Freed’s Bakery

I have lived in Las Vegas for 12 years and Freed’s has created every cake for all my special occasions!!! They have made me look like a star every time! Show up to a dinner party with a cake from Freed’s and everyone turns their heads! I have probably order over 40 cakes and have never been disappointed!!!

We came in to use our groupon. Everyone keeps saying cake slices so I was determined to get the chocolate mousse cake people talk about ($ 4.25 a slice). It was moist and not overly too sweet. Pretty good chocolate cake and I can’t say I’m a fan of choco cakes often.
My eyes gravitated towards the large cookie assortment which is sold mix n match by weight ($ 13 and some change for a pound). They’re all pretty decent. The standout for me is bars– chocolate fudge coconut, graham crumb squares and the brown sugar, graham crumb and nut squares (we got a pecan one and a sliced almond ones). Rainbow cookies are one of my favorite treats, but are my least favorite of the bunch we got. I mean, the cake in it is good, but it isn’t rainbow cookies without the marzipan layers in between so I was disappointed. Sucks that half the cookies I got were that thinking they were gonna be bombtastic considering their cake quality.
After hearing custom cake prices I don’t think I’d come here for those. It’s good cake, but not good enough for the price nor design. I’d have to try more selections to get a feel, but so far it seems like a solid, homey bakery for ready to take home items. It’s across town from me and I don’t think it’s great enough to make a trip alone for them. It’s good, but we weren’t wowed enough to have a mean hankering to drive 20 miles for some cake. If I’m in the area visiting friends then I’ll drop by.

THEY’RE MOVING!
Apparently this one will be closed in about 2 weeks and they are opening on 9815 S. Eastern Ave & Silverado Ranch in the Target Shopping center. Eventually they will be closing the other location (on 9555 S Eastern) and only have the new one be the only Freeds location. I got a coupon for 2 dozen free cookies with a $ 10 purchase at the new store so if you stop in before they close, they’re sitting on the counter.

I love Freed’s bakery! The cakes, tiramisu & cookies are so good. I think I’ve tried all their different slices of cake. When I go in there, the people at the counter are friendly & offer trial cookies to my kids.
I went there today & the line was long, but everyone was taken care of pretty quickly & with a smile :-) It smelled so good in there. They had some pumpkin, chocolate pecan, & apple pies ready for Thanksgiving.
I really love that chocolate mouse cake w/​the chocolate shavings on top. It’s the best chocolate cake I’ve ever tasted. To me, it’s perfect, because it taste good & their frosting is not that sweet and you end up eating half the cake. It has like a mousse filling. I think it’s called the Le Parisien. My boyfriend likes the cream puffs & tiramisu the best. My kids love their cookies. I noticed that they have some very beautiful cakes on display that you can order for the special occasions. Kinda pricey. I guess it’s worth the price if you wanna impress your guests & yourself especially since it taste so good & looks so good :-)

I visit Freed’s every time I’m back in Vegas to get my Brown Derby fix.
I haven’t been to this location for some time since the newer one opened on the side of town closer to my sister’s house.
However, the virtue to this location is that it’s more down to earth, in my opinion. It’s just straight up about the sweets and the cake. While the newer location is beautiful, I like walking the the vibe here.
Also, and more importantly, there’s dollar store right across the street, which means you can buy your cake, bust out cheap forks, and tear the whole thing apart right then and there (which is what we had to do because we learned our hotel room was sans refrigeration)!

With specifications and suggestions sent from 2,500 miles away Freed’s was able to make the *perfect* cake for husband’s birthday: a moist chocolate/​vanilla marble cake with amazing vanilla whipped cream frosting. One of the better cakes I’ve eaten recently. Everything about it was melt-​in-​your mouth good.
And Freed’s decorators created the most adorable outdoor/​camping diorama on the cake, complete with tent, campfire, canoe, white-​tailed deer, forest pines, river, and rocky cliffs fashioned out of sheet cake. Amazing, and husband was totally enamored.
The creativity of this place astounds. And the fact that the product tastes fabulous, to boot? Well, that’s just the icing on the cake.

I ordered their sexy Shake Ya Tail Feather cake for my best friends bachelorette party this past weekend and everything was perfect, EXCEPT they mispelled her name and the word «Bachelorette» on the cake. I had told them too the exact spelling of my friends name because it’s actually become an annoyance over the years with how many cakes I’ve had made for her and I still get the careless person who doesn’t follow through. It’s «SHERELLE». Not SCHERELLE, CHERYL, or CYRIL.
C’mon folks, If I’m paying more for a cake than what I typically spend on groceries and gas in a month, please spell check it. Thanks.
So, they got a minus 1 star from me. But the cake itself was delicious (got a lemon cake with raspberry mousse filling), and the design and presentation (with the exception of the spelling errors) were on point and my girl loved it.

Small cakes, cupcakes and pastries — Very nice, tasty and reasonably priced.
Cookies — The best. About 14.00 per pound, but worth it.
Ordered cakes — The bavarian cream is great, but the buttercream is awesome too!
Great location.
Great service.
Great prices.
I order nearly all cakes and deserts from here!

