We Take The Cake

I got to visit a fabulous hidden gem. My brother has ordered many treats, including cakes and cupcakes in the past. We stopped in to get some dessert for Easter Sunday. We got lucky. They had a few beautifully decorated ready to go cakes and cupcakes, but I would recommend ordering ahead of time to make sure you get your hands on some. She also took such care as to wrap the boxes in clear wrap to help keep them as fresh as possible. Take the time when in the area to visit and get a treat from this very clean and well ran friendly bakery. It will not disappoint.

The chocolate Christmas wreath cake was amazing! Super moist and rich, it was the perfect ending to our family meal! The Key Lime Bundt was equally delicious with a dense, moist cake and just the right amount of icing! The service at this location was amazing. All of my questions were answered patiently, I was offered delicious samples and my grandsons were welcomed as they gawked at all the treats in the case!

i ordered this vegan cake through goldbelly for my boyfriends birthday. im so glad i found this bakery because all other bakeries are closed and dont deliver on the date i needed it for. he was so happy and surprised when he received it so im happy. he said the cake was good, rich and fudgy. the cake looks exactly like the pictures

Thank you again for the short notice order and making my Daughters 21st birthday even sweeter!! The cupcakes were beautiful, moist and delicious!! Definitely will be referring and ordering again!!

I have been coming to We Take the Cake for a while, but today I had one of the best experiences ever. Jean was working up front and she was so sweet and helpful. The cake was phenomenal as always!

In March we celebrated Mom's 90th. These 3 'Works of Art' cakes were used as the centerpieces on each table. Spectacular and then very delicious. The floral cascade, a showstopper, was all scrumptious chocolate; one of the pink rosettes was lemon-raspberry (oh my l, yum!) ; the other pink rosette was vanilla & chocolate layers (a delectable combo). A lot of 'Wow's, a lot of cake and not much left! Once they were sliced everyone chose their desired flavor to enjoy. I first enjoyed We Take The Cake at my bridal shower and then as my exquisite custom wedding cake almost 20 years ago and was thrilled to now have another opportunity to enjoy their creations. Easy to work with both Demaris and Jean. Well worth the drive to Fort Lauderdale from Coral Gables! Thank you for being a part of this very special celebration. 💕🌸

WOW! What a cake! I expected it to come out good, but not nearly as amazing as it did, especially in such a short time. It was unbelievable. It was a huge hit at the party. It was too cute to eat, but glad we did. It was so delicious. I loved the cookies and cream filling. People came over to our table to comment on the design. I can't thank you enough. It was outstanding! Also - you guys were so wonderful to work with. I worked with other cake designers in the South Florida area and there's no comparison in both talent and customer service. I will only work with We Take the Cake. Can't wait to have another party. Many thanks!

I have no idea what my cake was supposed to look like (it was ordered by a friend for me). Unfortunately all the ice had melted and so had the cake when it got here, but it still tasted delicious so I'm still giving 5 stars haha. I picked it up the second it was delivered too, I think it likely just sat in the ups facility longer than anticipated. Oh well, it still eats great! 😂

We ordered this through the Goldbelly App. For our birthdays. It was the most delicious, decadent, moist, chocolate cake we’ve ever had. It arrived in perfect packaging, and inside a beautiful box. No wonder this is an award winning place, it is well deserved, and they really do TAKE THE CAKE first place!! Thank you, See you next year 😊

Great cake, great customer service. My wife and I were in Ft. Lauderdale for our anniversary. I did a search for gluten free cakes prior to coming to Florida and this place came up. I called and told them what I wanted. They were very friendly and accommodating. I paid for the cake ahead of time and they set up a time for me to pick it up. We picked it up on a Friday and went back to the hotel. My wife was very surprised and dove right into it as soon as we got back. The cake was delicious!!! It was moist and tasty, if I did not know it was gluten free I would not have known.

FYI: They are not a certified gluten free bakery so if you are Celiac,this may not work for you.

Update: Ordered a gluten free birthday cake. We are in North Carolina. Again customer service was excellent. Placed the order on 8/8/22 for and 8/12 delivery, the cake arrived on 8/13 which was a bummer. I’m not blaming We take the cakes, that’s why they still have a 5 star. UPS totally dropped the ball on this one. Got a notice that it was “out for delivery” on 8/12 then they changed it to “on the way for 8/13”. We take the cakes shipped it out on 8/10, 3 days to go from FL to NC, come on UPS. On the plus side, the cake was packaged well and was moist and delicious. I will definitely order more cakes from them again.

We did wedding tastings with several cake companies in South Florida. We wanted a cake that was beautiful AND delicious, and at first we had a hard time finding a company that delivered on both. We are SO happy we chose We Take the Cake.

My husband designed our cake, providing hand-drawn sketches to Jean and her team. It was inspired by the sunset we got engaged underneath, as well as a sun-themed piece of jewelry he’d given me we when we were dating. So it was a really special piece of symbolism for our day. The three-tier cake would have an architectural/structural design. The aesthetic was Art Deco and minimal. A design-y, fondant cake but with a monochromatic style that would require simplicity and restraint.

