Cake Lords

The cake was THE highlight of my daughter's 4th birthday! And the cake... this red velvet was literally THE best, red velvet cake that I have ever eaten. I wasn't even a red velvet fan before, and this cake changed my mind. So moist, so scrumptious, perfect cake. Even the cream cheese frosting was exquisite. The cake was also beautifully decorated, with my requests beautifully executed. Everybody at the party was talking about how delicious it was and wanted to know where I got it. The owner/ chef Wayne was so helpful & responsive, even instructing us how to best keep the cake cold for serving. I highly recommend this bakery. I will be coming here for my future birthday cakes. The only problem --- there were NO leftovers for me to take home🤣! I guess that's my excuse to stop by the bakery for a slice!!!

I ordered a birthday cake from Cake Lords & it turned out spectacular. It was very cute AND delicious. The cake was moist. It’s sweet American buttercream. The man whose owns it is so nice and friendly. He personally bakes and decorates the cakes. I spent $90 on an 8 inch cake. I easily got 15 servings out of it and I like a big slice.

We had an incredible experience with Cake Lords! We asked them to make a dinosaur-themed for our son’s birthday and they did a wonderful job. My son and all of his friends were so impressed with the creativity of the design, and the cake was delicious! Wayne was very responsive and friendly. We’re so glad we went with them!

The Red Velvet Cake is delicious, rich but not too sweet. The cream cheese icing is light and whipped while the cake is dense and moist. Highly recommend dropping in for a slice or two, the owner is really friendly and proud of his cakes.

Cake Lords Bakery does AMAZING work!!!!! I live in Florida and Wayne worked patiently with me for my mom's birthday celebration from establishing the look and flavor of 1 cake to providing guidance for set up. He really went out of his way to ensure I had everything covered. Based on his help and support from afar, I ended up ordering 2 separate cakes as well as additional treats for a dessert table. He was able to create 2 beautiful works of art that amazed everyone at the party. Each cake looked so realistic. And the TASTE!!!!!!!! Both of the cakes were red velvet and were not too heavy on the cocoa, so perfect for us. The treats were very pretty and tasted fresh. Don't go anywhere else in Harlem for your cakes but Cake Lords. We will be ordering from them again, next time we're in NY.

Loved the cake made for my husbands 50th birthday party. I got a two tier cake and two dozen cupcakes. Wonderful customer service and reliable delivery. I was in awe at the ease of how ordering went. I was most impressed that I was able to communicate with a person rather than filling out a form online. I will def order again when I need a cake. All the cupcakes got swooped up so fast I didnt even get a chance to have any.

My birthday cake by "Cake Lords Bakery" was so beautiful!😍🥳 It's vanilla and chocolate and it tasted great 👍🏾 all my guest loved it! And it was the perfect color rose gold for the party theme. The bible on top was it for me😍

Wayne was amazing he really went above and beyond for this cake and it came out so beautifully way more then I could ever imagine!! Also the cake was delicious and we all enjoyed it so much what a hit at this party!! Thank you for going above and beyond!

The best nyc cake maker ! Ordering was a breeze. After over a week of communication with cake makers and being frustrated with the lack of professionalism I came across Wayne who not only answered the phone when he was closing in five mins but took the time to place my order. He went over the different style of cakes and flavors I could get and a huge weight has been lifted and off me with seamlessly ordering a two tier cakes and two dozen cupcakes. Who knew wanting a birthday cake would be so crazy!!! Not at cake lords. They got the job done. The price point was phenomenal as well. I can't wait to send more business their way.

Amazing service, cake was delicious and received cake timely. I would recommend others to try them for their next celebration.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Called here for a cake for a work birthday and everything from the service to the cake was great. The person who took my order on the phone was super friendly and helpful. My cake had a 2 day turn around time and they made it happen, I got a super simple cake but it was beautifully done. I got a vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream frosting and also got a slice of chocolate cake to try. Both were so moist and the butter cream frosting was perfect, not overly sweet. Everyone at work LOVED IT. The service in the store was also great. The person who helped me (didn't catch his name) was very friendly. The price was fair, I will definitely be ordering from here again. Support your local small businesses!

