    Best coconut rum cake from Lisa's in Gilbert
    Melynda

    Lisa's Rum cake bakery in Gilbert made the most amazing July 4th cake. It was a coconut rum flavor and everyone loved it. So moist not like a regular cake. Very special. I highly recommend this place!

    I can't say enough good things about Lisa's Rum Cake. Any celebration we have- this is our go to for cake! Our entire family loves it and looks forward to it every party! The taste is always amazing and so much better than any store bought cake. It's authentic, delicious and worth every penny!

    As soon as I walked into the store, I knew had made a goood choice ordering from there. It smelled soooo good! The cake was beautiful and tastes amazing. I love that they have so many cool flavors to choose from and that it's a family owned local place! Definitely recommend for your next event.

    You gotta try the Strawberry  Rum Cake

    Lisa's cakes are made fresh. They are so moist and delicious. I'm from Washington, so It's my go to whenever I come to visit my daughter in Arizona and need a cake. Plus Lisa and her daughters are so helpful and genuinely so sweet!

    Email to business

    I wanna start this by saying, these cakes are delicious. I have ordered from here SEVERAL times. I ordered a cake for my sons's birthday. I originally wanted a cake that resembled a soccer field.. Although I am no cake decorator, I thought it was a fairly simple request, as a soccer field as just a couple boxes and a circle in the middle, and I just wanted it green. I was told it would be "too expensive" and I should "buy and edible template from Albertsons to put on top." I was VERY off put by this. I was told it would be "too expensive" but they never told me a price. And I thought the idea of an edible template was extremely tacky. I opted for Happy Birthday in the middle, but hoped the frosting would still be green. I was planning on buying plastic soccer players and goals to be put on afterward. Notes were took on my cake, but I felt extremely rushed and wanted to make sure details were correct, so I emailed the business the next day. (Email attached) I was called a few hours later by Lisa herself who said "yes I remember you, remember I said to buy the edible template for the top" I explained that I did not like that idea, and I just wanted it to be green with the happy birthday in the middle and I would add my little things at the end. Attached is the cake I picked up. I was extremely disappointed, and when I called I was told that in order for it to be green I would have had to pay extra. I clarified "it would have cost extra to add a couple drops of food coloring to the frosting?" "Yes" I wish it would have been make crystal clear over the phone that I was getting a white cake. I wanted a soccer field. I thought I made that clear on the phone and the email. The cake was served 2 days later, and it was delicious. But I am not sure the next time I'll be back. I would recommend getting the cakes without any special requests. It seems to be too much trouble for them. But these cakes are delicious.

    Lisa's rum cake and the entire stuff are out of this world. Amazing! I called upon Lisa 's for a specialty event. I was throwing for a commercial company whereby I was putting on a carnival for 100 employees for employee appreciation event. Lisa provided all the specialty cakes for the cakewalk absolutely amazing. The cakewalk was a huge hit at the event! I can't think Lisa and her staff enough! The cakes were gorgeous, the event was a huge success! Thank you so very much Lisa, Madison and Megan for all the hard work and beautiful outcome! We look forward to the next event!

    Limoncello and peach Amaretto

    Amazing service when arrived to pick up cake. I Got some sample cakes and OMG the peach amaretto! Limoncello was so tasty. Bday Cake was very moist. Very impressed with the decoration and Loved the icing! Highly recommend.

    Was looking for something a little different for my wife's 50th birthday party. I took a risk and ordered a cake online from Lisa's Rum Cake. I had never tasted her products but they sounded excellent. My wife is a big peanut butter cup fan, so I ordered the Peanut Butter and Chocolate cake. That cake was so freeeak'n goood!!! The cake was the talk of the party with everyone raving how great is was. My wife still claims it is the best cake she ever had. Excellent service and a fantastic product. We will be back for sure.

    Rickey's Wedding Cake
    Rickey Lynn G.