Walking into this place makes me drooooool. I got the chocolate éclair which was huuge and delicious. I really wanted to try their cake slices which looked amazing so ill save that for next time.
Friend got a raspberry filled cookie which reminded me of the knotts berry shortbread cookies, also delicioso.

As many of you might know, I am a BIG dessert person. I go out of my way sometimes for particular desserts at particular places. And so, I would like to think that I have a fairly subjective point of few on good pastries/​desserts.
Freed’s Bakery… not a place I would honestly go out of my way for. Their cakes are good, dont get me wrong. But I don’t think that it is as great as everyone makes it out to be. I can actually list places that I think are better, for the same price. Some of their cakes (I have noticed) can be a bit heavy on the butter creams. I am more of a «more cake to icing ratio». It’s a cake with icing, not icing with some cake.
Also, I am a «bride-​to-​be» and done a fair share of cake tastings so far. I can also say that the price-​to-​quality here is a bit skewed. My fiancé and I are very very picky when it comes to our cake flavor, and design. Their quote was a bit on the steep-​end for us, and we found others (which i find their quality to be equally comparable to Freed’s) that would do it for cheaper.
So all in all… Freed’s is great, but not a place that I will be going for my wedding cake, nor would i go out of my way for.

The Skinny: great cakes with some misses (4).
I read about this place when researching custom cakes. I don’t live in Henderson but based on the excellent reviews we came here to try it.
Freed’s makes one of my favourite slices of chocolate cake ever. The cakes is light and frosting is flavourful. It also has a perfect ratio of cake to frosting which is hard to find (most places put way too much icing on their pastries).
Another one of our favourites is the Kalua Banana (seasonal) cake and the Black Forest. The strawberry/​chocolate cake is also quite good but I feel the Black forest with it’s exquisite cherry filling is better.
Red Velvet is also quite good (it could use a little extra cacao though) however, you have to like your cream cheese frosting with a bit of tang to it.
We’ve tried their other cakes including a white cake with marzipan, a 7-​torte white cake with chocolate ganache. I found both white cakes to be a trifle on the dry side. Neither one of these can hold a candle to the prior three.
Tried their strawberry cheesecake which was solid — lighter than your typical cheesecake. Although I have to say, I would seriously forgo the cheesecake here because the chocolate cake is so much better.
Their display case really demonstrates the artistry this establishment has with their custom cakes. Handcrafted and so beautiful to look at, one could hardly imagine that they are edible. If I had to have a wedding cake, I’d get it done here.

Heard about Freed’s Bakery on television many times before.
When it came time to order my cake, I knew it had to be from here. It’s a Vegas tradition!
What I received was the most beautiful & delicious cake.
Thank you Freed’s!

A cake so DAMN PURTY that it almost made a grown man/​former bouncer CRY…
Vegas’ top bakery for 25 years in a row, featured on the Food Network, Martha Stewart’s, «The Knot», and etc… Freed’s Bakery lives up to all the hype!
I needed to find a B-​day cake for my friend’s BIG 3-​OH B-​day in Vegas. Living in SF made it a bit of a challenge to find a bakery and this is where Unilocal came to the rescue once again!
After Nicole S. and I did some research on Unilocal, it was between Leopold’s and Freed’s. But, after Nicole sent me a picture of a Henny Cake from Freed’s website, my mouth literally dropped to floor. My friend is avid fan of Jack Daniel’s so we knew we had to get the same exact cake but in the form of a Jack bottle.
ORDER PROCESS:
Since I’m in SF, I had to call in the order. The 3D cake I wanted fed 20 people and we needed one that fed 10 people. Sandy was very helpful and instead suggested cutting a bottle shape from a sheet cake, putting fondant over, and a printed pic of Jack Daniel’s bottle which would give a somewhat of the same effect but in 2D.
She suggested their signature Barvarian Cream Filling and Buttercream Frosting. I then told her the inscription I wanted, gave her my credit card number, told her where I needed it delivered ($ 35 flat fee) and she sent me the invoice 24 hours later to make sure everything was correct.
Please note: The website states there’s a 14 day advanced notice, but I’m assuming it’s for more elaborate cakes? I ordered the cake 7 days in advance.
PRESENTATION:
We were just nearing the end of our dinner at Delmonico’s when the waitress brought out the cake. When she placed it in front of the b-​day boy, it literally blew us away and almost brought tears to his eyes. I’ve never seen a cake so detailed in my life. Words cannot describe how awesome it looked and in this instance, «pictures do speak a thousand words».
The b-​day boy spent the next 20 minutes cooing over the cake and said, «It was the highlight of his b-​day». Coming from a person that doesn’t eat desserts (even on his friend’s b-​day), he actually ate it which means A LOT!
Everyone at the restaurant kept on gawking at the cake and it was a definite showstopper!
TASTE:
Freed’s cakes is more for the «Wow» factor versus «Taste» factor. The white cake was more of a dense cake. The barvarian cream was very, very rich and little too sweet for my taste and the buttercream frosting added an additional layer of sweetness. If you’re more into the light chinatown type of cakes like I am, Freed’s cakes will be too heavy for you.
PRICING:
Yes, Freed’s cakes are pricey, but it’s the place to go if you want to impress your guests. The Jack cake which feeds 10 people was $ 90. And, there’s $ 35 delivery fee which is not bad considering it would be a $ 50+ taxi cab ride roundtrip from the strip and back.
Although my friend turned the BIG 3-​OH, we all enjoyed seeing the inner kid come out of him when he saw the cake. Freed’s – thank you for making his B-​day a memorable one!

