We ordered two cakes which traveled with us to the Ozarks for our wedding. The staff worked with us to ensure the cakes were cold and easy to transport (they were not tiered cakes, so I cannot speak to traveling with tiers), as well and working with us to develop our design. Our cakes were delicious and beautiful! We got tons of compliments on both the lemon/raspberry and chocolate/rum, with most guests trying both. Every trip to consult or pay was great. I had to have raspberry buttercream, and they immediately informed us of its limitations for design (the fruit makes it too soft to pipe on) and showed us the texture options, which were lovely. The staff was always friendly, and there was always a beautiful creation to take in, and a tasty treat to take home to remind me why we only did one cake tasting. I highly recommend; we will be coming back for our next cake! read more

This is my favorite place to buy a cake in STL. Their cake and buttercream are both top notch. The cake is dense, but not too dense, and has just the right level of sweetness and moisture. The buttercream is fluffy and natural tasting. Most importantly, they don't slather too much of it on, resulting in a very balanced cake. I used them for my wedding cake, and have been talking all of my engaged friends into getting their wedding cakes from the Cakery too. We still buy cakes here, despite the 40 minute drive in both directions. read more

I absolutely loved my wedding cake from The Cakery. We had a 4-tier cake with both french vanilla and chocolate cake and french vanilla butter cream icing...we got tons of compliments throughout the night. They were very hands-on throughout the whole experience, customizing my cake to what I wanted. They did everything they could to make it as cost effective as possible to fit our budget. I would highly recommend The Cakery for your next event! read more

Got my 40th Birthday cake from here. It was great everyone loved it. Will be back. At least for the cake cups lol. Cake was totally different from any I have had in the past. read more

The Cakery - Best cake I've ever tasted. - Desserts Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I was in a pinch for treats for the office and decided to go with a couple of Ready To Go cakes from here. Admittedly, I didn't have high expectations because pre-made cakes can be a bit iffy (i.e., dry). But, much to my surprise, the cakes were scrumptious, moist, and flavorful and a big hit at work! This place is now permanently on my radar for all cake needs. If Ready To Gos were that good, I can only imagine what they can do with some custom requests! Yummm! read more

I cannot say enough good things about The Cakery. My husband and I had had their cake before and knew that we absolutely wanted them to make our wedding cake and they did not disappoint! We had so many compliments on how delicious our cake was and The Cakery made the process so easy. Our in person consultation was helpful and informative and we left feeling confident in our decision. Our cake was beautiful and tasty! Can't ask for anything more than that! read more

Well, I will start by saying the cupcakes and cake I ordered were tasty. The much disappointment & the reason for the 3 stars is the lack of following directions to my order. We had family over for the sex revealing of our baby. I gave them the envelope with the ultrasound. We didn't find out what it was either. We were finding out with everyone. The lady who took my order was very nice. She seemed to understand what I wanted. If it was a boy it would have blue filling and if it were a girl they would do chocolate chip with strawberry. When we cut the cake all it had was chocolate chip. Really? Funny now, but really confusing when there is no strawberries or blue with it. Luckily we had the cupcakes that had the lightest hint of pink inside of them. Actually, they looked more like beige. Not worth my $70. They looked pretty, but not being able to follow direction is a pretty big deal. read more

I have yet to make a formal visit to The Cakery, however I did pick up a beautiful green cupcake from their stand during the St. Pat's parade. It may have just been that I was drunk, but that little green cupcake hit the spot! I will be going back to check out what else they offer. I've said it before and I'll say it again.....do they offer vegan options?? read more

I hate to act like a princess on my birthday, but I've been spoiled by the cakery! It's my party, and I'll have cakery if I want to! My family got me a birthday cake from here a few years back, and since then, I can't get enough! I order cakes and iced sugar cookies from here anytime I have a festive excuse, they're so good! And the girls that work in there are almost as sweet as the treats they're serving! read more

So I go here with a couple of friends to pick up a birthday cake for our friend's party. The immediately got the cake for us, it had cool colors with a modern design on it, and were very friendly. The store was pristine and they had a ton of baked goods to purchase. I got one of their cookies, and it was mmm mmm good. The party was a blast, everyone loved the cake. The icing was delicious! read more

Amazing cake. We found The Cakery over the internet as we were coming from Denver, CO to St. Louis for our wedding. We picked out 5 flavors and everyone loved them all. They were a hit at our wedding. Amazing work on decorating the cake too. Thank you! read more

They have amazing cakes here! They're made perfectly and even are aesthetically pleasing! I had so much enjoyment from their store and the cake I bought! I would come again for any special event! read more

