Creme De La Creme

These guys did our wedding cake and was by far one of our top two vendors for the even. They were the only vendor to come at or under budget what we sign up for. We also had them do a Supreme Cake for our cat who made Supreme Grand Champion. It was cat shaped and a HUGE hit. We forgot to grab some cards to hand out with the cake as everyone wanted to know where we got it. Both times we got the Peach Passion cake and it is AMAZING!

We highly recommend Crème de la Crème cakes for your wedding cake. We chose them for our wedding day in April 2016. Try to attend one of their tasting events. We set up a private tasting. All of their flavors are delicious and it was a tough choice, but we went with chocolate and lemon. The cake was just our style and everyone deemed it gorgeous and delicious!

I called from Texas to order a birthday cake and their customer service hands-​down is the best customer service I have ever received. Their cakes are phenomenal, they went above and beyond and they have so many options it’s on unbelievable!!! I have this image in my head of what the cake might look like and it was honestly much better than what I had imagined. They were so understanding of what I wanted and every time I called to make any minor changes they were so patient with me. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone I possibly know.

I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone! The person who’s in charge of email/​phone is the biggest b****!!! I should just copy and paste the email I had with «her»! They charge for the little things and bad customer service!!! DO NOT GO HERE. I recommend Baked in Seattle.

Love stopping into their shop on special occasions. Everything is delicious! We bought mini cupcakes a few time for bday parties… Yummy and unique favors. The personal sized dessert are amazing! The staff is super friendly.

This place is amazing. A friend get’s her kids cakes here and I loved them so then I ordered my son’s (Big Hero 6) and they did an awesome job. I asked them to make it extra moist and they did! The filling and frosting/​icing is delish! Not too sweet but not bland either. I’ve also had their cupcakes there and they are to die for! I’m going here from now for my cakes and cupcakes. The service is great too, I sent them the Big Hero 6 pictures and they printed them on the cake. And we bounced ideas of each other. I’m a very happy customer (so is my kiddo)!

Cakes were okay. My favorite was the white chocolate, dark chocolate and raspberry cake.

My husband and I ordered a very simple 3 tier banana with cream cheese/​strawberry filling wedding cake. When we came to the open house the cake was absolutely delicious; moist, rich, and the filling was just the right amount. Excited, we placed our order right then and there.
We brought a photo with us, and showed them EXACTLY the cake we wanted them to copy — we said «ROUND». I remember on the original order form he marked the cake as ROUND. Now that I look back at all our contracts, they mysteriously (my fault for not noticing earlier) were changed to SQUARE — ugh. Imagine my surprise on my wedding day! Oh well, my florist did her magic and made the cake gorgeous either way.
The major disappointment was how terrible the cake tasted. It was absolutely nothing like our «tasting» had been! When we «cut the cake» and tried it I realized how dry and plain it was! No one tasted the banana, and the filling amount was laughable. I later found out that almost no one bothered to finish their cake slice — what a waste of money.
Buyer Beware, and ALWAYS quadruple check your contract!

My mom surprised me with a beautiful birthday cake on August 9^th. It was lemon cake with raspberry cream frosting and layers. It tasted light and delicious. Not overly sweet. The beautiful edible stargazer lilies were made so well, they looked real. I was amazed. Just beautiful and worth every penny. I hope to be ordering another cake for my wedding. Thank you for such a great cake! :)

I ordered a custom Sesame Street cake for my sons second birthday & I must say I was pretty impressed! I emailed them a picture of how I wanted the cake & when I went to go pick it up 2 weeks later it was exactly what I wanted! They even boxed it in a nice little box which fit perfectly. We decided to get strawberry cream cake, right when we cut into it I already knew it was moist, they used barvarian cream & fresh strawberries which I was kind of nervous about since the strawberries I’ve recently tasted we’re sour. But these we’re perfect not too sweet, the cake literally melted in my mouth & everyone at the party loved it that there was none left! I’m going for the tiramisu next time ;)
Other than that I had a good experience with them, they we’re really kind & caring. Whenever I had a question they quickly replied through email which some places don’t, they even call you to remind & confirm. Also they we’re pretty flexible about my payment! Pricing wise is reasonable not too expensive. I would definitely recommend this place if your looking for a good quality cake for a great price! p. s. the cupcakes are yummy too! Looking forward to order soon :)

I stopped in for Valentines Day to grab a couple treats for my sweetie and ended up with more than we needed because I just couldn’t decide! Everything looked beautiful and I’m so happy with what I took home. If you stop in and they have the raspberry mousse with fresh berries, absolutely take it home! I know the tiramisu looks great, and we live in Seattle so, coffee. Obviously. But choose the raspberry mousse, it will go above your expectations.
I did get the tiramisu also, and so you don’t think I’m bashing it, it was amazing. Completely, and to the last bit of chocolate cup.
My other favorite if I’m getting a cake is the Lemon Raspberry. The decorations are perfect, and it’s light and not overly sweet. Perfection. Does it sound like I’m here too often?