I’m so sorry that so many other people have had such a great experience with this bakery. So either I went in on a really bad day, or I’m spoiled by good customer service on the west side of town.
I needed a baker to make my wedding cake and since Freed’s comes so highly recommended (even though I felt their prices were steep), I thought I’d check it out. From the vibe I received from the employees, it’s as if I should feel blessed that they would be making my wedding cake, and I don’t appreciate the fact that they were talking «down» to me. I wasn’t impressed with the cakes they offered me, though the frosting was okay. They DID try to push the fondant on me, and I HATE fondant – I explained that to them upfront and they were still pushy about it, then gave me attitude when I adamantly told her NO.
Freed’s wanted to charge me almost twice what the other bakers in town wanted to charge. To try and save money, I checked out their «Brides on a Budget» page on their website – those are the most God-​awful looking cakes I’ve seen in 20 years, and for the price… there’s no excuse.
I won’t ever go back and support that kind of establishment,.

Came here once to buy my husband some chocolate eclairs and a piece of chocolate cake. Such a beautiful store with all the cookies piled high.
I would come here regularly to buy him sweets except it is way too expensive. 4 chocolate eclairs and a piece of cake was over $ 20.
This is a «special occasion» place that I’d probably go to if I wanted to order a full cake. I just can’t afford to go here for pastries on a regular basis.

I received a surprise birthday cake from my fiancé. IT was chocolate– strawberry with light cream. It wasn’t too dense or sweet. Just right.
It was fantastic. My co-​workers gobbled it up.
Then we went back this weekend and got a piece of cheescake and the **black forest rasberry cake.
Both were also very good.
I would highly recommend this place for any dessert need and craving.

We used Freed’s because our venue offered a $ 200 credit towards a cake there. Freed’s has a lovely bakery location and a very nice website. They were especially helpful in allowing us to stick to our budget. They had an array of cakes to choose from within our price range. Our chocolate cake tasted wonderful and we received lots of compliments on the unique style of our cake. Customer service was wonderful too. I have absolutely no complaints about Freed’s and would highly recommend them to others.

I had an awful experience when I came in to possibly order a wedding cake from them. The cakes they gave me to try were awful! Some of the worst wedding cakes we tried. Maybe it was because they had been sitting in the fridge too long, but honestly things like that should be taken in account by them when you’re trying to sell your product.
The ladies at the desks were rude. They seemed annoyed I just came in for pricing info and to try the cake and that I wasn’t ready to book on the spot. Took 15 minutes just to get someone in that awful place to talk to me.
Cakes were overpriced and obviously I don’t think they were worth it based on the awful cake we tried. We bought some cookies to enjoy at home, but after biting into one hard, stale, crunchy cookie we threw the rest out. Does no one like soft cookies?

The Eastern location is really beautiful, clean, and inviting. I decided to order my graduation cake here and was helped by a nice consultant. She showed the types of designs that were available, flavors of cake and filling, and price.
I picked up my cake a week later and they said it would be ready by 1:00pm. I came in at 1:20ish to give them extra time. My cake wasn’t ready. They said ten minutes. Fifteen minutes later it still wasn’t ready. Several patrons who arrived after me had their cakes ready to go. At 1:50pm, almost an hour it was supposed to be done, it finally came out and it wasn’t even complete. They didn’t finish the writing. So they had to go back and finish it.
The cake was fine, it tasted great and super rich. I just wished the inept staff would have better service next time.

Hmm, I feel in such disagreement with these Unilocalers and their 5 star reviews. I really believe this place is overrated.
They forgot to write Happy Birthday on a birthday cake, when you’re paying around $ 100 for a small cake I think I shouldn’t have had to spent an hour in there because they messed up my order.
Things look really dated on most of their cakes, I got rushed through choosing my design, it didn’t even end up with exactly what I asked for anyways I’d say maybe ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. The cake was cute, but I don’t think I’ll go back for another day of stress from Freed’s bakery.

Doing a review on Freed’s is kinda like telling people that sugar is sweet. Freed’s makes the best cakes in town, duh! I’ve had tons of their cakes at different weddings, and they’re always so beautiful you don’t want to eat them, and then when you do you know why you had to. SO GOOD. Their pastries, which are not as lauded although they should be, are amazing. A co-​worker used to bring in different breakfast pastries all the time because Freed’s was on her way to work and they were always amazing. I blame them for about 10 pounds of me.
Delicious, delicious, delicious. Freed’s is the best in town, hands down.
