I had a very hard time trying to find a bakery that would make a Zootopia cake the way that I wanted for my grandson well, I have to say that cake express did an outstanding job!

Seeing that I’m from Palm Springs, CA and not knowing the area, I had to rely on Unilocal to bring me to this place. Lemme just express my gratitude to Cake Express for doing such a phenomenal job on my daughter’s 2nd bday cake! It was a Frozen Fever theme, so I was particular to which colors & flowers I wanted and these ladies got down and delivered a stunning and delicious 2-​tiered round cake. Definitely recommend to any parents who want a unique, yummy cake for their little ones.

This place used to be the place our family got our birthday cakes for 10+ years until the last 3 – 4 cakes we had were so dry it was almost inedible. Each time we called to let them know and each time we got a basically got a response of «okay. our other cakes are fine» followed by silence. Its comical how small businesses who get some success start feeling entitlement and start losing their customer service. Alternatively, we started getting our cakes at Safeway! which are consistently moist, delicious, and WAYY cheaper than this place.

As always, they hit it out of the park!
Ordered two full sheets and a round center cake for our Tio/Tia’s 50th anniversary party. They were beautiful! I asked for a specific purple and they matched it, and added butterflies which have sentimental meaning for our Tia and Prima.
The cake was moist, fresh
Thank you so much!

For over 30 years, cakes for any occasion were ordered from the same bakery. That is no longer the case since we happened upon Cake Express. Needing a dessert for a Christmas gathering, we ordered the white cake with strawberries and whipped cream frosting per reviews on Unilocal.Not only was the cake OMG delicious, it was beautifully hand-​decorated with a Christmas theme. We have again ordered this cake for our New Year’s Eve gathering, and we can’t wait to share it!

After driving around Salinas for awhile looking for a bakery that was open, they were all closed on a Sunday. I didn’t want to go to Safeway or any other grocery store then I remembered this place. We’ve never been here and hoped they might be open on a Sunday, Yes! they were. We came in for a last minute birthday cake. I really like white cake with strawberries and whip cream frosting. I m thinking please have this as we walked tru the door. Well they had some naked cakes in the display case just waiting for some whip cream frosting and yes they have stawberries hooray!
The ladies were friendly and very helpful, nice customer service. They said it would be done in 45 mins and it was pretty close to 55 mins so only had to wait a tad.
The parking lot is small but didn’t have a problem getting in and out.
M y cake was a ½ sheet for $ 30.00 it was moist and delicious

Hidden little gem. If I saw this place driving around I don’t think I’d stop in. Good thing my bf is originally from Salinas. He said his family use to get cakes here.
So on our way down from SJ for the brother in laws birthday the parents asked if we could pick up a cake. We stopped by safeway and the cakes were crap looking. Over priced for cakes premade. Bf said to stop by this place since we were going to head over to save mart (I’m sure save mart would be overpriced as well but maybe a bigger selection?) This store didn’t have any premade cakes so they said they could have on done at 530. It was almost 430 when we walked into the store. We ended up getting a freshly made birthday cake for$ 25. Marble cake with chocolate mousse filling. So good and so fluffy!
Thank you ladies for taking in a last minute order!

Came here to get a birthday cake. I had never been here before. I wanted a fresh cake, not one from the grocery. I didn’t preorder and I got a nice 8″ white cake with strawberry filling. Frosting was whipped crème with buttercream roses. Cake was moist and delicious, just as I would expect. Frosting was not sweet but had a creamy flavor. Filling was fresh, not jam. I paid only $ 25. Service was friendly. Parking can be tight. I’ll be coming back for more cakes. BTW, it’s cash only.

I was looking for a birthday cake for myself and I decided to go on Unilocal looking for a place. I came upon this place so I decided to call to ask about pricing. Let me just say how expensive they are. I wanted a round cake for 8 ppl with buttercream frosting and roses all around the cake with an ombré effect. They said it was going to be $ 50 for that!!! They are crazy. I decided to look for a place in Monterey and let me tell you I got the same cake for $ 30! Yes $ 30 at room for dessert!!! Lets just say this place is overpriced for being in salinas.

Absolutely love this place–
They always have some pre-​made cakes available in 15 mins for when you need something last min. And have a variety of designs to choose from if your looking for something more personalized (usually order mine a couple days before)
The whip cream frosting is SO good. Not too sweet and the perfect consistency!
The only place to get amazingly delicious cakes in Salinas– our family goes nutts for their white cake with whip cream and fresh strawberry filling. Yum!

I was so extremely pleased with the amazing last minute cake they were able to create in under an hour. After I had first came to pick up a pre purchased cake from Safeway earlier that day, Looking completely unfinished with a five year old penmanship. I am so thankful for cake express to have done such an incredible cake at the last minute after Safeway completely messing up.

I usually do not ever leave reviews, nor a bad one at that. However, my most recent encounter left a bad taste in my mouth. Dont get me wrong, this place makes great cakes! Too delicious. I’ve been ordering cakes from here for over 7yrs… same size, same type, same fillings… BUT the price ranges ALL the damn time… One time it’ll be affordable/​reasonable, the next time it is extremely expensive. Most recently I ordered a ½ sheet which came out to $ 75, whereas previously I ordered a full sheet, same cake & filling as previous, but was only $ 100??? They state it’s because of my «decoration.» The funny thing is, my decoration was soO damn plain, no design, just a little bit of color and writing… But with the full sheet in the past, I had put a design AND a picture. I’m pretty disappointed about my recent purchase. I’m not too sure if I’ll be returning considering their fluctuating prices. It’s like they just decide to throw whatever price they want out there.

We’ve been getting cakes here for family events for years and always get compliments at parties. You know you have a good cake when people at the party keep asking, «Where did you get this?!» Cake Express also did my wedding cake in 2004 and I was very pleased with not only the cake, but them helping me design what I want and getting it delivered timely and assembled for the reception. Any bride can appreciate all of that!
They have a great selection of cake flavors and cake fillings. Be sure to ask them for the full menu of choices as I’m not sure they have listed on any menu.
