Absolutely Edible Cakes & Catering

I dont think its possible to pick a bad dessert from here, and I tried the wings and oxtail for the first time. It was SO DANG GOOD i couldnt even get pics of the full plates before my huband and I ate! I haven't had better garlic mashed potatoes anywhere. They are seriously addictive. The sweet potato thang is so delicious. The watermelon pickles were an impulse purchase because it was the first time I had seen them in the display case and it was great. Sour, sweet, tangy.

Today I celebrated my 43rd birthday with a very unexpected surprise visit to Absolutely Edible Cakes & Catering. My husband knew that I have been wanting to go for a couple of years now. All I have to say is, THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I had the fried chickens, greens, and cabbage. My husband had the fried wings, Mac and cheese, and fries. Aunt Nikki, you ABSOLUTELY know you do your THANG with this soul food!!! We'll definitely be coming back AT LEAST once a month 💜

I know owners hate a bad review and they will say it’s fake or lies when they should really utilize the opportunity to level up their customer service. We ordered a cake a couple of months before our wedding. What we wanted was a peacock cake with 3 tiers and we provided Pinterest photos to demonstrate. Fondant on top and feathers coming down the back. After being told by two bakeries that they couldn’t do it, we were referred to Absolutely Edible and she said from the beginning that she could do it, no problem. After Nikki told us she could do it no problem; we immediately paid the $1000 deposit for an almost $2000 wedding cake. Then, just WEEKS before our wedding she calls and says the cake is a bad idea and will “cave in on itself” She’s also difficult to get on the phone. Every time I called, she was “busy with a customer” and needed to call me back but didn’t. Finally, she sent a re-quote after she suggested we should have her make a painted styrofoam cake and bake sheet cakes for our guests. That was over $1600. For sheet cakes and styrofoam!!!! As a result; we found an actual reputable baker who made the cake with no issue at all. Flavorful and absolutely stunning and no issues whatsoever. Sadly, we lost our $1000 deposit to this charlatan who promised delivery and then recanted with a dirt cheap Costco option for almost 2 grand. Realistically, if she couldn’t do what we asked for; she should have just said so from the beginning rather than being in breach of contract by changing the parameters AFTER the deposit was already paid. Despite the fact that the contract had no clauses for changes. We expected what we contracted for and AFTER the deposit was paid, we were told that would be too difficult if not impossible. I’ll add this. The REAL cake we got with no problems from a baker in Lewisville was only $1300 and came with zero problems! You’ve been warned. Unless you literally have money to BURN; Enter this place at your own peril. Who wants to cut a sheet cake for their wedding?! Wedding couples don’t need problems like this. Photos of the invoice and Pinterest photos of the cake wanted included for context.

The food and desserts are absolutely delicious! Today was soul food Sunday where you have to be a regular to know when it’s going to be. They don’t serve food every Sunday. I got an oxtail plate it comes with 3 sides! I got candied yams, mac & cheese, and Black Eyed Peas. The sides in rate it 8.0 the oxtails I rate a 8.5 everything was seasoned well. “The sweet potato thang” I give a 9.0 the pecan pie 8.5. If you in the Roweltt area or visiting the DFW try this place out now!

First off I don’t want to bash this business they have great customer service and wonderful desserts. This was my second visit. First time I got the fried chicken dinner with a spaghetti and greens. Everything was fresh and seasoned well. The pie is amazing. This go I wanted to try the soul food Saturday. As advertised from there Facebook page. I ordered smothered pork chop, cabbage, Mac & cheese,and mash potatoes. Per picture. This was not very good. The cabbage seemed overcooked not very flavorful, nor the mac&cheese the Garlic mash potatoes were fine. Pork chops were tender but the gravy was not that great seemed powdered or from a jar. Will I go back yeah they have some things I love but not a fan of this meal. Also they miss advertise on there page the post stated it comes with a drink and desert but it doesn’t.

