The cake I ordered was exactly as I ordered it if not better, my wife loved her birthday cake. - 6/14/2026 

The cake for my son's graduation was delicious with custom decorations that made it a show piece for the party. John was responsive to my inquiries and we were able to settle on a design that fit within my budget. I would work with Raleigh Cakes again and I recommend them for those looking for delicious custom cakes. - 6/14/2026 

I called Raleigh Cakes, on a whim, just from doing a Google search. I sent a picture of the cake I wanted. When I picked up the cake, I was so impressed with the detail. Even though they don't have a store front, the pickup plans were extremely easy. The cake was good, it traveled well (2 hours) and held up well. I would definitely order from them again. - 6/10/2026 

I loved the results!!! It was the cutest little dumpling cake for my little dumpling! The cake itself was so moist and tasty! I got the s’mores flavorings and you can taste the graham crackers and marshmallows, which was great against the perfectly chocolatey chocolate cake! Great customer service via email with John too! He answered every one of my questions thoroughly until I was confident ordering from them. 10/10 would recommend Raleigh Cakes! - 6/09/2026 

Raleigh cakes was amazing, and i for sure will order again next time! I was very satisfied with the final product :) - 6/08/2026 

Raleigh Cakes was absolutely wonderful to work with! I needed a gender reveal cake for my best friend on very short notice, and they were able to turn around the order in just a day or two. The cake was adorable, delicious, and made the reveal so special. Everyone was incredibly kind, accommodating, and easy to work with from start to finish. I’m so grateful for their help and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful custom cake! - 6/08/2026 

My daughter’s one year old BDAY cake was not only delicious but so freaking cute!! I will 1000000% be ordering all my cakes from them in the future! - 6/08/2026 

Raleigh Cakes created an absolutely beautiful cake for our wedding day. It was everything we wanted and more. Not to mention, it tasted divine. We will come back again for future event cakes. Can’t recommend supporting this small business enough! - 6/08/2026 

We hired Raleigh Cakes for our wedding cake and dessert table, and were very impressed with every aspect from the ordering process to the final delivery. John was so helpful and guided us as we picked out our cake flavors and dessert options. The delivery was smooth, and the cake was delicious and loved by all of our guests! I would highly recommend this company for any specialty cakes. - 6/05/2026 

Raleigh Cakes are local bakers with a great eye for art, an elevated knowledge of flavor combinations, and a focus on great customer service. They keep open communication to ensure they deliver the cake experience you as a customer want and appreciate. Once you contact them, they will offer different flavor options based on your request, each delicious and amazing on their own.They do not use processed ingredients for their cakes, so you know you will get maximum freshness, flavor and a cake you and your guests will praise and remember. These are not buttercream-frosted supermarket cakes, is what I'm saying.They do not have a storefront, so all communication is done over the phone/email but do have a local restaurant partner for you to do your flavor testing and continue the process to place your order. They offer both delivery and pick up options, just make sure you place your order with enough time to allow for the best planning possible. - 6/04/2026 

Highly recommend this place. My wife and I both enjoyed our wedding cake. - 6/03/2026

Raleigh Cakes made my daughter’s 5th birthday cake, and it looked and tasted amazing! The entire process was easy from start to finish. They took the time to get every detail exactly how I wanted it, and the cake was delivered right on time for our party. The quality, customer service, and attention to detail were outstanding. Such an amazing company I highly recommend them! - 6/02/2026 

Excellent customer service that was able to see my vision through and bake a delicious cake. - 5/29/2026 

Raleigh Cakes by far exceeded my expectations of one of the best looking and taking cakes I have ever seen. John (owner) was so patient with me when designing the cake for my husband's 70th birthday party, which also played 3 songs from Van Halen. It was a soft lemon flavor. I would definitely recommend Raleigh Cakes if you have a special event. Thank you John and the team for making my husband's day so special with ending the day, enjoying the tastefully cake that Rocked the party! - 5/28/2026 

Was looking for a special cake for a college graduation dinner for friends and family. I wanted a festive cake that also tasted delicious. Raleigh Cakes was a pleasure to work with and the cake was simply fantastic! John was on top of every detail regarding the cake and the delivery to our restaurant venue. I find that customer service like this is a rarity these days. FYI, We ordered a two -tiered vanilla cake with Oreo filling designed with college logos. All of the guests wanted to know where I got it. All of the graduates wanted a photo with the cake. Can’t wait to try other flavors for other occasions! - 5/21/2026 

Raleigh Cakes was responsive and able to use the inspiration pictures and direction I provided to create the most adorable cake and cupcakes for a first birthday. Pickup was a breeze with staff helping me carry boxes to my car. They have lots of flavor and filling options and we got so many comments on how tasty the almond cake with raspberry filling was. I will definitely be using them again! - 5/20/2026 

John and Aurora were absolutely fantastic to work with and made our wedding cake happen in such a short amount of time. The design was beautiful and the cake was delicious. The strawberry lemon tier is what dreams are made of-literal perfection. Everyone talked about how beautiful it was, and more importantly, how delicious it was.I can’t thank Raleigh Cakes enough. They made our wedding cake dreams come true. If you’re looking for good people, delicious cake, and exceptional customer service, you’ve landed in right place. - 5/19/2026 

If you’re seeking exceptional quality cakes paired with impeccable service, this is the place to be.

