Cake Affairs & Culinary Creations

This company produces good cakes. If there had been a rating category for the quality of the end product (i.e. the cake), we would have given them a 3 in that category.However, while their cake is good, their customer service is absolutely terrible. They repeatedly failed to follow through with what they said they would do. And two days before the wedding they called to confirm the cake details and they had the order wrong! To make things worse, they did not return calls to make sure the order was corrected. We were left to wait and see what would showed up at the reception. Not the kind of extra stress a bride needs.And during a call with Justin (the owner) we were told that because he had spent half an hour on the phone with us (trying to correct their error), he was not going to make a profit on our cake for 145 people. I don't know whether or not he was able to make a profit on our cake but I do know that based upon our expecience with Justin he neither understands nor believes in good customer service.If you want a cake and don't mind very poor service this might be the place for you. But there are too many other vendors that understand how much good service means to customers.

Cake Affairs created our wedding cake and groom's cake. Both cakes were decorated fabulously, especially the Playstation groom's cake. The cakes were delivered on time and just as requested.

The cake was beautiful and delicious.

I loved my cake! It was beautiful and delicious! I wish I could post a picture for you! Their icing is yummy! Everyone complimented me on the cake. I would recommend them to anyone! They are very professional and remind me of one of those cake shows on TV. They can make just about anything AND it will taste good!!

From what I hear, our cake was very good! I did not get to taste it since I was so busy the entire night, but people are still asking who made our wedding cake.

They were on time, the cake was exactly as i'd envisioned it and the flavors were mouth watering and delicious!!! Absolutely fabulous. They even found a way to make our complicated topper work!

Yummy! The cake was beautiful and delicious. Amber was so easy to work with. She was very knowledgeable and helpful as we designed our cake. She was also very accommodating! We loved it and would recommend it to anyone! Bon Appetit!

Our wedding cake was included as part of the package with our reception vendor - so they were the ones who sent us to Cake Affairs & Culinary Creations. We couldn't have been happier! We met with them for a tasting and design consultation - all the flavors were so delicious, but we decided on the almond cake with caramel flavored filling for the wedding cake covered in buttercream. I had found photos of some cakes posted online that I liked and took them to the appointment. With their help, we were able to piece together different elements from different photos to create our cake design. My husband isn't so much into cake, but mentioned that he absolutely loves cheesecake. The baker was present (a husband & wife team) and told us he makes a great cheesecake, so for the groom's cake we had a 2-tiered cheesecake covered in chocolate ganache and chocolate covered strawberries (dressed as tuxedos). When we saw the cakes at the reception, we were amazed! They were both so perfect! And once we cut into them, maaaaaan were they delicious. These guys definitely hit the nail on the head!

Best wedding cake ever! We received so many comments on how great the cake was- guests were searching for more cake all night! Highly recommend!!

Love them! Did an awesome job and everyone loved the cakes. I loved the way Amber drew out my cake in front of me. Thanks!

Lovely cake and very tasty! Called with follow ups to make sure everything was still on track and to see if any changes needed to be made. Very reliable and friendly:) We would definitely recommend them and use them again!

When we went for the tasting my fiance wasn't as impressed, because of that we didn't get the grooms cake; but the day of the wedding it was fabulous! We didn't even get to try an entire piece. The guests loved it!

Amber and her team did an amazing job on our wedding and groom's cake. Both of our cakes were absolutely beautiful and delicious! They went above and beyond to create a unique groom's cake shaped like my husbands old 1972 buick skylark. It looks incredible and he was very pleased with it! Such a wonderful team of people to work with and would highly recommend to anyone in the future for any type of cake!

Cake Affairs & Culinary Creations performed amazing artwork for our chess board groom cake, and beautiful elegance for our oval shaped wedding cake. The cakes tasted just as delicious as they were beautiful. We paired with gelato - all I can say "heavenly"! Excellent service - only one appt. and will got all of the details down and squared away for the wedding. In deciding/building our cakes at the appt., Amber and Justin's creative minds went to work and made artful suggestions that produced our amazing cakes. We brought images of Cake affairs's work, and that was very helpful - even let us know when we were proposing cakes out of our original pricing. Amber was consistently responsive to my emails and easy to schedule appts. I did not witness the delivery- but obviously no issues as the cakes were flawless, beautiful, and delicious! Thanks again.

