The Cakelicious Bakery

I liked my 22^nd birthday cake. The lady was nice and helpful. It was kinda hard to locate it. I’m all about supporting small businesses!

This bakery was close to my house and I was hosting a baby shower so I gave it a try.
I WAS SO SORRY I DID. You could taste the sugar granules in the icing and the cake was dry. She charged four times as much as a store bakery.
I would have been happy to pay more because I thought I was getting a professional bakers product but instead I got a poorly made cake that didn’t look as nice as the cakes at HEB or Kroger.
I had to take the cake because it was too late to order another one.
BE WARNED.

I really love living in Pearland therefore I try whenever possible to take my business to local merchants. We are planning our little girls 3^rd birthday party, and needed a «princess cake»…so decided to go stop by The Cakelicious Bakery just down from
my house. When I walked in, there were two others having cupcakes at a small table. Good sign… if people are actually staying and enjoying their purchase. Well… not so much!
I ask the woman at the counter about the cake I wanted, she assisted me with picking out the perfect princess cake…$ 195 dollars (ouch). I thought that was expensive, but it was for my little girl. Cake Ordered @ 3:23PM on 1÷5÷16. I was happy! I also took four cupcakes to go for the family. Got home had dinner… then pulled out the cupcakes. I have kids that eat anything sweet… We all started eating… these cupcakes were SOOOOOO dry. The icing tastes horrible… Kids did not like them! Now I am second guessing my decision for this cake…
The next morning I realized that my partner had already ordered the cake (actually cupcakes from Crave! YUM! At 11:14 AM on 1/16/16…I called and explained the mistake… The woman on the other end of the phone said…“That’s your fault, you should have communicated better with your wife”…(Excuse Me?). She said that it was policy to only refund ½ the money of any cancelled cake orders. I explained to her that it hasn’t even been 24 hrs. She hung up on me!
I called back…(honestly I was mad now). I tried to explain the situation again. She told me, «You don’t listen well, your only getting half your money back»…its policy… she said, «I’m just a worker… talk to Alex Santana he is the owner. Not worth it… so Mr Santana if you are reading this… and If you are going to have this unrealistic policy… then it should be posted somewhere or you should have customers sign a contract. Oh and by the your staff is extremely unprofessional and the cakes they make are DRY and tasteless!
On January 22… Mr. Santana called me to discuss my cake order. He was very professional and refunded me 85% of what I paid

Just happened to drive by and see the sign today. Never knew this place was here. Smallish storefront. Cookies, cupcakes, and petit fours for sale, there were sample cakes. I’m sure specialty cakes are the bulk of their business.
I didn’t want to leave empty handed so I got an oatmeal raisin cookie. It was pretty tasty.

The cake I bought at this bakery was very dry. The decoration looked great, I just had swirls like roses. I felt like the cake was done days before and that’s why the cake was dry. The cake was very expensive. I was charged for every little thing. It came out to be $ 60 for about 5 people to eat.

The cake I got here for my stepson’s birthday was perfect! It completely matched the picture I showed. I could not have asked for a better cake. It was so delicious as well!
The service was great also; everyone was so nice! I am so impressed by this cake that I recommend this bakery to everyone I know. Thanks so much!

Not overly impressed. It’s a little hard to find. You have to know where to look.
I got a chocolate chocolate, red velvet, Italian cream, & rum Italian cream.
The chocolate had a weird… wang/​weird taste. I did like the cream/​pudding in the middle. The icing was actually a little under sweet. I didn’t know that was possible.
Italian cream: a bit dry. The icon has a slight lard taste.
Red Velvet: cake was very dry. The icing was not sweet at all.
Rum cream: cake was hard and dry. The icing had a lingering lard taste.
I won’t be back. *blegh*

I experienced bad luck from the start with this bakery. My daughter’s birthday cake was sliding and tiers became uneven. Also, box was too small and cake sides were touching it. I had to return it to get it fixed. I made a total of three trips through out the process in a day. The situation was very inconvenient and disappointing! Never again will I use this bakery.

I give Alex a 5 star on all the cookies and two birthday cakes for my husbands 65^th birthday, great work, on time, yummy and all my guest loved them, yay!

I ordered my daughter’s Guitar shaped cake here about 5 yrs ago and was very happy with it… so when I needed a special cake for my mom’s 60^th birthday party, I immediately thought of Cakelicious. I ordered the cake over the phone and was a little nervous if what I wanted was conveyed through a quick conversation. I was delighted when I picked up the BEAUTIFUL, elegant cake. It was perfect! Not only did it look amazing but everything from the icing to the moist carrot cake flavor was delicious.
Everyone at the party was talking about the cake.