I absolutely love the food and the customer service. I eat here at least twice a week and the food is Always delicious, I have had the Oxtails, Greens, Chicken, Spaghetti, Mac and cheese, and The Sweet Potato Thang. Everything is Always Top Tier. I also ordered a Custom Birthday Cake and it was Delicious and it was Prettier than the picture that I provided with the design that I wanted. It was delicious and beautiful! I highly recommend the food and cake, etc. The owner and staff is Always nice and friendly. 5 Star Service!

Customer Service: Although there are a few that are not as pleasant as Nikki J, I won't allow those few to tarnish the customer service experience here. For the most part, everyone is treated with love & respect! I've known about Absolutely Edible Cakes & the Sweet Potato Thang way before the Keith Lee Effect. I don't recall her ever offering food outside of catering until now, so it's been cool getting to try more options on her menu. Desserts: My favorite desserts are The Hummingbird Cake & the VEGAN Sweet Potato Thang!!! That VSPT has such a richness in flavor, and the crust is more solid than the non-vegan. I get it anytime it's available. Can't wait to try her Pecan Pie Cobbler & Bread Pudding. Drinks: The red drink is simply red kool-aid, but the Magic Orange Tea is so good!!! She has a new Tropical flavor (lighter orange drink), and although it's good, it is super sweet. I had to dilute it with water. I'm a Sweetsaholic, so not often do I say something is too sweet. LOL! Now to the food items... Dirty Rice: 2 out of 5 Cooked perfectly but was pretty bland. I had to add a little salt to bring out the flavors. MAC: 1 out of 5 The flavor was there, but it was super runny. Even the next day, it had not solidified. Fish + Spaghetti: 5 out of 5 Fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Greens: 1 out of 5 Cooked well, but were bitter. Fried Chicken Wing: 4 out of 5 My only issue is the size! I prefer regular sized wings. I'm a texture person, so this is a preference. That Magic Dust is fire!!! Oxtails: 3 out of 5 Seasoned well and very meaty, but weren't completely tender. 😕 Cornbread Dressing: 5 out of 5 Fire!!!!! 🔥🔥 Loved the texture. Loved the taste. Yams: 4.5 out of 5 Although some parts were stringy, they were flavored very well!! I tasted the butter, the spices, everything. They were so good!! 😋🤤 Banana Pudding: 2 out of 5 I believe they use condensed milk in theirs, and it was ok for me. Strawberry Cake: 1 out of 5 I tasted the artificial flavoring, and it was a bit dry. I gave it to someone who loves strawberry cake, and they enjoyed it. Cajun Pasta: 4 out of 5 She graciously offered to make mine without shrimp, and that was greatly appreciated!!! The noodles were perfectly cooked, and I loved the flavor of the sauce. I wish it was spicy!!! Green Beans: 5 out of 5 Fire!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Corn: 4 out of 5 Nicely seasoned. The "Que" Cup: 5 out of 5 Fire!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Can't wait to explore more of her menu!!!!! The good thing about her serving food only 2-days a week (Weds + Fridays) it keeps us in anticipation to try the rest of her menu! Follow her social media pages to keep up with schedule/menu changes. To Nikki J: Congrats on everything, and I wish y'all nothing but the best! XOXO 🫶🏾

The food…. Hands down one of the best I’ve had in the DFW area!!! The flavor, seasoning, freshness, and the amount of food. The price is steep but I get 2 meals out of the oxtails so it was worth the $40. The oxtails fall off the bone the sweet potato pie🤯 sooo good. She makes seasoning that doesn’t have salt(yay)!! I’m excited for when they get a chance to expand I will be here often! Thank you for the great and kind service. I will be back.

The owner by far is the BEST thing about this establishment! Don't get it twisted the food is fantastic ALL THE SIDES ARE TO DIE FOR and the sweet potato thang IS THANGING! I love the smaller size as it's rich, creamy but you definitely don't want to eat too much . Her Greens is grandmama and them greens!! Hands down the best greens I've had so far. Sweet potatoes were charred and not too sweet quick I loved. I liked her Mac, it's the creamy not hard kind and my husband loved the smothered turkey wings. They serve food Wednesday's and Fridays and for the month of July, all desserts will be $5 each!!! But again, the owner is for sure sent from heaven with the disposition of a very humble soul. She introduced herself immediately and was talking to my daughter so kind! Then she was telling another customer some sound advice about holistic herbs for her alignment. May this place be blessed beyond measure!