They were not friendly to work with. They never answered their phones. My cake was part of a package with my reception and i have zero options. Everything is an extra fee of $50 or $100. Their book does not give you many ideas and their cake tasted like it came out of a box - i was so disappointmented in the options I had. The cake did come on time and it looked nice but I would use a different vendor

Cake affair did a wonderful job on both our wedding cake and the groom’s cake. The caking tasted amazing and was so moist. We received so many compliments on the cake from many of our guest and have even had people ask for their contact info. The groom’s cake looked so real that people didn't realize it was a cake. Our friends and family still talk about it. The process of choosing what we wanted was so easy. The cake testing cake was dry and very cold so we were worried but was so impressed with the end result. You wouldn't be disappointed choosing them! Thanks Cake Creations!!!!

Cake Affairs was the cake vendor that was part of the Hotel Derek package. If you got a cake from Cake Affairs that was simple then you didn't really have to pay an additional fee since it was all part of the package. Now, the cake they turned out for us was delicious! It was really moist and I know several of my guests had a few slices! However, I was not as satisfied as I could have been with how the cake was decorated. I had shown them a cake with branches that were made in fondant so that it stood up on its own on the cake. It also had little pink flowers made of fondant. They promised me they could replicate something like that and was charging me $176 to do so. (That's why I'm giving 3 stars for value). However...when I saw the cake...they did use fondant cherry blossoms but they had just piped an ugly branch with brown icing which was not how I wanted it at all. O well... Another thing is they're very slow to respond. I wouldn't hear from them for a week or two weeks at a time. And whenever you call, you get an answering machine so you have to leave a message and wait for them to call you back. It was pretty frustrating when it was getting down to the wire. So you might want to reconsider using Cake Affairs if you're getting the Hotel Derek package. The cake is definitely delicious...but you might not want to deal with the headache of trying to get in touch with someone.

I only have one complaint about this company, aside from a beautiful, delicious, well-decorated wedding cake. Upon consultation, we wanted red velvet as our bottom layer of our cake, which would cost us $75 out of pocket. They asked if my fiance and I wanted to pay then, or later. Since my mother was due to cover the cost, we asked to pay later. We knew that there was payment due at that time, but never received a bill or reminder call. We were unaware that the invoice hadn't been paid until we cut our cake and saw a chocolate bottom layer!That being said, we would have appreciated a phone call reminding us to pay the invoice. Aside from that, everyone loved the cake, and it was decorated beautifully, and they were easy to work with, especially as we had a florist bringing in flowers to use in the cake. It was beautiful and the icing and cake were delicious, with the inside being very moist. My mom even raved about the chocolate!

Cake affair really made us a special cake. The caking tasted amazing and not only that it tasted good it also looked good as well. We received many compliments on the cake from many of our guest. You wouldn't be disappointed with them I promise!

Our cake was apart of the Downtown Doubletree package. I must say that they were so patient with us and our process. The selection process was seamless and the final product was absolutely amazing. The cake was so good!! We still are still getting compliments!!

The cake was delicious and beautiful!

They did an awesome Job with our wedding & groom cakes. All of our guest loved the cake it was delicious. Amber was so nice and very easy to deal with, she understood what I wanted on my cake and did just what we had in mind! Thanks cake affairs!!!I will refer you to any new bride to be or just to anybody who wants to have a nice delicious cake!!!

Amber did a great job with the cake they provide me. I loved it, and I still have my top cake, I am saving it for our 1 year anniversary, its in the freezer. It was so easy to choose one, and tell her the changes that I wanted to be made. The cake tasting was the fun part, I didnt know what to choose, they were all so good. I strongly recommend Cake Affairs...

They are the preferred vendor of our reception site and we are glad that we chose them as our cake vendor. Our cake was beautiful, tasty and fresh. We are Asian and most of the cakes we tasted from other vendors are either too sweet or too dry for our taste. Their cake is the only one that works for us and our families. However, they are kind of slow in returning phone calls and emails.

