Who Made the Cake

I was so turned off by the customer service that I didn’t even set up a tasting for my wedding. Sure the cakes are beautiful but the dates and times offered for tastings and appointments were ridiculous. My husband and I both work and finding times that work for us both is hard and I expect a company that wants my business to be a tad bit accommodating. They weren’t so no business for them. We had a beautiful cake and great customer service from another vendor.

Our wedding cake was beautiful! The taste amazing! Some guests had up to 4 slices!!!

One of my good friends used this vendor for his wedding cakes, so I wanted to give them a try. I was able to call into their office and schedule a tasting very easily. Their bakery is full of very extravagant designs. It looked like works of art instead of cake. We met with Nadine and she’s wonderful. She was our first stop so she was able to teach us a lot about different cakes and icings. We fell in love with her raspberry cake with raspberry filling. This was out front runner for a long time, but in the end we going with a different vendor, however, I did love the whole cake tasting experience with Nadine, and I would highly suggest any couple to at least give them a chance.

We had originally chosen someone else to make our wedding cake when she suddenly backed out without reason. My wedding coordinator recommended Who Made the Cake instead. I could not have been more impressed. Nadine was professional and spent a long time discussing the type of cake we wanted. Nadine seemed to get exactly what we wanted when we said we wanted a simple and elegant cake and she did not try and upsell me on anything. We tried several flavors and chose their most popular, traditional wedding cake flavor. The best part was once I put my order in, everything after that was taken care of and I did not have to worry about the cake showing up or anything. Everyone at the wedding raved about how tasty the cake was and how beautiful it looked. Even my husband, who does not eat sweet things, loved the cake and continued to eat the left over cake even after the wedding. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Who Made the Cake. If you are able to book them, I would most certainly do it.

Ultimately, I had to have Who Made The Cake bake my wedding cake because I had tasted their cake before and found it to be, bar none, the best cake I ever had (and yes, I tried many other wedding cakes at vendor open houses and other events). The cake at my wedding was no exception, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I found Nadine to be a bit cool (rather than really interested in working with me on the kind of wedding cake I wanted) and some of the office staff to be less educated on their product/​services than I would have liked, but it worked out. I thought it was silly that they won’t use real flowers on their cakes and ended up using a real flower to cover up a smudge that was on the cake upon delivery to the venue (irony). Anyway, it all pales in comparison to having awesome tasting cake at the wedding… and having several people ask both during the wedding and weeks after, «who made the cake?»

Cake flavor — 10 star. Great cakes. Amazing flavor and texture. It was the best cake I have ever had at a wedding. They did both our cakes.
Service — not easy to get a hold of to schedule appts.
Delivery — cake showed up without my $ 75 topper. They had to go back and find it.
Not something a stressed out bride wants to hear.
Called for one yr anniversary — I wanted a small cake made to celebrate. Same flavor as our wedding cake. They wanted a $ 125 min cake order. So I passed. Very disappointing.

I have never been so insulted. Not only did I call more than a month in advance, but it took them forever to get back to me only to tell me they couldn’t even take my order. Didn’t ask me for any details, specifics, price point, nada. Just thanks but no thanks. We cannot help you. Will absolutely not recommend to any friends or family. Did I mention rude? Rude.

A little behind in posting this but have been craving my wedding cake so made me think to review. Who Made the Cake was great to work with and delivered the cake on time, was very happy with how the cake looked. Now most importantly the cake was very moist and delicious! We had so many compliments from our guest. Looking forward to ordering another cake from Who Made the Cake

I have known Nadine moon for years and know most every vendor for weddings/​events in Houston because I’m a professional musician & bandleader. When it came time for my own wedding, there was no question who I would use. Nadine’s cakes are the most beautiful and the best tasting cakes in town. You can spot her designs once you’ve worked a few jobs that used someone else because the best cakes always end up being from Who Made The cake! :)

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Nadine on Saturday, ⁶⁄₁₄. After reading reviews, I was a little apprehensive about our appointment but quickly changed my tune. Nadine was friendly and thorough. She didn’t mind that my fiancé and I took our sweet time flipping through her gargantuan cake books. Fast forward to the actually cake tasting– amazing. I like to think of myself as a sweets connoisseur and her cakes were the best I’ve ever tasted. Designing the bride and groom’s cakes went just as smoothly. She sketches as you tell her your likes and dislikes and the final product is amazing. The cake is made the week of your wedding to ensure freshness. This also gives you plenty of time to make changes on your cake which she allows up to 2 weeks before the wedding.

