Retro Bakery

I live out of state, so when it came to choosing a cake I didn't get to do the tastings. I chose them based off of other reviews online... EXCELLENT CHOICE! They were extremely affordable, and even deliver everything to my hotel the day before. We got the 6" round cake for our cake cutting ceremony, and it was actually very big. We also ordered mini cupcakes as favors for all of our guests. With the frosting, they turned out quite big and very, very tasty. I put them in 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 clear boxes and wrapped a ribbon around them and they were so cute.

There are so many awesome flavors, but we couldn't get them all :( We ended up getting the milk & cookies, mint chocolate chip, coffe & donuts, Pucker Up, and Hop Scotch (MY...

I worked with Brian at Retro and let me tell you - he built the cake of my dreams. Exactly as the photo I had sent him and asked for. I asked for different flavors for each of my 3 tiers and they were wonderful. The only concern I had is that the icing seemed extremely sweet but my guests did not complain.

We also ordered a variety of cup cakes and those were MUCH better than the cake itself in flavor. They were extremely delicious! When i go back to Vegas I will visit the bakery just to get some cupcakes!

I would say the pricing for the cake was comparable to other bakeries although I went above my budget for it.

Brian was also helpful with figuring out the size of the cake I need for my 40 guests.

I regret not meeting him personally as he dropped off the cake and cupcakes while I was still getting ready.

I would recommend Retro for your Vegas wedding -...

I found Retro Bakery because they were on my venues preferred vendor list. and I'm so happy I did! We went down to the bakery and bought 8 different kinds of cupcakes to try. We had such a hard time choosing which flavor to use for our wedding cake because they were all so good. They ended up letting us pick a different flavor for each tier. We went with my husbands favorite, chocolate fountain. My favorite, vanilla loves vanilla (boring i know, but sooo good). And one we both really loved, pink lemonade. We were on a really tight budget and I got multiple quotes from various bakeries and only found two that were in our price range (Retro being one of them). We had a tasting at the other one and every flavor was disgusting, and with delivery it would have been more expensive.
Pro's: great tasting, beautiful cakes, lots of different flavors, inexpensive and free delivery.
Con's: FAR away, no tastings, I wanted bright white frosting and it was more of an ivory or off white.
The pro's of this bakery totally outweigh the con's, I would recommend them to...

Retro was great to work with! They delivered our cupcakes and were very easy to get ahold of....

Wonderful! We ordered the mini cupcakes for our weddings, 5 different flavors. They are delicious! Our guests raved about how fun it was to be able to sample a few different flavors--rather than be stuck with one flavor of cake. They are beautiful and made my cake table quite the talk of the reception. They even had vegan cupcakes for me (I am vegan, husband is not--but he loved them) so I could partake in the eating of sweets at my wedding. They were easy to deal with--we had to call a few times and change the numbers on them, but it was never a hassle. Great to work with!

Brian at Retro Bakery was absolutely a pleasure to work with. Being that I was planning from a distance, I'd read reviews that he could be difficult to get ahold of and that made me slightly nervous, but my husband loved their work online. Well, I couldn't disagree more -- I never experienced any responsiveness issues at all. Brian and I communicated both through email and phone to create a custom cupcake tower and 6 inch cutting cake on the top. He provided recommendations as to how many flavors to choose, which ones were popular, and the best looking set-up. I told him I wanted it to be a "Married in Las Vegas" theme, but didn't really have any inspiration pictures to share or anything. When I saw the set-up (which they executed on time and perfectly), it was like Brian had been in my head! Every other cupcake was all individually decorated - and looked to me to be all different -- with poker chips with my new last name initial and dice. Brian also took care of our cake topper, which was my new last initial and it knocked my husband and father-in-law's socks off!!!!
Then we got to eat them :) Everyone raved about the taste. We had ordered about 1.5 mini cupcakes per guest and, even with the additional dessert buffet provided by the venue, had very few left over (we would have liked more left over lol). I would absolutely recommend Retro bakery for any event - and wish I lived closer so I could use them again!

While everyone we spoke to was very nice, we did not enjoy our wedding cake much. It was very pretty, designed just as I asked it to be. However, it did not taste good at all. The chocolate layer was way too dense and had a gritty texture to it. The vanilla layer of cake was good, but the strawberry buttercream filling was entirely too sweet. We had a lot left over and noone would take any.

Amazing to work with!!! I wasnt able to try all the cupcakes but everyone was raving about them!!!

We ordered our cake a few months in advance because we heard such great things about Retro Bakery and were scared that they might book up. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and what we invisioned in our heads. We were very happy with the tier of Hop Scotch (our guests LOVED IT) but everyone said the tier of Cookies and Cream was too dry. I docked on responsiveness because we sent a few emails asking when we could pay and he never responded with payment information, then a week before the wedding he sent us an "urgent" message saying that the cake needed to be paid right away. Other than that, we were very happy with the cake.

