Gateaux

Is it impossible to find German bread in Denver?

My father is retiring and loves their cookies but we live in California. They were kind enough to spend us some for his retirement party and they arrive just in time, not damaged at all. Wonderful service! And taste wonderful too

With a very short notice, Michelle created a spectacular masterpiece «grooms cake» that was absolutely delicious! I have used Gateaux numerous times and would never hesitate to recommend this bakery to anyone, including my most discerning friends. It doesn’t get better than this!

For our wedding, we were unable to do food tastings since we live in VA, so we had to have our parents who live in CO try all the dessert options available to us. It was a tough job for them obviously, but after visiting a few bake shops, they gave us a definitive answer: Gateaux. And boy, they did not disappoint! Gateaux created some wonderful cupcakes for our wedding, and all of them were some of the best cupcakes we’ve ever had. There were options for everyone: red velvet, vanilla, chocolate, dark chocolate with filling, mint and more and our guests couldn’t get enough of them. Gateaux even created a cake using our wedding colors, complete with a large fondant sunflower on top! They worked with our wedding coordinator to incorporate some of our decorations onto the dessert table, and everything looked wonderful. For anyone looking for a quick snack or a full event with dessert, we couldn’t recommend Gateaux enough!

A special thanks for Michelle and Gateaux for my wonderful Birthday cake (topped with little sugar images of my cats)! It was delicious, and the cats looked great. I could see each of their personalities shine through!

The team at Gateaux were beyond helpful when preparing my gender reveal cake pops! They worked with me on short notice, were excited to be a part of the celebration and overall extremely accommodating! I picked them up this morning & they are gorgeous! I can’t wait to share them with friends tonight. Thank you for being a part of this time in our lives & making it so much fun!

I ordered a cake and cupcake for my son’s first birthday. Michelle the manager/​store owner greeted me to give up our desserts. Much better experience. The cake was delicious very rich, white cake with dark chocolate mousse. Yum, everyone loved it. The one year old didn’t disappoint, he devoured his cupcake and it was all over his face.

I currently live in Michigan and was tasked with hosting my best friend’s bridal shower in Denver. I chose Gateaux bakery because of the positive reviews and pictures posted here on Unilocal.
I must say, they completely exceeded my expectations. I ordered a cake without providing much direction and allowed Gateaux to exercise their creative freedom. They blew it out of the water! The cake was more than reasonably priced, delivered exactly on time, and stunningly gorgeous. It fit absolutely perfectly with the theme of the shower, with so much detail and grace. To top it all off, it was probably the most delicious cake I have ever had at a larger function like that.
Additionally, the ladies at Gateaux suggested I should include a few gluten-​free mini desserts. The girls at the bridal shower who needed to eat gluten-​free were so touched that I thought to include some of those options they pulled me aside later and offered a very heart-​warming thank you.
I received so many compliments on the presentation, quality, and sheer amazingness of the cake, I wish I could move them here to Michigan and use them for my own wedding!
I’ll post a picture as well so everyone here can see their work.

Excellent service, delicious and beautiful cakes. I came in for a birthday cake at the last minute and got an unbelievable cake.

Stopped by here on my way to the airport to catch my flight to San Diego. I was curious to try this place upon a friends recommendation. I took home some of the chocolate mousse and tea cookies home but I bought and ate their chocolate mocha cupcake. It was the bomb!
The cupcake was moist and not too sweet so the frosting balanced it out. I wanted to take home one of their cakes but maybe next time so I have a reason to come back.
If you love pastries you should check this place out!

Gateaux is amazing!
I ordered a VERY specific and special birthday cake for myself last week. I wanted a picture of the Golden Girls on my cake. (I’m a nut for them!)
Carol the woman who I spoke to and emailed with, was so friendly and excited about making my idea come to life.
I am gluten free and so are many of my friends and family members, so this is what originally brought me to calling Gateaux.
I ordered it about 5 days before I wanted to pick it up and Carol was very accommodating.
Not only did my cake (white cake with raspberry buttercream filling) taste AMAZING… but the design of the Golden Girls was incredible and made me so happy and made all of my guests smile.
I would absolutely recommend this bakery to anyone, gluten free or not. They are creative and the flavors were delicious!

WE LOVE THEM!!! They are the BEST!!! We love their mini desserts. Little petit treats that very in so many Flavors and fun surprises. They are all such sweet people that work there and my husband and I will be back!!! THANKS YOU SWEET ANGELS!!!

Have had several of their smaller pastries and they are cloyingly sweet. I felt like my teeth were melting.

