    Nice dinner with a friend. Lemon & blueberry cake was dry. Gumbo was delicious but could be served warmer.

    Decorations are showing signs of wear and old age. Service was inattentive and formulaic. Dinner and dessert was mediocre at best

    My husband and I went for my birthday. It's so beautifully decorated and the host's do such a great job of setting the table ahead of time and making it special for you! Our server was very kind and helpful. We ordered the cookie dough cake and the coffee toffee pie. The pie was delicious!! My husband liked the cake, but I'm not a huge cookie dough fan. I do love their other cakes though from past visits!

    Arrived on a Wednesday about 6pm for a reservation for my wife and me. Was seated in patio area and quickly realized that it was very noisy with many kids, some having birthday parties. Went to the hostess to see if we could be seated in the main area (less kids—more quiet). Was told it would be a two hour wait. Asked why when there was no one else waiting and I was told there were other reservations. Apparently our OpenTable reservation doesn’t count. Tolerated the noisy dinner with my wife. Food was not as good as our previous visits—lemon piccata chicken with pasta was dry as a bone. Had to ask for sauce. They must have forgotten to put that on. Nice server but the kitchen was not very fast on what seemed to be casual evening. Manager did take the chicken off the bill which was nice, but didn’t make up for the atmosphere around our dinner. We’ve enjoyed multiple visits at Cake Bake in the past but this time it has given us pause about returning. General feeling is that things have gone downhill.
