beautiful job! Her cakes taste good as well. She does take a good portion of the summer off

    I had no idea this locally owned coffee shop existed in Bakersfield until Yelp! There are even 3…read morelocations- one in downtown, on Panama Ln, and this one. I went twice to this location two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much. First with a friend and then I had to introduce it to my kids. The coffees and teas are delish and unique, as well as the smoothies and juices (I didn't try those but my kids loved them). We tried a variety of baked goods, the honeycomb bread is sooooo dang good! Filled with little pockets of cream cheese, drizzled with honey, and topped with toasted regular and black sesame seeds (I forgot to take a pic of this one, but I'll add it next time I go). We enjoyed all of the pastries we tried- not a crumb on our plates by the time we were finished! The decor is beautiful and unique. All of the employees super nice and helpful. You can ask them for descriptions or ask for a menu to see details and ingredients. They're open late too, so I think my next visit will be a GNO or a date with my hubby.

    The coffee was good, although it definitely leans on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind if you…read moreprefer less sweetness. I visited on a busy Saturday morning, and seating was very limited, which made it a bit difficult to find a place to sit and enjoy my drink. The staff was efficient and got orders out in a timely manner, but the customer service felt a little less warm and welcoming than I had hoped. A friendlier and more inviting atmosphere would really elevate the overall experience. That said, the quality of the coffee makes it worth a visit, especially if you're looking for a sweet treat to start your day.

The lemon raspberry as well it has a tangy flavor and not that sweet as well. I just wished they're alil bigger lol. They also have a tall bday cake- Neapolitan flavor (as I've told), i wasn't able to take a pic. They also have other baked goods like brownies. Overall, i might visit again if I need a specialized cake order.

I ordered the strawberry cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes and lemon cupcakes with raspberry frosting and filled with raspberry filling. In my opinion they should give information on their website about all the flavors they can do or at least a few flavor idea suggestions, because when I called them to place my order I asked what flavors they offered and she had to name them off one by one and began struggling a bit to remember them all, so it was awkward, time consuming and harder for me to remember everything she was naming this way and just made it harder to decide which ones I wanted to go with... I ended up just randomly picking the first three I remembered her naming. Lol Good picks though ! So all the cupcakes were moist, creamy/velvety and delicious! The frostings were not overly sweet and I thought they were the perfect size too. My only complaint was that the toppings on the strawberry and lemon ones were candy, not a fan of candy and it kinda made them look like they were for kids and they were not. ( Noticed from others pic's that the lemon cupcakes usually have a raspberry on top...) Anyways, excellent prices, great service and delicious cupcakes! Would definitely try them again!

    (04/23/26) Nothing Bundt Cakes was such a sweet birthday…read morestop for me last month! I came in for the very first time to redeem my birthday freebie and was immediately impressed by how beautiful the shop was. The atmosphere felt so clean, cozy, and welcoming with such a fun vibe all around. As it started getting busy, the workers quickly organized everyone into a line which made the process smooth and efficient. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait long before it was my turn, and I had the pleasure of being helped by Brittany. She was absolutely lovely, super friendly, and incredibly helpful! I genuinely enjoyed chatting with her during my visit and really appreciated all of her recommendations. A1 customer service for sure -- she truly made the experience even better, so I definitely wanted to give her a special shoutout! Even though my visit was brief, I still enjoyed it so much and could already see myself coming back again. For my birthday freebie, I chose the carrot cake flavor and it was delicious! While I was there, I also picked up the cutest sparkler candle. They had so many adorable candles, packaging options, and little extras throughout the store that made everything feel extra festive and gift-worthy. Overall, I loved the vibes here and had such a positive first experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back one day for another sweet treat!

Frosting is great, cake is moist, and our party enjoyed it. Only gripe I really have is how expensive it is. Maybe a few dollars less and I would definitely consider getting it more often! Other than that, wonderful establishment and great service for sure.