So YUMMY!! After price comparing all the major players and less than 3 weeks away from the wedding, we decided on Retro. To cut costs (and to take full advantage) we opted for a cupcake tower w/ a 6in round cake to cut. We couldn't decide on just one flavor, so we got Pucker Up for the cake (my favorite) and for the cupcakes, Red Velvet (tasted more like chocolate, but delicious just the same), Vanilla loves Vanilla (and so do I!!) & my husband's favorite Mint Chocolate Chip. The guests raved about how DE-lish everything was!

Just a note: if you rent the tower, you'll have to return it within 5 days to get your deposit back and they're located about 20 miles off the strip... but the store smells SO GOOD!!

Great cake and Great service! Gave us a couple of cupcakes to try for the flavors for our cake. They delivered right to our venue with no issues. Ended up being amazing! Plus we had plenty of leftover for our anniversary! Very happy with Retro!

tbey adjusted their delivery time due to the time frame we were working with, great cupcakes! my top layer survived the trip from vegas to temecula and is in my freezer for our anniversary

The cupcakes we had for our wedding looked great and apparently were delicious. All I had was a slice of our cake during our cake cutting…but it was good!! The mini cupcakes are the way to go!

LOVE Retro. I tried EVERY cupcake place in town and Retro was my choice for the cupcakes at our wedding. It's obvious I'm excited about cupcakes and now consider myself a cupcake snob because I won't eat cupcakes anywhere but Retro. PS- in case you don't know they make GIANT cookies that are also amazing so make sure to check those out. We bought a bunch of cookies for our prewedding get-together and they were a big hit.

So I ordered over a 100 minis in like 10 flavors so my guests could experience all the awesome Retro flavors. They were amazing and our guests absolutely loved them.

We frequent Retro and are always greeted cheerfully by the girls at the front counter. It's a bit of a drive, but totally worth it. So to sum it up- It's a small business owned by an awesome family that know how to cook up some rad cupcakes. Gotta check it out!

I was iffy about using Retro Bakery from the beginning of our email coorespondence. It took forever to get responses (if I even received a response) and the emails were very short. I heard so many great things about their cupcakes, so when we were in Vegas on vacation we stopped by their shop to try a few flavors. Everything tasted great and the people were so friendly and helpful in person. After all of the great reviews and our own tasting, we decided to go with Retro and ignore my gut instinct on their service.

On the day of the wedding, my now husband was called around 10am saying that they were going to be at the hotel at 10:30am (we had also confirmed 10:30am the day before). My maid of honor went to the lobby and started to wait for them at 10:30. No one showed up with the cake and cupcakes until after 11am. On top of that, Brian handed all of the cupcakes and cake to my maid of honor in the lobby to take up to the room by herself. Through all of our emails, there was never any mention that setup was not included or delivery meant handing it off in the lobby of the hotel - not even bringing it to our room. We would have had no problem paying the extra $30 for the setup to have avoided all of the mess and drama that took place on the morning of our wedding. My husband ended up getting into an argument on our wedding day over this "surprise" fee (at least it was a surprise to us!) My maid of honor ended up pulling the $30 out of her wallet to get Brian to bring the cake and cupcakes up to our room and set it up.

Once we got home from our honeymoon, we looked through all of our emails with Brian just to be sure I had not missed something in our dialogue, and not once any mention about setup. In fact, his exact words were "the total cost of the cake, including tax and delivery is X amount". Nothing ever eluded to the fact that setup was extra. I guess I never imagined that when you're paying for delivery, that meant they were just going to hand a cake and dozens of cupcakes to the maid of honor in the lobby of the hotel - not even bring it up to the room.

With all that said, the cake and cupcakes looked and tasted beautiful. I was extremely pleased with how it all turned out and am very thankful that only the people "behind the scenes" knew what happened the morning of our wedding.

We used Retro bakery for cupcakes at our in-suite meet and greet. I ordered a variety of mini-cupcakes. The delivery girl was running behind but she kept me updated with where she was so I could meet her in the hotel lobby once she got there, instead of waiting around. The cupcakes were beautiful and equally as yummy! Everyone had a great time tasting the different flavors. I'm a simple girl and loved the Vanilla loves Vanilla! :)

WONDERFUL! I ordered two grooms cakes as a surprise for my Hubby. They were delicious and everyone raved about how good they were! We had the Mint Chocolate Chip and Cookies & Milk. They were delivered to Dos Caminos and all set up for us in time for the welcome party. Great prices!

Kari and her team are absolutely amazing! The cupcakes arrived right on time and were everything I thought they would be. The cake topper piece and cupcakes were a huge hit. Everyone loved them, especially the milk and cookies! Thank you again to everyone and we will be seeing you soon ;)

Delicious doesn't even come close to describing Kari and Brian's cake and cupcakes! We had 3 dozen mini's and a 6" cake for our small wedding. As it turns out, we were eating cake and cupcakes for the entire week and I woke up craving a pink lemonade cupcake a few days after getting home. They have perfected their cakes and the buttercream icing is pure heaven. No wonder all the locals we came in contact with were practically drooling when I said Retro was our bakery. We will definitely be visiting them on every trip back to Vegas!

