Cake Ambiance

The best bakery on planet earth. I’m not exaggerating the cupcakes are life! Perfect for occasion or just a sweet tooth. the owner is the most pleasant person to speak with. He’s friendly n gives samples.

The storefront is pretty spartan. However, they give decently large portions and if you warm up their brownie, time stands still for a few moments when you’re eating it.

Jude is talented. I do not really like buttercream, however this man puts buttercream in a whole new place. I don’t care if the place is hot, which I have commented about. All comes down to the sweet surprise of his fantastic goods. The strawberry cupcakes… need to comeback. I’m not the biggest strawberry dessert person, again these change that!

Stop! Do not pass go, until you try Cake Ambience’s Banana Pudding Cake. It’s exquisite with its’ upscale vanilla cookies providing a little crunch as you bite into a light fluffy cake, and the banana pudding filling & icing. Heavenly.
The other cakes provide a test for your tastebuds. My absolute favorite is the Napoleon Cake, it’s 3 layers of bang French Vanilla, Strawberry, and Chocolate Cake with the delightful frosting to match each cake. Then, the 3 layers are bond together with French Vanilla frosting, but certainly not your tastebuds.
Do get some, for it’s definitely worth the stop.

I absolutely love the pistachio cupcakes it was sooooo gooood. Not too sweet and very moist. I also tried the cookies and cream and it that was also creamy and not over powered with sweetness which I could appreciate. The only suggestion I would make is that they should try and add more cupcake selections because most people are more into cupcakes then actually buying a whole cake. The place is small but I feel that it is a gem and my new spot for deserts.

The piece of cake I purchased was very expensive.

One day last year my boyfriend and I were walking past this place and a man standing outside offered us a sample. Ever since then Cake Ambiance has been one of our «go to» establishments.
I feel like the interior is a little bit misconceiving. It’s a small store front tucked away close to busy Flatbush; however, the desserts that this place pumps out are exceptional! On our 1^st stop in we tried a few samples but the sweet potato pie/​cake stole the show. It’s got such an amazingly sweet but not overly sweet sweet potato taste. The crust is soft and chewy unlike an ordinary pie crust.
The service is always quick and speedy. In the future I’d like to try more of their sweets; however, usually when I’m here I’m picking up several slices of the sweet potato pie/​cake. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who has a sweet tooth or is in need of a special dessert to share with others.

Desserts were delicious and the owner was so sweet and let us try lots of samples. Definitely worth a visit

OMG talk about amazing! these cakes were super moist. The frosting fits the bill, not too sweet, and tastes heavenly. The price is comparable to Magnolia Bakery but I totally think its worth it !

Shop may not look like much but believe me this cake is DELICIOUS. I am addicted to the chocolate cake it is so good. I used to visit this shop once a week when I lived in park slope. I now live in NJ and still make the trek at least 1 – 2 times a month b/​c the cake is THAT good.
For those complaining about the prices, really? The slices are absolutely MASSIVE. There are many non-​minority owned bakeries who’s prices are way higher than this for less quality. Magnolias sells 1 cupcake for like $ 3.50−4.00 you are getting a slice that is at least 4x the size of a cupcake. Also you can tell that the quality of ingredients they use is superb and well worth the price.
I am very happy to support this Nigerian owned small business and will continue to do so as long as I live in the tri-​state area.

Hands down, one of the most delicious slices of carrot cake I’ve ever had! The cake is moist, flavorful, full of nuts & raisins. The frosting is to die for! It’s fluffy, not overly sweet, with a soft pillowy marshmellowy consistency… I can eat a whole tub of it! I also had a few bites of my sister’s pistachio piece of cake. omg! YUM!!!

I had their pistachio cake from a friend’s bday celebration. It changed my entire life.
It haunts me now, since I’m staying away from sugar, but when my birthday rolls around, I want to indulge in this pillowy, flavorful piece of heaven. Some cake is just cake. This is heaven. When 50 rapped about a fat kid loving cake, I imagine this to be the cake that the portly child was so enamored with. We WILL meet again my sweet. XOXO

This place is fantastic. The owner and baker made me a custom German Chocolate Cake for a birthday party and it was phenomenal. Everyone at the party loved it! Will definitely go back.

Support small businesses!
After a basketball game at Barclays Center and eating ice cream at Sky Ice, I still wanted more, since I was already in Brooklyn. My always handy dandy Unilocal app told me to go to Cake Ambience, and of course I did.
Don’t expect much décor from this place — it’s about as basic as it gets and reminds me of a bodega for some reason. They had only 1 kind of cupcake — red velvet, and maybe 4 – 5 kinds of cake including red velvet cheesecake, pistachio, strawberries and cream, and pistachio. $ 8 a slice… not cheap.
I got the red velvet cupcake because the slices of cake were way too massive. While the cake was moist, it was too sweet, and very much overpowered by the frosting. The frosting actually tasted like cream cheese unlike other places, which I liked, but the frosting to cake ratio was just off — wayyy too much frosting.
Credit card minimum is $ 10.