And WOW, we were blown away when we saw the end result. The design was exactly what we dreamed of! Just flawlessly executed. I do not think the photos can even do it justice.

The cake was half key lime raspberry, and half coconut. The flavors were just as good as the tasting, if not better. We Take the Cake absolutely nailed it. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

Baked by Melissa and their sweet creations.
I want to thank your Team for the hard workdays you put in the Morning, Noontime, and Evenings. I have placed 5 orders already with your online Baked by Melissa Mini Cupcakes to send to the people that I love and care about. I have received so many positive reviews that upon receiving these cute little mini cupcakes to hear that they could not stop smiling & the EWWWW AWWWWWW sound while they are eating them. Each family member that I asked told me my favorite was Peanut Butter and Jelly. Another cousin said I love chocolate chip mint, my sister in-laws said she loved all of them! Being that my loved ones enjoyed what they received sooooooo much and they did not stop thanking me for the treat. I contacted Baked by Melissa Customer Service Team and asked if I can get a treat myself being that my birthday was on May 12, 2023, and I was turning the big 55. I spoke with Rosalie | Customer Happiness Associate and she took the time to email me and told me I will receive a 100 sweet reward for my birthday so I can treat myself. I also wanted to experience what everyone else was talking about. That week I placed my order, I received my shipment to enjoy with my husband. I ordered it to arrive after my Birthday being that I was out of town. Online you can also choose the date you want it to arrive to your home which was May 16th, 2023. When I placed my order, I had to pick cupcakes that my husband is not allergic to. He is allergic to chocolates and nuts, so I ordered a few different flavors for him. Baked by Melissa has a variety of flavors that you can pick and choose. Create your own personal package. You guys’ ROCK!!! This is a nice gift to give to anyone to show that you care about them, and they are loved. My momma always said that people love to sample the little things and how little they are. It’s the little things that bring a smile to our faces… Thank you, Baked by Melissa for your easy to navigate website. You are the 3 “Fs” FABOULUS, FANTASITIC, FOR REAL TEAM!!!!
Here in sunny Florida, we love you guys!!!

We had the strawberry cake it is was super moist. I loved the amount of fresh strawberries inside. Be careful with the size of cake you order, they tend to be on the smaller side. Very happy with the cake! See photos!

My dad ordered me the gluten free dairy free chocolate cake. It was AMAZING!! Truly one of the best cakes I have had! Thank you for making such a decedent cake!

AMAZING!! I bought half a dozen cupcakes (one of each flavor they had) so I could enjoy them all and WOW. So delicious. Buttercream frosting was to die for. The cupcakes were thick and tasty, and I cannot wait to go back for more!

Beautifully decorated chocolate birthday cake delivered as a gift to me in Des Moines from my Houston friend. Best chocolate cake ever! 10 stars

This company was incredible! I walked in, and was able to pick up a last minute cake for my father's birthday. Not only did I receive amazing customer service from the lady at the counter, but the cake was OUTSTANDING! It was the perfect ending to my dad's big 50th birthday! Thank you ladies for being so accommodating!

*Long post alert*
Each year, I take it upon myself to order my own cake for my birthday because after 20+ years of marriage, I've learned if you really want something specific, sometimes you have to take care of it yourself. I do not want grocery store cake bought at the last minute for my birthday. So, after ordering a cake from y’all for my in-laws in August and hearing them rave about how absolutely delicious it was, I decided I’d try one of your cakes for myself this year.
But here’s the tricky part. I’m also trying to lose some of this Covid-19/Year 2020 weight and didn’t want to be left with a large cake for days and the temptation to keep munching on it, long after the celebration with my small family. So, I ordered your fall bouquet cupcakes.
I want to say thank you!!!
Not only were they beautifully decorated and expertly packaged, they were absolutely fantastic and delicious. I ordered the set of 8 so everyone in my family could have two. I’m so torn because even though I’m behaving, I want to order more! That buttercream was perfect and the cake was divine. I have to also confess, I’m not a fan of chocolate cakes because in my experience they can be too dry. But not yours. Yours were perfect.
Thank you for your beautifully, delicious cupcakes and thank you for helping me celebrate my birthday this year.
I look forward to ordering more from you in the (near) future!

Arrived home to find a box with a beautifully wrapped cake for my birthday. Thought it was nice gesture, but how good could it be? Well, it was very good and that is why I am doing this review. The candles were a perfect touch!!

We had our wedding at the Historic Maxwell Room, and We Take the Cake was on their preferred vendor list. And it was a wonderful recommendation. The tasting was a lot of fun, and they made the cake just as I wanted it. It arrived on time, and fed EVERYONE and then some. We got a blended flavor of chocolate and white cake...the chocolate cream cheese was a HIT! So I do recommend it if you're trying to decide. I really liked the simplicity of flavors. I get why people want an array of options, but with cake...it can definitely get out of hand. I loved that there were only a few flavors and combinations to try and we got to try all of them, and then however we wanted the cake was no problem. Really! Check this place out! You won't be disappointed. Photo credit by Coastal Sun and Surf Photography
