The Cakery

I had only had cake from here once or twice, and I LOVE The Cup, so I knew this was where I wanted to order cake from for my son’s birthday. I actually ended up ordering two cakes: one small one for our family birthday dinner and one large one for his actual birthday party a week later. I ordered on the phone as I wasn’t super picky about the design and I knew which flavor I wanted. The cakes are pricey, but they are worth it! I paid over the phone, so picking up was hassle free. They showed me the cake and then packed it up for me. For the big one, they even helped me out since I needed to rearrange some things in my car to have it in a safe place. Everyone working there was friendly and helpful. The best part? The cakes rocked! Everyone who ate it raved over it. I am not a huge cake fan, but this will definitely be my preferred cake bakery when I need to order one.

Got my 40^th Birthday cake from here. It was great everyone loved it. Will be back. At least for the cake cups lol. Cake was totally different from any I have had in the past.

My daughter and I stumbled upon this lovely place taking back roads to get around a train. And I am So glad we did! We ran in and got a couple of football cookies and two sample bowls of different cakes; strawberry cake with vanilla and yellow cake with chocolate. I am so picky when it comes to icing, cake moistness and the fine line between a soft and slightly crispy edge of a sugar cookie. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Will be going back for future birthday cakes or just because. The girls were very nice as well; think we came right before they were going to close… we will be back!

Came here to get a birthday cake and it was delicious! A small non-​descript 2 shop space in dogtown, but they are busy! Walk in and there’s dozens of cakes to be picked up! They needed at least a 1 week notice, but they always have a yellow cake with chocolate buttercream, and a german dark chocolate cake «ready-​to-​go». I got the former and boy was it moist and scrumptious! The buttercream is very light and not too sweet. The cake was decorated with fun multicolored sprinkles!
I’ll certainly be back and with ample time to order a custom cake next time!

Oh, cake. You make life worth living. The Cakery gets this, and it shows. They’re not fooled by any faddish pies or donuts, they know that cake is the best and they make the best cakes. In their kindness, they offer Cake in a Cup, which is nice when you WOULD eat a whole cake but you don’t NEED to eat a whole cake. Instead you get a Cake in a Cup, and your love affair with cake is unsullied by the groaning and self-​loathing from eating a whole cake. So far I’ve tried the yellow cake, chocolate cake, chocolate butter cream icing, and french vanilla icing in various combinations and they have all been extraordinary. I can’t look at a grocery store cake anymore, I’ve gone too far. It’s the Cakery or nothing and I’m not the least bit sorry.
Friendly service, too.

Extremely responsive in the design/​order process and the cake was divine! I got a spice cake with cinnamon cream cheese icing for a fall birthday party of 30 or so and everyone raved about how fantastic the cake was. Moist cake and rich spicy icing were a perfect fall combination… will definitely order again!

Everything is made in house. Buttercream only! The cake designs are beautiful. Cookies are delicious. The have pint containers of cake and frosting for sale as well that make great treats for you or friends. All product freezes well. Open on Saturdays. Service is excellent as well. These people love that they do!

drove past this place for a year stopped in on sat bought chocolate cake for 32.00 the worst cake 1 slice an we through it out

Amazing cake. We found The Cakery over the internet as we were coming from Denver, CO to St. Louis for our wedding. We picked out 5 flavors and everyone loved them all. They were a hit at our wedding. Amazing work on decorating the cake too. Thank you!

I ordered a cake to celebrate one of my lab mates defending their PhD and it was awesome. Not only was the cake delicious, but I was also super impressed with their decorating skills! Our lab works with a specific type of immune cell and I sent them a diagram of one to put on the cake — I’m sure this was the first time they made a natural killer cell out of frosting but they did it so well my boss joked about using a picture of the cake in his future talks and presentations. Needless to say, the cake was a huge hit and I will definitely be ordering from The Cakery again!

Love this place. They are doing our wedding cake and are so patient and kind to work with. In numerous occasions we have had staff answer various questions on the phone in depth and in no hurry. We go in quite often for cake in a cup. Big fans of the vanilla but can’t go wrong with any flavor!

Stopped back by today to get the stuffed cakes!!! This time it was rum and red velvet left and I grabbed them up! The cake is delicious and the buttercream is perfect! Each balances the other out and BAM! You have these deliciously moist cakes in a BIG’OL CUP!

The Cakery made my wedding cake this fall, and they did fantastic! We happened to have an abundance of cake leftover which I took into work after my wedding… still delicious half a week later and making everyone in my office come ask where I got it from!
The owner of the Cakery does a great consultation appointment with you and walks you through your options. The cake for the sampling was SO incredible we knew we couldn’t wait until our wedding to have more. So, I tell you about «cake in a cup.» They sell you these amazing little indulgences of cake from leftover cakes and whatnot and they are fantastic.
For my wedding, they had perfect service and everything was exactly how we wanted it to be. (Even better!) The cake was delivered to the reception area and was waiting for us. They included great instructions on how to freeze your «topper» for your anniversary.
The Cakery has some kind of secret to their magic deliciousness, I don’t know what it is, but I know I will continue coming back for more!

My husband and I had the Cakery Bakery make our wedding cake in August 2014. The staff we worked with was all friendly and accommodating, both on the phone and in person. Our cake was beautiful and was very very close to the design we had agreed on beforehand. The cake was moist, fresh and had good flavor. All in all, we are pleased with our experience.

