A Thing Called Cake

So, I’ve never ordered cupcakes or cake here, because I have celiac disease and I can’t eat gluten. Not many businesses in the valley sell gluten free products, and I needed a nice cake for my 16^th birthday. So, I was able to bring in a gluten free cake, and they frosted it. Wow! I am giving them four stars because they were so professional and nice. The cake looked beautiful, and everyone at the party asked where I got it. The frosting was also delicious. They were so understanding about my gluten intolerance and worked with me to make sure there was no cross contamination. I would definitely get cakes here for any occasion. They look amazing! The reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because I have never actually had their cake :) and because they are a little pricier than other bakeries.

If you wait to swing by pick up some of your favorite sweets, you may be disappointed and fall back on your second choice. They will hold your favs if you call in the morning.

I agree with some of the other reviews, if I could give this place a zero I would. Perfect name for this place, kinda. It’s a «Thing» but I would not call it cake. My husband ordered a cake for my birthday from there. The day he ordered the cake he brought home a sampler of cupcakes, it had german chocolate, red velvet, and lemon. I could not tell the difference in flavors. Gross. Three days later, he picked up my cake, I could not hardly cut through it. Wow!!! It was suppose to have a strawberry filling. I don’t know what that was, but it was not a strawberry filling. It looked and tasted more like pink colored icing. I think the box would have had better flavor. Needless to say, we will NEVER, order a cake from this place again. I will stick with Vons or Cardenas, hate to say it, but they have a better cake.

If I could I would give this place Zero stars! The customer service was beyond horrible. We ordered 2 brownies and 1 cupcake. I ordered a cheesecake brownie which tasted worse than a store bought box of brownie mix. It was dry and had a glob of overly sweet cream cheese on top. We asked for forks there was none. We instead were given 2 spoons as that’s all they had. On our way out one of the girls wanted to order an additional cupcake and the cashier asked if we could give him our container back to put the new cupcake in (unsanitary much)? There was also no trash can to be found and the cashier said to hand him the trash. Lastly, in the inside there’s one sad little table in the corner. Very disappointed in this cupcake shop. I will not be returning!

Best place in the valley for cupcakes. Haven’t tried their cakes but if they taste as good as their cupcakes then I’m sure they’re good. Plus I’ve seen some of their cakes & they are beautiful.
I ordered some custom cupcakes for a friend who’s a hairdresser & they had little handmade fondant decorations of scissors & other hair salon type tools. They were so cute.

I ordered a couple dozen cupcakes to be delivered in El Centro for my dad’s birthday — and WOW! I’m impressed by the professionalism and the above-​and-​beyond care of the company. They designed the cupcakes to make them themed (very difficult to do given the subject, by the way — but they were awesome!). They took pictures and emailed me since I couldn’t be there. They delivered them on time, and everyone said they tasted great! Thank you so much, and I’ll definitely be ordering again!

Best place in the Imperial Valley for cake and other freshly baked sweets.
