    Amazing time with my mom, niece, and sister-in-law! It was a perfect place to treat them to a special girls night out for an after Christmas celebration. The food was fantastic and the cake was incredible. Great service!!!!

    We love the Cake Bake shop for its unique experience and gorgeous decor. It’s a magical experience. I wish the items for sale in the shop were more affordable. $50 for a tea cup is a lot.

    5 of us dined there for supper tonight. All food was delicious. We ordered Chicken Piccata (2), Shrimp Po’boy, Croque Madam & Roasted Salmon. My only small issue was that the salmon was a bit overcooked. We also ordered drinks, beverages, & desserts. Mixed drinks were enjoyed. L’oriental hot tea was a favorite. Hot chocolate was perfection. Apple pie (2) was devoured as well as peanut butter pie. A lovely place for a lovely family dinner.