After having The Cup weekly in college, my now wife and I knew we had to have The Cakery do our wedding cake. There was no doubt in our minds our wedding cake was going to be delicious and we and our guests were not disappointed! Our cake was delicious and the guest enjoyed all of our flavors immensely! We had one kitchen cake left over and took it to our farewell picnic and it was gone in an hour! Not only was it delicious but the design was gorgeous. We told them our budget and they worked with us wonderfully to create a cake that looked and tasted beautiful. Thank you, Cakery for letting us have a little taste of the beginning of our relationship at our wedding! read more

I highly recommend that you order cakes for special occasions from The Cakery! I have ordered three cakes from The Cakery, and have received beautiful & fun creations each time. You should order a few weeks in advance. They were very helpful via phone and email to ensure that the design was exactly what I wanted, and broke down the pricing so that it was very clear. The cakes are delicious - my favorite is the strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream! I order it every year for my birthday. The fondant bows are great too! I have ordered both round and square cakes with the bows, and they look very elegant, and do not necessarily have to look like presents. I didn't want boring wedding or birthday cake styles for my birthday cakes, and the cakes they made were definitely more modern and fun. The cake is moist and flavorful, but not overwhelming or artificial. If you like The Cupcakery, you will probably love The Cakery even more because, in my opinion, the cake is better. Hope you give it a try! read more

Hands down the best red velvet cake around!!!! The staff is always so hopeful whether I am talking to them on the phone or in person! Nothing negative to say about it!!!! read more

The Tripe Chocolate "Ready to Go" cake was a huge crowd pleaser. Even for people who aren't big on chocolate!

My daughters birthday cake turned out great and their lemon cake is to die for Ericka is there a lot and it's nice to see the owner. She really cares about quality. read more

We used The Cakery for our wedding cake. I don't have a single negative thing to say about it. The ladies working there were all friendly, personable, and helpful. They took the time to find out exactly what we wanted and gave us lots of ideas and options. I never felt like I was inconveniencing them. The finished product tasted exactly like the samples we had received (freakin amazing), and the cake was gorgeous. If you are in need of a special event cake and choosing a bakery, make The Cakery one of your first stops. There is no way you will be disappointed. read more

These ladies are fantastic! While looking for someone to make our wedding cake we encountered a lot of groans and a lack of willingness to take on the job. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into The Cakery and they checked their schedule, said they were free that day. They set us up with some cake and icing samples looked at the picture of our design and said sure just let us know which flavors you like etc. I liked all the flavors of course. On our wedding day the cake was delivered and set up and looked EXACTLY like our picture. They were so pleasant every time I spoke with them too; very friendly. Their cakes are delicious and the execution of the design was flawless! We highly recommend The Cakery. read more

Awful experience. We had ordered a 2 tier cake for a wedding reception and when we arrived to pick the cake up they told us "oh, just a minute we need to arrange it." I thought they meant the box. They meant they needed to put the tiers together, put icing on the cake to cover up the hole between the tiers and put it on the stand. Once they had finished that, they started to put it in the box. I had to remind them that they also needed to put polka dots all over the cake, which had been on the order. After checking the order and realizing that that was true they responded with "oh, we'll do that real quick." They barely apologized, threw everything together quickly and messily, and then the cake didn't even taste that good. I would NOT recommend this place for any important event. They did not take our cake seriously at all. read more

The best iced sugar cookie and cupcake I've had. They use real buttercream icing and the cookie had the perfect balance of chewiness and crispness. Re: cupcake--Other places (I won't name) tend to go over the top with fancy flavored icings on fancy flavored oversized cupcakes which always seem to lack the quality that the Cakery has mastered. Never disappointing. read more

drove past this place for a year stopped in on sat bought chocolate cake for 32.00 the worst cake 1 slice an we through it out

My husband and I recently ordered a cake for our wedding reception. We provided them, a week in advance, with the cake stand, cake topper and greenery that we wanted to be on the cake. We even sent them a picture with instructions on how we wanted the cake to be decorated. We arrived the day of the event to pick up the cake only to find that the cake had only been iced and not decorated. When they eventually found the decorations that we had given them we asked the girl if she could decorate it for us and she replied, "I can try". Once she started putting the greenery around the top layer she mentioned that she wouldn't be able to do it around the bottom layer because of the box it was in. My husband and I then left the bakery with a half decorated cake and had to finish putting the decorations on at the venue. To pay $125 for a cake and not have the job totally complete is kinda poor business. The only reason we didn't say anything while we were there is because we didn't want it to ruin our day. Yes, the cake did taste good...which is why I gave 3 stars. If they didn't want to decorate it for us then they should've told us that the week before when we brought all the stuff to them. Probably won't be ordering another cake from The Cakery!!! read more