    While I do not review for yelp anymore this cake and the service was so exceptional that I must review it. My spouse and I decided to get married and I only gave Lisa 1 weeks notice that I would need a two tier wedding cake. Instead of saying no, as most places will on such short notice, they said yes and we sat down with a book of gorgeous cakes that they have made for others. After going through page after page of pictures we finally settled on a pretty white cake with some touches of purple on it. It wasn't hard to select the type of cake, as Lisa is the daughter of Cathy, the inventor of the original Cathy's Rum Cake. Ours also included a layer of fresh strawberries in it. Having purchased a number of cakes from Cathy's, we were sure that this would be a wonderful cake and we were not disappointed. Lisa's even arranged to have the cake delivered at the appointed time, and once again there was no disappointment. Before leaving we took home a number of "cuts" which are pieces of different cakes. One of them didn't even make it home it was so good. Everyone at the wedding raved about the cake, and even though it was a small wedding, almost no cake was left, and leftovers were gone in a day. If you need a terrific cake, even something not a wedding cake, I suggest you run - not walk, to Lisa's. You will never be disappointed.

    The best bakery in the Valley! This is our go-to place for special cakes. We've ordered their cakes for birthdays, Valentines, a baby shower and my husband's upcoming promotion ceremony! Everyone always raves about how moist and delicious they are. Our personal favorites are Rumfetti, Rum Velvet and Circo! This is a small, family run business and they are always so nice! We love supporting local and will use them for all our cake needs!

    Cake

    This is my first time ordering a cake from this place and we absolutely loved it! We ordered a 10" round cake for a baby shower that had 28 people. We had enough slices for everyone to have a piece but we should have ordered more! It was so good! We got the lemon flavored rum cake and it was so light and delicious and perfectly moist. The design and colors we picked went perfectly with the theme. I would definitely order from them again.

    Yum

    Ordered the Strawberry Cannoli Cake for my Mother's 70th Birthday. It was amazing! Best cake I've ever had! Customer service was great! Can't wait to order my next cake!

    Our wedding cake
    Ashley G.

    We absolutely love coming to Lisa's Rum Cake! Our wedding cake turned out amazing and it was absolutely delicious. I'm so happy with how it turned out and all our guests loved it. In addition to our wedding, we love stopping by for cuts on Saturdays or whenever we have the day off. It's always delicious. You have to try the Strawberry Rum.

If they could make just a plain cheese or bacon and cheese that would hit the spot lol We also got their regular cinnamon roll. The breading had a lovely sweet cinnamon flavor and the icing on top had a delicious creamy taste without being overly sweet. The odd part for us was the filling in the inside.

My current obsession is their new Mango Sticky Rice parfait. OMG. It is SO GOOD! Fresh mango, coconut, and that creamy Greek yogurt together are just perfection. I honestly can't even describe how good it is!! you just have to try it. Their Greek yogurt flavors are phenomenal too. They have everything from strawberry and lemon to good old-fashioned vanilla, plus different flavors to try depending on what you're in the mood for. Another thing I absolutely love about this place is that it goes beyond the yogurt. Inside, they carry products from local vendors and so many fresh and natural items....milk, cheeses, drinks, and other goodies you can take home. I love being able to support a local business that also supports other local businesses. I seriously wish we had MORE places like this instead of so many commercial, overly processed options everywhere. Fresh, local, delicious, and something you can actually feel good about eating. This place is such a gem!

My mom had come across…read morethe place on TikTok and since it was hot out and we were already out in the area shopping, we decided to stop in. I had known about this place for a while but did not know they had a whole merch section as well as many other goodies besides dairy products. Thankfully, it wasn't too busy so we were able to walk right up to the counter and begin ordering. The woman behind the counter asked us if it was our first time in and then proceeded to be the kindest person ever and give us as many samples as we wanted. She explained their yogurt-making process, how often they made new batches each week, and the nutrition breakdown of the flavors as well. I sampled the honey lemon flavor, which was nice and smooth. It had that sour taste to it (it IS greek yogurt after all). I also tried the coconut, which was not my choice, the woman said that was her favorite and handed me the sample spoon lol. I don't even like coconut but I thought it was a nice coconut flavor. My mom decided to order a small container of the peanut butter flavor and the honey date flavor. She added honey granola on top. I also ordered the caramel flavor and honey date flavor, with granola and banana slices on top. My brother ordered the strawberry shortcake smoothie. The yogurt was creamy and tasty. The peanut butter was by far my favorite. I felt that the caramel and the honey date kind of tasted the same, so mixed together it worked fine. The granola was crunchy and sweet, and the banana slices were perfectly ripe. My brother loved his strawberry shortcake smoothie. The total came out to $26 dollars, which is kind of steep in my opinion, but it is fresh, homemade Greek yogurt with as many toppings as you want essentially. The service we got really bumped this place up to the 5 star rating.
