Raleigh Cakes did my gender reveal cake and I could not have been happier with it. I'm not even sure the reference photo I gave them was a cake I'm pretty sure it was a... Read more porcelain pumpkin but the recreated perfectly with my colors! Highly recommend. I did non traditional colors for the gender reveal and asked them to have it spill out sprinkles which they did. Overall completely fantastic cake.

Highly recommended for everyone. They made everything so simple.

It’s perfectly fine that the cake came in just under the wire—what mattered is that Raleigh Cakes absolutely delivered. The customization and collaboration were fantastic, and the result blew us away. This was the only bakery...

My wife’s reaction says it all: “This is not only the best cake I’ve ever had, it’s a breakthrough flavor that should be sold to the masses.” Huge thanks to the Raleigh Cakes team—you should be proud of this one. We’ll definitely be ordering again.

The most delicious and breathtakingly beautiful cakes ever. If you can imagine it, they can make it!

The Raleigh Cakes team have outdone themselves! I could not have asked for a better cake. They added so much attention to detail in making a replica of a Fallout Power Armor Helmet that even... Read more the small screws looked real! It is made of Red Velvet Cake with Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream, fondant, chocolate, and licorice (for the wires). They were able to make about 95% of it edible and everyone absolutely loved it! If you’re looking for someone to make a realistic 3D cake I HIGHLY recommend Raleigh Cakes.

My son got married 9.13.25. I hired Raleigh Cakes to make a Groom's Cake for the Rehearsal Dinner. My son is an avid golfer and loved Mario and Nintendo as a young boy,... Read more etc. I didn't want to do a golf bag... I wanted something unique and different that described my son. His groomsmen when they saw the cake, said that was Sooo him! Raleigh Cakes worked with me and created a 2' standing Mario golfing! It was absolutely perfect! Truly gave us a memory to such a special occasion for our family! Highly recommend them... they even delivered the cake for me!

Aurora was absolutely fantastic to work with! She is so talented and will help you come up with a design for an absolutely beautiful and delicious cake! She is also extremely talented in baking gluten... Read more free cakes as well as macarons! She created my bridal shower cake, rehearsal dinner cake, wedding cake, and gender reveal cake, all of which were gluten free or partially gluten free and I highly recommend her work to everyone!

Aurora at Raleigh Cakes was amazing to work with. We had a bday dinner at Ruth’s Chris and since I am from out of town, I paid a very reasonable delivery fee to the restaurant,... Read more so it was there when I arrived to decorate the table. The level of detail on the cake was so intricate that everyone could not believe it was a cake. Every staff member came over to check it out and I almost grabbed it by the handles because it looked so real! The entire cake was edible. The Vueve bottle at the top was made from a chocolate shell with Rice Krispie treats on the inside. (Bday girls favorite). Not only was it gorgeous and special, but it tasted delicious! All the ladies woke up and ate it for breakfast too! Carrot cake and coffee! I highly recommend Raleigh Cakes!

Not only is Aurora is extremely talented, but her cakes are absolutely delicious!! She is the best! Friendly and extremely accommodating and helpful when comes to design and timeline. Would highly recommend!

Ordered a cake for our daughter’s first birthday. Aurora ensured our vision for cake design and composition was included down to every last detail. Fantastic customer service and communication through whole process. The cake was... Read more a hit! And it was delicious! Would definitely order again for the next birthday and beyond. Thank you!

We love Aurora’s cakes! Not only are they gorgeous and delicious, but her customer service is impeccable. Thank you Aurora for celebrating all of life’s sweet moments with us!

There are not enough words to express the extreme talent, creativity, and execution of Aurora! She created the most outstanding college graduation cake for my son, without any ideas from us to shared pictures from... Read more his Instagram and saw a painted guitar that he did. The story of the guitar is quite sweet. It was given to him at 15 from his godmother in Switzerland, then he outgrew it, when he did he painted it and we gifted it to her as a piece of art when he was 18. He is a talented abstract artist, and she saw the guitar and said “this is the cake”. The ironic thing is that his godmother from Switzerland was coming to the graduation so it was a double surprise for both of them. The cake looked so real that my son was so in awe kept saying that he didn’t remember the guitar being so small. He thought the cake was the actual guitar! I had to put my finger in the icing to show him that it wasn’t real! Not only was it spectacular. It was incredibly delicious. Her heart felt love, talent and attention to detail for her art shine through into this masterpiece! I’ve never seen anything so incredible! And delicious :-) first photo is at the actual cake!

In a 12 month period I ordered 4 cakes from Aurora. One for a bridal shower, one for a baby shower, one for a Christening and the most recent for my son’s 30th birthday. Each... Read more one was absolutely gorgeous and insanely delicious. We’ve had carrot, chocolate and vanilla cakes with a variety of scrumptious fillings and I cannot choose a favorite. From a design perspective I love that I can send a bunch of inspo photos, have a short discussion and then let Aurora create her masterpiece. I am so sad that she has left NJ but our loss is Raleigh’s gain. Do yourself a favor and place your next specialty cake order with Raleigh Cakes. I promise you will be thrilled with sweet magic!

Literally the most amazing cakes I have ever tasted and seen. The attention to detail coupled with the unique flavors makes these cakes the best in the business!!!