I walked in knowing I wanted a german chocolate cake for my mom’s 60^th. I wasn’t disappointed at all. I left a lot of the design choices up to them with the colors I chose and the message on top. I ordered the 6″ double layer cake, which was all I needed for a small dinner party of 6.
When I picked up the cake, I was thrilled by the details they added with flowers and sparkles I didn’t even think of or discuss with the baker. The cake was $ 42 and I was happy to pay.
The cake was not as light and fluffy as I like but the flavor and richness of a german chocolate cake was there. The presentation was beautiful, and there was more than enough for 6 people. I would gladly go back.
Their shop has a LOT of goodies to purchase right away. My 3 year old daughter devoured her mini chocolate cupcake and the macaroons were the best I have ever had. Ever!

I don’t know about their other pastries but DO NOT order your wedding cake from them. They do not care about customer service and whether you are happy with your cake or not. My wedding planner and I emailed a picture and also showed him in person exactly what I wanted. I ordered a 3 tiered cake with a beautiful pearly pink sheen, as shown exactly in the picture we gave him. He told me that he would have to spray the cake to get it that way and it was a little extra. I was fine with that.
When I saw my cake at my wedding, I was mortified. It was just a plain, all white cake. No pink pearly sheen that I apparently paid extra for. The decorations were barely visible because it was all white. I was so disappointed. My wedding planner felt terrible, so she tried to shine a pink light on it and added more flowers to give it more color. After the wedding, I called to let him know that was not what we ordered. Instead of being sympathetic, he argued with me til the end and raised his voice. His argument was that on the contract, it said all white and that it was our fault for not correcting it. On the contract, he wrote: White sprayed with Perl. You would think the «Perl» is the pink sheen he said he had to spray, to get it that way. So basically, he writes the contract, makes a mistake, and then it’s our fault for not correcting his mistake. He took absolutely no accountability and was very rude about it.
If you’re ordering a wedding cake, MAKE SURE you double check every little detail. It doesn’t matter if you brought him pictures, have emails with him to prove your conversation, or have a third party (wedding planner, etc) as I did, to validate what you ordered. He will argue til the end and show you no remorse.

I recently stopped by Crème De La Crème during their retail hours and bought a mini berry cheesecake and a pistachio cupcake.
They were both heaven on earth. The epitome of European pastries!
The frosting on the cupcake was as light as air with a hint of sweet.
If you like grocery store cakes and pastries, then Crème De La Crème is not for you. Unless, you are ready to step up and eat a divine dessert.

Bought the groupon for $ 16 and trust me I would never pay this price for Crème de la Crème cupcakes again. Or even half that price for a dozen cupcakes. The cupcakes weren’t that spectacular, and I felt rushed the second I called to place an order, walked in to pick up my order and walked out the door. Very minimal customer service.

We got my cake for my birthday there.
It was absolutely delicious!
Vanilla cake with marionberry mousse and marionberry spread. The cake itself was fluffy, nicely flavored (definitely NOT styrofoam). The marionberry mousse and spread was light, not too sweet with a hint of tartness. Perfect combination! All enveloped in a light-​whipped fondant.
I’ve had cakes from WholeFoods, Crème de la Crème are better. And I love WholeFoods, for, other things. I’ve had cakes from other bakeries, did not compare to this one.
BEST PART: they accommodate orders for small cakes (⁴⁄₆ person).
SO-​SO PART: although they did a good job with all of their signage, I wish they would change location as they are a little difficult to find.

I purchased a groupon for Crème De La Crème for 2 dozen mini cup cakes. The ordering process was online and quite simple. The only downside is that I chose the assorted option and picked my flavors, but they gave me a slightly different variation of assorted flavors. Perhaps there may have been fine print on the groupon about the assorted option being up to the bakery. Don’t know.
It didn’t really matter that much to me since I was taking it to a party and they were extremely well received. The cupcakes were very aesthetically pleasing. Crème de la Crème cupcakes have a pretty unique look. They put the frosting on top and cover the sides of the frosting with shavings (chocolate, coconut, depends on the flavor), leaving the top with the frosting exposed. It looks very nice and clean. The most important thing, though, was that they tasted wonderful. SO moist. Right up there with Trophy yuminess, if not exceeding.
Crème also makes wedding cakes and other goodies. It’s located in an unassuming first floor of a small building on 4^th ave. If you drive fast, you’ll probably miss it. I definitely recommend this place for desserts/​cakes for whatever occasion. The gentleman who was there was also extremely friendly. I will definitely go back.