You’ll always have a loyal customer in us. - 5/17/2026 

Amazing cake!! The menu made it easy to choose the right cake that fit our theme. All of our guests complimented how great the cake looked and tasted!! Will definitely be ordering from them again soon for our next birthday event!! - 5/17/2026 

There was a system error with the pickup date and my cake wasn’t ready when I arrived. After I called about this, I was given a completely free delivery that same day and a partial refund! The cake is beautiful and smells amazing. 10/10 customer service, I will definitely order from here again. - 5/15/2026

I would highly recommend Raleigh Cakes to anyone looking for a celebratory and extremely tasty cake! - 5/10/2026 

You will NOT regret using this bakery. Artistry, customer service and product were amazing. To say it was the best cake we have ever had was an understatement. Aurora - you are amazing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Raleigh Cakes made our grandson Charlie’s 4th birthday absolutely magical! The “How to Train Your Dragon” cake and dragon egg cupcakes were stunning—true works of art—and tasted just as amazing as they looked. Moist, delicious, and beautifully detailed. Their team was professional and brought our vision to life perfectly. Highly recommend! 🎂🐉✨ - 5/04/2026 

They made a bollywood themed cake for my wife's birthday. It was beautifully designed and tasted great. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great special occasion cake! - 5/03/2026 

I had a great experience with Raleigh Cakes, communication was very clear, efficient and service was excellent!I was super happy with the result of my request and the cake was delicious! - 5/03/2026 

Look no further—this is truly the place to order your cake! I was searching for a wedding cake for my daughter’s wedding and needed one that could be delivered directly to the venue. From the very beginning, their communication was incredibly quick and professional, which made the entire process stress-free. We ordered a three-tier Funfetti cake, and it was hands down the best cake I have ever had. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it and kept asking where it was made. The cake was delivered right on time and looked exactly like the photo I provided. I will not be going anywhere else for a cake again! - 4/28/2026 

Details thru me away - 4/27/2026

Raleigh Cakes was fantastic! They worked with us every step of the way until we had the perfect groom’s cake. Not only was the cake a conversation piece, it tasted so good. They truly went over and beyond! - 4/22/2026 

Raleigh Cakes made the most beautiful Noah's Ark baby shower cake for our celebration. After exchanging a few emails and pictures of what I was looking for, John (who always responded quickly) and I decided on an idea and the cake was exactly what I had in mind! We couldn't stop looking at how beautiful the decorating techniques were. We almost didn't want to cut into it, but are so glad that we did as it was also delicious! The buttercream, especially, received positive comments from people but the whole cake was heavenly. I cannot wait until I have another opportunity to use Raleigh Cakes again. - 4/21/2026 

Our wedding cake was absolutely delicious! After trying a couple of bakers my husband and I fell in love with the sample cupcakes they made, that we even ordered a second sample of different flavors. We knew Raleigh Cakes was the right choice! - 4/14/2026 

Raleigh Cakes exceeded my expectations for my cake. They were very thorough, had great communication, and the cake was delicious. I will always plan to order from them from now on. 10/10. - 4/13/2026 

Found Raleigh Cakes online and was glad I did! John was great with helping me settle on a birthday cake for my wife's 60th. He understood my vision of what the look of the cake might be, and helped me understand the different cake & icing types available. The cake came out PERFECT!Thanks John! - 4/13/2026 

I could not be more grateful for how this cake turned out. They went above and beyond for what I asked for! They are very thorough in the questions they ask to be sure they get you what you're asking for! We will definitely be coming here again for future occasions. 10/10 - 4/12/2026 

I usually make my own cakes so this was the first time I’ve ever bought a custom cake. It will definitely not be the last. I sent an inspo pic and, quite honestly, hers is prettier than the inspo. It was for a Sweet Sixteen party and everyone absolutely loved it. Great communication, easy process and just really impressive. I had multiple people ask for the bakery information after seeing and tasting it because they were so impressed! - 4/12/2026 

This was one of the best tasting cakes I have EVER had! And they did all their research on the design! We all absolutely loved it! - 4/11/2026 

This cake was absolutely incredible! The buttercream was the best my wife has ever tasted, and she really knows her stuff when it comes to baking. The decorations were perfect, and the cake was moist and delicious. We were disappointed with our previous cake from a different bakery last year (check out my reviews), so we were thrilled to find this amazing place. If I could give 10 stars I would!!! - 4/07/2026 

Saved the Day at the last minute:I had placed a unique cake order from another “prominent” cake shop in the Raleigh area for my daughter’s sweet 16 and they canceled my order 6 days before her party. I immediately scrambled to find another cake shop to save the day and the only ones who stepped in and saved the day were Raleigh Cakes. Not only did they do the custom cake we asked for, they also tweaked the design to make it even better. If you want quality, professionalism, and folks who love what they do; they are the one for the job. - 3/14/2026 

I called the team at Raleigh Cakes in the middle of a rare snowstorm after a different team cancelled a custom birthday order due to the weather. Not only did they operate within a limited timeframe for my girlfriend’s birthday, but the cake came out more beautiful than it had any right being under that much time pressure. From first call to final product, they followed the design to the utmost detail and the flavor/moisture were exactly what we were searching for. It normally takes a few tries to find a good baker, especially when moving from another state; glad to say we found ours. - 3/13/2026 

Raleigh Cakes was amazing to work with! They completely understood my vision and had no problem making adjustments if needed! Everyone at our event loved everything and raved about how delicious it was! Can’t thank them enough! - 3/08/2026