I absolutely love The Cakery! I remember when it first opened in my neighborhood 12 years ago, we were so tickled to have a place close by to indulge our occasional cravings for something sweet, moist and buttery - their cakes! If I remember correctly, they used to sell some individual cupcakes, cookie/icing "sandwiches", cake/icing "sandwiches", and the amazing cake in a cup. (My guilty pleasure). Here recently, i only see the cake in a cup and the occasional cookie sandwich. Their cakes are always so moist and flavorful and the cake icing/frosting is one of the very best I have ever tasted. You can taste the real butter they use. (Not that awful shortening that other bakeries and grocery stores use, yuck) My niece used them for her wedding and loved them. Service is always with a smile. Everyone in the shop says hello and are so friendly. I only get in there about once a month for my cake in a cup, but I always leave feeling like I was welcomed and my patronage was appreciated. The only negative about The Cakery is the fact that they don't have a small area for customers to eat a treat and drink a coffee. They have or had "The Cup" in Central West End, but I love Dogtown. So, Cakery, please expand somehow and give us a tiny little coffee corner with more treats. Yum! Thanks. read more

Great little bakery in historic Dogtown. i love stopping by and grabbing one of their cakes in a cup.The moistness of the cake is perfect... Second to none. read more

Our wedding cake was exactly what we wanted and everyone loved it! We just chose the French vanilla with strawberry filling and buttercream frosting... so it was pretty standard!! read more

You don't have to look any further for a wedding cake. Believe me, it was the first I saw at our daughter's wedding this weekend. I actually stopped and thought it was perfect. As they say, it took my breath away.Simply elegant. And it tasted even better. Had rave reviews from our guests!!!!! read more

You can't go wrong! I was going to order a cake from another bakery and found this on yelp, saw the reviews and decided to take a chance. I ordered a red velvet with buttercream frosting for my niece's birthday. The cake was nice and moist and the buttercream wasn't too sweet. It was a bit pricey but definitely worth it. I will order all my special occasion cakes from here from now on. read more

The Cakery made our wedding cake, and I can't recommend this bakery enough! Everyone who works there is extremely friendly and accommodating. Their cake tasting was also a delight, because they didn't charge for the tasting like so many other bakeries do! The cake was delicious and our guests raved about it at the wedding (especially out of town guests who haven't tasted its goodies before). If you need a cake for an event, definitely book The Cakery--their cakes are amazing, and the bakery is very reliable! read more

The designs are wonderful, the lemon cake is heavenly and the sugar cookies....can't eat just one! Love their treats!

Although the cake is wonderful, I would not recommend The Cakery to anyone. They lost our payment which caused some unneeded stress before our wedding, but for the most part, they handled that pretty well. The owner was very friendly about the whole situation to where I probably would have given them another chance in the future. The icing on the cake (literally) was when we walked into our wedding reception to a completely undecorated cake. We met with The Cakery and showed them a picture of what we wanted. It was something very simple. A cake topper (that we ordered) and a few fresh flowers placed around it (also ordered by us). The day before the wedding, I called The Cakery and asked if I could text or email a picture of the cake I showed them previously just to be on the safe side. They asked me to email them a picture which I did. Later that day, I delivered my cake topper and flowers to our venue as planned so that everything would be ready to go for them to decorate when they delivered and decorated the cake the next day. Imagine our surprise when we got to our reception and saw the cake topper sitting on top of our cake and the flowers in the vase they were delivered in sitting next to it. Apparently, our meeting about the cake as well as the email I sent the day before were completely disregarded. It's baffling to me that they would leave a cake undecorated especially after confirming our design with them several times. It seems like placing the flowers ON the cake would be a no brainer. As I said, the cake tasted amazing, but the overall experience was extremely disappointing, to say the least. read more

Generally, I go to another well known St. Louis bakery for all of my cakes; however, The Cakery happened to be closer to my house and the location of the event so I decided that even though it was about $5-$10 more, I'd try it. That was the best decision I made! To start with, I needed a cake for a nautical themed baby shower and I had absolutely no idea what I wanted on the cake. Everyone at the bakery was very nice and sat down with me to discuss all of my options. They were incredibly patient with me and even drew diagrams so I would have a visual reference of what it would look like. When I picked it up it came out looking better than I had imagined. The cake itself was incredibly delicious! It was moist and the buttercream icing was just sweet enough without being overly sweet like some places have their icings. I received compliments on the cake from every guest at the shower and the mom-to-be loved it. I will never go to another bakery again. read more
