    An early Mother’s Day dessert was delightful experience. My mother, sister, and sister law have never been and went with dessert on the mind, and they did not disappoint. We each ordered a different slice of cake so we could try a little of each, still had plenty to take home. The sparkle lavender lemonade and petunia punch was refreshing and delicious non alcoholic beverage. We are already planning our next reservation.

    Definitely get the fries over the salad - otherwise, a 10/10 experience. So happy I was able to celebrate my graduation here!

    Personally, I drove 2 hours one way to have dinner and dessert here. I would not go back. It is a cute restaurant, but the food was subpar. Their cakes, by the way, do not have traditional buttercream - it's like it is whipped and is not my favorite. My table ordered 6 pieces of cake and they are all like that, it was disappointing to say the least. Definitely overpriced. I knew that going into it, but I could have made the same quality at my house. It was fine. Pricing was NOT worth it. The ambiance would have been cute for a bachelorette or bridal party dinner, but not for an everyday dinner.
    The Cake Bake Shop - Carmel City CenterResponded today
    Hello Cassie, We are disappointed that your visit did not meet your expectations. Our buttercream frosting is a Swiss meringue buttercream, which has a 6% higher butterfat content than standard American buttercream, which is why the consistency differs. We are also disappointed that you did not fully enjoy your food. If you have time to provide additional feedback regarding the food you ordered, we would appreciate the opportunity to identify areas that may need to be improved. We hope to welcome you back in the future to try a cake with a different frosting type that may be more to your liking. Warmly, The Cake Bake Shop

    Service was extremely slow tonight with other tables demanding our servers attention. And there were several kiddos running wild in the restaurant which detracted from our experience. Somewhat disappointed in Cake Bake overall tonight.
    The Cake Bake Shop - Carmel City CenterResponded today
    Hello Kimberly, We are disappointed that your recent visit did not meet our usual high standards. While busy nights can affect service times, we never want that to impact the experience of our guests. We will pass along your feedback to our management team to ensure that we are maintaining the high standards we hold for ourselves. We hope to welcome you back to improve upon your recent visit.

    Took our adult daughter for her birthday - had never been to the Carmel location. WOW. Yes it's a bit pricey but the portion sizes more than make up for that. The food was phenomenally good. And the cake is simply to die for. Will definitely find a reason to do again!
