I ordered a custom cake from Minx Cakes for a 50th birthday celebration. The pressure was on for me to get a spectacular cake and Mikka delivered! From initial contact to pickup, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Let's start at the end... the cake was PERFECT. It looked and tasted wonderful, and that alone deserves 5 stars. Going back to first contact, Mikka was responsive and listened closely to what I wanted. She gave me some excellent advice on how to approach what I wanted, and was great about providing options. The quote was very detailed and completely accurate. Her communication along the way was great throughout, and I was so pleased with the outcome. When it came time for the party, the attendees and the person of honor were wowed by the look and taste of the cake and everyone who has seen pics has been blown away. Overall a great experience! read more

Got a full refund for mediocre product. Didn't feel right to just sweep this away. Good service, responsive, and timely, but be wary of stellar 5 star reviews. read more

Mikka was lovely to work with! I was so happy with her beautiful custom cake recipes that worked for a group that consisted of a vegan, an egg allergy, and someone who was allergic to hazelnuts, pecans, and walnuts. She worked with me on what I wanted the design and flavors to be, and they came out amazing. Crowd pleasers all around, and gorgeous too! read more

We went to a small business to support and this cake place had good reviews. Unfortunately we were grossly overcharged for very small 10 inch cake. Our daughter turned 22 and wanted a marvel themed cake. We had to pay in full before even viewing it. My daughter is very kind and not one to comment negatively but she knew how much we were charged. A 10 inch cake for just under $300. Our daughter said it looked cute but "rough." I asked her to let me know how it tasted. She said it barely had any frosting and was very dry. I can understand upcharging for an artisan cake. We did not get a quality cake in design or taste. It looked homemade but not quality homemade. I don't understand why one would charge extremely high price when the skill set just isn't there. Very disappointed and would not recommend. read more

We recently had celebrated our partner's late birthday and it was a big hit! They were able to accommodate our lactose allergy and all the cupcakes were so so so good that you couldn't even tell they were vegan. Would definitely come back to reorder! read more

This was such a cool experience, and such an amazing result! I found Minx Cakes when searching for a keto cake for my husband's birthday. The process of ordering was so much fun (doing a phone call and designing the cake from scratch together), the delivery process was super smooth, and the end result was beautiful and delicious. I'm excited for the next one!! read more

This has got to be the coolest freaking cake I have ever seen! Not only did the cake turn out amazing and everyone loved it, but it was also absolutely delicious! The ordering and communication was easy, and my order was not an easy one to handle. We have certain food, preferences and sensitivities, and she was able to work with every single one of them, as well as provided some substitutions I hadn't thought of. This two tiered cake turned out better than I could've hoped, and I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Mikka made an awesome birthday cake for my 2 year old, taking into account all our crazy ideas - he couldn't decide between Peppa Pig, Elmo, and Thomas the Tank Engine so we literally asked for a cake with all three. 5 stars for creativity, service, and taste! read more

We had the most amazing cake ever for our daughters 2nd birthday! I had a lot of requirements; vegan, gluten free, all organic, coconut sugar sweetened cake, all natural food colorings... not only did Mikka meet all of these, but it was absolutely delicious and incredibly beautifully done! It was a small party so I ordered a small cake, however, I wish I had a whole extra cake just for leftovers, because we ate up every last bite Mikka was able to bring it down to the car when we picked it up which was extremely helpful! read more

We really enjoyed the coconut vanilla ice cream cake! I'm not a huge cake person, but the vanilla cashew butter frosting is super light and delicious. We had a few dairy allergies so the coconut ice cream was a perfect and unique substitute. Mikka is super easy to work with and is there to make a cake exactly how you want it. read more

Mikka made a beautiful ice cream cake for my daughter's birthday. However, as Paul Hollywood says, a cake needs to look good AND taste amazing. That's where the cake fell flat. Parts of the sponge had a dried out, cardboard-y texture, that even my sugar-loving daughter didn't like. Also, when we cut into the cake, the ice cream pooled out, almost entirely melted. This was despite putting the cake straight into the freezer for an hour after our arrival home/before the party, as instructed. I guess Mikka must have been decorating the cake right before pickup. This did not feel very professional, especially given the high price. We are not planning to buy from here again. read more