Ordered cupcakes this past weekend for a baby shower. Only options in Pearland are this place or Nothing Bundt Cakes. This place is cheaper than the latter so I chose them. Wish I’d just spent more on bundts. Here’s why: when you buy cupcakes you expect something extra special that tastes really great, moist, etc. Both their icing recipe and cake recipe are just weird. The cake was not moist at all, they were crumbling so much that when I picked one up out of the paper wrapper it fell apart. If you like Sprinkles or Gigi’s cupcakes you will not like this place, they are nothing like that. I love supporting small businesses but this place just needs to change their recipe, end of story. Also we got cake balls. No one at the party liked them at all. I feel bad saying this but it’s the truth & I hope the owner reads this & decides to work on the product more. Best of luck to you!

I ordered my wedding cake from this bakery. Cake was good so would give it 3 or 4 stars there. However, the agreed upon delivery time was 4:15 — 4:45, which I remember seeing written on the order form and they didn’t arrive until 5:40. My wedding planner called them 3 times with them saying they were on their way and no other explanation. The cake table was set up in the back of the venue where the ceremony was (we had to flip the room after). Upon arrival they wanted to quietly sneak in and just place the cake on the table (20 feet behind the guest). My wedding planner would not allow this to happen after them asking because they needed to move on. She made them wait 25 minutes before the ceremony was over. Disappointing that their delivery time was 1.5 hours late than agreed upon.
Also going back to the tasting. We had an appointment and I’m not sure if they forgot we were coming but we had to wait about 10 minutes before the samples were brought out. I guess that should have been a sign that time management of this business has an opportunity.

I guess all the cupcakes from the day before that were priced ½ off should have been my red flag not to use this bakery for my step sons Eagle Scout ceremony. Secondly the owner had an attitude like I was an inconvenience. The cupcakes were hideous looking compared to what I asked for and tasted just as bad. $ 260 for 70 cupcakes

I’m all for small businesses and majority of the time I find a gem… but that wasn’t the case with Cakelicious Bakery. I had been wanting to stop by for months, today I actually had time. I got 2 lemon cake pops, 1 strawberry cupcake, 1 chocolate cupcake, and 1 banana cupcake. Talk about disappointed… I could have made better cupcakes from a cake mix. Matter of fact I would have much rather eat box cake mix cupcakes. The icing had a weird taste (for some reason it reminded me of the taste of a glazed Shipley’s Donut). The banana cupcake didn’t even taste like bananas… it was disgusting. The strawberry cupcake… well typical of a box mix. The chocolate I didn’t even want to try… but I did just in case I was over exaggerating of the flavors… nope I wasn’t wrong same weird icing only chocolaty and the actual cupcake dry… dry…dry! Will I ever go back… Nope!

We used this bakery for my son’s first birthday this weekend. Cake was beautiful and all my guest commented on how good it was. The only reason I gave them 4 not 5 stars was I do think it was a bit pricey but ultimately probably worth what we paid!

The service is fantastic and the cupcakes here are delicious! They can design anything — and I mean anything you can imagine for a special occasion. (Take a look at their gallery to see their works of art.) They have the right combination of icing to cake ratio in every bite. If you like cupcakes a little on the lighter/​moister side, you will definitely enjoy these.

Made a great fire truck birthday cake for my three year old. He was very pleased with it. It tasted pretty good, my only complaint is that the colored icing used to draw the truck tasted a little funny to me. May have need the coloring used, not sure. But overall, did a great job and we will use them again.

I purchased a Groupon deal for the cake and used this weekend. Overall, the cake was pretty good — comparable to a cake from Sam’s. I did like that the cake was fresh, but not very flavorful. The $ 15 Groupon allowed us to get a $ 30 cake, but the decorations were minimal I could’ve gotyen the same cake with designs at Sam’s for $ 25.

I ordered a baby shower cake for my best friend, went in on sat to pick it up and it was gorgeous! However, as I placed it carefully in my car, I hadn’t even made it out of the parking lot and the cakes layers started to literally shift like the leaning tower of Ibiza. It was coming apart at the seams. Panicking I pulled back into my parking spot freaking out because the bakery closed for the weekend in less then 3 hours. I was told I would need to pay additional money for them to redo it. Being 8 months pregnant and panicking I spoke with the owner Alex on the phone. He was AMAZING! He not only let me yell, cry and freak out, he calmly said we will make this right for you. He promised to bring in the baker and cake decorator both on their day off Sunday (baby shower day) and redo it all but this time it would be placed in cooler to HARDEN it, not room temp. Sure enough, I met Maria sun am and it was hard and held up during the long car ride to the venue in Houston. I’m so thankful for the entire team/​company working together to fix this, and make it right. They did not leave me hanging without a baby shower cake! Thank you Alex for being so understanding and professional! I will for sure use them again in the future.

I just had the most amazing gluten free blueberry cupcakes from The Cakelicious Bakery. You would never know they are gluten free. Most and delicious cake with a very tasty sweet and light icing. If you need gluten free this is the place to get your cupcakes. I have also ordered delicious gluten free cakes as well.
