I wish there were more gluten-free options. I do not have celiac but a wheat intolerance. The gluten-free bread used for sandwiches is a terrible store bought item. Dry, tasteless and not up to the quality I would expect at a place like this. Especially if items are baked here, surely a sandwich bread could be made.

We only came for a “snack” prior to going out to a late lunch so we got the Truffle Pommes Frites to share. Then I got a Blueberry White Mocha and the Lemon Blueberry cake. Everything was a 10/10! I was tempted to get an extra piece of the cake and another white mocha to go.

I enjoyed a very special lunch with my granddaughter. We enjoyed the pixie story and experience that our waitress shared with us. The exterior of the restaurant was also very lovely and impressive. We really enjoyed the swing that is on the right side of the building. Can’t wait to go back!

The server did not write down our order and got mine wrong. The manager comped my entrée which I thought was appropriate. I also asked for small additions like sweetener for my drink and had to ask several times. They didn't have tarter sauce for my crab cakes so I asked for mayonnaise and was given mayo that was mixed with something that had a bit of a "bite" to it. My daughter in law and granddaughter enjoyed everything. We will go back and I hope next time the service will be better.

This is an “experience” place! The food is average. It is a fairy tale setting and amazing for girls. You’re going to pay for the experience not so much for the food. It also isn’t a place you’d go to on a regular basis, it perhaps a special occasion. Grandma and granddaughter had a wonderful bonding experience. They raved about the waitress. They talk a lot about the experience but not so much about the food.

Cake Bake is fabulous. That is all there is to it. When we had a problem with one item, they took it off the bill and gave the woman who it happened too a delightful little box of multi-flavored Macaroons. This was my first time at this Cake Bake and I will be back. The menu is large and varied, and of course, the desserts are just fantasticly delicious and amazing to see. I highly recommend that you go. Our server was so friendly and very accommodating. We were a Bachelorette party of six and everything came out at the same time and was delicious. I have also done the Cake Bake tea at the other location with just one other person and that experience was also lovely.

What a wonderful experience! I took my best friend as a birthday gift and we loved it! We had the afternoon tea, and it was far superior to the ones we’ve had in London! Lupe was our hostess, and we loved her! Can’t wait to go back!

Probably one of the best decorated, lavish and lovely, restaurants in Indy area. Reminds me of a place that you would see in Vegas. Lovely presentation of dishes. Fresh and flavorful dishes, soups, salads, and sandwiches dominate menu of entrees. Save room for dessert, it is called Cake Bake Shop for a reason