They made my wedding cake, it was amazing. My 500 wedding wedding guests also agreed. A+++++

My husband and I had an incredible experience here. Nadine helped us find a cake within our budget and it was beautiful! This cake stands apart from anything I’ve ever tried. People are still commenting about the cake when ever I see them. We will be getting our specialty cakes from here from now on!

1: «Who Made The Cake?»
2: «Yes.»
1: «No, Who Made The Cake?»
2: «That’s what I said.»
1: «No Abott and/​or Costello, who made the freaking delicious cake at this wedding?»

To avoid this at your wedding, just answer with «Nadine Moon of a place called ‘Who Made The Cake.’»
And as you can see by all 5 of the stars above, she really… takes the cake [drum-​roll].
If you are looking for the cheapest cake in town, this probably isn’t the place. But if you are looking for the tastiest, best looking cake, and an incredibly dependable and consistent product? This should be the cake for you.
4 times out of 4 it arrived with great fanfare for Muneezeh K. (…er, I guess Muneezeh C. now after the wedding!) and I.
«What lavish and extravagant Unilocalers those two are, straight out of that Gatsby book/​film» I’m sure you thought to yourself, picturing us surrounded by 4 cakes at our wedding/​cake eating festival.
And while a cake eating festival sounds awesome, we only had two cakes at our wedding (large, tiered bride and smaller groom). However, almost a year prior, Nadine delivered 2 delicious cakes for my sister-​in-​law and her husband.
No doubt the star of all four cakes was my groom’s cake (no bias, this was unanimously confirmed). Chocolate cake with chocolate-​mint filling – which included CRUSHED UP ANDES MINTS! It was actually MORE awesome than it sounds.
Of the large, tiered wedding cakes, our personal favorite was the raspberry w/​raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting. But each layer was almost equally excellent.

Well, it looks like Nadine paid Unilocal to remove my honest and thorough review of this bakery. If only she had spent that money on fixing the mistakes she made and accommodating our requests for my wedding, this place would have had a 5 star review, a repeat customer, and glowing referrals to the 15 – 20 brides/​year we know getting married in Houston every year.
Overall, these people don’t give a DAMN about you, your wedding, or what you want. They pride themselves on making cakes for celebrity weddings who don’t have to deal with the horrible customer service that is Nadine and her staff. So, if you’re not a multimillionaire celebrity, don’t come here.
Cake:
Let me start off with a positive. The taste of their cakes are the highest quality and extremely flavorful. Of the five tastings we did in Houston for our wedding, Who Made the Cake had the best tasting cake. Even at our wedding, we had plenty of compliments on the cake!
Presentation:
We had a special request for the design of our cake for our music themed wedding. We got a 3-​tier cake with a printed edible sheet music draped over the tiers of cake with hand made sugar roses on the second tier. We also asked for an edible ribbon to go along the three tiers. This turned into a big ask and because I changed the color theme 1 MONTH before, she said she would not be able to change the color from red to magenta. I’m sorry, are you making my cake 30 days before the wedding?
Service:
Nadine was very cold and rude during our tasting– asking no questions about what we like or general, «be friendly with your clients» talk. It’s our wedding, for god’s sake. Pretend to be happy about the occasion. On the day of, they LOST OUR WEDDING TOPPER (which was $ 75 btw) after they specifically told us we had to mail it to them. They found it a month later but refused to apologize to us for it. They also yelled at my sister-​in law and myself (a frantic bride) about delivery logistics.
Save yourself the headache on your wedding day by going with any other bakery in Houston. You don’t want a terrible cake lady making your family members cry. For a $ 1200 cake that only fed about 90 people, you have high expectations. But, they are just not met here.

Full disclosure: I know nothing about pricing or friendliness of staff.
HOWEVER, ‘Who Made the Cake’ donated 2 cakes to a charity event I recently attended and it was phenomenal. I’ve been to many a wedding/​event/​etc and have never been that blown away by taste alone. I took note of the donor’s company name and had to write a review.
It of course doesn’t hurt that they made such a generous donation to Child Advocates, but I can honestly say that it was taste alone that blew me away.

