The Cake Bar

I recently ordered some custom cake pops and sugar cookies for my friends bridal shower. It was a casino theme (Vegas wedding!) so they made cake pops in the shape of dice and cookies in the shape of playing cards and poker chips. They were a huge hit at the party and everyone couldn’t get over how GOOD they tasted. Not only did they look and taste great, but the service here was awesome. I received quick, same day responses to my questions and emails. I’m new to this area and have found my go to bakery!

The cupcakes were okay, nothing spectacular (especially not for the price), but I would probably go back considering there aren’t many options like this in franklin. It looks somewhat out of place in downtown franklin, but it’s a cute little shop in the downtown area.

I have known Alec and his family for over 15 yrs and recently we purchased some of their cupcakes. They were phenomenal and I can be somewhat of a dessert snob. Tasted homemade and very reasonably priced, you will not be disappointed. The presentation was as impressive as the taste.

My husband loves the coffee. He’ll go there over dunkies and Starbucks any day. We always get the pumpkin cheesecake log for Christmas and thanksgiving and everyone loves it. It puts all the other desserts to shame.

Amazing bakery in downtown Franklin.
Franklin is a great family town with a great center along Route 140. The only Bakery throughout the center is «The Cake Bar». An amazing cupcake, cake and more spot with a huge seating area and a warm, classic vibe. It also has easy parking in the back of the building, next to the Dean College parking. The Cake Bar provides tons of different cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and more. My personal favorite is the Domino. Staff are friendly, and the prices aren’t through-​the-​roof. Great spot, and a place I’d high suggest (and WILL be back soon!). 5 stars.

Amazing cakes, super cute cupcakes! I relied on the Cake Bake for all birthday parties this year. See the pictures!

I go to college at dean college and I come here all the time with my ex boyfriend. He lived in the condos right above it. We love it. I still go here today.

Such a fabulous bakery! They will customize their cakes to look like almost anything you want. My daughter loved her Raven Teen Titan cake. Cakes are delicious and I love their coffee too! A must to go to!

Very rich cupcakes, very delicious cupcakes, a little expensive but they are expanding and do dessert and coffee it’s amazing!
Just wanted to edit my high review is also for the customer service, I’ve spilt a whole coffee here everywhere and they made me a new one instantly no questions asked it was in my hand by the time the mess was wiped up, also today I didn’t see the vanilla squared I went in for she offered to make it for me right then and there :) but I was in a rush so very sweet of them to offer to make on the spot.

Stopped in here to check it out and was impressed. Pretty decent size place and great selection of cupcakes, cakes and brownies that all looked delicious. Every style flavor and frosting and they also do special orders of cakes etc. They had these yummy frosting shots that were all sorts of frosting flavors. The prices were decent and the staff was very nice. I liked the fact this place was also featured on the Food Network. Worth the stop!

I think they look like Georgetown cupcakes in Boston. Taste is also very smilar. So I’m sure I’ll come again. This cup cake shop’s atmosphere is also great.
If you are a big fan of cupcake, you’ll like this shop!
I’ll buy a birthday cake for my husband from there

Groupon coupon for a taster kit of four cupcakes, dozen minis and 3 frosting shots. Plenty of parking behind bakery. Nice place for coffee. For four of us, we sliced up the cupcakes and tried a quarter of each. Girls loved the chocolate cupcake while I enjoyed the toffee. Kids had one of the frosting shots and it was sugar overload. We saved the minis for another day. Nice treat, but too sugary for us.

LOVE IT!
I worked with Angie and ordered my daughter’s first birthday cake. Angie was really great! I sent her pictures and with one phone call, she was able to generate the most beautiful, perfect cake and it was DELICIOUS! Their flavors are fun, the cake is moist and their service is amazing. I would definitely come here again.
Great job!!!

Amazing. Loved every bite! We will definitely be back– the atmosphere and the people are the icing on the cake, so to speak!

Love the friendly staff and delicious drinks. Also, a great place for grabbing a cup of coffee while having a business meeting. In addition to cupcakes, they have muffins which is great for morning meetings.

Love their mini cakes. Cofee is always good, like the decorations and the comfi sitting area.
There is only one minus: there is no parking in this downtown area, it is always a challenge to find parking when needed. But the sweets are excellent

Stopped in after lunch to grab a cupcake. The cupcake was delicious and customer service was excellent! Will be back

They have a great variety of cupcakes and frosting shots. My 5 year old has a walnut/​peanut allergy so as much as I love cupcake Charlie’s we have to pass. They are not a nut free bakery however they take careful precautions to avoid cross contamination. He eats cupcakes here with no problems. They’ll let you know which ones to avoid. The buttercream frosting is perfection however a little heavy handed on it. The Milky Way cupcake is tasty but tastes nothing like Milky Way, more like coffee. Unlike other Unilocalers I thought the customer service was great. I was acknowledged as soon as I walked in. I personally prefer cupcake Charlie’s for the flavors but the cake bar for freshness and carefulness not to cross contaminate. They also make custom cakes as well if you pre-​order.

Delicious. A wide variety of flavors, friendly staff, a local business that cares about the community it’s a part of (have recently done fundraisers for local families/​causes). Also has a little café with drinks and such, and can order specialty cakes here, too.
The most recent time I was here, the place was absolutely PACKED (for a fundraiser), and I was most impressed by how friendly and courteous the staff were. All smiles, all wanting to make sure everyone was taken care of, no sense of rushing or annoyance, even though they were positively slammed and running low on cupcakes.
Me and my sweet tooth will be back!

By far, the best cupcakes I’ve *ever* had. High-​quality ingredients, including real buttercream frosting, make these cupcakes memorable. While it may be a tad pricey, keep in mind you do get what you pay for.
Bottom line: If you’ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to have angels frolicking on your tastebuds, order a chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake from this place. Or a red velvet cupcake. Or a sticky toffee cupcake. Or any cupcake from The Cake Bar.
