Castle of Cakes

Needed a custom birthday cake ASAP! And to be delivered while I was at work. This AWESOME place did it in less than a 24 hour notice.
Thank you sooo much!

We have been here multiple times on various playdates. It is fun for the kids every time and a good mommy-​daughter bonding time. Twice we went during class times in a group but this time we called and set up a playdate for two girls alone. It was a big hit. They decorated 9 cupcakes with various pictures, using different colored icing they got to mix, sprinkles, nilla wafers, and even were able to place icing in bags to make more specific decorations. The woman who taught the class was good about taking pictures, instructing and demonstrating on their level and encouraging the teamwork.
The only reason not 5 stars is all three times we did the same pictures which my daughter remembered, and she didn’t like the taste of the cupcakes. But for the experience it is definitely fun. Maybe we should try the cake pops or fondant class next time.

Wonderful cake Sonya. We loved it. Castle of cakes made our birthday cake for our first annual dinner and benefit and printed our logo on it. What I loved about her cake was it was rich, not too sweet and a real cake unlike the supermarket cakes that are more light a sponge. Thank-​you. :) She delivered it on time with only a few days notice.

I purchased a groupon for a dozen cupcakes. I was sorely disappointed when I went in and saw the selection available. They told me I would need to put in an order for «chocolate». As I was planning on bringing these cupcakes to a special event, I left and purchased full price at the Cupcakery. The quality does not compare! I could make the same at home.

We looked for something different to do in Vegas for an afternoon. With all the cooking shows on television, this one was intriguing. Located in a strip mall with many empty spots, they are in the process of moving, you need to overlook the area and enter into Sonya’s world. She has such personality that if she were to teach you to tie your shoe, it would be a fun thing to do.
My sister and I had no experience with piping or cake decorating, but we made several really nice cupcakes that I would be proud to show off, they are on the facebook page, and I think I could replicate them. So, it was loads of fun, a great way to spend an afternoon, and we both learned how to pipe and brought home some really cool cupcakes to show off. We’ll do it again with another of her classes to learn some more techniques.

I purchased this groupon waaaay back when, and I meant to use it when my family & I came to Vegas after my wedding, as a way of treating them to the little things I knew I wasn’t going to be able to incorporate into my wedding (like cake pops).
It was so crazy when we were all there (imagine six different families scurrying about), and away my groupon went, into expired-​land.
Months and months later, my husband and I are set on using up all of our unused/​expired Groupons, in an attempt to not spend (much) on a Vegas trip we took. This was part of it, and a great part indeed.
The lady wanted me to have fresh ones, but I told her we were only in town for the weekend. She tossed in a few extras, so that we’d know which ones were our favorites — and so glad she did. My husband loved the creamsicle (orange) one (no surprise), and my favorite was the vanilla one.
We had all different kinds of flavors — berry, lemon, chocolate, red velvet, etc. A great variety of flavors, I’d definitely recommend getting an assorted bunch.
Will be back again for sure!

Castle of Cakes is the BEST at what they do. We ordered a yellow cake, with blue whipped cream frosting and a tailored design of booties, baby bottles and rattles for my baby shower. I must say, they prepared a beautifully decorated cake to welcome our twins. The decorations were custom designed and the taste won the crowd over. If you’re not big on sweets, ask for the whipped cream frosting in place of the butter cream; you won’t be disappointed.
I’m looking forward to my next trip to Vegas so I can try their warm lemon cake!!!

I can’t see how this place is going to survive! I bought a Groupon ($ 12 for 1 dozen cupcakes). I placed my order 2 days in advance and requested them to be ready at 2pm today. When ordering I asked for birthday like sprinkles. Today I called around 11am because I was in the area and thought maybe I would check and see of they were ready. Nope-​no biggie. I returned at 2:15pm. I walked in to a very unappealing store… not what you would expect from a bakery. There were 2 girls sitting on barstools talking. I asked about my cupcakes and the confused girl went and brought the most un-​enthusiastic apparent owner who said they were baking and would not be done until 3pm. She attempted to try and piece together from 2 pink boxes in a fridge (probably from yesterday) cupcakes that had baby blue frosting and another with pink sprinkles… really, I was not going to a baby shower! So I said forget it and left. I am not worried about getting my money back from Groupon… but seriously don’t waste your time with this place. If you live in Henderson or near by go to Cupcakery or the new awesome Gimme Some Sugar or drive anywhere else. Both are what you expect from professionals! Based on the reviews, I am sure a store cake would taste better… glad I didn’t have to go through the embarrasment of showing up with garbage from this horrible place!

