Cake Art

I came in for the macaroons and found out you had to special order them on most occasions as they run out quickly. Not a problem as I was able to pick up a few different cookies on that visit in order a couple dozen macaroons to try a few days later. When I picked up my macaroons they were in nice packaging none were cracked and all the flavors were delicious none were over the top or too sweet. I would recommend this place for cookies are macaroons any day. I haven’t tried any of the cakes yet.

I have been there many times, and I am never disappointed always moist fresh tasting cakes with sweet frosting it’s definitely one of the best cake shops I’ve been too

I have to say that I was very disappointed with my cake. The thing that has always bothered me about Cake Art is the service, every time I walked into the store I felt like I was a bother and was treated so rudely. I figured maybe there work will make up for their attitude. I was completely wrong. I ordered a 3 tier birthday cake and when I arrived to pick it up, there was dents in it, the fondant was not straight at all, the lines didn’t touch and you could see where they tried to fill the space and it just turned out worse. I could not tell you how terrible of a job they did. The front of the cake was okay, but the back was horrible. And Like I said, I thought their work would be better since their service is so bad. Not to mention, as I was walking out not one person asked to get the door for me. This cake was a 3 tier b-​day cake and very heavy!!! I had to open the door myself and also open my car door. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE SERVICE. Be very careful…

The cupcakes I had here were mixed quality — the icing on the vanilla one didn’t have much flavor. Just tasted kinda like shortening. The chocolate one was good! I also wasn’t a big fan of the cookie cake because it had the same shortening-​like icing on it. They have a big selection of stuff here, though, which is nice.

So my boyfriend and I live in the DC area but he was going to be in San Antonio for work over his birthday. Since he has family in the area I wanted to have a cake made that he could pick up. Monique was very quick and great with responding and finding out what I wanted. I then called the store and paid for the cake 2 and half weeks in advance. Fast forward to today I call to check on it and they didn’t know what cake I was talking about. Finally a girl gets on the phone and says ohh yeah it would be ready at 5pm. My boyfriend picks up the cake at which he says they were still working on and is told it will need another hour in the refrigerator before serving. Well it didn’t even make it 5 minutes from the store until it just fell over and the head fell off. I’m devastated because I’m not there and was still trying to make it a special day.

Absolutely amazing! I had a very specific cake that I wanted made for my sons birthday. I took a picture and spoke with them and they were excited to recreate it for us. They gave me a few suggestions for flavor and fillings as well. When we picked it up I was completely blown away. Our cake was beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned! They added the extras I brought in as well. The cake not only looked beautiful but tastes even better. It was moist, sweet and delicious. I have had many cakes made from other cake shops however have never received as many compliments on the appearance and taste of a cake. I highly recommend Cake Art! We will definitely be using them again for future cakes.

I am currently planning my wedding which is in November 2015. I found Cake Art through a Google search. I loved their website and photos of previous work. I emailed the company and set up a tasting with the owner of the shop. I arrived a few minutes before my set appointment and went to the counter. The girl had no idea there were any appointments and had no clue who I was. She then said «Oh well, they lose paperwork all the time». Not exactly the most reassuring thing a bride wants to hear. They then asked me to pick 4 cupcakes from the display case. I assumed it was to try the flavors. Their brochures mentioned a private tasting room but instead I sat in the lobby next to some brat crying for a cupcake. The owner showed up with the 4 cupcakes and the smears of filling. Each cupcake was piled a mile high with icing so it was very difficult to taste how the cake would go with the fillings. To make matters worse, the cupcakes were so dry they had to have been at least 2 days old. After we sampled the terrible cakes, the owner came back to talk about designs. I showed her 2 different photos: my favorite was a very art deco design and one much simpler. She completely passed over the intricate one and only wanted to do the simple one. I even mentioned that I did not like any of the flavors we tasted and she never offered any other sample. I instead was forced to just choose one. She wrote up a rough quote and said she would email it to me. She couldn’t give me a time frame for the email because «she wasn’t very good with computers». A month later, no email has arrived.
Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

Cake Art has a fantastic team that goes above and beyond to satisfy their customers needs. As a fellow wedding and event industry colleague, they are my go to for stylish and artistic desserts. They have a great assortment of goodies ranging from cupcakes to brownies.

Beautiful cake from the outside, but lacked in taste. Store looks inviting and modern. I also tried their brownies and cookies the cookies were ok but not very fresh.

ground! We ordered a superwhy character cake almost a month before my son’s 1^st birthday party. We made sure that they know the character and emailed them a picture of what we wanted. They enthusiastically said yes and the cakeprice was 200 usd. The day came and when we got the cake we were devastated. Superwhy looked like he just got into an accident and got his head smashed and his eyes popped out. I called in after my husband sent me the picture of the cake. They asked us to bring it back so they could fix the problem. When my husband went back they said they couldn’t do anything about it since it’s not their «piece». Its not their design and they are not pastry chefs. I was horrified by this reply. Only thing they can do is to remove the post — crashed superwhy aircraft on top and refund us with 35 bucks. Why would they take a job if they couldn’t do it? Nobody’s expecting an exact replica of the cake, but at least make it a bit more like it. The picture says it all. No attention was given to details, Superwhy’s smile was crooked, the fondant linings were thinning towards its end, it was obvious that they were in a hurry in making this. Best part is, the guy my husband was talking to was saying that he hopes this wouldnt result in bashing their store and bad reviews! Money spent on buying that cake wasnt easy. And we resorted to fixing the topper for the cake on our own! WE Haven’t heard anything from the store yet, I dont recommend going to this cake shop and were not certainly gonna go back EVER!!! horrible job and wrong choice of words to use on unsatisfied customers!!!

