As an avid hobby baker, I am thrilled to live close enough to visit this store often. I've been to a dozen cake stores in MA and RI and none compare to Party Cake Party Cake in terms of selection and price. Need fondant? A special cake pan? Boxes for cakes? 500 cupcake liners? Decorations for your next birthday party? Disco dust? Novelty gift items? Honestly I've never gone in and not found what I needed. The prices are terrific. The staff is super nice. After my first few visits they greeted me by name and are always willing to help me find what I need, even ordering random things for me if I wanted something really wild or specific that I had planned to order online.
So why only 4 stars? The place is a hot mess. It looks scary on the outside and it smells like my grandmothers house. It's what would happen if a hoarder owned a party/cake store. It's jam packed with stuff and, while organized, you do have to dig a bit through decades worth of stuff that never sold to find what you need. If something doesn't sell they leave it on the shelf for decades until someone buys it. There is no clearance. But if you need a Wilton pan shaped like a Cabbage Patch kid circa 1983, party decorations with Rainbow Brite, or a book on decorating from the 1970s, then you're sure to find it here. read more