I found them on Groupon. 24 cupcakes for $ 22.
I was not impressed at first by the presentaion… meaning the cupcakes did not look at pretty as other cupcake places. HOWEVER I must say that me and my guests were very impressed by the taste. We got lemon, red velvet and chocolate and the cupcake itself was fluffy, moist and flavorful! Again the decorating was very simple BUT I would rather have a tasty cupcake than a pretty overpriced one. I liked them and I will be going back!

I am a huge cupcake lover and maker and to say this place was terrible is a huge understatement. I got a Living Social deal for 12 jumbo cupcakes and tried to reach Castle of Cakes several times with no such luck. The first attempt was back in October to order the cupcakes for my daughter’s 4^th birthday. The owner recommended that customers text her the information so after doing this, she did not respond until days later when it was too late to order for my daughter’s birthday. The second time I tried to order was a week ago. Again, I could not reach anyone over the phone and the message recommended emailing them. I emailed with an explanation, date of when I would like the cupcakes, and the flavors, with a few questions. By the time I received an email back from Sonya it was already the day I wanted to have them by. She said to text her with the day because that would work better. I did just that and readjusted when I wanted them since that day again had passed. Thank God I kept all the texts and emails because when I went to pick them up she was extremely rude, and said that they were supposed to be for several days ago, and that she had made them and nobody picked them up. I whipped out my cell phone and showed her the texts and emails that prove she was indeed wrong and that they were due today at that time. She didn’t quite know what to do and said she was baking some right now and she would get some together for us (my 10 year old daughter was with me). She made us wait without offering a thing. She was rude, the place is a dump, and the quality of work is absolutely awful and how she gets anyone to order a thing from her is beyond me! We wait for 30 minutes and she puts an assortment together that is not what I had ordered ahead of time, but at this point I honestly don’t care. She actually had the audacity to say I owed her $ 3.25 for tax. I was astonished that after all of her errors that she would request this of a customer. I only had a debit card with me and she said her machine wasn’t working so not to worry that she will let it slide this time because I will be back. Are you kidding me?! I couldn’t get out fast enough… and as thought the cupcakes are awful folks! If you know anything about baking you will taste that she doesn’t use real butter in her buttercream but shortening and it’s not the kind of quality you would expect from a bakery that specializes in cakes. Don’t just walk away from this place, run as fast as you can to Gigi’s Cupcakes or Madhatter Cupcakes to get your «cupcake fix» for Castle of Cakes is horrendous on all levels… trust me and the other bad reviews!

Awful customer service. I live in D. C but visited las Vegas over Christmas. I had purchased a groupon for my 2 daughters to take a baking class at castle of cakes. My husband called to make an appt. A woman answered at 9:00 a.m. half asleep said she would call back in a few minutes. Called her back at noon and she says in an extremely rude manner, «didn’t I say I would call you back later?!» Needless to say, I did NOT choose to bring my daughters to the baking class. NO, I would not recommend going to or purchasing ANYTHING from this place.

I have had the pleasure to have lots of cakes decorated from SONYA the owner~~ She has great ideas of design ~ and cool Ideas~
Great Experience ~ Decorating is one of her best talents ~
She respects my ingredients as vegan ~ she has done a great job every time I am very happy with Castle Of Cakes
NO I hear she has classes ~ OOMMGG great Idea ~
The owner is very friendly ~

I hate to say it but I agree with the other users. The cupcakes we received from a groupon were very bland, small, and not up to par with grocery store cakes or cupcakes.

I hate to leave bad reviews but it is what it is. You are better off ordering a cake from your local grocery store. It will be less expensive and more professional looking. In some fairness to the owner, she got stuck with us because another chef couldn’t do it last minute. So maybe it was a «rush» job (she had 24 hour notice) and normally her cakes are beautiful, I don’t know. If that was the case though, she just should have told us she couldn’t take the job and we could have easily run to Costco and grabbed a cake. Instead we got a cake that people were SHOCKED came from a professional bakery. It was such a waste of money.

Yet another Groupon alert.
FYI — The Castle of Cakes location is actually :
750 E. Pyle
Las Vegas, NV 89 183
Me and my girls decided to try another girls days out with our Cupcake Decorating class.
Not really sure cupcake decorating is for me, but it is a fun and interesting class if you have the attention span for it. There were plenty of stay at home moms there who have many kid’s birthday parties to decorate for whom this would be much more useful for.
They also have classes and Birthday Party /​Cupcake Decorating parties for kids of any age that I would recommend.
Definitely for a specific demographic, but fun and creative activity for all age groups.
I can’t speak to their pastries and cakes, but I had to say based on their samples, pictures and a tasting of some of their cupcake flavorsI wasn’t entirely impressed by that aspect of the business. Stick with the decorating classes.