I was excited to order from this bakery after seeing their photos of BD cakes. My husband is Turing 65 and wanted to present him with a special cake. I called 5 days in advance to order over the phone and gave the description of what I wanted. Ebony confirmed with me what I told her and thought everything was going to be perfect. WRONG! I also emailed through their website of what I needed just in case, and NO ever got back with me to confirm. After calling several times and emailing, NO one would answer the phone or email me back. So, when I went to pick it up this is what I got!!! SEE PIC Round cake, butter frosting with strawberries around it and a silver crown. After spending $98.00 I'm very disappointed.

My husband and I were invited to a birthday supper being catered by Absolutely Edible Cakes & Catering. We all were inspired by the presentation. The 1st course was shrimp and grits which were outstanding delicious! I personally told Nikki. I normally don't like or eat grits. However, her grits were so delicious. My husband and I finished our serving of shrimp and grits. The second course was meatloaf with mashed potatoes, along with fresh yellow corn and fresh green beans. The cornbread muffins were also delicious. Nikki along with her staff were very professional, courteous and friendly and fun to be with. I am looking forward to trying her baked goods in the near future.

I visited absolutely Edible Cakes and catering to tend to some other business. Nikki was extremely accommodating, addressed the issue, ensured a positive outcome and rebuilt trust through action. I finally got to try this sweet potato thing and had one for a birthday celebration. That pan is GONE. Thank you so much Nikki your actions are beyond appreciated.

Fried chicken is AMAZING. Service is great. Ambience I speaking that the place is first and foremost a bakery. The chicken!!!

If you're in or near Rowlett, go check out Absolutely Edible Cakes, Home of the Sweet Potato Thang! Every Freaky Fryday, choose catfish or chicken with two sides, plus a wildcard dish that changes weekly--last week was a monster burger, and this week it's a gorgeous stuffed baked potato. They were busy today, but trust me, this food is worth the wait! You can literally taste the love in every bite.

I initially went in to finally try the sweet potato thang. It was a Friday and I was pleased to learn that they offer plates on certain days. I got the sweet potato thang, a slice of red velvet cake, and the fried catfish, fries, and macaroni. The fish was friend nice and crispy. They sprinkled some of their house blended seasoning on the fish and fries. They were good but that macaroni was not right. It's not the type I would have expected. It was watery to me. I didn't really like the red velvet cake. I make this cake by scratch myself. The buttermilk flavor was really prominent. But I'm sure someone really likes it. Now the sweet potato thang was unexpected. It was really good. I liked the sugar cookie type crust and the potato filling has great flavor. I would come back again and buy a plate of food. You can find out what is being served off of her Facebook page.

I came for the fish on Fridays. the fish plate is $25 and it comes with two sides and a small thing of coleslaw. The fish and spaghetti were good. I also tried the sweet potato thing which I truly enjoyed. The service was good and it wasn't a long wait. I will be back.

It's Keith Lee fault. It was great friendly atmosphere. The sweet potato thang was amazing! THIS IS BAR NONE THE BEST SWEET POTATO THANG IN THE WORLD! Please don't take my word for it...try it for yourself. I double dare you to not have to include this in your life forever. The crust is SHEER GENIUS! This Sweet Potato THANG IS SO DECADENT, SO DELICIOUS... it makes my mouths water just thinking about it. Great variety of cakes. They have all flavors already prepackaged so getting through the lineup was pretty quick. The red velvet cake is very good. The portions are pretty generous and the cake is serious.

We ordered a cake for a surprise retirement party. We ordered strawberry it was done beautifully and the cake was so delicious and moist. We received so many compliments and wanted to know where we ordered it from. We will be a returned customer.