Jude simply makes the best cake EVER! Not only does he make my favorite staples but he is always encouraging to to try something new. I love the red velvet with cheesecake, the German chocolate, the sweet potato cake, the rum cake… Should I say more, always plenty of samples on hand too!

First off people complain way too damn much, if its not about the color of the walls, its about attitude that ones day, or some other miniscule thing when they should be giving note about the deserts, the helpfulness of the staff, the availability of the actual product you came in to seek, location and other ease of access related things.
I have been getting my sweet tooth fixes here for over two years and NEVER had a bad experience. I first stumbled upon this place while walking with a co worker after the nearby Q train had its weird weekend schedule where service ends at atlantic av and you hop on a shuttle bus. We skipped it and decided to walk down flatbush, saw this place on the way and went in where we were given tons on top of tons of delicious samples. The owner was sweet as the pastries he sells. He took pride in all the products there and I loved it, I am all for black business that are 1000% all for what they do and sell it like its not another thing out there like it.
No one puts their foot in sweet potatoe pie like this guy, no one can decorate the hell out of a cake the way his artists can. I always have to get a cupcake be it blue velvet or red. I cant control myself. Unlike one reviewer I cant help but not buy almost everything in there. I dont know why I lose control when I go in this place but there is something hypnotic about that place that gets me to part ways with at least $ 20 of my money. And the thing is I am never upset about it… oh my belly is rumbling just thinking about that banana pudding cake.
I even told my friend about the place and she traveled down to try the pistachio cake. Later I asked her how she liked it and told me she is staying away from there because she has a pistachio cake problem now and of course she blames me… for some odd reason. *Shrugs*
I hope people give this place a try, its really good food. Its near the subway and bus so its super easy to utilize that Metrocard transfer and hop off the subway, grab the goods and hop on the bus for the rest of your travels. Its open into the good part of the evening but go early because he always runs out of a lot of stuff after being open all day. I dont think the priced high at all, I mean if you want the best you have to pay for it. There are other shops in the surrounding area that make mediocre product but because Rhianna or Carmelo Anthony got their cake there they charge outrageous prices like $ 3 for one cupcake or $ 5 for one cake pop. I think anyone who goes in with an open mind will be pleasantly surprised by this place and the charm and helpfulness of the owner and his entire staff there helping out.

This place is my favorite destination in Brooklyn. The owner is the nicest person you will ever meet. I’ve tried almost all of the cakes in the store and I love them all!!!
I purchased a seasonal Pumpkin cheese cake during the holidays. That cake was so good all year long I couldn’t stop thinking about it. And couldn’t wait until they would be selling it again the next year. Juniors, and A Taste of Velvet, do not hold a candle to this establishment. You Must try their red velvet cheese cake combo, and the strawberry cake.

I consider myself the dessert conniseur. Any of my friends will agree that I only eat that crack dessert — Deserts so good you need another hit immediately. The desserts at Cake Ambiance are so good. The décor appears as if no work or baking or anything for that matter was done in the shop the whole day by the time you arrive to make your purchase. But when you arrive, they have some bomb ass deserts (mostly cakes, brownies, flans, etc.) waiting to be purchased. Though, I have not tasted everything, in my heart I know that everything taste yummy yum licious.
The only disclaimer, on both occasions the place smelled like feet. So if you can walk and function past the stink feet, boy oh boy, you are in for some tasty ass treats!

PISTACHIO CAKE IS EVERYTHINGGG. I haven’t tried anything else and that cake alone warrants 5 stars. It kinda fell sliding around in transport (sticking to the box) and when it was done my sister and I literally went back and CLEANED the cardboard bc none of it could go to waste. They must sprinkle crack in it bc there is no other reason for that kind of behavior. My stomach was literally full and my taste buds were ignoring my body telling me to stop eating. I will be returning but I don’t know if I will ever buy anything else.
*see other reviews for store as a whole, mine is just about the pistachio cake

A lovely message from the owner (sent to me personally, via Unilocal):
Christopher P.:
«I’m all for people having an opinion. Only because we all have our individual minds and thoughts. You on the other hand seem to go around looking for the worst in each business and depict what you think should have happened in your head as I read all your reviews. Do you think that’s fair. I work at a black own business that you recently offered your critique about. I really think it was over the top considering you and one other person from 4 years ago gave us a negative review. We work extremely hard in creating a friendly environment for all our faithful customers. Yes we could use a fresh paint job but while we are extremely clean and have an A posted on our window from the proper people who are clearly licensed to judge, that doesn’t give you the right to rate us on our cleanliness! Yes our prices are high but did your ever think maybe I should ask why? Well let me tell you since you clearly don’t have a business of your own and you don’t know what it takes to run a business; hight rent, employees, special ingredients, electricity and supplys. Now when people like you complain just to complain on Unilocal you don’t realize that your review may contribute to our prices going up. We are one of a couple of black own family businesses still around in this neighbor, I would think you would be happy for us that we are surviving. Bottom line you should receive all the information before you judge or right a review.»
