Cakes For Occasions

I had my 4 year old birthday party two weeks ago, we had about 15 kids over and they all loved the cupcakes we ordered from Cakes-4-Occasions. What made their cakes even more incredible is they don't use nuts in their cooking, so I didn't have to worry about all the kids allergies. The cupcakes were delicious, beautiful and far exceeded our expectations. My 4 year old loves cakes-4-occasions and now we stop by regularly.

I have never had cake so good! I am now telling all my friends to call Cakes for Occasions when planning their wedding, NOTHING tastes better, it is the kind of cake you usually don't find at a bakery or institutional supplier. The buttery rich taste usually is lost when a cake comes from a bakery, but at Cakes for Occasion, all the flavor is there WITH the beautiful decorations. Great job from a real sweet tooth expert!

I've bought so many cakes and pastries from this gourmet shop and have never been disappointed. Their artwork is magnificent, the cakes are delicious and the customer service is great. All around they are top notch. I also respect that they give so much to charity. I would highly recommend this bakery.

I picked-up some desserts to bring to the office and they were gone in minutes! I have never seen people eat cupcakes so fast! The butter cream tasted amazing. Great customer service and a ton of desserts to select from. I'll be back!

We have been ordering cakes for several years from Cakes For Occasions. The cakes are delicious and although you need to order them a week in advance, if you need something right away they stock many items right in their case fresh daily. If you visit you will feel the "buzz of energy" as the people there really seem to be having fun decorating the cakes. The artwork and creativity is what really makes them stand out from "your average bakery". This bakery is a hidden gem tucked in downtown Danvers MA. If you are looking for cake that you and your guests will love, I would suggest visiting this bakery.

I manage a business in the area. We used Cakes for Occasions for an event that we hosted in the store. They created the most beautiful pastries I have ever seen and they were delicious. Our customers could not stop raving and asking where we got our dessert. I would call them again and again.

i have ordered many cakes from them, but I am sorry, no more.
They require a huge amount of time for the order (10 days for a 7 inch cake?!).
One cake, after a seven day lead time, had warm drooping frosting.
Another cake I ordered 7 or 10 days ahead, was not ready at 1:45 when the
pick-up time was 2:00pm. Please, I was rudely told I was too early and the cake wasn't ready.
They are extremely expensive, and very rude. The cakes look amazing on-line,
but you have to humbly beg for them.

I am wondering how ANYONE could say that this place makes good cakes. They are extremely expensive (they "say" because they use only the best ingredients). Their cakes aren't worth a dime to all the hype. We ordered my sisters wedding cake with them - put our trust in them that we would receive exactly what we asked for and paid for - boy were we wrong! We ended up with the ugliest cake I ever saw - the frosting was so thick when the cake was cut at the wedding, that we were embarrassed to serve it! The frosting was obviously covering up the mess up of the actual cake. The taste of what little cake was there, was horrible! When we called to tell them how disappointed we were, they said that we were sadly mistaken, because they are "the best". What? They NEVER apologized for ruining my sisters moment. They are not only horrible bakers, but horrible business people. DON'T BUY YOUR CAKE HERE! TRUST ME! the totally disregard what you ask for and throw cakes together. They're horrible!

I came to Cakes of occasions for my wedding cake based on their wonderful reviews and recommendations. The cake tasting were delicious but the women in charge were short and not welcoming. We decided to go with them for our wedding because the cake was so good.

Three months after booking our cake order we were informed that the prices unexpectedly went up by a lot! and we were told that there was nothing we could do about it.

Upon receiving the cake at our wedding the decorations were extremely amateur, messy and dissatisfying. We paid so much for our cake and we ended up having to cover up their awful decorations with flowers in order to make the cake more pleasing to the eye. The cake was delicious but did not look very appetizing.

I would recommend going somewhere else.

They have great birthday cakes and pretty much anything else you can think of. They will custom make almost anything and they use only the finest ingredients.

Voted for Today's show wedding cake.
The cakes are to die for. They have the best white chocolate mousse cake and all the other cakes are just as good.
They do have other desert cakes available and are worth it for those special occasions or when you really want a really awesome treat.

Great service for wedding cakes and they will take the extra time with you and make sure you sample! You can't go wrong with choosing them for any special occasion.
