Simply Caketastic

I ordered a cake for my boyfriends birthday. It was his fav football team. I showed her a simple cake with the logo. She ended up adding more decorations to make the cake look wonderful! It was also a great price and no extra charge for what she added! I would keep going here! She was awesome! I forgot to mention that it also tasted amazing

My mom recommended this place to me when my wedding was two weeks away and I had no idea where I was going to order my wedding cake. She had purchased red velvet cupcakes and white cupcakes with pink frosting for my bridal shower and they not only looked great, but they were delicious! They tasted fresh and everyone really loved them. After this, we decided to purchase our wedding cake from them. We ordered a 3-​tiered red velvet cake as well as a chocolate sheet cake with buttercream frosting. I spoke to the owner on the phone and she was great. Very friendly and helpful. She was able to give us some suggestions based on our price point. I also sent her a photo of a cake that was similar to what I wanted, and when it arrived, it looked great. I was also really glad that they delivered the cake to the venue.
I have no complaints about this place. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because I think paying $ 250 for ANY cake is ridiculous, but I know that’s the going rate anywhere you go.

I ordered a cake and it was awesome! You got to try this place. The cake lady is the best and friendly service. She can you get you a cake that will please and having you craving for more. I have ordered from her numerous times all different flavors and I have never been disappointed. Recently I order a birthday cake chocolate with raspberry mousse filling way off the chart in taste and presentation. Stop in have a try of one her cakes or cupcakes and you will be back for more and more…

I Have been waiting for Marysville to have a decent bakery so I was exited to stop in and try this place. My first impression when I walked through the door was that it looked dirty and cluttered. Still I figured maybe it’s like one of those divy breakfast places that has the best breakfasts ever!
So I settled on a couple of cupcakes for our dessert (not much of a choice) and a cookie for me on the way home. The cookie wasn’t much to look at, I can decorate better than that and I don’t run a bakery. On top of the crude decoration the cookie tasted stale. As far as the cupcakes go, the actual cupcake itself was really good but the butter cream frosting wasn’t that great (Butter cream is usually my favorite). The chocolate frosting was pretty good though.
There is still ½ of each cupcake sitting on my kitchen counter and ²⁄₃ of the cookie (my husband and I shared bites to try them). I don’t know about you but still having ½ a cup cake on my counter almost 24 hours later speaks volumes in my house. Plus the $ 3.00 each cupcake was really steep for amount and quality.
Did I mention that they really need to clean this place up :/

Ordered a baby shower cake. Provided photos of what we wanted. Upon pickup the cake was the right colors but put together poorly. Mistakes near the name were covered up poorly. Needless to say it was embarrassing to show up with the cake provided. I cried the whole way there! It was too late to get a replacement cake. This company needs to work on presentation.

The cupcakes we got for our party for so delicious! The cake was moist and fluffy and the frostings were the perfect amount of sweet. We got quite a few flavors, like black & white with mocha frosting and chocolate with peanut butter frosting, and they were all good. The owner was very nice. She worked with us to match the frosting and decorations to our party color theme. We would definitely recommend her for a party, or to just stop in for a bite! While we were picking up our cupcakes we spied a rootbeer flavored cupcake in the case … We will have to be back to try that one!

We went there for a wedding cake tasting, and at first were impressed and thought it was pretty good. Then we tasted our second bite. She gave us mini cupcakes which she pulled out of the fridge for the vanilla, and those were OK. The second ones were red velvet that she pulled out of the display case and they were dry and old. We were still giving her the benefit of the doubt though and bought some cupcakes to take home with us for the people who couldn’t come with us. That’s when she told us the tasting for wedding cake was 25 dollars! Even catering tastings where you get free meals and alcohol are all free, so to charge 25 dollars for 10 bites of cake was appalling. Then, we bought 40 dollars in cupcakes… well, i should actually call them rock cakes, not cupcakes. They were as hard as bricks, and felt and tasted like they had been left out for over 2 weeks at least. Please don’t even attempt a cake tasting there, it’s not worth driving over there. This was the worst cake I have ever had, I would rather buy my wedding cake from QFC, even they have free samples!
If you want some cupcakes go to trophy cupcakes or cupcake royale which are the exact same price but a million times better!!!

I am totally in love with the «cake lady». First, she is friendly and easy to work with on all of our needs. I had a couple of last minute cake needs and she followed through the entire way. In addition, not being a creative cake person, I love that she makes and offers different types of flavors. I am an icing person and my sister is a cake person and we find a perfect blend.
One of the newest things she has is «cake in a cup» which is a perfect way to eat cake — in my opinion!
If you are looking for a good cupcake and cake story — this is the place to be for Marysville!

New bakery in a town w/​not a lot of bakery competition.
I’ve been looking for a place to get a really nice, gourmet cupcake in Marysville… I don’t have much selection to choose from in this town, so I went around to some of the grocery stores tried Haggens (they had a large cupcake, but was nothing special), and Safeway (smaller cupcake but icing was great), and then I tried this place…
The owner was very nice and cheery, she had a plate of very small bite sized chocolate w/​white icing cupcakes as samples. I tired one, and they were good, but that flavor wasn’t available to purchase that day.
I scanned the display case, trying to figure out what cupcake I wanted to take home with me. A lot of her cupcakes seemed to be made with a «buttercream/​cream cheese» frosting combo. Honestly, as a cupcake/​cake fan, and a baker myself I can’t even imagine mixing those two, and personally I cannot stand the taste of cream cheese icing so that left me with a «Chocolate Chip Cupcake (vanilla cake w/​choc chips & choc buttercream w/​choc chips on top), and my mom got a Lemon Cupcake to go.
Each cupcake was $ 2.75 (+ tax), and seemed slightly smaller than even a regular size cupcake which was kinda disappointing for the hefty price — but I wanted to try this new place out, and was hoping to me wowed & amazed by the cupcake.
My Chocolate Chip Cupcake was OK. I had good flavor, was moist, the choc buttercream was good, fresh, but there was hardly any on the cupcake. I give it a B– because I love icing. My mom’s Lemon Cupcake must have been good because she keeps saying how great the icing was. Makes me wish I was a lemon fan.
Place is a cake shop. Just that. No coffee or tea or anything to drink. No where to sit. I’m guessing she’s counting on just being a special order cake shop, the cupcakes are there so people can stop in and buy a few to take home? Not sure how any business could service on that, especially a new, unestablished business.
This is not the type of place where you’d get a cupcake, a coffee, and sit with a friend to visit.
Hours seem really short & inconsistent. I drive past this place often, and more than 2/​3rds of the time its not open.
I saw they had a booth at Marysville Strawberry Festival. On Friday I was at the Festival, it was 3pm and they were just then setting up their booth. Pretty sloppy & unprofessional in my book.
All in all, I can’t say I would go back when I get my cupcake cravings, but if they hit and I happen to be nearby, I might stop & give a second chance, although Safeway can better satisfy my cravings for less and they are just a couple of blocks away…
Really wish Caketastic’s cupcakes were bigger (especially for the price), and had more icing, like Cupcake Royale in Seattle, Bite Me at the Everett Mall, Gigi’s Cupcakes in Las Vegas, ect.
