Used to.think.cake and bake where good .
Untill my son and son in law ordered there wedding cake from.there for the 16th.of April.this year .
They paid for it to be a certain way and had to.pay extra .
When the cake was cut it was completely wrong .
So.the whole bottom tier no one ate .
But cake and bake have offered the a 50 gift card which is a joke considering the cake cost nearly 400 pound
Even.sent prof into cake and bake it.was wrong but they take no accountability.
My.advice do not order a wedding cake from.there

Walked in served straight away

Walked in served straight away. Ordered the cake I wanted, made while I waited, decorated lovely.
This is the third cake I have got from this place.
Staff are always polite, helpful and attention to detail.
Will definitely buying from here again.

Parking right next to store, so less chance of walking a distance and dropping the cake. Also comes in a very sturdy cake box.

I asked for a recommendation for a chocolate cake for my wife’s birthday, but unfortunately the cake we received had no chocolate taste and no chocolate cream inside. It was extremely disappointing.

We have never had such a bad cake before. It was honestly quite unpleasant, especially considering that it was supposed to be a chocolate cake.

To be completely honest, even the £7 Belgian chocolate cake from Waitrose tastes ten times better and actually contains chocolate.

This was a very disappointing experience, particularly for such an important occasion.

Never go there again

AVOID

I have been a loyal customer of Cakes and Bakes for a long time and used to consider them the best in London. Unfortunately, my recent experience was a total letdown. The quality just wasn’t there—the sponge was dry and the flavors felt muted compared to the high standard they used to set. It’s sad to see such a great spot lose its touch. I hope they get back to their original recipe soon."

I placed an online order…

I placed an online order on a Saturday for a Monday 3pm collection. I arrived at 3.45 and no cake was there and was told I’d have to wait til 5/5.30pm.
I had travelled from Camden nw1 to southall and no had tried to make contact before hand to alert me to the delay in the cakes arrival. I was quite irritated by this as I had other things to do before other shops closed which were no in the area of the cake shop.

Irresistible Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake

Ordered the Irresistible Lotus Biscoff
Cheesecake. Arrived in time and with the Happy Birthday message on the top. I had lots of positive feedback on the taste of the cake. It was delicious and good value for money. The only thing that could be improved is the lack of customer service and delivery updates. However, the store did get in touch just before it arrived.
