    Went to Cake Bake to celebrate daughter’s success. Our food was excellent, service was great, ambience was wonderful. We loved our cake and got a piece to go. Exceeded my expectations for food and service - we assumed the cake would be stellar but was pleasantly surprised by delicious food.

    First time visitor. Stopped in from out of town. Shop was cute. Menus dirty. Host staff rude. All six standing in the lobby staring and waiting for tables to be bussed. Server robotic in greetings and responses. Food was good and served in timely fashion. The room was beyond noisy. Could not hear ourselves speak. Would not return to the Carmel location. Maybe Broad ripple. Manager made obligatory stop at table but when I responded things were “fine” he couldn’t say “great” fast enough and leave. We got dessert to go because I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

    Barbara was SO SWEET and thoughtful. She made my 6 year old’s day with the pixie dusting and candle on her birthday cake. Overall, it was a great experience (as always), but it was my daughter’s first time and it was so special. Thanks so much Cake Bake team!

    I have been to the Cake Bake in Carmel many times. It never disappoints. The broccoli quiche and the truffle fries are the best I have had anywhere.

    The venue at Carmel Clay Center is beautiful! Gorgeous decorations and great location. However, we were very disappointed in the food this visit. The Pommes Frites and bread were delicious, but my chicken was dry and didn’t have the flavor that it normally does. The biggest disappointment was the dessert. The Magic Bar was the worst I have ever had! It was so dry and tasted stale. It was over baked. A total waste of $11.00. I would have asked for a different dessert or a refund but I got the dessert to go. A beautiful place to eat, but extremely over priced.