Everything was amazing with our cake, and we were so very pleased. We never actually got any strawberry cake, which we had been looking forward to for months, but the venue’s staff took our pieces away before we’d gotten to eat them. Sad face!
Next time we’re in Saint Louis, we will have to arrange for a small strawberry cake so we can finally get our fix.
The cake was absolutely beautiful. All that we had envisioned and more. It tasted so great (the other flavours) and there wasn’t any issues from the Cakery side. Plus, I feel that the prices are incredibly reasonable.
Come to the Cakery for your wedding cake tasting, and I doubt you’ll want to go elsewhere. Amazing.

We went to the Cakery Bakery for our wedding cake, cupcakes, and groom’s cake and couldn’t have been happier! We had a small cake to cut and the rest cupcakes for our wedding guests. We had a variety of flavors (ALL delicious) each with different color frosting/​toppings. They offer a variety of flavors and décor choices which was nice (though it made it hard to choose at times). They offer tastings at their shop along with lots of displays of cakes and cupcakes.
I also went to the Cakery for a surprise groom’s cake at the wedding rehearsal. I showed them some inspiration pictures and gave them a figurine to use — it turned out exactly like we wanted and the groom loved it.
They are flexible with meeting times, always respond to emails/​calls, very friendly and nice, and have their stuff together! They worked with us on pickup and work to get what you want.
Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Our guests continue to tell me how delicious the cupcakes were! They made one of the most important parts of our wedding perfect! Thank you, Cakery!

I really wish I could give half stars on Unilocal,because this place is a perfect candidate for the 4 ½ stars. But I decided to round up because I didn’t think giving this place just four stars would do it justice. This bakery is absolutely adorable and in my humble opinion the best one in St Louis.
Walking in, I was sure I was in the wrong place until I saw their sign. The bakery is so warm and inviting. It kind of gives off the impression that you are in someone’s own kitchen. If you like the Cup in CWE, this is their sister company — I’m sure you’ll like them even better.
I actually stopped by to pick up a birthday cake from here. If you’re looking for a last minute cake, they always have a few extra ones baked up to sell. I ended up getting a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Let me just say, the cake didn’t last twelve hours in my suite. All of us devoured it entirely. The frosting wasn’t overly sweet (my personally pet peeve) and was extremely creamy. It complimented the light fluffy cake very well! My only regret is not finding this place sooner. How did I go so long with such mediocre cakes in the past?

We ordered our wedding cake from The Cakery. It was so good that I have seriously thought about taking a piece off of our topper that is in our freezer before our one year anniversary. Damn you wedding cake, mocking me every time I open the freezer!
We had such a pleasant cake tasting with the staff and picked out the perfect cake for us. Moist lemon cake with creamy strawberry buttercream filling and vanilla buttercream outside. A-​flippin-​mazing!!! It was light, refreshing and perfect for a spring wedding. We were very simple with our wedding so they listened to that and decorated the cake with eggplant Callia Lilies to match our flowers and color. The decoration was not overdone and very minimal, just how we wanted. I thought the pricing was very reasonable as well.
Who made up the rule that you should eat your wedding cake on your one year anniversary anyways??? Pish posh! I’m starting a four month rule cuz I can’t wait to eat that cake again!!!

The first time I tried a cake from The Cakery was at my brother’s wedding in 2011. In that moment, I vowed to only purchase any future cakes from this establishment. It was hands-​down, the BEST cake I have EVER eaten. (No offense, Mom)
It was incredibly moist, and flavorful.
Fast-​forward two years to my Mother’s birthday. She wanted a cake from a well-​known, chain grocery store but, it’s my Mother so, I had to go to the best.
I called The Cakery, listed my specifications, and I was guided through the unknown world of cakes very easily by the staff.
When I picked up the 8-​inch, 3-​layered cake, I was as giddy as a school girl. It looked gorgeous, and the detail was so perfect.
The first bite is what I would equate to as heaven on a fork. It was smooth, creamy, and delicious. I don’t care that I have to drive 30 minutes to buy a cake. It is totally worth it. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and are super talented.
In my opinion, this is the best place to buy any type of cake in St.Louis.

I saw this page pop up on Unilocal and realized I never wrote a review for them! I thought they were called the Cakery Bakery but maybe they changed the name or I was just high on crack when I read their sign… anyyyyway…
A few years ago I bought myself a birthday cake from them. Yes, how lame right? I clearly had no friends back then (at least none who could bake!!!) and was craving a cupcake from the Cup… but then I was like «why the hell would I buy just ONE cupcake for my birthday when I could have a whole fucking cake?!» Damn straight. So you know what I did? I called up these awesome sexy mamas and I was like «BAKE ME A CAKE, BITCHES!» Well, not quite. I think I asked in a slightly more polite fashion than that! ;)
But yeah, I had to order that sucker a whole solid month in advance. Which brings me to realize… my 24^th birthday is a month away… do I order another cake? Hmmmmmmmmm!!! Soooo tempted. The one I ordered was basically the Gold Rush cake. Only it had amazing pink and green blobs of frosting all over it (my favorite colors!!) See photos!
So yes… nudge nudge hint hint… Sean H… if you read this… Kate loves her some Cakery. GET ME SOME! ;D
PS: Expensive as balls but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