Ugh, where to start... a few weeks ago I stopped into this establishment and decided to leave because the owner didn't acknowledge my partner and I when we came in. Thinking he may have had a pressing pastry matter on his hands, we gave the benefit of the doubt but left. I went back Friday on a whim and upon entering stood in front of the sparse showcase for a good 2-3 minutes before a mumbled "be right with you" came from the kitchen. When the proprietor finally greeted me, it wasn't the warm greeting you expect from a baker proud to peddle his treats instead a Spartan, "what will you have..." I sighed at an apple turnover and a non-descript cake slice that turned out to be strawberry shortcake. Shocked doesn't begin to describe my reaction to the $12 price point. When I asked the gentleman behind the counter didn't bat a lash to explain the $7.50 cake slice and the $3.00 turnover. I paid, thinking I just got the best pastries ever commensurate to the expense. Getting home and digging in, the Apple turnover left much to be desired - mostly the apples. The pastry itself was flaky - not because of the quality puff pastry but because of how dry it was. After sifting through this thing trying to find the apples, I gave up and switched to the shortcake. This establishment advertises moist cake, but that must not have pertained to the seven-dollar slice of sweet nothing. The cake itself was almost-moist, as though to say that it shouldn't have been cut from the whole and then left to shrivel in the sad display case. The strawberries, if they were fresh, came fresh out of a can or the like and the frosting was like an old stripper - gritty, unsatisfying, and trying to make up for where it lacks with sweetness. In short, I should have listened to my initial instincts and not returned to this business (that I won't even bother naming in this review), because if the service doesn't leave a good taste in your mouth, neither will the food...

I just want to stay if you are in NYC and need a bakery Wayne from Cake Lords Bakery is your guy. He was welcoming from the very first call to schedule a tasting. The tasting did not disappoint and neither did the my sister big day. Top layer vegan I can't wait to taste it next year. Middle layer red velvet delicious and 3rd layer vanilla also delicious. Everyone all night was talking about how beautiful it look. From July 31 up to now people still telling her how scrumptious that cake was. Thank you Wayne I can't thank you enough for making my sister big day. Marilyn

Banana pudding is absolutely delicious. Creamy texture, fresh bananas, topped with , of course vanilla wafers. You will definitely be satisfied. I was.

My mom had this incredible cake made for me by Wayne for my 30th birthday. My mom cannot stop talking about how wonderful Wayne was to work with. She loved how communicative, kind, and fair he was, and we were all astounded by his attention to detail! Wayne goes above and beyond to deliver beautiful cakes that really make the occasion!

I stopped by their shop today. The owners are very nice, very reasonable although I only met the husband today. It's a family business. He was patience showed me a picture to see what I want looks like and gave me an estimate price even though they wouldn't be able to fill my order for the time of my event. Thanks fir your kindness. Check out their website beautifully amazing looking cakes!!

UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER'S RESPONSE:  The owner's disgusting, grammatically poor response below proves my point that he is not only a low class person, but also a terrible business man who does not respect his customers.  I don't have a lot of money to spend on treats, and I had to trash what I bought from here (including one rock hard donut) because it was all gross and stale.  And yes, they do use food coloring (deffo in red velvet cake), so I have no clue why he's threatening to sue me for pointing that out! He should be sued for lying!!

I came here a few weekends ago to grab some treats to bring to a family dinner. My family has some amazing bakers. Needless to say, they are pretty critical of most pastries and cakes. I brought 4 different slices of cake so we could all have a taste; 8 people total. This was a hit. Big hit. First of all, my family gets very uppity when cakes that are supposed to have cream cheese frosting (like carrot cake or red velvet) have vanilla instead. Cake Lords did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious. Moist and decadent. I think there were 3 or 4 layers - it was an all around spot-on job. Will definitely be back - these guys know how to do cake!!