Good food and great desserts. I even bought the magic dust to go on my green beans because Ms. Nikki was so nice to make me my own vegan batch without the meat.

Sweet potato thang!. Absolutely delicious. Great service. I'm looking forward to Fish Fridays!

Excellent services and delicious food and dessert. Nikita is absolutely the best. The chicken is the best I have ever had and the Mac and cheese was great

One of the best sweet potato pies I have ever had! Definitely give it a try you wont be disappointed!

Everything here is so good you can tell the lady knows how to cook. What ever you do try the sweet potato thang. Oh your welcome it's worth driving for.

Perfect for that sweet potato pie fix. Go on and try it! I did. Let me tell you something: it is hard to beat it. So flavourful!

BELIEVE THE HYPE!! So I saw the Keith Lee review of this business, but what compelled me to come give it a try wasn't just the review, it was the beautiful spirit of the owner. I work in Rockwall, so my coworkers and I popped over during lunch to give it a try. First, the Sweet Potato Thang is ridiculously amazing. I've never had a sweet potato pie that tasted anything like it, and I'm glad I bought 4 to take home, although now I'm not sure I actually want to share them with my husband . I also got the Caramel Apple Cheesecake which is equally amazing! My tummy and spirit have been fed!!!

Great experience! Delicious product! Wonderful staff! Very speedy service. I will definitely return.

I've lived in Rockwall my whole life and never knew about this hidden gem until Keith Lee, of course. My coworkers and I came here after lunch and we were given a warm welcome by the staff. I got the Italian cream cake and the caramel apple cheesecake and let me just say... I was not disappointed at all. I will definitely be a returning customer when I need a sweet treat

Wonderful, and has not met a stranger yet. Baby, I love her. Go get y'all some "Magic dust".

I visited after the raving review from Food Critic, Kieth Lee. The food is amazing! I've had the wings. They are absolutely delicious and the flavor is unmatched. One word of advice, the wait can be long. But I've found it to be worth it.

I'm just here because of Keith Lee.... love yall!!! They said I need at least eighty five more character to post so here you go....

I've had the Sweet Potato Thang and my family loved them. Yeah... Them I got one for both of the holidays. But I came and got some cupcakes "Fuzzy Navel" they were so good, from the frosting to the cake being super moist. They were everything. Thank you Mrs. Nikki and family I love y'all so much. Y'all have embraced me and showed me love from day one. Y'all are the best,.so put me down for another 12! Hey I'll be back with photos...

I had a last minute order and the cake came out beautiful. I was happy to support a black owned business!

Very interested in their capabilities to design and create amazing 3-D cakes, I sent an e-mail and called to inquire. Both interactions were pleasant which supported my decision to visit the store and move forward with placing an order. My excitement began to diminish as soon as I pulled into the parking lot. The strip mall is dated and unkept, the parking lot is completely saturated with pot holes and there were what seemed like abandoned cars and moving trucks parked in the parking lot. Well, since I'm here, let me go inside and discuss my order, I thought. As soon as I walked in, I knew I would NEVER purchase a cake there. The lobby is dusty, junky and nasty! This is a cake store, cake should make you happy!!! This is a very poor example of how to make a sell before the paperwork. It's ridiculous how that place looks inside, and that is only what we can see. I refuse to think about how the baking area looks .

My favorite bakery! That sweet potato thang is the best thing smoking! All of my employees in Oakland love it and can't wait for our next order. SHE SHIPS

This business is absolutely wonderful! Very professional and the cake was made exactly the way I wanted, timely, and tasted great!!! Definitely will be my go-to for specialty cakes!!!

Ok. I heard about the Thang Pie on Fox News as the owners son was serving it to workers on TV. Ok I like to support local small business. I ordered one for my son in California for a party. It showed up on time thru FedEx. My son said it was the best tasting pie he has ever had but one problem and not the fault of the maker of the pie but FedEx. It showed up kind of messed up in transit. But my son and the party ate ALL of it. I sent a picture of the of the upside down Pie to Absolutely edibles cakes. I got an immediate response sayy she was so sorry and will to send another one if I paid the shipping. I said hell yes I'll gladly pay and since my son loved it so much I am having it shipped to me. So looking for it to show up and will be here in time for Thanksgiving. There a amazing small business, made in the USA and Texas. You will not be disappointed. And worth the extra cost.

