    I was there celebrating my birthday. I loved all the decorations the wait staff's clothing reminded me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. The cake was amazing!

    I no doubt was the only senior citizen celebrating her birthday this evening as we were surrounded by delighted children and parents enthralled by the magical setting. But we certainly enjoyed our adult cocktails and delicious entrees and, of course, wonderful coconut cake. Lots of leftovers will allow us to again savor this special meal .

    Went to Cake Bake to celebrate daughter’s success. Our food was excellent, service was great, ambience was wonderful. We loved our cake and got a piece to go. Exceeded my expectations for food and service - we assumed the cake would be stellar but was pleasantly surprised by delicious food.

    First time visitor. Stopped in from out of town. Shop was cute. Menus dirty. Host staff rude. All six standing in the lobby staring and waiting for tables to be bussed. Server robotic in greetings and responses. Food was good and served in timely fashion. The room was beyond noisy. Could not hear ourselves speak. Would not return to the Carmel location. Maybe Broad ripple. Manager made obligatory stop at table but when I responded things were “fine” he couldn’t say “great” fast enough and leave. We got dessert to go because I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

    Barbara was SO SWEET and thoughtful. She made my 6 year old’s day with the pixie dusting and candle on her birthday cake. Overall, it was a great experience (as always), but it was my daughter’s first time and it was so special. Thanks so much Cake Bake team!