I swear there's no other way to put this, PURE PERFECTION AND SIMPLY AMAZING! Hands down no other cake shop compares to Cakelords, from service to quality of work and taste- Cakelords takes the crown!

Best beef patty!!! I tried it yesterday!!! Flaky and moist and flavorful. Best in the neighborhood as of yesterday

I meant to write this back in June, so here it is. LOVE the craftsmanship and service! I ordered this cake 1 week in advance and he gave me a great price compared to other cake services. He did an amazing job replicating the cake from the photos I sent him and I couldn't have been more satisfied. My sister and her friends were thrilled! Can't wait for this business to pick up and they have enough to move to a bigger shop. Can't go wrong with them. Thank you!

So amazing!!! The service is so good and I also loved the red velvet and banana pudding!

I rarely pass up dessert anywhere, if only to try something new and keep me going to the gym. The coconut cake from Cake Lords is the best I've ever had. I had it six months ago and am still thinking about it! I don't go in often but the window and sandwich board out front are consistently filled with temptation. Well worth checking out!

I ordered a custom cake from Wayne just 2 days before I needed. He was very gracious in accepting my order at the last minute and designed a really beautiful cake. The cake was moist and tasty! I would definitely order from Cake Lords again.

I went to a friend's small B'day gathering last night and tried ONE red velvet cup cake. Talk about a party in your mouth. OMG!!!! Moist, delicious, fresh, sweet, pleasingly good. I had to ask her where she got the cupcakes from. I am always down for sweets that rise to the expectation. Well done Cake Lords, never underestimate the power to deliver the goods and impress a future customer. Looking forward to my next trip to Harlem to stop in and purchase something yummy on the run! Edited: Wayne, my girlfriend's name is Martha - We both say Thank You!

Wow wow and wow! Cakelords Management nailed it!!! Wayne created the exact cake I described for a memorable brunch. Not only was the design amazing the cake was delicious. I ordered a carrot cake that was exceptional. His line of communication was excellent and he guided me along the way since it was my first custom cake order. Thank you Wayne. I highly recommend Cakelords Management!!

As usual this red velvet cake does NOT disappoint. AMAZING As I expected it would be !!! This is the 3rd cake I've ordered from him and it WONT be my last. I ordered a cake for Christmas and I had to ration it out lol... even my mother in law who doesn't even care for cake too much said it was so good- not too sweet, moist as EVER (it's even moist days later in the fridge). Everyone that I gave a piece to had nothing but good things to say and were amazed at how good the cake was. I think people are so used to these fake red velvet cakes - I've had so many from different bakeries in the Tri- state area.. it's so hard to find a GOOD one with that GOOD cream cheese frosting.. but this is IT! I've even had red velvet cake from Cake man Raven and this is BETTER ! ‍ LOL I want to try another flavor but I can't help but order the red velvet every time but I'm sure the other flavors won't disappoint. Thanks so much again!!! We will be back ...AGAIN!

One of my mom's friends first introduced me to this place at a party because the cake was absolutely delicious. It was red velvet and I wasn't a fan of red velvet until this place. It was soft, moist, not too sweet and had an amazing design. I loved it so much that I forced her to give me three pieces. Fast forward to two years later, I ordered this cake for me and a few people (I wanted to selfishly keep this cake for myself) and it was red velvet but on the outside it was white and yellow. Very simple but elegant. Fantastic. I enjoyed my birthday because of Cake Lords Management. Highly recommended. Thank you!

This place was amazing. They were able to build a beautiful cake in under 48 hours from my initial call. They even were about to give me a quote over the phone and had the package ready for my dads 60th celebration

I took a chance with Cakelords and order a bucket cake solely based on yelp reviews. I was not disappointed. The cake looked beautiful just like pictures I'd seen. Wayne was patient as I went through several ideas before finalizing my order. Beyond the design the cake taste AMAZING. It was moist and not too sweet, plus my order was ready on time.

