    I have had reservations every June to celebrate my granddaughters birthdays with their mothers for the last 4 years. I have never been disappointed until yesterday’s lunch date. On a very hot day they put us out on the open porch area. There were fans blowing so that was loud, but it was just too hot to enjoy my meal. Inside was nice and cool, and that is where we should have been on such a hot day. I didn’t ask because the others were ok with sitting there. I wish I had spoken up and requested another location! Just too hot, we were soaked with sweat when we left!!!

    Experience was overall nice. The seating on the enclosed patio lacked adequate air movement. On an Indiana summer day, the patio seating made for an unpleasant experience.

    Noise level was extremely loud/I would give a 10 out of 10. Sometimes it was hard to hear what the person I was with was saying. Otherwise, food, service and ambiance were wonderful.

    We've been coming here for a few years. The quality of the cakes seems to have gone down. They seem more dense/heavy. The ambiance is pretty nice if you are not seated in the back room. The entrees are fine, but you're not coming here for food quality. Overall the place has lost its magic.

    Our party of eight was seated out in the front sunroom where there was no air conditioning. It was a warm and muggy evening, so not the most comfortable spot. I was surprised, as we had made the reservation 3 weeks in advance and we were celebrating a milestone birthday. I didn't even know this would be a possibility when I made the reservation, that we could be seated somewhere without a/c. There was a fan, and the service was excellent (nice touches with the personalized note and the birthday glitter), but the lack of air conditioning and the lack of warning was a little disappointing, especially since I had heard so many great things about the Cake Bake shop and this was my first time going there. The cake was delicious, but so expensive too. I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it out, but I don't think I will be a frequent visitor.