We ordered our wedding cake from Who Made the Cake. It was an all around good experience. I wasn’t a Bridezilla though, so my order was really simple. It was also convenient that our apartment was so close to her shop. We just needed a cake big enough for about 100 people. And I wanted it to be blue. What color, Nadine asked, do you have a swatch? I actually laughed when she asked me this. She laughed with me, and said that most brides have a swatch and requires her to mix the color for the frosting exactly. I told her, just blue… whatever you think looks best with chocolate fondant accents. My one picky request was that I didn’t want any fondant on my cake, just buttercream or chocolate. Regular fondant is gross, in my opinion. But this was no problem, and I picked out a design that could be replicated without fondant.
I only had a 2 month engagement, and so I ordered my cake about 45 days in advance. We had our cake tasting in the morning, and we didn’t feel rushed at all as we looked through the books and tried the cakes. We settled on one layer of regular white cake, fudge frosting, then a layer of chocolate cake for each tier, then the whole cake covered in amaretto buttercream with chocolate accents. The design we chose was simple and elegant. Nothing too gaudy or extravagant for me. The cake was about $ 350 (delivery included) in 2009 when we ordered it. Reasonably priced, I thought.
As for the toppers, when we went to our consultation, I hadn’t figured out what I wanted to use yet, and so she told me when I had the toppers to just come drop it off. Sure enough, once I get my little rubber duckies painted and ready for the cake, I return and they get placed on our cake without a problem or confusion. The cake was delivered on time and without issue. Everyone commented on how delicious it was and such a nice departure from the typical white on white wedding cake. I gotta say the amaretto buttercream was amazing. It was my husband’s choice, and I’m glad I went with it.
I was completely satisfied with this experience, and if I ever need a really big cake again, will definitely return.

We actually got three cakes from Who Made the Cake and all three turned out great! We got a guitar-​shaped cake for my sister’s birthday, our grooms cake (sheet cake with logo) and our wedding cake and they were all professionally and exquisitely done! The best part was that there was no sacrifice to taste — I never thought I could love white cake as much as I love theirs!
My only real bit of criticism is their hours of operation — most wedding vendors are open only during the week but they have later hours so you can meet with them without skipping work which was not the case here. A little inconvenient but I would definitely say worth it.
I would highly recommend WMTC to any bride or anyone wanting a creative and delicious cake!!!

MY MIND IS BLOWN. It’s unprofessional to bail on an order, but to show up with NO CAKE or EVEN a phone call to ANNOUNCE the missing $ 600 wedding cake order IS UNHEARD OF. But alas, it happened.
I attended the Manalo’s wedding last night and THERE WAS NO WEDDING CAKE. A really kind relative picked up two birthday cakes last minute from a Kroger in the area. It was TERRIBLY unfortunate. It must have been so stressful for the newly wed bride and groom. Also, to my knowledge NO EMAIL or RETURN PHONE CALL or ANY attempt on Who Made The Cake’s part has been made as of yet to correct or even excuse the situation. I really hope they get their money back and a huge appology.
I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but It might be best to avoid this business.
Be sure to see more comments on here from other wedding attendees soon. I know I won’t be the first to be astonished by this lack of professionalism.

The girl who took my order was a big help. She helped me decide on the icing and filling.
The cake was perfect when i picked it up.
I have to say they did no skimp on the icing or the filling. Lots and lots. Let me just tell you sweet sweet. I think it wasbuttercream.
I would buy another one… Chocolate next time :-) Different icing.

We ordered two specialty cakes from «Who made the cake» for my father’s birthday. (see photos) The staff we dealt with were very kind and responded to emails quickly. I believe we dealt mostly with the husband of the owner. He was very nice. They asked for several photos of the car that we wanted replicated and did a fantastic job! Both cakes looked great! In the past, when I’ve seen a super fancy highly sculpted cake, I’ve often found them to be dry and not flavorful. I was incredibly surprised to find delicious cake under all the elaborate frosting. The car cake was strawberry and the frosting (below the fancy fondant) was really really good! The golf cake was Italian cream and it was delicious! We easily had enough cake to feed 200 people!
The price tag for the cakes is really really up there, but we asked for a very special cake and we got what we asked for. We also paid extra for Sunday delivery and set up. They were right on time!
When I need another specialty cake, I’ll definitely be back to «Who Made The Cake»!