Our wedding cake was through Cake Affairs. It looked and tasted AMAZING! I would highly recommend. I have a very sweet tooth, and at most weddings I have been to, I have been disappointed by a beautiful looking, but dry tasting cake.Cake Affairs definitely matches the beauty with the taste! It was GREAT!

We ordered both the bride's cake and groom's cake. They tasted great and were what we ordered. The only disappointment was with the topper. We had an acrylic heart which I brought to the shop and showed them. They said to leave it on the table where the cake would be and they would place it at delivery. By the time we got to the reception, the heart had fallen over and had buttercream icing smeared all over it. They had not provided any icing to support it. We took it off and washed it, respread the icing on the top and had to prop it up with fruit off the fruit tray so we could take photos.

Everyone loved the cake! I highly recommend Cake Affairs - they are AMAZING!!

The cake was gorgeous and it taste wonderful, both of them. Everone is still raving about the cake that they want more of!

Very beautiful cakes!

I really really loved our wedding cakes. I only got to taste a little at the wedding since we were so busy but I ate a ton after we got home that night. We chose the strawberry filling for my (the bride's cake) and chocolate ganache for the grooms. Both were delicious. My husband wanted an exact replica of Eddie Van halen's guitar and he got it. They did such a great job. My cake was exactly what I wanted(well then the coordinator ruined it, but not culinary creations fault)!! I would fully recommend them, they and Jessica did a great job. Thanks!

Very pleased with the wedding cake and grooms cake. They designed it just how we planned and had it delivered on time at the venue. Very professional and great service.

Although the cakes were delicious and spectacular, the service was so poor that I would not recommend using this cake vendor! The woman taking our order seemed stressed and rude. The ordering experience was so terrible that I was considering not using this vendor even though my reception package included the cost of the cake.

Our wedding cake and the grooms cake tasted GREAT! My husband's grooms cake was a replica of his firefighting helmet and it was absolutely AMAZING - it looked exactly like it! Everyone at the wedding was amazed. My cake on the other hand was gorgeous, but not exactly what I had in mind. The picture I gave the consultant was not what I got...but it was a beautiful cake similar to what I had in mind and everyone really seemed to enjoy it.

Our cakes were beautiful and tasted great. We ran out of both of them at the reception. We didn't get to taste all of the flavors that we wanted at our tasting, and that was disappointing, but other than that things were great and I would recommend them.

My Cake was AMAZING! We all finished the entire cake it was sooo yummy! And looked beautiful! Four tiers, enough to feed all 150 guests!

Choosing our cake was a blast...of course trying all the flavors was awesome, but working with Jessika was a lot of fun too! She was very relatable and gave great advice. They will tell you the truth about what you are wanting and have you think about every scenario. Our cake came out beautifully. It was exactly what I imagined. My husband and I only had a teaser, but the entire thing was eaten...because quite a few of our guests went back for seconds! We received more compliments on the cake than anything else. It was delish!

My cake turned out beautifully, and from what I remember, it tasted good. It was included in the reception hall package that we had chosen. It turned out looking identical to the magazine cut-out that I handed them. I dealt with Jessica. She was knowledgeable about the cakes, and I appreciated her advice, but the owner seemed a little more laid back and not so in-your-face. They changed locations right before I got married, and their bakery was very hard to find, but I assume that they should have a sign up in front by now. In conclusion, I was happy with the way my cake turned out! I went else where to find the grooms cake because they were a bit pricey.

I ordered my wedding cake and grooms cake from Cake Affairs. Both were exceptional in the looks and TASTE! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

We were very happy with our cake and the service was great. I would definately recommend Cake Affairs.

Cake Affairs did a wonderful job with our wedding and groom's cakes. Even though they were included our wedding package at the Hotel Derek, I would have used them regardless. The cakes were delicious and beautiful. They did EXACTLY what we had all agreed on and the result was magnificent! I am very pleased with them and will use them again for any other special occasion.

Our cakes were gorgeous, delivered on time, and delicious! Couldn't be happier with their service!