My family and I absolutely love this bakery shop. Everything is so delicious, especially the carrot cake. You definitely must try.

I never been a person to give reviews but this is a must. My nieces was turning two and her mother request a "magical, dazzling, colorful, eye capturing, unicorn cake". I Immediately started to panic thinking where the magical flipping unicorn am I going to find someone that can do such a thing. After googling and yelping I found Cake lords management. I was extremely pleased that I found someone that was so skilled and had such an eye for detail. Not only did this cake look absolutely majestic the taste had my mouth watering a hour after I ate it. I want to thank Cake lords management for such a beautiful and tasty cake.

cake was super good didn't look exactly like the picture but was just as gorgeous. everyone loved it even my friend who isn't a fan of carrot cake. worth the money for the memories and taste! in terms of taste the frosting wasn't too sweet it was just right.

This place should be visited for so many reasons. The first and foremost is its Carrot Cakes, with or without nuts, they are the best in the city. But the shop itself looks like from another age when you entered a real pastry shop with its counter and behind it the baker at work. To me it is one of the most " kitch " place. Beside that, the pastry chef is a real artist ... just go and see by yourself. Last time I was there I saw a custom made cake a client was coming to pick it up. She had to let everybody take a picture of it...

This has to be my favorite red velvet cake. I tried it for the first time and was so impressed. I am very picky about red velvet and this is a moist delicious cake. Just writing about it makes my mouth watery .

customer service is everything to me. Horrible customer service be first off. I will never give this place my money again. The cake that I ordered was not good. They are Horrible at making your Image come to life. To top it off the cake was not good. I would give this place no stars.

Thanks so much Cake Lord for the moist, delicious red velvet birthday cake for my friend's birthday. Especially being it was less than 24 hours notice. You made my friends birthday that much more special! From the moment we first spoke you were cordial & professional & I really appreciate that. I will definitely spread the word about your wonderful baked goods!

Ordered a birthday cake and it was magnificent. Ready ahead of time though I ordered last minute. Very professional and the cake was rich, moist and fresh. Would recommend for anyone who wants a homemade cake with love. P.S. Try the pineapple-coconut

After reading the reviews we decided to try Cakelords as my daughter favorite cake is red velvet. This was the best cake ever. Fresh, moist, and delicious. Before ordering the cake I called and the service was exceptional. If you are looking for real delicious red velvet cake this is the place. And the management cares and follows up with you which put the perfection on service. BEST CAKE EVER. We will be ordering from here always and we will try the other items.

I am happy I chose Cake Lord to make my sister's babyshower cake. Most importantly, the cake tasted like heaven. We received compliments the entire night about the cake! i took home half of the cake, ate it the next morning since I didnt have a chance to get a taste at the shower -I wish I had a piece in front of me now because I'm still remembering how delicious it was-- moist, fluffy cake, and not too sweet! I would recommend Cake Lord to anyone, and I can't wait to come up with another event to get my next cake

Hands down Cake Lord Management is the best red velvet cake...exceeded expectations, my new go to for all occasions

Wayne is the best!!! By far, superb customer service!! I ordered a dozen red velvet cupcakes last minute. Not only was I able to have cupcakes ready, I was fortunate to have Wayne meet me for delivery, relieving me from driving to Harlem from Queens. The cupcakes were presented after a small birthday dinner. Everyone LOVED the cupcakes!! Wished I'd ordered more! (Had to hurry & take pic before they were all gone)

Ordered a chocolate cake for my manager's 20-year work anniversary and it was amazing. The cake was so moist and the staff was super helpful!! I'll definitely order from Cakelords again for upcoming events!

Worked with Wayne to order a red velvet cake for my baby shower. It was very very good and my guests loved it. Highly recommended and Wayne is very easy to work with and even checked in after the shower to make sure it was ok.