Quite by chance, I came across this shop's "Sweet Potato Thang" and had it delivered to Los Angeles. First off, this is the most delicious sweet potato pie: Incredibly luxurious and smooth sweet potato atop a graham cracker crust. Words cannot appropriately describe how amazing this pie tastes. Don't know what secrets this shop has in its recipe, but this is truly a miraculous-tasting creation. The other strong impression ordering this pie made on me was thanks to the owner of the shop, who clearly loves her beautiful creations (check out her website at absolutelyediblecakes.com) and business. I had an initial problem with the delivery thanks to bad FedEx service, and she went out of her way, at some cost, to make it right, with very friendly communication along the way, when many others would never go to such lengths. Nikki represents everything that makes this country great--passion and hard work--and it's impossible not to be rooting for her business to enjoy truly deserved success. Especially when the product is as extraordinary as it is.

I've been here once before and thought the owner was very sweet. I had a client of mine order a cake for his wife and they had slices that he brought one to me, it was very good. I dropped by today 4/12 to order a cake and the girl was short and said she was booked! That's fine, but if you want business in the future you might be nice and say anything like, gave me more notice. I felt very unwelcome. This wasn't the owner because if remember she is taller and a whole lot kinder!

I have been a customer since 1998 and Nikki J has always been my go to lady .... Always professional yet she makes you feel like family and trust me you will leave with a sigh of relief in knowing your event will be handled as if it was for our former President and First Barak Obama!!! She is the real deal!

THE SWEET POTATO THANG! Sorry to plagiarize you, Jessica, but wow. I had never heard of this business nor this confection until today, but wow. This incredible dessert is quarter sheet size (9x13", at least ours was, I don't know if they're available in other sizes), and is just pure decadence. It's very rich with a buttery crust; the filling is very smooth (no chunks), almost like pumpkin pie or cheesecake, but the taste is different from both of these. I'm sure they have great cakes and who-only-knows what else, but whatever you do, try this dessert! It's unbelievable.

The quality and service is impeccable!!!! Beautiful creations with a delicious taste. Met the owner and her husband today.....two of the most beautiful people on this earth. Their spirit translates through their product. The entire Absolutely Edible team is amazing. For your next major life event or just to satisfy your sweet tooth GO pay them a visit. Wanted to take a pick of the delicious cupcakes we scored today but my family gobbled them up. I personally can't make a lot of suggestions but today we had strawberry, white velvet, and vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese icing with white chocolate shavings on top and they knocked our socks off!!! So stop reading this and Go.......... Go now, and grab me something too, because sharing is caring.

What an incredibly creative cake we had at our sons graduation party! We couldn't believe the detail and effort Nikki and her staff put into making it unique for my son. Definitely one of a kind. Nikki is very professional, fun, and I will always go back!!! The staff at our dinner didn't want to cut it because it was so cool, asked if they could take pics so we let them join in on our celebration. Thank you for making our first custom cake order a fantastic one!

This review is for the sweet potato thang I ordered from Goldbelly. This thing is the most delicious pie I have ever tasted in my life!!!!! Protect this woman and her hands at all costs!!!!!

I love the friendliness and amazing service that I receive. I have my sweet potato thang shipped to job my job, always arrives on time and never disappointed

My wife and I had our wedding on 11/9. My mother-in-law took care of all the arrangements and ordered a Caramel cake for me and a White cake for my wife. They both had an appearance out of a magazine or a bake show and were so delicious. Anybody in the Rockwall, Texas area, don't hesitate to stop by and check them out.