Out of all our vendors, this was the most disappointing. I have used them in the past and remembered the cake being good and reasonable which is why we used them again. From what I could tell, they weren't the best in terms of intricate details, but ours didn't have sugar flowers or things like that- in fact, we supplied all the decorations: 2 diff. colors of double faced satin ribbon, swarovski rhinestone chain, flowers and pheasant feathers for the top. What could have been a gorgeous cake turned out to be a mess, not to mention the cake itself. The assembly of the cake decoration was careless. We were supposed to have a "shimmer" airbrushed on the entire thing and then 2 bands of ribbon and a rhinestone border on each layer. Turns out they sprayed the shimmer on AFTER the other was put on, which explains why the $100+ rhinestones didn't sparkle. They were coated!Even more disturbing was our cake. We intentionally bought a bigger cake than needed knowing we would be able to save the top and have left overs for the weekend guests. We only had a brief bite during the cake cutting, but later had some w/ dinner the caterer packed only to find it was the worst cake I've ever tasted. My fiance agreed! I'm not sure what happened, but it seems they pieced the bottom layer together w/ old, stale cake b/c the catered packed the 2nd layer as well, and it was totally different; it was good and what we paid for. The problem is that we learned that at least 1/2 our guests got the bad stuff and didn't eat more than a taste. I took both cakes to them when I returned the rented cake stands and left samples w/ the girl and was promised the chef would get back to me. Yeah, that was almost a month ago. I've since had to send another letter via certified mail and have no problem going to the BBB for a resolution. I'm not asking for a free cake, but certainly don't believe it was fair to charge $4.50/slice for frankly, a poor substitute cake that I could have made better myself. My advice, SHOP AROUND! They're all very competitive and depend on their reputation and word of mouth for business. Cake Affairs has merged w/ another company recently and become much bigger. It seems the cakes have turned into nothing more than assembly line products w/ zero quality control and even less customer service after they have your money.

We were supposed to get married on Sept 13 in Houston, and had ordered a cake through Cake Affairs. We were happy with the service we'd received during our discussions with them -- they were easy to work with and we found the prices reasonable. We had to reschedule when Hurricane Ike came through Houston. I called to postpone before the event weekend, and then called them back the next week when we had our rescheduled date chosen. I gave someone there all the details for the new date, and was under the impression that they'd been documented in our file and that we were all set.About a week and a half before the wedding, I got a phone call from the owner, asking if we'd set a new date yet. I have no idea what happened, but apparently the info I'd given them didn't get to the right person / place! There was a good chance that if not for some luck, I wouldn't have had a wedding cake, and wouldn't have known about it until it was too late. So I gave them the info for the new date again, and the cake was delivered on schedule. It was a very simple design and looked great, exactly as expected. The cake itself was great and all of our guests really enjoyed it. However, from talking to several of them (and what we tasted ourselves, and tasting the 'leftovers' from the bottom layer), it was not what we'd ordered. We had ordered a chocolate cake with an orange mousse / filling; there was no orange mousse in the cake, only buttercream. I called when we returned from our honeymoon to ask what happened, but haven't gotten a response or a suggested resolution from them yet.

My wedding cake and grooms cake was amazing!!! There prices are a little high but well worth it!!!

Excellent and delicious. she worked every detail with us to help me get exactly what me and my hubby wanted for our cakes. So many people complimented the cake!

The cake was beautiful and tasted great.

We ordered both our wedding and grooms cake through Cake Affairs. Overall the cakes were very good, but there were a few things we weren't 100% satisfied with. Our buttercream wedding cake had a lot of icing. The icing on the cake was practically an inch thick. Although it was absolutely beautiful, it was a bit too sweet.Our grooms cake was the best tasting cake I have ever had. It was a delicious chocolate ganache cake. We were a little disappointed with the appearance though. The logo we had chosen didn't look as we had discussed. We were told that it would be an exact print, almost like a carbon copy that would be smooth and what we thought would be more professional. When we arrived at the site we found that it was just drawn on with different colors of icing, not what we had asked for. Overall our cakes were very delicious, but a few details were overlooked.