Our cake was awesome!! Everyone loved the cupcake/cake idea. I went back and forth with Brian for a bit before we finally figured out what I wanted and how to make it look great. I did 3 flavors of cupcake and a small cake on top for cutting with butter cream and fondant birds kissing (so cute!!) I bought extra flowers to decorate the cake and everything. but Brian just did it there for me and it looked awesome!!! I have gotten cupcakes from there before and have always had excellent service and an excellent product.... can't wait for another event so I can go back and get more!! Thanks again

Retro bakery is the cutest cupcake shop in the valley. Brian, who did the wedding cake, was very responsive, knew how Paiute worked, ended up working on his day off to make sure he delivered the cake personally to the reception. When we cut the cake, I was so impressed with the taste, I actually made sure I went back to my seat and ate the slice they had left at my place. It was so good. My parents took the rest of the cake home after the ceremony and ate it for the next week. It was very rich, and very yummy.

Delicious mini-cupcakes. We got 10 different flavors and had way too many for our ~35 people, but you can get two flavors per dozen so you could get a smaller number and still have a lot of variety. My favorites were the Pink Lemonade (lemon cake with pink lemonade buttercream) and the Pucker Up (raspberry cake with lemon buttercream); my husband loved the Brownie Sundae (basically a brownie in cupcake form); guests also particularly liked the Blueberry Pancake (blueberry cake with maple buttercream), the Peanut Butter Cup (chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream), and the Vanilla Loves Chocolate (vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream). Don't worry--it was pretty much all delicious.
They delivered to our hotel before the wedding, a couple of hours before we had to head out to Valley of Fire, well-wrapped so the cake would stay fresh for our 9pm reception; the delivery fee anywhere on the Strip is $20, which is not bad at all.
Also, they include sales tax in their prices! This is a big deal; the sales tax in Clark County is 8.1%, but it's folded into their prices, which at $12/dozen mini-cupcakes are already very good.
Basically, if I had to do it again, I would just get 2/person, even with a large variety--we thought so many choices would encourage people to pig out, but we had a TON of leftovers with about 4/person. My husband and I were eating them for a couple of days after. The ones that kept the best were probably the Pucker Up and Blueberry Pancake ones, I think because they actually had some fruit in the batter to moisten them a little more. The Brownie Sundae ones probably went stale the fastest, but they make no pretense about these having a long shelf life. As they point out on their website, who would let them sit around in anything but extraordinary wedding leftover circumstances? I've heard freezing cake doesn't yield very good results, but I'm already hoping we can make a 1-year anniversary trip to Vegas next year and stop by the Retro Bakery for celebratory cupcakes!
One other thing: They rent/sell cupcake towers, and will also do 6" cakes to top them if you want more of a traditional cake for cutting--we just didn't really want to bother with that. We brought in our own cardboard cupcake towers from Target, but it turned out we could have bought styrofoam ones for about the same price ($15 apiece) from Retro Bakery directly.

Fantastic service we did our order all on the internet as we are based in the UK. The cake was delicious our guests can still not stop talking about it

Best. Cake. Ever. Period. Their service is amazing, their cakes are amazing. We had a chocolate chip cake with vanilla butter cream, cinnamon swirl with almond butter cream and a maple bacon cake! The maple bacon was the hit of our reception. It is seriously a slice of heaven! The service is great, too. Brian put up with all of my changes, even the last minutes ones. They delivered on time and were so friendly. I highly recommend not only their cakes but their cupcakes, as well.

We were THRILLED with the service provided by Retro Bakery. Retro Bakery provided our red velvet cupcake tower for our wedding celebration dinner. The cupcakes were a huge hit! Everything was perfect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I ordered a cake from Retro Bakery for my husband's 30th b-day. They delivered it to our hotel and it was beautiful and so delicious. I wanted to order another cake for my friend's birthday the following month but had to wait until my friend returned from her European vacation to find out what flavor she wanted. I called 4 days before the date I needed the cake and was told that wouldn't be enough time. I thought it might not be enough time and thanked the nice girl that I spoke with. Before I hung up she told me that I could still order cupcakes and that I had up until the day prior to the day I needed them to order. So I called back the next day with my cupcake order and was told they couldn't accept my order because they were about to go on vacation. I told the girl I spoke with that I had been told the day before that I could still order cupcakes (I was understanding about it being too late for an actual cake) and she wouldn't budge. I was very disappointed because my friend was already expecting a cake from this bakery in a flavor she was really excited to try. I'm not familiar with the Vegas area so I guess I'll blindly try another bakery. I was so disappointed in my second experience with Retro Bakery. I was surprised at the level of unprofessionalism. :(

Wonderful cupcakes (we tried a number of cupcake bakeries in LV and Retro was definitely the best-tasting) that were also a great value. In addition, the service was superb and easy.

FANTASTIC! We wanted something different than the usual cake, so we selected a 3 tier cupcake tower. We were able to choose the flavor, topping, decor, etc. Kari the owner was amazing and very accomodating. They delivered to our location on the strip so we had nothing to worry about. Everyone raved about the cupcakes!