Definitely order your cakes from here. We wanted something spooky and gory for Halloween and she took every one of our requests to heart while making the most delicious cake I've ever eaten. It was a chocolate tiramisu with whipped cream mascarpone and I'm still dreaming of it. Pick up was also extremely easy and timely. Thank you Mikka! read more

I cannot believe I was able to find this place in such a short amount of time. I had a last minute party and needed to purchase a cake ASAP. I only had 3 days before the party. What made this hard was the fact that it needed to be vegan. I was emailing every bakery place I could find that was vegan near my area. There wasn't really much luck with too short of a notice. When I called this place, they told me they can make the cake within 3 days. Anxiety disappeared after they said yes. When they asked how I wanted to cake, I had absolutely no idea. I was more concerned about finding a cake rather than how it looks. The cake had to be a strawberry vanilla cake. She sent two photo reference photos and I choose one. When I got the cake, it looked EXACTLY like the photo she sent me. I was flabbergasted when I saw the cake. Honestly, I am so glad the other bakeries rejected me because the cake that Minx made for the party was delicious!!!! The cake was moist. The filling wasn't too sweet. The icing was the best icing I've ever had. I wish I purchased a larger cake but I guess that means I'll be coming back for more! read more

To describe Mikka's cakes in one word, AMAZING. I reached out to Mikka on a day's notice. I didn't think she could pull it off, but she knocked it out of the park. Not only was I late, but the requirements for the cake were to be gluten and dairy-free. From the get-go, Mikka was accommodating and made my cake a priority. She saved the day. Now, let's talk about her cake. It was a triple-layered, guava, strawberry buttercream white cake. She made a very unique design that fit my needs, one of her splatter cakes, with an artistic flair. All of my guests raved about the cake. Thank you again, Mikka. read more

I'm ordering a SECOND cake from Mikka because of how good this one was. In short: it looked great and got a room full of people commenting, mouths full of cake, that it surprisingly tasted good too -- it's not just eye candy. Mikka is a delight to work with. She has a lot of ideas to help take a vision from three vague words into something solid, that clearly reflects a lot of hard-won experience. I am very impressed and truly feel every penny was worth it. read more

Mikka is my go-to cake maker! She's such a pleasure to work with and I love that she offers such healthy options, like gluten free, sugar free, vegan, organic fruit, etc... It's really hard to find anyone else who puts so much attention and care into making sure that their cakes fit healthy lifestyles. I ordered a gluten-free, sugar-free cake with a relatively ornamental geode made out of rock salt, and Mikka nailed it. She was really helpful in thinking through the concept, helped me brainstorm when I wasn't sure exactly which direction to take it, and took the time to make sure it was exactly as I was requesting. Plus she's incredibly experienced so she had lots of good ideas I would never have thought of! She also works with a florist to be able to put beautiful flowers on it as well if you want. Definitely recommend! read more

This individual has very poor business practices. My fiancé had requested a quote and paid a deposit. However, there was no contract, nor was there mention of what happens should we change our minds. When my fiancé informed me of the cost for a small cake (that serves only 4) and 2 dozen cupcakes, I felt it was exorbitant especially when other reputable bakeries charge less than half for a comparable product. When my fiancé requested she cancel the order (2 weeks before the delivery date), she declined to refund the money stating she had already purchased the flowers and supplies. ($240+ for marigolds and flour/sweetener?! Mind you that $240 is the 50% deposit!) I requested an itemized receipt, and she replied, "that's a service I don't provide". She offered a credit for another cake (seriously? we've already determined that the service is overpriced). She has since ignored our messages and ignored a letter from our attorney requesting a refund. UPDATE: We have reported this business to the Better Business Bureau. AVOID this business. read more