I use Cake Affairs & Culinary Creations exclusively as my cake vendor. They have the best product in town, are extremely flexible, reliable, curteous, and responsible. The owner, Amber is very involved in the business and truly cares about her clients and partner vendors. I would reccomend this company anybody and everybody that I can. Anybody who has the pleasure of working with Cake Affairs & Culinary Creations will have one less worry on their plate for their wedding or any other special event. Tell them what you want and let Amber and her crew worry about the details of it.

Delicious and so well made.

Cake was beautiful, delicious, delivered at agreed-on time, and order matched our request exactly. Company also gave me a courtesy phone call to let us know they had consolidated offices, and were patient and helpful when I called to confirm our order was still on file.

We ordered our wedding cake and groom's cake through Cake Affairs. I had an idea when we went to do our cake tasting of the design I liked for our wedding cake, but their consultants are great at taking your ideas to the next level. Amanda, our consultant, gave me binders (and more binders) of cakes they had made in the past and told me to place a sticky note on as many pages as I liked. We combined aspects of different cakes to create our dream wedding cake. It was beautiful! It was a 3-tier almond buttercream cake with varying shaped layers. The bottom layer was hexagonal with diamond shapes, the middle layer round with scrolls and fleur de lis (my favorite shape) and the top layer was square with a bow (like a present). There were edible gold beads throughout to tie in our colors and black ribbon around the bottom of each layer (that we provided) to again, tie in our colors. When I saw the cake at our reception, it looked better than I had ever imagined! And it was SO delicious! Our groom's cake was very cute! It was a chocolate 2-tier cake shaped like a cooler with my husband's favorite beer, Shiner Bock, inside. It had ice cubes made out of gelatin and the 6 empty Shiner bottles sticking out...too cute! Everyone loved the cake and we kept the top for our 1-year anniversary!

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! Cake affairs did a superb job on both our 4-tiered wedding cake and groom's cake. For the wedding cake we chose a wedding white cake with a Crème Brule filling. YUM! The groom's cake also was a white wedding cake with a strawberry filling. It was magnificent as well! Our guests enjoyed the cake so much we almost lost the top layer of our wedding cake that we wanted to be sure to have for our one year anniversary. We can't wait to sink our mouths into it again soon!

They are awesome! Not only were the cakes absolutely perfect and were delicious! My wedding reception venue all centered on if they (the venue) used Cake affairs for the wedding package. I gave them a picture of what I wanted my wedding cake and grooms cake to look like, they added additional unique touches to make my wedding cakes extra special and beautiful. I highly recommend.

our venue for the reception offered a free wedding cake through Cake affairs as part of their package, which we thought would be great. How wrong we were! We paid EXTRA to get what we wanted and on top of that had to purchase our own rhinestone border. The rhinestones were $10/yd. We shipped 10 yards to Cake Affairs which they claim they never received. We then bought another 10 yards. $200 on rhinestones - but hey that's what we wanted. We walked up to cut our cake and lo and behold - NO RHINESTONES!!! We were disappointed because our cake looked nothing like we were promised. On top of that - our wedding planner had to add a topper because the cake was sooo plain looking. We're still waiting for a refund.

Cake Affairs was able to design my cake exactly how I imagined it! The taste was fresh and fantastic. They had a wide arrary of flavors available, and our tasting session went very well. The cake was a gorgeous (and tasty) "centerpiece" at our reception.

Our cake looked and tasted great. You can sample the cakes available, and the staff is quite helpful with choosing the colors and decorations that will coordinate with your wedding.

The cake was nice, but sort of pricey. I really don't remember what it tasted like, but I wouldnt blame that on the vendor! The only problem that I had is that the cake came with a bow on top mad eof icing that we requsted not be included...because we had bought a cake topper!! So we had to take the bow off ourselves and put the topper on. It worked out fine though. Kind of pricey too. Overall, it was okay and they were very nice.

my cake was wonderful! albeit totally left over bc desi's eat the mithai and waste the cake... it was great! amber was totally helpful! my hubby loved the cake! we even left the top for our first anniversary... and it tasted YUMMMMM!!! VERY HAPPY :)

Overall, it was a good cake and decent service. Sometimes the company was unresponsive in stressful times, though.

Yummmmm.....cakes! Yummmmm...design! Not much more to say but amazing!
