    Beautiful restaurant! Our table was ready when we arrived (even a bit early), our server was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Our food was served quickly and was delicious (highly recommend the chicken velvet soup and chicken salad croissant). For dessert, we enjoyed the mint chocolate chip cake, pixie fettu cake and a gluten free brownie. The cakes were very good and beautiful! The brownie flavor wqs fine, not anything special and was served hot (as requested). However, it was so hot I couldn’t eat it at the restraint as it was still hot when others had finished their cake. When I tried to enjoy it at home, it was rock hard (heated much too long). This was my only complaint and everything else’s was great. We will return: hopefully in Disney in a couple of weeks!

    This place is an experience. There's no other restaurant like it in the area. It's magical. The decor is gorgeous. The food is fantastic. It is expensive but the ingredients are all top notch and make the price worth it. This is not just a bakery. The lunch and dinner menu items are delicious. I loved everything about this special place. You should get reservations particularly if you want to go on the weekend. We had the Kir Royal champagne cocktail, truffle pomme frites, lemon piccata, chicken velvet soupe and blackberry avocado salade. Hot chocolate. Earl and millionaire cake. Raspberry champagne macaron. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend.

    If you are in Indianapolis and don’t go the Cake Bake you are missing out on a fun and delicious restaurant. I took my grand children visiting from California and they were so impressed they didn’t want to leave. It’s expensive but worth every dollar. What a treat!

    My partner and I dined at The Cake Bake Shop, and it was fantastic! The holiday decorations were adorable and set a festive mood. Dinner was delicious, and our server was amazing—so attentive and friendly. The dessert was absolutely to die for. Highly recommend for a charming and tasty experience! 10/10🩷🤍🩷🤍

    Our meals we ordered were less than desirable and not worth the wait. We were all quite disappointed in our portion sizes for the price. The best part of the meal was the appetizer. We will not return for the food. We will however rerunt for desserts. The cake was AMAZING!!! No disappointments and we went home with extra pieces, cookies, and a lemon bar.