This is the stuff dreams are made of. Truly, I dreamt about this cake before AND after I got to have it and eat it too... This gluten-free and vegan cake was created for me by Mikka according to my design and tastes: a vegan buttercream, slightly boozy, with cosmic space and edible golden glitter, the Aquarius constellation, wolves, minimalist elegance AND complex artistry! The whole thing was delicious AND beautiful... moist, perfect, nutritious too! It was not too sweet and a real hit at the party--- the main event! I was impressed. My party was too! We cut the cake with a sword after wishes were made... and I took my time with my wishes because this cake wasn't just a cake... it was magic. And the magic is real... Mikka makes these cakes as art pieces imbued with something special. From co-creating the idea together and how she pulled it off with style and deliciousness... it was rich and hearty so I was able to eat it for breakfast the next day as well! Yum! Thanks Mikka! Highly highly recommend working with Minx Cakes to get your dream dessert for your special events. PS: Mikka's can-do-anything everything-is-possible attitude makes it extra special... her confidence in her work is worthy to be called the BEST! read more

We went to a friends birthday party and we're blown away by the cake! I usually do not let my children or myself eat cake at birthday parties, but when I learned that this cake was made special with health conscious ingredients, I was ok with it.

My mom was turning 92 years old and we wanted a cake made with no eggs due to family dietary reasons. Time was running out to order an eggless cake, so I checked on Yelp and found Minx Custom Made Cakes. I sent a text to the owner Mikka and she got back to me pretty quickly. She was very accommodating and made the time to bake my mom's cake at a very short notice. I provided Mikka with all details of what we wanted, vanilla eggless cake with raspberry filling, butter cream frosting and plenty of pink roses, colorful flowers and hearts. Mikka went beyond my expectations and designed a gorgeous 10" cake with two layers covered in beautiful flowers and hearts with the message on top to my mom for her special birthday. When my mom looked at the cake she immediately loved it and commented how beautiful, and of course wanted a piece of cake. We are fortunate to have been able to celebrate my mother's 92nd birthday, and presenting her with a bouquet of butter cream flowers put a smile on her face. It was all worth it. Everyone admired the cake and the taste was amazing. Very fresh and delicious. Mikka is an artist and master cake baker. Thank you Mikka. read more

Mikka is truly so talented and so lovely! She made sure to make all of the little details shine on my birthday cupcakes. I tried her lavender/cardamom/vanilla cupcakes with lemon buttercream-- they are to die for! Perfectly balanced flavors, the fluffiest buttercream, and the cutest designs. I also had a pint of dark chocolate sea salt truffles that were just as delightful. My suggestion is to get more than you think you need, because everyone will want seconds! Mikka, thanks for making my birthday weekend! read more

We worked with Mikka to design a rainbow cake for my daughter's birthday, and she did an incredible job! I threw her an extra challenge by asking her to use only natural food dyes, which don't work as well as the artificial ones, but she still managed to create beautiful vibrant colors, and a delicious cake as well! The frosting was soft, and not crazy sweet. (It even had rainbow colors on the inside, but we forgot to take a photo) I would highly recommend Minx cakes for any custom cake order. read more

I'm over the moon happy with Minx Cakes! For my best friend's 40th birthday, I asked Mikka to help me recreate his 8th birthday cake. I only had a single grainy/blurry photo, and the knowledge that it was funfetti. Mikka chatted with me on the phone, made a game plan, and then executed on this recreation so perfectly that you wouldn't believe 32 years had gone by. The birthday "boy" was absolutely delight, as was his mother (the original cake's architect), who he had flown out for the festivities. The cake was delicious, and so perfectly moist; definitely the most elevated funfetti I've ever tasted. I know asking a cake artist like Mikka to recreate a charmingly wonky homemade cake is like asking Rembrandt to draw Bart Simpson, but Mikka handled the whole thing with the utmost care and concern, and was genuinely excited to help me make my bestie's day the special it could be. read more