This place is incredible! I purchased two Groupons for mini cupcakes, anticipating two events that I can bring the cupcakes to. I am so glad I did.
The process to order the cupcakes was very easy. They have an intuitive website form that you fill out to choose the flavors of cupcakes you want, and to indicate the day that you will be picking up the lovely goodness.
There was no hitch with the order. I arrived on the time and date scheduled, and the cupcakes were ready. I also picked myself up some truffles that were enticing me while I wanted for the cake maker to grab the cupcakes from the back.
Everything was delicious! My friends raved at how amazingly moist the cakes were, which is more challenging to achieve than with regular sized cupcakes. The cakes were nice flavors, and the frostings were freshly made (you can taste the fresh fruit used to make them) and not too sweet either.
I’m so glad I discovered this place, am looking forward to using my second Groupon, and will likely come here again to order more cupcakes!

I have never been as disgusted as I feel now after my experience with Crème de la Crème. I am all for supporting small businesses but after seeing how BADLY they treat their customer or humans in general. I vow to make it my mission to have people know about how they treat their customer.
We have my godson’s baptism today. For the past month, we have been emailing with them on how we want our baptismal cake to be and even sent them pictures and the details of a 6 inch fondant cake decorated with my godson’s name and 4 dozens of cupcakes half in light blue and half in white icing (since I do have my own cupcake topper from etsys).
We were so excited to pick up the cake but to our surprise, 2 dozen of cupcakes were in their chocolate frosting and the other one was white but had chocolate sprinkles on the side. I complained about the chocolate topping as well as the chocolate sprinkles on the side. We were at least expecting a sorry for their mistake… but NO!!! they gave us LAME EXCUSES that we even if we specified all white, we did not specify «no chocolate» …are they real bakers? didnt they see my picture that had a blue fondant 6″ cake to match the white and blue cupcakes??? and then add CHOCOLATE brown sprinkles??? I expect a REAL BAKER to have a vision of how a beautiful artistic cake should look like/​???
BUT THATS NOT EVEN THE WORST PART OF IT ALL… they were RUDE! while two men were trying to give us all the LAME excuses they can think of .A more senior baker came out (thinking he was to mediate and offer us a discount maybe) …he came out shouting
«GIVE THEM THEIR DAMN MONEY BACK and KICK THEM OUT OF HERE.» Can you imagine a senior shouting and cursing to 2 ladies who are paying customers??? Whatever happened to CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
My own parents who have raised me and fed me do not even have the heart to curse or shout at us like that and to have someone we PAID to is simply DISGUSTING, RUDE and HEART BREAKING!
So our baptism might not have a fancy cake/​cupcakes we initially envisioned but we will not let a trying hard-​RUDE-​bakers/​staff ruin our day… I do not wish for anyone to be treated how we were treated…
All we did was place an order, with the specifics, we paid and all we wanted was our order done correctly and some RESPECT!
PLEASE PLEASE… AVOID THIS PLACE!!! I pray to God a better bakery with bakers with a good heart will open a new place for all you Renton cupcake lovers…

I really wished, based on the first part of our experience, that I could have given CDLC 5 glowing stars.
We went for a cake tasting and it was AWESOME. They were so friendly and polite with my little girl who wanted a very fancy cake for her birthday.
We sampled a few and picked one flavor we all loved.
We then went through the books and found almost the perfect cake, we wanted one design shown with flowers replaced with those from a separate design shown.
The price was really great and we were feeling great about it.
We picked up her cake the day of her party to find that the cake was totally different than we ordered (it was the second design completely, not just the flowers.) Thankfully, she’s flexible and it was really REALLY gorgeous so we asked for a tiny change and they were great about making it.
We got it home, in all it’s glory and served it to the party of girls.
The girls didn’t eat much of it, but hat wasn’t surprising, they always WANT cake but don’t really want to eat it but as I cleaned up, I grabbed a bite off my daughter’s cake and found the taste was really not good, not at all. It was TOTALLY different than the day we went for a tasting. The icing wasn’t soft and delicious as it was then, it was hard and not sweet at all.
I would be willing to return but I think I’d be much more careful the second time around, maybe birthday cakes really aren’t their thing, as the wedding cake reviews seem to be stellar.