Welp. Don't know what to say, but that Sweet Potato thang was EVERYTHING! I was a bit weary, I mean there are more BAD Sweet Potato Pies out there, then there are good ones. but this one had so many great reviews, I thought, okay, its from the South its GOT TO BE GOOD. That graham cracker crust was just so amazing. I don't even know where to begin on what was better, the pie itself, was delicious. I ordered my pie online to have for Thanksgiving, so I can't comment on the actual facility/establishment, just that SWEET POTATO THANG! If you're contemplating it. Just click the order button... you're welcome!

Absolutely Edible made the cake for my Daughter's Baby Shower. It was "absolutely" beautiful. The cake was Amaretto, which is one of their most popular flavors. This one is the best I have tasted. It also looked beautiful and matched the theme of the shower perfectly. I blurred out my daughter's name but left the "A" to view the detail. I would recommend them any day and have to a few people.

Well nuts! I wanted to order from Lawrence's Godmother (he was on The Five today) and order some of her sweet potato pie but her website has been overloaded ~ her Godson is so wonderful we all crashed her website! Looking forward to sampling your wares here in San Antonio soon, dear lady!!

Absolutely Edible Cakes made both my wedding cake and my groom's cake. Both looked wonderful and both tasted fantastic! The presentation was absolutely impeccable. Anything you can dream up, Ms. Nikki can make it! Five stars is not enough to express my love of the bakery! BRAVO! Job well done! Thank you Ms. Nikki for making my dreams come true! So glad we live in Rowlett. I can't wait to order my anniversary cake! YUM!

I highly recommend Absolutely Edible Cakes for custom cakes that are aesthetically pleasing as well as delicious. I ordered a custom Lemon Rosemary cake for my birthday on really short notice (about a 5 days before my bday). AEC was the only bakery willing to take my order and they did an amazing job. The cake was very tasty! The hint of rosemary was subtle but added a nice touch to the overall lemon flavor. The buttercream icing was rich but not overpowering. I was also glad to be able to support a small business!

I deejayed and event Saturday night, where they had brought in a bowling themed cake for a Surprise Birthday Party. The cake had to be one of the most delicious moist and Sweet Tasting cake l have tasted at an event in a long time. Very Well Done.

THE SWEET POTATO THANG! Rowlett used to be my territory at work and one fine day I happened to stumble upon this bakery. Nothing fancy from the outside, typical bakery filled with wedding cakes and goodies. Nicest owner in the world. She did not buy what I was selling, but she did, however, tell me about her creation.... THE SWEET POTATO THANG!!!!!!! Honestly, I am not sure what was in this confection she gave to me. It tasted like baby giggles, puppy kisses, sunshine and smiles. It was like a sweet potato pie, but in a way I have never had it. There is an addictive chemical in it that makes you crave it fortnightly. No words for this slice of heaven. No words. Drive out to Rowlett, the drive is nice over the lake, just don't try to eat one of these while driving on the bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard, you will seriously loose control of your car. Thank me later.

Did a fantastic job at my wedding 1/19/19 and everything was so nice and put together we got their cake and catering and everyone loved it, nice staff, and roll with changes that happen!

Owner is very friendly. Husband and I love the sweet potato thang. My brother tried it and, although he had hoped for a bigger size, he loved it. Highly recommend!

I went on a Thursday there were several friends? Employees there sitting around. I needed a birthday cake. 55 for a 1/2 sheet I thought was high I can get that from Tom thumb for $12. As I was about to leave the owner suggested the sweet potato pie. Good choice. Everyone loved it. you get what you pay for the taste was worth it :--)

Purchased my Thanksgiving dinner that didn't turn out well, but my dessert was waaaay beyond expectations! My sweet potato pie was out of this world! It was delicious, light, flavorful, and enough! Way to go, Nikki!

Hands down THE BEST bakery and cake artistry you will find near or far!! I have had Nikki and her team make several special occasion cakes for me as well as some other treats. She ALWAYS exceeds my expectations with unbelievable personal touches I have not found anyplace else. She can make or do just about anything you request as well and is a dream to work with !!! Simply the best in the biz!