Wahhh I got here (Christmas Eve) and they’re closed. Womp womp. That is actually reasonable but let us know please. When I called it didn’t say anything about being closed Christmas Eve. Nothing on their website. Also on their door it just says closed Christmas Day, nothing about today. Disappointed.

Ordered a *massive* 14 inch cake last minute and they accommodated! Didn’t realize how big the cake really is. While its the diameter of a large pizza, it’s about 8 inches tall — beastly to say the least. The gal on the phone was really helpful in picking out the frosting. Wanted a chocolate cake and asked for buttercream filling — got the helpful recommendation to go with a vanilla mousse on the inside … which was *divine* to say the least. Everyone at the party was really impressed with the cake — many saying it was more impressive than some wedding cakes they’ve seen.
Go here for all of your party needs! The store looks like they have smaller pastries … which I’m gonna have to partake of in the near future.

I was traveling to Denver for a long weekend to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I found Gateaux through Unilocal and I couldn’t have been more happy! I emailed an order form to them and they called within a day to confirm my order. I asked for a ‘martini’ themed cake and it turned out better than expected! The best part was that the cake was as delicious as it was beautiful. It was such a hit! Thank you!

Keeping it short: this place is yum! Their cakes are super creative and normally our go to spot for deserts!
By far a pricey place but worth it! Love the flavors, love the taste, love the creativity!

My son’s 3^rd birthday was monster-​themed (part Monster’s Inc., part other friendly, but unknown monsters) and Michelle at Gateaux helped us create an unbelievable cake and cookies for the party. The cake was challenging to create — she spent a lot of time talking with me about what I really wanted and helped me design something that was impressive, delicious, and able to feed all 40+ guests we’d invited. Before we even left the shop, other patrons in Gateaux were oooh-​ing and ahhh-​ing over the cake as we got our first look at the finished product. I wish I knew how to post pics here — it was a work of (super-​cool) art! She also created fun, monster cookies for the kiddos — equally cute and yummy.
My son could care less about gifts. All he wanted for his birthday was to «eat some monsters in my cake». Gateaux delivered his wish — he (and the other kiddos) couldn’t wait to dig into the monster eyeballs on the cake base and the Sulley and Mike (icing and fondant) figures sitting on the top.
We have some very opinionated foodies in our group, and every person in the crowd enjoyed the cake — sadly for my day-​after cake cravings, there was not one piece left. It was a white cake with strawberry filling. Moist and delicious, even though we brought the cake home 2 days before the party, froze it, then thawed it out Sunday morning before the big event. I was sure it would be dried out — but nope. It was perfect.
Thanks again to Michelle and the staff at Gateaux. We will be back for more!

I have been ordering my special event cakes from Gateaux for more than 5 years. I couldn’t say enough wonderful things about them. I had no problem with paying $ 175-​$ 200 for a birthday cake because not only was it spectacularly decorated, it tasted heavenly. For example, my 35^th birthday cake was a replica of my iPhone (joke by my ex husband) complete with my Gerber Daisy screen saver. It was an entire sheet cake and at least 7″ high with white chocolate mousse and fresh berries. I’ve never been a fan of the taste of fondant (who is?), but it was thinly rolled and just beautiful, and every detail was extraordinary!
Fast forward 5 years to my 14 year-​old son’s birthday. I ordered the cake 2 weeks in advance. We collaborated over the phone… I knew I wanted a baseball theme. She talked me out of a cake shaped like a baseball diamond saying it never worked out, and recommended a green fondant for grass with graham crackers for the dirt of the diamond and a big baseball as a topper. Sounded lovely. The reality was an $ 80, 8″ round cake that weighed probably 5 – 7 lbs, with a sloppy, lame, design, dry cake and micro-​thin layers of filling. The baseball topper was nothing more than a giant ball of rolled fondant (explained the weight)… Gross! If I had known when I picked it up, I would’ve refused it, but it was my son’s birthday so I was stuck. So disappointed!
So now I am trying to find a new bakery from which to order two graduation and 3 birthday cakes… Sad.

This was a complete Unilocal-​based stop. I realized I needed a birthday cake, happened to be down in Denver, did a local Unilocal search and Gateaux happened to be just a few blocks away! The cakes are gorgeous and there is a wide range of options from red velvet to vanilla to more interesting flavors including lemon and poppyseed, etc. We ended up going for the marble vanilla and chocolate cake with raspberry preserves. The woman who helped us was very sweet and gave my kids some very pretty cookies, which they devoured in less than a second in the seating area while she wrote a message on the cake for us. I noticed that they host cake-​decorating birthday parties for kids 10+ and it looked super fun. Everyone gets to take home a cake!
The cake was very moist and tasty — definitely lived up to the French shop name!