Love this place, not only is it so cute but they have amazing goodies– I mean what gets better than that! They did my sons first birthday cake as well as the smash cake and it was sooooo cute!

This place is out on the corner of 1604 and 281. It is sort of out of the way in a small strip mall.
We had one cupcake and a half dozen macaroons. We took our order to go.
The cup cake was tasty, but the macarons left a little to be desired. The staff was friendly but the place seemed a little dead.

I was shocked to find a wall of resistance to creative consulting at a business with the word «art» in their name. The counter person Dina (sp?) was horrible but i figured she was having a bad day, was a disgruntled employee etc and I would just talk to the owner later. Monique, the co-​owner, was much worse. She acted completely annoyed that I needed input from a designer. I did not know exactly what I wanted for a 1 year old bday cake. I had a theme. I provided photos. I wrote an elaborate email with ideas. I mainly needed guidance on the colors. Monique was not amused. She obviously never read the emails. The final product was not what we discussed on the phone. It was not my vision. There were some minor details that were completely wrong, but at this point, i just wanted my cake.
One other note: On the first day I went into Cake Art and my order was already up to $ 150, the counter person would not let me sample a french macaron! She said i had to buy a half dozen if I wanted to taste one before adding to my order. I ended up ordering 2 dozen, blind, along with 1 dozen custom designed cookies for party favors (which were hard as rocks, almost inedible).
I think because i had such an excellent experience ordering the invitations, at Invitations Etc, with a girl who helped me choose colors, font, text, I thought i would find the same enthusiasm and interest with the cake artist. Not so.
In the end, the cake was very appropriate and sweet for a 1 year old girl bday party.
The icing was ultra rich butter cream overkill, but the cake moist and flavorful.
The shop is beautiful, their work is good. The french macarons are to die for.
But their customer service skills are atrocious. Incredibly rude unhappy people.
The chef was nice and helpful and reasonable. He tried to intercede during both of my encounters with the counter person and the owner.
The women in that shop need a major attitude adjustment.

I’m not a cake fan, let me begin by saying this…
–1 star for their address being wrong. I had to call and get directions when I drive ask the way up 281 looking for their bakery. They should fix this if they’d like more business.
I came in in to buy six cupcakes for my future mother in laws birthday. Reasonably priced 6 for 15 $. Looking at the cupcakes they’re pretty to the eye which is nice. No one likes an ugly cupcake. I picked out 6…
Tiramasu, snickers, smores, red velvet, chocolate with a strawberry and chocolate icing, and a vanilla with chocolate and strawberry icing. The lady behind the counter then first grabs the snickers off the display and then tells me they’re out… wait what? I’m staring at 4 snickers cupcakes. But okay. I opted out for the nutella.
The cakes themselves (especially the Tiramasu) was very nice and moist. The icing was a but too sweet, but then again like I said I’m not a cake fan. Overall you get what you pay for.
I’d return again if not just for the Tiramasu cupcake

This was such a cute place! Everything was so colorful and neatly displayed. I went to try their Macarons and to me they were delicious but they had more of a meringue texture than ground almonds. The flavor really popped though and was fantastic! The white ones were my fav but all of them were tasty! The thing worth going for are their cupcakes! OMG their buttercream icing is sinful! I got a cherry cupcake that was iced fresh for me. All of their cupcakes were so cutely decorated. It had kind of a Willy Wonka magical feel in the shop. The lady that waited on me was very nice. It’s located in this really cool shopping area off of the new 281/​San Pedro opening. Totally worth going to in this heat! There cakes looked like those really cool ones on the food network.

This place is now my go to for cakes. The staff was very helpful and informative about their flavors and styles. I was able to try 2 cupcakes at a discount rate in order to select a flavor for the custom cake I ordered. The lady that helped me design the cake understood what I wanted. When I picked up the cake it was as if she hit the nail on the head. PERFECT! My family loved it. Thank you

I ordered a cake with an edible image for my husbands birthday and I’m so disappointed with this cake. It was dry and the icing was sickening sweet after I specifically asked that it not be made over sweet and what I tasted in the store and what was on the cake were completely different! I emailed the owner and still after 48 hours have not heard anything back. I was charged 20 $ for artwork I provided that I expected to take up most of the cake top based on a picture of a previous cake that I had done and said THIS IS HOW I WANT THIS DONE and was told yeah ok no problem. The image was half the size and so hard that when it was cut into it lifted right off the cake! I am absolutely disgusted with this! I will never go back and this that she should do something to rectify the situation being she charged me 70 $ for a joke!

Customer Service was GREAT!!! They helped me from start to end. Picking up the cake was in & out I am very pleased with Cake Art !!! The cake was very delicious and so happy we had many great comments about the cake and many pictures with the cake. We will for sure be using Cake Art again!!! Thank You So Much Guys & Gals

Love cake and pastries so I like to try new places.
This place is okay. The employee was not pleasant but not rude either. Average service.
The cake, VERY disappointed… It looks pretty and I have read many positive reviews. Cake was soft but lacking any flavor (chocolate, vanilla etc). Icing is very fluffy but not very sweet. It was like cool whip texture but less sweeter version. Not ver

I’m not a pastry foodie but I know what I like. Their specialty cupcakes are great! My kids love the snickers and Oreo cupcakes. I love the s’mores or the chocolate chocolate cupcake. My wife loves the lemon one. Tried a cannoli tonight and my taste buds thanked me afterwards.
If I am going to cheat on my diet, this place is a good to spend those extra calories.
